29. Artist--Ohno Satoshi, G [9-10-08]
Ohno loves art. He loves the feel of clay beneath his fingers and brushes in his hand. Sometimes his creations are well thought-out, sketched, designed, redesigned, perfected in his mind before he even touches his materials. Other times, he lets his mind drift, forgetting everything but the unanswerable emptiness of roving thoughts, half-asked questions, and slips back to awareness just in time to see a finished work before him. The projects he likes best, though, are those that confound him. He stares intently, scrutinizing every angle of the concept like a sculptor approaching the finest marble. He'll think, struggle, start and restart, and in a blurred fit of creativity and frustration will reach the very edge of the precipice called failure before seeing--finally really seeing--the essence and purity of his own unique vision.

32. Wood
33. Acceptance--Various, G [3-16-08]
There's something more precious than gold to each and every person contracted under Johnny's. It's more important than sales figures, or how much someone likes a song, or even how many people come to the lives. In the backs of their minds, they all know it, somehow.
Very few get to experience it.
Acceptance. Knowing that when you say something, your fans will support you. Knowing that when you make a lifelong decision, they will cheer and not walk out. Knowing that you can be open and honest, and sing and write from your heart. Knowing that when you make a mistake, they will forgive you. Knowing that they will eventually understand that you have to do what you have to do to stay sane and healthy.
Very few of the artists are really conscious of it, but those who are know that it is one of the most valuable things they will ever touch in their lifetime.

35. Shiver--Kanjani8, G [3-22-08]
Everyone has had their fun, half of them have left in taxis already, and Yasu is left standing alone out in the cold. He bounces slightly, thinking it may warm him up, but it doesn't work. He tries laughing, then, thinking back over all the idiotic drunken things he and his bandmates did--things that would surely come up in the next MC.
He bounces a little again, but gives up and ducks his head, trying to stave off the stomach ache that has risen to aid the cold in bringing Yasu misery. He shivers.
Suddenly, from his right side, a jacket sweeps over his shoulders, and from his left he's subsequently encircled by a friendly arm. He looks to each side, and Subaru and Maru have come to his rescue.
"Slumber party at your place," Maru chimes, and they all laugh until the cab arrives.

39. Pretend--Chinen Yuri, Ninomiya Kazunari, Ohno Satoshi, G [7-17-08]
Johnny's idols learn very quickly how to deal with internal conflict.
WHAT CHINEN SAYS: Nino-sempai, I really respect you!
WHAT CHINEN MEANS: I am totally studying your every move to figure out how to get to Ohno!
WHAT NINO SAYS: My, Chinen! You've certainly grown taller!
WHAT NINO MEANS: Just a little bigger and I won't feel TOO bad about TAKING YOU DOWN, punk!
WHAT OHNO SAYS: Well, we can all just go out to dinner, maybe?
WHAT OHNO MEANS: ...I wonder if I'll end up having to pay for all three of us...
40. Curious--Uchi Hiroki w/ Kanjani8, G [3-18-08]
"Alright, you've got us wondering, Uchi..."
"It's NOT my fault!" Uchi screamed into the phone, only to hear seven hearty laughs coming right back at him.
"No, but it's part of your comeback," Subaru chimed, clearly pushing the others aside to get closer to the phone. "Coming back in style. Yasu's style!"
Uchi could hear Yasu's voice rising as Subaru was pushed aside. "It's just a misprint, right?"
"Right! Seriously, guys," Uchi whined. "And Ryo-chan, why are you in on this? You already made fun of me with everyone else earlier!"
Loud protests rang out on the other end of the line. "You told NEWS before you told us? Ryo, what the hell?"
"It doesn't matter!" Uchi screeched, holding the phone close to his face. "I don't care what the article says! I'm playing the PRINCE in the musical, not the PRINCESS!"
41. Different
42. Smooth--KAT-TUN, G [3-20-08]
Jin arrives at rehearsal half an hour late and accompanied by a small child. Predictably, everyone stares.
...Except for Ueda, who pretends not to notice. "You're late."
"Uh, yeah," Jin replies, looking down at the kid. "Sorry."
Koki walks over to the kid, leaning down and patting him on the head. "Hey, what's up? Is this your papa?" The child shakes his head and Koki backs away, having eliminated one possibility.
"Your... uncle," Nakamaru volunteers. The child shakes his head again and tugs at Jin's arm. Jin bends down to talk to him in whispers.
Kame snaps and points. "I've got it! Publicity stunt!" This time, Jin shakes his head. Junno starts laughing, and everyone's attention goes to him.
"Maybe he borrowed him from someone!"
Nobody but Junno laughs. Silence.
"She... she's a really big fan. And I'll take him back, I promise!"
43. Right
44. Damn--NEWS, PG [3-21-08]
The sun set behind the hills as the woman waited impatiently for her lover. The flowers swayed around her ankles, ruffled by the wind, and her hair flew wildly about her face. Then, in the distance, she saw her lover approach. Joyful, she ran toward him, arms outstretched, for she had waited so long to embrace him. To be enveloped in his arms once more was something she thought to only be a dream.
"Aw, damn!"
Massu covered his notebook as Shige peered over his shoulder.
"I lost the bet," Shige cried. "I was SURE it was Kei-chan posting those stories online! Massu, how could you betray me like thiiiis?"
45. Desire
46. Ritual--Nagano Hiroshi, G [9-10-08]
Nagano Hiroshi swears he's never seen such a beautiful vista in his life. The way the colors blend together takes his breath away. The way the soft light spills gently over peaks and little still pools nearly brings a tear to his eye. The greenery is lush, ideal, and for a moment he fancies that he could hold it in his hands, make it a part of himself. He raises his camera and lines up one perfect shot.
A click, and a wistful sigh.
"Well then. Itadakimasu," says Ken, sliding his plate out of Nagano's reach.

50. Bully--Murakami Shingo and Akanishi Jin, G [3-24-08]
"No, wait, stop, stop it!" Jin shouted, attempting to wrench himself out of Hina's grip.
"I refuse, you idiot," Hina responded sharply, letting go of Jin's arm just long enough to grab the camera. He pointed it purposefully at Jin's face, way too close for decent focus.
Jin tried to nudge the camera away with his forehead. "Don't you want to get my good side?"
"You don't have one!" Hina shot back. "They're all bad!"
"Better than yours," Jin shrieked, shielding his collarbone from one grappling hand.
Hina whipped the camera away from his face and started trying to hand it off to the staff. "I can't hit him properly AND hold him down at the same time with one hand. Help me out!"
