[Warning!] This is a very very very belated post for Nagano's 39th birthday! The earlier parts were saved from my draft, because I'm an incorrigible procrastinator. So, take note when reading dates and stuff because I started writing when 9 Oct was about to end and barely managed to complete it today :D
It's 09.10.11! One of the ought-to-be-commemorated dates this year. Just because it looks nice like that. Well, at least the date looks like that where I come from. And that means....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAGANO HIROSHI!
お誕生日おめでとうございます!
*SURPRISE!~
Oh the beloved Mama of V6. Have an awesome 39th birthday.. With Papa Sakamoto XD Reminisce all your memories together in the past 15 years~ With the Little Ones of course :D Altho I can't really imagine Inocchi being considered as part of the Little Ones since he already has Inocchi Jr., but oh well, let's just welcome everyone into the Big Happy Family of V6 :D But it's pretty hard for the mama&papa to reminisce and talk with the Little Ones in tow, so let's leave Kamisen under Inocchi as the Guardian.. Or more like Troop Leader XD /I sound like a delusional fangirl, oh wait, I am one.
Technically, it's belated since it's past 12am now and already 10th Oct there in Japan but I'm still taking my own sweet time writing this post (while doing a dozen other stuffs on the Net). It's already 14 Oct there in Japan, which just shows how sweetly I take my time. It takes a long time to post one entry since I get all perfectionist when I post something haha.
Birthday message to Birthday Man: I hope you'll continue being the adorable Nagano: who loves to eat/anything that involves food, who is always so calm and mild-mannered, who's always the Navi during trips so Inocchi nicknamed him 'Nabino Hiroshi', whose level of attraction to a woman may be proportional to the amount of information she gives him, who's still rockin' those backflips/acrobatic stunts at the age of 39, and who's gifted with that soothing mellow voice of his.
As it's his birthday, pic of hatching Nagano~
Naaww since I haven't posted anything abt V6, allow me to gush a lil' bit about them in this post. If the pictures look weird or kinda distorted, it's just me and my awesome awful screencapping skills.
See how cool they are?
THEY ARE AWESOME!!! OOOOO!!!!~
/adds that "OOOOO!~" sound that people associate with tribes and warcalls /and 'awesome' has got to be one of the most used words in my LJ.
V6!
Just because this was taken in Seoul.. (where SJ are >.<)
I can't really remember what got me real stuck with them, but I recall reading senpai pimp posts and picked them as the next Target of Choice of Senpai Groups. And next thing you know, voila! Here I am another fish hooked by the reel in the V6 fandom :D And I'm in the process of testing the waters for TOKIO :D
Sorry for my weird choice of pictures. Photography has never been my forte, sadly (points to first picture)
My current ichiban is Okada :D Well, what can I say. Except Original Sexy Osaka Man. And his enigmatic personality (Anyone recalls Patrick Star's "The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma"? That quote comes up everytime I use the word). Just had a mini Okada movie-marathon with my mother, watched Flower (Hana Yori mo Naho) and Winter Games (Fuyu no Undoukai). Loved them! :) Although most of the time I was just blankly staring at him wondering how could he be that handsome/cool/mysterious/sexy/allcharacteristicsafangirlwouldlist.
The rest of them, idk, they just weave in and out of their ranks and depends on the mood and what I'm watching, they can just be anywhere in my bias ladder :D
I find him handsome in Change the World PV LOL XD Inuyasha~
As for Sakamoto Leader - or Marsa, the name which never fails to crack me up LOLOL XD - I love him and his fears. From heights (Oh Maa-kun, I understand you) to bugs, it's just INCONCEIVABLE that a man that age can be that afraid of something. And that's what makes him.. kawaii? Haha /fail. Yeah, I misuse words from other languages often. I'm a self-proclaimed language destroyer. AND OMG! I nearly forgot one crucial plus point. His voice. I like his voice best in V6 ^^ Just listen to his solo, Cobalt Blue, if you haven't. It was love at first listening (?) for me. Nothing's more mesmerising than a.. how do I explain it.. rich, soulful (?) voice singing this sad slow ballad. Can't help it though that I'm a sucker when it comes to ballads XD It took me by surprise though that the words cobalt blue and John Lennon were in the song when I read the romanized lyrics. My katakana skills leave much to be desired "KOBARUTO BURUU no sekai~" :D
Nagano a.k.a Daigo a.k.a Ultraman Tiga!~
And for Nagano - or Nabino, I imagine a rabbit with that name - I listed his plus points above. And also because he's Ultraman! One of the few cartoons that I watched when I was young (and Power Rangers). I'm in the process of collecting information about him the way he's an avid info collector as well. I like him too because he's born in the same month as me - yeah, I'm as rational as that. Like finally, one of the guys was born in October XD (And Henry :D And Donghae too <3333 1 more day!) It's unfair though that my sister gets to share the same birthdate with Okada. Hmph :<
Who else would it be if isn't cheeky Inocchi? :3
And for Inocchi - or Inocchi, coz I've been made to believe that's what his real name is - I love him because he's Inocchi. The moodmaker, joke-cracker, sunshine AND rainbow of the group. When he smiles, his eyes turn into tiny rainbows, that's how I see it :D His laugh is just addictive. You can't help but laugh along. It gets bad though when I tried to watch "Tengoku wa Matte Kureru". Kept imagining him grinning and being all hyper when I was watching it :D Just rewatched their 2005 summer sp again for the lulz of it, esp during Inocchi's "V6 medley". "Wa~aaai nanda~" And complaining "Urusaaaaii~" when he's been the only one talking all along haha. But rly, it doesn't feel right when Inocchi's not around... Poor Maa-kun had to drive in the quietness (?) of the morning without Inocchi to wreak havoc. Like during this winter SP, and even papa and mama acknowledged that it feels a little quiet without troop leader with them haha. Oh yeah, as for the 2005 summer SP, someone sub it prz *begs*. It's totally full of awesome and lols and rofls and lmaos.
Go senses trouble~ Go.. Go! *lame joke there*
And for Go - or little captain fail - coz for all the (w)rap fashion he dons and the gangster appearance, at times, he fails hard, in an adorable way. He used to be my least favorite, due to his outer appearance and all, but the episode that granted him entrance into my "Circle of Rabu" was the horseback archery episode on Gakkou e Ikou. It was hilarious from start to end, I promise you. Seeing Okada ride a kiddy horse that you see at playgrounds, Go riding a pony (they were a pair of disaster from the start XD), and Okada doing horseback archery to the tune of Matsuken Samba - PRICELESS <3 Other fail moments of his include the Rusie Dutton part on GeI and Taiko episode with him playing the Chappa :D I also love his little complaints and childish behaviour XD
Cute Ken Bunny!~
And for Ken - or Peter Pan, coz ken and pan rhymes ken never ages - seriously, is this man... man? Ok, lame joke there. Anyway, I thought he was the youngest at first due to his looks and voice. He still looks the same as when he debuted, and the fact that his voice sounds like he breathes helium doesn't make things better. One possible explanation is that he's somewhat related to Edward Cullen, coz they both look seventeen forever. Oh Ken you vampire! Sucking people's blood and stealing girls' hearts~ I love it when GoKen comes up with random jokes and comments XD But he's pretty straightforward and has a sharp tongue at times.
And finally, I managed to conclude this post. Whew!~ As an ending, because I'm biased like that a bonus picture :D
Okada says "Gee up!" horsie~
