[#29] The One Where Aiba Tops Jin

[4_03_am]

Welcome to the twenty-ninth episode of JEPcast, recorded on September 6th with your hosts Jennie/jadedfrenzy, Kami/tinyangl, and Peyton/nihongofrancais. Rhey/4-03-am is kind of MIA this week because she's lost her voice, but as Satan puts it, she's still around "in spirit."

I love Shige. After Yamapi, he is definitely my favorite NEWS member. I was lucky enough to see his butai "Konnan Yatte Mimashita" (3rd row!) and I have to say, the blond hair looks better in person. He may look mature on the outside but he's got a good sense of humor (writing his former J-web through the view of his imaginary cat? COME ON!) He might be a little vanilla compared to the other JE guys but that's the way I like him. ♥

Ahhhh Shigeeee... someone I know enough about to talk a bit on:
I love:
1. how he gives the ficcing fangirls enough PHAIL to write about.
2. Him wearing blue. Remember the Pacific shop photos? OH GOD ♥
3. How he tries SO hard to be tough and do his DevilvsAngelinTokyoDomeDVD-face. ANYONE WHO HASNT SEEN IT MUST GO TO WATCH. It's full of lol.

Plus his trying-to-be-too-cool-ness (as most people ahve pointed out) makes me cringe SO badly, and it gives so much ammo for those Shige hating fangirls >>; . It's definately something that natural happens to people who suddenly get an extending fan base. :/

p.s. nice new header you guys have there :o

Well, Shige is not among my favorite Juniors nor is he my favorite member from NEWS. What I like about him is his contagious, boyish smile and his overall personality. I loved watching him back on the Ya Ya Yah show because he always had that mischievous grin on his face and acted dorky all the time along with Kusano. x3

I guess the only thing I don't like about Shige is his singing voice. It's a bit too deep and husky for my tastes.

Thanks,
<3

Oh, and another thing!! Did you fellow fangirls see these JE PV parody videos on youtube?

The awesome person who makes these parodies has an LJ community here: http://community.livejournal.com/kissing_kisung/
(I don't use LJ that much, so I forgot how to link to a name xD)

Anyway, hope you all get a kick out of these! (Apparently Arashi tried to offer Tegoshi as the virgin sacrifice for eternal youth! O.O)

First podcast I've ever listened to from you ^__^ It was very nice work.
In response to the week's question:

I alternately love and hate Shige. Originally, I hated him because he was useless. (Actually, he still kind of is, where idol talents are concerned.) This boy can't sing, can't act, and is a mediocre dancer. Recently he's started surprising me with his public speaking and his humour, but that's about it.

What ACTUALLY made me like him was his j-web. I appreciate good writers, and he is someone who disdains the usual topics that idols cover. (That's also the reason why I love Koyama.) The cat thing alone was enough to convince me =)

This is the second episode I heard.
I think you do a great work! The episodes are really interesting.

About Shige.....
The first thoughts I have are:
I like him with short hair (his long hair it's so.... o.O .... WTF!!! .....ugly!).
He is really smart and organized.
He has a low voice.
And he's relationship with Koyama is really funny (sometimes they act like they are married).
