I have loved Yuma's acting from before I started counting myself a Yuma fan. So there's no wonder I was beyond myself from happiness when I got the chance to see him play the lead role in a theatre adaption of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray - not once, not twice, but four times! Yeah, call me crazy, but this play was the reason I went to ( Read more... )

Together with justironic and another friend I went to see KAT-TUN's 9arter Tour at Tokyo Dome on May 10th. Dome concerts are special in themselves, but I've heard that KAT-TUN concerts are worth going to even if you're not a fan. I like KAT-TUN well enough and listen to their songs more often than many other JE groups, so I was very happy to finally get to ( Read more... )

(This is yesterday's news, but I had no time to update my blog then...)

Taguchi will release a solo single in November this year! It's called Hero. And apparently there will be some kind of release event as well. Too bad I'm not going to Tokyo until December... But I'm happy about the release anyway ( Read more... )

I wasn't really planning to go see Takizawa Kabuki in 2015 because there were already many other shows I had planned to see. But then my friend told me she had won several tickets and had two spares, so I went together with justironic and we both agreed that we were sooo lucky to see the 10th anniversary of Takizawa Kabuki and it was amazing! For me, getting ( Read more... )

I've had more than 4 months to prepare for this day: the day when Taguchi Junnosuke has left KAT-TUN and Johnnys'. Lots of time to prepare doesn't make it easier though. My emotions are so mixed up - I hate that he's left the group and would have loved for him to stay and keep spreading his smile and sillyness the same way as before, but at the ( Read more... )

I don't know what happened to me for he past year or so, but I've suddenly got this thing for Inoo in Hey! Say! JUMP. It's not like he's becoming one of my favorite idols or something (I have my favorites and very clearly so) - I just...find myself drawn to him a little extra than before. So when I won tickets for me and justironic for his stageplay カラフト伯父 ( ( Read more... )

Today it was announced that Yuma's first solo concert will be released on DVD and Bluray on January 13 next year! However, it will only be available for pre-order through his record label's website during November 20 - December 8. (I love it how they make things so easy for foreign fans - NOT ( Read more... )

Yuma's first ever solo tour - and I was able to go together with justironic at Tokyo Dome City Hall on May 2nd. I loved every second of the show!

I'm so excited, the new album by Hey! Say! JUMP was announced today! It's called JUMPing CAR which is a hilarious name if you ask me. But I think the track list looks as interesting as always, and I'm very curious about the songs by the new sub-units (anyone else except me who thinks the song by Yamada and Keito will be a ballad?). There are three ( Read more... )

Even though I should be sleeping right now, I just have to write a little something about today's big news: the boys of Bakaleya 6 now have an official unit name! The name is *drumrolls* SixTONES! Even though I think the name is slightly odd I'm just so happy that these hard-working boys finally were given an official unit name. I mean, come on - ( Read more... )
