Shounen Club Premium

I watched all 6 personal interviews from Shounen Club Premium. 2007 to 2009 the members came to the show one by one to reveal their side of the story. It was really interesting and this show is quite special in that the guests often talk about very personal things they have never talked about before. I also really like the host, Taishi, he gets very excited about just about everything, thanks to him the tension is always high.






I almost surprised myself by watching Pi's and Ryo's parts but I guess I got to that stage. They were pretty interesting too though my respect for Pi sunk and my respect for Ryo rose. But I'll talk about that later.

It was really hard to get all the files, I went all around looking for them. Kato and Pi's were the rare survivors at newshfan's, got Masuda's and Tegoshi's at the request section of the LJ comm, Ryo's at the diary.ru's Kanjani8 comm and Koyama's at Veoh.

Overall I was pretty amazed at just how random the formation of NEWS was and how bad their bonds were before 2007. Like it was really tense and awkward and they were more like a collection of several small groups rather than a band. It appears that Yama Pi was pretty much pissed about being put in the band while Ryo was unexpectedly glad. I am also very impressed by Johnny. Like, "who is this guy?" How does he do it? I'm always amazed at how everyone just calls him directly if they have anything to discuss. And the way he picked out Tegomass just by listening to them. How does he even remember all these kids? There were so many amazing stories.

MORE

Of course Yama Pi was the one invited first, he had to be. His interview quite surprised me. I mean I understand that he was unhappy about being put in a band with a bunch of people he never even talked to but I still think he acted like a douchebag. Everyone looked up to him so much but he never cared. Saying "We had nothing to talk about" is just bullshit. Leader my ass. He basically said he didn't give a shit about the band for three years but then he actually tried talking to his members and they turned out to be great guys. What do you know? Basically all he did was promote NEWS just by being there. Perhaps leaving the band was the best decision he ever made as a leader.

Tegoshi was the little shit that he is. Only 19 he looked very relaxed and confident. I was mildly annoyed at him for saying that he couldn't fit in and stuff while in fact he just wanted to fit in with Yama Pi and Ryo. Koyama, Shige and Massu always looked after him but he seemed to take it for granted.

Koyama's was pretty normal. But he did talk about the abyss that lay between RyoPi and the rest of the band. I was a bit shocked since despite joining JE late Koyama is the oldest. But the story with the dancing at the auditions - that guy is smarter than he seems.

Shige was simply awesome. I am trying to do damage control and not watch too many shows with him but this is fucking brilliant. One of my absolute favourites. You could see he really had a lot to say. He was very honest, very funny and very human. Even the story of how he got into Johnnys, it seems like rather than his talent he got in because he did a thorough research beforehand. And he was just 11. Taishi really enjoyed it, you could tell. But I was surprised when at the end he said: “Shige-san is my favorite in NEWS now” ♥ (Masuda and Ryo didn't come yet but I doubt they could change that) and you could hear some people backstage laughing all the way.

If Shige considered himself elite before joining with Massu is almost the opposite. He always felt that he was one of the less prominent kids but it seemed like he didn't really mind since he just enjoyed doing this. Which doesn't make sense. He was good at dancing and singing and he was always very cute. What the hell? But he liked to dance and it didn't really matter what row he was in. He's surprisingly humble. It also appears that he didn't really get to sing up until Tegoshi came into the picture. It was Johnny himself who decided they would sound good together and so their fate was sealed. Anyway, he's the most popular now and I think he deserves this. I also found it really fascinating how different members' life paces matched the pace of their career. I mean Massu is a very relaxed person, he enjoys the process and doesn't like to be hurried. It took him 5 years to debut. Tegoshi, on the other hand, doesn't have patience. He wanted results at once and he debuted in less than a year.

Ryo was the last to come and they spent like half the show watching old embarrassing VTRs. I was surprised to see Ryo seemed really shy during the whole show. He talked a lot about Kanjani so there were many parts I didn't really get but I kind of understood how hard it must have been to be in two bands at once, based in different cities too. I also suspect he might not have realized that the jokes that might be funny in Kanjani might not work on NEWS. Which doesn't justify him acting like an ass but you know. I felt some sympathy towards him.

Anyway, the result is:



YES.

2003.10.27 Hey! Hey! Hey! - NEWS 1st TV Appearance + a stray ex-member spotted

So I just found NEWS' first TV performance, I mean at an actual music show. It was a Hey!Hey!Hey! one and they had it hard. But while I've seen the talk part I never actually seen the performance until now.

It's the first and possibly the last one with all 9 members and the thing is... they're GOOD. At that point they had THREE great vocalists. Plus Massu. So 3,5. Some JE bands have none. Not that it seems to matter. So anyway, the set is really good, you can see it really works (Except Yama Pi who is completely redundant with his intro). Private Hearts cause an incredible uproar, huh. But by 2006 they lost 3 members 2 of which just happened to be the good vocalists. I wonder how things would have be if that didn't happen.

ALSO THIS:



I just realized it now. Not only is there Yama Pi in this picture, the guy with the ponytail is actually Kusano! It that a middle finger? Bad Notti! Guess he got to hang out with the cooler crowd after all. But I'm not exactly happy about JJ being a part of this company. Not that it's surprising in any way.

NEWS の news

So Shige's third novel is due to come out in March. It's called "Burn" and I can make a couple of bad jokes on that. I kinda expected it at this point but still I am very glad. Three books is a serious deal and his plots seem to become more elaborate each time.

On the other hand there's no telling how this year will be for NEWS. So far there are no talks about anything NEWS. There's a Tegomass tour coming which is cool but that means KoyaShige will have a lot of free time. Well, Koyama has been promoted to main host recently so he's got a regular job but Shige only has stuff like his radio and Mirai Theatre. Maybe it's good, he's no good for my health. But I'm very amazed at how he can basically fit his inspiration into a tight schedule and write a book from scratch withing a month of two. I can't even write a fic in that time.

My last dream today involved me running away from this secret facility where they make zombies out of people. It seems like I was previously working there as well since I was in this lab and someone told me to do it to some poor sod but I couldn't bear it and decided to run off. It was this big building like a normal Ministry or something with a big hall and a central stairway but its wings seemed to go underground. So anyway at first I ran to the right wing and of course there were several zombies there and I thought I could fight them easily but it turned out much harder. I couldn't figure out how to fight and I was too slow to realize I had some melee weapons on me. I was still on the first one when I saw a group of some military men approaching and I know I was done for. But by that time I got an idea even though I seemed to have some kind of hints that told me that this was what I was supposed to do. PAUSE/LOAD Then there was a second chance and this time I knew I had to use my idea and ran to the second flood instead then descended down again. Like last time everyone ran to the right wing so I waited while they ran past the point where I'd been caught last time and then ran back to the main hall and outside. Outside it was sunny and beautiful, looked like morning. It seemed very peaceful and I knew I was safe. I also saw some figure flying and I remembered I could fly too so I did. I remember flying to this huge pedestal that looked like it belonged to a statue and looked back. I was free.

Wink Up 2014.01

When I knew Shige was going to be on the cover I thought that this would probably be it. You don't get Shige on the cover often, even less a cute Shige. It's funny how a year ago I had given away the January 2012 issue of Wink Up and now I requested another one. Well, that's what makes life fun: you never know.

MORE

It's pretty interesting how the magazine has like 4 different types of paper: there's the normal paper, the really glossy type, the cheap paper with colour and some B&W newspaper type. I dunno, even though I don't care about 80% of the content I just really like it as a thing.



I was slightly disappointed it only had 4 Shige pages + 5 NEWS pages (and the latter photoshoot was unusually boring), plus the regular Q&A and Photoshigenic. But there are many small articles to read and also a really nice poster.



It is done.

JE's ways keep messing up my head. I liked most of the new songs NEWS performed at Unsukoi but I couldn't find the studio recordings of them later. Today I took a look at the new 2013 album and was utterly appalled to find that it doesn't contain many of those songs apart from Chankapana/Full Swing and is made of new material which they most likely played at the 2013 tour. Like, WTF? Where's Let's Go To The Planets and other songs? This is so wrong. I have a feeling I'm going to get frustrated at stuff like this a lot from now on.

I went to bed really early last night (must have been the champagne) but today I stayed up late watching the Big Fat Quiz 2013. It was pretty funny and quite a change since I watch nothing but Japanese variety lately which is cool but it was refreshing to watch something British for once. But I was pretty surprised to find that I actually knew quite a few answers, even some of the really peculiar ones though I hardly ever read the news. I guess it's all thanks to tumblr. Well, come to think of it I got to watch this show thanks to tumblr in the first place too.

Johnny's Countdown 2013-2014

So today I watched my first JE Countdown. At first I thought it was too short but by the end I was kinda glad about it.

Now I didn't expect much. I'd even say I expected it to be bad but I couldn't imagine how bad it was going to be. Frankly it made me a little depressed.

I heard that this year's line-up was kinda poor. Looks like all the popular crowd like SMAP and Arashi went to Kouhaku or other places leaving the Countdown to T&T, Kinki Kids, NEWS and all the younger bands. KAT-TUN made a brief appearance like some kind of elite with their new song but didn't participate in the usual medley of 56 songs. They were pretty good though, among the rest.

Also ex-NEWS members Yama Pi and Uchi showed up. Yamashita looked pretty good though even more android-like than before. But his singing was do goddamn awful I was surprised. I mean he was never good at it but in NEWS he seemed to do a decent job but today he was terrible, really. But then he was by far not the only one. I actually can't remember who looked like they could sing. It was pitiful.

NEWS participated in quite a few songs often mixed with other bands but overall I think they did well. Tegoshi, what the fuck did you do to your hair? It looks awful. But of course he kept making lewd faces at the camera and even said a few words before Chankapana. I really wish he'd act more natural. Shige on the other hand looked quite radiant and made those puppy eyes at the camera. Uff.

Best part: that time at Kibou Yell (where the lyrics contain the word ‘back’) Shige put his hand gently on Tegoshi’s back while Massu just shoved Koyama hard. Twice. It was really funny.

Down with 2013

The first thing that come to mind is how much this year sucked. There were so many thing that went down. First there was a horrendously long Winter that never wanted to end. The Spring that only lasted a few weeks. A brief hope that I found my dream job which was crushed over the course of the next few months. The tough decision to leave the courses after 5 years. The Autumn filled with disappointment and anxiety. And the December that has pushed me to the edge of sanity.

Also somehow I found myself thinking how it's been 10 years from 2003 - a year where I graduated and a new age of my life began. Also a year when two of my very important bands were formed. So without meaning to I kept reflecting on this decade, it seemed like some sort of cycle. You know how these 10 years I kept having bad dreams about school? Well, they almost stopped. Not completely but it doesn't really bother me anymore.

This year I had struggle upon struggle even though there were some good things too occasionally. But I know I really tried my best and even if it didn't always work out I feel like I managed to do a couple of very important things at the end.

Right now I was writing my customary Totals post I thought about how the truth is that no matter how many terrible things have happened, even if they were yesterday - it doesn't have to matter. Today is today. Even if it wasn't the last day of the year I want to live in the today, take one step at a time. So now that it's less than an hour left of this year I want to leave the past demises and disappointments where they were. They shouldn't exist right now. I want to drop them off like a heavy load and proceed into the blank future.

Happy New Year!

NEWS

I wrote more than a dozen NEWS posts already but I never really wrote one fundamental one. Now I know enough to do that.

In a way it comes as no surprise, really. I mean I had a k-pop crush, then a J-rock one so now I had to come full circle and acquire a JE band as well. And what band. Apparently NEWS is the least popular band in their generation of JE (as compared to Arashi or KAT-TUN) and they also had a pretty bumpy road. But I really like them. Also their current average age is the same as mine and it really does matter as in a way we're on a same page in life, even though those pages are very different.

After the great TVXQ demise I try not to invest so much of my heart into bands. So far it's working pretty well, I guess. Of course there are still feelings of affection involved, I just don't take them as seriously as I used to.

Much MORE

As I watched old videos I couldn't help but feel just a little bit sad at the departure of Pi and Ryo and even Uchi and Kusano. But I guess since they started out as 9 and weren't really that close is wasn't that big of a surprise. In the end I kinda think it was a very natural process. On a personal level NEWS made me think about things like popularity and the images people create. I've known about Yama Pi for like 7 years but I never liked him. I just never could understand what was the big deal with him? Why is he so popular? His voice and dancing is average and while he managed to build a nice body 10 years ago he looked like a tadpole. His style in clothes was also pretty bad. And yet nobody even doubted for a mere second his authority and coolness. Tegoshi has been fangirling about him for years too. Ryo was also the epitome of coolness despite or even thanks to his arrogant attitude. It felt like those two were always too cool for the band and the younger ones were often suffocated by their presence. If you watch the lives and the backstage videos is become painfully obvious that Ryo and Pi never quite belonged there, always kept a distance. After they left it felt like the others were able to shed their old skin and finally release their full potential.



I really like the current NEWS. I think there's a certain harmony in this formation. Everyone seems to have a really good relationship. I can see every pairing except for Koyamasu working out. Basically I think 4 people is a really good number for a band. Nobody gets left out. They get on very well but apart from Koyashige it's just good friendship, they aren't preposterously close like JYJ. And at this point I kinda like that better, I guess.

Undoubtedly the basic units are Tegomass and Koyashige. The former were destined to become a unit since before NEWS while the former are... practically married. Since becoming a quartet though there seems to be a certain positioning of Koyatego - Shigemasu which works pretty well too. I developed a certain liking to the former. I noticed that they also have a certain standing order. It's not as fixed as TVXQ but they stand like this a lot especially in the promo photos. I don't really mind it except when there's a gap in the middle. Gives me a bad feeling. But it's pretty much agreed upon that Koyashige are the Mum and Dad and Tegomass are the kids. It applies to both looks and personality and is perfectly endearing.

Apart from the colors now they also kinda have a shape attached to them. I like how it's stylized and incorporated into the name. In a way this time it really feels like a new start. Four names, four letters, four directions.



I'm quite interested in 3 of out of 4 current members but I like them all in very different ways. Tegoshi is someone I deeply admire, someone who fascinates me, someone I want to learn from. Shige is one of the very few artists I can identify with. He's similar to me in many ways. He's not dazzling, will never be among the best and he knows it but he is making a spot for himself and I really respect him for that. Massu is someone I don't understand at all but he's very interesting and very unique and I love people like that. His smile can warm hearts and it's very contagious. I'm not really interested in Koyama on his own but he's like the band's mummy. He's very kind and he loves him fellow members a lot. I also really admire him and his work as a reporter.

I terms of music I don't even know what to say. Obviously this was the case where I was drawn in by personalities only, music wasn't even an issue. So with NEWS instead of downloading the music I just watched them perform and got to know all of the songs that way. At first I thought most songs were boring but gradually I came to like about a half of them, I guess. To me it seems like NEWS' debut was kinda spontaneous and random. They were just a temporary unit that somehow ended up debuting. Some members didn't even know each other and I think most weren't happy to be in the band in the first place. K.K.K.were a lot better off as three, Tegomass had to postpone their debut for 4 years, Ryo and Uchi already had Kanjani8 and Yama Pi was way too cool for all these kids one of which he's never seen before. Like, KAT-TUN's debut was very anticipated and well-planned but NEWS just kinda happened. Thus they were underproduced and most of their early songs were pretty lame. But over time things changed. NEWS gained their own identity and some good songs. 'Color' especially was a really good album. All in all they have some very nice and catchy pop songs. I also like to think they're classier than many JE bands.



Talking about performances though... After being excited about TVXQ for 4 years I still can't get used to the level of fail in JE. I seriously can't even comprehend it. I know JE doesn't do vocal training and kinda got over it, mostly. But it's not just that. The choreography is all over the place too. But I guess in a way I came to see it as a part of the charm. It really made me remember that one secret someone posted long ago. Rather than brilliant performance I expect to see entertainment and that they deliver. Like with this one performance they did last year where Tegoshi completely failed the timing of the dance and then Koyama couldn't get the mike and then Tegoshi almost dropped his and it was so ridiculously bad that it made me laugh hard.

But in terms of voices I'd say Tegoshi's the only one who has good solid vocals. Nobody else can even come close to that. I don't even want to try to rate them because everyone's got good and bad points but... I guess Massu would come second. His voice is not very strong but it's very stable. But I don't think the problem is just about the voices. A lot of it is about songs that don't fit these voices. But I guess in the end like JE isn't about good singing, but engaging the audience. I watched the Unplugged live and I thought everyone did a pretty god job since they actually concentrated on the singing.

I know now isn't the best time to get involved, really. I mean after the fall of Megaupload and then then the major cleanup of Madiafire most link from 2011 and older are dead. Then again that makes it kinda fun - it's like treasure hunting. I feel like I crossed livejournal and blogger back and forth and I keep finding old subbing teams and private stashes nearly every day. I've watched a lot and read a lot and I'm packed with pictures and videos but there's still a lot to discover and I'm excited.

Finally I want to say that thanks to NEWS I was able to understand the JE a lot better. Not just JE but the whole concept of Idols. I used to kinda disregard it. It sounded so lame to me but thanks to Tegoshi I was able to view things in a different light. He's always saying this catchphrase "because I'm a Johnnys" as if it's supposed to justify his awesomeness. When he jumped from 220 m and smiled at the fucking camera I was like "You gotta be kidding me!" And he's afraid of heights. That really made me realize that being an idol is a huge responsibility, a reputation to live up to.

The last several months of my life have been absolutely terrible, even though I'm kinda used to it by now. But I really feel that I have been blessed with something to survive this time by discovering this wonderful band. I needed this in my life. 以上。

Now there are many things that make me depressed. But there's nothing more depressing than when mum makes me try on dresses. They all look good, I look good in them and I don't want to take them off but there's no point in keeping them. I had 3 dresses in my closet - white which I wore to the J-party, red which I wore to the prom and black which I never wore though I once lent it to my friend. That says it all.

K-pop 2013

Since the TVXQ demise 4 years ago I haven't really been watching the K-pop scene. There weren't more than a few songs that caught my attention. Not that I was actively seeking but I did check some stuff from time to time. Lately as I got interested in JE I somehow began to compare it to K-pop (I'll totally make a post about that later) and ended up watching some K-pop MVs but it never really worked out. Today I decided to specifically watch at least a dozen of some of the more popular K-pop MV to make sure I'm not biased and see if anything catches my attention. Well, I watched a lot more but nothing came out of it. I was desperately hoping for something, someone to catch my attention, something nice and catchy like "Nobody" or "Barae" but alas.

Here's some of my thoughts:

Girl bands surprisingly left a better impression, but most of them still look too vulgar.

WTF happened to Girl's Generation? I've never been a fan but their early songs were cute but then they got generic and now they tuned into 2NE1?

Miss A continues to disappoint. I mean they look decent compared to most but not enough to hold my attention.

I had a pretty good impression of 2NE1. Until I saw Falling in Love Mv that is. Ugh.

T-Ara was probably a band that left the best impression. I like their visual style, it seems more consistent than the rest and their songs are ok.

Now boy bands were terrible. They all look and sound exactly the same to me.

I used to like Shinee a littel bit, even if just 2/5 members but all the recent MVs are so damn boring I can't.

I have no idea what to make of SM's baby EXO. Wolf made me cringe. Yet Growl is a pretty good song, probably the only one that stuck. They seem like good singers and dancers. Good job, SM.

Finally I decided to watch a couple of TVXQ MVs as my Mum urged me lately. Seeing them was somewhat comforting. HoMin are great performers, that's no doubt. But their songs seem to have evolved or rather devolved into synthetic generic bullshit just like Super Junior's. A shame, really.

Of course I only watched a small portion of what's out there and didn't get to any solo projects but seriously I don't think I want to see more.

My main problem with K-pop is that it's terribly overproduced. Most videos make my eyes hurt and some not just the eyes. Most songs sounded like they came out of a random sound generator. To me most K-pop acts resemble brightly wrapped colourful presents that are empty inside.

The 10th Anniversary

Though TVXQ as I knew and loved it is long gone I want to wish them all a happy Anniversary! 10 years is a long time and I’m glad they made it this far despite the losses. To me they will always be the best band in K-pop.

It's really nice to have your Mum as a fellow fan. It's cool to watch the concerts together and everything. But it's also pretty embarrassing at times. When you read other people's stories it's really funny but when it happens to you it's different. Even if they're the same things you thought yourself, that's even more embarrassing.

Last time we watched Live Diamond and at one point my Mum went: "Koyama, where's your ass?" and I was like o_O
Yesterday we watched "Utsukushii Koi ni Suru" and she kept making comments like "Tegoshi looks like a female hooker." Which he does. But I like it.
