i suggest that you should, irene! :yes if you have time, this drama will hopefully be worth the watch :D

speaking of sousuke, ryo might have a new drama this spring :innocent

^ oh yeah, i read about that!!

i hope it's true. anything Ryo is like an instant win. :laugh

true, true. :D

(but i'm still hoping for jun to get a drama :weep lol)

i read that the drama rumor has a taxi involved or something. imagine ryo as a taxi driver? :laugh hilarious. i think it's also based off of a manga. i dunno, i just have no clue how rumors come out this early. :P

a taxi driver...THAT GOES ON A VIOLENT RAMPAGE?! 8D
LOL. i love Ryo in psycho roles. it fits his nature. x333

APPARENTLY OHKURA WAS IN POPEYE THIS MONTH TOO: UNF UNF

not as sexy as Kame's but still pretty hot. ;)

is there a leak for The SHIGOTONIN's debut single Kyoukasuigetsu yet ? :shrug

i saw a TV sized preview of the song on JPS earlier this week, but other than that, i'm not sure where to find it :shrug

^ the preview should have been out by now since the single will be released next month on the 4th

if anyone likes spoilers, watch these previews for "uta no onii-san" and you can see maru's role in it. it looks like he's gonna be ohno's buddy, lol.

i hate to spoil myself. :3
but thanks Lisa, lol. i'll watch it later.

you know what i want now? a KANJANI8 album!! it's been a while since "KJ2 Zukkoke Daiddasou". either that or a concert DVD. LOL.

they've had 3 singles since then, right? so maybe they'll have an album by the end of '09?

I wanted to post this yesterday but it completely slipped off my mind :dead2

but anyway I always see the terms SHOCK & Dreamboys being associated with Eito & also KAT-TUN

are both terms plays or something ? :shrug

^As far as I know, yes, but I'm no expert on that matter. I'm sure someone else can elaborate on it.

Isn't "SHOCK" Kouichis and wasn't "Dreamboys" Tackeys play?

And I want an K8 album, too. If I'd buy it, it would be my first K8 CD.

as far I know SHOCK's Koichi's play but not sure for Dreamboys

Irene , help ? :laugh

if they announced a new album , er , it will be their 3rd ?

SHOCK is Koichi Domoto's musical. he picks a kouhai to co-star with him. Ohkura did it last year. & Ryo's done it also. KAT-TUN were back-up dancers for SHOCK before they started being famous, since Koichi made them & all. they stopped SHOCK once they started getting famous & to do work on DREAMBOYS.

DREAMBOYS was once Takizawa Hideaki's musical/play about boxing, but now the lead is Kame. KAT-TUN & KANJANI8 used to work together A LOT (...which probably explains why they're the 2 JE groups i like most, LMAO). after Tackey left it, KT & K8 used to headline it together, but i'm assuming since both groups are really busy now, Kame headlines it by himself (Koki co-starred last year).

DREAMBOYS 2006 KAT-TUN vs. KANJANI8 DVD is one of the most interesting things i've ever watched, LOL. Yokoyama Yuu played a brilliant evil guy & Kame quit boxing to become a circus performer. xDD;;

but yeah, KT & K8 are heavily related to the 2 musicals since they've done work with both. more so with DREAMBOYS.

Thanks Irene I know I can count on you :laugh

:rofl the part where Kame's role quit boxing to become a circus performer is just :roflmao . Too bad he didn't do it for One Pound Gospel , that seriously will be very funny ;p

what's the concept for SHOCK like & are both plays still ongoing as of now ? :shrug

I'm assuming that both plays have been around for quite some time ? 4/5 years or even longer ?

^For Kouichi I'm sure, too, but not for "Dreamboys". Though I think Tackey at least HAD the lead role before.
And Kouichis play seem to be titled "Endless SHOCK" nowadays. I looked it up and it had several different names throughout its existance.

Here's an article on "Dreamboys" (DREAM BOY?). It's in Japanese, though, but one can see how the cast changed over the years.

Yeah, 3rd album. They've released 3 albums and one mini-album.
I seem to like K8 so much lately. ^^ That outweighs my K-T annoyance. =P

oh yeah I just realise that it's now titled Endless SHOCK instead of SHOCK so are both plays the same in terms of plot ?

LOL :laugh

that doesn't sound good , KT wise :dead2

i haven't watched "SHOCK", so i can't really say anything too specific about it. xD;;
the main title's "SHOCK", but it's undergone many numerous title changes, like "Endless SHOCK".

DREAM BOY was the original title since Tackey was lead, changed to DREAM BOYS (or DREAMBOYS) once KAT-TUN & KANJANI8 lead it, & now it's back to DREAM BOY now that Kame leads.

ok :)

ok I see now

so er when did Koichi & Tackey's plays 1st started ? I doubt it's like 10 years ago or something :dead2

& between both plays , both are still ongoing as of this year ?

i'm not sure, but Koichi performed SHOCK over 500 times. :O

DREAM BOY is going to resume in September. idk about the start date either. xD

EDIT;; ....oh wait, it's still called DREAM BOYS. LOL.
