I'll be sure to post more often then. Show love for the Eito Rangers, which btw, is the most awesome thing ever :laugh

^actually I'm still new to K8.
so yoroshiku-ne~ :D


Lol!! can you handle it well?
so many JE groups at one time! :D

yeah, i'm surprised i can handle it. there's always something new everyday. :) and i love how different every group is. these boys are amazing at what they do~

EITO RANGERS~
i agree. it's one of the best things about KANJANI8. so much ~*member-ai*~ :D

Has anyone watched the short movie from their second album? I LOL'ed at Subaru's disco dance. Complete with bellbottoms and afro :laugh

^That thing was HILARIOUS! xD
I should re-watch. Because I wasn't so familiar with K8 the first time I watched it. ^^a

that video was the biggest LOLZ-fest ever. omg. :laugh

they're definitely one of the funniest acts in JE. i :heart them.

PV PREVIEW! PV PREVIEW!

at first, i was like, "Oh! what a cute, adorable PV!"
but then, i saw it a 2nd time. & YOKOYAMA WAS ON FIRE!! :laugh
oh boys. :heart

i love you, K8! :D

^It's really an adorable PV by K8!!! so funny~
can't wait to watch the full PV!!!!

Thanks for the PV preview. ^^ Looks cute so far. =3

The set reminds me of "Happiness" PV.

The full PV is out now ^^

so cute xD

@aga-chan- yay i thought of happiness too :yes

here it is at youtube!

http://mx.youtube.com/watch?v=8LYPYa5G7Y4

very funny PV, and it's a very cool song!

thanks for the YouTube clip! :D

yeah, i thought of "Happiness" as well. haha.

Thanks for the youtube link! <3

The PV's cute, I really like it. ^^

THE PV IS SO KANJANI8. (wa)haha! i love it. it's nice to JE put a budget for their PVs now. Naniwa Iroha Bushi's PV was just so. cheap. lol.

Yokoyama's been looking attractive lately. i've been crushing on him since Yuukan Club. :heart :3

of course, Ohkura & Ryo are looking pretty too.

Short-haired Subaru makes me sad :(

^I think Subaru looks younger with short-hair. Neat and clean.

The PV's so funny and cute!! I was really laughing throughout
the PV!! Wahaha~ Ohkura and Ryo are sooo pretty!!! =)

he looks so young with the haircut! :O but i prefer long-hair Baru-chan.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...4/k8wahaha.jpg

i love this PV. a lot. :laugh
i like how Maruyama has one expression while he's falling, lol.
& BUMBLEBEE YASSU. :heart

I prefer Subaru with long hair too :heart

I agree! ^^ I liked Yoko before, too, but I think he looks sooo good when his hair is a little longer (like Seishirou's hair). <3

And, yeah, Shibutani does look younger with short hair. But both hairstyles suit him.

i never really paid attention to Yoko until YC. haha. but, he's a really cool guy & he's definitely one of my favorites in Eito now! along with Ohkura-chan, Ryo, & Maruyama.

CALENDAR PREVIEW!

i knew the news clip was missing a calendar preview! & it was eito! i really like the pictures.

& kinda random but MARUYAMA-KUN, PLZ CUT YOUR HAIR. :laugh

Hey everyone, I've just listened to the Wahaha single and I like what I hear. But I've been unable to find Dare Yori Kimi ga Suki Dakara!!! Has it leaked yet? If so, can someone upload it to youtube / imeem or something?! Cause I'm writing a review and wanna do the whole single!

i'm glad you liked it! :)

here's the b-side:
Dare Yori Kimi ga Suki Dakara

http://amaiwana.wordpress.com/

Just scroll down or click on their name on the right

P.S. Thanks moments for your help!

woot i love the new single! ^^
im starting to like K8 a lot more :)

WHY has this thread died??? I've finally decided to persue K8! and you guys aren't on here anymore! come on! we gotta keep the JE threads alive!

K8 gets no love, i swear. they're pretty much the definition of awesome in my book. :laugh

i think. i am in love in Yokoyama Yu. :heart
i love him & Tacchon the most, but i love all of them. hehe.

ok. what's everyone's favorite song(s)? or did i ask this already? XD
mines are Naniwa Iroha Bushi, Eden, Sukiyanen Osaka, & ZUKKOKE OTOKOMICHI.

i also like Misetekure, DO YOU AGREE?, & some solos. like Yoko's Fantastic Music & WONDER BOY (:laugh). Tacchon's Mamoritai is really good also!

I haven't heard even one K8 song yet! >.< (unless you count Ryo's solo "Ai Igai wa Nandemo Nai" lol)

if your new to K8 i recommend checking out there new "47" dvd ^^
i just did last weekend and it was awesome! =)

Osaka Rainy Blues is my fav K8 song at the moment ^^

Zukkoke Otokomichi is my fave K8 song :D

^ ahhh yay i love that song ^^
the pv is really cute too =)

^ sure, here you are =D

Osaka Rainy Blues

Heavenly Psycho

Zukkoke Otokomichi

Heavenly Psycho is another personal fav...i think you'll like it ^^

upping the Wahaha single now! ^^

EDIT :

Wahaha

誰よりキミが好きだから

BJ

OMGYES.

"47" has to be one of my favorite JE concerts! :luv2 i love the Neoki parts where Yoko & Baru wake everyone up to put on their Eito Rangers costumes. LOL.

"Eden" was just amazing too. :D

yay, after watching the dvd, i definitely consider myself a fan of K8 ^^

lol that part was so funny! xD
i really want to know what they were saying during the whole eito ranger skit but i can't find any subs =x

they looked super cute and funny though =D

yeah, i wish there were subs for that too! :eyes
i hope someone will sub them soon.

"47" really, really made me love K8 too. they're amazing live!

yay i think the people on BNS are subbing the whole DVD ^^

yay i totally agree! ^^
i love when they grab there instruments and start playing =)
the whole feel of the concert just turns completely different =D
like...from a typical JE concert to a rock gig ^^

I WANNA SEE IT!!! >.<

They all have summer tour this year, I hope they'll do a summer tour next year too... I want to see them so badly T.T

kanjani8 and KAT-TUN make tour this summer.
i hope arashi and news will make live tour later

I'm praying for NEWS, I want to see them the most XD
But I'll be happy if that's Kanjani8, KAT-TUN or ARASHI aswell =3

i would love to see any JE group live ^^

i found this super cute clip from the "47" dvd of them celebrating Subaru's b-day ^^
Subaru's birthday

it really put a smile on my face :)

Arashi has DOME TOUR, don't they? man, i'd do anything to see a Johnny's concert, especially at a dome!

i like how K8 starts at Tokyo Dome & KAT-TUN ends at Tokyo Dome. XD

awww, that birthday clip was so cute! :)

i loved when Yoko gave that fan a bite of the cake after Subaru stuck his face on it ^^

yay if i were to see a JE concert i would love for it to be at Tokyo Dome =)

K8 was more enka in the beginning. if you YouTube "Naniwa Iroha Bushi" it's very traditional japanese sounding, but it was still on the pop side. :)

they're doing more crack!cocaine!pop right now, since it's what made them very popular.

yeah, they're not hot by JE standards, but they are so loveable! so much member-ai and i think their personalities really stand out! they're like Tackey & Tsubasa, but. with 8 members, LOL!

i love Ohkura, Yoko, Ryo, & Maruyama. :heart
& Subaru has an amazing voice!

i kinda miss their old sound, since i thought that was very unique. but i'm not complaining about the pop music though. it always makes me laugh whenever i listen to it. :)

Kanjani8 fans UNITE!
 

xD

I need your help right here: Xiah Junsu (DBSK) vs. Ryo Nishikido (NEWS-Kanjani8) take the poll and comment! :D

^ done. ;)

SEXY OSAKA MAN FTW!!

I'm not attracted to Ryo at all :/

^ I guess people don't really listen to K8 as opposed to the other JE groups :(

i think it's because not a lot of people know about them. K8 has always been the "left out" JE group, imo. either that or they can't handle all the member-ai, ghei, sparkles, & crotch grabbing. LMAO.

& most people associate Ryo w/ NEWS anyway. :( which is sad because Ryo was an Eighter first!

Best. Clip. Ever. It makes me lol everytime I see it XD

Click me (Sorry, I don't know how to embed it :()

K8 was formed before NEWS (all 8 of them have known each other since the dawn of time). that's why if you heard of Ryo being a bitter bear during NEWS' debut period, it was because he was so sure that he was gonna debut with K8.

but, all is well since K8 got to debut too. hehe.

yeah, i don't find any of them drop dead gorgeous, but i'm such a sap for great personalities and a super inspiring story. K8's story has got to be the most heart-wretching story. from performing to like, 200 people to Tokyo Dome.

ILU EITO! :heart

K8 is better imo, they are not like regular boybands that only look pretty or dance 24/7 they make great funny shows! :P

So eventhough K8 was first NewS got more popular? was it because of yamapi?

Well to be honest I dunno much NewS I met k8 first and time later I found out about NewS, I enjoy their music still I prefer eito :P

K8 & Arashi definitely have the funniest tv shows for sure ^^
i adore K8 =D there my 2nd favorite JE group after Arashi :)
I really like NEWS too...but K8's music and members appeal more too me ^^

NEWS made their debut in 2003, while K8 had their debut in 2004. JE made NEWS' debut bigger than K8's debut as well. K8 had like no budget whatsoever. :( they had all their focus on NEWS and KAT-TUN was really gaining momentum as Johnny's Juniors leaders too.

i prefer Eito > NEWS too (at times i tie them w/ my babies, KAT-TUN. i absolutely love when they collaborate). they've worked SO HARD to get in the place they are now. as much as i love NEWS, they have really boring personalities, sorry! these boys know how to put a smile (or a full blown LOL) on my face. :heart

interesting!... I can't stang yamapi I think his fake >_< and he has only one face! >_<.

anyway yah k8 has worked hard! and I'm happy for them as well... they and perfume are gettin pretty popular! they deserve it!

LOL. yeah, like I said in the NEWS thread, i'm becoming less and less of a YamaPi fan (i used to LOVE him). i agree, he does have "one face."

i'm so glad about their success! i believe they have the yearly number 1 DVD (their amazing "47" concert) right now! GO GO EITO! :heart i love Perfume also. GAME was amazingggggg.

i just wanna wish my precious Yu Yokoyama-kun a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :D

he's 27. wow. he still looks great for his age!

:o! Happyn birthday!! favorite eito beside ryo xD

yep, they have the highest selling DVD this year (so far). :yes i definitely, definitely recommend it. 47 = TOUR 2007 cartoon KAT-TUN II You (my favorite K-T con), imo

Yokoyama got ridiculously hot during/after Yuukan Club. he's so good at playing those types of characters (the smart, manipulative ones)!

Yoko's one of my favorites too. Tacchon, Yoko, Ryo, & Maruyama are my favorites.

^Oh. My. Goodness. Seishirou is AWESOME. Yoko's role in YC made me like him even more. I was like "Wow~" when I heard him speak as Seishirou.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Yoko and Yama-chan!!! :heart ^^

im a little late xD

Happy 27th b-day Yoko!! ^^

yay the 47 dvd is amazing...i love it :)

i think they really blend a musical/dorky aspect to their concerts! K8's the only other group other than TOKIO that plays instruments. (i think K8's the modern TOKIO, actually.) so you really get a sense of true music in their concerts too.

one of the reasons why i love Tacchon is because he plays drums. :heart

^ I like that too, the opening or medley the do at HEAT UP! is pretty cool!

omigosh this is hilarious! somebody on the Johnny's facebook group posted this and it is so awesome!
http://www.veoh.com/videos/v2228569cK7kt6QN

^ LOL! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT CLIP! :laugh

i thought it was cute that he played "Konayuki" for her though. :)

^ they were both Nino fangirls on AnS but the skinny one was the one that actually got to go on the date w/ Nino... and then he threw her onto the floor lol

^ OMGLOL, really? *finds clip*

i kinda felt bad for her. but Ryo got so drunk, it was so cute! XD

That's really funny! xD "CYCLE∞", nice one! xD

that picture is by Leslie Kee the same guy that photographs ayu! I wonder if there are more...

I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT PICTURE BEFORE.
LESLIE KEE TOO? i love it. :heart

i love their latest concert phamplet. i want one. :eyes

i really like their mini-album, "Kansha ni Eight". i need to buy it.

Eden = :heart

i like "KJ1 F.T.O" & "KJ2 Zukkoke Daidassou" as well. LOL. i reaaaallllyyyy like the 2nd disc of Zukkoke Daidassou with the member solos. Mamoritai is LOVE.

SHEEZUS. & i've been here longer than you! LOL.

hmmm. i actually want to listen to some K8 now. :laugh
you should just listen to the albums in order of release Kaori. i love some songs from all of them. :)

then watch "47". LOL.

Ohkura Tadayoshi's been casted in "Yasuko to Kenji" for the Summer J-Drama Season!!

SOURCE | YOUTUBE

the series also stars TOKIO's Matsuoka Masahiro, Hirosue Ryoko, & Tabe Mikako (from Yamada Taro Monogatari)! i kinda want K8 to have the theme, but i'm pretty sure TOKIO will get it. :P

i'm glad Tacchon's getting drama work! :)

well, only Ryo, Ohkura, & Yokoyama have been in recent drama series. they've been in Kansai-based dramas, but not in nationwide ones. they haven't been in much. :\

i think Ryo's the only one who has important and/or lead roles too. Ohkura & Yokoyama have been supporting roles (Ohkura was supporting actor in Utahime w/ Nagase Tomoya, & Yoko-chan in Yuukan Club).

Yokoyama's a really good actor, i hope he does more dramas too! ^^

...i can't see that, LOL.

RYOKURA IS VIOLENT LOVE

I NEED THIS PIC IN HQ. :laugh

THIS THREAD NEEDS SOME REVIVING. :weep
K8's my 2nd favorite group. no where else are you going to get Ryo dressed up as a girl.

RYOKURA is my new JE OTP. i still need to see "TORN" (Tadayoshi Ohkura Ryo Nishikido) live. cuz i heard things happened. :laugh

nice to know people clicked on my sig, hehe. THE PICTURE IS SO YUMMY. *fans self*

i have all their albums on another computer. if you still need them, i'll PM them to you later, Kaori. :) OHHH WAIT, i have "Kansha ni Eight" on my laptop. i'll upload it.

yup, it's from the phamplet. no scans yet, just pictures. it looks huge, but i hope scans come soon.

EDIT: k, nvm. XD

Subaru & Okura are having solo concerts! ^^
http://community.livejournal.com/kanjani8/1674869.html

i'd looove to go to Subaru's :luv2
