^ ahh yea i've heard To Heart is good! ^^

thanks, i'll check those out ;)

...i need to watch some KinKi Kids dramas. the only one i watched was "Sushi Oji" :)

anyone know some good Tackey dramas? i loved "Majo no Jouken"!

awww! :( at least there's YouTube & stuff, lol.

you don't have to listen to their music to appreciate the senpai awesomeness. i hardly listen to SMAP because. i think. they sound bad. LOL. don't hit me, plz. :laugh but i love them as TV personalities! Nakai bullying Ohno is gold. and i like it when Western celebrities go on SMAPxSMAP (like the Backstreet Boys! LOL!)

but i do like some SMAP songs, but i don't like their music as much as. KinKi Kids or even some of the newer groups.

^I don't really listen to SMAP songs except Lion Heart?
I guess that was the only SMAP song that I like very much.

Of all the Tackey Dramas Majo no Joken is the best. I've seen a lot like S.O.S., Boku dake no Madonna and Taiyou no Kisetsu and none of them come close to Majo no Joken, it's the opposite. Even though I love Tackey these dramas are very boring. If you have to watch one I would recommend TnK. S.O.S. and BDnM just annoyed me and dragged on. *sigh* I hope Tackey would make another hit drama like MnJ but it doesn't seem so.

For Kinki Kids I recommend Summer Snow. It has Tsuyoshi as male lead and Tsubasa! And if you like Oguri Shun he's there as well. Another Kinki Drama with Tsuyoshi and Koichi is Ningen Shikkaku. It's a bit older but the first episode just came out with english subs. Don't know where it's going but it sure seems interesting.

^ oh wow, thank you for your insight! i really appreciate it! :)
i saw a little bit of SOS and i thought it was interesting. but, i think i'll check out TnK first.

yeah, i've been meaning to watch Summer Snow too. :laugh

NEW RELEASE:
SMAP's new single is now a double A-side [そのまま/White Message]
2008.03.05 RELEASE
CDJapan

jen-chan: i like "Lion Heart" too! i think i prefer TOKIO's version on TOK10 album more though. haha. i also like "Yozora no Mukou." it was written by Suga Shikao-san. he wrote KAT-TUN's "Real Face".

Tsuyoshi Domoto is releasing a new single and album! ^^

Cdjapan

thanks for the info of the SMAP single ^^

oh and TOKIO's new song, Sugar, is awesome! =)

yay! i can't wait for it! :)

i heard BONNIE PINK is going to participate in a song on the album! i hope she does some vocals or something in a song.

^ oh really? that should be cool :)

i've only heard her new single and it was really good ^^

...she has a new single out? i didn't know. haha.

SMAP - Sono Mama / White Message
COVER

so plain. LOL.

so, i was looking at the translation for TOKIO's song "sugar" and one part looks like it was about Ayu (though, it's mostly penned towards their fans!). Nagase did write the lyrics though. translation over @ to_ki_o. i don't think it's a locked post, so i think everyone can see it.

^I was expecting a photo, but the cover's... just writing? But the message's cute. ^^

Thanks for the TOKIO lyrics. I agree that one part specially seems as if it's about ayu...

By the way, concerning KinKi Kids: Do they have other songs in the style of "Bonnie Butterfly"?

i love "Bonnie Butterfly!" :heart

it's kinda unique, one-of-a-kind song. i don't think they have a similar song to it. ^^;; though, it's one of their more "theatrical" songs. i would try out LOVESICK, Jounetsu, 99%LIBERTY, Biroodo no Yami, and/or Rival.

@irene-chan - yup she does :) It's the theme for Oguri Shun's Binbo Danshi drama and the song is called monochrome ^^

thanks for the covers ^^
SMAP usually don't have very exciting covers do they? xD

Anniversary is another really awesome KinKi Kids song to check out :yes

^ OH. haha, i think you're thinking of BENNIE K, not BONNIE PINK. (i love Monochrome, btw. hehe.)

yeah, SMAP has rather. plain covers. i liked Dangan Fighter's cover. it actually had the guys on it. XD

Anniversary = :heart. i love "Ai no Katamari" too.

^ lol yup your right =) wrong artist xD

yay Ai no Katamari seems really popular ^^

^yup Ai no Katamari is really popular! I like it very much too!! =)
And also, Giniro Angou!


yayy!! I knew it!! once he changes his solo name, that means
there gonna be something new coming up! thanks for the info!
can't wait for them!! :D

Many thanks to everyone for the KinKi Kids recommendations! <3 Gotta listen to them sometime. ^^

OMGOMG.
TOKIO's Yamaguchi Tatsuya announced his marriage today! he's also expecting a child over the summer! HOW CUTE! :heart
SANSPO

CONGRATULATIONS GUSSAN!

he's one of the few active Johnny's to get married following SMAP's Kimura Takuya to Kudo Shizuka and V6's Inohara Yoshihiko to Seto Asaka. :)

^congrats yamaguchi!!!
who's his wife by the way? she's not a celebrity?

ahh cool! congrats to Yamaguchi!

@summersnow - i heard she used to be a model :)

^I see.. I heard that they've dated for 8 years. That's really very sweet!! =)

i wonder how he kept their relationship so low-key. it's really amazing! but i guess he was dating someone that isn't in the entertainment business anymore. unlike Nagase with Ayu or Taichi with aiko.

Yamaguchi's hoping for a son, lol. so he can go camping & stuff with him. so cute! :heart

^really? such a sweet father! =)
Ohh so Taichi is still with aiko?

no. sadly, Taichi & aiko broke up. :( they were together for a long time too. i think it was 6 years.

^eh? that was really sad! such a pity! =(

Tsuyo-pon's new PV for "Help me Help me..." was released today!

244 ENDLI-x - Help me Help me...
YouTube link.

i really like it! Tsuyoshi's so different from all the other Johnny's. i think that's so cool. :)

^Tsuyo rocks!! This PV is so different from his previous project
ENDLICHERI ENDLICHERI. No weird drawings on his face, no
weird purple costumes, no weird hairstyle. I like it very much!!

thanks for the link =)

wow the pv was super...really a good song ^^

yay i agree summersnow, i didn't really care for the purple...ever xD

^yup he doesn't really look good in that purple outfit! XD

LOL! i don't care much for purple either.

you're welcome! :D
i like Koichi's solo stuff too. i hope it's good.

i recently got TOKIO's sugar mini-album & KinKi Kids' 39 compilation album. i really like 39's packaging and the booklets. :) i posted my whole collection in the Asian Collection thread, but i think you can barely see them, LOL.

i hope KinKi Kids release something, but it looks like they're doing solo stuff first.

^thanks for the info for koichi's new single!
I hope KinKi Kids would release a photobook! They should do that
since it was their 10th anniversary last year!
Yup I like their 39 complication album's packaging! It's really worth
for collection and I'm glad that I bought it! =)

it must be hard to date when you have crazy fangirls, ne? if i were to date a Johnny, i would get some top security. :laugh

Tsuyoshi's a very unique Johnny, isn't he? he does a lot of "out of the JE-norm" type music. i really like that he does he own way of music.

AH! I WOULD LOVE A KINKI KIDS PHOTOBOOK. :heart i would get it. haha.

Yup I love how Tsuyoshi has his own unique style in making his own music! He's really a very talented guy and he has a good voice too!

i can't wait for his new solo stuff to come out! i heard a radio rip of "Kurikaesu Haru" & i liked it a lot. :)

i love 244ENDLI-x's new album & single! i like the techno/funk thing Tsuyoshi's doing right now. I love "Say Anything!"

anyway, i was here to post this:

oo i will! i think i heard a song by kinki kids, but just can't remember the name, do they have a best of album?

^They released two Single Collections and one Best of called "39" (read "sankyu" which sounds like "Thank you") as far as I know.

^oh i see! i'll get those first before checking out other albums~

Ai no Katamari is my favorite KK song.
and Shunrai, Kanashimi Blue, Anniversary, Jounetsu, Bonnie Butterfly, etc.

but i recommend their whole discography, LMAO. but i'd start off with "39". it's an amzing compilation album!

OMG, I'm in LOVE with SHOW ME. I should buy this single if I see it at Japan Town

yeah, i don't know why i didn't get into V6 earlier. :laugh i really like their music now! i guess it could be because they're not as promoted like the younger groups.

it's a shame cuz i LOVE the senpai groups. they're pretty awesome. :heart

anyone want to recommend me a V6 album? i've only heard singles here & there, lol.

finally tsuyoshi gonna has new drama!!! 4.4years!!

Another really good KinKi Kid's drama is Bokura no Yuuki, Miman City

http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Bokura_no_...Miman_Toshi%7E

SHIINA RINGO??!?!?!?!?!?! OMFG.

yes! it's about damn time TOKIO got a new single. & it looks like they're going to switch over to J-Storm so JE has more control over their releases than Universal Music. :) I HOPE THIS MEANS BETTER ARTWORK FOR THEIR STUFF!
now, what about KinKi Kids? LOL.

BTW, avex trax released V6's "VIBES" covers: http://www.avexnet.or.jp/v6/index.html
omg, it's like a mini-album! :D and i love the artwork. T&T & V6 always gets nice covers and packaging! (because they're w/ avex, LOL)

I hope this single rocks as much!

I wonder why the single is called VIBES....hmm....

V6

XD

Anyone care these days XD
New V6 Video!
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x64...ibration_music

^ whoa i didn't know they even had a new single coming out xD
thank you :)

^ yay i was just looking at it on cdjapan ^^

i like the song :)

oh, i thought it was a DVD single type of thing.
and omg, i thought Ken Miyake was Eita. i was like, "EITA'S IN THIS PV?!?! 8D ...wait." :laugh

the PV was cool though. i liked it!
& oh, i couldn't add a V6 tag to the thread because it's too short! :(

BRING ON TOKIO'S NEW SONG. i want it so bad. D:

^ yeah, it keeps getting announced as a DVD single...whatever, lots of songs :)
And this new one is great!!

okay so I just watched Yan Papa with Nagase and I love him, I didn't want that drama to end :weep. Yamaguchi from Tokio was also great in That's Cunning! Shijou Saidai no Sakusen?.

so like I'm in love with Tokio right now which leads me to my next question, is this a Tokio song being played at the start of this video?
http://www.crunchyroll.com/media-226...ie-Part-1.html

^ it really sounds like it's TOKIO. but i have no clue what song! @_@ i'm not really familiar with their early stuff, other than "LOVE YOU ONLY". XD

NEW KINKI KIDS SINGLE, YAAAAAAY!
TO BE RELEASED 27th AUG 2008.

i've been waiting forever for a KinKi single. it's been awhile since "Eien ni". :) i can't wait to hear "Secret Code". it sounds mysterious.

I WANT TOKIO SINGLE DETAILS ALSO. haha.

^ "39" is the essential KinKi Kids compilation album. it's one of my favorite JE purchases, ever. i'm so glad i got it! :D

i'm planning on re-vamping the first page, LOL. i updated the latest releases! :)
