What about the Tackey & Tsubasa thread? Do we use this thread to discuss about them, or their own thread? *confused*.

^ the reason why i put T&T here is because i forgot about the T&T thread when i made the sempai one. LOL.

but i suppose we can use both? if not, i can remove them here.

I guess that's the upside when I came on AHS cos I guess both threads were dead before I came along ?

& Kanashimi Blue's a classic KK song

put them on here Irene to keep the other senpai's company

because the sole T&T thread is dead now & I'm like the only 1 that keeps replying on there now

I think it depends on when you join the talent agency as well ?

i consider T&T sempais because they're such inspirations to today's Johnnys. like father-figures, even to Arashi. they've been around longer too (just the debut dates are 3 years apart).

Tackey was the person that revolutionized Johnny's Juniors and even made them quite famous. i even think Tackey as a Junior was more famous than Arashi when they just debut.

many Johnny's today are inspired by Tackey. KANJANI8, KAT-TUN, & YamaPi speak of him highly~

^ yeah & despite the image that he portrayed of being a blockhead & that he can't draw to save his life (just like Kame & Sakurai ) , he cares a great deal for the Jrs which's great & very giving

even KT sing praises to Tackey in that it's he that gave them the chance to hold the microphones to sing prior to their official debut

maybe Aga-chan will help us out. xD

You already found the answer. It's written as "senpai", but pronounced as "sempai" due the the "p". It applies to other words as well, like "shinbun" (newspaper) that is pronounced as "shimbun".
Either one should be fine. ^^

As for age, Nakai turned 36 sometime last year (when Ohno blew off the candles LOL). The other SMAP members should be around his age. You'll probably find their profiles on wiki. ^^

senpai is often seen romanized as "sempai" because it is pronounced that way (the Japanese "n" (ん) is pronounced as "m" when it comes before bilabials, such as "p")
....I'M GOING ON PRONUNICATION, OK.

^ LOL ok Irene

what're your opinions on The SHIGOTONIN - Kyoka Suigetsu ? it's quite old school of sorts & alamak I always thought that the CD only cover's the red sun until I saw YesAsia & double confirmed it on http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/artists/...higotonin.html in that it's not

LOL. yeah, the one with the guys on it the CD-only one.

as for the song, it's really laid back. i wish it were more oriental, but pretty decent song overall. and yeah, it's very old school JE, like, i can imagine this released in the 90s. xD

I WANT NEW TOKIO.
and yeah, i hope V6 gets a new album. seems like it's time for one.

what's up with Johnny's releasing single after single now with no album (I'M LOOKING AT YOU HEY! SAY! JUMP ).

prior to V6's last album , what singles they have been releasing that haven't make the cut in their future new album yet ?

& you don't say , I'm still waiting for HSJ's debut album
