I know poor Akanishi

& YAY for new thread

Ueda is the most mysterious member, but a total sadist

haha really ? that I couldn't tell , on the sadist bit

any eg.s that someone can provide to support this factor ?

EDIT - & for the record I don't mind to take Ueda since the other 5 are all taken

[Beauty4123]

what's a sadist, btw? is he like...sad most of the time or something? sorry to ask.

[ka♡ri.]

Think S&M. Y'know, the kinky sex?

S = Sadist, the one who likes to cause pain.
M = Masochist, the one who likes receiving pain.

So Ueda likes to see people squirm.

from http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sadist :

"someone who obtains pleasure from inflicting pain or others"

LOL , Ueda a Sadist ?! that's quite hard to imagine

[Beauty4123]

wow, that's something i never heard of before. so he's a bit of a meanie, basically? how...attractive?

[KarenPang]

well HEYx3's Downtown's Macchan is also considered a sadist too

maybe Ueda's a mini version of Macchan ? LOL

[Beauty4123]

[ll moments ll]

about Ueda as a sadist: it was the cartoon KAT-TUN episode w/ Takasugi Satomi (actually, it wasn't shown on the actual episode, but one of the specials). all of them took a psychology test where they had to draw on shapes & objects. and one of Ueda's pics revealed he was a S-type. i forgot the total story to it, but yeah.

Junno's the M-type. LOL.

Lisa - the scans are from this summer. but they're not the most recent (i think it's the July issue of Wink Up). i couldn't bear doing graphics w/ Kame's current look.

Karen - i just posted that CDTV list in the last thread (Post #460)? u even posted them on the Arashi & NEWS threads too!

ueda -

I only know that taguchi likes to be kicked around by tanaka in their show

didn't expect that from Ueda

& oh sorry I didn't realise the list was already posted I think I missed it in the previous thread

[ka♡ri.]

OK.
I know it's been posted before, but I don't care.
How can you not love Maru?! He's easily one of the best voices in KAT-TUN, but he only gets to shine with his short beat box sections! T_T

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=o8iWsEkhrWQ
Everyone who hasn't seen it, watch and fall in love with Maru.
If you've seen it, watch it over and over again!!!!

[KarenPang]

wow

I love SMACK man . The 1st time I heard it , I was really surprised , he got some pretty good vocals going on in him

Cos he seldom sings & tend to beat box a lot so that's a good chance for me to hear how he actually sounded like

SMACK's actually 1 of my fave solo songs on the DUES single

[ll moments ll]

i will say Maru has really improved vocally. either that or he's just getting more solo lines in songs because he was barely in their Junior songs. his solos are getting better & better too. none of his previous ones stood out, i don't even remember his Live Kaizokuban solo. o_o;;

LOL

I didn't like LOVEJUICE initally but I do admit it's growing on me super big time no thanks to my younger sister , she keeps playing it on her laptop til she drives me nuts

that also happened to 2 of ARASHI's songs too *annoyed*

[ll moments ll]

LOVEJUICE was a big surprise from me. i wasn't expecting a Western song at all, but after listening to it, i kinda laughed and went, "Oh Jin. You & your Western obsession "

though, i kinda wish he would go back to his more ~meaningful~ songs, like "care" or "ムラサキ". just once. and i'll be ecstatic.

[ka♡ri.]

^"care"!!!!! I love that song~

PARASITE took a while to grow on me. But I really love it now. I'm really obsessed with it.
