Oh, now I remember that I read about them. xD

Ninja is a cool name. Wonder what music they made.

So, is that guy who formed/established Johnny's Ent. still alive? His name is Johnny right? Lol.

[Aga-chan]

^Yes. He's in his late 70's and his full name is Johnny H. (Hiromu) Kitagawa.

He's still alive... o_O Wow... he must have really good health and all that...

I can imagine it being really stressful owning such a large entertainment company in Japan.

I wonder who will takeover his place when he dies... does he have any children?

I don't know because not much info has been disclosed to the public about him , he's an extremely private person .

There are very few photographs of Johnny in the public domain. Interviews are almost never granted and official management of the talent agency is in the hands of his sister.

& he will be turning 78 this coming Oct

He reminds me of that old man who managed Backstreet Boys and NSYNC, and other boybands in the US.

I forgot his name, but he was sued or something :/

SINGLES
x->1->1->1 - Kinki Kids - 42,094 + 24,824 + 10,376 (x1.75) = 135,265
x->2->2->2 - GReeeen - 11,008 + 11,000 + 5,014 (x1.75) = 47,289

[rookies]

I think I might buy the Ayumi single, although I don't think it would help their sales much. T__T

[ll moments ll]

I LOVE J-FRIENDS. omg, how could i forget. LOL. i like "Love Me All Over" or something like that...haha.

V6/KinKi/TOKIO =

[rookies]

I'm sure JE will last for a long time. ^^

[rookies]

I bought both editions of Yakusoku at the local HMV . There're 2 HMV shops in S'pore & the bigger one HMV Heeren is located in Orchard Road which's the shopping heart of my country .

HMV Heeren has 3 levels in which the 3rd level is dedicated to jpop/kpop/cpop/movies dvds & most of the latest jpop stuff are imported over here

it's lucky that the LE of Yakusoku doesn't have a DVD

[KarenPang]

The SHIGOTONIN @ MUSIC STATION yesterday with Talk - http://community.livejournal.com/tok...ime/98233.html

you have to join the community to download it

I hope the B-side Namida Karerumad will be good . If it's , I will consider to buy it once the CD only arrives here to be sold

[vampireknightzero]

Btw I've listened to Yume Hajime Hana, its really a nice song! I think I may love it more than Yakusoku~~

Oh wow, that's very nice to hear. So you are lucky that you can buy most of your jpop cd's close-by; must be convenient for you.

HMV Heeren has a whole level of asian stuff. o_O Very neat! ^^
