[Beauty4123]

i miss the sexy profile pics, LOL. but the thread's lookin' good, irene

[ll moments ll]

sorry, it's a product of my laziness. xD

but maybe down the road, i'll make them.

[KarenPang]

woo hoo yay to the new thread , like about damn time man for a new one

& let me see Irene created the very 1st thread on here on .... last Nov on the 17th :O

just 8 days shy of the 1st thread's 1st anniversary (9 days for you guys since it's already Sun here at my end)

so erm I have a question reg the Kanfuu Fighting single . I remember reading it somewhere that it has like what 8 editions & the cover's basically the same for all ?

what's that all about :O

[♥ you!]

^ yeah Karen all 8 covers are the same.
Here's a pic of them together.
http://cgi.ebay.com/KANJANI8-Kanfu-F...3A1|240%3A1318

I wish the covers were different too..at least with SMAP's 12 edition best album the covers each had a different color

I miss UCHI. Why can't they just tell us if he's coming back or not, don't leave us hanging

is that like a good luck charm thingy on the left side of all the Kanfuu Fighting singles ?

I saw 1 copy of it left in the local HMV & it has the orange strip thing , erm whatever that's

Uchi - it's unfortunate that he got busted for underage drinking , even my younger sister missed him with regards to NEWS as she supports NEWS

[ll moments ll]

^ it's a wrist bracelet, or something like that.
the LE covers are metallic or shiny? too, i believe. while the Normal Edition is PINK UCHI PINK. xD

i miss the ~DRUNK DIVAS~ in general. :[
Uchi was attached to Ryo's hip and Kusano had a really nice voice.

[Beauty4123]

wow, the guys really love obama in the musekinin hero scan in the first post the change and yes we can! lines, lol. i just noticed that

LE cover - erm I never took notice whether is it metallic/shiny when I was at HMV the other day , oops

How old was Uchi when he got busted for underage drinking ? 18 ?

it's sad that something like this had to happen to him & how old he's now ?

[ll moments ll]

haha yeah, K8 is pro-Obama!

it's nice to know they're interested in politics.
and the single came out just in time for the election!

*Irene is a politics nerd*

EDIT;; & Karen, Uchi is currently 22. he got busted in summer 2005, so he was 18/19 at the time, i think.

[Aga-chan]

^For one of them, either Uchi or Kusano, it was shortly before his 20th birthday, wasn't it?

Yay, for the 2nd Kanjani8 thread! Hope it won't take another year for the 3rd... ^_-v

[KarenPang]

@ Irene - thanks for the info &

LOL

well I wasn't around when the 1st thread was started & it took under a year to hit 500 posts

Since I'm around now maybe the 3rd thread will take a much shorter time to hit 500 posts then haha

^ i was waiting for someone to comment on that. xD

yeah, i think it was Kusano that got busted a wee bit before his 20th birthday. D:
HE WAS SO CLOSE.

yeah, i hope this thread moves faster than the last one.
EITO NEEDS MORE LOVE.

aw , poor Kusano

umm Irene , why are K8 also known as Eito in this case ? I have seen people in the K8 LJ community calling K8 that nickname

[ll moments ll]

Eito = Eight.

xD

that's so ... erm simple

I guess the K8 fans still consider Uchi to be part of the group eh ?

[ll moments ll]

well, of course, there's pro-Uchi & anti-Uchi K8 fans, just like in the NEWS fandom how people are divided between 8-man NEWS & 6-man NEWS. i think a majority of people who got into NEWS/K8 before the whole scandal want him back, while those who got into them after the scandal don't really care for him (or Kusano).

but i think with KANJANI8, a lot of people are rooting for Uchi to come back because Uchi is very huge part of K8 and has more history with them. and not to mention the current line-up still supports Uchi with subtle messages of pink~ everywhere.

i'm very pro-Uchi since i got into the JE fandom before everything happened, lol. xD i still remember Uchi & Kusano on Utaban with NEWS promoting "TEPPEN".

[KarenPang]

2nd week sales of Musekinin Hero - no.7 , 21,723 copies

total sales so far - 369,458*

YAY

now I'm deciding if I want to get both Limited Editions singles online or not T_____T

[ll moments ll]

GET THEM KAREN!! :3
idk if K8 has overseas versions, since i've never seen them on YesAsia, so i don't know if the Japanese LEs will be there for long.

i hope we get an album soon!
