Tego & Pi

I watched Yamanade and Code Blue just now. But wow, totally 2 different feelings. Which is obvious anyway.

Kame is acting, but still, not really impressive. Probably "Kyouhei" is really an aggressive character. Or probably Yamanade is really too exaggerating. Well. But I love Tego! *laughs* To be frank, I can't help but take notice of Uchi, and no matter how hard I try, I'm still not liking him. Not hating, but can't get to like him. Well. Let's see how it goes.

Yuki no Jo is cute!!! The end.

Code Blue 3. Not a subbed version, but thanks to my 2 yrs+ of learning Japanese, and watching experiences of dramas, I could barely understand the easy terms. *laughs* Alright spoilers ahead!

*spoilers*
Firstly, Aizawa was questioning about the mystery guy, and the death of his mom. To my expectations, that guy was indeed related to Aizawa, which is his father. But not much of a surprise since I've guessed it already.

Then the doctors got a call for helicopter, and it was an accident in the railway station which has 22 injuries. Or more than that. Either 20 or 40, can't remember the number suddenly. But I remember 22 if I'm not wrong. Then they set off with many doctors. One funny scene which I was really amused was, the doctor from the heart/head department didn't know how to take off the safety belt of the helicopter. So the helicopter arrived, and the nurses ran out, then you see someone struggling. *laughs*

Then very much expected, or I think it was Tachibana who asked Aizawa to follow him.. They went ahead to help 3 persons who got "skewered" together by a ski. On a staircase by the way. Mitsui, Tachibana, Aizawa, Head/Heart department doctor. 4 doctors. Hiyama was with a case, but not much of details taken note of because I can't exactly understand Japanese medical terms. As for Shiraishi there were some moments I remembered very hard, but shall describe after the ski case.

The man at the top, (who was Tsuru in Prodai by the way) was dating the girl who was at the bottom. There was a man between them, whom the girl really loves. So Tsuru only got to know it at that moment. Then the man in the middle was showing signs and they had to do some operations on him to save his life.

And from what I think I understood and guess, the ski went through the main arteries of Tsuru, but he was currently in no danger because the ski was stopping his blood. But if they move him or anything, he most probably will die. Then the thing is, because of this, they will set the priority on the man and the girl, and Tsuru has to sacrifice his life to save his friends. Then they moved him up, and they cut up the ski and saved the other 2 person. What's so touching and saddening was until the end, Tsuru didn't get his love returned, and Aizawa was trying to save him till the end, until Tachibana stopped him. Aizawa even asked Tsuru to talk again. On the helicopter, I think Tachibana said Tsuru was incredible, because he saved the person he loved. On the other hand, it was Aizawa who actually suggested the idea, and he was the one who told Tsuru about everything. I find that very very brave. And. I admire him. This character. You could understand how hard they have to come up with the decision, and to inform Tsuru, but Aizawa went ahead, and braced himself through it. And if I'm not wrong during the ending he also said something like I'm responsible for it or something.

Anyway, jumped to Shiraishi for a while. The patient she saved had something unexpected, probably more blood loss than she expected. And she had to do heart massage for the patient. However she could only do until there, and the patient eventually will die. She got the parents over to her side, and told them that she once she stops the heart massage the patient will die. And the parents were like, you can stop now. But of course they couldn't really forgive her. "Anta, akuma?" The mother asked.

And finally that's all.
*spoilers*

End of spoilers and off to preview for the next episode!! In this case, probably considered spoilers again right? Well, the grandma said Pi's mother did not die of suicide. It was a murder. Something like that. The theme of the next episode is probably "the past". It was about people can never run away from their past.

So the end.

By the way, I think I cried enough. It was almost like the amount for Budou no Ki. Let me recall the dramas that have made me cried a ton. "Budou no Ki", "Byakkotai", "Shounen wa Tori ni Natta". The end. I think if I watch 1 litre of tears I'll cry very much too. Alright then. Shall end.

Fangirl (Code Blue Season 2 Episode 2)

Well, I was supposed to fangirl episode 1 as well. But never mind since I've just finished episode 2~ Anyway, Code Blue is indeed an emo drama, but ironically full of fangirling potential as well. *laughs*

Let's start with the fangirling! Then I'll sum up with the emo thoughts and how I think it's different from Season 1.

Oh my oh my~ I don't care how everyone thinks about Pi's hair! I love the hair! *laughs* He combed his parting another way! And I seriously love the op and ed because he had beautiful shots!! I can't exactly.. OH YES! My goodness~ He was 101% coolness in episode 1 alright!! There was a scene of him doing CPR on the kid, and it was in a moving vehicle (the ambulance). He placed his hand onto the car door to support himself, while using his right hand to continue on the CPR. Oh my~ That scene was HOT. Sorry because I know that's supposed to be a critical scene and scenario BUT!!!!! HE WAS HOT. HOT HOT HOT. ARGH~! Let's not care about other scenes in episode 1 because I a little lazy to think of it. But anyway he IS ALWAYS HOT and I love that scene from episode 1!

From episode 2, during one moment Hiyama's patient fainted and she shouted "dareka kite!", Aizawa shove off the curtain and looked. That was one one one fangirl scene alright! I saw it on KHTV and I fangirled once. Then when I watched the subbed just now I repeated that scene for a few times!! And just before that he was healing Fujikawa's injury where he deliberately pushed the cotton onto his wound. I find that super cute and anyway, even though it was all planned in the script, I can't help finding it cute and I'm sure they had some fun during that scene~

And I can't help flail at how Aizawa said "omae nara, dekiru" to Fujikawa! Oh well, after that I found out they all used "omae", but at first I was really thrilled to find them using "omae", or rather, Aizawa using it on others~! And sorry, but I love how they informed the in-the-middle-of-operation-Aizawa-Sensei about his phone call. Then how he pep-talked (is that the correct word?) Fujikawa to do his operation-on-site properly. And yes! When he first got the call and was told about the situation, immediately he made arrangements and wow!!! I love Aizawa~!

Actually I can't remember the rest of the fangirling factors, but there's this which I've specially watched again just to confirm what he had said. "Kousaku da yo~" he said. AHHHHHHHH~

Alright! What do you think will be waiting for him in the next episode?! When I watched the preview I was already excited for the next episode because I (stupidly) thought it was a triage. In the end seems not. *laughs* But then! Definitely something very very major because I saw many doctors over at the site! Mitsui and Tachibana and Aizawa already on site, plus the doctor wearing black from the heart department~ I bet it must be something so so so cool. In fact, Shiraishi was there in the end so I believe they sent many doctors over to the site!! EXCITING!! And then, regarding the suspending ending of episode 2 and some scenes from episode 3, probably Aizawa did something when he was young that led to his mother's death. On the other hand, who is that mystery visitor? Yamada Ichirou. I wonder if he has any link to Aizawa or the mother's death, since it was brought up since episode 1, Aizawa's mother's death I mean. I can't exactly remember and make out the scenes in the preview but I guess it's something to do with staircases or escalators and something must have went through the patient's heart. Probably puncture? That's why there were so many doctors on site. Probably Aizawa did the same thing and caused his mother to die of that. He was taking the monorail with Shiraishi back to the hospital! But Shiraishi seemed to be very depressed and on the verge of crying! Just what has happened? Did Shiraishi make another wrong judgement that cost a life? Is Aizawa going to console her yet again? What was going through Aizawa's mind and did he manage to perform well on site? Just by thinking about all these makes me all hyped up!!

The catching factors of Season 2:
  • Aizawa's Grandmother
  • Aizawa's mother's death
  • Aizawa's development
  • Hiyama's condition
  • Fujikawa's development
  • Shiraishi's development

Mostly on Aizawa I agree, but anyway he IS the main character too. Well, I don't mind too~ *laughs* But also, I think it's Hiyama's condition that makes me want to watch too. I sort of ranked the factors subconsciously~ Before I forgot, the scene when Aizawa talked to Fujikawa, telling to remember just the lives they have lost, was just heaven. *laughs* The way he talked, the way he portrayed Aizawa. Pi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then another factor, Pi said in his nikki that, the cases they have in the new seasons are adapted from real cases, which makes it more real and more.. How to say. Down to earth? Like touches your heart more? That's what I feel. Then before I continue, I want to comment on the differences between Season 1 and Season 2.

When I was watching season 1, I did feel emo and down and sad and very much affected. And you could see that most of them were not trained or experienced enough, many things had happened and how they coped with everything. Everyone had their challenges. Fujikawa's unskillfulness, Hiyama's short temper + impulsiveness (I think?), Shiraishi's indecisiveness + big problem (Kuroda Sensei's arm) and Aizawa's coldness. But everyone changed and became better. Then when it was special, they tried to show how everyone has improved, but still not enough for such a big catastrophe. (?)

Now that when I watched season 2, the first thought I have, or the strongest thought I have now after watching episode 2 is that, this season is much darker and deeper. In fact, more emo as well. In season 1 you see patients healing, even though they had bad backgrounds or sad cases. So far in season 2, no one has properly healed I believe. Actually episode 1 may be slightly boring because there's only 1 main case. Probably because they have to make a proper start for this drama, before they give us such a shocking episode 2~ *laughs*

For that main case in episode 1, the patient did recover, slightly, but still remain as a vegetable most probably. Episode 2 was worse, 1st case of death, 2nd case of death, 3rd case of memory loss. Not much goodness in it. But with that, I feel fulfilled. Even though it's not all that happy ending, I'm enriched and I feel contented after watching.

Lastly, I'm really amazed at how I look forward to this drama more than any other I believe. Yes I did look forward to Buzzer Beat. But it was a different feeling and I seriously love Code Blue for itself! Code Blue rocks!!

I know why I love Code Blue so much. Even though I have not watched any other medical dramas, I can assure that.. Code Blue is really focused on the cases, and the technical area, and the development. Probably that's what the plot is based on, but I'm glad they really based it fully on cases + development. Probably in many other medical dramas, they like to focus on the conflicts of doctors, fights, argues, and probably private lives of the doctors. I love how they based the story in the hospital, and how they use cases to bring out the problems or the thoughts of the doctors. Without bringing out the doctors' private lives. But of course sad to say, I can't remember if I've ever seen Pi in his private clothes in Code Blue. Probably the changing room, that black tank top. And that's all. *laughs*

Alright, that sums up my whole Code Blue fangirling post, because it's running late and I have tons to do before I go for work tomorrow!! Gotta sleep!

I love Code Blue!!

Code Blue Season 2

I can't believe that I have not blogged about this yet!!! New season! New season! Yeah!!

I can't wait to see Pi as Aizawa again! This drama really left me a very deep impression and I love it so much!

I remember it making me down for almost a week. Because the mood in the drama is very heavy. Don't really know how to describe, but I love the drama. More challenges! Yeah!

Shige has a new special drama, but I have not watched any yet. Well.. Somehow, Shige isn't that good in acting yet but I know he's working hard! I'll watch it when I have the time to download!

Tego had a movie, and now he had some drama special too I think? But anyway, a new drama for him! Yamato nadeshiko shichi henge! But then, the main is Kame. Well. I have to force myself to watch since it is one of my favourite series, and also, Tego! :)

Massu's working hard on his butai I believe and the butai was splendid!! :) I'm so glad that I watched it! That's the first time I watched a butai and I think I'll go for more in the future if I get to know great stories~

Ryo's busy with Kanjani8 now. So there's nothing much updates on him.

Kei-chan. Well, the most active I've seen will be on Soukon. *laughs*

At least I have soukon to keep track on the other 4 NEWS members~ :)

Pi!!! I miss you! (I nearly cried when I was listening to his songs~)

Short But Sweet Day 3 Concert 1 & 2

*spams*

By the way, I officially announce "Yours Baby" as my favourite song of Pi this season. OOOS! *laughs* I must recall his lyrics fully!!! Ahhh! I was trying to focus and sing along just now during both concerts!! I don't know why but I love that song since the moment I heard it during the first concert~ This song is really up-tempo? And I love the music~ The melody~ *laughs* And you can't find the song or performance anywhere at all. So I believe this is a all Pi song?! *kya~* I'm listening to this song now and have been looping this song for almost 2 hours?! I spent some effort trying to extract that from the video I took, and I succeeded!! :)

And the part I love or made me fall in love? "Tonight, feels right, kimi igai wa you wa nai, set my secrets free on with the music, release in the air". Oh!! It's repeating! This part! Argh! *high*
I love you Pi!!!

And the first thing I want to say, Pi CAN SING LIVE WELL~!!! Alright. I think it's because he'll be out of breath during dance numbers, so he couldn't sing live? Or he chose not to sing live?

Anyway, I should just write down the main points first! Tanaka Koki and Akanishi Jin! OK. Then Pi was kicked by Jin during encore when they sang Seishun because there was this leg dancing? *laughs* And Pi immediately holds Jin by his collars.

Together Jin and Pi sang Eternal, a song Jin made for a friend's wedding which was performed by the both of them. They had the lyrics with them and they performed LIVE!! OH my! Pi sang live and he is GOOD ok!!

Pi dragged his "sunshine" when he sang After the rain for both concerts today. I love how he sang it! Really! I was tearing when I heard it! Afternoon concert I teared hearing ATR, evening concert I teared hearing Eternal?! Oh my. I can't stop tearing at all!

Pi did beat-boxing! Woo!! He did it just before Run From You, which was right after he wore that woolen hat? And he winked to the camera during the afternoon concert! Which he did not during the evening!

And I forgot to say this, Pi was shaking his head so much when he did the rap of SE during the first concert. But now at the 5th and 6th, he didn't really shake as much. So I guess the first shaking was really due to nervousness?

And I believe, he sang live for Ao. Then, today he sang almost fully live for Love Song!! Yeah!! Omedetou! He's singing more and more live! Colourful was live, (almost too~) Himawari was half live (for sure). But hey, encore was LIVE! He sang Ima Sugu Ni and Seishun LIVE! Then Fever to Future live? And Daite Live?! It's not like he can't hit the high notes in the chorus?! He can!! And he did!! It was only he couldn't sing the long notes because he was running and was getting slightly out of breath~

And for all 4 concerts I went to, only the final concert he did not make a mistake in the lyrics of verse 1 of Daite. The first concert, he sang to the second verse from "onna nante~gaki atsukai" to "otoko nante~iitain darou". The second one I went to, he totally paused when he sang "Otoko nante ....." (and it's already wrong since it should be Onna nante. ). Then during the third concert, he sang "onna nante", but he used "shinjitenai to iitaindarou" instead of "otona butte gaki atsukai". And in the final concert, he sang everything correctly!! But during encore, he sang the wrong one again~ *laughs*

And finally, he said "YOU tachi, icchaiyou!"

And you know something? I really think he sings live even for his dance numbers. Argh, pi you're too GOOD! I can't tell if you're really lip-syncing or not because when I thought you are, something happened to tell me that you're not! Argh.

I can't remember much now. I shall sleep early and have a refreshed mind tomorrow to do another update?! *laughs* I love Pi! I love NEWS!

Short But Sweet Day 2 Concert 2

Oh my oh my oh my!!!! I got one very good seat!! We're on the third row on the stand seat, which was where Pi will go by during encore!!! I didn't get to touch him, I didn't get any eye contact with him (still), but never mind!! I'm hoping for a better tomorrow! Or rather, later!

I'm so determined to get another ticket for tomorrow's first concert, because he changes his mystery guest every concert!! It was Takky and HSJ (Yuuto, chinen, yamada & someone) and nakayama yuuma? Ya.. But oh gosh, I totally enjoyed today's concert and I cried during the opening, GNJ.

And and and, I must write about the MC!!!! So cute!! Well, when Pi was talking halfway, Takky appeared unexpectedly and of course I screamed like hell. I know I predicted that he will appear somewhere, anyway, he appeared. And he was saying he watched the concert at the back, and when pi stood on the stage and did something the audience went "kya". Then he went on saying he was on the transparent ball, and he shoved his hand at the camera and everyone went "kya" again! *laughs* I went kya at that moment too!! So it was very very funny!! The interactions between Takky and Pi is very very smooth and natural!!! Love them so much!!

Then Takky asked Pi to do something to win our hearts more, but Pi didn't want to do it at all!!! I don't know what's that, something called "hihi"? And also, Takky was teasing Pi all the way. He said something like wanting Pi to re-do the opening again and Pi went to believe him and thought he had to do it. Then Takky said it was a joke and then said want to show us fans Pi's kawaii side. Then he did things which made Pi slightly embarrassed and Takky kept on asking "kawaii desho?". And we fans kept saying "kawaii~!"

And so Pi made Takky go off, and we fans were like asking Pi to do it. But Pi did not want to do it at all, and he was saying his ears are itching (which was actually our cheer.. *laughs*) and he will ignore the small sounds he's hearing or something.

Then Pi tried to change the topic and he suddenly went to the penlight. And it was as if he suddenly thought of it and said it was his idea to make the penlight red because he wants to see a sea of red or something. Then we were waving our lights too. Then he asked the people to darken the light I think? Or something, but anyway only red lights were turned on on the stage and along the walls. And we fans were like waving our lights vigorously. It was amazing. We're like wow-ing about the effect, even Pi was wow-ing too!!! Then he said he has always wanted to do this. And he asked us to stop waving. Then he asked us to wave, and suddenly he shouted stop, and we stopped. And I forgot it was this time or he did this another time before he shouted "sugee" and dropped on stage rolling~ *laughs* It was so cute!! He's like acting as a kid!!

Then he stood up, he did that again. And the last time, he asked us to wave, and suddenly he did 3 dance like movements. Like 1 move (paused for 1 second), 2nd move (paused) and 3rd move, but we fans didn't know to stop or to move or to wave. *laughs* That was when he had his fun and it went back to normal MC. Then he performed Kinki Kids's song which I don't know the title, but it has "koi wa mystery". Hahah.. I like that song too! Shall find it one day!

Won't have enough sleep because I have to rush down to Harajuku tomorrow to find concert tickets. I don't care because I really want to watch the concert.

And back to the concert, then he sang Daite, and he introduced the guests and the concert went on.

Then when he finished the concert, the call for encore wasn't strong (because we know there will be one). Then he went pass us within split seconds?! Argh, sad. And then he thanked us before ending the whole concert. But the call for encore was very very good after that. Everyone shouted "yamapi" for a long time and finally Pi came out. And when he asked if everyone's ready, we answered and he was, ok, since you want it, I'll do it again. We were shouting "mou ikkai"! Hahah.. Then the band came out and he performed Fever to Future!!! :)

Then, the end.

Yeah! I love how I wrote down all the highlights!! :):)

SHORT BUT SWEET DAY 1 Concert 1

I just cried.. Well, I was listening to After the rain and I cried. I wanted to cry in the concert but I stopped myself. Now the more I think of it, the more I want to cry. I don't know how to describe this feeling of mine now. I just feel very very sad and down and lost. Like.. I don't know.. But just let me do a proper recount of my very first Pi concert.

Well, I tried my best to wake up early, and prepared for it. When we reached there, we queue for the goods and I got double of all except 3 files and 1 photo set. When we queue for the entrance, I was excited I guess?

I want to leave out the details for the entering part.

Then we got seated. And when the music started, many fans screamed, but I couldn't. Right at that moment I was afraid that I'm turning cold towards Pi. But I love the music, it made me high already. The bass was very strong. And he started with the song Gomen Ne Juliet. I was thinking, only a few songs will become his first song, either Loveless, Gomen Ne, Daite or Mola. In the end it was Gomen Ne~ He appeared on the stage, but I did not get excited frankly. He was singing (LS) and only singing. Finally until the very last line, he finally did the hand movement of GNJ.

I couldn't remember the second song, but I saw the song list and yes, Yubiwa. Nice performance if I was not wrong. Can't remember but it was LS too. But I remember these scenes of him wiping his sweat on his forehead and face with a black wristband? And he was trying to not make it obvious.

I think it was after Yubiwa, he wore a hat to cover all his hair before dancing the third song (from song list too), run from you.

!*!*!*!*

I cannot continue anymore, I can't think anymore. So I shall just type the main points here? The lighting effects was splendid, marvelous, excellent, everything! It was so so so amazing and pretty!! And when Toma appeared, I was like "just as I thought so". And they sang Yokubou no Rain, which was my fav song too! At least I heard that song and I love it.

Then I can't recall when, Pi took off that hat, he changed into another hat, and he performed another song. Then there was this part, we suddenly saw the cart moving towards our left, and Pi moved towards the cart too, and I screamed so hard and I nearly went breathless. Or I went breathless actually, for few seconds.

Shall end here.

Loveless Single

Short review, cuz I'm only listening for the first time, and I wish to jot down my first impression.

Loveless - Love the song!! Very R&B and ballad!
Crush on you - Except for the way he pronounces, I think the song was quite alright. I sort of love like it.
Dance Jam - Very Koda Kumi like, and I know I already like the song when I first heard it, I'll probably love it as time goes by, and also, I hope that Koda could sing this song with him~
ME - At least, not a song I'll like for now. And probably won't. If I took such a long time to get used to Why, I think I'll take a very long time to get used to this song.
After the rain - Very exile style of R&B, so I like it the moment I listened to it. Then when it goes to the chorus, I love one line and it makes me feel fuzzy~ *laughs*
Run From You - Not really my type too. But not much of dislike or like, very neutral.
Moonlight - So many fans love it, so I thought I have to like this song too. Anyway, at first I thought the song wasn't that special. But the chorus was cool~ :) I think I'll grow to love this song too?

Overall, I'm glad he made Loveless the main song, and this single is very poppish. Very danceable and also hip. But not really my type. I'll say, 65/100? Because I still need time to grow to like the songs~ But at least, there are songs which I like the moment I listened to them, which are After the rain, Dance Jam and Loveless. A little little, but at least there are some songs, right?

Alright, let me listen for the second and subsequent times now.

*~*~*~*~*

Second time review

Crush on you - Not bad, very english like. Or should I say, a little 70s or 80s? *laughs*
Dance Jam - I would love to have Koda with Pi for this song!! Really! Oh my, I love this song! Seriously! Anyway, this song has this background music that sounds so much like the start of "Chicken Boy" of Tegomass and I keep thinking my phone was ringing. *laughs* Cuz I set that song as my message tone. Alright, I love this song very very much already! :):):) With Koda this will be a very very great song!! :)
ME - Very, not my type, seriously. I don't like the chorus. Yes, Pi's singing so many high notes, but I don't like his voice here. It's, strange. And I don't really like this style of song. If compared to 5566, it's like that "run run away" song. But fourth dimension of 5566 is very nice, and this song is slightly similar to it. But I can't stand that "Look at that, what, me!" part..
After the rain - If not for seeing the lyrics, I thought he said "you mustn't mustn't die" instead of "imagine imagine that". I think I love what already. The way how his chorus suddenly go up a few keys. I'll say, this song is very KT ballads. Because I thought of KT ballads the moment I heard it for the second time. OK, I still think I'll love this song. :)
Run From You - Very american pop. That's all. Cuz I'm running out of time, I shall move on.
Moonlight - OK. Still OK to me. But I think it's a song which I'll grow to love. That's all.

*flails*

Buzzer Beat has ended.

My craze has ended too.

I was exhiliarated when I saw the email Aggie sent to me. Pi's solo concert! And I'm so happy because I'm able to attend the concert!

Because it's so late now, I have to end here.

Pi!!

2009年8月10日月曜日

Buzzer Beat!

I was so outdated. But never mind about that, let me fangirl Pi that little today PLEASE!

It was episode 5 today and woohoo!! The scene I've waited for so long finally came! Oh well, obviously Naoki and Riko will get together in this drama but, you can't help but anticipate the moment to arrive!!

Spoilers ahead but I don't care now!

KHTV was bad almost all the while, but during that last few minutes of the drama, I was so so so glad that I refreshed and that scene went totally smooth! I think the director is brilliant! Because that scene was such a wonderful scene! So natural yet so deliberate~ *laughs* I don't know if I'm making sense here.

Riko sat on the floor in the kneeling way, while Naoki squatted in front of her. Such a comfortable distance. But when riko wanted to get up, the moment she knelt up from her sitting position matched with Naoki's tempo so well! Naoki in his squatting position, he knelt down and immediately shortened the distance between them! And just that moment they hugged!

It has been long since I watched a Japanese love drama so don't disappoint me! *laughs*

As I watch videos I realised NEWS is still as Kakkoii as before. *laughs* So no matter what happen, I must realise my dreams!

mattekurete yo! NEWS no minna~

2009年5月22日金曜日

Drama!

Alright. Pi's drama is already confirmed. A love and romance drama. Featuring him as a basketball player (that explains why recently he has been playing basketball) and I'm suddenly smiling because I thought of MVP Valentine. Never mind that. Anyway, this is going to be a love kind of drama, with him playing basketball and all. Someone in LJ actually said something about Slam Dunk, which made me think a little because I wonder if this story really takes after SD.

Title: Match Point

I'm lazy to talk about the rest. Oh yes, female lead is Keiko something and I don't know her at all. But she is pretty. If she has something with Pi, or rather, if Pi has some affairs with some girl who is decent, it is totally alright. Really.

Then Ryo is acting with Takky in the new drama. I have 2 dramas on hand already for the coming season. Anyway, I was fantasizing about how Pi's and Ryo's drama can have NEWS songs as the theme then they can release a double A single. But with coupling songs still. Then it will be 3 versions, 1LE with Song A, 1LE with Song B, RE with both A and B. Yeah. Nice isn't it? I rather this than KT's consecutive releases. Really.

Alright then. Tego has a new drama SP too by the way. Kei and Massu busy promoting 24HR TV and Koi no ABO I must say. If not why no news about them? *laughs*

OH NEWS, please come together soon!

2009年5月19日火曜日

NEWS?

It is amazing how this blog dies right after the Koi no ABO promotions. Well, Massu and Kei are still doing promotions for both 24HR TV and KnABO I presume, but I have not heard much news from NEWS since then. Shige is working hard with his stageplay (and that 20 seconds kiss, I swear I would love to watch it again and again~ *oops*), Ryo finally has a new drama and I love how he is given such kinds of characters (I hope Pi gets a good drama role soon too. Frankly I wouldn't want to see Pi in a lovey dovey show that doesn't train his acting skills. I want a role which can help to improve his acting skills, before he finally turn into dramas which require great acting skills.). The Kei and Massu busy promoting on TV programmes as well as radio programmes. While lastly Tego having ItteQ and nothing else and Pi lazing around. What are you doing Pi~! *laughs*

I want to have more news of NEWS. I just dl-ed a video and I think I shall watch it in a while.

By the way I think I really love NEWS's performances in NWPD included in the DVD from KnABO LE. Because I have been watching it non-stop and not getting tired of it still.

Will they sing during 24HR TV? I hope they do.

This is more like a fangirl ranting than a flailing post. *laughs*

Ne, NEWS, give us more news alright?

NEWS S.A.I.K.O.U SAIKOU!

オメデトウ!!

Dear Kei-chan,

Happy Birthday to you! I'm sorry but I'll only be able to dedicate a short post to you. Firstly, I think you're generally improving a lot and I love how you're kind to everyone! Please continue to improve and help one another for the rest of NEWS's life! Please take care of everyone too.

I seriously love your kindness and your member Ai influence in NEWS~ *laughs*

Take care!

New news!

24時間テレビ32 愛は地球を救う 2009年8月29日(土)~8月30日(日)放送

Yeah!!! This year's 24Hr TV's personality has been decided to be NEWS! Well, I don't really know much about this show, I only know that Arashi has been hosting it for a few times already, and seems like it is a yearly show. Then after I did research, it turned out to be a fundraising show which is hosted every year. I don't know the nature of it but seems like this programme will run for 24 hours.

Anyway, NEWS is finally given a chance to host! I can't believe it somehow. But it is already decided. So... I'm happy! Actually I'm not that high now, after all the NEWS/news and all. Anyway I want to post their comments! I love Ryo's SO MUCH! HE IS SO NICE LA!!

何十年にも渡って続く「24時間テレビ」の歴史の中にNEWSの名前を刻める事が、 率直にうれしいです。
最高の夏の締めくくりになればと思うので、精一杯がんばります。

I'm a little lazy to translate. I believe I'll be able to understand next time. *laughs* NEWS might just get their own show sooner or later~

I shall wait patiently!

And the reasons for choosing NEWS is because of their smart outlook and all! The chinese translations said "知性醒目" which I translated as "distinctively intellectual". So the reason in Japanese!

NEWSの6人は、グループでの活動はもちろん、それぞれ個人でも活躍し、独特の存在感を示しています。若い女性はもちろん、幅広い世代の方から支持を得ています。 24時間テレビという国民的番組の、メインパーソナリティーをお願いするのにふさわしいと思いました。
歌、踊りががうまい上に、ちょっと知的でスマートなイメージのある彼らですが、このようなチャリティ番組を通して、汗をかいたり涙したりという人間臭い姿をぜひ見てみたいと思います。
この番組に参加することで、メンバーがさらに成長し、彼らにとっても新たな「スタート」になればと思います。

Flails

I must flail on my own now, because I'm reading the lyrics while listening to Koi no ABO single. Oh my. I think some fans are right. Labyrinth is addictive and is like Ai no MATADOR. Because similarly, I didn't really like AnM but slowly I grew to like it and I love it now. *laughs* It's NEWS anyway. I will love all songs at the end of the day somehow.

Anyway, I love the lyrics for Labyrinth. Thumbs up for whoever that wrote it. (Because I'm lazy to check the writer.) And I think the lyrics is very matured. I think if NEWS is going towards this way, they will succeed. Really. Because it is no longer mediocre lyrics. They have deep meaning and all. And most importantly NO LONGER ERO LYRICS. They can have sexy lyrics but probably not ERO lyrics? I don't know. And they can have more ballads now. :) 

NEWS is improving! And I must say everyone's singing has improved too! Just that JS said Ryo is stagnant. But I think otherwise now. Because I can see he puts his all during concerts. Probably not TV performances, but at least he does put his all during concerts. And slowly I'm liking his voice too~ *laughs*

Then Share, because I teared again while reading the lyrics and listening to the song. If I have to pick a line or two from each member's solo, I'll choose:

Kei
辛いときは一緒に泣こう
楽しいときは共に笑おう

Ryo
一人一人が持つ色だから
鮮やかなマーブル描けばいい

Massu
ここに来て一緒に唄おう
あなたの声をまた聴かせてね

Shige
今までもこれからもいつまでも
隣にいてくれてありがとう

Pi
例え離れてたって
心は一つに繋がってるよ
いるよそばに I promise you

Tego
全てが僕の宝物
ずっとずっと歩き続け行こう

Because he is Pi. *laughs* But I really love the lyrics that all of them wrote! I think it's really a record of their emotions and true feelings. I'm glad that they all came together to create a song of their own. Ganbatte NEWS!

Koi no ABO Leaks

Particularly, Share.

*Screams shouts flails goes crazy high ecstatic ..... *

Because Share is LOVE.
Point form again, because I'm actually lazy to type fully.
  • clear audio
  • clear voices
  • totally live!! (at least all solo parts)
  • Kei sang well!
  • Shige sang so well!
  • Ryo's voice is nice!
  • Massu's voice is nice too!
  • Tego's part is amazing!
  • OH I LOVE PI'S SINGING SO MUCH ESPECIALLY BECAUSE HE WAS SINGING LIVE
  • an AMAZING song totally

Proper review of Koi no ABO Single:

Koi no ABO
The 15 secs CM didn't really attract my attention. I wasn't sure if I'd like the song in fact. But when the 30 secs was out, the "subete wo sarake dashite" attracted me, and I thought the song wasn't that bad. Then when the full song was out, I totally fell in love with the song. IT IS ADDICTIVE. Then when the PV was out, GOSH. I'm TAKEN. I think it isn't that hard to get to like this song and it will get more and more addictive. I should just let others listen to this song.

Labyrinth
To be honest, I think this song is just ok. Probably that's why I didn't flail that much that day. But I have to admit, a 320kbps rip is so much better than that radio rip. And it definitely greatly raise my likeness of this song! But I won't say it is one of my favourite song yet. Have to listen to it for a longer time probably. But I love that "Ai dake wa nakusanaide" line. Really! :) OK, actually I like this song. *laughs*

Open Your Eyes
I love the song when I first heard it. And when the full rip was out in radio, I listened and I love how the last chorus rose a key higher! I think I love this song more than Labyrinth! Probably Labyrinth is a little too ordinary. Actually, I take back what I've typed above, I'm loving Labyrinth I think~

Share (LIVE at Tokyo Dome)
Needless to say? 10/10!  *laughs* Or in fact it's over the meter! I love this song! And the live singing just make this song so much better! I would love a studio version, but I'm not letting go of this version, because IT IS LIVE SINGING. I seriously adore LIVE!

DVD
Happy Birthday
Everyone sang live. Was generally satisfied since I didn't really pay much attention other than listening to the live singings. Somehow I thought Kei improved in his singing. He sang well! I had some thoughts though. When they started to dance midway, I was thinking all of them were restless and thinking things like "alright, here comes the dance. My body is aching yet I have to dance.". Then the slowly the body will get used to the dancing and they'll dance with all might~

weeeek
Alright, most importantly, Pi's "Meguri meguru memaguru shiku mawaru" was so nice!! I mean, it wasn't his usual flat singing, it was almost perfect!! So happy! However his opening and Ryo's solo didn't match in the keys. I wonder if I heard wrongly.

Hadashi no CINDERELLA BOY
Super high song! Other than high, nothing much generally.

Gan Gan Ganbatte
Love this song! Was trying to learn the steps but I am still unable to. Then Kei sang well too! And I love Massu with his funny actions! But little Pi I'll say. Really.

Summer Time
Alright, splendid song! Just that some chorus lines sounded lip synced. Then the next moment it sounded live again. Strange. But I love how Pi sang LIVE for it! Love it!

MC
Funny, but JS said NEWS is self-centered. I shall watch Arashi MC next time to compare somehow. I think?

Overall
I really love the DVD since the performances are almost live! Then the songs are great too! Even the B sides are great. Love this single!

NEWS!

(By the way, I want more perf on TV!)

2009年4月25日土曜日

Koi no ABO MS Perf

Not that I didn't flail, I flailed and I already missed that feeling now. So anyway, because I want to sleep already, I shall do it in point forms.

  • Pi's hair is crazy and funny but I don't mind it at all
  • Kei's cute with that ribbon on his hair
  • Pi gave a dumb face when Kei said "Nani gata?"
  • Even though JS said Kei's singing sucks, at least he sang live and I'm contented already
  • During Kei's "Uranai jya...... Nanto ka naru desho", the dance moves are so cool and I want to learn them!
  • I love ryo's husky voice suddenly, he sang so well during his solo
  • Pi's part was great I think? His solo, since I think he sang so much better than last time :)
  • Massu sounded a little strange, somehow I feel that Massu also has a tendency to go flat at times (but JS has never said something like this once, so I'm going to keep this to myself first)
  • Shige's "agare" still wins
  • Love Tego's singing!!
  • *laughs* The way they rose and with funky glasses
  • Why did Pi speak instead of singing?
  • Just what were they chanting? New gag?
  • I noticed when Tego wore his glasses by the way
  • Ryo's "crown" was in fact "eye lashes"
  • Pi wore his glasses so quickly
  • Massu screwed up but I didn't notice it, JS told me
  • Oh yes. Massu screwed up while wearing the glasses, how could I forget it?
The end!

  • I forgot to mention, Tego's eye decoration is win too
  • And Massu's hairstyle doesn't look like pudding to me, it's cool! *laughs*

2009年4月19日日曜日

Koi no ABO no B-sides!

I didn't flail last night because I was too tired. Actually I'm not flailing because I'm tired now too. But I must admit the song is pretty! Oops! I didn't mention the title!

Labyrinth.

Hai. Labyrinth desu. *laughs* This song didn't really catch my attention. But when the chorus came in, I was hooked onto it. Really. But one thing is, I sort of thought of Kinki Kids once the chorus came in. Argh. Sorry. 

But I think this song is great too! I'm totally on for latino style of songs! Just like Taiyou no Namida, Ai no Matador, Kimi Omou Yoru and more~

I'm loving the last line of the chorus, "Ai dake wa nakusanaide". It means "Only love please don't lose it." Or I should say it means "只有爱请不要遗失". It is something along the line of you can lose something but please don't lose Love.

Just give me the MS performance already. Actually, only 5 days more isn't it? Yeah. And the 30 secs CM just rocks~ Please someone rip it already! I want the CM! I love it!
