Happy birthday to Kosshi, Bun, Yonehana & Takeuchi - the last one a little belated but hopefully the prettiness in my icon should make up for it ;)

I have to admit I completely forgot about Kosshi's birthday until my mum reminded me this morning and that's when we remembered the MAD/MADE birthday season began with Takeuchi's birthday last Friday; weirdly enough 9 out of the 22 MAD/MADE members have birthdays in October/November, not to mention Yonehana from MA and 2 of the KanJuu Veterans who used to be in Kansai MAD. Personally I suspect it's probably one of the random criteria Johnny uses when choosing which group to put a Jr in to - hey, it's no weirder that choosing group members by whether their initials can be turned into a random, nonsense word :D Either that or people born in October and November are generally better dancers... wait a sec, Donghae and Henry are October birthdays too, maybe there's something in this theory....... ^.^

Only watched half of it so far but think I've seen all the important parts:

Kisumai's new song 雨 is ♥ but not as ♥ as Kei calling Yokoo "渉" during the Kisumai talk - I love that Kei, Yokoo & most likely Shige at least are all still friends from the KKKity days... actually, I love all KKKity member-ai, as you might be able to tell from my new icon!

Yara is totally S, Bun is from another planet and YamaRyo is so genki it makes even Mimi look miserable in comparison - and this is why I love Butoukan :D

Chibi-ABC is adorable and Goseki-sama does love laughing at Fumi, doesn't he :)


As an aside, much as I want the Kisumai to debut just as the seven of them, I still feel Johnny is wasting an opportunity to debut EbiKisuTokan (ie ABC-Z + Kis-My-Ft2 + Butoukan) and create a bigger boyband than even Super Junior, especially now that SuJu are down to 12(+2) - but that has even less chance of happening than a Kisumai debut.........

I remembered today something that should have been another of my New Year's resolutions - not to be so late anymore. Unfortunately, I've managed to be late to work every day so far in 2009 (even if that's only 3 days!), and quite spectacularly overslept by the best part of an hour this morning ^^; Then having to de-ice the car doesn't help - though mostly it's just me being useless and easily distracted at home rather than leaving as early as I should ^^; Oh well, let's see how I do tomorrow - though with the fact it's nearly half two now and I should well be in bed already but instead I'm sat here writing this, I'm not being too optimistic :D

I did want a new icon to go with this post, but my stupid animation software crashes everytime I try to import the video for it. Obviously, said icon would be the stunning Heechul x Jungmo kiss from last weekend's Super Show - something I have probably watched more times than is healthy ;-) I have to admire his nerve, and the fact that 90% of the responses I've seen have been positive is also great. I'm very much of the opinion that it was totally hot, I hope he emulates it with both Hankyung and Siwon sometime in the near future (and someone also manages to film that - preferably in HD!), that if it were an indication of his orientation that that would be a perfectly good thing, and that if certain other SuJu members wished to do the same then that would also be all to the good of humanity XD Oh, and if that was the show when Siwon's grandmother was in the audience then I hope she wasn't too shocked, and that if it was the show when SHINee were there then they should learn from their hyung's the best way to behave on stage, though possibly not until certain members are at least a little older... By the way, did I mention the hot? ::smirk:: Anyway, will carry on battling with animation shop tomorrow - I will not let it beat me!

Speaking of the kiss, I showed the video of it to a friend at work today. She knows I like BL & yuri type stuff, and JPop & KPop, even though she's not interested in any of that herself, so I was interested to see her reaction. She was all "but that's another boy" when Heenim was approaching Sungmin, and was stunned into silence at the kiss! This might not sound so impressive, but I've known her nearly 2 years now and I don't think she's stopped talking once in that time, so that's quite a big deal!! She didn't have any problems with it when she did remember how to speak - she was mostly concerned with whether Heechul is likely to get in trouble for doing it!

As for the fic that ate my soul, luckily it's slowed down a little since I haven't had much time to write over the past few days. Unfortunately a plot bunny for another AU started nibbling, so now I'm working on two AUs at once - and have a vague urge to write something in a third one too... I feel this will most likely end up with a thoroughly confused Ayame o.o

Think it's nearly time for bed now, but first mini Shokura 2009-01-04 review:
Yay! for Tama pimping, Watta-Miya pairing during Hatsu Uta, soooooo much YoSuke love during Hatsu Uta, Taipi & Watta being the only Kisumai to sing separately twice (again during Hatsu Uta!), Butokan's new song being really pretty with plenty of Bun vocals, and Crazy Accel's gorgeous new introduction with Hasshi's heavenly voice!

Oh, and slightly disturbing: not only does Tsukachan really look like SuJu's Eunhyuk, but it turns out he raps in a similar way to him too... I can't help but feel this is slightly deliberate since Johnny's will have been watching Toho & now SuJu moving towards Japan, and have taken steps towards Korea themselves - and it can't be a coincidence that the groups they've sent to Korea so far are the Johnny's groups with the closest to an SM mentality: Arashi = OT5 and much, much skinship, and sending Ebikisu as backdancers was deliberate too with 11/12 members vs SuJu's 13/15, skinship, OT3, YoSuke, HiroSuke (even if I can't say I've ever really noticed that one!), FumixGocchi love, group baby/magnae with an amazing voice & looking years older than their actual age (Changmin vs Kyuhyun/Ryeowook [not so much looking older but just voice for Wookie] vs Hasshi) etc - the similarities are endless! But back to my main point - someone in the groups or their management has noticed the similarities, so maybe Tsukachan's Eunhyuk-like rapping was also deliberate... ooh, conspiracy theories abound ;-)

I totally have loads of comments to reply to but it's 1.45am so I'm just going to post the details on next months shokura and then I have to go to bed - I need to try and get up early enough to reply in the morning... or at least not be late for work!

Anyway the filming for the April shokuras took place yesterday in Japan and a little googling has led me to the following setlist (I should point out that this is translated from various Japanese fanblogs and we won’t really know until it airs if this is completely accurate. I also apologise for any mistakes in translation - it‘s very late at night and I am nowhere near fluent ^^;):

Cut for spoilers... )

Okay so this entry was written at lunch but I didn't get a chance to post it until now - I don't really like using lj at work, just in case...

As I write this the first shokura of the 2008-09 season will already have been filmed earlier today. I know what I hope for the inevitable changes for the new year, but I also know what I supect will probably happen: not a lot that I'll like! Anyway, before I google to see what actually I thought I'd get my predictions down...

Long, long ramblings under the cut )

I've been so excited about this week's shokura Premium since they updated the site after last month's episode and listed 平家派 as the guests - the only members of the group that backdanced for Genji's Tsurugi no Mai that still remain as Johnnys (Leader, Yamaguchi, Taichi, Sakamoto, Nagano & Inocchi). And clubbox must have known how excited I was because the download is crawling...

Anyway, in the meantime I thought I'd update with the latest Jr news - since I have approximately 379 things to do right now but this seemed like the most fun! Looking at the Jr page on johnny's-net, it really does seem like the invasion of the Jrs at the moment, so here are the highlights: )

Well since my download seems to be done at last, I guess I'll go watch it. Can't wait to see MA & MAD as well as the old guys!!


::Edited to add details of Jrs on MSte with eito::
