Wherein I Spazz Sporadically

Cartoon KAT-TUN

2008-06-12T20:43:23Z

I need to say this or I'll explode to become a splattery goo on my wall.

So. SO. I must be the slowest person on the planet, but I've just downloaded the latest cartoon KAT-TUN and guess who's the guest. ajdklsjdlskfjl. ONLY THE WOMAN I'M HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH. AND GUESS WHO'S THE PERSON SHE'S HAVING THE CROSS TALK WITH. ONLY THE MAN I'M HEAD OVER THE-BACK-OF-MY-KNEES IN LOVE WITH. Let me be completely juvenile and squeal here for a moment, not, that I've been a shining example of maturity thus far, but.

Squealing. Yes. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ askdljfjkdljf I want them to hook up so bad, and I'm utterly convinced he was flirting with her, and nothing can change my mind even though I've only watched, like, 15 seconds of the entire clip during QC.

I wasn't the least bit interested in this week's show initially, but then I saw this picture here and being the normal JEfangirl that I am, I did what every normal JEfangirl would do when she comes across something she finds absolutely horrifying. Download the associated video immediately.

On a side note, that post also amused me to no end. Oh Akame, see how you deprive your fans so.

Just the other day, my brother was mentioning how he found people who wore their caps not completely seated over their heads disgusting. I was thinking of several artistes who do this and defended them in front of my brother, because while I don't like it, I won't go as far as to call it disgusting. Well, let's just say, someone up there is testing me.

I love how this post went from mindless squealing to mindless rambling.

Lovejuice (I'm convinced it looks less obscene when you use lowercase letters)

2008-05-10T12:01:02Z

So apparently, the official lyrics of LOVEJUICE is out.

The fan lyrics were almost completely accurate. Kudos to everyone who could tell what Jin was actually saying, because if it were up to me, I don't think I'll catch anything except for "I can taste that sweet LOVEJUICE". It figures that out of everything, Jin should be most coherent when saying this.

I have just one question though. What the hell is a boze?

Just some stuff here and there

2008-05-07T11:22:01Z

I came home expecting to see posts of the DUES pv. But... nothing. For the past few days, I've planted myself in front of the computer refreshing my friends page every five minutes or so. I think I'm starting to take root.

RAWR. I want to see Jin's tongue in HQ, dammit.

I have this nasty feeling they might only release the pv just before the latest album comes out D: Then again my intuition is about as good as a man's and knowing my luck, the pv in HQ will probably pop up right after I post this.

Well, at least exams are over, and I'm on my summer break now. I can't be more thankful for this. This semester was quite taxing for me; I think I might have overloaded myself a little, what with extra modules, Japanese classes and community activities. I'm terribly sorry for not commenting or posting much, even though I did hang around in lj for a bit. I'm not too good with time management. Better people have coped with heavier workloads. Seriously, a lot of people at uni are insane. They can handle studies, part-time jobs, extra curricular activities and still have time left for play.

I know that a couple of people on my friends list are nearing or are currently having their finals now. So I'd just like to shout out a little encouragement here:

ALL THE BEST!
がんばっていきまっしょい!

Did I Mention I Don't Really Like my Username?

2008-03-29T10:03:32Z

Uni is killing me, and I should be working, but I decided I have to make a quick post about this before it becomes totally passé.

This is Yuu-Kun.

Cartoon KAT-TUN 50 is my favourite episode because of him.

At this point, I was totally, utterly, completely lost. His smile is the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life. He's the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life.

He answered Jin and Maru that he was three years old, when he's actually two. His voice caught a little at the words and it was the most adorable thing ever. I guess he's still too young to speak properly though. Mostly, his replies were in "Un's", but they made me a gooey mush inside all the same.

Everyone should pout like this. They'd get anything they wanted.

EEEEEEE.

They brought him out into the snow. He was wearing a thick winter jacket, mittens and a hat with tassles. TASSLES. My hands stretched out to cuddle him properly, but were thwarted by the computer screen.

Frankly, Yuu-kun wasn't all that enthused about the snowman Maru worked so hard on. Poor Maru.

I really, really want to bring him home and cuddle him to sleep.

You have no idea how jealous I was at this point. Of Jin.

The main purpose of this post is to immortalise Yuu-kun in my LJ. Prior to this, I didn't really like kids. They were too noisy, fussy and time consuming. Now though, I want a baby of my own. Perferably someone who looks like Yuu-kun. I can feel my biological clock ticking.

I think I might be studying too much. My brain has obviously cracked if I'm paying so much attention to a two year old. Heck, I've even thrown this video into my ipod so I can watch this anytime I feel like it.

Okay, this is probably starting to creep everyone out. Stopping now.

Oh. Guess who? Or whose ♥

PS/ Life sucks right now. Uni sucks right now (I actually stayed up one entire night compiling a report). I don't have much time for LJ anymore. Sorry, everyone. I'll start being more active when summer comes. Can't wait for that. I really need the break, because I'm already stretched to my limits.

Just a notice

2008-03-02T03:53:03Z

University has been pretty draining this semester (you know it's bad when I don't surf during lessons anymore). So,I'm probably not going to be 'active' here for a while. Well, I post, like, once every leap year, so I don't think my short disappearance will make that much of an impact. I'll still be commenting though, whenever I can find time to, so it's not exactly a hiatus either (god, I hate that word so much, after...D:).

What is the point of this post then, you say? Um, I just feel really bad for not being around much, and as much as I'd like to get to know everyone better, I'm really stretched tight by my commitments. I even go to school on sundays for meetings. My term break just flew past me, I hardly had time to catch a breather. Practically every day was Group Meeting Day. I guess that means we're probably pretty inefficient.

I'll be free (and more active) after 3.5 years, I guess? Wait for me till then!

Nah, kidding. Actually, that holds more truth then not. But you know, there's always summer! 3 long months where I can recover from this thing called Uni, and make long rambly journal entries. I always have so many things to say, but can't seem to find time to type them down. So, yep, stay well, dear flist, in the meantime!

(Ima gonna disable comments because this is 'just a notice' *insert suitable emoticons*)

Birthday Post, I Guess (though i honestly didn't intend for it to become one)

2008-02-05T16:25:55Z

3 guesses for what came in the mail today. The first 2 don't count.

Eeeee! I wasn't actually expecting it because CD Japan says it releases on the 6th. So I was hoping it would arrive then, since I paid a shitload for express mail service. It would have made for a timely birthday gift.

JIN ON LARGE SCREEN TV. ♥♥♥

Did I mention I really, really love this cover? It's so fucking ugly, it becomes beautiful. And it's metallic. Search your heart and tell me honestly that you can resist a metallic cover.

But that's the reason the scan didn't turn out too well. I cant seem to find an angle where the lights won't reflect off the cover. As you can also see, I've never dusted my scanner.

It wasn't my intention but Jin looks like he's in the spotlight here, with the rest as shadowy figures. Tell me his lips aren't screwed. It gets better once you get used to it, really. Now, I only get a mild shock every other time I look at the cover.

I don't usually buy singles, but I couldn't resist this one. So much LOVE. I don't usually go on and on about my purchases either. Really. It's just- JIN. JIN ON LARGE SCREEN. JIN ON LARGE SCREEN MAKING EYES AT ME.

Oh. It's actually 12 here now. I feel old.

Downloading the Taiyou no Namida pv now. SO EXCITED!

All in all, this day has been...surprising. But they're all nice surprises!

ETA: OMG. While I'm doing up this entry my friends totally surprised me by coming up to my HOUSE. IM SO TOUCHED. ILU, FRIENDS. Please excuse any weird mistakes. I'm not in the right state of mind right now.

I Love when East-meets-west

2008-01-13T18:04:17Z

I feel that this needs to be documented.

Nakamaru to Nicholas Cage

Cage: Hello. (ahjdkhds he looks so cool I have never ever thought him as cool till now)
Nakamaru: Harwo.
Nakamaru: My nayma iza Nakamaru.
Nakamaru: Japuneezu poppu guruppu... carttun...
Cage: Oh, good.
Cage: You sing? (AHAHAHAHA)
Cage: Congratulations. (He didn't even wait for a reply)

As far as awkward conversations go, this takes the cake, and the cherry on top. Oh god, I am falling out of my chair in laughter.

Fail

2007-12-25T19:57:10Z

I am such a ditz.

So I saw this entry, didn't think to scroll, and went off squealing about Kame to my friend. That means I didn't notice the rest of the pretties.

My friend went offline a while ago, and I went to another forum, whereupon I chanced upon the rest of the set, and then sat here vibrating in my seat for a full 5 minutes, with no outlet for the massive squee building up inside of me.

So. I had this whole entry typed up, my loving flail and everything completing the package, and neatly tied up with a christmas bow. Then while searching for appropriate people to credit for the pictures, I noticed the rest of the pictures in the above entry. Came back here to edit, and promptly deleted the whole thing. The same thing happened earlier while I was painstakingly drawing up a birthday message for my cousin, and clicked on 'post' accidently, when I haven't completed the entire thing yet. And Facebook doesn't allow edits.

Oh well. At least the second drawing looked better than the first.

The entire point of this post, is actually to flail about Jin finally appreaing topless (no, the Popeye shoot doesn't count), and swoon at Ueda's physique. So;

AKJF;SDFJSDL;GJSLDKJGLKGJSFHLJKDSJFLSKDTHEHAPPY TRAILJFLKJFLKSDJFKLJDSFLKJDFLJDSL;ABSFJDL;FJD;LFJDLKFJDJINSL;KJUEDAFDLKJFLDKJFLDS;KJFSLD;JFDLJFLDSKAMEKJFLSJ;LNNNGGHHH

There. I think I feel better. I am now going to yesasia to check that I have ordered the calendar, again.

In which I finally drag my ass off the bed

2007-12-21T13:10:23Z

1. My reasons for practically disappearing: a) Exams. With disastrous results. b) I went to my grandparents' place, which has no internet connection, right after the exams. c) Then I fell sick. d) Actually, this is about how I am the laziest person ever, and have been lounging about in bed, doing nothing, for the past few months. I'M TERRIBLY SORRY. But I've been reading everything. Still sorry though.

2. I watched Ikeburo West Gate Park while I was at my grandparents', stuck with no other form of entertainment whatsoever. It was better than I expected. Yamapi is this tiny little twerp with teenage angst. Most importantly, he's this tiny little twerp that I want to squeeze until he squeaks. I fell in love with Kubozuka Yosuke, and Nagase hasn't changed from then till now.

Since it was an asian produced dvd, the english subs sucked. The subs went missing at certain points in the show, so I had to switch to chinese subs and rely on my non-existent comprehension of the language. I got the gist though. Overall, it was enjoyable, the plot fun, and you get to watch wee Yamapi running around.

3. Yukan Club ends. Despite my initial reservations, it's been fun. Mostly, I'm sad because it means I get to see less of Jin.

4. But One Pound Gospel seems ready to pick up from where Yukan Culb left in the crack department. I'm definitely catching this. Kame has been irresistible lately.

5. I can't help this. Jin in fedoras. ♥___♥

6. I was looking though my picture albums and saw this. It's a cap I took when I was tagged by brandedwhite in some 'what's your desktop' meme, but completely forgot all about it. Eeps. Anyway. This is my working laptop so it's not particularly interesting. And my wallpaper has changed to Ryopi since.

7. I love Gomen ne Juliet every single time Yamapi performs it.

8. I can't stop listening to Ai nante.

9. Lips. Ahahaha. I hope the cd jacket has imprints of all their lips. Or better yet, zoomins of their actual lips.

DHED

2007-11-09T06:40:03Z

JIN IN POPEYE WHAT THE HELL.

I am now an incoherent puddle of goo.

Three Episodes Later

2007-11-05T12:53:45Z

It rather sucks. D=

Yoko: Probably the best actor amongst the six. Yoko carries off the superior air of Seishiro really well. He's stable, calm, cool, collected and is constantly pinching the bridge of his nose due to the childish antics of the other five. Yoko's perpetual long suffering look is probably not faked, considering the acting standards of his fellow screenmates. Yoko, I understand how you feel and offer you my sympathies. (Ps; You look hotter than Kashii Yu in that wedding gown)

Junno: Junno actually surprised me. He's acting is not the best but it's bearable. I expected him to pile on the charm too thick (as he is prone to do. Am I the only one getting sick of his 'Iriguchi Deguchi Taguchi Desu'? I mean, you'd think they'd realise that it becomes stale after the first 115 times or so) but strangely, he seems to be growing quite well into his character. I actually like his blonde hair. It makes him stand out and gives him even more of a princely air.

Suzuki Emi: I'm gonna be honest here. I dislike Suzuki Emi. I wasn't happy that she was cast for Yukan Club because everyone knows she's a slut who gyrates towards Johnny's boys like Jin to blonde moments. Having the opportunity to act with three Johnny's must make her feel like Jin in LA. Before Yukan Club, I would have grudgingly admitted that she was pretty. In the skanky way. But now, I just think she's Ugly in too much makeup. (A bit like Koda Kumi but Koda Kumi is hot and not shaped like a chopstick with boobs. Urgh.) All she does in this show is try to pout cutely, which totally fails because hello girl~ you should have noticed with the amount of time you spend in front of the mirror in Yukan Club, but you are not Morning Musume.

Kashii Yu: What is with Yukan club and casting girls I don't like. I hated Kashii Yu in Deathnote. Her personality was as flat as her hair then, and I couldn't be happier when she was killed by her boyfriend (Deathnote was a long time ago but I hope I'm not giving spoilers D=). A change in hairstyle and an overhaul in personailty later, I'm actually starting to like her. This girl has spunk and while her acting still needs improvement, she's getting there. Perhaps it's her similar look of long suffering as Yoko that warms me to her.

Minami: Minami No-First-Name is pretty and cool, but. She over-acts way too much for my liking. Oh, Minami. You should have been able to shine in your given role. Yuri is such a fun character to act. She's adorable and feisty and the girls love her. Maybe it's the director's fault. Still, it seems Minami is not yet an established actor. There's potential though, and I hope, flop as Yukan Club may seem to be, it opens doors for her.

Jin: Jin. Oh, Jin. I love you. I really, really do. And I hate to break this to you, but you're in desperate need of acting classes. You were the depending factor on whether this show will tank or not, and you failed to deliver. I feel really bad because I can see you trying. Well, it's not working. ;__; You know it's not working when ratings are averaging a, well, bottomline average, despite your sparkly eyes and cute quirk of lips and general prettiness. I'm sorry. Maybe I expected too much because it's you, Jin, and you're all hyped up by the media and everything. But. Ratings make me sad. It's a given Yukan Club cannot possibly beat Fuku-top-of-the-polls-yama's Galileo but I hoped for satisfactory results at least. I desperately wish that all these will take a turn for the better. YOU'RE TOO PRETTY NOT TO ACT. Buck up, pretty boy, because I'd love to see you stay in the acting industry for longer and develop your talents (hey, I insist that it's there, somewhere and not just limited to twisting hips).

In summary, I really hoped that Yukan Club would be much better than this, the drama being Jin's first lead and all. But though I giggle and squeal and flail alot when I watch the show, I'm still stuck with the impression that it kinda sucked. The plot is no good, and while I appreciate that it's meant to be crack, a show without depth just doesn't cut it for me. =((( The next episode does look better though, because scary houses and creepy old ladies and dolls' heads, ftw. I admit I might have set my expectations too high from the onset and this is an unfair judgement, but no one hopes more than me, that the show does see improvement over time.

Whew, that was way longer than I intended.

Seriously, if Yukan Club doesn't improve, I'll still watch it. Not for Jin (yeeaahhhh rriiiiiggghht) but because Keep the Faith is the most awesome song of KAT-TUN's to date.

Hay, an update!

2007-10-25T11:35:14Z

So. School feels like a bulldozer right now. Everytime I log on to LJ, I shinkansen past everything, which means I probably miss half the juicy stuff. *sighs* I'm so sorry for the neglect! You know things are bad when I haven't watched the first episode of Yuukan Club yet (sneaks in lectures do not count!). And I believe it's just gonna get worse as we near the end of the term.

Oh snap! I just found out about the NewS PV. GREAT. NOW I CAN NEVER CATCH UP. D= School sucks. I want to flail about business suits and wedding gowns (YOKOOOOOO~) and Chinen Yuri (HIS CHEEKS ARE SO CHUBBY I WANT TO PINCH THEM) too but I'm like one step behind everyone and by the time I've watched everything it's all gonna be so last season. *WAILS!*

Of course, the humdrums of my life is about as interesting as a fruitfly on the wall. A dead fruitfly on the wall. So it doesn't really bear repeating (actually, I do realise I've just spent the last few minutes whining about it).

In order to make this post less of a pointless rant, I'm gonna attempt to relate science to JE. How? Well, if you're fanatic and desperate enough like me, you'll start to see that everything links to JE.

PRETTY ISN'T HE.

This is my favourite picture of Jin ever. I mean JIN IN BED. COME HITHER GAZE. LIDDED, BEDROOM EYES. POUTY, GLOSSY LIPS. TOUSLED HAIR. JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF CHEST PEEKING OUT OF HIS SHIRT. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY COMPARE.

Apart from looking like a scientific miracle, how is this related to science, you ask. I mean, we all know almost everyone in JE is a scientific miracle. Ryo's tongue for example, would probably be more effective than a scapel.

According to my professor, who quoted from scientific journals, the woman's reproductive ability is at its peak before twenty. The longer a woman puts off having a baby once she reaches puberty, the lesser the chance of the baby inhereting the best genes. Jin's mother gave birth to him when she was 14. DONT YOU FEEL THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING.

And if you feel you need more evidence to be convinced;

I believe his mom gave birth to him when she was 20-21. Yamapi is possibly the most perfect person I've ever seen. Granted, 20 might be later than 14 but you know, his mom might have been a late developer. XD

What this means is that I should go try to conceive now. So excuse me while I go find a mate to have sex.

Dear Johnny

2007-10-16T13:39:53Z

Dear Mr/Ms/Mrs Kitagawa Johnny/Mary,

I have less than 100,000yen in my bank account, some of which contributes to trivial stuff like living expenses. As much as I attempt to eat, sleep and live The Boys, I don't suppose CDs and photobook paper taste very nice. In fact, they might be rather hard to chew on and will probably give me a bad case of indigestion. If I fall sick, I cannot contribute as much to your noble cause. Also keep in mind that some of The Boys' target audience are 12 year olds and cannot afford to give you the large sum you are demanding.

If you really want to maximise your gain, I suggest you either lower the price of The Goods or try to release them at different dates. Different dates here being about a month or more apart (since this is when we get our pay) and not a mere 2 weeks' difference. Also, it might not be a good idea to dump everything on us at one go. I'm referring to your release of more than one item at the same time (Single and DVD/Album). Not only are some of us denied the choice of getting both, we may also be struck by heart attacks due to intense excitement. As I have proven earlier, you do have a vested interest in ensuring our good health.

I hope you take my suggestions to heart. This benefits everyone after all.

Most sincerely,
xswindz

I Like to Combine Fandom with Real Life

2007-10-11T13:28:07Z

You'd think that by doing routine leg-lifts almost daily, my thighs would have the decency not to jiggle.

But NOOOOOOOO.

Obviously, Mr High-And-Mighty-I-Have-A-Mind-Of-My-Own Thighs are waaaayyy above listening to me.

So there I was walking along, minding my own business when I happened to glance over at the glass planes of the train station, AND THERE THEY WERE! Happily jiggling away without a care in the world! They practically waved their tiny little hands at me and said, 'IN YOUR FACE, WOMEN'. DDD= There're better ways to get my attention, guys.

Sooo, in an admirable bid to get rid of the persistent cellulite, I have been doing regular leg lifts that involve me lying on my back and lifting my legs straight up in the air for about 30-50 seconds at a time. I learnt this useful technique in physical ed last time in school.

When I saw Kame and Ueda doing those nifty little leg lift motions in Cartoon KAT-TUN a while back, I thought it'd be fanstastic to bring some variation to my routine

This actually makes my stomach muscles pretty sore. 20 of those up-and-down motions and my legs start trembling. Kame and Ueda did them as if they were ridiculously easy. I'm obviously very lacking. T__T ~~Then again, it might have been because of those puny chicken legs that obviously have no weight at all, unlike mine.~~

When Yoga sensei came along, I was delighted. More muscle toning techniques to add to my routine! When I first tried this, I stayed in this position for 20 seconds. Initially, I was like 'Hay, this is a peace of cake. Why couldn't Yanagihara do it!'. Then I repeated the motions, 20 seconds per leg at a time. 1 minute into the routine, my joints were aching and my pose was comparable to Yanagihara's.

I wanted to try this even though I can't do sit-ups or the like to save my life. But because Jin did it I was determined. Plus, my brother jeered at Jin's "ouch" here and said that it's easy. And that Jin is a wimp. NO ONE CALLS MY MAN A WIMP.

I think I think I tore something important.

Of course, a Jin snuggling into the sheets makes the pain worth it. Who needs waist muscles anyway.

More of Yoga sensei this week. HOW DOES SHE DO THAT SO EASILY. IT HURTS. Plus, I think I actually strained more neck muscles trying to keep my head up than stomach muscles.

It doesn't hurt any less with the knees bent. Incidently, what is the point of the fluttering hand motions? All it did for me was make me feel stupid.

Yoga sensei has these gorgeous cellulite-less thighs. WHY CAN'T MY THIGHS BE MORE LIKE HERS! Maybe if I stick to the routine...

I guess in the meantime, I have to avoid looking at the lower portion of glass panels. Or mirrors.

On a totally random note; is it just me or does Jin's bruise seem to be fading? It's been more than a year.

Obligatory Introductory Post

2007-10-09T02:07:28Z

Well, I'd really hate to clutter up anyone's flist so I'll try my hand at this thing called LJ-cut

First things first. I suck at HTML and typing. Also, I'm new to this LJ thingy, so things are kinda confusing. I do hope I don't fail too much. XP

Well, fandom dominates my life, so most likely this journal will be mostly about fandom flail. I'm currently attempting to put aside important RL matters so I can watch my newly bought Never Ending Wonderful Story. Omg! Snow Express is so wonderful! And and! There's this fantastic dance segment that is just. So. Hot. But sadly, I can't understand Japanese so I haven't watched the documentary that apparently has much member-ai.

Unfortunately, I'm in the U now, so that means I really can't afford to neglect RL matters. Particularly homework. Bleh. I take solace in the fact that I have the same major as Yamapi. What. Every single thing we have in common should be noted down ~~so that if I ever marry him we'd have stuff to talk about~~ This also means that I might not have the time to read certain entries or post as often as I'd like to. D=

Um I guess that's really all for now. Hope that I'd actually be as active as I'd like to!
