He's everywhere lol

Just now I was watching Jounetsu Tairiku with Kuriyama Chiaki. There's a scene where she's shopping in Shibuya, and...

Can you see who's on the billboard at the end of the road? ;D
*close up*

He's was seriously EVERYWHERE during Loveless promotion.
Actually I took one day to track all posters around Shibuya, I didn't count them yet and still have to finish editing all the videos I took when I was in Japan, but by this few seconds one I think you can see I really mean it when I said he was everywhere!

Short but Sweet - Day 1, 14:30

I was there, I saw him, got first row tickets, he was gorgeous and I can die without regrets now *_*
Well, I don't really have time and mood for long review, so few points.

It was first live, and he was EXTREMELY tensed! *poor* but later, after MC Ikuta Toma came *YES!!!!*, they did 3 songs and Pi's confidence got better ^O^
I was surprised, but he managed to make quite long and funny MC all by himself! And yeah, he wanted to make sure everybody knows: "I'm not stingy!!" (refering to yesterday's MS lol).
His dance was like... PROFESSIONAL! He improved so much!!
Tour t-shirt has his photo! :D
He sang:
- new songs from Loveless
- an old solo song he wrote for NEWS and performed during NEWS concerts - Ao
- Michael Jackson's - Thriller @O@!
- Snow Express
- Daite Seniorita, Seishun Amigo, Yokubou Rain (with Toma :D), Colorful, Love Song, Yubiwa, Houkago Blues, Mola (the PV version)
and some others I don't remember now >_<;;;

I hope he will get over the stress and make me see even better performance tomorrow and day after tomorrow on final ^___^

Oricon Style that was out today has cover and 9 pages with Pi!

P.S. I want to see Massu's butai again!!!!!!!!!!! It was the funniest stage show I ever saw! And Massu was just awesome/cute/sweet/super-funny! :D If you have a chance, you SHOULD see this!

Yamapi holding hands with Keiko

When we were riding metro with Mao today, we saw a poster of Josei Seven magazine that had a Pi picture on it and the title of his "hands holding date" with Kitagawa Keiko. We run to convenience store and got it! It looks like Keiko was dating another guy in August, but now was spotted with Pi. So I guess his summer love is over already??

Sorry for bad quality, but I don't have a scanner here and had to use a camera.

Click photo for bigger size.

By the way, in the Friday magazine that was out today was a few pages article of Koki (KAT-TUN) going to Hawaii with a gravure idol. Seems like a lot is going on around boys lately XD

Unplanned meeting with Loveless :O

I totally didn't expect it!!
I have in my schedule to spend whole tomorrow (18.11) in Shibuya since early morning.
Today I was in Chiba and came back to hostel quite early, after going for dinner with a new-made-friend from hostel, I thought it's bad to waste the evening, so I decided to go to cinema for a movie "nakumonka" (because poster was on almost every station and I love the cast :D).

I asked a guy working in my hostel if there's any cinema near. He took it very seriously and made a research which cinema is playing it now. The nearest one was in Shibuya (and I'm almost on the other side of town, but nevermind...). He printed me a map, so I can find it easier.
When I reached Shibuya it was 5min till movie start (X_X) First I noticed surprised, that instead of NEWS DVD poster on HMV building is now Pi with Loveless :O
I run to the "cinema" only to find out it's wrong building (map was wrong!) >___<>___<;;;;;;; This time I found elevator, took a ride down and as soon as I walked out of it I saw a stand with Loveless CDs!!!!! WHY?! Release date is tomorrow!! Well, lecca single was out as well, so I guess it's normal they have it in store on the day before official release date.

Movie screeing was 10min late, so I still managed to see it from the beginning till the end ^__^ AWESOME! LOL (and there was Code Blue parody inside! XDD) btw. there was Nodame showed earlier ^^
After it ended, I checked all 3 biggest music shops in Shibuya to see Loveless displays.
Tsutaya, just like all displays they're making, was a kind of fan-made, with colorful notes and cut-and-paste pictures of Pi.
HMV was... normal, nothing special. But they had poster outside :)
But Tower Records, was just AMAZING! With candles (of course made of plastic and glass) put around a little screen featuring single CM, and a name Loveless was spreaded around on kind of blocks. Sorry, I sucks at descriptions >_< But even if I had a camera, I wouldn't be able to take a picture, because there was a girl watching so no one would do it XDD
I ordered my singles a month ago and they're already going to my home in Poland, so I just got lecca new single (because I love it ^O^) and went back to hostel.
Tomorrow I'll try to take some pictures and videos of Shibuya (^^)


Now a sad news... you know this Tofu shop from Nobuta, right? The one where Akira was living in. (I wrote about the house roof last time. Roof and Tofu shop are 2 different locations!)

So, I went to try some Tofu at this store today, but when I got there I saw it's GONE!
The land shop was standing on, now became a parking for a shrine that was behind it. I went to Tempura stand few meters away and asked an old lady what has happened. She told me the store was taken down around last year. And old couple that was running it all this time died, daughter took it over, but later decided to close it after all :(
It's such a shame! And I wanted to taste this tofu so badly y_y
But at least the Tempura was heavenly delicious ^O^

Pi in Shibuya

I went to Shibuya yesterday. Poster is still on! ^O^ my god~ he's even more good looking "live" *_* According to my schedule, tomorrow I'll be in Shinjuku, so I will check if Toshiba is still there as well ^___^

Here are some few-seconds clips I took with my camera. Sorry, it's a HD MTS, but I don't have time to convert it now into smaller size x_x;

It's longest one, I just couldn't take my eyes off it *_* and sorry for all the mess in video, I was fighting with umbrella on the wind x_x;;

Today I was checking on Nobuta locations in Sumida. Do you know this moment when Shuuji is giving Akira a ride home? There's a big board on the corner, with Coka-Cola logo.

Well, I didn't intend to do this as first, but it was a lunch time already, so I walked in and ordered ramen. This restaurant in February had a 50th anniversary!! (Congratulations! ^^) And it's run by an old man and a bit younger one (30-yo maybe? didn't ask if it's a father-son thing, but he reminded me so much the Tofu guy Akira was living with! XD). They are making ramen using soba noodles. It was delicious!! But more than that! We started to chat and when I told them I learned japanese from dramas and that Nobuta was my first, the younger one imediatelly mentioned that here nearby is a "house Yamashita was living in", of course he ment Akira (from Nobuta) was living in. I knew it's close, but no website had an address, so I was determinated to find it by myself. But it was even easier than I thought, because he took me there! :D It was a few meters away than I expected at first XD

Anyway, you should check out this place if you have time ^^
(but they don't speak english ._.;;)

When I'll be back to Poland, I'll open our community with Yamapi-locations (drama, school etc.), because it's private now. Then, you'll be able to find all the directions (^^)

Japan TV

Sana got interested in what I wrote about pay tv, so I thought I'll post more about it ne~
To watch 24hr TV, I registered on JapanTV and payed (with PayPal) $20 for a month of unlimited use.

Main page is in Japanese, but once you click "member login", you can choose english (top-right) and member page is in english as well (^^)

They have 5 basic channels: NTV (JapanTV), TBS, FujiTV, Asahi TV and TV Tokyo.

Unlike Keyholetv:
- you don't have to install any software (they're streaming videos through windowa media player)
- if you have good connection image is not freezing, but it's better to tune in few minutes earlier, because the longer you watch, the better it gets :)
- sound is MUCH better! you can actually listen to music shows!

Today I was watching ItteQ (after 24hr tv imoto asked tegoshi about promised kiss, and...! watch it once it's for downlad ;D), I took few caps to show you quality. I didn't edit or resize them.
First is regular player and next are full screen.

I watched Oshareism with Imoto today as well, and just had to add it!! They invited Popteen model to stylize Imoto into Gyauro. Could you ever imagine she can be this pretty!?!! *shock!*

ebay sale

I don't like the idea of promoting it here, but I have some brand new magazines with Yamapi for sale on ebay.
If you like, take a look at:

Vivi 9/2009
Popeye 9/2009
+act mini 6/2009
Toshiba flyers

I never used this account before, so have no comments yet x_x;;;

24 hours TV

I made it~!!
My own marathon. I came back from work on Saturday, got 5 hrs of sleep, after waking up I made some food and for another 27 hrs was watching 24hrsTV. I even registered on payed site to see it with nice quality and without noise ^^;;
Then 3hrs of sleep and to work again. So I couldn't even make a post earlier.
Before it started I thought I won't make it, but somehow got motivation and couldn't give up till the end. I'm so proud of myself~! :)

I don't regret a single bit, and I loved every minute of it!

Otsukaresamadeshita, minna-san!



Now it's time for Buzzer Beat! :D

Once more, Polish only! m(_)m

Jesteśmy w trakcie przyjmowania sierpniowego zamówienia i trochę tu jeszcze zamętu, ale wygląda na to że chyba uda się nam te plany z aukcjami dłużej pociągnąć :)

Po tym jak wystawiłyśmy Duet i Fool's Mate I.S., które sprzedały się w ciągu paru minut, postanowiłyśmy założyć przynajmniej prowizoryczną stronę do naszych aukcji, żeby ludzie widzieli co jesteśmy w stanie sprowadzić.
Nie ma jeszcze tytułu i wymaga podszlifowania, ale zapraszam! :)

http://j-p-polska.blogspot.com/

Wczoraj dotarła do nas nad druga część zamówienia, ale ponieważ trafiła na moment kiedy mamy piekło w pracy, wystawienie jej może trochę zająć (najprawdopodobniej skończymy ją jutro, pojutrze).
Część trzecia będzie prawdopodobnie w przyszłym tygodniu (^^)

Drama food

Did you ever watch food in a drama and wondered how it taste? I have it all the time *laughs*

French Toast in 3rd episode of Buzzer Beat was actually 2nd time I saw it in drama (First was in Voice).

I think it's quite popular in France or USA, but we don't do it here. So I searched for recipe and tried to make it today. First time ever I thought maple syrup is delicious! I love it! :D (my mom too! ^^)
If you want to try making it: French Toast Recipe

Second, so famous in BB, Naoki's Omurice.

Actually it's a japanese dish that I most often make. My sister is always asking for seconds! Once I made is for breakfast when my work mates were staying overnight. Since then it famous at my work as well ^___^

It's super easy to make, with stuff usually everybody have at home.
I learned it from here: Omurice Recipe

I do also variations, like using sausage when I don't have meat (advice: salami is NOT a good idea ^^;;;) or adding ketchup for pizza (with oregano etc.). It's always delicious! And fun ;D

Message only for my Polish readers (sorry!)

Razem z koleżanką zaczęłyśmy sprzedaż Japońskich magazynów na allegro :)

Obie byłyśmy zawiedzione, że na tańszych sklepach jest taki mały wybór i postanowiłyśmy przy okazji sprowadzania magazynów dla siebie, dodawać do zamówienia też inne, które później umieszczamy na allegro. W ten sposób nie musimy płacić po 150zł za sztukę, bo im więcej zamawiamy, tym taniej to wychodzi ^___^

Kolejne zamówienie robimy w sierpniu. Opcjonalnie wybrałyśmy datę 20.08, ale istnieje możliwość że zrobimy je kilka dni wcześniej.

Cały czas przyjmujemy zamówienia na magazyny. Oczywiście prośba o magazyn nic nie kosztuje! Bo same nie wiemy ile za nie zapłacimy aż do momentu kiedy do nas dotrą (musimy płacić min. 7% podatku celnego >_<#).

Jeśli są jakieś magazyny których szukasz, daj znać a my sprawdzimy czy są dostępne. Cała sprzedaż odbywa się przez allegro. Jeśli będziemy wystawiać magazyn o który wcześniej prosiłaś/prosiłeś, to powiadomimy cię o tym na 2 dni wcześniej.

W tej chwili magazyny są do licytacji, ponieważ chciałyśmy aby jak najwięcej osób na allegro zobaczyło naszą ofertę. Te które przyjdą następnym zamówieniem będą już z opcją "Kup Teraz".

Przez swoje konto sprzedaję gazety związane z popem i modą.

U mojej koleżanki znajdziecie jrock, visual i film.

Możesz też sprawdzić wszystkie aukcje naraz ^^ (do każdej aukcji w której wystawiamy NOWE magazyny, dodajemy "j_p" w tytule)

Chanchitos

I didn't want to post anything about it until I'd check the shop by myself if it's trustable.
It came out fine (^^) I was waiting 2 weeks for delivery, but today my Chanchitos arrived!! So cute~!

I got 3 of them, 1 for me and 2 for my friends (^^)

If you don't know what conncetion they have with Yamapi, check out first 1:20min of this video ;)



The note attached to it says it all:
"In the small village of Pomaire, Chile, it is believed that "chanchitos", little pigs, bring good luck. Three legged chanchitos are especially fortunate and are traditionally given to friends as a token of goodwill and love."

I saw it on sale in few internet shops, but this one is the best!
The Hunger Site

What's more! "The Hunger Site will fund 25.0 cups of food for each Chilean Good Luck Pig purchased"

Check also other goods they have, loads of cute things! <3

Super Happy Day!!

First part of my Amazon order arrived!! :D

Second part of my order (bigger!) is coming today or tomorrow. Will have a busy weekend scanning these *__*

Yamapi vs Kumi highlight

I didn't want to watch it until real HQ will appear on DA, but couldn't resist aymore!

It was so cute I thought I'll give few highlight, but without spoilers!! :)
They're not so much in order, I just noted best parts while watching it (^^);;

You can download raw from yamapi-blue

All the time Ishibashi san was trying to match them together by asking Pi few times "What do you think of such a woman who [...]?". But Pi seemed defesive, only answering "Daijoubu desu" ("It's OK") *laughs*

Anyway, it all started when Ishibashi prised Kumi's perfumes and asked Pi what he thinks while trying to wave a bit of that scent in his direction, but then "I'm sorry my nose is stuck and I can't smell it" *laughs*

From the moment they started to talk about sea, Pi seemed more relaxed. Kumi mentioned the same thing as in latests Music Fair, that she loves sea and tends to fall for guys after seeing them on the beach, even through she would never be interested in them in different situation. Like, getting carried away by the mood.
When asked by Ishibashi if she's in love now, she said "Yes. I'm always in love." She could be joking at some point (and just meant she fall for guys easily, because her last bf I heard of was Nakai), but Pi took it seriously.

When Yamapi said he's eating just rice with simple toppings like egg for breakfast, Kumi felt sorry for him and said "When I hear something like that I would like to go and cook for him"
Ishibashi: "What do you think?"
Pi: "Daijoubu desu" *laughs*
And when they started to talk how cold Pi is by just answering that, and that he should be more like "Please, you have to come", he replied "But she said she have someone she's in love with."

Later, when Kumi said she's taking cooking lessons, and Ishibashi once again asked Pi, he suddenly answered "Ii to omoimasu." ("I think it's nice") and made even Kumi shocked with different answer.

I love Kumi for her open, cheerful and natural character, and once you watch the full video with subbs you'll realize she's not just an empty "blondie", but very smart person ^^
She mentioned here how she loves calories, but she's easily getting fat and have to be careful about it, like eating alone (to not be tempted) when rest of dancers are having party. And Pi asked what he thinks about it, says it's ok and advice her she should play some more/have more fun.

Kumi is not good with electronics, and writes her lyrics by hand, but Pi is writing them on computer. He also want to have a speaker in a bath, because it's the only place where he can't listen music, and he would like to do it all the time *laughs*
He's listening to a lot of foreign music, usually downloading top 20 hits and playing them all the time.

Buzzer Beat Promo

I'm behind with my project, so can't post much these days, because I have to catch up. Even while watching the BB promotions in tv shows I'm still working. But Buzzer Beat SP totally got me sucked in. It's the best drama promo I saw up till now. It's bringing a lot of new material from makings and backstages, without much spoilers. It was also extremely funny (Ito Hideaki rulez! ^o^), and showing Yamapi from a new side that we didn't saw before. I was shocked when Pi was interviewing Igarashi Kei, asking him about things like: when he first started basketball or what he's doing on his days off. It's the first time I saw him so engrossed in a talk, could tell he was working hard (because he's not used to it).

Once the video is out for download, everybody should check it!

EDIT: They are... They're re-broadcasting Proposal Daisakusen on the same day of the week as Buzzer Beat?! 7th episode started just after BB Promo. Isn't that too much of Pi at once? *laughs*

Pi and super cute alpaca

I just came back from work and looked around mails and so on, when I realized today first episode of Buzzer Beat will be on air, so I played Fuji TV channel on KeyHoleTV.
And there was Pi, Keiko and Saki live on some tv show :D
When I turned it on, they just started to talk about BB and showed some extra scenes that I didn't saw before (or only in magazines). After VTR about Alpacas, they brought two SUPER CUTE to studio.
Yamapi was so into petting white one that he didn't listen. So when tv announcer asked him a question about Alpacas he had to appologize *laughs*
But I'm sure everybody will forgive him, they were really cute!
