I don't think I made it in Japanese time, but it's still 11th here (^^);;
Actually today we have a national holidays! Nevermind *laughs*

Tegoshi! Happy Birthday!!
オメデト！ ^-^)ノ －－－＝＝ΞΞΞ☆ 幸運の星

I didn't had much time or choice, so I'm uploading today old clip of Tegoshi in Music Station from 2006, singing Sunnadokei. There's also short talk part in it, where he tells about getting encouragement mails from Ryo and Pi about his first solo performance (^^)

2005 NEWS spring concert ending

I thought of what next I can upload from what I have on my drive (^^);;
These 2 fancams of Kirameki no kanata he, an 2005 Spring Concert ending comes from nomanymore.blogspot.com
They show things you usually don't see on official videos, like Koyama behind camera, Uchi pulling up his pants or gossiping with Pi about fans XD
It's really cute and worth seeing (^^) Whole clip is cut in 2 smaller parts.

Yesterday I was watching in tv woman's volleyball Poland vs. Japan. It was live broadcast from Japan. All the time my sis was looking for Hey!Say!JUMP members, and said she saw them once, but could as well hallucinating *laughs* Well, according oto JE website they're on games since yesterday, but I doubt our tv will ever show them :(
BUT! They songs were played during every technical break (^^) Also there was one girl holding a sign saying "Hey!Say!JUMP". It was pretty amazing~! To know Johnny's are so close!! I wonder if NEWS was brodcasted here the same way~

I didn't ahd time to download the subbed videos so I watch catching up on them last night. I was so shocked to see NEWShFAN subbed GRAPEVINE (Budou no Ki)!!!!!
Grab it here!!

I posted chinese subbed version before (here). I was waiting a year for this project and it's finally released~!! It's even more touching subbed. I jumped to the end today to see the letter part and cried 2 tissues already. No matter how many times I watch it, it's always making me cry buckets. NEWShFAN guessed Yamapi was at the same stage of his life as a character he's playing, and she was right. Pi cried even when her read the script!! Later I found transation of Yamapi's review on Hadaka no Johnny's Forum

You know, this is a bit late because I always forget to write about it, but I suddenly realized who's the guy playing with Pi in Toshiba CMs! *laughs*
Tamura Masakazu played famous detective Furuhata Ninzaburo. Yamapi even did his immitation in ProDai! When Kenzo was trying to hide from Rei his missing button *laughs*
Subbed by Love Song



Also Tegoshi was trying his immitation in old Domoto Kyoudai with NEWS from 2004.05.09
Somehow after I upload the part on blogger, the voice is delayed, sorry for that!
Subbed by BnS



I was throwing again pics from my mobile to laptop (^^)
I already feel summer~! I live in a town, but the are is really "on the edge". Sometimes I think it's the most relaxing place I've lived in. Here's a view I made minutes ago from my balcony

And in the evening, my neightborhood seen from fields:

On a walk with my dogs:

And other random pics from my garden, starting from blossoming apple tree :)

Sunrise and sunset around my home and on the way to work.

And at the end, my dog watching Yamapi when I'm sitting on my bed, chatting with ~mao~ *laughs*

re-open!! j-dramas reviews

I'm baaaack~!
I decided to re-open KenKen again and run it just the way I used to (^^)
Recently it became too much of a upload page than a blog...
I hope I can continue it the old way~
今からよろしくお願いします。

So the LJ feed for KenKen should be working again.

I fixed YesAsia links. I can't believe all LE of NEWS CDs are already sold out! I was buying Hoshi wo Mezashite in September 2007, half a year after release it was still avilable. But now CDs are disappearing even before release. But I guess it's a good sign because it means more people is buying original goods (^^)

I also added more recent links:

Otakara Photo & Episode NEWS Kiseki -2005-2008

Aiaigasa (Normal Edition)(Japan Version)

Aiaigasa (SINGLE+DVD)(First Press Limited Edition)(Japan Version)

Because there wasn't much going on around Pi, I could catch up on few dramas I wanted to see (^^)
First, Nya! released first episode on Osen with Uchi. They even did it in two different resolutions, icluding 1280x720! Thank you guys!!! (^O^)
Honestly, I'm still stuck after Isshun no Kaze ni Nare 2nd episode and don't know when I'll finish it because drama is boring. But I'll continue Osen, it's pretty funny! Check for yourself at the part I cut off (^^)

Handa Sen is the "okami" (proprietress) of a long-standing restaurant in one of the lower parts of Tokyo. Though she is normally airheaded and loves to drink, she has an impressive mastery of a wide range skills, from cooking to ceramics to calligraphy. While the drama follows various events surrounding the restaurant, one of the series' highlights is its illustration of Japanese food and culture.

Osen at DramaWiki
Get it from DAddicts

Second drama is Hokaben. Althrought Candypop released only 1st episode subbed till now, I saw it up to 3rd ep. RAW.

Domoto Akari is an idealistic lawyer who wants to "rescue the weak." She joins a large law office, though she is assigned to a lowly department whose only other member is her boss, who was transferred there after making a mistake during a case.

from DramaWiki

Of course drama is centered on Ueto Aya, but Shige's appearing quite often as well. He makes me laugh everytime. His style and the way he's walking is so obviously like an idol and not a lawyer at all *laughs*
It's not a drama I would highly recommend, but if you have time and love Shige, you can see it (^^);;

Hokaben at DramaWiki

I thought I won't watch Gokusen3 because I'm not into juniors, but since SARS subbed it then why not try it (^^);;
Theme didn't change and it's pretty predictable what will happen, but I still enjoy it (^^) And I was so shocked to see Miura Haruma as one of class leaders!! (*O*) I love this guy since I watched Koizora, he's amazing~!

But seeing he's only 18yo, I feel old myself (T_T)

Gokusen3 at DramaWiki
Get it from DAddicts

The other two don't have any connection with Johnny's, but they're super funny and I like them a lot (^^)
Zettai Kareshi (Absolute Boyfriend) I first read as a manga and loved it a lot!! I hoped they would make it into anime, but I never dreamed they will turn it into drama!!
They changed storyline and it's no longer story of a high school girl, but a grown up office lady. But the rest is pretty similar (^^)
Riko, shy girl who's unlucky with her lovelife, is buying herself a robot lover who's looking exactly like a human being.

Zettai Kareshi at DramaWiki
Get it from DAddicts

Aibu Saki (who's playing Riko) have quite a history with JE. First she was rumored to be dating Ryo-chan, they starred n 2 dramas together: Ganbatte Ikimasshoi! and Attention Please. Later she was like a break in Abiru rumors, after someone supposedly saw her on a date with Yamapi. They were on a boat together. I've heard some fans even accepted they relationship! But they haven't been seen together since then. And now she's dating Nagase Tomoya from Tokio, they were even spotted toghether:

Well, she's cute so I can forgive (^^);;

And finally, the last one I wanted to recommend, Hotaru no Hikari.

Hotaru works for a famous interior design company. It's a glamorous job but Hotaru's private life is totally the opposite of glamorous. She lives alone, and when she isn't working she's mostly lazing about her rented house in training wear. She's not interested in men. In fact, she isn't interested in anything. "I'd rather lay around than fool around," is her motto.

Her landlord is a bar owner, and one day his son, who has just separated from his wife, comes to inspect the rental property, not knowing that someone is living there. He is shocked at the mess, but not as shocked as Hotaru. He turns out to be her boss, Takano.

from DramaWiki

I watched it streamed online from anzv.tv. I didn't know Ayase Haruka can be so good and funny in comedy drama. I was crying with laugher seeing her rolling on the floor, sleeping under newspaper or getting paralised when getting mail from her crush.
I have to admit I'm so much like her in this drama *laughs*
To connect her with Yamapi, some of you might remember her from drama Sore wa, Totsuzen, Arashi no you ni..., where she was playing Pi's childhood friend.

*sigh* that was a long post! Forgive me spamming (^^);;

recent TV news + Tomadoi Nagara (SC 2005.07.10)

Time for small update.
Many videos and less talking *laughs*
I guess after few edits it's not longer accurate *laughs*

Like I mentioned last time, here are some clips from latest events happening around NEWS. Some of them are few weeks old, but I really didn't had time to update them back then.

Credits for them all goes to Windjp

I watched today Lost Time Life episode with Koyama. Well, Kei-chan was sweet as always, but I guess he should stay away from tragic roles (^^);; Or maybe it was just the way this drama was made, but I just couldn't get into mood :/ I was more touched with his phone talk with mother, than with ending. It just happened too fast...
Any requests? I have RAW of this episode in HQ version 1280 x 720, 934MB :D
And you don't really need to watch first episode to understand it (I didn't *laughs*)
Project has been taken by new group Candypop Fansubs
btw. I also have HQ RAW of Kei-chan's episode of Yukan Club

There are many things I always forget to write here, a lot of info X(
First I think "ah, everybody saw it already". But then, I realize not everybody have accounts on LJ and various forums...
So for them, I'll do my best to keep this blog updated with recent news, even if I see them all over internet *laughs*

So going back...

CDTV aired ranking "Which star I wish to be my lover".
After all it was shock to find there 3 NEWS members.

no.4 Yamashita Tomohisa
no.12 Masuda Takahisa
no.13 Nishikido Ryo

Massu higher than Ryo?! How?! Why?!! (@_@)
Not that I have something against, just in such moments I realize I don't understand japanese audience at all! XD


It's been confirmed Proposal Daisakusen Special will be at 9pm (Fuji TV), on 25th March.
According to reviews, this time ending will please audience as it will have beautiful kissing scene with sea in background. Also some healthy running again *laughs*
Some of scenes were made on Oahu, Waikiki in Hawaii, where Yamapi enjoyed surfing during breaks in filming.
For Pi, wedding have an image of Hawaii, with sea near it's like a dream. But he don't care where his wedding will happen, anywhere will be fine *laughs*

Half an hour ago, Mezamashi tv aired report about Proposal Daisakusen SP!!
So expect it soon for download :)

NEWS no SC BOX 2004.11.14

I thought I should upload something finally ne (^^);;
It's just one video because I have left 3 days with MU premium and want to use them as much as it's possible.
Anyway, here's NEWS no Shonen Club BOX from Shonen Club 2004.11.14



[Mediafire]
[Sendspace]
[Megaupload]

It's like a summary of what happened to members recently.
Shige: when do you feel most lonely?
When he came to studio that day and shouted "Good morning!" but no one answered *laughs*
Kusano: Scoop inside NEWS members. (I think it means, big event that happened recently inside NEWS)
With Koyama and Shige, they mention being hypnotized during Ya-Ya-yah shooting, and how Kusano confessed his love to Koyama and Shige turned into chicken (it was hilarious!! *laughs* This video was subbed by NEWShFAN)
Massu: when do you feel most lonely?
When coming back from going around park on roller blades (NEWS is making fun of him, because it looks like he's crying when telling the story *laughs*)
Ryo: is reading a card from fan who brake up with her boyfriend after 3 years relationship. She's very sad and even friend are not able to cheer her up, so she's asking NEWS members for advice how to get over her ex.
They are amazed with relationship that leasted 3 years. Uchi is giving some smart remark that maybe he wasn't the right person. That there are many other men and that she should try to meet them and find someone suitable.
At the end Koyama ask Yamapi about recent big event, but at first he says nothing happened. After Koyama's imitation of footbal (*laughs*), he finally admits meeting Beckham. He went to Spain for CM shooting.
Koyama: "Our leader is doing this kind of job! Isn't it amazing!"
And finally announcement of NEWS Winter Concert 2004~2005.

Only one video, but loads of news to catch up on (^^);;

My order of AnAn on Japan Centre was cancelled :(
First I got message:
Your order status have now been changed to: Picking and Packing in Progress.
And on next day:
Unfortunately, an an Issue number 1597 is completely sold out and we are not getting any more. Hence I have to cancel your order.
*no comment*

So now I had to take it from YesAsia, but I include in order Arashi CD for my sis, so we had free shipping :)
But I'm too afraid that after 21 days I'll receive message from YA saying: our suppliers have informed us that the following item(s) is/are currently not available, like it happened with my CINEMA SQUARE 15 last month.
Fortunately, ~mao~ saved me here by helping to get it from Singapore!!
I'll love you forever for that~!!


If you're also interested in buying this magazine, watchful21 made really nice list of internet sources where you can get it.
Better hurry up because as I've noticed on publisher's (Magazine House) official website, they don't have it in stock anymore. It means that what's in shop is all that is left of this issue.

Another credit to ~mao~ for her amazing memory! :D
During our regular chatting on msn we actually found out when Pi had this Anan photosession! (^^)
It all started from this article, it says photoshoot with model from Ukraine was made during NEWS tour, and in order to prepare for this session, Yamapi was dieting! (in my opinion he was out of his mind =_=)
Then ~mao~ remembered him mentioning something in his Nikki about diet. And it was there!! In post from 17th December 2007:

In fact these past few days I’ve completed my first time dieting.
So hard ah (laughs)
But finally I’ve finished!
Credits for translation xmoonprincessx (go there for full entry)

So session must've been closely around this date :)

Another info from Pi's Nikki is his appearance in Hey!Hey!Hey! Music Champ! :D
But there's still no official date when it will be aired.
EDIT: the NEWS episode will be aired on 25th Feb.
Thank you okanedaisuki for information :D

Also, according to JE Official website:

- Hadashi no Cinderella Boy will theme song for Uchi and Ryo's new drama Isshun no Kaze ni Nare (drama will be aired 4 days in a row between 25-28 Feb. on Fuji tv)

- Taiyou no Namida will be release in karaoke clubs in Japan with video clip. I'm not really sure if it's the same as pv, but it's limited and will be available only between 20-25 February 2008
Note: all songs in karaoke clubs are screened with videos not related to artist in any way. So this is something really rare!

- J-web will have special board with messages from NEWS members about Taiyou no Namida. It will be available from 20th Feb. to midnight of 26th March 2008

I think that's it for now.
I have some videos from recent news like mezamashi tv, and I'm not sure if everybody saw them already, but I'll post them next time.

Oh! I almost forgot... I've uploaded on Mediafire clip from other Shonen Club clip San Kyoudai wo Abake with Kame, Yokoyama, Subaru, Yasu, Ryo and Uchi.
I did it to ask NEWShFAN for subbing it, because it's really funny, but I didn't know it has been already done by HesF (^^);;
Anyway, I didn't want to waste the link :)

Johnny's Countdown 03-04 + Shabake + Fever to Future in MS

Sorry for late post m(_)m
Here are last videos that were requested in poll. I've been uploading the 2nd day already and I think it will still take some time before I'll be done with all links, but please be patient (^^);;

Soon after I'll make all request that I got recently, thank you for them :)

There's not much NEWS, but still you can see:

- backstage shootings
- NEWS and Kat-Tun traveling in the same car, except for Pi who travel by himself lol
- News Nippon

By accident I also uploaded Special for this countdown. It's basicly the same, but in a form of tv broadcast. There's no NEWS, except for few times when camera shows Pi, Koyama and Ryo between other senpais, but if you want it anyway, here is Sendspace link

Utaban 2005.07.07 + Ryo x Remioromen

Here come another portion of movies you voted for in poll (^^)

First NEWS in Utaban 2005.07.07 with TEPPEN.
If you wonder what's going on with all these comedians, they show up when certain keyword appear. And one is particullary angry because his turn never comes up, and always blame Nakai and later NEWS for it lol
I love to see how much Yamapi laugh out loud in this show (^^)



Mediafire [.001] [.002] [.003]
[Sendspace]
[Megaupload]

First topic is coming from Koyama: "Except for Yamashita-kun".
What Kei-chan means is, from whole NEWS, Utaban hosts remeber only Yamapi's name. But obviously that's not true because they remember foot sole (Ryo-chan) lol

Pi is talking about his favourite lunch being brought to Utaban, and he's wondering if he can take it out.

Uchi is worried about receipts. He travels a lot from Osaka and always takes receipt, and he wonder if she should cut expenses or not.

Next, the song they'll sing, TEPPEN, reached 1st place on BEST 10 ranking.

Tesshi's "first time in Las Vegas". Ryo and Uchi were busy so he went there with the remaining members of NEWS. Also saw Celine Dion.

Shige representing NEWS, want to ask for a favour, but I don't really get what he means, gomen.

Coming back to lost question: "what would you do if you get 1 month of holidays". Pi would like to go to sea (as usual lol) And I guess Ryo would like to go to Las Vegas because he missed last time.
When NEWS was created, Kusano teacher's daughter asked for an autograph. When he give it to her, and after that suddenly teacher gave him an A.

"On the train..." from Koyama. After coming back from NEWS concert he saw girls reading NEWS phamplet on the same train. And it seems that when they were on Kei-chan's page, they said "it's not Koyama's face" He was really shocked about it.

Uchi "Greatful for movie", but he speaks too fast, sorry!

Last topic "if you were to play instrument"
And that's interupted by NEWS promoting Fuji tv, when it's actually TBS airing Utaban.
After coming back to question Yamapi talks about Dragonzakura where he play on trumpet. And when Nakai asks if anyone could play something here, light goes off as a sign Utaban time's over. I think you can get the rest ne (^^)

Next video is Ryo interviewing Remioromen in 2006.06.09 Bokura No Ongaku.
If you ever wonder who they are, two of Remioromen's songs were for Ryo-chan's drama 1 Litre of Tear.
First Kona Yuki as a theme song for drama. And second 3/9, a song chosen by Ikeuchi Aya's class for choir competition.

Sorry for betraing Pipi ne, but I really wanted to know what this interview was about. Oh, there's Yamapi as well :)
Like they student's life together (^^)



Uchi's coming back to public!!!

Torrent and Pichan Nikki (blogging)

Sorry, there won't be any new video upload today. Recently I have a lot of downloads for MU and I always have to choose between downloading and uploading. When I do both I always hear complaints from my uncle about stealing whole internet speed lol
And today I decided to finish all the missing links form previous uploads.

I just felt like blogging a bit (^^)

I'll try to put next Utaban and Ryo video as soon as possible after I'm done with it.

EDIT: Holly cow!!! Uploading on MU through Mega Manager 7 files, all together over 1GB, took me only 5 minutes!!!! How?! Is it possible MU connected with Sendspace and took already uploaded files??? (because I did SS earlier, and only StandUp making took me 2 houres) *maji SHOCKED!*

I think it's been already a month as I'm seeding Nya!'s "little" projects on BT. Because when I wanted to get them myself there were no seeds, so I d/l them from MU and connect under BT. But recently there's no peers and I don't know how much longer I'll keep them. If you're interested, please go to Nya Forum and N!J Catnip section to get links. I'm seeding projects:
* Nishikido Ryo - Fish catching
* Uchi Hiroki - Fish Catching
* Akanishi Jin - Car Shrimp
* KAT-TUN - Voice Lessons with Aoki Sayaka

There's more news about pichan_daccha. After all Ruri removed it herself. She did it because of stupid fangirls. Sorry, but I can't find other words to describe it.
Ruri worked so hard to bring Pi's Nikki to fans outside of Japan, she respected copyrights and didn't upload his Nikki pics. She's done so much for us, but got complaints as respond.

Now she seems to work on new project and still think of re-opening these translations. So I beg all of you, please show her support and leave at least short note on her journal

OK, maybe I'll upload something anyway, it's out of order from poll, but it's small so I hope you'll forgive me m(_)m
I cut this out from Shonen Club Premium where Nagase Tomoya was a guest. It's a comment from Yamapi about them working together on drama Ikebukuro West Gate Park, and how Pi respects him.
