    <content type="html">Hiya guys! Long time no see! ^______^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just wanted to post something in this journal, about the History of Johnny's&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/DOCUME~1/violet2/LOCALS~1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;History of Johnny’s and Associates&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Johnny’s and Associates inc. (J&amp;amp;A) is a talent agency which was founded in 1992 by Johnny H.Kitagawa (current executive producer). Contrary to common belief and its history of producing boy-groups, J&amp;amp;A is an agency to promote “musical stars”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Kitagawa, being a Japanese-American who grew up in &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;Los Angeles&lt;/st1:city&gt;, had been working as a stage manager for a certain theater in the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;US&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, and were very much impressed with the show business. After going to &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Japan&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; (he got the Japanese nationality later on) to work, he took part in coaching a local baseball team at the US Army Washington Heights in his free time. That team (owned by his friend) had many members, and Kitagawa selected 4 good-looking boys among them to form a vocal group. This was Johnny’s, the first product Kitagawa offered, and the beginning of the long history of J&amp;amp;A.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Johnny’s rights were at first owned by Watanabe Production, with Kitagawa being the personal manager, but he declared independence in 1992, with the help of his sister Mary Kitagawa(current vice president of J&amp;amp;A), forming the basis of Johnny’s &amp;amp; Associates.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;The firm got the official permission as a Co.Ltd. At 1975.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;It took long for Watanabe Pro. to begin revenge in the boy-idol business: Their boys unit history begun in the 2000’s with D-boys.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;J&amp;amp;A had a long chain of producing a lot of boy-idol groups/stars after Johnny’s in the 70’s: Four Leaves, VIP, Johnny’s Jr. Special, etc., as well as Masaru Kosaka (father of Masato Kosaka of Johnny’s Jr), Jo Toyokawa, and Mayo Kawasaki. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;This agency has a yearning towards producing almost solely male talents, although there were a few groups who contained female singers as well.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;The epoch of J&amp;amp;A arrived with the Tanokin Trio (Toshihiko Tahara, Masahiko Kondo, and Yoshio Nomura) in 1979, when they starred in the famous TV series “Kinpachi Sensei (series 1)”. The three boys (with only Kondo still remaining in J&amp;amp;A) made their record (that was before the CD era) debut separately, but did joint concerts and appeared in TV variety shows, etc. and locked many of the girls’ hearts in Japan until their split in 1983, leaving J&amp;amp;A with 3 individual artists (Nomura became a guitarist in his own band, the Good-bye).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;The “Kinpachi” series retained a good connection to J&amp;amp;A on the following productions as well, always allowing 3 to 4 Johnny’s Jr. Boys starring in each of them.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;The Tanokin followers got also a quite stable popularity (especially Shonentai, the longest existing group till now, and Otokogumi, the first successful boys band from J&amp;amp;A, featuring Kenichi Okamoto, father of Keito Okamoto of Hey! Say! JUMP), but it expanded even more with the debut of Hikaru Genji in 1987.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;With 7 members (the still-existing in J&amp;amp;A being only Koji Uchiumi and Atsuhiro Sato), this group sung and danced on roller-skates, rising at once to stardom. They even won the “Nippon Record Award” with their million-seller hit “Paradise Ginga”. The group continued to be a living icon until their retirement in 1995 as a group.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Their replacement was done by SMAP (Sports, Music, Assembled People) who, at first, was not at all promising. Their debut single “Can’t Stop Lovin’” hasn’t sold that much copies as their Senpais (forgoers), and this group used to be the least favorite of the exec. producer Johnny Kitagawa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;The better side of SMAP came with the start of their appearances in variety shows, making people really laugh at them (a quite new phenomena in the Johnny’s talent world), which lead them to popularity. It was then the individual members’ talents begun to flourish: Nakai in MC, Kimura in acting, etc., which pushed SMAP more into the frontline.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Now they are the leading power in J&amp;amp;A, still making mega-hits and starring in most-seen TV shows.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Encouraged by the huge success of SMAP, J&amp;amp;A continued to form and debut many younger groups in the show business, each of them becoming extremely popular among the audience even outside &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Japan&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Following are the current existing solo and group artists in J&amp;amp;A:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol type="1" style="margin-top: 0in;" start="1"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Solo Artists&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Masahiko Kondo&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Koji Uchiumi&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Atsuhiro Sato&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Kenichi Okamoto&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol type="1" style="margin-top: 0in;" start="2"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Groups(with their debut year)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Shonentai (1985) - Noriyuki Higashiyama, Kazukiyo Nishikiori, and Katsuhide Uekusa (father of Yuta Uekusa of Johnny’s Jr.) &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Shonentai"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Formed as a rival group of Shibugakitai in a TV variety show “Young Best 10”, Shonentai is the longest group existing in J&amp;amp;A, possessing ultimate power on the agency. Their debut was a carefully thought-out one, placing 3 different coupling songs to their debut tune “Kamen-butoukai” with the covers being different designs as well.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They appeared in quite a few TV shows or even sung their original songs before their major debut, making the world know them already when the 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; single is out. This strategy is still carried out throughout their followers as well.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;One of the highlights in Shonentai works would be the annual “Playzone”, a musical whose theme changes every year, featuring the talents of the 3 veterans in Johnny’s world. The audience can capture the magnificent dancing of Higashiyama, with pure vocals from Uekusa, as well as the wistful jokes of Nishikiori on the same stage.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;An important aspect of this production is to introduce the singing/dancing talents of the younger generation.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Many Johnny’s Jr. Units have a chance to back dance, or even make their stage debut as an individual in a Playzone production. Shonentai even helped on a comeback of Hiroki Uchi (Ex. Kanjani Eight/News) and Hironori Kusano (Ex. News) to showbiz. It is a pity to let them retire from Playzone (This production would stop to feature Shonentai from 2009, letting the other ones taking opportunities to lead the show) as it is a rare occasion when the 3 guys perform together at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;SMAP (1991) – Masahiro Nakai, Takuya Kimura, Goro Inagaki, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, and Shingo Katori&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;a name="cutid2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="SMAP"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;They started out as “Skate Boys” (a unit of 12 skateboarders) who backed up Hikaru &lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="JA" style="font-family: &amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;;"&gt;　　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style=""&gt;Genji until these 5 and Katsuyuki Mori starred in TV series “Abunai Shounen 3” as SMAP.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style=""&gt;They were a group of 6 until Mori quitted J&amp;amp;A to pursue hi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;s career&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style=""&gt; as a motor cyclist in 1996.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Their late night show “SMAP X SMAP” is a long-standing favourite among the Japanese variety show fans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 35.4pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style=""&gt;TOKIO (1994) – Shigeru Joshima, Tatsuya Yamaguchi, Taichi Kokubun, Masahiro Matsuoka, and Tomoya Nagase&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name="cutid3"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="TOKIO"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 35.4pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Tokio was a selected unit of Johnny’s Jr., whose function was to back up the Senpais’ TV and concert performances.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They were the mainstays of Shonentai’s “Playzone” for many years.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;At the first few years, Nagase was not an official member, but rather a supporter when the unit was in need for one. As Tokio carried instruments to play a “back-band” for the Senpais, Nagase (who could not play one) used not to be in these kinds of situations with them. They had instead Hiromu Kojima as an original member, who has resigned J&amp;amp;A a little while before Tokio’s debut. That was when Nagase was called officially in the band to be the lead vocalist.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 35.4pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;As their origins being dancers, Tokio still insert some dance acts within their concerts, which makes them quite unique as a band.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 35.4pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;For most of the members being extremely good athletes, Tokio hosts their own show “Tetsuwan Dash” which features sportive actions to accomplish difficult missions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 35.4pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;V6 (1995) – Masayuki Sakamoto, Hiroshi Nagano, and Yoshihiko Inohara (as 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Century) with Go Morita, Ken Miyake, and Junichi Okada (as Coming Century)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid4"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="V6"&gt;The popularity of J&amp;amp;A artists helped their followers, Johnny’s Jr.s, to make&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;themselves on the rise. Morita and Miyake was the ‘Go-Ken kombi’, who were the at the closest point to the debut, so J&amp;amp;A decided to form a group which was called to advocate the campaign for the volleyball world cup in Japan with the 2 boys.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Sakamoto and &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Nagano&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; (who almost quitted the agency to join the normal life circle), as well as a Jr. veteran Inohara have been called to join, adding Tomohiro Hara for the 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; lineup.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Kitagawa found a late-comer, Okada, from an audition outside of the agency shortly before the debut press conference, which led to a quick replacement of him with Hara (whose picture already was in the magazines as a V6 member). The concept of two different groups combined was, of course, learned from the success of Hikaru Genji (They could be also divided into 2 units: Hikaru and Genji) – V6 still boasts 3 different concert possibilities (As V6, 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Century, or Coming Century), which invite various kinds of fans to enjoy each .&lt;/div&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Kinki Kids (1997) – Koichi Domoto and Tsuyoshi Domoto&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;a name="cutid5"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Kinki Kids"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;With Junichi Okada, they are the very first people who dragged the idol fans to the Kansai area: Both boys (not related anyhow with each other) are from the west side of &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Japan&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;. They had strong connections to SMAP backing up their concerts, etc., which still are there to be seen sometimes. After singing many songs and starring in main rolls of various TV series (Tsuyoshi started acting when he was a child), their CD debut was finally announced in 1997 with the famous tune “Glass no Shonen”, which was rather too much sophisticated for an idol group.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The high musical quality of this group has not been faded throughout their career since then, producing beautiful songs which became a favorite of many people to stay in their hearts.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Tsuyoshi sharpened up his musical side more by his solo albums, as well as his project as Endlicheri Endlicheri, which shows a complete different side of his musical talents.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Koichi, on the other hand, became a superb solo entertainer, producing his own musical act “Shock” each year.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The two do occasional tie-ups&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;composing their own songs (Mainly, Tsuyoshi takes care of the lyrics while Koichi writes the melody line), which are all superb work of art. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Arashi (1999) – Satoshi Ohno, Sho Sakurai, Masaki Aiba, Kazunari Ninomiya, and &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Jun Matsumoto.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;a name="cutid6"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Arashi"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The rise of Johnny’s Jr.s’ popularity was at its peak then.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The boys, led by &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Hideaki Takizawa, were so famous, that they hosted their own show, “8jida J” or &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;“I Love Jr.”.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The competition within the Jr. League has considerably become &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;severe then, producing some amount of boys who got superiority among the others.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;At the top was the unit &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;MAIN&lt;/st1:place&gt; (Aiba, Ninomiya, Matsumoto, and Toma Ikuta), &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;whose fame was big enough to form a part of the new debuting group.

&lt;/span&gt;Fans were surprised by the 6 Jr.s appearing on the cover of “WinkUp” magazine as a new unit, and later to be informed that they were picked up to back dance for Koichi Domoto in his presenting TV show “Pop Jam”. Rarely was a Jr. unit being closed-up so much, so it was the beginning of a new era – arrival of new heroes. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The boys seemed to have a great difficulty adjusting to this status, especially due to the fact that seldom of them were particularly close at that time with each other.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Kamenashi had &lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;private connections with already-so-famous Akanishi, as well as Ueda and Nakamaru dancing in the same unit (BAD), but that was about it.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Tanaka belonged rather to the ING Shinkoukei (featuring Yoshikazu Tohshin) guys in the frontline, and Taguchi has just begun to dance in “the Shonen Club” recently. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Their roads were quite rocky for years, but their popularity has risen pretty fast, making every fan wish hard for their CD debut which was accomplished in 2006. That was short after their Tokyo Dome concert (KAT-TUN was the first artist who performed live there without a CD release). Their songs have much of rock taste, which shows a nice contrast to their rival group, NewS.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Despite the numerous scandals surrounding them, as well as the departure of Akanishi to the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;US&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; (he returned again in 2007), they continued to build up their own legend, which keeps re-writing the records of J&amp;amp;A’s success till even now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Kanjani ∞ (Eight) (2006) – Yu Yokoyama, Shingo Murakami, Subaru Shibutani, Ryo Nishikido, Shota Yasuda, Ryuhei Maruyama, and Tadayoshi Ohkura&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;a name="cutid10"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Kanjani8"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;J&amp;amp;A had a strong tendency to make a debut group out of the Kanto (eastern) Jr. league, but this group was formed entirely by Kansai (western) Jr.s, who lived quite a different way of showbiz life from their Kanto counterparts. Most of the members started with back dancers for the musical “Kyo-to-Kyo” (which was, of course, performed in &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;Kyoto&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;), and with the ending of that musical, were practically non-existent throughout years, except for a few local engagements. The original Kanjani Eight was established in 2002 with Hiroki Uchi as the 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; member, within their TV show “J3 Kansai”.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Their first concert was at Christmas of that year.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;No one had doubts about their talents (especially in Owarai /comedy programs), but hardly anyone had seriously believed of their CD debut, which came suddenly in 2006.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Shocked were the members themselves as well – Shibutani knew of his own debut from a friend who had a look on the newspaper which told of the news.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They made a CD contract with Teichiku, Co., which normally is responsible for Enka singers, so their debut tune “Naniwa Iroha Bushi” had a slight Enka feel, and its sales were actually calculated in charts as an Enka song.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span lang="JA" style="font-family: &amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;;"&gt;　　　　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;As they all went through difficult days together (there were times that they weren’t at all successful), the members have a strong bond to each other. Even after the banning of Uchi in 2005, they keep a warm eye on him, making him welcome at his visits to Kanjani concerts (He actually was brought onstage at a 2007 production).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;They have all begun to show their individual talents recently, having solo-concerts and participating TV shows outside of J&amp;amp;A world as well. Although their singles are mostly comical, there is a lot of variety in the album songs. &lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;As some of the members had a past career as a band (V West), they even perform sometimes in a band formation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Hey!

BEST) with Ryosuke Yamada, Yuto Nakajima, Yuuri Chinen(son of Takashi Chinen,&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Barcelona Olympics bronze medalist in gymnastics), Keito Okamoto(son of Kenichi Okamoto), and Ryutaro Morimoto(as Hey!

Say! 7 (7 stands for 2007, the year this unit was formed) with Yamada, Chinen, Nakajima, Arioka, and Takaki as members. They released a single “Hey! Say!” a title song for the anime “LoveCom”. This unit has developed into a group of 10 in the same year, when there was a&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;new force needed again for the volleyball world cup campaign. Their first single was the campaign song “Ultra Music Power”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Hey! Say! means the name of “Heisei”-era, the current Japanese era, so all members were born in that era (which means their birth date are all after 1989), making this group’s average age very young. Members have been gathered from the leading Jr. units at that time: Ya-Ya-Yah and J.J. Express, which both came to extinction after the debut of this group. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The elder group Hey! Say! BEST were already quite famous as top Jr.s, so they keep their positions by their dancing and talking skills. The starring of Takaki in the famous “Gokusen” series made his popularity even higher. The youngsters of Hey! Say! 7 have gradually gained power as well, with Yamada and Nakajima starring in many TV series playing important roles. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;With their newest single “Your Seed” (theme song for the Japanese version of the movie “Kung-fu Panda”), they will lead the newest production of “Summary” in summer 2008, together with Kansai Jr.s.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Added to them, there are a large group of boys called Johnny’s Jr., who back up their senpais at TV and concert performances. There are boys who keep their individual positions as actors as well. They consist of more than 100 boys (and a lot more Kenshuseis/ trainees, below them), and there are various units within the Jr. already, looking for a chance to debut.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size="5"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Source: Tomoko Elle Blaesig&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</content>

I don’t understand why the lecturer really loves giving so much work for the students to do. And being a reporter in School Magazine, and as one of Student Council member, and as a member of Choir Group, and as a President of a new club in my college, I have a lot of works that waiting to be done. -sigh- I wonder if I can relax in the next two weeks ~&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;For curing my ‘Getting the work done!’ illness, I tried to write some fanfic about my three favorite pairings. Not good of course, because it’s unbeta-ed. But I promise I will ask my beta to beta-ed it for me. (cleo_chan, pwease help me~~~~~~ *starry eyes*) &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Now, end of the excuse~&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Candy (TegoMass)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;For &lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class='ljuser' lj:user='yuyako16' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://yuyako16.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://yuyako16.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;yuyako16&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Candy (TegoMass)"&gt;Massu loves food. Everyone knows that.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;He loves gyoza the most, but he loves candy too (actually, when it comes to Massu, he loves everything that is edible).  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Massu really loves candy, especially if the candy is provided by Tegoshi Yuya.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Said Tegoshi Yuya is now feeding said Massu, ignoring all the snorts (from Yamashita Tomohisa, who forced his bandmates to call him Pi-chan), worried glares (from Koyama), and sharp remarks (as expected, coming from the law student and the Sexy Osaka Man). &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The TegoMass’ moment couldn’t be disturbed by anything, Koyama decided, after watching Massu happily licking Tegoshi’s hands which were covered with candy. Koyama quickly closed his eyes when he saw Tegoshi leaning forward to kiss Massu on the lips. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Oh my, he thought to himself. How could a little candy have such an effect, such as giving Tegoshi a reason to kiss Massu in public and blame it all to the fanservice? Maybe, just maybe, Koyama thought again, Shige and Ryo wouldn’t mind telling him the history of candy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Peaceful Sleep (HiroSuke)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;For me xD&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;a name="cutid2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Peaceful Sleep (HiroSuke)"&gt;It’s not good to disturb Kitayama Hiromitsu when he is asleep. He would bark at you and you will never know if you can leave the Jimusho alive. It’s really not good. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But it’s not good either to ignore Fujigaya Taisuke when he’s in a sugar rush.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So, seeing Kitayama sleeping on the couch, with a smile on the older boy’s face, somehow it made Fujigaya angry. He didn’t know why, but he was just… angry. So he did the first things that came into his mind: shouting at Kitayama to wake him up. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!”  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Kitayama murmured something under his breath, but didn’t make any attempt to wake up. Fujigaya went crazy and shoke the smaller boy not quiet gently. “Wake up, you lazy!” &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Kitayam grunted, but opened his eyes, and stared at Fujigaya with sleepy eyes. “What do you want? Candies? Chocolates? Snacks? Just take whatever you want from my bag, and leave me alone.” Kitayama prepared himself to sleep again, but Fujigaya’s next words startled him. &lt;br /&gt;“I want to kiss you.”  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Wha-”  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Fujigaya kissed him, and whatever Kitayama wanted to say fled from his mind.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Disgusting.”  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A sharp remark from Yokoo Wataru startled the couple and Kitayama quickly freed himself from Fujigaya’s tight hug. When did Fujigaya start to hug him? Why he didn’t realize it? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Yo-Yokoo!” Blushing, Kitayama tried to give a reason to his bandmate about the “kissing accident”, but failed. Fujigaya only smiled at Yokoo. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Yokoo grinned when he saw Kitayama panic. It was really rare to see the not-so-mature-man blushing and panicking like that. “When you said that you want to sleep, I thought that you were tired with your Enbujou work. But now I know what you mean with your ‘peaceful sleep’. Hope you have a good time!” Waving, Yokoo slowly closed the door behind him while leaving the room. But before the door was finally shut, he could see Kitayama being pushed by Fujigaya and the younger boy started kissing the older boy. Yokoo grinned again, finally deciding to give his two bandmates their privacy for their private ‘peaceful sleep’.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Birthday&lt;/b&gt; (KusaPi)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;for &lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class='ljuser' lj:user='dephi' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://dephi.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://dephi.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;dephi&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a name="cutid3"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Birthday (KusaPi)"&gt;Today was Kusano’s birthday. Yamashita wanted to do something special for him. Something with cake, candles, sodas, and… balloons. Yamashita knew that Kusano loved balloons, especially the blue ones. Blue was not Kusano’s favourite colour, but he loved blue balloons. There was no particular reason why Kusano loved blue balloons. &lt;br /&gt;At least he said so when Massu asked why the younger boy loves blue balloons so much.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So, Yamashita decided, he would buy cake, candles, sodas, and blue balloons.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Yamashita had prepared everything for this special day. Everything, even the perfect gift for Kusano. Massu helped him buy the gift, of course. He couldn’t buy it himself because of his tight schedule. Yamashita made a mental note to thank Massu later for his effort, searching for the best birthday gift for his Kusano. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Yamashita frowned a little. His? When did Kusano become his? He might be crazy to think of Kusano as a man, not as his bandmates, his naughty little brother. It must be the effect of seeing too much TegoMass moments in NewS dressing room. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Yamashita shook his head. He really needed to warn the couple not to show their affection towards each other in public, may it be for fanservice or not. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;When the door bell of his apartment rung, Yamashita opened the door and found Kusano grinning at him… with all NewS members trailing behind him. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“What the–”  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“I told Koyama about your invitation to have dinner at your apartment. And then, Tegoshi said that it’s a good idea to come along.” Kusano explained cheerfully and entered the house without waiting for Yamashita’s invitation. Massu, looking apologetic, was dragged by the ever happy and cheerful Tegoshi into the kitchen. Ryo, grinning like a mad man, pats Yamashita’s shoulder, and says, “Too bad you can’t have a romantic night with Kusano.” &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Yamashita could only blink. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Hope you all enjoy! ^______^&lt;/p&gt;</content>

That’s why~~ T____T&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I really miss you all~~ -hugs- And I really miss writing fanfics and translating something.

    <content type="html">&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Somehow, I got this weird feeling yesterday, about didn't want to sleep, but really need the sleep. But in the end I gave up and go to bed and sleep, because I'm really tired and worn out and didn't have any energy left. At first I sleep peacefully. But after a few minutes, or maybe hours, I don't really know myself, I opened my eyes and the only thing that I can see is... garbage xD But in the pile of the grabage, there is Kitayama. Realy. I'm not kidding. He stood there, and barking orders to the other worker. And how lovely it was to found that the other workers are all my ichibans, with addition of all Arashi members, in worn out clothes. I can't help myself and I laughed loudly, only to find them glaring at me. And... that's the end of my dream xDDD My father woke me up. So yeah, it ended lols~ Anyway, before I sleep, I think about Kitayama, and end up dreaming about him. So maybe, our mind and dreams are connected with each other? xDDD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, facts about Kitayama~&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Profile of Kitayama Hiromitsu with Trivia ^^"&gt;&lt;p&gt;credit to wiki for this~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kitayama Hiromitsu is the oldest member of &lt;a href="http://wiki.theppn.org/Johnny%27s_Jimusho" title="Johnny&amp;#39;s Jimusho"&gt;Johnny's Entertainment&lt;/a&gt; junior group &lt;a href="http://wiki.theppn.org/Kis-My-Ft.2" title="Kis-My-Ft.2"&gt;Kis-My-Ft.2&lt;/a&gt;.

Also the harder stunts on skates are taught by him. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Always sets his alarm clock 10 times and still doesnt wake up to it.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He plays ice hockey and also knows how to play the piano. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;His favourite color is black but has decided to try out more eccentric colors. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He wants to see &lt;a href="http://wiki.theppn.org/Ya-Ya-Yah" title="Ya-Ya-Yah"&gt;Ya-Ya-Yah&lt;/a&gt; perform Paradise Ginka on skates. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He becomes a sort of guardian for the group when on outtings together. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He attended the same high school as &lt;a href="http://wiki.theppn.org/Yamashita_Tomohisa" title="Yamashita Tomohisa"&gt;Yamashita Tomohisa&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href="http://wiki.theppn.org/NEWS" title="NEWS"&gt;NEWS&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://wiki.theppn.org/Tanaka_Koki" title="Tanaka Koki"&gt;Tanaka Koki&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href="http://wiki.theppn.org/KAT-TUN" title="KAT-TUN"&gt;KAT-TUN&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://wiki.theppn.org/index.php?title=Hasegawa_Jun&amp;amp;action=edit" class="new" title="Hasegawa Jun"&gt;Hasegawa Jun&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href="http://wiki.theppn.org/Three_Tops" title="Three Tops"&gt;Three Tops&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He can understand English but has a hard time speaking, says its because of his vocabulary. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He always wanted a job where he could make people happy, hence why he chose JE. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He does everything according to his own pace and thus is always last for everything.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Talking about Arashi, they are the reason why I'm into Johnny's Fandom. At first, I hate J-POP because of w-inds (no offense for w-inds fans &amp;gt;///&amp;lt;). Don't know why i hate them. I just... don't like them. Now i like them anyway~ -sudden change of heart- xDDD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And today, I finished re-watching Arashi's Time Concert for four times, mostly because my father demand me to watch with him xD And I don't know why, somehow Arashi's speech in this concert really got me and i cried a lot because of it. Sho-kun said that compare to their concert 2 or 3 years ago, this year they are very happy because all the seats were full. Somehow it's really sad to hear him saying something like that~ T^T And then, Aiba-chan cried. And I cried with him. And then, Nino. My boy really said good thing this time. And without knowing why, my hands started writing down the translation xD Maybe because what he said really touched me~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For you who want to see the translation, just click the link below~&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="When Nino finally said something cool xD"&gt;&lt;p align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;Nino in Arashi “Time” Concert Final&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;Everyone, thank you very much for coming today. Aiba-kun is crying ne. But really… Arashi is like this. We may be suck at singing. Maybe even bad at dancing. And maybe when we spoke it’s really lame. But, everything… In everything we’ve done we put our heart in it. “It will be good if everyone is happy,” that’s what we always think about. And thinking things like “How to make everyone enjoy the show.” We always think about you (the fans) all. -Nino looks like he want to cry, but then he refrain himself and said, “I won’t lose” instead xD- I won’t lose, I won’t lose~ Please wait a moment, I kind of afraid. I’m alright. I must work hard right? Anyway, to the staff, thank you so much for following us all this time during our long summer tour concert. And then, to M.A.D members, the Johnny’s Junior, and to Hey! Say! JUMP, thank you so much. And then, above anything else, to the guests, for coming today, and for coming to our concert all the time, thank you very much. It may be sad, but Arashi’s summer will end today. But, even though today everything will end, it means new summer will come. And maybe it’s not in summer, not long from now maybe we will come and great you all again (in the concert). And for making it become reality we will work hard, so you all (the fans) must work hard too~ I, doing this concert… I mean, we, Arashi, doing this concert, is the happiest thing for us to do.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;And about Kitayama~ He really got me to translate the new ending of Shokura in 2008.04.13 because of his 'ugly face' xD&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n164/Juu-chan_2006/hirototsucaps1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;OH!

But she never complained. I wonder if I really troubled her and make her mad sometimes because of my craziness xDDDD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then, she posted something in her LJ, something about meme. I don't understand at all, what is meme, but because I love her, I don't mind answering the question. And it's really fun!!!! ^----^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try answering it too, guys!

    <content type="html">One month ago (I know it's late, but i just remembered to talk about it now xD), i enter a singing competition in my college. Actually, i didn't enter willingly. Just because they need three volunteers from the college to participate in the competition. So as you know, i was chosen as one of the participant. How suck xD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't like it at all at first. Come on, who will like to be forced to enter a competition? Me, not lols~ But all of my friends persuaded me. They even helped me and accompanied me to practice the song. I sang a japanese song, my other two friends sang an english and chinese songs. So we practice together, stumbled together, and like stupid people, we struggled to practice and sing the song and learn the song so we can sing it perfectly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end, i was voted for favourite singer xD I don't know why they choose me, because, well, i messed up, laughed, and forgot the lyrics. But both my friends won the competition ^^ And i'm glad for that xD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, this is the song i sang in the competition. It's not the real performance, because none of my friends recorded it. It's from the last practice before i sang it on the stage. If you want to hear me singing, just clik the LJ cut below and download the song. If you don't want to, just ignore it xDDD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Link for the song~"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/6qgo3g"&gt;Juu - Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/e3bcwr"&gt;The Player&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you must download the player first before you can hear the song~ sorry for the trouble, because i don't know how to change the file to mp3~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And below is the lyrics of Question?'s song with MATCHY, which called Mezamero! Yasei. Lately, i'm addicted to this song ne. So i thought maybe i should romanized it and translated it. So, enjoy! ^____^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name="cutid2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Mezamero!

    <content type="html">Today is Fukka's 16th birthday, and i feel happy for him because, even though he is still a Junior, but at least he got his own group now ^_____________^ I'm sure that in no time, he will shine and maybe, he will debut with his friends when he was in J.J.Express, with Hasshi and Kamei, plus Sanada~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know, today i'm supposed to be happy, since it's Fukka's birthday and all. But i can't help feeling sad. Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One word. Kamei.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone said that he was removed from Honey Rider performance in HS concert. I went blank for minutes, before finally shouted, "WHAT???!!!" out loud. How dare Jyanis did that to him! I can't believe it! And i can't forgive it! Kamei, he's been a good Junior, cause nothing to Jyanis, unlike his other friends. But why, just because of that purikura, and not that purikura hentai, why, why, why?????? WHY he got suspended for something like that? I don't understand Jyanis at all &amp;gt;_____&amp;lt; But i believe he will survive. He will come back. He will shine again. I believe that.</content>

And no one can change it."&gt;The Firefly is a really beautiful creature.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;It glows in the dark. Giving people who were lost a light for them to search for their way home.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So many people love fireflies. Some of them are even obsessed to collect them.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But that didn’t apply for Tegoshi Yuuya.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Tegoshi hates fireflies. He detests them.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;His friend, referred to as Koyama Keichiro, often asks him why he hates fireflies so much. But Tegoshi never answers him. Even his idol, Yamashita Tomohisa, can't persuade him to explain why he hates fireflies. They keep wondering for ages, why, oh why Tegoshi hates that beautiful creatures? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Shige said one time, that maybe Massu, who was killed in an accident two years ago, could make Tegoshi sputter out his reason about why he hates the firefly. At this time, immediately after saying that, Shige's mouth was covered by Koyama's hands and Ryo laughed loudly to ease the uneasiness that filled the room after Shige said Massu's name. Yamashita glared at Shige, which made the younger boy wince, and then turned to Tegoshi, only to find the boy staring back at him, eyes empty, with a smile -a fake smile, according to Ryo- on his face. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Yamashita was taken aback at that. So he kept his mouth shut for the entire time.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;No one questioned why Tegoshi left early that day. No one said a word about why Tegoshi's eyes look empty just now. No one dared to ask Tegoshi why he had to leave early, even though he hasn't finished his job. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Four years later, Tegoshi was back to his usual bouncy self. He kept smiling, laughing, talking - or chattering nonstop if you want to put it like that- to his friends. But all of them knew better, that Tegoshi tried to be cheerful for them. It was painful to see Tegoshi like that, without his partner singing with him or standing beside him like the buta always did. Tegoshi was alone. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Six years later, they finally knew the reason why Tegoshi hated firefly.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;They found it out by accident, when Tegoshi left his diary in the dressing room. Shige saw the diary and was curious, but no, he was not the one who opened the book and read the contents. It was Koyama. The mother of NewS simply was worried about Tegoshi, thus lead him to open and read the diary. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;On page 50, there was a scribble of Tegoshi writing about something that involved firefly. Curious, Koyama tried to read it, and when he managed to do it, he immediately dropped the book, cried, and hugged Shige. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;After he calmed down he explained to his friends, that Tegoshi hated firefly because it was Massu's favourite animal. Massu loved fireflies so much. Fireflies reminded Tegoshi about Massu. That's why he hated fireflies. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;His reason is so simple, yet it managed to make even Ryo cry for him, for his undying love to his partner.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Tegoshi will forever hate fireflies. And no one can change it.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And no one wanted to change it.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Firefly.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;It's a beautiful creature.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But when it reminds you of someone you love, it becomes the ugliest creature in the world.&lt;/div&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Today, i went to my college, with stupid make up on my face, but then, one of my friends said to me, with anger in her voice, that the teacher went for a vacation for one week! One week! How dare she??? We got into a lot of trouble for putting the make up on our face, for today's lesson, but then, the teacher went for a vacation???? I can't believe it. I almost exploded in the college this morning. I can tell that all of my friends were angry. We have to clean the make up and then go home. No one want to go home with the make up on their faces. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that, suddenly my friends said, that she was told by the people in the administration office, that the damn teacher who left without telling us anything, gave us am assignment to do, which we had to complete it before 10 a.m. All of us went "What???? Before 10 a.m??? But now is already 8.30 a.m!!" There is no way we can complete it on time! But if we can't submit it on time, the teacher will ban us for her class. How suck T____T&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is the worst day of my life. We worked on the project messily, and i believe that none of us will get C mark. We will get D mark, or even E, because of it. My god, why, why, why, i have to be in that class??? &amp;gt;____&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, enough with the ramblings. Below is something that i made when i work on the project at school. None of my friends work on the project seriously, because hell, who can complete an assignment in one and half hour only?

I mean, who doesn't want to go out with him? Plus, he asking me, and not me asking him!! xDD So i eagerly agreed and he said to meet with him in front of the big clock in front of the train station *this line was inspired by Aqua Timez song~* So i quickly got up from my bed, and pick the best dress from my wardrobe, and went to the station in hurry. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After i got in front of the station, i saw Taisuke scolding Kitayama for not telling him that he want to go out with me. Kitayama said it's not his business and brushed Taisuke off. I can see from a far that Taisuke was angry. And in that moment, he confessed to Kitayama! lols~ I don't know what should i do at that time, so i was frozen in the place when Kitayama said to Taisuke that he like him too xDDD I didn't feel heartbroken at all, because, well, HiroSuke is my OTP after all~ lols~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that i texted Kitayama and said to him that i'm sorry i can't go with him because i have someone i like and said to him, "Hope you will be happy with Fujigaya-kun." What a good fangirl i am! Right? xDDD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know why i have this weird dream last night. Maybe it's because i missed seeing my OTP ne~ *hugs HiroSuke*</content>
