ok.. hopefully I haven't forgotten anyone.. if there's something I overlooked please let me know (esp. small roles and stuff cuz I didn't look into guest appearnaces, etc.)

[Munkyxx]

hurray for new thread! ^^. The happy point of this entire week is, JIN CAME BACK! I'm so looking forward to KAT-TUN as a whole. And it seems as though Jin's return has strengthened KAT-TUN. Everyone's so much more friendly. Jin <33
I haven't watched Proposal yet (waiting for subs heh) but the previews look really interesting/funny. I did watch Tokkyu Tanaka 3 Go and it's pretty funny (Koki's overacting rocks). There are so many dramas out this season >< It's really distracting me from studying for my APs ><.

Haha it took me a while to learn their names too, but after watching so many news clips and appearance shows, you start to catch on. I still don't know Kanjani 8 but I'm not really anxious to learn hah.

[pinkfireworks]

My friend rang me in the middle of the night when Jin came back and I couldn't even understand her she was so spazzy and babbly. XD I'm so happy for all the fans and KAT-TUN that Jin's back. ^_^

070420 NTV KAT-TUN - Jin Returns Press Conference.avi (http://www.sendspace.com/file/4ce3hj) (if anyone would like it ^^)

I've finally got NEWS all figured out. =D It's taken me a week, but I know their names and faces now~ ^^V :bounce:

[pianochic250]

:excited: i'm so happy that jin's finally back too!!!! but i've read in some other forums that they said that jin doesn't look really happy at the news conference...i haven't gotten a chance to look at that yet, but i dunno...:oops:

aiiiiie....i bet it was more than just "study for english" the reason he left ya know? oh well, the important thing is that he is back i guess! :bleh:

I FEEL SOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!!! I WISH AP TESTS WOULD HURRY UP AND GET OVER WITH CUZ I WANNA WATCH PROPOSAL!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH :cry:

[twilighthush]

I hate that TOKIO is missing in this thread when they are so freaking big. Oh, and SMAP and V6, too. (JE phenomenon would not be this ridiculously huge if it were not for these three groups right here, kthx.)

Ya-ya-yah hasn't even freakin' debuted yet and somehow they get a big spot in the intro post but there's no TOKIO at all? Wtf? D: Let's just all pretend that SMAP and Nagase Tomoya aren't some of the most influential Johnny's in all of Japan (or the fact that they're ALWAYS top 10 actors). This makes me an unhappy JE fan. Hell, I should make a gratuitous TOKIO/Nagase Tomoya thread just to give them the worship they properly deserve now. xD

ALSO: Kanjani8: Uchi is no longer part of the group. He's not even a junior right now. ><;

Prodai: Not Pi's best from what I can see so far. Acting's a little dry, imho.

Also imho, NewS should totally not be first in this post. D: You should have posted it in order of debut. XD; And how come Tackey & Tsubasa don't get a picture? xDDD

In order of debut:

1. SMAP
2. TOKIO
3. V6
4. KinKi Kids
5. Arashi
6. KAT-TUN
7. Tackey & Tsubasa
8. NEWS
9. Kanjani8

Noteworthy Juniors:

1. Ya-ya-yah
2. Kis-my-ft2
3. Musical Academy
4. ABC
5. J.J. Express
6. Question?

[pianochic250]

okay, i'm sorry i didn't put ALL johnny's up there but you didn't have to be so rude about it!!! :-x

[fajitapita]

Haha it took me a while to learn their names too, but after watching so many news clips and appearance shows, you start to catch on. I still don't know Kanjani 8 but I'm not really anxious to learn hah.
EXACTLY how I feel abt learning K8. haha. for some reason.. they just dont do it for me >.<

thanks much for the upld pinkfireworks!! anyone have soft subs for it? too busy to search for them right now >.<

jin doesn't look happy? hrm.. mebbe.. but he looks a heck of a lot better than the press-con for when he was leaving. at least he looks more genki now, ne?

twilighthush:: there was a TxT pic... its just not working right now. sorry.. this thread started as a KAT-TUN thread, and we'vebmostly discussed the juniors & freshly debuted groups, so that's kinda where we're at in the JE circle. It's a little harder for us newbies to get in on the SMAP and TOKIO action. and uh, let us Uchi fans have a break!! to us he will forever be a part of K8 and NewS

if you're really bitter abt it, sure start a Nagase thread.. i'm all for it ^^ personally i think there's no one that exudes confidence and sexiness like him. (craziness.. just as i'm typing this sorefune started playing on the radio... o_O)

::Edit::
*pat pat* xue, its ok... ppl have their preferences >.<

[twilighthush]

pianochic250 - XD Rofl, you must not have noticed me around JCNET. This was hardly rude. In fact, it was more like a laughing-my-ass-off-at-the-missing-senpai type deal than a "rude" comment. (See, I used a lot of cute emoticons!! Like XD <-- that is cute!!) The one unhappy emoticon I used was D:. But the fact that I used emoticons means I'm teasing about it. D: So chillllllllll for rlz. But yes, please include the senpai -- they're really important to JE and I don't see how you can have a JE thread without senpai mention. ;-; Senpai wa samishiii neeee~ XD

(On a far more serious note, if you wanna see rude, I can show you rude. Just take a look in the Mental Sparring Ring where I can get outright snarky at times. This is hardly rude. Trussssssssst me. Furthermore, I am ALLOWED to complain and bitch about the fact that this is not a fair representation of JE, and that IS the truth. It is not a fair representation. Starting a JE thread you would think you would include a fair representation of all debuted groups and notable Jrs groups but instead we have a very subjective representation of groups. As a big JE fan, I don't think that's right.)

fajitapita - Uchi's not listed as part of NEWS but he is listed as part of K8. Imho, if you're gonna include Uchi, you better include Kusano otherwise that isn't fair to Kusano. D:

And no, I'm not bitter about it, I was being really sarcastic and eyerollingly silly but apparently that didn't convey very well. But I might start a gratuitous Nagase thread anyway because that man deserves one. XDDDD

Also. I still don't get why an undebuted group gets such a hugeee mention in a JE thread xD; and senpai who are FAR more established than them do not take up nearly as much room. xDDDD;;;;;;; Mou, not fair!

[fajitapita]

to be honest.. i didnt look that carefully at the first post.. so yah, if i were to have made it I would have included both uchi and kusano in NewS.. but its just an introductory post.. anyone who's interested either already knows or is gonna go do their research.

and uhm.. guess you didnt quite catch that i got your sarcasm.. thats why i said "bitter", to go w/ it.. but ahh.. yah... sarcasm's an art i guess.

dude, and if the girl wants Yax3 in there then leave her be. to each his own. being outside of japan, its hard to tell who actually has more influence.

[twilighthush]

^ The point isnt' that she included Yax3. The point is that she included them but didn't include the senpai. Sooo. ;~; This makes me sad. Cuz like, some junior group that hasn't even debuted can get a huge mention but the senpai dont get any mention. ;o;!!!! As I said, senpai wa samishii neee! XD;;

[Munkyxx]

Haha looks like we'll be needing a major picture spam if we're going to include every single Johnny. This thread was originally a KAT-TUN thread, and she posted up those groups as an example because they were the groups that we mainly discussed about in the previous thread. Sorry if you feel like we're under-representing. We really don't mean to! We love all Johnnys! (but we just love some more than others hehe)
But you do bring up a good point about Yax3. Eh why do they get so much publicity anyway? Mr. Kitagawa should just let them debut already. I feel bad for the other groups (cough Question? cough ABC) who are barely noticed.
There was actually a rumor going on that Kusano or Uchi (I forgot which one, or both) were doing back up again. But it's just a rumor, no confirmation ><.
Now that Jin's back of course I'm jumping for joy. I just hope this doesn't mean Koki will lose his camera time back to Jin now. And Ueda damn it, go do some more camera hogging. We don't see your pretty face or hear your beautiful voice enough! It seems like every time he makes a comment on Cartoon Kattun, he gets shy and stops talking. But I love his comments! That perv who stares at granny boobs xP

We can start talking about V6, Tokio and Smap. Well I don't really know what's up with Tokio these past few days, but is anyone watching Kuitan 2? I've never watch the first one (but read that it sucked). I have the sequel though lying on my desktop waiting for me to watch after my exams. Ah I really can't wait till my exams are over. There are so many dramas this season and I'm trying to resist so I can study ><. Damn this bad timing. And my hard drive is about to max out soon =(

I recently started watching SmapxSmap. I swear I probably gained 5 pounds from watching Bistro Smap cuz it always makes me hungry. I'd love for them to cook for me =P

[twilighthush]

We should do a picture spam. :o I didn't know this was a KATTUN thread because I never popped into KATTUN threads before. Also, this says Johnny's Boyz which made me assume it was all JE. XDD Therefore... Well, yes.

As for what TOKIO (note the caps please! ^_^) are up to ... well, Taichi has his 98237423 hosting jobs (Like Shonen Club Premium), Matsuoka I think has a drama coming up, Nagase is starting to record for a seiyuu debut in an animated movie to release in Fall. Not much music-stuff. I'm kinda sitting here hopinghopinghoping for a Nagase drama but it doesn't look like I'm going to be lucky this year. :| Unless he doubles up and decides to begin filming a drama for Fall/Winter drama season whilst recording for the movie. Of course, TOKIO do their typical Mentore G and Tetsuwan DASH variety shows, and Nagase and Matsuoka have their radio programs.

As for Kuitan 2, I haven't seen it. I haven't seen Kuitan so, I kinda need to. xD; Yay for Morita Go, right? :D

Uh... SMAP x SMAP. xD Yeah, they're awesome. TOKIO have a food show too, Mentore G, but they don't really cook on it. They eat a lot though! xD

[pianochic250]

twlighthush u know wut, whatever. okay, i'll just add SMAP AND TOKIO in there. geeeeeeeeez. i seriously don't see why we are getting so worked up about this... or you can go edit it or whatever and delete ya ya yahs cuz i don't even like them it's just that they are everywhere i just added them. do what you want. okay??????

[cs_omigosh]

wah..i think i smell some "gunpowder" here..haha..
Btw, i think i sort of agree that all groups would be included in the first post since this thread has evolved from KAT-TUN + other johnnys to Johnny's Boyz Part ||| hee..

Anyway, if anyone's interested, perhaps we can arrange according to their debut dates..?

SMAP: 9th Sep 1991
TOKIO: 21st Sep 1994
V6: 1st Nov 1995
Kinki Kids: 21st Jul 1997
Arashi: 15th Sep 1999
Takki & Tsubasa: 26th Feb 2003
NewS: 7th Nov 2003
Kanjani 8: 25th Aug 2004
KAT-TUN: 22nd Mar 2006

Non debuted johnny jrs:
Kis-My-Ft2. A.B.C + 東新良和 (Yoshikazu Toshin). Ya-Ya-Yah. Five. Question. 生田斗真(Toma Ikuta
). 風間俊介(Kazama Shunsuke). 長谷川純 (Hasegawa Jun), JJ express, GOLF&MIKE, B.A.D,

But I think perhaps there's no need to include the pics and all the profiles of the non-debuted juniors? If not there would be too much info..=)

[fajitapita]

ano.. thread has kinda died, huh? what happened? I had finals+work+moving+whole buncha other crap..

but uh.. gawd, i havent even started watching propose, how's my dear pigger's in it? havent been in other forums either so i have no idea whats going on..

And i only watched the 1st part of cartoon KAT-TUN w/ jin back. and w/o subs. i thot he didnt seem as genki as he used to be.. anyone else feel that way? >.<

[pamujung]

well, I'm just watching this thread and notice that there are some not organized here.

First of all, do you want to talk about JE boys in here or you want to talk about them in separate threads ? And if we are going to make this thread solely talk about JE boys, I agree to make an introduction for every group according to their debuts.

I suggest, since we already have KAT-TUN thread and Arashi, we can just link to that thread and keep the introduction there. And let talk about the rest of JE boys here, due to their popularity didn't get many attention in jcnet?!

[cs_omigosh]

Neda (I hope I didn't remember ur name wrongly)..I have been out for soo long neh..been busy with stuff =) Btw, there are people subbing cartoon KAT-TUN..do u wanna know where to get the subs? =) And Jin gets more genki in the later episodes cos he is more used to speaking..hee

Pam, I think perhaps to make the first post more organised, we should probably just include a group pic of the various groups and a link to wikipedia for people to click if they wanna know more about the groups? What ya think? ^^ Btw, the KAT-TUN thread was closed cos it's more than 500 posts..hee
