[friends_pt]

Hi Pam... It's been long since i've posted in thread started by you. Nice to see a thread for JE boys. Let me just start with saying who i favour in JE. Of course, the first will be Takuya Kimura from SMAP!! The most famous group in JE will be none other than them. His just so handsome even he is already a father of two. haha.

Next will be Matsumoto Jun aka MoMo aka Sawada Shin aka Domyoji Tsukasa. haha. Love shows he starred in.

Yamshita Tomohisa aka Yamapi is another JE boy i favour. hehe. He is just so cute in Nobuta wo Produce, cool in Kurosagi.

Ok, i think i will post some other day again. at work now. hope to share news of the JE boys in here.

[friends_pt]

YAMAPI!!!
but he's not w/ NEWS anymore..

Are you sure Yamapi is no longer in NEWS? mine sharing the source of news where you see it? i thought NEWS just got back again planning to release new singles?

[fajitapita]

ano... what happened to the original JE fan crew? haha. I guess we all got busy >.<

Char... you got my name right ^^

what is this abt NewS coming to taiwan for a concert in october? *fuming* and how come i only found out now?? *sigh* so hard to keep up nowadays. I'm really sad abt this tho.. I wanna be here for the concert!! But I'm leaving end of august.

Man... I love Cartoon KAT-TUN... it's been hilarious every eppie. But has Kame been looking kinda weird lately? o_O

[pamujung]

yo! Tze I love your new banner! like a combination of hotties and I have no idea either that Yamapi leave NEWS (and I have to delete that post because it's considered as spam no info. on what s/he wrote at all)

fajitapita >> hi :wave: this is the first time we meet (I guess ^^; ) what is your name? you can call me pam for short. and hey where did you DL Cartoon KAT-TUN, I wanna watch it too. anou.. you watch it with chinese subs right? I can't understand chinese tho ><

hmm I think if there are many of us posted in here and interested in our JE boys that much I will try to update news :happy:

[fajitapita]

hey pam ^^ nice to meet you!! you can call me neda (my real name) or shorten my sn

actually... i've been watching cartoon KT online at Veoh. I havent had a chance any of the eps except the first couple. and I watch english subs >.< haha, one of the few JE fans that isn't so talented at the multilingualness.

I could prolly find you soft subs tho. or mebbe a clubbox? let me know if you need it ^^

[jay_is_cute]

i didn't know we had a JE thread here! actually i'm just a recent fan.

i'm totally falling love with KAT-TUN these days, especially kame, but especially junno, but especially all of them, haha. and yamapi is just too cute not to love. i'm trying to get aquainted with all the older groups, but there's just so many!

fajitapita, i love watching cartoon KT as well! i haven't watched any recent episodes yet, how is kame weird? i remember that ep when he revealed that he always holds peoples' hands when he's passionate...even guys hands. i find that really funny! and weird...all the guys were like ewwww! LOL! it's a pain finding the eppies with english subs though. does veoh have all of them?

pam, i dl cartoon kattun as well, from clubbox, with eng soft subs, but not for every ep. this clubbox also has a lot of JE goodies >> http://clubbox.co.kr/johnnyjr i think youtube should have some hardsubbed eps as well.

so, where do you guys go to get the latest JE news?

[sjlifed]

there's thos webby too..they r really fast in uploadin...n takin it down..
http://www.haruka-nature.com/windjp/index.html
its clubbox too..jus go downloads..
n they hav alot of other prog...

[pamujung]

Hi Neda :wave:

and thanks for the resource everyone ^^ I know about that haruka windjp site and CB link but the clubbox program doesn't work well with window vista >< and finally I found some episode on jpopsuki which is the torrent hehe

heh bonnie, you don't like Arashi? They are also hlarious and very content lol in their program show.

sigh.. I just too bust with study to have time to catch up what is going on lately but didn't you guy hear any rumor about Akanishi Jin and actress Kato Rosa. It was a gossip on japanese magazine called "Friday".
The pair were spotted having dinner together with friends in mid-May, after which Akanishi drove Kato back to her Tokyo apartment and spent the next 17 hours there. He then became a regular visitor, leading reporters to assume that Kato has ended her relationship with actor Tamaki Hiroshi (27) and taken up with the young idol singer.and for those who don't know who she is, if you watch Jotei starring Matsuda Shota, there she is the lead role as an ambitious young bar hostess. This is her first drama too!

and what did they do for 17 hours in the apartment :shifty:

[80slitenite]

I watched NEWS on Utaban earlier today. f'in lmao. they get electrocuted. XDD
i was going to post up the links, but just found on it was removed due to a copyright claim by Tokyo Broadcasting System, Inc. that freakin sucks.
i'm relatively new to Jpop so i'm trying to play catch up. XD i loved the vids of going on a date with each NEWS member. of course my favorite was with YamaP. XDD
***


Ehhh!! chotto! this thread is ~~~~~~~~ silence desu..........XDD

If you haven't seen this show, you got to "CHECK IT OUT YO!" - Taguchi's intro XD

[greentea_]

omg 80slitenite, i watched that clip too, the one on news being electrocuted ><" lol, massu trying to get a word beginning with 'p' was so funny ..'pe, pe... PESUU'!!

[diaoness]

new NEWS fan!!!
just heard their new song *Weeeek* and a song they sung last year...*星をめざして*
i love it!!

[pianochic250]

hahaha omg isn't news just awesome? diaoness yamapi rox the best! :D my hubby. <3 oh yeah. i'm selling kattun poster if anyone is interested...

[fajitapita]

eehh? what NewS clip are you guys referring to?? it's been so long since i've watched news stuff.. or cartoon kat-tun for that matter. it started getting hard to be a johnny's fan when they started removing everything from youtube *bitter*

*looks up* NOOO piggers is my hubby! hahaha. or at very least our hubby. xp

haha. but yah... any word on the johnnys' upcoming dramas? i haven't even finished yukan club yet >.< or sushi oji...

oh! isn't Uchi going to be in one? exciting, ne? but i drno if the new NewS fans feel as attached to Uchi and Kusano. honestly, i was hoping kusano would get one too. but uchi was more famous to begin with i guess. kusano definitely needs to be put back in a band, though. *sigh* NewS' dancing just isn't as strong w/o him >.<

[80slitenite]

Poor Yamap. So many girls fighting over him. That's why he is safe at my house. *dellusional*


Have you guys seen the pv for kattun's Lips?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CII8sWk8kfo
They all look so hot. (well expect for Taguchi's hair -_-)
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g272/platinumtitan/kamelips--ai0no0ff.gif


Kame is the best jeanist and Maru is the best sunglasser XDDD (reference to CTKT epi 37)

[fajitapita]

hello hello...

for some reason i've had this relapse into fan-girling. which is horrible cuz i thot i'd given up the bad habit >.<

but i found this ryo clip, drno if minna have watched it yet. Ryo's date w/ Haru. so awkward/funny!! i like how he decides to get drunk to get through it^^
http://www.veoh.com/videos/v2228569cK7kt6QN

and does anyone have HQ scans of Yamapi in the Feb An-An? I didn't even realize he did this year's!!

*edit* ok. went into the piggy thread and saw the pics there. good thing i wasn't looking at them in lecture >.< lol. much more scandalous than matsujun's last year, ne?

[whozthat]

yeah fajitapita that anan pics were so horrible! okay, shall complain more on the yamaP thread instead :X

and i've this recent craze over JE boys recently! at first was only yamapi, but now it has increased to bakanishi jin and nishikido ryo! :X haha. i simply love ryo in Attention Please and bakanishi in yuukan club!

[JALYN:D]

I like their songs too, not bad. Hehe!
Btw, is Matsumoto Jun, in the 2nd picture, an actor too?
I think he acted in Hana Yori Dango before, as Doumyouji Tsukasa?
I like his acting, hahaha, very funny.

[pamujung]

Yes it's the same Matsumoto Jun who acted in Hanadan.
and most of the JE boys are actor ^^;

[whozthat]

hey guys!

found a website with numerous JE english subtitled videos! :D haha. i've been watching all of them recently! so yeah enjoy!

http://newshfan.livejournal.com/

[whozthat]

^ haha yeaps! i was thoroughly impressed as well :P

KAT-TUN's don't you ever stop is nice! :P can't wait to listen to the whole album! (: anyone heard them already?

[Bijun]

I really like Don't U ever stop's pv, though the song is still growing on me. I really like the mood their music is taking, though hopefully they work hard on their vocals.

Has anyone heard Jin's new song, Lovejuice? It's all in english and the beat's really good. I have to say out of all the members of Kattun I think Jin's voice is the best developed. I wonder if he'll ever try to go solo. X3

[fajitapita]

ahh.. i didnt know abt jin's song, must go listen! i actually think his english accent is pretty good, though he doesn't show off his english much^^ his voice is definitely the best out of them. but irno abt going solo.... he doesn't do enough to stand out in JE i think >.< his looks kinda get him by... i'm waiting for the rocks to be thrown at me by bakanishi fans.

to whozthat: yes, the livejournal communities are a great place to start browsing!! though horrible cuz they make you obsessive for up-to-date JE goods. haha, you totally get sucked in.

[whozthat]

^ hahaha which sites do you go! i need more JE lovee. i only visit NEWShFAN actually, and some other random sites :X

and yeaps! LOVEJUICE's gooooood. very catchy and makes me wanna dance~ haha. and i agree that jin has the best voice out of all of them! though i quite like nakamaru's too. i love his SMACK! especially the lyrics he wrote... duper sweet!

and bakanishi jin going solo? maybe he could release his own single. but i don't think he's good enough for a full album yet :P

[Bijun]

Yeah he's not ready yet to release a full album, but I feel out of all the Kattun members he's the most prepared to do so. And I also feel in the future he will have the strongest debut/album. I'm sure the others, will all want to release solo albums at some point, but I don't have strong hopes in any of them except Jin. (Not to say they're not enjoyable- just I wouldn't risk spending 40 bucks on an import when it's not utter goodness.

I do love LOVEJUICE too! It was first the lyrics that captured me. :bleh:

"The luscious drink your lips produce, I can taste that sweet lovejuice"

It sounded so naughty! Hahaha. And I think Jin is one of those who speaks good English. I mean, he's good considering he's a Japanese. XD

[xbabydevilx]
