"X times Y" ... Bakanishi!!

I forced my friends V & W to watch SUMMARY's backstage with me since we were bored and I just finished downloading it and we ended up talking about it later online. They know all of NEWS' 8, but only half of KAT-TUN. So first impressions:
W: "taguchi = changmin look alike. ueda = the super fugly creeper*. koki = friendless creeper but he was funny. nakamaru = the only one i knew other than jin and kame in the first place but hes massus best friend and hes MC with koyama (god why cant i remember gov stuff that easily =_=) kame = he was the best charachter in nobuta, but apparently he sucks. jin = is pregnant with yamapis child. "
*her words, not mine D:

If someone not in fandom AT ALL (I force it down her throat, but that doesn't count :Dv) thinks that... well, that says something.


There's not really anything new in here and it's not very thorough. So it's basically a picspam with fangirling and tons of sparkles. But I still want to type this:
PIN PIMP POST

( NOT SORRY FOR KILLING YOUR INTERNET :P )

Yamapi wrote the song 'World Is Yours' on his 3rd solo single, One In A Million. He said that he wrote it for a close friend. As a delusional fangirl, I would like to think that it's for Jin regarding his recent departure from KAT-TUN:

透明の道　 色付くよ 不思議なほど　鮮やかに
両手いっぱい　筆を持って さぁ　描けよ　誰にも描けない　明日を
I can fly　できない事なんてない 大空 羽ばたく　未来が見える
Trust yourself 信じて　君の力 大空 羽ばたく　翼があるだろ
World is yours~

Let's paint the transparent path with a miraculous vividness
Hold on to the brush with both hands, let's paint. Let's paint the tomorrow that no one else could.
I can fly, nothing is impossible. Spread your wings towards the sky, and you can see the future.
Trust yourself, believe in your strength. Just fly towards the sky, you have wings, right?
World is yours~

Japanese lyrics transcribed by Facebook's A-chan, translated by me with jisho.org and summer course knowledge.

What more do you need? They advertise it themselves. Pi shows Jin off in a non idol magazine. Jin's dog's named Pin, okay. Jin's mother chose that name. It's nice that his mother is supportive of this relationship. /bricked.

Spread the Pin love! \o/
Feel free to correct me / add on! :D
and just let me know if links are messed up or I have to reupload anything
...or if you're a subber and you don't want your stuff here :(

Please don't bother any of the sources with requests (like, if an original post is locked, don't add the person just to see that post)-- just ask me and I'll hopefully be able to help.

I started this in December 2009, and finished it July 2010. I apologize for it being choppy and not flowing together, but I did it in chunks spread over a long time period. I know that it isn't as professional and cool as other pimp posts, but I tried ;__;


EDIT: DON'T HOTLINK, PEOPLE. I just got a warning email about my bandwidth from Photobucket.
EDIT 2: DAMMIT MY BANDWIDTH EXCEEDED. I'm not going to bother reuploading all of these pictures. My limit will reset August 18th. I wonder why Photobucket didn't remove my images yet though it sent me an email... It's all gone ;__; I hope you hotlinkers are happy.

I don't care that this is my 3rd time posting today

There was a post on news_jpop about how their number of pages in some magazine are decreasing and the entire post was ~omg why so inactive~ etc. I just... don't want the OP to attack me there so I'll talk about NEWS however I like on my own journal.

Am I the only person that likes NEWS for how they can have all separate activities? Okay sure, so I'm mostly a Yamapi fan which is why I love all his solo stuff, but I really do like the rest of NEWS just as much, I'm not like those "pipi-chan so kawaii ne" fans.

Seriously, isn't it a benefit to NEWS that they can be a group where all of their members can have separate activities? I understand that there is a popularity gap like Yamapi, Ryo | KoyaShigeTegoMasu, but you're going to have that in every group. Unless Johnny-san made a group with Yamapi, Jin, Kame, Toma, Ryo, and Matsujun. Actually, there probably still would be a popularity gap-- it would develop eventually. Not to mention that that would be a very strange group.

Anyways, maybe I'm too positive, but whenever fans worry about NEWS breaking up, I just laugh at them. Are you fucking serious? I know that they haven't done much this year. That doesn't mean they're breaking up. They had a single that charted at 11th on the yearly charts even though there wasn't that much promotion, why the hell would Johnny disband them now. If he really hated NEWS like people say, then NEWS wouldn't have come back during that 2006-2007 Countdown. Johnny-san doesn't like one group more than another, he's there for the money. Of course there's people in the agency he likes more, but really, I think he uses his marketing skills, not favoritism. Arashi is just selling crazy well, why would he not use this opportunity to the fullest?

Maybe it's because I became a NEWS fan this year that I can't actually see their inactivity. I think that's probably it. But I like NEWS this way. Of course I want the members to actually see each other and interact with each other, but I do know that Yamapi and Ryo are still in a separate league from "the rest of them." I believe that they're all friends now, but that doesn't change the fact that Japanese people (hell, superficial LJ-ers like me too) like Yamapi and Ryo more.

"Ryo won't be with NEWS for Countdown, of course NEWS is breaking up!" ... At first I didn't get why people were saying that Ryo wouldn't be at Countdown because all I do for Kanjani8 is watch eitokickass. After finding out that Ryo won't be at Countdown with NEWS because Kanjani8 is having a concert tour, I thought "aww no Kanjani8 at Countdown this year" instead of "no Ryo in NEWS." Maybe that seems more rational to me because I'm a brat and I think that I'm always right.

It's 11:11 and I wish for NEWS fans to stop whining and just get along.

I refuse to put this under a cut, so for those of you who read this, you get a prize!

scans of some random NEWS book full of papa pics from Kinokuniya~

preview:




MF zip - 51 pictures
my scanning skills are nonexistent, but really, who cares.

I'd share it at news_jpop so more than 10 people get to see it, but idk how official it is / I don't want a bunch of annoying people commenting about paparazzi pictures.

Feel free to share the link / reupload / whatever.

I think I'll go for a midnight run to nowhere, everything's closed. If my dad gets away from the TV and goes to bed any time soon.
