Yamada Ryosuke, solo?!

Alright, this will just be a quick blog post.

Just as my title states, Yamada Ryosuke is going solo!!

Alright, some of the details that I know about so far is that the solo single will be released January 9, 2013 and that the solo is called "Mystery Virgin" which is a song he sang during Johnny's World. And if I am not mistaken, the song is in English.

I know I should be very happy with what is happening to him and I truly believe he deserves this single. But I can't help but notice that this has happened to a few other JE groups as well such as Yamashita Tomohisa leaving NEWS and Akanishi Jin leaving KAT-TUN. I can't help but it lingers at the back of my mind that he might actually leave.

But Yamada promised us that he will still be working with Hey! Say! JUMP. But still, my feelings are completely torn for him. I feel like he really deserves this but at the same time, I'm scared that he might leave JUMP.

It is my worst fear that there will be another JUMP - 1 happening again.

JUMP: A 5-year Milestone

"迷い、迷い、迷って

それでも夢を夢を夢見て

思い届くと信じて行くまで"

Finally, we have hit a milestone.

September 24 is a very important date in my fandom life for it marks the anniversary of my most favourite boy band in the entire world, Hey! Say! JUMP. For some of you who don't know about Hey! Say! JUMP (or JUMP as some fans call it short) they are a 9-member band (formerly 10 </3) from Japan under the talent agency of Johnny's Jimusho or known as JE. They are divided into 2 sub-units called Hey! Say! 7 and Hey! Say! BEST where 7 contains the 5 younger members and BEST (Boys Excellent Select Team) contains the older 5 members.

Some of you may even ask what is so important about this particular September 24 compared to the other September 24 out there. Well, it just so happens that this year, Hey! Say! JUMP celebrates their 5th year anniversary of being an awesome boy band. I don't know how words can help me express what I feel for them. It just feels so surreal for me right now. It feels like after supporting them throughout whatever they have gone through over the years has been worth it because for me and to the other fans out there, they have given me happiness which no one else can give me.

Personally, I have been a huge fan of JUMP since they have debuted. I even remember the original Hey! Say! 7 which originally consisted of Takaki Yuya, Arioka Daiki, Yamada Ryosuke, Nakajima Yuto and Chinen Yuri. That time, I already fell in love with them and already pictured how big they would become in the future. Who knew that later on they would evolve into becoming a 10-member band? My love for them grew over the years and ever since then, they always have had a place in my heart no matter what sorts of rumours and troubles they went through. 

Original Hey! Say! 7
From L-R: Arioka Daiki, Yamada Ryosuke, Nakajima Yuto, Chinen Yuri and Takaki Yuya

They were, still are and will be the best band for me.

Members:

YABU KOTA (薮宏太)

       

Hmm, what can I say about Yabu Kota? I just love the way his eyes become small when he smiles and laughs. I love his voice in Together Forever and it just made me cry. He has one of the most angelic voices in Johnny's for me. Very unique. 

TAKAKI YUYA (高木 雄也)

       

Takaki Yuya, a man of what I can say of two sides. One being all so manly and strong while the other being a wimp. Takaki Yuya has a very unique voice in JUMP that's deep and very soothing for me. He's also a great actor! More dramas for you to come Yuyan!

INOO KEI(伊野尾競)

A genius pretty boy. Literally. I always complain about how Inoo Kei tends to be more prettier than girls. He is a beautiful boy and I mean literally. He is a tensai in his own matter being the only JUMP member to have entered university directly after high school. Also, he is taking up architecture. I should stop typing before he makes me rant again. 

YAOTOME HIKARU (八乙女光)

JUMP's resident joker and funny man. At first I never found his appeal but throughout the years I found out his charming points and that he really is a funny guy. He has never failed to make me laugh. Keep on rocking Yaotome Hikaru. 

ARIOKA DAIKI (有岡大貴)

Arioka Daiki, forever 15 years old. I swear, until now he still looks like a kid. He even looks younger than me. I don't even know what he is now. Is he like Benjamin Button or Dorian Gray? He is immortally young. And yes, I am jealous of it. 

OKAMOTO KEITO (岡本圭人)

To tell you the truth, it is Okamoto Keito that has bloomed the most in Hey! Say! JUMP. When JUMP actually started, he was just an average looking boy. But now, I can see his rocker dad and model mom in him. He's just tasty ok?

YAMADA RYOSUKE (山田涼介)

Yamada "fucking sexy" Ryosuke. He is my ultimate bias in Hey! Say! JUMP. I swear to god, if given the chance I would marry him or even rape him. He is like a fucking god who to me is perfect in every single manly and girly way. I love his voice and I am his ultimate fan. I have watched all his dramas and yes, I am totally in love with this boy. Why do you have to be so perfect?

NAKAJIMA YUTO (中島裕翔)

Nakajima Yuto for me is dubbed as my tall lanky drummer boy who has this amazing drumming skills and is freakishly tall. He is one of my favourite models and only recently has he made me swoon very badly with his Fine Boys shoots. 

CHINEN YURI (知念侑李)

Chinen Yuri for me has to be one of the most changed members of JUMP. His voice went from a very kawaii high pitched to his hoarse sexiness and also a very bold actor now accepting kissing scenes. I am just so fucking jealous ok?

And now, who am I to forget this guy?

He'll always remain to be a part of Hey! Say! JUMP to me. Guys, meet ex-member and the former baby of JUMP, Morimoto Ryutaro. For me, he was the best dancer in JUMP having had dance solos in JUMP concerts before. He is also cute ok? And to be honest, every time I see him, I wish that there would be one day where he would come back to JUMP and that I would see again a 10-member JUMP. But sadly, I know that it won't come true anymore. I know this. And even though it has been more than a year since he has left, there is still a part of me that doesn't want to accept it looking back at it from time to time. 

Morimoto Ryutaro will always be part of JUMP. 

I am a loyal fan of JUMP and I will always be. I may not be in Japan to be there supporting them every single time they have a concert or release a single or an album. I know that JUMP has not realized that such a fan as myself exists and I doubt that they ever will. But even though that this harsh reality continues; a lowly fan in another country who only dreams of meeting them and attending a concert; I still support them. I think this is a different kind of love that I have for them. Never once have I strayed from them and even through everything and every hardship I have gone through just to support them. 

Like people would say.

"If you want something, there will be a way for you to get no matter how long it will take. If you don't even try, then it's not meant for you."

I know that what I am doing isn't my best to support them as of now. But what can I do at the moment? But I swear one day that I will go to Japan and watch a concert of theirs. 

And if they notice me or even look at my direction, I think that would be more than I deserve as a fan. 

A 5-year milestone isn't the middle or the end for them. I think that this is just a new beginning. A reminder for them to say that this is how far they have gone and that they have more years for them to come. I believe and I know that JUMP will do great and will be great. They might not be as famous as those Korean groups, but with just their music, they have been able to captivate the heart of many fans. Not only girls, but also boys. 

JUMP will be great and will continue to be great. 

As a closing to this entry, I would like to give thanks to Johnny Kitagawa, the man who brought these boys together and have given them so much. Thank you Johnny. 

Long live Hey! Say! JUMP

ＨＥＹ！ＳＡＹ！ＪＵＭＰ、

おめでとうございますな！本当に大好き〜

Fifty Shades of Fucked Up Fangirling, a world Record

"Yesterday I was enjoying a nice bowl of frozen yogurt with crushed chocolate and chopped almonds at Red Mango, finishing up a book I had just begun. Apparently, I was so into the book that I finished it first leaving me with a bowl of melted yogurt." -- Was supposed to post this yesterday but I had to do my pending Olympic post.

It has lately been on the shelves of several bookstores I go to and I hear the title coming out from the lips of my own friends. Of course, not wanting to be left out and wanting to read a book again, I decided to try my hand at this book. So one of my friends send me a copy of the book and I started reading it.

And may I just say...

FIFTY FUCKING SHADES OF FUCKED UP MINDS is what it is.

So I read (and eventually got addicted) to the book entitled "Fifty Shades of Grey". To be honest, reading the synopsis really didn't interest me much. But after hearing all my friends and reading giddy reviews about it, I tried it. I mean, what could I possibly lose aside from precious time I should be using to do my homeworks and shit? Apparently, it lead me to a fucked up mind.

And the reason why it lead me to a fucked up mind is because this book is practically an instant fanfiction. What you just do is replace the main female character's name and Christian Grey with your bias'. And voila, you have your erotica fantasies in your head.

Yes, the book has sex. A LOT OF SEX.

My mom was even surprised when she found out I was reading the book. Well, she cant stop me now. I already finished it. Though, to be honest, I was slightly disappointed in the ending. It just made me "Ughh" and the worst part about it is there are two more books which I have yet to buy.

Good news on this end is that I have a friend who will be sending me the e-book. I love her so much.

I don't know why I got addicted to this book. Must be because of the lack of books I have been reading.  Or maybe it's because I can relate to Anastasia Steele about Christian Grey. Sad part on my end is that my Christian Grey doesn't even know I exist which is of course, saddening. Ugh, this book mixing up with the fandom is totally not good. It might take a while to get over it. But I must admit, this is one book that is sure to fuck up your minds.

I use the word "fuck" a lot cause in fairness, there is a lot of fucking going on in the book.

I swear, if Japan makes their own movie or drama of this book, they better have an awesome cast.

But I swear, this is an awesome book people should read. I mean, if you are immature though you might regard this as porn (which is totally not true) unless you are open-minded like me and accept this "porn" as just a type of love-making between two people.

Now I am on the second book since my friend sent me a copy. Well, she sent me the entire trilogy in three different formats. So now, I'm practically tensed up about what may happen in this second book since the plot is starting to spice up.

I know I haven't been blogging about JE but hey, what's new?

Except for the fact that I am praying for a Johnny's World DVD. I am serious this is a must. And just like all rare JE items, I will so buy this. No matter how much this will cost I swear I will buy this. This is like one of the biggest concerts to ever be produced by Johnny Kitagawa.

I really do wish I could go to Japan and watch this. This concert is expected to break a Guinness Record that Johnny himself already holds as the person to put up the most performances ever. The artist line up includes:
- Hey! Say! JUMP

- Sexy Zone

- A.B.C. - Z

- Tackey and Tsubasa (only Takizawa I think)

- Domoto Koichi from KinKi Kids

- Kaminashi Kazuya from KAT-TUN

Ugh, I swear to god this will be an awesome concert and I will so demand for a DVD. This is one of the things I look forward to like any other JE release.

Feeling British; Scones, Tea, Polo

July 28, 2012

This is none other than the day of the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. To be honest, I have been waiting for this day. Well, London it was July 27 now that I think about it. But gah! Still the Olympics, the biggest sporting event that happens every 4 years has now started. Except for the Archery and Football events that started early thinking of how many competitors have entered the sports.

So here's how my entire day went along.

Of course, being the hard core football fan that I am I decided to wake up at 3:30 am.

It gave me some time to roll around in bed a bit. I was only able to properly get out of bed was when my dad called me all the way from Italy (I miss you Papa!) just to tell me that the opening was about to start. Still being half asleep, it took me a while to find the channel that was broadcasting this live.

Here are some of the highlights that caught my attention:

Mind boggling topic the past few days: JE PORN

3G or stupid. I cant connect to the internet.

Wasn't able to write yesterday since I had a 6-9 PM class. *cries* And I got home around 10? Or 10:30 in the evening then i still did Math homework which I failed to bring to school today. Ugh, just stressful.

And now, I wasnt able to post this post on the day that I wanted to post this because I ended up deadbeat and had to do math. School has been beating me up seriously and now I get sometime to relax and calm down

To the fandom side now to clear my thoughts.

July 24 2012

July 24, 2012. Tuesday.

Woke up early today since mother wanted to go out and have coffee with me. So we went out and had coffee however, I still wasnt satisfied with only one cup of French coffee. So I decided to have a brunch of some sort in none other than McDonald's. After that i departed for school.

Going to school was fairly easy today. For the past few days I have been coming in from Fort Bonifacio. I've been cleaning some items out since living in a condominium has been quite expensive to maintain. And it's quite hard since I leave some items here and there between my houses.

Back to going to school.

It was fairly easy with the only thing to keep me entertained and happy from the awfully smelly people were songs from non other than JE pop groups Especially songs from "Love Chase" by Yamapi and "Chankapana" by NEWS.

Oh how i love Japanese music so much.

Only had one class which was noneother than math. I'm haply I can understand it better now. Though i got distracted while watching Kokuhaku in class. I know. I'm an idiot.
