It's true what they say, where there's smoke, there's fire lol well I guess by now we've all heard/read about Kame and Yamapi's new drama

Though, while many seem to be excited about this KamePi reunion, I really don't care much for it. I'm just glad for more KT work at prime time (Nakamaru's new bangumi is also prime time), since it has the benefit of more spotlight on KAT-TUN's Kamenashi and what it will do for KAT-TUN~ it's like a revamp for Yamapi and KAT-TUN.

Details on the drama~


( boku, unmei no hito desu )

Let's just all have a HYPHEN group hug （◜◡◝）

I love love looooove how busy everyone is! Kame now in full 'on' mode to promote his movie, Ueda super busy and visible on his drama (I'll get back to this soon), and Nakamaru landing a lead role in another drama. There's so much to be thankful for~ even though they're not together~ But now that everyone is hard at work, I feel like even though apart, they're still connected working hard to one day return to us as a group... stronger

And can I say how PとJK seems like the romance cliché that gives me secondhand embarrassment? lol~ but I'll take anything to see Kame-chan lovey dovey with some twist of agony XD

And I miss Kame's black hair... and that sorta Levi cut. Now, every time I see a pic or vid of him with the brown hair, I always think it's old hehe his brown hair is nostalgic.

OKAY, back to Tatsuya's drama; Shikaku Tantei Higurashi Tabito


Though, I'm more interested in how pretty Tatsuya is all dolled up in a wedding frock... and the kiss itself; the way he angled his head and held the 'groom' around the nape and the neck... Tatsuya is obviously a passionate kisser *breathes in and out*

And so I sighed countless times since Sunday because not so long ago, I was able to choose and refuse gifs and vids~ but now it saddens me that I couldn't find a gif for this epic moment to post on LJ (I'm also mourning the discontinuation of vine)... and since I'm useless at making things, I always depend on others' talent. With that said, I miss our fandom that was so busy that if I missed checking in for a few hours, so many things would have happened that it would take quite a bit of time to catch up.

People were always here. And things were always happening.

Now I see people jumping into other fandoms, and it's ok... it really is. I just hope that when KAT-TUN returns, so will the crowd of HYPHENS to welcome them XD

Shikaku Tantei Higurashi Tabito ep. 3

So Ueda was/is in Indonesia?! somewhere around Oct 28? (shows up at about the 45secs mark)

Seems to have been on a sort of graffiti cleanup project team from Japan?

Wow, talk about surprises.

Well, I'm glad he's doing something.

It's good and all for the environment and promotion...?

And not too long ago, he was seen in Shanghai Airport, right? What went on there?

Well all we can do is just wait to see where all this is going.

Us, Potatoes~

You know, two years ago when Koki left, I made the instant decision that these guys can't be trusted. It's sad but it's the truth. And so, many times, without even noticing, while the other four members tell us how much they love us and will never leave us, in the back of my mind, there was a voice shouting 'liar... liar... liar'. That's how much Koki's leaving or rather, firing affected me... since that day, I decided that as much as I love them, KAT-TUN can not be trusted... not Kame, not Nakamaru, not Tatsuya and not even the crying Junno. Even when all the members gave their messages - apologies taken - apologies understood - but I always felt like one day soon, another member will betray those feelings they tried so hard to convey. I don't know much about Jin, but for the five members I grew to love, I really don't think they are bad people.  I really think they love us and I do believe that whatever promises they make to us, that they honestly think they'll be able to deliver... but mankind is mankind.

But of course, even with all the expectation and self-defense of distrust, you can never be prepared for a member leaving a haven you've grown to love.

Nothing could have prepared me for Junno's leaving.

( And I could've said the same for Koki but I think Junno was... is... was... is... good for KAT-TUN... )On a 'member ai' basis, I can see Nakamaru and Ueda being good together... Nakamaru and Kame being good with each other... and Kame and Ueda being good together, I can see all three of them being good together BUT, it's really Junno who perfectly blends and naturally smudges the lines between everyone.


JunDa... this OTP of mine might prove to be a whole different and difficult hurdle. Btw, I recommend playing the audio for this clip ^^ *Sooo cute*

( I hope Junno is happy with the choice he has made... but for now, just for now, for the time being, I hope he's just as miserable and losing sleep the way we are now. My misery needs company! )

But, you know what's even crazier?

If I could do it all over again... If I could go 5 years back to that day I first stumbled upon them... then unblinkingly... curiously... without hesitation... very gladly... and simply naturally... I would choose KAT-TUN again.

It's Spring. And apparently, JE thinks money grows on tree like cherry blossoms

「KAT-TUN LIVE TOUR 2014 come Here」 dvd release: 22nd April, 2015

Three versions: ￥6,296 +￥6,296 +￥4,444 + tax

I guess I'll stock up on more cup noodles.

...and then we all awoke or came home to details of ♪Kiss Kiss Kiss

I laughed when a friend texted to me say, "I still haven't even received my CDs (♪Dead or Alive) and they've announced the release date of the 24th single". XD ~

Release date: March 11, 2015

And no complaints. Of course!

Although,

Flipping tables that I won't get a JunDa duet aside, and focusing on the bigger picture (can't believe I just said this), I very much like this idea of having duets ^^

I think I can expect something good and vibesy and energetic from Junno x Nakamaru. However, I can't imagine how Kame x Ueda will fare. But! because it's Ueda, and I know he has good skills in musical arrangement, I'm looking forward to this release of theirs. I'm also very happy that it seems we'll get a DVD for these songs as well XD

Well I said 'no complaints' but except one... how many posters does JE intend to give as 'bonus gifts'? I still don't know what to do with the DoA posters and really, I'm over posters... I don't want anymore. Can't their marketing team figure out another 'cheap' way to get sales?!

And with that said... Happy Monday! I'm counting down to Second Love ♡

Imagine how the day started with this awesome crack ListenRadio CM with KAT-TUN... then a few hours later, there was the buzz about the release of ♪ In Fact on 06/04 with the promise of a cool and fashionable KAT-TUN, charming to the core with a catchy melody and gorgeous dance moves... then you read further and realise;

1. The VERY LONG AWAITED Kamenashi solo, is not happening (well it's not listed); and


2. There will be a Katsumode DVD - but only 10, 000 lucky fans will be blessed with this from a lottery...

Sometimes, most times... JE is beyond any logical comprehension.

A lively catchy song^^ I love the blend of their voices - the ups and downs in their lovely harmony... It'll make a good coupling song :-)
