Yes, TegoMass' "Miso Soup" will be released in Japan on the 20th of Dec. That's 3 weeks after KinKi Kids, 2 weeks after KAT-TUN, and a week after Kanjani8. Hmm, JE really loves releasing their boys' stuff like that.

heyo!
i'm waiting for the japanese version tOo! =)

monta hee, i tink the pv's ok but i like the tune n the lyrics of the song.. hee.. :woot:

Comparing popularity is not easy. Let's say that A is an established and accomplished artiste with a large fanbase. Then, along comes B, a new and rising artiste who easily gains an even larger fanbase within a short period of time. You can't just easily say that B is more popular than A. You've got to look which kind of audience the two of them appeal to as well. A may have a larger hold on the older age groups and cross-gender. B may appeal more to teenagers.
Then, you've got to look at how that popularity was gained. Did B have a larger fanbase because of his skills or because of his personality? Or was it because he simply had more marketing and more exposure? Did A struggle to get himself known, starting from the very bottom of the entertainment industry and did B just shoot straight to the top with the help of influential insiders? Comparisons are just not as easy as you think they are.
You can't say that B is going to be the next A either. Because they are two different individuals. It doesn't matter if B exceeds A in terms of popularity, B will just never be A, and A will never be B.

that doesn't change the fact that A is more popular... :beaten:

Yay i'm back from my holiday :) (with a bad flu though :bleh: )

Hey i agree with you, everyone's unique in his/her own way, i don't think the artiste will like himself being compared to others too.

Lol i just watched pi's new CM and arghh!! I still can't stand his hair :sweat: Quotes ryo-chan: Pi needs to cut his hair shorter ^^

And i really wonder if Johnny is a billionaire by now?! All the boys under him don't really get a lot ne? So by right all the money...

aww... but at least shit's not comin out of your nose too right?

I think they get pretty much, and yes Johnny is filthy rich.

Ehh... well it's not okay if you always compare but you do need comparison sometimes. Or you'll just be simply 'blinded' by this fanaticsm.

I thought Pi's hair was okay. Have you seen Nino's short hair? MY GOSH HE LOOKS TOTALLY CUTE (in a non-freaky way)... I have to say, he looks like a 15 year old boy!!!

noseshit is though.. not much better eh? It's just a greenier more fluidy substance.

nah heard that johnny's boys (unless they are seriously popular like kimutaku) don't get much. Most of the money from concerts/singles etc doiesn't go to them. Most of the money comes from CMs and dramas i think, and for people like say shige who doesn't get a lot of those.. It's even worse if they haven't debuted.

nino's the main character in stand-up eh? Isn't his hair already quite short then? You mean he cut it army-style?!

lol that sounds so fangirlish muahaha :woot:

nah, when i'm writing this you've probably been searchin the Arashi thread ne? totally cute!!!

I think they get more then enough once they debuted. and... they get this: facility. But i dun really know. It's their choice to work by studying how to do backflips :beaten:

But no matter how much they get being able to live in Tokyo... you'll get plenty once you convert it inti Singapore$ or Rupiah :beaten:

yeah la, i know you well enough to understand that your resources are kinda limited and often comes from jdorama.com. lol the next thing i'm going to expect is you cutting that hairstyle too?! *or maybe you already have* :hehe:

facility? Meaning? Like gym facilities and those mats they get to do their back flips?

well i got this from hadaka no johnny's:

From the more than one hundred Johnnys Juniors (all in all there are around 500), almost all start aiming for a debut around the age of twelve or thirteen. At first, they send their resume to JE. They get a call and are asked to attend at least one lesson. If they are invited to more, they get the right to call themselves Juniors.

They have a tight schedule for dance and singing lessons after school on a weekday, all day on a holiday. Whoever manages to shine in these lessons becomes a backdancer for one of the star senpai. Among all Juniors, these are usually 10% or 20%. They don't get more than only several thousand yen for one concert though.

Next, they start appearing now and then in dorama and commercials, which pays 100 000 yen a month. Among those Juniors, there is a handful (1,2%) who earn 200 000 yen a month - until they debut, they won't earn more than that. If they haven't had any success until they are around eighteen years old, they are told to give up hope and leave Johnnys Entertainment. A lot of former Juniors then become freeters or hosts.

just too lazy to do the conversions

I am not very good with how to best say this, but to the guys/girls who put it up, I SAY ARIGATOU. you've done me at least a wonderful, wonderful favour, especially the one who has put so much effort into Shigeaki's page. thank you x 1000000000000!

the ONLY drawback is that the perfomances section, they seem to get 'stuck'. if there's anyone who has the following performances, could you please upload them?

oh yeah :banghead: how could i miss your avatar?! Sighh i'm wondering when jdramas can re-enter our media, it has been kdramas and kdramas so much that i'm sick of the overly-cliche and melodramatic stuff already. Yup, like you i have been influenced by my really small group of jpop/jdrama fans which led me into this japanese craze ;)

hmm.. private hearts and arigatou no ima.. What do you mean by that? Do you want the mp3s or video clips? If it's video clips do you mean shounen club performances or their concerts? :) I think i have all of those :)

umm as for the performances, i think i uploaded most of them here: http://community.livejournal.com/news_jpop/523559.htm

I think there's a thread to put up a picture of yourself... where was it again... :beaten:

No... not empty ones. a DVD of any artist usually costs 7000-9000Yen if i'm not mistaken

Nino = C-U-T-E, i don't often call guys cute you know... i think he's the only guy i've called cute... the hair is totally funny.
