So pretty...well...some of them. :mrgreen:

Maru & Ohkura definitely look cute, but look at Yu! He looks like a real woman! So pretty!

Yu...with his pretty pouty lips, yeah...he definitely looks like a woman. :mrgreen:

Baru - I hope your obaachan doesn't really sit like that... :hehe:

IMO, Yassu & Ohkura are definitely the 2 most emotional characters in eito, I've noticed it along the years. They are really open with their emotion. Subaru & Maru meanwhile, are very sensitive individuals but rarely share their (sad) feelings in public, preferring to hide them...

I've never seen Maru get upset. I've seen Baru get upset...once when he couldn't get the questions right for the Sushi quiz and he started crying but yeah, he was trying so hard not to cry but he just couldn't help it and the tears started. Poor baby...at least he got his sushi in the end so that was good for him.

That girl who runs the blog that has all the great downloads - she called Baru, Skull-chan...I thought that was really cute. Sukaru-chan - matches him. I think I'll refer to him as Sukaru from now.

You're calling him Sukaru now? So cute! :woot: Always reminds me that he's the only JE who has ever flashed his tattoo in public, just because his is a visible one to see. :)

the most crybaby among the eitos after uchi the whiner (don't get me wrong, i love him but he whines too much), i think, is yasu. look for the old honjani episode wherein they bakded/made christmas cakes and yasu cried because suba stole ht strawberry off his cake. man that was funny. an i'm still looking for the tennis episode where he cried after they won (as in tears streaming down his face!) :hehe:

Yassu is very very emotional ne! I actually want to cry myself when Yassu cried in that tennis episode...Seriously, everybody was so 'ganbatte' but they failed for so many times. And when Yu finally did it the last time, Yassu must have been overwhelmed with happiness that he cried. Yes, eito and their openness is really amusing! :)

I like most of the songs on FTO but didn't really care for Carnival or Taiyou no Kodomo at first. Now, since I've listened to the songs several times, I don't mind them. The only song I really don't care for is Misetekure.

I also have the Kanjani8 CD - the one with the orange-coloured cover. The songs are okay...I love the song Eden. I didn't like the Trance Mix of Naniwa Iroha Bushi, which was a bonus track. You can download the songs from this site:

http://pretty-boys.net/

It's a Ryo fan-site but has a lot of great Kanjani8 and News downloads. However, when I went to check the site this morning, it appears to be down at the moment...I hope it's not a permanent thing...

I like most of the songs on FTO too, especially Misetekure, Heat is on, Osaka Romanesque, ONE...this applies to non-singles like Sukiyanen Osaka, Mugendai, Oh!ENKA, coz' I love all three! :hehe: Osaka Rainy Blues KJ1 version is fine too, though it lacks Uchi's voice but they added more blues-y Subaru at first.

Songs I like from Kansha ni 8 mini album are Eden, All of me for you, Tabibito, besides Naniwa Iroha Bushi of course. I don't like the Trance Mix version of the song at first too, but it got on me after watching the Excite perf of this version. So cool! :woot: I think the world of the Winter Rock Mix of Naniwa though! :hehe:

Still, eito has sooo many songs not on CD yet, how could this happen? I want especially Do you agree? on CD!

It's Attention Please SP, the SP means it's going to be a dorama special, for like 2-hour or so...

And just heard that Yu is going to be in Nino's dorama! Not sure if he's a guest or not, but hopefully, he'll be a regular cast! I hope his character has a certain dark side to him...his villainous turn in DB 2006 is delicious! :woot:

There are only two songs in the limited version and four songs in the regular version. I wonder why.... :crazy:

Isn't it just another Johnny-ous way to get our money... :crazy:

I still remember one of the NEWS album singles, (was it Cherish or TEPPEN?), the regular version had the Fiesta song on it and the Fiesta song turned out to be one hell of an earcatchy song...
Johnny is taking a bath with coins that he gets -from the money we use to buy JE stuff- instead of H2O... :grumble:

jess: thanks for your explanation, I do watch the AP. but I just wonder what is the "Special" since WD said its about 2 hour drama.. so I think it just the continuous of the drama... arigato!

evil_zai: I didn't know that Ryo likes Mr. Children.. coz me too.

yup! he does! i think i remember reading before that he said mr. children is his favorite. just don't remember where.

yay the site is up again :) you can try it monta!

and oh.. there were a couple of christmas songs in F.T.O right? I quite liked them haha. :) but yeahh eden's my fave! (though i'm almost 100% sure you won't appreciate it, monta cos it's a slow song.. )

Jess...Yeah, I was so happy to see the site back up. It's a great site...not as much videos as the cattness live journal site, but still a good one, especially if you're also a NEWS fan. There were no christmas songs on the F.T.O. CD, however, there are 2 songs on their first CD, Kansha ni 8, that had something to do with Christmas/Winter.

You're calling him Sukaru now? So cute! :woot: Always reminds me that he's the only JE who has ever flashed his tattoo in public, just because his is a visible one to see. :)

WD...Yes, I think the pet-name fits him...Skull-chan...kawaii ne? But he's kinda aho-tare (bless his wee soul) putting his tattoo on his hand where he can't hide it. I always wondered why he didn't put it somewhere where it couldn't be seen...would have saved him the trouble of trying to keep it hidden with gloves, sleeves, etc. So, do you know if the other Kanjani have tattoos? Please tell! :D

I like most of the songs on FTO too, especially Misetekure, Heat is on, Osaka Romanesque, ONE...this applies to non-singles like Sukiyanen Osaka, Mugendai, Oh!ENKA, coz' I love all three! :hehe: Osaka Rainy Blues KJ1 version is fine too, though it lacks Uchi's voice but they added more blues-y Subaru at first.

I don't think I've ever seen the Winter Rock Mix of Naniwa Iroha...I'm going to search Youtube and see if I can find it. :victory:

Still, eito has sooo many songs not on CD yet, how could this happen? I want especially Do you agree? on CD!

Yes...I agree. And...Sukaru-chan definitely has to come out with a solo CD. I just love his voice...it's so beautiful. I absolutely love Navy Blue Tears and Owari no Nai Tabi.

Here's an odd thing - I've seen the F.T.O. CD advertised as having 15 tracks...but on both of the CD's I have (the single and double CD versions), neither one has the missing track - "Kimi Dake Ga." Why is that? Is this a hidden track? McFly (anyone know them?) did that to one of their CD's...and it took ages to find the hidden track. If there is a hidden track, I want to know the code so I can hear this song. Has anyone ever heard it?

Videos I watched tonight...part of the Honjani tennis epi - spanking each other's bums with the racket... :hehe:

Honjani Christmas Cake epi - Yasu sobbing when Sukaru took his strawberry...yeah, the tears were really flowing. Poor baby... :hehe:

A really old video called JK no Haran with very, very chibi Ryo, Yasu, Maru, Hina and 2 other boys (can't remember their names) and one very old man Ryo kept calling "Otosan". At first I didn't recognise any of them except Ryo, who looked like he was about 12 or 13 at the time. They took riding lessons but Chibi-Ryo was so afraid of the horse at first. They had to practically drag him to it...he had his heels dug into the sand...it was funny. :rofl: And then when they finally managed to get him onto the saddle, he couldn't control the horse...it kept moving backwards. I think he gave up because they showed him getting off his horse and while the other boys were galloping their horses, he was standing there watching them. I forgot to add...at the end of the show there was a performance by Chibi-Sukaru-chan...kawaii... :mrgreen:

And one of the Honjani quiz shows where if they guessed correct, they got to eat some special rice dishes. Maru didn't get any food at all...I felt so bad for him. :puppydog:

One thing I that kept me giggling...Sukaru was glued onto Maru throughout the whole show...it was like male-bonding to the extremes...I swear...I really thought Sukaru was going to kiss Maru at one point. Oh...and I can't forget...Yasu's pretty painted nails... :hehe:

evil_zai: I didn't know that Ryo likes Mr. Children.. coz me too.

So Ryo likes Mr. Children...? Me too... :dancing:

I was just asking about Mr. Children in the Japanese Music Requests/Downloads section. They've been around for a while but I'm having a difficult time finding a good site where I could download some of their songs. I've been given the names to a couple of good sites to try so I'll check them out later. :victory:

Oh yeah, Ryotan WORSHIPS Mr. Children, that's why I've been dieing to see Ryotan and Mr. Children on the same show together!! And my wish finally came true!!! Ryotan said the reason why he wanted to play the guiter b/c he was inspired by Sakurai-san ^____^ I hope Ryotan get's seated next to Sakruai-san and ZOMG, I hope they do the Mini-stage together, it would so great to see Ryotan go all fanboy-ish on us xD

And for those who bought the Limited Editions, apparently these are the colored bracelets that come with them:

Errr...some of the colors aren't even correct, I think blue and purple are too dark....maybe that's just me :sweat:
But I hope they show what the cover look like....if Ryotan LTD Ed. has a big fat picture of Ryotan on the cover than I'll be a very very very very happy girl :hehe:

Go Ryo...he gets to meet with his idols...and the man who inspired him. :dancing: I would love to see him get all fanboy-ish and giddy and I think it would be great if he got a chance to do a guitar performance with them.

@tenshi01 - Thanks for letting us know what the bracelets look like. I'm a bit disappointed. IMO, they are really just pieces of coloured string. Until you posted the pictures, I had never seen what the bracelets looked like and assumed it would be something better...like plastic with their names on it. I don't think I'll be rushing to buy the individual CD's now but...if the individual covers have their pictures on it...I'll definitely buy the Ryo CD. :victory:

OMG, that would be SOOO great if Ryotan could play the guiter with them :smitten: He would be happiest person on earth!! ^.^

Yeah, I'm slightly disappointed with the bracelets. I don't understand why they would just make it a string....do you just tie it on???...That's really cheap :hehe: They could at least make a clip at the ends so we can put them on :sweat:

I'm glad Ryo have the opportunity to meet his idol.. he must be happy.. sorry.. when would be the show?
hopefully those who watch it will tell me about it since I can't watch it..
currently I usually watch the clip of owari no nai.. and I saw there is a big screen as background.. what was the clip? thanks!

Not sure...couldn't see much of it...didn't look like something out of Dream Boys because looked like there was a woman in the scene. Interesting...anyone know?

Maru-Baru love. Skull-chan loves his Maru... :love2:

Hi all! I've Been wandering around the net for more good sites and found these:

http://www.jpopmusic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=55431&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=1575

For the Samurai Blues radio rip...I love this song. I also found the radio rip for Puropera but at this moment can't remember if it was on this site or not (gomen... :( )

http://forum.jphip.com/index.php

Some magazine translations here...not much but okay...as long as it has translations, I'm happy.

http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=lelola&keyword=Kanjani8&filter=all

This site is Translation HEAVEN!!! Tons of them...magazines, shows, songs, etc. Check it out! I've spent the whole weekend just copying as many translations as I could...I'm exhausted but extremely happy. I can finally understand some of the shows I had seen...like Sankyoudai Abake, some of the Honjani Obachan episodes, etc.

I don't think the others have any permanent tattoos, if they have, it's safely hidden. The thing about Subaru's tattoo is, that was part of the reason he got suspended for about a year, apart from him being the hot-headed, rebellious one. It's part of his rebellious days. I don't remember which happened first though, him getting the tattoo or him being rebellious, but apparently Yu & Hina were in the mess as well for supposedly standing up for him.

Chibi-Subaru was meccha meccha kawaii!! I'll always have this goofy face watching his old performances, and always wonder how the hell he's already a good singer when he's only in the agency for 2-3 years...And of course, at that time, he still has that young, innocent face...He wouldn't know what he would go through 2-3 after that.

About Subaru & Maru...have you ever seen THE PIC where both are in very suggestive kissing position??? :mrgreen:
