KANJANI 8

shinshin wrote:Ava, try searching tako_pop in ebay. She has really good deals :) Ako sad, di ko makabasa ug hapon. akong gi-apas kanang mga pics lang haha. i think i have about 6 or 7 of those mags from fall of last year. i think one of the reason i stopped buying was because Jin left haha. But I think I'll start buying again once my fave idols come back to the lime light :mrgreen: I'm taking nursing and I have two more years to go. I plan to work for at least a year, save, and then go to Japan to learn the language. I really don't know if it's going to work out, but we'll see what happens. You know what they say... if there's a will, there's a way lol.

sino ba si way kc kilala ko si will eh! hahahha joke time muna!
ok thanks! i hope she has a nice feedback ne! i went trying to hunt some jin uchiwas in ebay before but i havent seen one...
oo nga, im an original jin fan, after 2 weeks he declared his hiatus tpos nung first, it was ok coz i have to cope up w/this fandom ne, i had to watch alot of jin and KT clips... then sometime around december, i was really really bored now and JIS HIATUS at that time really sinked in so i started searching for another one ~ thats where i discover NewS coz of kusanos shes all mine perf... then right now, these past week bored to death na naman ako sa NewS ~ depress because of kusano and uchi ~and i had a chance to watch DB ne, and thats where i came stumbling in KANJANI8 land.. actually i knew subaru sometime in december and the k8 as well but i didnt dare yet to enter their world kc no. 1 magastos, and no.2 wla akong time... so here i am, when i watched them in countdown perf~~ and when i saw subaru ~~ DANG! ayun na! wla na! the rest is history...

i would say alot of akanishi fans as well as other KT fans were bored too after jins hiatus ~~ kita mo ngayon, nghahanap muna sila ng libangan habang wla pa si jin... coz once jin comes back ~~ fans as well will dedicate themeselves to KATTUN again...

but nway, i like kanjani8 esp subaru coz hes really my type! plus rebelde pa gurl! like kusano and jin...lahat na yata ng gusto ko nawawala lagi... nauna lang si subaru... hehehehehe

r u new in this fandom ba?? who do u like in k8 btw?

and yeah, i dotn read kanji or even speak fluent japanese.. mga pick up words lng usually..hahahah pero i love to be a subsriber kc nga pictures din habol ko dun!! wahhh ill go check ebay right now safe ba tlga sya girl? i mean marunong tumupad?

Oo, maayo man cya! She has good feedback, and she sends the stuff pretty fast. She also gives discounts on each mag you subscribe to.

Haha, looks like you're into the bad boys eh? Ako din, sort of lol. I started my JE obsession around late 2005. After KT, I moved on to K8 because of Ryo and disregarded NEWS at the time. Somewhere along the way I realized I liked Uchi, and since I'm already familiar with K8, I moved on to NEWS and see what the fuss was all about. And sure enough, I was sucked into it :hehe:

wow! ang tagal mo na pla sa JE WORLD ne! i started liking JE last sept lang... hahaha im still a newbie but i had my transitions... way back before, when i watched the summary perf w/NewS and KT, most of the time i hit the fast forward button coz i dint know NewS as well as other KT members at that time.. my eyes were only glued to jin and kame.. i even hate yamapi there... then i get to watch spostsfest and did alot of skipwatch coz i dint know the senpais except for takky and matsujun... tand then when i started liking other bands and watched alot of doramas i was able to know quite alot of other je boys... so when i rewatched those summary and sportsfest videos ~ i was like ~ ah nagase un ah! ah ate naman si tsubasa.. mga ganon ba! hhehehe sme with the magazine, when i bought my first je magazine ~ i rmbr i only knew KATTUN and matsujun and some arashi members and ofcors yamapi... and i even thot okhura was shirota yuu in novs 06 wink up magazine..hahahah and just last week, i scanned again those magazines ~ i was a bit surprise i saw alot of familiar faces like teshi,masu, and k8 esp SUBARU! so un nga, parang grabe mas marami na akong alam compared dati... hehehehe


oh yeah, i was checking her list awhile ago, i didnt see any subscriptions there, mostly old issues... she had wink up or potato mag i think back issue where kanjani8 as cover models..i was tempted to bid on it kaya lng its old issue... but i sent her an email about the subscription...

Oi, di pud inun-ana oi. For about a year I only focused on KT, and then I started branching out to others. I only became a fan of K8 4 months ago, and NEWS around last month lang haha. So I'm really not better off than you :sweat: Before I had some trouble remembering all their names and knowing who's who. Because when I first saw the guys, it's hard to tell them apart haha. But then it's not too long until you get the drift. I would show clips to my friends and they would jokingly ask if some of the guys are quintuplets or if all of them are related haha. Mga buang jud.

Takki was the first JE guy I laid eyes on, which was 3 years ago. Cute man gud cya so lisud jud ma-miss iyang nawong :hehe: But all I do is look at pics, clips, and dramas. I don't really spend time on the internet looking for news and updates of the guys. Tapulan man gud ko. This forum is my main source of JE news practically.

Tinuod ka? You don't think Ryo and Uchi belong in a "boyband"? I think they're perfectly suited to be in one kase naman they're pretty boys with good voices haha.

About that seller, she only offers subscriptions if you ask about it. I don't think she advertises it in her auctions. Oi, salamat sa pics ha!

gurl, actually pareha lang jud kayo ta! asi in mga tapulan!
when i was new in JE, i had a hardtime memorizing their faces and names... i really do have a poor memory to begin with... up until now, i dont remember the japanese titles ~~ i only memorize those names and song tracks i like...nevertheless, i still manage to cope up w/this fandom...
u know what, this is the first time i became active w/forums/thread ~ during my f4 days im using the internet to surf and save alot of pics for them..but when i join JE ~ its diff... my first thread is Asianfanatics and thats they only source i have for all je news... i dint bother to joining other thread and search up or google/wiki them before... my forum pinay frends told me that i should look for other resources and open LJs and stuffs... well i manage to join other threads but i never retrieve my LJ password ~~ as i said ~~ i have a big memory gap! hahahhha

speaking of boyband ~~ not the general boyabnd meaning ne... i mean those teeny boppers dirrrttyy pop boybands like that ~ like f4, NewS... ryo and uchi have this badboy aura and NewS is definitely a clean cut goodie boybands except for kusano...thanks to kusano he somewhat made me like NewS... im into boybands w/attitude ne... thats why i prefer ryo and uchi in k8... but its ok to see them in NewS as well...

***
and i just found out suba was arrested before and yoko fond of making rumors like he said before that he was on drugs and hina corrected him by saying he was on medications...and yoko before said he was gay and again hina saves the day.. hahahhaha
really these guys are pretty funny... am glad hina is always there, while subas okaasan always there for yoko and hina...
and suba is one of johnny favorites..wow i learnd alot about k8 everyday ne... :dancing:

K8 debuted was w/ their single Naniwa Iroha Bushi which was released only in the Kansai region on August 25, 2004 then it was released nationwide on September 22

Subaru is 165cm tall (5'4" :sweat: ) but Yasu is right there with him xD

Hmm, I think Uchi and Ryotan both belong in JE, Uchi more than Ryotan though, b/c I can acutally picture Ryotan outside doing his own solo things...while Uchi, he just fits the "boyband" image too well xD

miLk_sHake wrote:@WD
oh righty... ive just heard that he takky and tsubasa had an argument before and tsubasa was on the verge of quitting JE but decided to continue since he had alot of sacrifices during his jr years...
and there was a time hina was upset of subaru because subaru WAS/IS 'vulgar' and he had alot of 'bad' things goin on before... but hina gave subaru a a chance, he somewhat 'molded' subaru to aecome a 'better' person... im glad hina was there all along.. it makes me want to love hina more... hahaha no way ~~ im a subaru fan... and yeah im in my full peak of fangirling ne... coz this take my mind off to all jin and kusa business... another alternative will help me stay in JE... hehhehe

Aishiteru, aishitenai <-- i havent heard or see this perf yet... but i did saw a perf of subaru w/takky in their junior years... theyre all so chiby ~ esp subaru..dint know subaru once looked like an angel... hahhahaha

and may i ask, is subaru and TxT now in good terms?? :fingerscrossed:

chameleon?? u mean a camelot swords man?? err i dont get the picture...and yeah i love his dread locks look in kanfuu.. i love his hari actually.. u rarely see a japanese guy w/that kind of hairstyle... most of them had long wavy blond/brownis hair... but subarus hair really rocks!!!

btw, when did kanjani8 debut?? and im really curious ~ how tall is subaru?

I seriously think that Ryo's self-proclaimed 'Sexy Osaka Man' is slowly but surely being threatened by dear sexy drummer boy! Really! Oh my, Ryo's fans are gonna kill me for that!

really? hahhhaha i never get to see his 'strip off' show... i nver been as crazy to ryo-chan when i watched him in 1LOT ~~ hes really ok to me demo ne hes not really my type... hes really cool and kinda bossy and i luv his voice but other than that ~~ hes just an average in my in my point of view..no offense to those ryo fans... but i like his bad ass attitude sometimes :sweat:

But someone in JE still clearly loves him so much, dakara he can return.

ano sa, im kindof pondering about this ~ w/his 'unique' attitude (i agree, not even kusa and uchi can match up w/him), he was able to get back w/JE and KANJANI8... so i was wondering we still have hope for kusa and uchi, so deshou? and do u have any idea whos subarus secret back-up for JE mgt??

and yeah before i forget, i know my avie is GREAT!!! hahahah subaru is sugokunei!!

Well, the time when Hina didn't like Subaru was around the first time he met Subaru, that was before they became best friends. I think that around that time, Hina was already close to Yu, but unlike Hina/Subaru, Yu/Subaru hit it off from the first moment they met because both really are the same inside. I don't know how Hina got to be one of Subaru's best friends afterwards but I think he must have seen how Subaru got that good qualities that drew them to each other, hence the threesome all K8 fans have come to love! :hehe:

Well about the Sexy Osaka Man thing, it's actually self-proclaimed on Ryo's part haha!

You know how the media keep saying that JE letting Uchi & Kusano back to JE is a miracle considering the 3 former Tokyo Juniors who were fired right before FIVE (which should have included Takki & Subaru) debuted? Subaru's case is even more miraculous too, considering that he's already 20 at that time and going rebellious to the point of confronting Johnny himself, but was still let back to Kansai Jrs and consequently into K8 later on...Yup, been wondering which one of the Johnny's upper guys who love him so all this time too. But there's a theory to it, he was after all a top junior and if Takki was 'Takki of the East', he was 'Subaru of the West'. :)

Let me see if I can dig 'Aishiteru Aishitenai' perf from my PC. Hmm, about T&T, I don't recall him saying or mentioning about T&T ever since the incident, so I don't know if they're on good terms now. But Takki once (or twice) has spoken fondly of Subaru, like during their junior years, they fought almost every day but then made up in just like 15 minutes after that...that's how close those two were. In fact, before the incident, Subaru listed Takki & Tsubasa as his best friends in JE along with Yu & Hina.

Chameleon is like that lizard-kind-of animal who always changes colour depends on his surrounding? That's what I meant with Subaru...his looks often depend on the way he chooses to style his hair! :hehe:

Oh yeah, a little history on K8:

Officially formed (and announced on Honjani): December 2002
Debuted (or semi-debuted, whichever you choose to believe): August 2004 with Naniwa Iroha Bushi in Kansai area only (yup, JE is biased and they don't have the extravagant debut PR and con like Arashi, T&T, NEWS and KT had). The overwhelming response to the single prompted JE to release the single nationwide on 22 September 2004 (Subaru's birthday!), and debuted at no.1 on the Oricon chart.

Oh I forgot! Subau mentioned Takki in the interview on SC Premium on Dec 17! Totally forgot about that...

A kind soul has uploaded the mp3 for the songs 'Greedy' and TOKIO's 'Mr.Traveling Man' which Subaru performed on that show here: http://community.livejournal.com/kanjani8/380158.html

Love Subaru's voice in both! :muack:

Dug through my k8 stuff and found Subaru's Aishiteru Aishitenai, it's an mp3, so here you go: http://www.sendspace.com/file/akyda0

Oh and from the top of my head I remember Subaru performed it on SC 06.19.2005, which I did upload before on my LJ but seem the link has expired...but you can get the ENTIRE SC episode here: http://destined.to/himitsu

Very beautiful pics from Potato Feb 2007! :muack:

yeah i just found out 2days ago suba stands 167cm or 5'4
altho hes really short for a guy but hes taller than me for 4inches... yosh!!!
thanks for the upload link! :dancing:

@WD
really? so suba did mention takky last year ne?? *sigh*
oh wait! i dint know takky was rebellious before... i thot he was as clean cut as kame or yamapi...
but they say subas mom takes care of hina yoko coz hina always look to those two...
and suba they say was arrested before ~~ i really dont know yet the reason but they say it is related to drugs/underage smoking, and oome underage crimes ~~ not really that big of deal (for me) thats why when i get to know this stuffs ~~ it made me love suba more... *sigh*

and about hina, he was yokos saviour up till now coz they say yoko loves to humor ppl buy creating rumors...
like before he said that he was on drugs w/c hina corrected everyone since yoko was on medications before...
and yoko used to tell ppl before that he was gay w/c actually made ppl feeling akward after that but then again hina saves the day but correcting it... so u see, yoko is really a funny dude!
and i love their team up ne, yoko,suba and hina ~~ theyre far diff from NewS and KATTUN i think since theyre more STUPIDier and doesnt mind what others think... theyre cool man!
iso johnny dint gave them a BIG DEBUT like KATTUN and NewS ne?? was it because theyre from kansai? coz i reckon osaka or tokyo jrs are more popular and look pretty compared to kansai boys who look prat but still kawaii... hahahah

where can i dl the one concert btw?? i wanna see the backstage clip particularly i wanna see all 8 members doing baka things... i was looking for it in yesasi the other day but i dint saw one... hmm..

btw, thanks for the brief history and the scans....

Then you're also taller than me! I'm just 160cm, and for sure that both Yassu & Subaru are taller than me! :hehe:

Nah, Takki was not that rebellious, remember that he's the Jrs leader. Subaru became rebellious AFTER he drifted apart from both T&T.

Haha, Yu is like that ne...You know how up until now K8 is a bit safe from nasty rumors? I think that Yu somehow got bored and created them himself! :hehe: What a naughty boy! And still, he's my 2nd fav in K8...Say, do you have a 2nd fav in K8 now?

K8 are TOO CLOSE to each other. How often can you hear members in the other groups list their own band members as best friends? Subaru, Yu & Hina are each other's best friends, and yet they're also friends with the other members. You'll hear stories about how Yu took Ryo & Ohkura to Disneyland and were forced to spend the money on them just because he's the oldest. Or how Hina took Maru on a Korean trip, twice. Or how Subaru spends his time shopping with Yassu. Or how Ryo took Ohkura to Okinawa for a getaway, just the two of them.

Found this on a K8 trivia on the current calendar:
"Although they spend so much time together as it is, even after work, they go eat together, randomly wanting to hang out."

They don't get bored with each other, do they? :woot:

I'm still confused to why JE didn't give them a big debut. I reckoned that they hailed from Kansai and JE didn't think they could be popular again after years of hiatus. In a way, I think that JE underestimated Kanjani8's power. The sales of Naniwa Iroha Bushi in Kansai took JE by surprise. Who would have thought that an enka release by a JE group could top the enka chart? And when they finally released the single nationwide in September and it went to no.1, again, who would have thought that an enka song by a relatively new group could top the overall chart? It was unheard of coz' it really has been a long time since an enka song topped the chart like that.

Here's a site where they have pretty good history of K8: http://wiki.theppn.org/Kanjani8

i stand 5 feet flat! i think suba is the smallest? or was it yassu? lolz

well i do have k8s ranking now..here it is
1. subaru
2. tecchon
3. yoko
4. hina
5. yassu

its not really official yet but uchi,ryo and the rest is somewhere around there...lol its because i havent really check the others yet thats why... but the first 3 is official i think..but when i heard about hina being a GOOD friend to suba and yoko ~ he made me want to put him up in the top 1 list but ofcors not! im totally inluv w/subaru!!! kyaaa... and i just receive my duet back issue and gosh! suba had blond hair in there... :mrgreen:

i think all kansai jrs are really pretty close compared to osaka/tokyo jrs since i think kansai arent really prioritize when JE decides whos to debut... and theyre helping themselve and recognize each other...

they say JE dint give them a debut since when it comes to debuting ~~ mgt is more focus to osaka/tokyo units than kasai units...i guess JE didnt anticipated their success after k8s first single was release... but up until now, i wonder why JE havent decide yet to let k8 go oversease like KATTUN and NewS eventho KANJANI8 is as successfull as NewS and KATTUN in japan... maybe they were like SMAP ne??

oh my, im too lazy to join or sign up in a community...my only resource right now is forums and YT ... lolz but thanks for sharing those links
i might drop there incase im bored...

I think built-wise, Subaru is the smallest, but he's like 2 cm taller than Yassu. :) I love it though when those 2 chicchai boys are together together...they're so cute being around each other! I feel like wanna give them both a hug haha! :hehe:

Eh you mean Tacchon? It's so cute how Yassu named him this and the others particularly Ryo fondly call him that since then. :) So you got a K8 ranking now? I can't particularly decide my no.5, I think 4 of them occupy the same spot haha! My ichiban would be Subaru of course, then Yu, then Maru then Yassu. So that makes Hina, Ohkura, Ryo & Uchi at no.5, though I tend to prefer Hina these days hehe...

Actually Kansai refers to Osaka/Kyoto/Kobe area, and not surprisingly K8 are made up from all these 3 main regions. Subaru, Yu, Hina, Ryo, Uchi & Ohkura are Osaka boys (with Yu & Hina's family houses pretty close to each other, Hina & Subaru have mutual friends, and Ryo & Ohkura were childhood friends), Maru is from Kyoto while Yassu is from Kobe.

Yup, I must say that they resemble SMAP in a lot of sense. Can't say the same about the musical talent though...I'm a huge SMAP fan but even I have to admit that K8 are more musically talented than their senpais haha!

Hey, if you do register at the forum, drop me a message will you? I'm whitedove over there :)

WD, it's really amazing how all of them never tire of each other ne? They're around each other most of the time yet they still want to hang out on their free time. I, myself, get tired of my friends and I don't even see them everyday haha. By the way, how long have you been a K8 fan? You seem to be overflowing with information lol. Sugoi na!

Sorry for bothering you about this again, but can you please post pics of Uchi if you have the chance to? :bow:

Avz, abi nako tapulan pud ka? Daghan man lagi pud kay nahibaw-an haha!

Haha me too! It's amazing how much they love each other that way haha! :)

I've been a K8 fan for a year and a half now. I've always been a Subaru fan though, ever since he was the top Kansai junior. Back then, the only juniors I cared about were Subaru and Toma Ikuta. I was one of those angry fangirls when 4TOPS were disbanded, hated NEWS for quite a while haha!

Ah sure, Uchi's pics ne...I looked through some pics last night but totally forgot to pick them. Will do so next! :)

OK, now it's Uchi's turn! :)

HIROKI UCHI - 20, former vocalist of V.WEST before K8, the baby brother of the group...
