Hina & Subaru were on Tokyo FM Magical Dash radio show last week, and I think I'll translate this for a friend but first, some bits I found important because some newbies don't know this.

They were asked who is the LEADER of Kanjani8...And again they reconfirmed that in K8, there's no official leader. Subaru said that he couldn't do it on his own (being the leader that is), Hina said he couldn't do it without the other 2 ossans, and they both agreed that they need the other younger members to interact with their kouhais (the Kansai Juniors)...In Subaru's own words, "they have balance in the group" so they don't think they'll ever need a leader.

It's funny how even after two years and more, they still got asked this kind of question. Unlike SMAP or TOKIO or Arashi or NEWS, the official leader is designated as soon as they debuted, but it's not the same with eito...I think eito will forever THE JOHNNY'S BAND WITHOUT A LEADER, and I think they will continue to be asked this question forever! :hehe:

just like kat-tun. hehe.
ah yes. a lot of people assume it's subaru, esp when they first see eito. it just shows how good friends they really are, not needing any leader to direct them. i think it also shows independence and co-dependence at the same time. i'm proud that they are able to be this awesome group even without an official leader.

Apparently, Shounen Club Premium last week DID show some un-aired clips with Subaru & Yoko...go here to download: http://community.livejournal.com/kanjani8/526964.html#cutid1

Subaru talked about how close K8 are even in private, about how they'll eat together or go for trips together even on holidays/outside work...Eito are really rabu! :muack:

Just found out that "Ai ni Mukatte" is now the ending theme for popular NHK kids anime, Nintama Rantarou aka Ninja Boy replacing Oh!ENKA...

I know that it's the ending theme for a NHK program but I don't know it's THAT popular anime! :woot:

Awwww so sweet! I really like how K8 are so tight. That's one point that makes them stand out for the rest of the other groups too. Teehee!

I seriously can't wait for Zukkoke Otokomichi's PV and single to be out!

Mucha-buri started last night! It seems that they really go all over the places for the filming and paired accordingly...Hina is with Subaru while Maru is stuck with Yassu for like a week (which means that Subaru won't be getting his Yassu to go shopping with him any time soon). No idea whether Yu, Ryo & Ohkura are paired as threesome or not... :mrgreen:

so true. i was already cracking up when i saw yoko, and that was just at the very beginning of the pv. :D

yay!! ms tonight!! can't wait!! as i said before, my impression of their songs greatly improve after i see them perform it live. i'm sure this wil be true for zukkoke as well.
