I watched Shounen wa Tori Natta less than a month after I watched 1 Litre of Tears, but I didn't find any problem w/ it......probably b/c I never expected it to be as good as 1 Litre and so never tried to compare these two from the beginning, b/c I understand that these two are made like 5, 6 yrs apart, you can't really compare an old movie w/ a new dorama......script are diff, filming method are diff, actors' outfits and clothings are so diff, 1 was less than 2hrs long and 1 was 10episodes long, just can't compare........and I never expected Yamapi to act well here...HEY! HE WAS JUST A 15-YR-OLD BOY BACK THEN, WHAT HIGH LEVEL ACTING SKILLS DO YOU WANT TO EXPECT FROM HIM ANYWAY?? And as a 15-yr-old, I think his acting at least passed the passing line.....And I think the scene where the whole family crying over KenKen's dead body is very touching. Not as touching as 1Litre, but still........

oh my god you sound like you hate me so much.. did i ever do anything to you? i was just posting some things that might sound... rude... but i said sorry...

Yes of course you can compare this movie with 1 litre of tears since they have similar plots... the difference was only the heart and the spine...
To tell you the truth i didn't know that it was made in the past six years ^^... i only noticed Pi's eyes were smaller...

Still think it's dull after watching 1 litre...

About the 15 year old thing... don't really think that matters... Do you know Dakota Fanning?

Montz, let me tell you a little bit about us females, 'k....


1. if we like a guy, it's like, WE REAAALLLLY LIKE A GUY, 'k... that's the main thing.

2. many girls, 'specially those in love, can be rather emotionally ...er....'strong willed'. they can bite people's heads off, if you dare so much as make a sideways glance or say something negative about their boyz/men.

having said that, however, i think that those girls on this particular forum are pretty well-balanced, only that its the fault of those NEWS boys : causing our hormones to all go unbalanced with their hotness and just plain attractiveness.

so, in the end, it's the men's fault once more.


ps but don't worry too much, the girls will be alright in the end. who can stay mad at MONTA, hmmm?

haiyah! MONTY, eh sorry ....MONTA.


don't you know that all of women's problems are caused by males anyways?

and if NEWS members weren't such hotties, you wouldn't see young, desirable females jumping to their defense, would you? there : point made!

I don't think it's about being all emotional and defensive when it comes to ciriticism of NEWS or of certain members. Differing opinions have been raised loads of times. The problem here is criticism without fair judgement. When that has happened too often, a person can just snap. And, don't forget, deliberate criticism, tsk tsk, so not cool.

Without being too emotional (oh, puh-leez), in all fairness to your comparison with Dakota Fanning, don't forget that JE boys aren't born actors. These weren't people who were chosen for their acting abilities. They learn how to act.
Oh yeah, don't be expecting a stellar performance from Tegoshi in 15 Sai no Blues either.

And now...
I loved Kusano's She's All Mine perf when his hood fell neatly on his head. That was so cool. Probably the best part of the perf

In regards to what jess said... hmm, I don't know. I mean, it'll be good, in fact great, if it really is true, but, well, it's hard to believe things when there aren't any official announcements. How many hints have K8 given for the past two months, and still no sign of Uchi? Even this next single has no pink edition. It's just so frustrating. It's like I want to believe, but at the same time, I don't want to. I HOPE (multiplied by a million) that it's true, but I'm still preparing myself for disappointment. It doesn't make sense because it's contradictory, but that's just the way it is *sigh*
Anyway, here's to hoping that we see them in the new year

First of all the Kusano thing... He rocks... well, it's kinda like seeing a japanese ver. of Lee Hom or Vaness, good english wild dancing...

The reason why i brought up Dakota Fanning was, since someone asked in bold text, "WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM A 15 YEAR OLD BOY?"
It's like, daaahhhh.... of course i expect a 15-year old boy's acting skills...
And i wanted to say, "so what if he's 15?" since she's making a defence (in bold text...) by using his age as an alibi, that is why i brought up Dakota Fanning... Has nothin to do with talent (which i think Pi does have some talent), if he didn't do well at that time, then he didn't do well, since he accepted the job anyway...

"That dorama was made 5,6 years ago. It has script are diff etc etc."

'script are diff' : if it wasn't dfferent, then it would be called a plagiat...
each dorama has a different script... Geezz...
Why bring up the fact that it was made 5,6 years ago? The only difference will be in the pict quality etc., nothing to do with script!
It's not like people live in caves 5 years ago. And they're not retarded either... I won't bother llisting doramas with good script before the year 2000...

I've seen 15 sai no blues, and yes i didn't expect a star-quality act, but it turned out OK, not good neither was it bad... Not gonna make comments or i'll probably get slapped again. I just don't like the ZEEBRA guy, personal dislike, not gonna say much on him. Actually, i'm looking forward to what Tego will have next... I mean, don't often see stressed plant-lover 15 year-olds...

comparison, is one of human's nature, if you don't like me comparing so much, then i will ask for your sincere forgiveness, still don't find it wrong comparing it with 1 litre of tears, Shounen wTN is just lack of 'wrapping',
and again, my personal pov, chill dude....

Looking forward to this New Year, what will JE have... ???? 2 things i'm looking forward to, the NEWS countdown and the Ayumi Hamasaki count down, enjooooyablee....

Come on, now who is being sensitive here? Saying things in bold doesn't mean I am wild mad at someone......just wanna make the words stand out so no one will miss what i really wanna say........I don't want to start a war here, so I'll make it short, just make 1 thing clear: I don't hate anyone here b/c I don't even know or see any of you, it's stupid to hate some strangers, I just disagree some of the words some ppl say and express my diff opinion. That's it. Please don't enlarge this "argument" any further......it sounds as if you are the one who hates me........

Yamapi's new pic in Dec06 Duet:

Yamapi's pic in Nove magazine:

Hm........Yamapi's look kinda change again within a month......^^;; He changes images too often I think.......Sometimes I find it little bit hard to recognize him....^^;; But no matter how his new look looks like, he's still always pretty~~

I have nothing against comparisons or saying that one is not fond of something as much as others are. I've said quite a lot of times that I don't like AP, GI and Dandori. If everyone liked exactly the same things and agreed with everything, we wouldn't have much of a discussion. Maybe we haven't been making fair judgements lately... maybe people are taking things too seriously... maybe it's the way in which things are being said now, I don't know. We used to have discussions without anyone thinking that he/she was being personally attacked.
It gets frustrating when someone says something, another person disagrees and the first person instantly goes on the defensive. Everyone is free to voice their opinions... politely. It's hard to voice out opinions when everyone is thinking that things are getting personal. I want peace!!!

Age doesn't matter when you are a natural actor. But when you are not, then it does. Because along with age comes experience. Sure, there some Johnny's out there who are naturals when it comes to acting, but it's not the case for most, and certainly not for Yamapi. Not to say that he can't act to save his life, just that it took time and experience for him to be good.

Tegoshi was okay in 15 Sai no Blues. It's weird how how he can play an emo character quite well and yet not perform as well if he carries a bubbly character. Of course, he's only played one character like Sakura-nantoka, so it's hard to compare. Hopefully we'll see him in a lot more happy roles.

Kusano rocks? Would you go as far as saying that he is hot?

ladies and gentleman,

1. i agree with hantuwriter's 1st para : critism without judgement can be very wrong. hence my earlier call for a unification of all fans

2. why don't we review the ground rules of forum-ing : one of which, i presume, is sharing of opinion but not crossing out each other's pov.

tell you what, let's chill for a bit, everyone, and let's just go back to some friendly talk about information sharing etc. nobody makes any comparisonn about any member of NEWS, nobody compares anyone with anything, ok? besides one of the main reasons i come to this site is of course to know more about NEWS, so let's all make it a fun place to visit, ok?

hantuwriter, you are very good with your facts, and i salute you. monta, you have your own pov, which are also pretty good. and of course, jess and yamapifans, your points are pretty valid too.

ok, that's just my 2 cents' worth. catch up with you later. (OMG, i'm sounding like a grandma).

Ya, must be concerned. told you what, i am older than most people on this thread. but that don't mean i cannot like the news people.

talent is talent. their songs are catchy.

by the way, i was thinking that maybe people are going into extreme details in arguing about NEWS is because we are running out of new news about NEWS : just my pov actually, so it may be wrong

Eh, hantuwriter, what you think......NEWS may be even different when they come back. I mean after almost a year (about), who knows what they will be like. PI has also changed .....

ok, ah......i sign off first. got to earn my living lah.

the yume song as in yume no kazu dake ai ga umareru? you want the acapella or normal version? i can upload for you

to dwld stuff from youtube you will need a flv software thing, and from what i know you have to buy it. Well there is a trial version, but if i'm not wrong, it's only for 90 seconds or sth like that, i never did try it out -.- Plus if you get it from youtube, the resolution wouldn't be very good -.- why, any particular clip you want?

@yamapifans

hey! that picture of yamapi in the nov issue is really good i prefer it to the dec issue one.. where he looks kind of weird :S And yup! If i'm not wrong, he's the one in NEWS that changes hairstyle the most eh??

Lol this reminds me of an interview where ryo complains that massu never ever changes his hairstyle

And when is the shounen club episode where tegoshi is the guest coming out?? Can't wait to see it Actually i can't wait to see anything new of NEWS. And heard that massu and tego will be appearing as guests in the shounen club episode shown in december!

new news about news! that sounds so pun-ny ^^
arghh NEWS come back fast, or else we will keep digging up your past. (wooh it rhymes)

yeahh.. work first.. fangirl later Whooo it's my school holidays now. means more fangirl time!

Actually Koyama's hairstyle doesn't change a lot either........but I am perfectly fine w/ that. I think it's better to keep 1 nice-looking hairstyle than changing new but not-fit-you hairstyle.......like I don't like some of Yamapi's hairstyle......especially GYM outfit.......
