To all HMV patrons: May I know how does HMV price their items?
I feel so cheated manz. Bought the NewS singles at $20.95 each. Today I go there and I see some are priced at $16.95. I paid $8 more. Not only that. In the display, there was a stack still priced at $20.95. WTH. I did think that maybe it’s coz of the rise and fall of the exchange rates. But there have been incidences where I see a limited version with dvd priced at about $50 and then the normal version without dvd priced at about $70. Even if you keep the exchange rate in mind, this is definitely crazy. I really wonder how the HMV people price their items. Makes me think they are out to cheat us.

This is too interesting. From Pwen’s blog.
The first time I tried it with this photo and I’m said to look like this list of people.

  • Chava Alberstein 74%
  • Laura Dern 70%
  • Maggie Cheung 66%
  • Jet Li 64%
  • Kate Hudson 62%
  • Ashley Olsen 60%
  • Samuel L. Jackson 59%
  • Nicole Kidman 59%
  • Julia Roberts 55%
  • Lee Young-ae 54%

Then I tried again with this photo and I got these results.

  • Woranuch Wongsawan 62%
  • Diane Keaton 62%
  • Song Hye-kyo 61%
  • Bae Yong-jun 60%
  • Emily Browning 59%
  • Annika Sorenstam 56%
  • Martina Hingis 52%
  • Sammi Cheng 50%
  • Janie Tienphosuwan 49%
  • Ritchie Valens 48%

OMG…some of the results are so hilarious. Anyway, try it out here.

Testing the icons…
🙂 :laugh: 🙁 :woot: :tongue: :happy: :rofl: :glare: 😥 :music: :sleep: :whistle: :love: :heart: :angry:

PS: 仁, please don’t try to act smart. You’re only making a fool out of yourself. “Car shrimp” was bad enough. “Piece” and “Peace” may sound the same but their meanings are totally different. So don’t try to act smart with your “peace of cake”.

it’s SHOWTIME!

by

“Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we are the K.A.T.T.U.N. It’s SHOWTIME!”

KAT-TUN has finally officially debuted! おめでとう!!! You guys have waited so long for this day to come. Although I’m not like a big fan but I’m happy for you guys. No more classified under Johnny’s Jr.

I wanted to post this earlier but a lot of things came up. Then Sis started asking me to post something. I am, I am… =P

Sis is like playing every KAT-TUN song there is now. She’s so happy that her 亀くん　and her 仁仁 have debuted. She blasted the “Real Face” PV just now when it hit 11pm (12am Japan time). And then everyone started “spamming” the KAT-TUN thread in the forum.

Per told me this and then I went to the Kanjani8 LiveJournal to read. This American girl went on Recomen! (a radio programme hosted by Kanjani8’s Yoko and Hina) UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! She teaches English in Japan. This is like a chance of a lifetime. I’m so happy for her!!! *dances around* I couldn’t stop saying OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG to Per on MSN after reading her post.

This blog is like becoming a blog about JE boys. Heehee~~~

Oh oh…it’s also sensei’s birthday ne. お誕生日おめでとう!!! *throws confetti*

And then I’m like trying to send Nad some stuff as well.

See what I mean that so many things are happening today? So excited until I have no time to watch the dramas I just downloaded. =P

That’s what “Sayaendou” means.

Heehee~~~ I got both the singles!!! *twirls around*

And what did I see? A huge ass price sticker pasted over Massu’s face (and Tego’s…and Shige’s). How could they?!


This is the inner fold of the leaflet for the limited edition. Massu, forever so genki. Look at his pearly whites…he ought to be given a toothpaste endorsement.


This is the back of the leaflet for the normal edition. There seems to be an empty space beside P. Left for Kusano or Uchi? Hmmm…


This pic is found on the lyrics part of the leaflet for the limited edition. Massu doing a split. Cool~~~

Sayaendou is used as the theme song for the One Piece movie. Sounds a little bollywood-ish. Oh and it was hard to tell which part was Shige’s, he sounded so different. Like a little more fierce? Thanks to cheery who put up the romanji lyrics on the forum.

Hadashi no Cinderella Boy – omg…this song sounds so techno-ish. I keep imagining some ah beng dancing to it. Especially the front part where it goes “woohohoh”. Kinda reminds me of Akaku Moyuru Taiyou, their previous (also techno-ish) song. Omg…what if this song gets popular and they decide to play it in the clubs where those ah bengs or wannabe ah bengs frequent? *rofl*

IT’S HERE!!!

It’s the 15th!!! *lets out an ear-piercing fangirl scream*

*in one breath* NewS’snewsingle,SayaendouandKanjani8’snewalbum,F.T.Oareout!!!

*dances around and gets hyper*

But freakin’ hell, the Sayaendou PV doesn’t have them in it. It’s just scenes from the One Piece movie. =(

And I haven’t ordered anything. CRAPZ. Worse, I’m freakin’ poor.

bare butts

by

I was tagged by Per to do this whole JE bare butt meme.

  1. Who was your first JE butt?

    2. I can’t remember if I’ve seen any pictures but I do remember seeing P’s butt.

  2. What situation was it?

    3. It was a short clip from a drama.

  3. Any other JE butts you’ve seen?

    4. Like I said, I don’t remember. Maybe I did but I was too traumatised to remember. HAHAHA…

  4. Any JE butts you WANNA see?

    5. Omg…why the hell would I want to see anyone’s butt?

  5. JE butts that you would rather dig out your eyes than see.

    6. Johnny’s…HAHAHA…

Ermz…I don’t know who would want to continue doing this meme but anyway, just do it if you want to or know what the hell we’re talking about.

Per got her new i-mode phone. Apart for a certain function, we feel it pales in comparison to Japan’s i-mode service. And the main thing is that, the menu is different so it’s not possible to subscribe to JWeb. Let’s hope that the service improves and that more service providers provide this feature. Currently only Starhub offers it.

I haven’t actually seen the phone but I think this is something I’ll like and want to get. Except that it’s too expensive right now (in my parent’s terms). Behold the Samsung Z140…

sonim

by

Too hooked on Maple. So much so that I created a new character on Bootes server. I tried every Berryz Koubou girl’s name and only Maasa’s was available. Nahz. Didn’t like that name. Every other MM girl’s name was too common so it was unavailable. Finally I tried “Sonim” and it worked. She (the character) looks very much like Miuna except she’s got brown hair and she uses an axe unlike Miuna who initially used a sword. Anyway, I’m training her as a warrior as well. Except I won’t make the same mistake of letting her level up past level 10 on the newbie island.

The hairstyles available are pathetic. Only 3 hairstyles to choose from. Trust me, this is the best.

Playing as a beginner is a little frustrating though. Coz you can’t tackle more “dangerous” monsters with one swipe. Oh…that also brings me to the point that I like playing the game at odd hours so there are less people online. Can’t stand it when some high-level person comes along and takes a swipe at the monster I’m trying to tackle and successfully kills it. Hello, don’t think coz you’re a pro means you can be smug about it. Can you leave something for us low-level people to kill? Go attack the bigger monsters lahz.

Then, the real Sonim…

Maple aside. Valentine’s day was well…just like any other day. No gifts whatsoever. Still had to work. It is really like how Emily Strange puts it, “Love Me Not Day”. Haha…

Today, work made me rather pissed off towards the end of my shift. My work hours were extended till 7pm. *sigh* Always lack of staff. Gawd, some people can really test my patience. Oh and those new crew…manz, they really need a good talking to. 3 of them, all friends. One disappear, all disappear. Their last minute excuses are pathetic. I suspect they are lying when they say they have some school thing to see to that’s why they can’t work. If you wanna lie, make sure it’s fool-proof. They really should try harder. And they don’t have the courtesy to inform the manager even if it’s last minute. The manager has to “chase” after them when they don’t appear for work.

Look, take pride in your work ok. If you don’t want to work, nobody’s forcing you. You can quit if you want. Please don’t do this kinda thing, turn up one day, next few days go MIA. People have to cover up your sorry asses and it ain’t pretty.

お誕生日おめでとう草野! Though I wish it didn’t happen, the hands of time can’t be wound back. We await for your and Uchi’s return. We look forward to a better NewS when you guys resume your activities as a group. I guess for now you can concentrate on your studies since you have just been accepted into university.

endless shock

by

Just as I accepted the fact that Kusano will be away for some time, more bad news follow. After spring con, NewS will stop all their activities as a group for the rest of the year. Although the members will still continue their solo projects like dramas etc, does that mean I will see less of Massu coz he’s not like P who acts in quite a few dramas and has Shuuji to Akira or like Ryo who has Kanjani8? And what about in mags?

Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock. Shock.

one more down

It’s official. Just as I went to sleep last night feeling all happy coz NewS is having spring con, I woke up this afternoon to some horrible news. Kusano’s incident has been blown up and he is now “suspended” as well.

The pictures and article originated from a tabloid magazine (what I call “trashy mag”). In it, Kusano can be seen holding a what-looks-like-a-beer can in a 乾杯 position. I sort of waved it off thinking that whatever’s not officially reported cannot be believed. Then Per messaged me today saying that Kusano has been suspended. I quickly checked Yahoo! Japan news and the forum.

It is said that he has voluntarily gone into self-reflection period. What “voluntarily”?! I think JE must have pushed him into a corner until he had no choice but to say so. The same way I think how Mari decided to leave Morning Musume.

But much as I want to say that Kusano is a poor-thing, I’m also a little angry with him. He should have known better after Uchi’s incident. And LOOK! Uchi still hasn’t rejoined NewS. He should have been more careful especially since it considers underage drinking. And after Uchi’s incident, he should have known that they are all closely watched.

I also believe that he might have been celebrating his acceptance into Hosei University. So freakin’ suay…

Hope his school life will not be affected since he just got accepted into university. That the incident will soon pass and he will come back to NewS again. Hopefully Uchi’s suspension will be lifted soon too.

Anyway, that means his photos and goods will be taken down in the Johnny’s shop. Great.
