          when i got the news that OHSHC will be getting a live-action drama and movie, i was ecstatic! i sooooooo love the manga and anime. and then they announced the cast, oh gawd, what did they do to my host club? ToT
          i've said this before, that i don't watch drama when it's currently airing  cox i don't like to the wait for the next episode. so while waiting for it to end, me is seeing screencaps and gifs from everywhere and i thought why not give it a try? i actually watched Yamamoto Yusuke dramas to get used to him as Tamaki.
          and then judgement time. i started watching it last night and finished it this afternoon. mixed emotions. okay, apart from Daito Shunsuke as Kyoya (oh sheet, what did they do to my precious Kyoya? i can't ever accept him as Kyoya despite his good acting), i think everyone else was acceptable for the character. and they did pretty good, especially Yusuke.
          what i didn't like was the way they included Nekozawa in every episode possible and how they altered the story. the anime/manga was not that complicated to follow, the should've sticked to the original story. they also ruined one of my fave scenes! the thunder scene with Haruhi and Hikaru! it should've been their moment, why bring Tamaki to the scene? he already got a thunder scene for gawd's sake! (>_<)
          atleast they made up with the last episode and didn't follow the anime's last episode (which i think, despite the very dramatic and beautiful HaruhixTamaki scene, was bullsheet, with that French girl, deym). good thing they sticked to the manga's story, maybe because the story for the movie will be Tamaki going/imprisoned in Suou's main residence and him trying to get his grandmother's approval and ofcourse his love story with Haruhi. still, i'm looking forward to it!


My Ratings: i'll give this one 7/10 :)

[Kanjani8] 47 Live Tour 2007

i really thought that this one comes before 8UPPERS! i mean, that this was released sometime in 2010. hahaha XDDD and i even announced in my last kanjani8 con entry that i'll watch their cons in descending order hahaha.

i love this dvd, the concert + the bonus clips, documentary and the surprise wake up call. they are so adorkable!

(Tacchon + drums) + (Maru + bass guitar) + (Yasu + electric guitar) =  
Ryo performed Heavenly Psycho! and their Eito skit was hilarious. hahaha

Maru's too energetic! he always have something to say, he always have a surprise move, and then he was caught sleeping on a chair when they were in Okinawa. hahaha. i really thought that Hina was like all serious and everything but turned out, he was just as playful as everyone. and he's afraid of bugs! haha he can't even touch a hermit crab, so cute! Tacchon's not showing any of his gayness here yet! and he still looks cute even when he just woke up.


this was one of the last scenes from the documentary: Yasu kissing Baru!


as always, i'm too  lazy for screencaps. oh and Maru kissed Ryo too, in the lips! hahaha XDDD

[JE] Johnny's Countdown Concert 2010-2011

i don't know what happened in this countdown con. it's too sad. no ARASHI (they appeared but they only performed a medley), no Jin, no Uchi, no Toma. what happened?

i can't really say much, but now that Yamapi's going solo, Ryo chose Kanjani8, 4-nin NEWS, and Jin still busy; i don't know what to expect on this coming New Year's countdown.

but still crossing my fingers here. 

[JE] Johnny's Countdown Concert 2009-2010

this is the first Johnny's countdown that i've seen (almost 2years ago) and i still love it! and i think the next ones (starting the one earlier this year) won't be this happy again.

ARASHI as host. complete KAT-TUN. 6-nin NEWS. Toma was there. Uchi was there.

my fave part was when ARASHI performed Kanjani8's "Sukiyanen Osaka". they did great! with perfect choreography.

[JE] Johnny's Countdown Concert 2008-2009

i enjoyed this countdown a lot! too much trolling and silliness happening!

those four guys singing Seishun no Amigo behind Yamapi + Kame trying to follow the steps (they don;t know the steps, i don't know who the other one from V6 cox i haven't memorized their name and faces yet, but there were Nino, Nagase and Ryo)

Kanjani8 saying they wanted to be ARASHI. V6 eating noodles at the beginning. Nagase Tomoya hugging MatsuJun. Jin trolling behind his fellow KAT-TUN. Hina, Ohno, Baru and Maru playing in front of the cam.

[JE] Johnny's Starship Countdown Concert 2003-2004

watching this while posting here! because it's long and i don't want to miss any details and put it here.

there were just KinKi Kids, V6, Tackey and Tsubasa, TOKIO and ARASHI at the opening. i don't know the songs they're performing but i'm still enjoying it.

it also comes with a bit documentary/behind the scenes.

arriving at the Dome: and i just saw chibi Jin *kyaaaaaa* he introduced himself haha!   i can't recognize everyone but there were Ryo, Massu, Ueda, Shige, Nakamaru, Koki, Koyama, Uchi, Junno and i guess the other one was Toma? not sure but that guy looks too young to be Toma, maybe it's Tego, and another one i didn't recognize cox he was too fast XD. maybe it was Taka (now the frontman of ONE OK ROCK) or Pi?

and they're showing the chibis practicing. NEWS, KAT-TUN. Massu doing a backflip! and chibi Hikaru yay~! okay it wasn't Pi i saw earlier cox he's late haha. ARASHI arriving, chibi ARASHI, haha. followed by Tackey and Tsubasa, then TOKIO + V6 mixed.

V6+TOKIO+ARASHI fooling around and complaining about food. Pi looking like a doll haha. Tackey blabbing about just turning 20 and whether he's going to get any pocket money. lols.  Pi saying he'll eat udon and live thick and long XDDD. 

8-nin NEWS performing. so it wasn't Taka i saw, it was a chibi Jr, i don't know who. but finally, a song i know! V6 performing "Darling"!

the back up dancers were girls?!
 

so the first arrival scene was for the rehearsals. and there's another one for the event. Jun and Aiba with Tackey getting hyper while Sho sleeps. and everyone's preparing before the show starts. and they still got time to fool around haha. Jin being adorkable again.

and then the medley of their sempai's songs and then medley of their debut songs. and KAT-TUN gets a chance to perform too, they're singing a SMAP song~! and there's a lot of old timers here that i don't know XD there was Sato Atsuhiro, Okamoto Kenichi, Akasaka, Higashiyama.

and i really thought that KinKi Kids were cool here. and then they introduced everyone (according to their debut dates) and that's it. now watching the behind the stage scenes.
