Ho! Summer

[talisa_ahn]

Crap on me.  I just realized how crazy I made my summer...  On the bright side, it's got a lot of firsts.  First time going to Tokyo Dome.  First seeing Sakamoto, Kazama, Tsubasa, Takki, and MSM (them backing for Kisumai doesn't count.  I didn't look at them at all.)  It's just all a lot closer together than it was in my brain.

July 21 - Summer Starts

July 22 - Osaka - アリバイのない天使 (Sakamoto & Kazama)
July 24 - Tokyo - KT-TUN Kisumai

I miss going to stuff...but...WOAH
o.o
what a schedule!

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

I do this every single break and never learn. *sigh* I think the Takki/MSM in the middle is what made it crazy, but I'll never see either group otherwise and there's really no point in me seeing them without Rachel (since she's the one trying to get me to figure out who's who in MSM), soo... off to Yokohama I go. Maybe I can get Chinese food again.

[kira-shadow.livejournal.com]

I think you'll have an awesome time
I'm doing nothing this break ~.~

...and I'm slowly getting better at figuring out the names and faces of MSM... I know all their names and all their faces but still have SOME trouble putting those together...

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

I know... It's just different seeing it all listed like that. ^^;

And I'm the same. I can consistently get Nozawa, Sanada, Miyadate, and Sakuma... the others... well. I'm working on it. In interviews I seem to like Iwamoto though.

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

And you're not doing 'nothing'. You're saving money! That's a concept that I've completely failed at since moving to Japan.

[kira-shadow.livejournal.com]

I wish I had a summer job because that way I'd be able to save more money
*sigh*

and uhm yeah I spent a lot more money in japan than I do over here, too =_=

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

This was DEFINITELY a lot cheaper when I wasn't here.

[kira-shadow.livejournal.com]

oh money...why so scarce...

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

Good question.

[sweetmilano90.livejournal.com]

I'll be attending... three, maybe four, of those events. I'm also trying to get a ticket to PZ on the 26th, or 27th, if I can find a cheap one. ^^ Either way this summer will definitely be busy for me too. :P I've got five SUMMARY shows and maybe THE GAME. I really hope I'm able to get tickets to that one. I really wanna see Haruma, Takeru and Kaku Kento. ^^

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

I thought about Summary since it's something I always wanted to see, but without Kisumai there, I decided not to. And then it turned out that ABC-Z, THEYBudou, and MSM won't be there and well, I've already been to a HSJ concert. ^^; Your 5 Summary shows are like how I'm going to see Kanju 6 times this summer (after saying that I wasn't going to have a repeat of last year). It'll be fun, though, even if it's a little crazy.

I haven't seen anything for Haruma or Takeru. Will someday, but JE needs to let me keep my money long enough to do it. Someday.

[sourangel.livejournal.com]

Did you already apply for Tackey on the 14th? I'm planning on going that day too if you want to go together.

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

Rachel's doing the balloting when she gets back, so if you talk to her?

I can't believe I'm going... I know so little to nothing about Takki and MSM.

[sourangel.livejournal.com]

Ah okay, I would rather go on T+T membership cause the seats are way better, so I will just go by myself.

[flailinginlove.livejournal.com]

So you are going to Tackey after all. Maybe we'll see you guys there. :)

My schedule is actually a little crazier than yours but I'm trying not to think about it. O_O And seriously, Johnny/etc, no more concerts or balloting due until late-August please? D:

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

I wasn't going to go... but then Rachel said that she would go and well, if I'm gonna go, it makes sense for me to go with her since she's been trying since last December to teach me who's who in MSM. Names, check. Faces... well. 4 out of 8? I can recognize them all, I just can't figure out which one is Iwamoto, which one is Abe, which one is Fuka and which one is NabeSho.

Yeah... working on it.

You have to travel a ton more than I do too. My summer's only split between Osaka and Tokyo, but at least I live in Osaka!

[flailinginlove.livejournal.com]

I'm not gonna lie, basically the only thing I know about MSM is that I really like No More Wait lol.

This summer I'm going to be smart and buy one of the seishun 18 tix (or two D:). It will take forever to get places but at least it will be cheap. Between July and Aug I have 6 trips planned, which is actually (shockingly) less than last year so I say it still counts towards my resolution to go to fewer concerts this year. D:

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

I don't even know that song. Must have heard it before at either the Kisumai con last December or on Shokura... but definitely don't know that title. *fail*

Wow. I only went to 9 things last summer... Tegomass, K8, PZ twice, and Kanju 5 times. This summer is... gah.

[flailinginlove.livejournal.com]

I think I first heard it at PZ. And they did it at one of the Kisumai cons so you've definitely heard it.

And ever since I've seen this clip I've been confused about how many members they have.

Last summer was Monoral, Playzone, HSJ, w-inds., K8, Tegomasu, ABS & Tsuchiya Anna, A-Nation, Flumpool, and Vamps. D: This summer is more focused on JE. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. x_x

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

I sorta remember this song. PZ? I went to see last year's PZ after HSJ's tour started so I didn't have a ton of juniors at mine. And lol. Is this video from when Onodera was still a Snowman? I didn't know he was until after he got moved to MAD.


Wow. I'm not sure which is better either. haha...

[flailinginlove.livejournal.com]

WAIT, I meant Dream Boys. THERE ARE TOO MANY JE 'PLAYS' THAT MAKE NO SENSE. :X

I think it might be worse because with JE you can go to two shows a day and there are a crapload more good than most the rock cons I go to. >_

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

They really should work on that. Story lines are a GOOD THING. Look at TOUGH WEEDS. *pats Yoko on the head*

Sad, but true. Being a Johnny's fan is expensive!

[flailinginlove.livejournal.com]

I'm not exactly sure I'd know what to do if I ever saw a JE play that actually made sense. I think I'd walk away more confused than ever. o_O

Okay, so MSM, was there at some point, one of them for each letter or something? Not that Johnny would ever just put a group of boys together and then play scrabble with their initials until something vaguely word-ish appeared. ¬_¬

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

Yeah... They're really rare. Usually only happens when it's a play that happens to have 1 or 2 JE boys in it...

As far as I know, this is how it was... but I don't know which S is whose.

Miyadate
Iwamoto
Sanada

Sakuma
Nozawa
Onodera (but he's in MAD now)
Watanabe

M
Abe
N

Fuka never got a letter.

[flailinginlove.livejournal.com]

Shige's first one kinda made sense, though it was just small acts not a full play. And when they do foreign plays there is logic and plot and all that fun stuff. But yeah, their yearly ones... I think they've caught on to the fact that most fangirls don't exactly go for the plot. ;)

Ah, okay. Thanks for the info. Johnny is clearly getting old. They could have been SWIM-FANS and had like Cirque du Soleil 'O' type concerts. Fail, Johnny, fail. :/

[murasaki-anna.livejournal.com]

wow, busy you!! all i can say is i am totally jealous of all that Kanju and Kisumai.

and i'm sure you'll do fine learning MSM. I got them all down in one day when I went to see the Tokyo Jrs last summer with my friend Shiori who is MSM-Obsessed. I was literally forced into liking them, and she kept holding up their pictures and quizzing me on their names.

anyway, with the addition of ueda/five, GOOD LUCK surviving! i hope you don't get exhausted! :)

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I don't watch them on Shokura either which probably doesn't help any. In interviews I tend to like Iwamoto though. I just can't put the name to the face.

I know~~~~~~~~! At least that won't be until October... It's just that I have to ballot before my next payday...T-T

[murasaki-anna.livejournal.com]

if you can remember miyadate, well i think he is good buddies with/or often paired with iwamoto. i could be totally wrong though!!

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

No clue? I really haven't watched anything MSM before. Only time I ever saw them in person (that I'm aware of) was at Kisumai's YokoAri cons last December... and I was NOT looking at them. haha...

I can't even get them in the magazines... motion's going to prove difficult.

[laruku05.livejournal.com]

XD all I can say is WOW...no wonder you're broke >.>

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

...yeah... >.>

[jadeyeap.livejournal.com]

that's one fulfilling summer you have there (x
