I still want to know what was on Fukka's shirt that it needed censoring.

And will be in Kabuki with the rest of MSM6.  *･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

THEY will be there too.  Akito, Hama-chan, Shige and Kami-chan were mentioned for Kanju, so I guess that this means that doing those Kanju cons in April will be difficult.  But that's okay because ABE!!!

jdkajfdka;jdka;af ABECCHI's BACK!  *not crying*

I went to Tackey & Tsubasa's first Kobe show last night.  It was my first time seeing them together and I gotta admit that I'm glad I'll be seeing it twice.  I've seen some of their solo activities, and they're cool and all, but there's something about them being together that's impressive.  I also realized that while I enjoy Takki's solo activities more, when they're together, I'd much rather watch Tsubasa. 

Right.  So anyway.  I'm going to go see them in Yokohama this Saturday, but I applied for Kobe anyway because I was really hoping to see Matori.  haha...  And while my Yokohama tickets SUCK, I had arena seats, 8th row from the front stage and 2 rows away from center stage.  I always forget that when you go to TakiTsuba things, the average age rises to mid-thirties.  There were some middle aged women in front and behind me.  The girl to my right didn't really seem all that thrilled to be there, but the two on my right were really nice.  Before the concert started, I had my uchiwa, binoculars and penlight on my lap and I could hear them talking about the penlight, so I told them that it's just the general one from the shop.  They asked if it's a new penlight and then laughed when I told them that I bought it 2 years ago, 'cause one of them still had the star-shaped one.  The one next to me pointed at my uchiwa and asked who they were for.  I was surprised that when I said, "Matori," she didn't need a further explanation.  Yay.  I told her that I don't know if he'd be there, but she said that it's amazing that I came anyway and got such great tickets.

Anyway.  I have to go but I'll be back with notes later.  For now... have some Juniors.


Kansai Juniors that were there
 - Jr.BOYS (including: Matori, Ota, Mukai, Yoshida, Fuuga)
 - Gang Star (saw all of them)
 - Masaya

Who wasn't there and confused the crap out of me?
 - MSM's NabeSho and Miyadate


During the Junior corner, MSM performed Genkai Meter and FiVE performed Bang Bang Bang.  Also, special guest was Yokoyama Yu, but they mentioned that Muro was there and they said one more person but I couldn't hear.  I assume it was Kikuoka since Yoko was hanging out with him yesterday (according to his jweb anyway.)

I haven't really been posting as much as I should and have, yet again, let things build up on me.


[concert notes] Tackey Summer Concert 2010 (100731, 大阪城ホール)
Ok.  Here are my notes on Saturday's Takki concert.  Won't call it a report since I won't be able to comment on all of the songs... It's a little difficult for me, seeing as how I don't know the titles to most of Takki's songs.  Warning now... I do sometimes write some of my notes in Japanese.  I try to write the translations next to them, but sometimes I forget.  Also, I think this turned out to be about Kanju at Takki's concert.  Sorry Snowman fans... I mention them (like Sanada's FAIL at getting audience participation), but it's mostly about Kanju.


Like I said before, I wasn't planning on going to see Takki here in Osaka.  I'm going to see the concert in Yokohama and honestly saw no point in going until I had Rachel next to me to tell me who's who in MSM.  She's been trying to get me to at least be able to tell the Snowmen apart for about 8 months now.  But then at the Kanju concerts, Akito mentioned that the "Chibiko Kanju" would be backing at Takki's concerts this weekend and that sorta made me think that maybe going would be worth it.  Still wasn't going to go though cause it was too late to get a ticket off of ticket.co.jp... but then Rachel said someone online had extra tickets.  Anyway.  Ended up going to the concert with jin_rabu  and had an awesome time.

Our seats were 16th row on the left side of the stage.  After being in Osaka-Jo Hall for Kanju's cons it was a little surprising to see a proper stage.  Have I ever mentioned how low budget Kanju are?  'Cause they really, REALLY are.  All those special effects they got to use at their concerts, I understand now were because Takki was gonna be using them.

I'm really not sure where to start, so for now, I'm just gonna type, probably out of order... and also c/p from my online conversations with snowqueenofhoth  and murasaki_anna  'cause I'm lazy.  It did turn out to be a lot longer than I thought it would.


( It got long... )


30 Days J-pop Meme
I've been really bad about keeping up with this.  I'm just going to follow Raras's example and just keep going in order and not make a catch-up post.  Wow.  Did I really only get up to Day 4 before stopping?  Fail.

Day 5: Your favorite j-drama actress
My favorite without a doubt is Horikita Maki.  Adored her and her short boy hair in Hanazakari no Kimitachi e and totally loved her kick-ass attitude in Tokujo Kabachi.  2nd place is Kitagawa Keiko.



Other than that, CONGRATULATIONS TO KIRA on getting her internship in Japan for this fall!  *throws confetti*  I'm really happy that you'll be coming back soon!  ^-^
