{YYYYMCAAAAAAAA}



Cartoon KAT-TUN episode 120 where Jin, Junno, Nakamaru and special guest Yanagihara Kanako (who is hilarious)

This is one of my favourite Cartoon KAT-TUN episodes - I love the mushroom and the puppet show. I just generally love Cartoon KAT-TUN, I guess... Anyway, here's little Junno and Jin doing the YMCA, because that part was hilarious (Note how Jin seems to disappear).

Also, I'm gonna post up that Yukan Club review, even though it was booted off my list, because I've already written it. I think Anego may have to be placed higher, though, and another drama may replace it... :S

{only human}

[EDIT] My Top Ten Japanese Drama List has been changed.

#10 Yukan Club [Leisure Club] Anego
#9 My Boss, My Hero
#8 Nobuta wo Produce [Producing Nobuta]
#7 Kurisumasu Nante Daikirai [I Really Hate Christmas]
#6 Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge [Perfect Girl Evolution]
#5 Gokusen 2
#4 Tatta Hitotsu no Koi [My First Love]
#3 Code Blue (Doctor Heli Kinkyuu Kyuumei) [Code Blue (Doctor Heli - Emergency Lifesaving)]
#2 Ichi Rittoru no Namida [One Litre of Tears]
#1 Last Friends

So, instead of Yukan Club, which I wasn't that keen on, Anego takes it's place. I'm in the middle of watching it, now, and I'm loving it.

Also, honourable mentions go to Kurosagi (starring Horikita Maki and Yamashita Tomohisa), and the drama version of Koizora (starring Seto Koji).

So, to end this, I give you a 'Johnny's Sports Day' Jin and Kame:

{half down}



(No, it's not exactly the same picture but I couldn't find the one I copied off)

Nishikido Ryo, of NEWS and Kanjani8. To tell the truth, I don't really like Kanjani8's songs, besides Naniwa Iroha Bushi (I do love their Eito outfits though. They crack me up everytime). He sings, dances, and plays guitar, too, which is an added bonus.


I love Ryo's eyes. They are the most fun to draw. They're so deep, and sorrowful, even when he's smiling. I first saw Ryo in the drama 1 Litre of Tears in all it's glory, and I've been a fan ever since. I remember watching the drama, and saying to myself, 'right, there better be a good looking guy in this. Turn around, turn around....yes!' Then I searched his name in good ol' Google Images, and up he popped, singing away with his guitar; posing awkwardly for some photoshoot; half-naked; wearing ridiculous outfits that reminded me of The Power Rangers and being tackled by six other men wearing similar clothes.



His portrayal of Sousuke in Last Friends is absolutely incredible, and I genuinely think that he's become my favourite actor. I cannot wait to see his new movie, and I look forward to seeing more of his amazing works in the future. I love how completely dedicated this man is to his work, and his fans - he has two bands, one in Osaka and one in Tokyo, and travels back and forth between the two for work. On top of that he has filming, and the poor guy should be exhausted, but he doesn't show it. Everything he does, he tries his hardest, and I think a lot of us could learn from him.

'No matter how much we try to regret, we cannot rewind yesterday,
And in that same way the world is waiting for tomorrow.'

{at the end of a dream}



Based off: (credit: asianfanatics.com)



Ueda again. So, I'm awaiting KAT-TUN's new single very impatiently. Actually, I don't really like the new song, 'Going!', but rather love the B-sides, 'FALL DOWN' and 'SMILE' (well... I like the previews that Kase by Kase and R-ONE KAT-TUN have given us). Also, we've bought our KAT-TUN tickets, so woot!

I don't have all that much to say today~

"Just accept this crime, this punishment
And - I want your love, I want your hate
Embrace this love, this ego
And everything - I want your love, I want your hate
Because we can't turn back now, Rhodesia."

{believe}

As I have mentioned before, my friend over at http://thebennetsisters.wordpress.com is awesome. She's posted up a bunch of reviews (all Jane Austen related), which has inspired me to write my own, for no real reason!

So! Here are my Top Ten Japanese Dramas. For now, it's just a list, but I shall update with actual reviews at a later stage.

#10 Yukan Club [Leisure Club]
#9 My Boss, My Hero
#8 Nobuta wo Produce [Producing Nobuta]
#7 Kurisumasu Nante Daikirai [I Really Hate Christmas]
#6 Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge [Perfect Girl Evolution]
#5 Gokusen 2
#4 Tatta Hitotsu no Koi [My First Love]
#3 Code Blue (Doctor Heli Kinkyuu Kyuumei) [Code Blue (Doctor Heli - Emergency Lifesaving)]
#2 Ichi Rittoru no Namida [One Litre of Tears]
#1 Last Friends

This is by no means a list that everyone should abide by. It's simply a list of my favourite Japanese dramas, and it is designed to perhaps help others if they're suddenly stuck on what to watch. I did this for a bit of fun, and that is all.

And just 'cause I can, here's an extra piece of fanart:



It's another tengu, like that other one of Ueda's, but this time it's Jin~ (yes, I drew all of those spirally things on his cloak thing. I did the same with the Ueda one. Took me forever, but I like the way it turned out.)

{one day, one dream}

So, my friend is amazing and has her own blog, http://thebennetsisters.wordpress.com, which focuses on all that is Pride and Prejudice, and Jane Austen. She's set up a blogging challenge, which challenges us all to do something Pride and Prejudice related, but it has to stay on-theme. I took a while to figure out what my theme was - my thought was that it was JE related - but then I suppose that it's more art-focused. I don't know. Anyway, enough of my confusing rambling (I'm kind of distracted due to Tweeting like mad - we're trying to get #iloveJE into the trending topics), and onto the art!

I didn't colour it, but it's not from lack of trying. My Wacom tablet threw a tantrum halfway through colouring, the bastard.



I failed. :'(

"Stand against the reality of sadness
Within your heart, a hero waits to emerge
The memory of the dream that came to me last night
Fills me up with hope that I can go on."

{shalala tambourine}



Based off: (credits: asianfanatics.net)


And it's Kato Shigeaki from NEWS. His adorable fail was too much to resist. Shige's my favourite in NEWS - probably because we're quite similar. He has an invisible cat called Wagahai, because he's allergic to cats, but his best friend has one. He writes some of his Jweb entries in the view of Wagahai. 'Kato Shigeaki did so and so today' etc. Also, he just received his degree in law - congratulations, Shige! These photos are offshoots from the NEWS calendar. He took the photos behind him himself, and painted over the top of them. I don't know why. Just because he could, I suppose. Also, it wasn't a very smart idea to wear white, Shige.

'Shalala lalala, I will sing for you, the one I love
Shalala lalala, I will embrace you, gently, tightly, forever
Shalala lalala, I will sing for you, the one I love
Shalala lalala, I'll sing out until the tambourine breaks
Until the tambourine breaks.'
