xmonster1603 on livejournal posted this link where there is a translation of POPOLO 01/2010 in which the KAT-TUN boys wrote letters to their future selves.

It’s cute. And I figured I’d break up the massive amounts of NEWS info that has been posted so far. Bias? No way.

The main sources of amusement for were Kame still believing he will be single and without kids, and Junno wanting to put champagne and dried plums in the time capsule, because they taste better with age. Hahaha.

Are you being gentle to your wife? Are you having an affair? From time to time, right? (laugh) Oh Ueda…

Yatterman a.k.a. The Movie About Underwear
11.19.09 | Posted by crimsonblades | Permalink | Comment?

…okay, so personally, I think the Yatterman symbol looks like underwear…that was actually the first thing I thought of when I saw the it.

So onto a review. I watched it on the train ride home from visiting a friend, and all-in-all I thought it was a pretty cool movie. It struck me as really childish, and something that would be catered towards a younger audience, but it wasn’t unbearable to watch. I think it appeared childish to me because of the uncomplicated plot, and the misspelling of words like Narway, and Ogypt…cute, but very childish. Though there were also some parts which were pretty perverted (Yatter-wan getting a nosebleed from Doronbo’s mecha), so I’m not quite sure what to classify it as.

To be honest, I was only watching it for Sho at the beginning, but it was actually an all right movie. Sho wasn’t as cool as I had hoped he would be in his role (not like I really knew what to expect), but he was still cute regardless. And the scenes with Gan and #2 were really cute.

As I had no idea about anything related to Yatterman, and having only played the Japanese Nintendo DS games very briefly without understanding the text parts, I feel that the movie was pretty explanatory to viewers who had no knowledge of it at all. Though it also wasn’t too verbose so that people who did already know about it would get bored watching the explanations take place. I thought that was a pretty good call from the director, and the way it was done was good. Though it was a random break in the movie, and it clearly reminded the viewer that it was a movie they were watching, I think it added to the experience of it.

The ending was really touching as well. I will definitely keep the movie, but I don’t think I would watch it again. And if I do, it would have to be much later, after I’ve forgotten most of the details and plot.

Has anyone else seen it? Thoughts?

Hay new songs?
11.18.09 | Posted by crimsonblades | Permalink | Comment?

So I found one of Yamapi’s new songs called ‘Me’, and it’s all in English (apparently). Interesting, right? But then you hear his vocals. VERY weak. I mean, I LOVED ‘Loveless’, but this is just bad. He sounds like he is out of breath and unable to hit the notes throughout the whole thing. Not impressed, and not gonna lie, didn’t really listen to the lyrics, even though I played it three times in an attempt to…check it here

There is another one called ‘Moonlight’, but I can’t listen to this one as my internet is being strange, but it’s here.

Kanjani8’s Hina has been photographed!

First post here!

Hey everyone, you can call me Bel, it’s shorter than crimsonblades. I’m also one of the contributors here, but as you can see, I haven’t done much till now. ~~Sorry Misa and Murr!~~

From skycouldfall at livejournal.

Hina and Toda Erika were spotted holding hands and almost kissing.

In a way I am happy for him that he seems so happy with her, but I still can’t like her at all. Her character aggravated me in Liar Game, and so did her small role in Hana Yori Dango 2. But hey, who am I to judge? She’s apparently doing something right to still be with Hina.
