CDJapan limited preorder (sold out)
CDJapan regular preorder

YES YES YES YES. After almost a full year of waiting, NEWS is finally releasing a single as a GROUP. Johnny was generous to us when it came to the solo/special activities in 2009, but like a lot of the other fans, I’m so excited to see NEWS back together as a group again!

The limited edition comes with 6 alternate jackets–almost definitely one for each member. Who will be YOUR cover boy? If you know me, you probably know who mine is

Tegomass Live Tour~Tegomass no Uta~
01.18.10 | Posted by misa | Permalink | Comment?

Is amazing (:

I was lucky enough to recieve my copy a few days early– and for those of you who haven’t ordered yours yet, it’s definitely a must buy.

The vocal quality in this concert was absolutely amazing; the boys barely gave in to their tiredness and when they did, they still sounded pretty good. Performances like POWER OF EARTH, Highway, Owarinaide and Kimi+Boku=LOVE were really energectic and fun to sing along with~ But then, since it’s tegomass, there was also the tear jerking performances like Hanamuke and Kataomoi no Chiisana Koi.

Special mention to Ame Nochi Hare; that performance was BEYOND adorable. The swings were a really cute touch, too.

&Massu, I’ve never known someone to fail more awesomely in my life. Never stop being you!

<3

Thanks for an amazing concert!

Best of 2009-Johnny’s Style!

2009 has been an interesting year, to say the least. Lots of unexpected things happened, like NYC Boys, Tegomass’ first concert tour, Jin and Yamapi making solo debuts, Kanjani’s 3 consecutive singles, Arashi breaking a million and officially taking over Japan.

We’ve prepared lots of categories for you to give answers to, and now you don’t have to answer every one of them but it would be nice if you did. Remember, this isn’t a poll, so you can choose as many answers as you like for each question, and we’d love to hear your reasoning for why you chose each thing. Obviously, each category relates to releases in 2009, not any year previous to that.

You can put your answers into the comments section in this post, but it would be awesome if you posted them to your own blog/journal and then left us a link so we know where to find you!

To the discussion!

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?
