elennielThe (delayed) episode of Music Station from the beginning of March is playing on Animax right now... And I admit, I'm not really paying attention anymore because Kanjani8's done and over with. :P They were the first in the talk segment and second to perform (FUNKY MONKEY BABYS performed first - I must remember to go find their new song; I keep forgetting).
It's certainly different watching stuff on a screen that's much larger than your computer monitor, but what made me burst out laughing was the subtitles. Whenever Kanjani8 was mentioned, it read:
KAN JOHNNY 8
XDDDD
ahahahahahaha
Talk about literal translations! LOL
At snoew's suggestion, I got my camera ready and snapped a picture of it. But given my connection at the moment, I don't think I can upload it now... And anyway there's no Photoshop on this laptop so I can't resize the pic. bleh. I shall post it... when my connection is properly repaired - which I hope is SOON. X(
Ah. Hirai Ken's on now. I still can't get over how he really looks like such a foreigner or a "half." More so than Takki does. Ooh, this song is lovely. *adds to list of To-Find songs*
