Happy Little Thoughts and Things

elennielJust some things (in fandom) that make me happy at the moment - even though I'm not exactly hyper-happy or anything. Heh. Listing them as they come to mind.
1. "Two Worlds" & "You'll Be in My Heart", Sakamoto Masayuki.
Disney + V6's leader? I love it! Tarzan isn't my favourite Disney movie, but I still like the music lots. :) And Sakamoto's voice! I'm starting to wonder if he isn't actually a better singer than Ohno. (Of course, that could be in part to his age/experience, since V6 started 5 years before Arashi did.) But he's at least on par with Riida.
2. "BRAND NEW DAY, BRAND NEW LIFE", V6
I am so addicted to this song at the moment. It's so relaxing and sort of "calmly happy." I can practically see V6's Voyager con performance of this song in my head whenever I hear it. *twirl, side-step, twirl* *finger dance* *bow* It's nice! Go download it if you don't believe me.snoew agrees with me - don't you, snoew? :P
3. Hana Yori Dango trailer
All I can say is: KYA~~~
Still not too fond of the Doumyouji hair (although when it's properly curled it doesn't look as bad as half-curled and all-over-the-place like in some recent photoshoots -__- ), but Jun looks just... ♥
4. "DREAMIN' BLOOD", Kanjani8
Ah, the nostalgic, slightly 80s feel of this. And the lyrics. The melody. <3
5. Gakkou e Ikou MAX
Sakamoto and Ken evidently enjoying themselves way too much playing pranks on their kouhai, Nino being too wrapped up in his game to notice anything weird, Sho and Aiba gaily following whatever instruction was given to them, Ohno looking so happy at having his hairstyle praised, MatsuJun getting suspicious after the odd interview questions... XDD Oh, and the way Jun stared at the "girls" and then turned to stare at Sakamoto after finding out the "girls" were guys. LOL.
Can I just say this? I like how his reactions remind me of my own. hahahah! I'm not the type to react with a loud "EHH?" to shocks - although I might do it occasionally. Generally I just go for the disbelieving stare. XD
6. One Piece (manga)
This is really just getting better and better and better. The amount of new characters Oda-sensei has just thrown in! *gasp* Excitement! I wonder what the specialties of all these high-level pirates are. And the mystery surrounding that Engineer guy! Man... How does Oda-sensei keep it up??
7. Kanjani8's 47con
It was just huge fun. :D I wish I was much much more fluent in Japanese to understand the whole MC, but I gathered the gist of it I guess... But K8 was fun to watch! The Eito Ranger skit was priceless XD The hilarious opening song where Yoko forgot to introduce himself... Ryo's Heavenly Psycho performance with the audience... And *gasp* Ohkura drum solo! And Mamoritai! (which brings me to my next point)
8. Ohkura Tadayoshi
He is just way cool. His solo song at 47con! ♥ ♥ I heard he wrote the lyrics himself, which makes it doubly cool. I really liked how he ended the song by writing "mamoritai" in the air and how they superimposed the kana onto the screen as though he was leaving light trails with his finger. I'm not particularly crazy over drums or drummers, but I do think he's pretty good at it. :D
9. Okada Junichi
Mentioning drums starts the train of thought that goes: drums > musical instruments > piano > Okada. (Argh not enough shades of yellow/yellow-orange to use.) I can't get over his piano-playing in Hajimari. When I first watched Voyager con and that centre box platform turned round to reveal the grand piano and Okada playing... I just gaped and I think my heart skipped a beat. (lol) Then when he started to sing as well, I "died." It was like... "What? The guy acts, sings, seems to have an artistic bent and now he plays the piano too??" He's definitely my JE #3 now. (Gomen, Aibachan.)
(In case you think I'm forgetting all about Jun, let me just remind minna-san that I've expounded on MatsuJun's coolness before in various posts - to the point where I think I've said all I need to say and I think I really don't need to keep repeating myself to everyone already. :P I don't like repeating myself too much. haha)
EDIT: Right after I posted this and re-read it, it suddenly occurred to me that MatsuJun also dislikes having to repeat himself. font, you were really right when you said we're alike. ><
10. "ROCK THE HOUSE", Coming Century
Another song that I like for some bizarre reason. Probably the Voyager con performance helped. I liked what Kamisen wore for that. The dark sweaters/jackets they wore with the red and white flower print on parts was kinda nice.
Just ten for now. If I think of anything else or if I feel like it, I'll add on some more. ^^

Date: 2008-04-28 02:52 am (UTC)That I would love to know...I love One Piece, but I just don't have the endurance for it... T-T'
Your mention of my beloved Tacchon and his solo song, my favourite of them all [with WONDER BOY a damn close second. In all arenas these two are always fighting for ichiban position....] just had me splurge on watching the video again. The light trails and writing the kana just makes me melt and squee everytime I see it. OMG ILUSM Tacchon! <3

Date: 2008-04-28 02:58 am (UTC)Staaaaart. XD (I'm so on nagoya_mewmew's mission to spread the V6 love. hahaha) I don't think your PC would collapse that fast. There seem to be distinctly less subbed V6 vids than Arashi or K8. hahah
Ohkura is just ♥
The "sexy pig of silence." ROFL

Date: 2008-04-28 03:00 am (UTC)You kinda fall sick a lot, huh? ^^; Don't worry - Aibachan will look after you. Delivery boy~ :P
*pats aiba* lets go play with yoko XD
Hm... Yokoyama-kai. XDDD

Date: 2008-04-28 03:04 am (UTC)One Piece is just amazing... It doesn't have a fluctuating "interesting" factor like Bleach, but just keeps going and going and going UP. @__@
I haven't heard/seen Wonder Boy before! But heard it mentioned a lot. I should go look it up.
For quite a while, I was torn between Yoko, Ohkura and Ryo for favourite K8 guy. But I think Ohkura's winning. ^^
But still, Yoko is really fun and silly XD

Date: 2008-04-28 03:03 pm (UTC)I just love how deep One Piece digs into the story, the characters. It just sucks you into this whole other world. *.*
I love Wonder Boy <3 It's especially better when you read the translations XD It's so difficult to have one favourite in K8. Yoko ad Ohkura just slip past Ryo and Hina as ichiban. Avd Yasu is sinking deeper and deeper into my rainbow heart. <3

Date: 2008-04-28 09:04 pm (UTC)The "sexy pig of silence" indeed. LOL
I love Mamoritai because of the sincerity in the way he sang it. I keep calling that the ex-girlfriend song because I have a theory that it's for the ex he mentioned (or slipped actually) during their first Utaban appearance... hehe
no subject
Date: 2008-04-29 12:54 am (UTC)That it does! It's crazy in a fun way and yet it makes utter sense [in the One Piece world].
I shall really have to find Wonder Boy then. XD
All of K8 are just adorable, although I like Ohkura, Ryo and Yoko best. Hina's necessary for some semblance of sanity, Yasu's just cute (and so easily bullied!), Maru's cuckoo (maybe too much sometimes ^^ ) and Baru... Is just... Well, he's crazy too. hahah!

Date: 2008-04-29 12:56 am (UTC)It looks pretty good :D

Date: 2008-04-29 01:07 am (UTC)HmmmMMMmmmm.... Interesting theory about Mamoritai. The one who liked his Dior perfume? XDD Or perhaps he has a new girlfriend now and the song was for her. I wonder... :3
XD

Date: 2008-04-29 02:28 am (UTC)I would think the one who wore the Dior perfume. haha

Date: 2008-05-09 02:23 am (UTC)Gakkou E Ikou...the pranks were really simple but so funny. I just loved watching Arashi as (except Nino who we don't watch playing games all the time but of course that's obvious XD). That makes me love them even more. And I do react with an "EEH?" lol but not AS nearly funny as Ohno or Aiba or Sho XDD (I still have to rewind those "suzuki-san", "azasuba" "paiotsu" and Ohno parts because I find them sooo amusing!)
Ken Miyake was really cute in this! although I've got to tell you, the crossdressing males freaked me out a bit, they did look like girls!! Especially Kentarou-kun. I had no idea they were so organized in Japan as far as to do contests about that lol.

Date: 2008-05-09 05:04 am (UTC)Better finish watching season 2 before the movie comes out! hahah
GeI was great XD
I'm wondering whose idea it was to start this Josou Paradise segment anyway... hahah
Ken-kun's cute most of the time :P
