419. TOO CUTE. *flails*  


WaT have a new single out!!! :D Toki o Koete ~Fantastic World~ <3
The PV made me squeal repeatedly. Teppei is of course the main source, but to my surprise Wentz is also very cute. Observe:



ASDFASKLAGFDHGHA *_________*
A big, BIG thank you to [info]hiroki_chan for uploading the single and the PV :) You have given me more reason to squeal ^^ and a new song to play on repeat. (As if Destiny's Play, Daite Senorita & Hoshi Wo Mezashite weren't enough :P)

Because yes, I am also being converted into a NewS fangirl (THEY RULE!!! *___*), although I first listened to them because of Yamapi (who I am beginning to worship) and Tegoshi -who has a surprisingly great voice- but I like all of them now. Shige has a cute smile, Koyama is a total dork, and Massu is cute and squishy. And he sings well. Just GUH, I love them all. And most of their songs are so happy go lucky (Summer Time, Weeeek, Hoshi Wo Mezashite... <3) with the occasional exception, like Taiyou no Namida... ^^ *sigh* And Yamapi. OH GOD YAMAPI. I didn't like him this much when I watched him in Nobuta or Kurosagi, but I guess the awesomeness has started to pile up and I suddenly find myself totally pining over the sheer memory of the Daite Senorita PV. O____O

But of course, the definition of happy go lucky is indeed WaT. Who can forget the attrociousness dorkyness that is TOKIMEKI DOOBEEDOO?! For the sake of laughter and squealing please watch that video, it cracks me up every single time!! (Although when I listen to the song it's okay, but THE HORROR OF THE GREEN BACKGROUND AND THE FRILLY OUTFITS!! AND THE CHOREOGRAPHY!! *________* watch it please.)

Oh, also, I watched Zettai Kareshi #3 last night. My thoughts:
  • Why does that woman refuse to use Night in his intended way? That's what he was made for, electric appliance or not. Yes, it was an impulse buy and you should not have bought him. AT LEAST GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH. >_<
  • I love Moko's acting in this drama. He's so robotic, exactly like what I imagine robots to be. And he cracks me up every time he doesn't understand something. :D So cute. ^^ On top of that I just can't place him as Tsucchi anymore, and I figure that's the best part about his acting. It's so natural and complete that he doesn't remind me of his old roles. :)
  • I was reading the Soompi thread on the drama and someone mentioned how Mizushima Hiro's character resembles Nanba from HanaKimi... Well, in some aspect that is true, but he is also very responsible and thoughtful, which Nanba was NOT, admittedly. But there is one major common point between the characters: they're both hot. Because they're MIZUSHIMA HIRO. I'm still mad because he didn't get much screentime in this episode >_< MOAR MIZUSHIMA HIRO NAO PLZKTHX.
  • KAJI MASAKI!!! His role is so tiny (he must have had like, 3 lines and that's it)!! But he's there, and that's something. Yay for D-Boys & PoT infiltration. Observe the godawful hairdo of DOOM ^^ & Namikiri's evil glare in the second picture... *giggles*
  • I wonder what will happen now that Night has restarted... It seems like the perfect excuse to give him back to Kronos Heaven, but that's not going to happen because we need the triangle :P
  • The ending song is so sad... Especially for someone who knows the ending, which will probably be the same as the manga's ~even though the story has changed completely for the transition from manga to drama~ it's so melancholic...
  • MORE MORE MORE! ^_________^ #4 airs tomorrow in Japan!


Which reminds me that I need to watch Gokusen 3 as well. It's on ep 3, I already have the first one. YANKUMI :D

I'm also on episode 8 of Yukan Club, which is great so far. Typical jdrama structure, with episodes that focus on stories involving one of the main characters each time, great cast (Kat-tun's Jin + Junno + Kanjani8's Yuu + NewS's Koyama ~so far~ = Johnny's overload!! if Yamapi appeared in it I'd DIE from too much Johnny's XD), and KEEP THE FAITH of course <3 Gotta love that song ^^ it's one of my all-time favourites.
I want to finish it soon so I can move on to other stuff I have to watch. ^^ I have like 5-6 anime I haven't even started, plus Bleach which I want to catch up on. I hear fillers have started again. >_< How do they do that? HOW?! :P



And THAT was my fandom post for this week evening, Amsterdam post left to do! :D

Ok... This was my first contact with WaT. A friend of mine likes them. They are... hahahaha! Totally an anime song! And they act like anime characters. What else do they do?
And yes, News have really nice songs as well!

Which one is an anime song? DooBeeDoo? ^___^ It's probably the dorkiest song EVER. But generally, I love WaT because they're so happy and smiling and cute :) If you watch this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=0mDTKW-e9u4) you'll see that japanese people have the same idea about them too. No matter how bad you feel, listen to WaT and the smile will be back on your face. ^^

I'm still not sure exactly how large their fanbase is and what kind of an audience they target (teenage girls, I assume). All of their songs are of the 5cm kind (see video above), and if you search around on YouTube you'll get a pretty good feeling. I have posted a Koike Teppei song in an older entry of mine, which is also in the same style. Wentz's personal style is more to the rock side. But Teppei writes the WaT songs, so his style prevails. They just make me squee with relatively no effort at all. They stand there being all pretty and cute and that does it for me. *melts*

NewS... OH GUH. *______* <33 SO MUCH LOVE.

Yes, I saw DooBeeDoo first and 5cm afterwards. Lovely song! Not my taste actually, but it's sweet and they are cute indeed! Why Japanese boys are so cute? It's unfair!!!

I KNOW!!! THEY STOLE ALL THE CUTENESS!!!
Haha it's not most people's style, but you can't resist them XD They're so... HAPPY. :D I love that.
I think DooBeeDoo was their first vid that I saw as well (not counting Kimi Ni Okuru Uta because that's a Teppei solo), and I was like WTF?!?!?!?! It cracks me up every time I watch it :D
