*Note: This update is a bandwidth killer. No, a brutal bandwidth killer.
Since I am into the whole Johnny's thing, I learned 1 word that can be very useful to describe a feeling that is difficult to describe with any other English word. The word is "SPAZZING".
Frankly, I am not sure what it means, but I think it is short for "OMFG LIKE SERIOUSLY, I CANT BREATHE COS JOHNNY'S IS TRYING TO KILL ME BY JUMPING AROUND IN FANCY SHINY OUTFITS/CURTAINS AND HUGGING EACH OTHER." Or not.
Either ways. I watched Johnny's Countdown! It was up slowly last night and I got it about 10 hours after they ended. I finished watching it just now, after lunch.
I am happy in so many ways. Because I am home-bound for the next week or so, (For many, many reasons excluding house-arrest.) I found something to make me happy.
And to tell the whole thing in detail, would mean that I have to make about 200 screencaps. And frankly, I am crazy but not THAT crazy. So I will just cap some of the best, best moments that will surely be making some noise for a while.
Some highlights before going on and on with the show.

Its not a biased list. There's Jin. I don't like Jin a lot, but he's in. I am as unbiased as one can be.
Arashi was the MC for the night! Their outfits were yellow and black and they looked great in them! Ohno was so cute!
KinKi was the first to be introduced and they sang a little bit of their debut single "Garasu no Shounen"... xD
Then DoKo introduced Arashi and they sang the chorus for "Happiness".
NewS came out next! They sang "Hoshi wo Mezashite". I think I have seen these clothes from the Never Ending Wonderful Story DVD.
TOKIO sang "Honjitsu, Mijukumono". It is a good song!
V6 came out singing "Honey Beat"
Tackey and Tsubasa sang a bit of "X~Dame~"
KAT-TUN sang "Yorokobi no Uta" but they were wearing "Keep the Faith" costume.
Kanjani8 came out singing "Its My Soul". Ryo ran back when KAT-TUN was singing and appeared again with Kanjani8. Ryo is probably the busiest man on stage that night, besides Arashi, who was MC-ing.
Actually, KinKi was just having their concert there before the Countdown, so the Tokyo Dome stage setting was the shape of KinKi Kids' album's name. "Phi" which has the shape of... like, a zero with a slash. (O.o )
When Arashi was talking DoTs flirted with the married man, Inocchi of V6. xD We can see that DoKo was kinda jealous.
Then KAT-TUN performed "Keep the Faith" and Koki brought all sorts of things on stage like a cap that he doesn't wear and a pair of sunglasses that he doesn't need. If you observe closely, while dancing, the sunglasses fell and Jin had to pick it up for him. That's for being so tackey, Koki.
TxT performed "Samurai". Tsubasa needs more hair.
V6 performed "Way of Life" with poise and charisma and everything nice la.
Okada Junichi has to be the most... handsome man in Johnny's now. I mean, you can never get a screencap of him looking bad. NEVER. With say, Jun, sometimes, if you catch him unprepared, he can look really bad.
Kanjani8 sang "Zukkoke Otoko Michi." Ryo quickly slipped into K8 outfit. ^^ I think he now is able to slip into and take off clothes as fast as models.
NewS trying to do the choreography to "Zukkoke Otoko Michi" It was extremely cute.
Hey! Say! JUMP singing "Ultra Music Power". FYI, that is Chinen Yuri in the middle of doing a flip.
They only performed once and then had to go off stage. I think it has something to do with Japan's Child Labour Law.
TOKIO sang "SEISYuN".
NewS' performance of "weeeek" saw another change of costume for Ryo. Ryo is a busy man.
Arashi took the last performance slot before the countdown to the year 2008. The sang "Love So Sweet" yet again. I can honestly say, I am STILL NOT bored with the song. ^^
Jun was doing the leg thing which some call "leg-wriggling" since we don't have a name for that yet, we will call it Jun's leg-wriggle.
Then it was the countdown! Then 2008 arrived in Japan, they had fireworks and balloons. And Nagase forced a kiss on DoKo for his berfdei! It was so... funnay!
Then they all sang a song called "Hatsu Uta" composed especially for this Countdown as this is the 10th Countdown and 10th anniversary is something special. Below are thumbnails of various groups singing the song. First is Mabo with a mohawk. Ohno, being cute. Pi. KAT-TUN. Miyake Ken and Subaru.
Then they sang songs that were hits for each year from 1998 to 2006. (Because 2007 hits were performed earlier.)
1998 - (KinKi Kids - "Jetcoaster Romance" TOKIO - "Love&Peace" V6 - "Be Yourself")
1999 - (Arashi - "A.RA.SHI.")
2000 - (Arashi - "Sunrise Nippon") NewS sang with them! It was cute!
Sho and Tegoshi!
Shige and Ohno. Ohno being weird, again.
Nino and Pi! xD Nino being the evil senpai scratching Pi's face.
Jun and Ryo. Showing affection to each other in public. Again. God, like tell the world that you guys are close, and get a room already. ^^ I know that Pi and Nino were in "Stand Up!!" together, thats why they are close, but Ryo and Jun... I knew they were close, I just didn't know how.
Aiba sandwiched between Massu and Koyama.
2001 - (TOKIO - "Message") With Kanjani8!
Drummers Ohkura and Mabo. Mabo letting Ohkura do the drumming for a TOKIO song!
Bassists, Maruyama and Yamaguchi.
Taichi and Hina!
Subaru with his skirt, yet again. Yoko and Nagase!
Below and thumbnails of Jin and the rest of KAT-TUN besides Kame singing "Hitoribocchi no Haburashi" which is a song by Sakuraba Yuichiro a.k.a. Nagase Tomoya's character in a show or drama or something.
2002
Firstly Jun and Kame sang "Kanashimi Blue" by KinKi Kids. What a nice pairing. I mean, these two are the wriggliest men in Johnny's that I have observed.
Then we see the combo of Taguchi, Subaru, Mabo, Toma, Ohno and Tsubasa singing TOKIO's "Hanauta". (At this point, I was already very, very excited. Because like those six, I like em all. And TOMA finally appeared. I was wondering when he would show up!)
Later, we have Nakamaru, Koki, Morita, Miyake and Taichi singing Arashi's "PIKANCHI". Nakamaru was beat boxing and Koki was singing Sho's rap. Then Morita was smiling so much and Miyake and Taichi was playing around.
2003
Afterwards, Aiba, Nagase, Koyama, Pi, Ohkura, Tegoshi and Nino sang "Eien no Bloods" Originally by KinKi Kids.
Tackey and DoKo sang "Darling" by V6.
DoTs, Inocchi and Okada sang "Be Ambitious" by TOKIO.
Then TxT sang their own "Yume Monogatari"
NewS sang their own "NewS Nippon"
KinKi Kids sang their own "Anniversary" and "Ne Ganbaruyo"
2005
Aiba then presented Kanjani8 who sang their own "Sukiyanen, Osaka" Although Arashi said they aren't good friends with K8 and denied their devotion to them, we all know they're like real close. Or so I hope. ^^
In the first thumbnail you can see Aiba squatting next to Yoko!
The fans and HSJ are doing the hand actions to K8's song! It was fun to watch.
Then Shuji and Akira or Kame and Pi sang "Seishun Amigo", which was exciting! Haven't heard that song in a long time. Haven't seen this collab in a long time. This was good enough.
But the fans let out a louder cheer when Ryo and Jin came to join them! Its like, insane!
Jin kicking Ryo onstage... of course, playfully. Or at least I think it was... xD
Then Toraji Haiji OR DoTs and Taichi sang "Fantastipo" joined by DoKo and Nagase. Totally funny.
2006
Pi sang "Daite Senorita" while accompanied by Toma! In one of the cap below you can see them posing joined at the head. Oh and Ueda, Yamaguchi and Nagano was there along with some faceless juniors.
TegoMass sang "Miso Soup" with Joushima and Sakamoto.
Then Kisarazu Cat's Eye or just Okada and Sakurai sang "Seaside Bye bye" with the rest of V6 and the rest of Arashi.
KAT-TUN sang their debut single "Real Face". They were on the moving thingie with Akame + Koki at the bottom while Taguchi, Ueda and Nakamaru are on top.
Kanjani and NewS were riding on the same moving thingie with Kanjani at the bottom. After Kanjani8 sang "Kanfuu Fighting" Ryo just ran up to sing "Sayaendou" with NewS xD. Oh and yes, K8 were wearing their "Ee Honma? Bikkuri!" Tour outfit, with all the Yankee style. xD
Arashi then sang "Kitto Daijoubu" while riding on the thingie on top of KAT-TUN. Then the four groups were just moving around near the audience. It was so, so so so cool!
KinKi sang "Harmony of December" with DoKo singing affectionately to Taichi and Mabo kneeling to DoTs for some reason.
V6 sang "Goodday"
TxT sang "Venus" when the music started, TxT and V6 suddenly were possessed by winged-animals, most probably chickens.
TOKIO sang "Sorafune" while singing, KinKi and TOKIO members went crazy.
Higashiyama sang "Itoshii no Napolitan" which is a song by a unit called Trio the Shakiin, which also has Morita Go in it.
Then the boys born in the rat year (those turning 24 or 36 in 2008) came out in a big freaking moving dragon to make a speech. xD
They have Yamaguchi Tatsuya, Nagano Hiroshi, Akanishi Jin, Nishikido Ryo, Yasuda Shota, Koyama Keiichiro and Ikuta Toma! Jin said he won't go abroad to study anymore. JUN ASKED RYO out for a meal. And Toma was advertising his dramas.
Then KinKi Kids were asked to say a few words. Followed by TxT. These two couples are so lovey dovey!
V6 went next followed by K8 and NewS, then KAT-TUN, then TOKIO. Explanation unneeded, a picture says a thousand words. But oh, when Ohno was interviewing NewS, SHO KIUT.
They sang "Hatsu Uta" again.
Couldn't resist another cap of Toma.
Then Arashi sent Ohno to say a few words on their behalf, as always, Ohno's hopes for the new year is something trivial. Something like wanting to go somewhere peacefully. Couldn't catch it when he said the place. Nevermind. Ohno was wearing freaky 2008 glasses. Oh sho kiut.
