[M-Sta] Arashi - Meikyuu Love Song

November 11, 2011

I am going to see if I still remember how to do this. Some guilty pleasures, you can try but you never grow out of. How long has it been? Did you hear that there's a new Johnny's group called Sexy Zone? Well, as horrible as the group's name is, I can easily name a handful with a worse name.

[Their clothes, so much nicer nowadays, no? Except that blasphemous vest Aiba's got on. Jeez, there's always something weird on someone.]

My problem is the age. When you combine the age with the group name, one question comes to mine, "What the fucking hell?" These kids' balls have yet to drop, they have yet to hit puberty and here they are, calling themselves... THAT and saying that its their aim, to display their sexiness.

[On average, their debut age is two years younger than Arashi's 16, wasn't it? But I believe there's a bigger age gap with the new one. And the members of Arashi wondered why they got the joke of a costume while these kids slid through with roses.]

Kids, what have these adults done to you? Japanese. Tsk tsk tsk. But when they claimed to want to emulate Arashi's success, I find it endearing. It made me proud that the once dud group can now truly claim supreme. No one can deny that with what they have achieved.

[You can tell Aiba's all, "I'm an awesome senior now!" Ahh Aiba.]

While they might not be selling as much, let us not forget their successful concerts, movies and the dramas. It is like a tag team, how they throw out dramas each season. I have to admit that while I collect, I no longer watch. I am saving them for rainy days. Well, more like I really don't feel the pull as intensely.

[Candle Sho. Oh, how your image has been damaged since the olden days when you were the University graduate with like... etiquettes and composure and all sorts of shizzles. Times change. I believe it started around 2006, his decline. During an episode of Shukudai-kun.]

But the variety shows, I watch religiously and have done so all along, even with my absence here. During Nishino Kana's talk, they touched on aromatherapy candles. Sho, disgraceful. Embarrassingly so. xD I remember that topic coming up during VS Arashi.

[And the members, too, are weirded out.]

He thinks its cool, Aromatherapy. No bro, its kinda weird that you gotta fake it.

Candle Sho. Even his members were weirded out. Like, the legend of Candle Sho. xDDD

I still cannot get over that new group's name. Jeez, Sexy Zone. SEXY ZONE, do you know the youngest is 11 years old? I call this the weird-kid-Usher-discovered-effect. Then again, Japan was doing young before the western civilisations did.

[Dear Sho, its not working. I want to laugh when I see your face and remember your fail face during VS Arashi. Fail, Sho. Fail.]

Did you see those dandy dance moves? Were they supposed to draw girls in? What the hell is up with that rose on their microphones? It is a whole new level of weird. Then again, Johnny's had been doing weird since the 1980s. Don't let me bring that up.

These kids are serious brown-nosers, and true that Arashi is at the point where all the others should try that on them. Not that they are the new SMAP. I don't see a single selling two million copies. But in this era, it is hard.

I like how Arashi is actually nice to their juniors though. Remember how KinKi Kids were. Wait, I correct myself, remember how DoTs was? No, wait, SMAP? Well there were friendly moments, but it wasn't Arashi's foolish musings. These really help. Though Jun did say something about KinKi being there helped or something.

Well then again, I am biased. I wonder if they looked at these kids and remember how they were when they first started out. Like with every group, you could tell right away who were the duds and who were the so-called 'stars' with the new one.

Dude, 11 years old. We shall see diapers on stage very soon. Wait for it. And they'll call them sexy poo.

The song, we'll leave the song for if and when I do the PV for Meikyuu. Its okay, but I was actually more hooked on that stupid Sexy Zone song. It is such an embarrassment. Well, what do you expect? It is so catchy!

[M-Sta] NEWS - Sakura Girl

I like the set. That's the best part of the performance, the set. And it is not thanks to them that the set is so pretty.

I mean, the song isn't bad. It is okay. And it is just okay. I won't remember it after this entry. I cannot believe how boring NEWS conversation can get. It is really, really boring. No wonder they don't have their own show. Wait... they do now right?

Something about eco-friendly crap? And they left out the two most popular members in the show. You know why? Cos they have better things to do than to participate in the crap show. I never bothered to watch even one episode. That's how convinced I am that it sucks. I have no idea what the title is.

Back to the performance. The only reason I watched the performance is to see Ryo. Also, there's to watch how much they suck. It was so boring and it wasn't pleasant enough to lull me to sleep. I mean, it isn't repulsive, except for the part where Shige tried to make me cry with his really, really horrible voice.

I couldn't see half of Ryo's face. That's nice. It is a waste of time, watching this. Why am I talking about it here? Cos I need to diss something.

The chorus isn't half bad actually. I just don't remember how it sounded like now that I finished watching, except for the fact that it isn't half bad.

I don't know why suddenly I am so critical, Maybe it is because I was watching American Idol and then I watched this and then you see the gap and then you go... why is Japan still obsessed with boybands? Boybands are ruling their charts and in no other country (that I take note of their musical industry) does that happen.

I like the set. It is pink and stuff.

I hate that thing Pi was wearing.

Okay to fess up, you know that last moment of the performance, where they're all like posing and crap. I think I saw a RyoPi moment. I have a weak spot for RyoPi and I will have it no matter how old I grow, okay? I swear Pi was smiling at Ryo because of that unfunny shit Ryo pulled where he held his head back and crap. It wasn't funny, but Pi was smiling. I swear that's love.

What? I have a weak spot. It is my guilty pleasure, albeit it being long forgotten.

[M-Sta] Arashi - Troublemaker

5 March 2010

First they had Ohno give crap advise to Sanma-san's daughter. Next they had Sho talk about the Vancouver thingie. Then they announced that Ohno is voted the celebrity most likely to cry at graduation.

I didn't cry a tear at my graduation. Either one of them. I did cry a lot BEFORE it though, when I thought about how I have to work. Ah, seems just like yesterday. But that was half a year ago. Sad, my life.

Anyway, the MQ segment, they had Aiba say things he wants his parents' to stop doing. Aiba's dad drinks the stuff he brought for the members before the members were drinking them. Hey it is not like the members had time to drink pre-concert, righto?

I like the bright and shiny, wholesome performance. It is for happy people. I need some happy-people vibe. I think I have an outright repulsive aura. I've been told it is about more than the looks. Apparently, personality counts.

I have no idea what personality means. This is no place to rant eh... okay, fine. Back to Arashi then. Nino's sissy arm is persistant. Sakurai Sho thinks he's hot all the time. He had to start the ass shaking intro with his mouth all open thinking he's all sexy. I see Jun doing that too, but that's MatsuJun. You kinda expect that from him, no?

It is no double standards, but it is MatsuJun. He get hair extensions in the summer of 2006 and his hair was all... wavy. So MatsuJun gets to shake his ass and think he is hot during performances, Sho doesn't. I mean, shaking his ass with his mouth open is like... low keyed for MatsuJun, have you not seen his solo performance at the National Olympic Stadium for the AAA 2008 tour?

Yes, exactly.

MatsuJun gets to think he's all hot, Sakurai doesn't.

Ohno got a lighter hair color. I like. Makes him look younger. I think he hadn't gotten another colour since Maou, as far as I remember, it stayed rather dark. I like. Is it for some drama?

Aiba, still so pretty. Now, Aiba gets to be all smiley and happy and look like he's really having fun during performance. But Sho doesn't. Aiba gets to be cutesy, Sho doesn't. When Sho does it, it just looks fake. Aiba's the sunshine. He can fart into a flower and make it bloom. Sho farts into a flower, it gives out sulfur after photosynthesis.

What? I don't have anything against the man. Maybe it is the hair. The hair is an important factor. No, it isn't because he got to go to Vancouver. It isn't because he came out of the vajayjay with a ticket to Keio. It isn't because he's all "I graduation from Keio and am a newscaster."

Lucky ass.

What? I woke up really early to watch the stupid Oscars and I am real cranky now. Cos like, I didn't get enough sleep. The highlight for me was when Gerard Butler and Bradley Cooper came out to present the Outstanding Visual Effects. Kate Winslet was gorgeous! Sandra Bullock too. Then there's Sean Penn, I like Sean Penn but it seems like he isn't much of a speaker is he? That dude from the Hurt Locker... WHOA HOTNESS.

Okay gotta sleep.
