Grammar. One of the things I need brushing up on.

I have about 2 months to brush up on my Japanese before I fly. Even if I can't converse, I should be able to understand the basics and read the kanji.

Ganbare, self. You can do it.

My LDH bias as of now

I tend to like the reserved, serious people. It's a bonus if they happen to be good-looking. But heck, first impressions aren't everything. Otherwise I'll be cringing at how they looked when they first debut.

My bias

Exile: Makidai

The Second: Tetsuya

3JSB: Gun-chan, Naoto, Naoki, Omi. In fact, I love them all. Favourite group among Exile Tribe Pyramid

Generations: Ryota, Reo, Yuta

Dream: all. Erie especially. I'm going to miss her performing because she's staying on as a DJ.

Flower: Harumi, Mio, Shuuka. Kyoka left the entertainment world to be a normal girl QAQ

Happiness: Yurino, Sayaka, Kaede, Miyuu

Doberman Infinity: Kazuki, Sway

Gekidan Exile: Aoyagi Sho, Suzuki Nobuyuki

Rainy Day One Two Three

Argh. Address. Phone number. What. Does this apply to foreigners if they win? You're not going to expect a 100% Japanese audience yo.

I can't get this song out of my head. And it does not help when you imagine those two "best friends" being idiots and doing this to their significant others.

In addition,



Naoto. When he was a back-up dancer for Ayumi pre-JSB. The song is lovely, by the way.

Exile 魂

Last episode of Exile Tamashii is a collection of songs. And special performances.

20120923 Exile 魂 最終回SP

http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/uAp4KyB7p4g

Then I found this: http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/jdWN-R1VI1Q/

NAOKI AND KENCHI. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH BOTH OF YOU?! IDIOTS. BOTH OF YOU ARE IDIOTS.

MY GOD. I NEED TO FIND THAT PARTICULAR EPISODE

Edit: http://youtubewara.blog10.fc2.com/blog-entry-5205.html

I swear, digging up the past programs pretty much equates to blackmail material. And more fic ideas. Yes.

...

And I regret going onto the Naoki Kenchi tag on Google. Just let me stick to the Naoto Naoki tag...

More Exile Tamashii episodes here: http://youtubewara.blog10.fc2.com/blog-category-265.html

Time to watch them.

HiGH&LOW Press conference

https://twitter.com/hulu_japan/status/656137585304010756

I look forward to Mugen Road.

I look forward to the fighting choreography.

BRING IT.



Press Conference 8D I really thought Mighty Warriors was the protagonist team. Turns out to be Hoodlum Squad huh. And Gun-chan is one of the lead actors.

Reading some of the press releases, I laughed at Hiro saying Gun-chan looked scary.



I like. Very much.

Ok self, time to brush up on your Japanese. At least make sure you can read the N5 and N4 kanji, and know the vocab and grammar.

特賞：EXILEメンバーと写真撮影ができるバックヤードご招待！

http://m.ex-m.jp/news/detail?news_id=9892

WHAT KIND OF LUCK MUST I HAVE TO ACTUALLY SECURE A MEET & GREET WITH THEM??!! WELL, THE PHOTO-TAKING IS A BONUS, BUT A MEET & GREET.

There are only 10 winners x 2 each concert day. Buy the Ki Mi Ni Mu Chu single at the concert venue (or you can reserve, since the release date is on Dec 9), and you'll get a scratch card.

Special prize: Meet & Greet + photo-taking session x 10 (each winner can bring a friend)
A prize: Signed member item x 18 (aka one autographed item from each member per day)
B prize: Signed A3 poster x 500

I'll try my luck. In the meantime, build up good karma from the bottom of my heart. I want no flight delays and not to fall sick when I'm overseas.

Ki•mi•ni•mu•chu

I can't wait to dance the chorus with them during the concert! It looks so fun!

Gun-chan makes me smile. There's no denying it. His smile makes me feel better. Thank you for smiling, Gun-chan.

This movie is really cute. Can't wait.

I resonate with this article. Brilliant. So much yes. You want to change? Do something. Take action.

Just read this article.

High & Low kuji at Lawsons and HMV starting from Dec 8.

THANKS.

HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE ENOUGH STOCK WHEN I GET THERE. I KNOW NARITA AIRPORT HAS LAWSONS.

三代目 J Soul Brothers Albums

http://jsoulb.jp/discography/archive.php

I'm going to dig through the 3JSB discography for the albums. I want to collect the MVs and Makings and Documents. The documents are a never-ending source of entertainment.

Japanese Soul Brothers

Tribal Soul - This comes with the 2JSB vs 3JSB DVD. Want.

Miracle

3JSB Best/Blue Impact

I think 3JSB is the first music group I've ever started collecting. Well, besides my fondness for collecting concert DVDs. Magazines...not so much. I'm selective, thank you. And from the look of things, I'm very sure I'll need a shelf just for my Exile Tribe pyramid items.

Things I want when I get my own apartment:

1. Shelf/Cabinet for all my magazines and DVDs and CDs
2. storage for my fan items eg badges, keychains
3. a pet or two
4. a sofa bed so that I can sleep in the living room if I'm tired.
5. my piano

Contrary to belief, I like my stuff organised.
