There are only three things you need to know about w-inds.: they are pretty, they are gay, and their choice in punctuation is one of the greater mysteries of life.
Also, they are a Japanese boyband.
Here's their latest video, It's In The Stars. I'm shoving this at you right off the bat, because omg, it has everything -- there are spaceships! Shiny pants! They save the world at the end! They are gay. They cruise at the bar and drink pink cocktails with their pinkies held out. (<-- it also twinkles, because of THE BLING, or maybe it was just the reflection of the disco ball? questions, questions.) If you watch this and don't wind up laughing/boggling at the sheer amount of crack, then YOU HAVE NO SOUL perhaps this group is just not for you, in which case I forgive you for not writing me rps threesome smut.
But! If you are interested, I present:
the eradication of any dignity you ever hoped to have, or: w-inds.
This is Keita:
This is Ryohei:
This is Ryuichi:
Together, they are --
-- well, we can ship them, that's all that matters. *hurries on!*
w-inds. ... oh, man. What can I say? They're jpop at its shiniest and most reputation-destroying unless you can convert your friends, too, and I heartily reccomend this course of action -- they sing, they dance, they've made approximately 2937263 gum commercials (<-- SCIENTIFIC ESTIMATE), most of which involve them leaping from tall buildings, riding on clouds, or, my favorite:
wearing magical pink suits that trail rainbow sparkles while they smell roses in slow-motion. :D Those of you who think I'm exaggerting about the gay: HAHAHAHAHA.
They've also been around five years already; the group was formed when the boys were fifteen/sixteen and adorable little woobies, and now they're twenty and total sexpots. omg, I do not lie. Keita does this little wink-with-a-smirk thing that is simultaneously HOT and the dorkiest thing ever and also HOT; Ryohei's a frequent breakdancer, so we're treated to gratuitous flashes of stomach during any given routine, and Ryuichi? oh, baby.
I wish I could wear a skirt as well as he does. ♥ ♥ ♥
Anywaaay~ my point, here, is that I've uploaded The Goods in the order that's most liable to make you beg for more, *not* chronologically. If you randomly download a video and then are like "AHH MIDGETS, JAPANESE MIDGETS" -- don't worry. They grow up. There's plenty of time to perve!
Note: these are all on sendspace because the awesome awesome
shinigamitabris has already upped them all on megaupload on
her site. If/when my links expire and you don't want to wait for me to re-up it, head there. :D
It's in the Stars (
mp3): again, WATCH THIS ONE FIRST. It shows you exactly what you're getting into: shiny, and gay, and crack, SO MUCH CRACK, liberally dosed with... um. even more crack? It's fun and completely impossible and they do disco moves. Hasn't failed to convert anyone yet!
Kirei da (
mp3): I love this video so much, omg. If you thought the dancing in It's in the Stars was hilariously awesome, check this shit out -- they do hip-thrusts and twirls under disco balls, Ryohei gets the spotlight to breakdance and his shirt keeps riding up oh my god I love gravity, and then they run down the stairs, THROW THEIR JACKETS OVER THEIR SHOULDERS (revealing black vests and pink, long-sleeved satin-y shirts underneath; I did not know I had this kink until w-inds. fulfilled it for me), to DANCE ON THE STAIRS. Dancing! On motherfuckin' stairs! At one point, Keita even does the Atobe snap, and Ryuichi and Ryohei come running out so they can all burst into synchronized choreography.
I love this band.
Time Machine: What happens when a boyband rocks out? YOU GET WOLFIE'S FAVORITE LIVE PERFORMANCE EVER OMG. This is a from a concert in 2005, and w-inds. just owns the stadium of fangirls screaming their names; there are flashy lights and glowsticks and guitar riffs and EXPLOSIONS and smoke and fuzzy cuffs and and sweaty w-inds. and bouncing around and and and -- ! It's just. omg. ♥ ♥ ♥ Keita falls to his knees to belt out a note. HOW CAN YOU RESIST HIM IN A POSITION LIKE THAT.
Love Is Message (
mp3): I had reservations about putting this one so high on the list, because the song is catchy enough, but it's very bubblegum, and thus very not the sound I wanted to sell you guys on. (ie: PORN. WRITE ME DIRTY, DIRTY RPS THREESOME PORN.) However! This video is slashy. I'm so not kidding. A soft, dreamy lens focuses on Keita touching Ryuichi's shoulder and sharing his guitar, then smooshing together with Ryohei to watch the playback of his dancing on a tiny little camcorder screen. At the end, Keita looks at a row of pictures (seriously, picture after picture after picture) of the three of them, while "love is! love is!" plays in the background. LOVE IS = W-INDS. BEING GAY.
Feel the Fate (
mp3): While we're focusing on a younger w-inds., I thought I'd go ahead and upload this video, which is their second-ever, when they're fifteen/sixteen and look twelve. THEY ARE SO CUTE AND ICKLE AND WEE. It's adorably awful. They can't dance at all, it's more like vaguely synchronized flailing, and I've had one person tell me this is the video that made them fall in love with w-inds. -- they're just so cuuute. :D
Super Lover ~I need you tonight~ (
mp3): and here is a fun song, just to put things back in perspective. It starts with Keita saying "hi baby, don't you know me? I need super lover tonight" in cute warbly English, and ends with confetti sprinkles falling in slow-motion over the ot3 since "super lover" is actually talking about each other, and they decided to get married.
If you enter w-inds. fandom, you won't take two steps without hearing a super lover joke. Harry Potter has wands, Prince of Tennis has rackets, w-inds. has Super Lovers. :D
Izayoi no Tsuki (
mp3): Time-skipping a bit, but it's been three whole songs since I mentioned the gay, omg. And this video is full of it: someone gets dumped, and there is individual moping for awhile, but then they come together and everything is all right again! The three of them crowd on a couch and point at things in the picture album; there are some questionable crotch shots in the process. Then they go sit on the beach together and watch the unimportant female flee down the coastline, MAKING NO MOVE TO RUN AFTER HER, BY THE WAY, because they've realized what matters is each other. Uh huh. You don't need pesky things like English lyrics to realize what's going on here.
Have I mentioned I'm desperate for threesome fic? *gnaws on jeans*
Kawariyuku Sora (
mp3): This is, like, their "day in the life" video. And since they're a boyband, their daily life consists of synchronized choreography against sunsets. But! There is also skateboarding, and hanging out with friends in a diner (putting ice down each others' shirts = TRUE LOVE), and sparklers. *____* Hello, I am Wolfie, show me something that fizzles brightly and I cannot look away.
Shiki (
mp3): Beautiful song. Panty-melting outfits. (Sleeveless black tees, cargo-ish pants, boots, FINGERLESS LEATHER GLOVES. ajshalssdhaksh. Again: if I didn't have this kink before, w-inds. helped me get that way.)
Long Road (
mp3): I don't know why I love this one so much, since it's pretty normal considering the level of crack they usually put out, but... I dunno. The lyrics are
optimistic, Ryuichi and Ryohei get to rap some more, they're in trenchcoats. I say it's a winner. *grins*
Yakusoku no Kakera (
mp3): Aaand, last but not least (actually, not last either; w-inds. has like ten more music videos, I just intended this post to be a sample :D), we have more crack and another pointless love interest. Seriously -- she gets stood up, then finds one of their shows, and none of them even look at her. She cannot possibly break through their bubble of music and gay. She doesn't understand. Theirloveissoboyband, and no one can intrude.
But we can watch. >:D
Oh, and a bonus! These songs don't have videos, but they're dripping with the ot3, which you should be shipping by now if I'm worth anything. XD
Never Mind --
I thought it was natural that the three of us were together/from now until forever, that's what I thought... This is totally an ot3 song, and I didn't even realize it until
nightflight pointed it out and translated those lyrics.
He was the same as me, eyes fixed on you
The difference was in the courage to confess.
You don't have to apologize. "We'll still be friends."
That's true, that's not a lie, however...
Look! Two w-inds. members loved the third, except one confessed and the other didn't, so now two of them are a happy couple and the one that remains is hurt and left out. If this three-way angst is canon, why can't I get a fic like it? :(( Just, y'know, be sure to give them a happy ending. The couple accepts the lonely one after a hot night of sex, in which they all realize the best things come in threes!
Hush -- I love you both, but... keep it hush hush, baby. This part is said in English, so there's no mistaking it. Sekkrit threesomes for the win!
And now, I present the part y'all were waiting for. The GAY PICSPAM. >:D If you, ah, haven't noticed by now, I love me some Keita/Ryuichi/Ryohei, but due to the threesome of their nature, it is occasionally necessary that they splinter off.
Case in point, sometimes Keita is possessive of Ryuichi:
And sometimes he's possessive of Ryohei:
And sometimes they're possessive of him:
And sometimes they're possessive without him at all:
But, most of the time, Keita is possessive of both his boyfriends at the same time:
And then sometimes they're just gay, period. :))
And that concludes my pimping of w-inds. Remember: when you fall utterly in love with them and are cursing their unearthly prettiness as your downfall, writing fic will make it better. :D
