I found this at
didihime 's LJ and I found it really fun heh heh so I'll do it as well :p
STATE YOUR JE GROUP FANDOM MEME!
1. Who are you?
Israfel84, Israfel is arabic for Rafael, my RL name :p
2. Nice name. Let's start with your main fandom... Name of the group/band? (with pics if possible: limit to 3)
TOKIO!!
3. Ok. Who is who in the group/band? (with pic if possible: 1 pic per person)
Nagase Tomoya aka Nagase
He's the vocalist of the band, and plays the guitar (harmony) as well. He originally was a support member of the band because they already had another vocalist but he left and they put Nagase in charge. He's also an actor and has appeared in many doramas and movies and he's so much awesomeness *0*
Taichi Kokubun aka Taichi
He plays the keyboards/piano. He also appears in tons of cooking / eating TV shows XD and also he has a very charming smile one can't stop staring at O_O I swear it!! He is also very enthusiast and usually does tons of jokes to the other members and plays along with Nagase with their crazy things XDDDDD
Tatsuya Yamaguchi aka Gussan
He plays the bass. He also has appeared in doramas and movies and was one of the former members of the band. He loves surfing and sports. You can see him wearing tank tops almost all of the time. He is also on of the vocals. He was the seiyuu for Po, the main character of Kung Fu Panda :p
Masahiro Matsuoka aka Mabo
He's the awesome drummer. Personally I love watch him play the drums because he does it in an incredible way (in fact I always wanted to play the drums and keyboard). He also has produced many of the band's PVs. You can immediately recognize him because of his weird hairstyle XD and he also likes to wear dark glasses while playing.
Shigeru Joshima aka Leader
He's the guitarist and he plays it incredibly nice. Maybe had to sacrifice looks for talent XD He is also funny and ppl are always laughing about what he does. He is very good friends with Gussan and they often appear together in CMs
4. How do you become their fan?
LOL It's really weird!! And a kinda long and funny story
Once a friend was "presenting" me Miyuki Nakajima (the author of Sorafune and Honjitsu, Mijukumono) and he shared an album called "Utatabi concert tour 2007". He said that Miyuki's songs are about divorced and angry women and when he shared me that album he asked me to translate titles of songs or check lyrics just to see if those were about divorced XD And as Honjitsu, Mijukumono is included in that album, I noticed it said TOKIO and Miyuki Nakajima, then he told me she had written the song for them, just as she did with Sorafune.
I had read in other pages talking about Sorafune and how popular it was, then I looked for it, listened it and since the beginning I loved it. Then listened to Honjitsu, Mijukumono and I also liked it a lot! So I asked my friends in facebook who had TOKIO singles and one replied and shared me HARVEST album, then I came to LJ looking for TOKIO communities, found
tokioteatime and I also was a 'victim' of
TOKIO Starter kit which made me start loving them XD (OMG Now that I read that again I couldn't agree more with what's written there!)
Then I started downloading stuff and uploaded some at the community mentioned above.
5. So, how long have you been a fan to this group/band?
Hmmm... about 6 months =_= I know it's very few time but I'm already catching up with stuff, scans, magazine cuts, shop pics, etc. :D

10. Which song from this group/band that you think should be use for an anime song? (with sample of the song if possible)
LOTS!!!! I'd thought about this before!! I think Minna de Wahaha! Is very anime-ish XD and I'd include Parasitic plants as an ending :p Also indicator looks like an ending... and Taiyou to Sabaku no bara :p (read below heh heh) Hanauta too XD LOL
Minna de Wahaha!

Parasitic Plants
indicator (don't get fooled by the pic, it's from Honjitsu mijukumono single XD)

Hanauta

11. So, if ever that song(s) could be use in an anime, what anime should it be?
I'd have included Parasitic Plants as an ending for Shojo Kakumei Utena :p
and Minna de Wahaha! hmmm no idea but should have been a funny series... idk Lucky Star XD
Hanauta is very Card Captor Sakura-ish imo
And I know it's crazy but when I listened to Taiyou to Sabaku no bara for the 1st time, I said "OMG THIS SHOULD BE A DIGIMON SONG!!!!" LOLOLOL
12. Other than their song, what are other things that made you fan them?
Their crazy attitudes and their looks heh heh and the very fact that they are friends and they play lots of instruments... you gotta see the recording of SUGAR how they improvised with different instruments OMG
13. Hmm... I see... This group does acting too, right? No? Just name a few of their drama/movie that you know/watch/like
I fail so much on this as I'm too bad at doramas u_u
*For Nagase I know he acted in most doramas like Muko dono, Tiger and dragon, My boss My hero, Utahime, Karei naru spy and Unubore Deka, of which I've only mid-watched My boss and unubore.
I also know he acted in some movies but can't remember the names... door to heaven? u_u and that movie where he played a gay samurai XD
*For Taichi I only recall reading in a scan that he used to act with Gussan in a dorama in his early days as a member of TOKIO
*For Gussan I know he starred a dorama called "Juken no Kamisama" and another called "Dousoukai", and "Hikaru to tomo ni..." but I'm pretty sure he has appeared in more
*For Mabo I only knew he did love love manhattan and yasuko to kenji
*and Leader I'll be sincere idk about him XD well only that series where he looks very "civilized" and where his photo is laughed at in every year's kouhaku XDDDDDDDDDD
14. Ok. Now make some pics spam please.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~~~~!!
Well I don't have much stuff of them together as band but sepparately but idc LOL
15. Wow! Awesome! By the way, do you have any other JE group fandom interest?
Daisempai Matchy. As you may have noticed he's my idol and I live for him LOL
I like Shonentai as well but not at the level as Matchy's or TOKIO's :p
And my friend
yuelnaye has initiated me onto arashi's world heh heh
But honestly, I'm not that much into the rest of JE groups.
16. Finally end this meme with your group/band's vid/clip(s) (Don't say youtube don't have them: limit to 3 vids)
Not PV's??? OK I have some I liked a lot :p
Click to view
I love a lot this one as the lady gets very excited as Nagase chose same option as her and they eat together, and she says something like "it's good to be alive" XDDDDDD
Click to view
This one is pretty hilarious because they ask Leah Dizon about what she likes to eat and if she knows TOKIO's members names. She couldn't name leader and when they asked her who is TOKIO's leader she replied "Nagase" XD
And the other ones were deleted from youtube :(
~~~CONGRATZ YOU HAVE DONE THE MEME!!! *Throws confetti*~~~
Yay!!! I swear I spent all the morning writing!!! LOL
And instead of a meme I'd call it like a mini-pimp post XD
