Long time no see
Since it's my annual leave, let's update this poor journal! A lot of things happened in fandom lately: awesome moments and also sad news.
Nakai:
My respect for him is multiplied by 1000000000000. He had very hard moments but he never let it show, kept working with the same quality and quantity as usual and kept thinking about smap, the fans and everyone else. The good thing is that he quit smoking doesn't smoke anymore.
Listening to his radio, somehow I found in myself the power to decide that I should finally quit some bad habits, well, maybe not exactly "bad" but they are habits that I want to quit in order to use my time into something more useful. I'll do my best!
Releases:
I've been checking J&A albums as usual. My favourites until now are Kisumai's and ABC-Z. I checked the bonus videos for Kisumai too and that made me like them more. You could see their dynamics and their hard work to create something interesting and fill up their roles in the group. I know that a certain senpai will brainwash me into becoming their fan one of those days, so better start to like them from now, lol.
We had also Dots' "TU" album. I admit that I liked shamanippon 1st and 2nd albums more. But TU had great tracks too.
Now I'm looking forward to Koichi's new album. There's also the V6 anniversary album, I think I'll take the chance to find more about their music. I guess we will also have Kanjani, Arashi and KAT-TUN albums in the second part of the year. And let's pray for a Kinki album and TOKIO album.
Drama:
I watched Zeni no sensou and I'm Home. They're both great. I've been also marathoning some old smap dramas.
I checked the first episode of Death Note drama and burst out laughing from the very first scene. The changes they made are totally ridiculous. I'll probably watch more just for the lulz.
Other stuff I'm looking forward to:
- next week's smapxsmap special
- 27 hrtv with smap vs mechaike part 2
- Lohas "ichiban janakute..." show. I'm very happy they did another episode
- Praying for a Burst! dvd
