Continuing with YokoAre shows tidbits. XD

Other than Zoom In, Real Time and ULALA also covered KisuMai con! For ULALA they even showed the media conference and you can actually hear HiroSuke talk! <333 It's funny, lol. XDD Traffic, lol.

I think I mentioned this reporter/writer before? Yamada Mihoko? She was the one who loves Johnnys and interviewed HiroSuke + Tama for Playzone and completely fell in love with KisuMai as a result? XDDD She updated her blog and said she went to watch YokoAre show and also sent KisuMai flowers~ She upped the photo of the flowers to her blog.

Then Oobayashi-san! You know, the volleyball player? She went to watch too! Not to mention...she went to watch with Fumi, Goseki-sama and Hasshi, LOL. 8DDD If I haven't said this before, I'm telling you now, she gets along well with Johnnys, including Juniors. XD She's so sweet ;~; She was like, I cried a lot for Playzone, but for the concerts, I was high in tension, but in the end, I ended up crying and in the dressing room, members were like "You cried again?~" She mentioned something like seeing KisuMai and ABC-Z as a mother would, and lashfasf awwwwww. She also talked about Hiramekin Gold and actually mentioned Juniors that aren't around anymore! L-like Iida ;~; And like, Fujigaya-kyoudai! She didn't say Yuusuke's name, but awwww. She uploaded a picture of the penlight and her ticket. aslja so sweet =(

Then, Popolo and Myojo! Concert reportssssss~ Except apparently that means no regular studio shoots. =( They were busy I guess? Damn, I was hoping concert coverage meant extra pages for KisuMai. >>'' I think the photos they used are pretty nice though, so they're good reports!

Next, not about KisuMai cons, but Kakumei. Apparently, Muraji-kun's papa (Muraji-kun is the Junior who sings those traditional Japanese songs who plays the shamisen - for most recent, think before Koki's Pierrot in BTR the kid who was playing the shamisen, that's him) wrote a song for Kakumei (not sure which one) and he was instructing Hiro on how to...play it the other day!? He complimented Hiro and stuff and said he's a hard worker and all~ He only said he instructed Hiro...but I mean, he plays shamisen...he wrote a song...meaning Hiro will be playing it!? Saa...

Oh, almost forgot. Yamada Mihoko works for Jousei Seven and in her blog entry, she also mentioned that the Jousei Seven that would be released on Christmas Eve will have a small amount of photos from the concert published.

...there was something else that I wanted to say. What was it? I just came up with it a few seconds ago, and now it's gone! D=

Ah! I was going to say that I'll probably translate Oobayashi-san's blog because it really is sweet, and I always like her when she appears on Johnnys' shows. =) Yamada Mihoko's was pretty brief, so nothing much to translate there.

And, and, and OF COURSE KYOUMOTO-PAPA UPDATED HIS BLOG TOO. 8DDD He was being all sweet again and saying how much KisuMai has done this year, and how they were shining and stuff and aljshflajsfa al ;~; KYOUMOTO-PAPA <333 I will translate his entry too! Just the KisuMai parts though because he was talking about sneakers at the beginning of the entry, and briefly mentioned how he had gave Taisuke a pair before. (I thought he gave Taisuke sandals? =O Or both maybe?)

Seriously, all this just shows how much KisuMai is loved not only by their fans, but by their senpai in the entertainment world in general and aljsfhalsjfaf ;~; DEBUT PLEASE otherwise you'll be breaking lots of hearts, Johnny.

For those who follow Tebanasu, I finally finished a new installment! o/ I'll post it up in a bit so look out for that~

Current Music: Kis-My-Ft2 - Tension

First.
【強めに抱いて】 (Hug me tightly)
【キスの後はなにしたいの？】 (What do you want to do after kissing?)
Passive/M and ero. GAP. THIS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MANY REASONS I LOVE TAISUKE LOL

For Miyagee, they had to say like um, pick-up lines I guess, that starts with various syllables, and for one show it was 'tsu', the other was 'ki' and another was 'ni'. For tsu, Taisuke said the hug one, and Miyacchi was like oh, Taipi, you're a M, LOL. For Tama, for tsu, he was like, if you go out with me, I'll give you 50000yen, ROFL. Everyone died and Taisuke was like, Tama, money is no good!

For 'ki' LOL EROOOOOOOO. Miyacchi was like, it's Erogaya and Hiro was like, Chomesuke! (Chome or well, chomechome is basically 'bleep' You know, censoring certain words //coughs// XD) So haha, Taisuke's new name is Erogaya Chomesuke!? XDDD ...maa, if you didn't know anything, Chomesuke might sound cute? Lol.

Oh, for 'ni', Taisuke said 【ニャンニャンしたい】 where nyan nyan means making out or...//coughs// XDD;; Nika said he likes nira which is chives, LOL. No one understood it but according to Nika, he was like, who said it was a pick up line towards girls? It's a pick-up line towards chives, ROFL.

I couldn't stalk Japanese TV the whole time today, but I did manage to catch KisuMai on Zoom In! YAAAYYYY Lots of Tama, quite a bit of Nika, not enough of everyone else DDD= Mainly group shots, and like, the news part was shortttt. It couldn't have been longer than a minute or so. Everything was concert footage, and none of the conference that they did on stage. And of course they get compared to Hikaru Genji, and they explained KisuMai's name being initials and how they were formed 4 years ago. Despite being Juniors, they had their own concerts, and had an audience of 15000 people at YokoAre.

I even watched Sukkiri to see if they would show KisuMai, but Sukkiri only covered Kouhaku stuff, so Arashi, Oricon charts, and stuff like that. I was watching at work, so I could only concentrate so much.

On the other hand, many sports newspapers covered KisuMai! The photo they used are all pretty similar since the conference was done on stage, but basically KisuMai in their pink Tension costumes and on that special set with the poles. Nikkan Sports, Daily Sports, Sports Hochi, SupoNichi, ChuuNichi, all had coverage on KisuMai. There was one more that had coverage on KisuMai, but had no photo, only article. Nikkan had the biggest spread I think? Still not that big though...about 1/4 of a page maybe?

The articles mentioned various things, like how KisuMai declared they will surpass Hikaru Genji, how the next year, they want to CD debut...Hiro said something about wanting to debut, but the rest is up to Johnny...mh, one article said how KisuMai had 160000 people as their audience in total...various things, so yea.

JOHNNY DO YOU HEAR? THEY WANT TO DEBUT.

I went to watch Nodame Cantabile movie yesterday :D I haven't gone to the theaters for more than half a year ever since Yatterman xDDDD *kicks research*

As expected, it was different watching Nodame in a theater because the sound of the orchestra came out much better compared to my laptop or TV xD

On a side note, Chiaki-senpai is awesome ♥ ♥ ♥
Of course the movie is crack as always! But there was a part of the movie where it tells how the members of the orchestra are practicing hard every day despite their real life routines and work. I found that part very touching ♥



The last part of Nodame movie will come out next April... I wonder whether I will get to watch it at theaters again. I have been missing too many movies :(

Christmas comes soon. Same as last year, I have classes on Christmas eve xD But this year I'm going to cook for a bunch of friends. I hope they come out delicious... And I hope, less random people come to our dinner since I don't want to spend my christmas with strangers D: Let's see...

今日のお昼はエビフライ&ご飯。タルタルソースは無いから、適当にオリジナルソースを作りました。マヨとシーフードソースとケチャップで(笑)。こういう揚げ物を食べる時、白いご飯はあまり好きじゃないから、照り焼きソースをちょっと。

Yes, I know tartar sauce is usually white, but shush, I had nothing but mayo in the fridge and I wasn't going to boil an egg just to make the sauce. Seafood sauce and ketchup is kind of tangy, so it was supposed to serve the purpose of the lemon juice in regular tartar sauce, lol. And well, deep fried shrimp is seafood so, uh, seafood sauce? XDD;; Don't mind me and my weird creations when it comes to food.

And my gift fic from JeHols has been posted! If you like Ryo/Kame or interested in reading, you really should read it here! It's really good and I think the characterization and all is like dead on, and like, it's like ;~; aww aslfkasf ♥♥♥ kind of fic, so go read!

...=O Is it me, or it's like, my first time pimping a fic? Or I just don't do it often enough.

Oh, I was reading comments on the setlist of HSJ concert, and kind of laughing over here, because like...still no one realizes that Yabu will be in NONE of the shows except for like 4 of the days in Yokohama? I think it was like, 50% of the shows, 7 out of 14. He won't be even there for the last show. Okay, fine, maybe a bit mean (for laughing), but still. >>''

I was going to translate an old article from like, 2004, but then rereading the article, I don't feel like translating it yet, so I decided to do a recent one instead, since Tono updated his J-web and said they were starting rehearsals for Kakumei tomorrow (today). .____. Yes, I know they've done Kakumei this year, and there probably aren't too many major changes so perhaps lots of rehearsal time isn't needed, but still, two weeks before the show begins!? At least I'm sure they did just plain reading rehearsals and individual rehearsals, and I think they're starting with proper, full out rehearsals now... I seriously worry for KisuMai >>'' And like, apparently Tono used quite a few sweatdrop emoticons in his entry, so that's not very reassuring...

Anyways, yes, translation. Members talk about both the upcoming Kakumeis and reflected on the previous Kakumei and what roles they played, what they learned etc. As an extra bit, each member also talked about any fixations they have in regards to interior (their rooms).

( I couldn't really throw the harpoon very well. I was told the whole time for a month 'You, your way of throwing is disgusting'. )

Yosh, I scanned that last magazine I planned to scan, now I just have to organize everything =v= You all will be able to see what I was doing sometime soon...?

Next, I really should go back to writing fics. Otherwise, I won't be able to get even one fic out before Christmas, especially those who gave me requests. >>'' That and make more graphics. I was going to make more icons today...but obviously didn't =|

Anyways, other than scanning, I did one translation! Because like, contributions are needed on days of KisuMai con as usual~

I haven't translated a Popolo article in ages. =O ...more like, this is my second one, LOL. My last Popolo translation was like, my first one? XDDD;; How amusing.

Translation. Members try to figure out the perfect type of lover for each other and as a result, is giving advice to readers as to how to be the perfect lover for KisuMai members!? Members also talk about what they've been up to lately (when the interview was done) and picked their No.1 Love Song (and I was awesome and gave you all YouTube links to the songs, just in case you've never heard of some of them before).

( How about someone who has motherly love and can accept Senga who's naturally prone to silly mistakes? )

Winter break! For real now! =v=

So yes, today was my last day teaching this year~ I'll be going back to the school in January, but it'll be back to one day per week only since I have classes. Maybe having finished teaching just had me really relaxed or relieved, but I literally took like, 4 naps today in my chair, drifting off and stuff. No fake yo. //whacked// The moment I got back home since I was sleeping in the car, I kind of just walked into the house half asleep, sat down on my chair, turned on my computer, and drifted off and slept for an hour. 8D;; Then, after dinner, apparently I kind of drifted off for some time because Kira messaged me and I didn't reply immediately, even though I thought I wasn't sleeping...

Then, I was drifting off again at about 8 something, and was out until 10 something. Then at like, almost 11, I drifted off again and didn't wake up until past midnight, almost 1. 8D;;;

I'm going to miss my students =( When I go back January, I only have one more day with them really because the week after, I'm going on a field trip with a different class, and the two weeks after, I have to visit an elementary school. The semester then changes, and I'll be teaching completely new classes in February.

They're such nice kids really. It's weird how I seem to get along best with the Gr.12 class (obviously because we're closer in age, and the class is smaller, and I enjoy interacting with them) and the Gr.10 class (perhaps because some do need more attention so I've been giving some one-on-one attention to some, and some are just good students in general, so they're easy to interact with), but it's the Gr.11 class that I would place as last...it's not like it's a bad class, but I don't know, I don't interact with students in this class as much.

I was talking to a few students today about not coming tomorrow, and how they'll only see me one more day unless they drop by the art department in second semester, and they told me how I'll be a good teacher and that they'll miss me. >< Awww. One of the Gr.12s wanted to add me on MSN, lol. Not that I can give it to me while he's still my student though. Maybe later X3

Anyways, so yes, I drifted off to sleep a lot today, so obviously I didn't get any translation done.

Sharing scans instead.

A.B.C-Z sets and remaining MSM sets from the Junior con in August of this year. Also Enbujou '06 postcards for EbiKisu and miscellaneous young!Taisuke, young!Wataru, and young!Hiro shop photos. Also, one live photo of Hiro from Daibouken'06 as part of Kity. 300dpi.

( I is not extremely biased really, therefore KisuMai is last )

Why am I posting again? =v=;;

Pffft, anyways, I wanted to keep this separate from my previous post, so please forgive the spam.

You know that new year show that HiroSuke + Tama is appearing in? Well, there's a picture of the script out there...and...HIRO IS LISTED AS MC!!! =O Taisuke's and Tama's names aren't on the script cover D= Will they appear in the studio? Or they just went on outdoor recordings instead, meaning the three don't actually appear together?

But um, yes, Chin-san and Tazaki-san from HnS will be showing up. Hokuto Akira is guest, and that's where the script photo comes from - her blog here. Mh...well, Hikaru's and Daiki's names aren't on there either, so maybe their roles were mainly for outdoor recordings so they weren't listed properly on the cover? Meh, we won't know until it airs. =(

And it seems like there's no Hyakushiki special this year, damn. The Tsukiji episode is the last one of the year, and the next one will air January 5th.

For promotion of Snow Prince, they built a mini Tokyo Tower like thing at TV Asahi, lol. It lights up and all. Just in case people were interested in knowing. XD;

Mh, do I have anymore fandom news... I think that's it for now.

Sleep time. Really. =v=;;

I did Christmas baking today! =v=

I didn't know what to bake though, so my mom ended up helping me choose the recipes and somehow, I ended up baking three types of different cookies, one batch per kind, totalling about 120 cookies, lol. Oatmeal lacies, oatmeal maple cookies (the original recipe was actually honey, but my mom gave me maple syrup instead lol), and a cinnamon variation of a basic cookie recipe which my sister found on the Internet a few days ago and said they were Christmas cookies, lol.

The lacies turned out quite sweet and I followed the recipe, so next time, if I make them again, less sugar. The oatmeal maple cookies were less sweet, but that one I definitely used less sugar than the recipe called for already, so if I followed the recipe, then definitely even sweeter. The so-called Christmas cookies were quite sweet as well, and the butter, quite oily and that was a bit less than required as well. 8D; They also spread quite a bit, so it's not chewy cookies, but more snappish and crunchy? I don't know. My mom shaped the cookies while I was doing other stuff, so next time, the dough shouldn't be flattened so much so they don't turn out so cripsy. //likes her baked goods more on the chewy side//

Anyways, bringing cookies to school tomorrow to share with my students! Also wrapped some up as a small present to my mentor teacher and the other two teachers in the department. Oh, and helped my sister wrap one up for her teacher as well. Used to wrapping up cookies (first in aluminum foil, then in tissue paper and make pretty, then tie with ribbon) just because you should have seen the amount I tie up in high school for friends that I know well enough but not close enough to actually spend money on. That and boys. I don't buy presents for my male friends, so I gave them cookies. I used to have to wrap over 20 packs of cookies in a night, after I finish baking at like 11 something at night, lol. Haven't done much of that since I entered university though since I'd be already out of uni by the beginning of December with the semester ending. That and I'm such a loner in university. =v=;;

I just have one more magazine to scan tomorrow so I'd be finish the project I set up for myself to do over the break. Then, I also have to do a translation for tomorrow since YokoAre shows are starting!

By the way, we has visual proof of Taisuke helping Jin massage his legs! I demand fic. Not that anyone listens to me about these things, lol. =|
