Diru and babies and dating

Random title, I know. *pats self on back*

Dir en grey’s new single ‘Hageshisa to, Kono Mune no Naka de Karamitsuita Shakunetsu no Yami’ is out today! I’m not warming up to the death metal-ish title song yet but the remade/remastered ‘Zan‘ and ‘Shokubeni‘ versions are awe-fucking-some. ‘Zan’ was one of the two Diru songs that first got me into listening to J-metal back in 1999 while ‘Shokubeni’ also happens to be a fave from their Vulgar album (2003). Although I’m no big fan of Kyo’s growling ever since Withering to Death but these two oldies have made an exception. This move to revolutionise their classic hits deserves two thumbs up! :)
Anyway, I was googling for updates on Inocchi and Asaka Seto’s upcoming baby when I read the below and facepalmed myself for not knowing any sooner. Guh.

Aya Ueto? Eew. But yay for Aoi Yuu! I like her.

Seto Asaka is Expecting; Reporters Swarm Inohara Yoshihiko in Taiwan (Posted 19 September 2009)

Japanese idol group V6 were in Taiwan yesterday to promote their upcoming concerts in November. However, all the attention was on Inohara Yoshihiko as he had announced earlier that his wife, actress Seto Asaka, is pregnant. Reporters were keen on asking Inohara his impressions on becoming a father, but Inohara decided to play dumb, only quietly thanking the reporters before changing the topic and asking them back in Taiwanese whether they’ve eaten yet. When asked whether his luck in love has transmitted to other members, specifically hinting at Morita Go, who’s been in a long term relationship with ‘Abarenbo Mama’ actress Ueto Aya, and Okada Junichi, who is dating ‘Hana and Alice’ actress Aoi Yuu, Inohara only laughed as his glanced at his bandmates. Everyone else avoided the question and did not answer.


I’m falling…

*sings Koichi’s song* “… falling in love with you.”

Sorry, Tsuyo. Your new songs are a tad too oyaji-ish for me lately (I miss Endlicheri!)

After dozens of listening to Koichi’s BPM Tour (short for ‘Best Performance and Music’), I have decided to buy the DVD if he ever releases it. His sexy tunes are definitely not your run-of-the-mill KinKi Kids style but it suits him perfectly like a sarung nangka baluts a… well, nangka of course.

I’m starting to appreciate his music more after noting how awesome he sings solo LIVE. Studio recordings doesn’t do him justice. Which is basically why I fell 100% for him from the Endless Shock musical, ne?

Besides, I’d love to watch cameos by Tsubasa (who came onstage) or Yara and Johnny-san (who stayed backstage). Oh please please please.

A summary of the week:

  • Inocchi is going to be a papa soon! Omedetou~
  • Tsuyo’s new show 24CHANNEL offers lots of cuteness to glomp on. Doesn’t even reach 20 mins so I wonder what his ‘100 Things Tsuyoshi Wants To Achieve’ would be?
  • Chemical Pictures’ single is out for leeching. Heheh. Sorry, JImi. I promise to buy your first album.
  • Watch Oguri and Mizushima on Domoto Kyodai (subbed by newshfan). If only to lol at the fans for kyaa-ing at a KinKi Kids Love moment. Have I mentioned that I LOVE it when KinKi fans unanimously go “KYAA~”?
  • Stressful week. Even more stress coming. As if we’re not understaffed yet. Pfft.
  • Oh, our Japan Muslim Package thingy is cancelled. Like, BOO!! We’ve been shoved around by 2 agencies, so we’ll just go ahead with the free and easy option. Tak sempat nak wait for other packages.

I seeeeriously don’t know why it’s so bloody fucking hard to get a vacation?


Dawning Realisation

I feel heartbroken eventhough at times I’m very aware when I pretend that I’m not *sighs* It’s no longer a mystery, the ‘KinKi Kids Love’ (KKL) relationship.

I guess I made a good decision by reading their zodiac compatibility before I became enamoured by the razz ‘n dazzle. Summarily, the bond between an Aries (Tsuyoshi the Ram) and a Capricorn (Koichi the Goat) brings lush promise for a successful career but personal rifts between these two opposite figures are aplenty. Oh but I’m not saying I don’t trust their companionship — BOO to all you nonbeliever fans who think they’re putting up an act! In fact I truly believe they are fated together. Strictly in terms of work, of course.

Whoa… who knew that that infamous Johnny’s Special episode of Domoto Tsuyoshi no Shoujiki Shindoi from 2004 could affect me this much. *wipes ’sweat’ from my eyes*

Yet I’m glad I did watch that rascal Tsuyoshi (I say this in a non-condemning way) make a fool out of himself and annoy others on his own show. Worrying over internal ties among V6 and KinKi Kids doesn’t help my stress, ne?

One good thing came out of it: a growing respect for Okada’s loyalty. ♥

Plus, a firm decision to not overthink about Tsuyo’s craziness and Sakamoto’s scariness.

And so out of sheer boredom and a need to calm my nerves, I came up with a new friendster profile layout to replace the 3 month old Shinhwa Anniversary background. Wow! I finally reached the main point of this post!

Behold, the blue and grey representing my worry. That damn control panel css won’t be tweaked no matter what I do so ape2 je lah.


Sleepless Nights

I definitely owe Roy (スゲぇよ! (≧∇≦ ) 本当にありがとう!) his due of chocolates, big time. Thanks to Ah Roy, I now suddenly have 20 Gigabytes of KinKi Kids’: shounen ai, complete PVs, mostly complete discography including solo stints, Font de Anniversary concert which I’ve snailpaced-ly been downloading from CB, random episodes of unsubbed Domoto Kyodai, random performances and even random interviews. Mwaaahahahaha.

There’s also another 20 Gigs containing spews and spews of yaoi random SMAP, TOKIO, V6, Arashi, Tackey & Tsubasa, NEWS, Kanjani8, Hey!Say!Jump and KAT-TUN. Notice the order? :P
After robbing his Johnny’s Entertainment collection off his HDD, I even snuck out some B’z albums for twinnie. Shhh!

So now I’m spacing out at the list of videos and albums trying to organise an orderly categorisation of what AND WHO I should first watch and listen to. And woah am I failing or whuuut… If only I could take days weeks a month off work to finish all these up.

ZZZ-less sleepovers, anyone?
