NP1: Jin Akanishi no "Kimi wo omou toki"
NP2: Junnosuke Taguchi no "Jounetsu no hito yoru"
NP3: Tsubasa Imai no "Nurete Rainy Day"

WHAT DID I DO FOR THE WEEKEND?
Saturday was a drag. Didn't do anything in particular. In the end I still ended up chatting crazily with Cecil. Drooling over those boys... (yeah, you know who I'm talking about). PISSED OFF AT SOME VERY ANNOYING THINGS. Had a late dinner and felt full of it. Didn't get to sleep much. Yet again, I find myself in front of the TV to watch the Shokura recording. Started learning the moves of Nurete. Followed mostly Tsubasa, Yamapi and Kazapon (this is from Sugao 3, mind you). I still don't understand the turns, but I got the gist of the hand moves.

Today I went with the whole family to two malls. Everyone who knows me should also know which I malls I went to. Well, most definitely I went to those two that had Kinokuniya. Then I met up with yet another online friend at the second mall, the one nearer to my house (comparatively speaking). We chatted and exchaged stories in Starbucks (where else, where else?! =P) Oh and Cecil asked me to go there again tomorrow! Okay, so I might as well get my stuff and move in to that mall since I go there so often. *laugh*
After I went home, I recorded some videos, watched Musashi on NHK for only half an hour (I couldn't stand the sleepiness that has been attacking me since noon), slept and here I am now in front of the computer with half open eyes.

BOYS TALK
Yamapi is so cute. ^_^ I like him now. This time I have no one else to blame except for myself (I can blame Cecil for making me like Hina-chan. =P) Ever since I made that Johnny's Jr. fanfic and made him the charge of Ami Inaba (^_^) I was drawn more and more into his character. Yesterday while I was writing this "touching" scene between the two of them, I suddenly sympathized a lot of Yamapi's character and regretted I ever disliked him in reality. So I opened all the magazines that I have that featured him inside (and that means A LOT) and looked at his picture. The next thing I knew, I was hugging the magazine and apologizing for all the bad things I said about Yamapi (in real life and in the fic). Muahahahaha... okay, that was pretty stupid. But, hey! =P Can't help it!
"GOMEN, NE, PI-CHAN!"
I think this can last as long as he doesn't have anything to do with any of the KATTUN members in ShoKura. No matter what, I still like KATTUN above all the others in Johnny's Jr.
*RABID KATTUN FAN MODE ON*
This is probably why I can't stop singing to Jin and Junno's solo songs. Kuchibiru no akai sunlight... When we are turning in the wind (get together)... oh, and TatsUeda's solo... I can't remember how the song goes.

Lastly, to all those people whose email I haven't replied... SORRY! Very sorry! I'll reply as soon as possible. It's just that I have this project (which I can't really explain now what it is exactly) and I have a very short deadline!
Suppose now I will go back to that project...

There's the tagboard there...
But it's not really neat yet... so I'll just wait for Fi-chan to make it good later. I just had to do something first because my mail inbox is flooded by emails that want to say something about the blog. I need to save every single space I can have in the email so if there's anything you'd like to say about the blog, use the Tag Board.
Mata ne!

Adding a KATTUN gossip to the many rumors that have already been flying around so far...
THEIR CONVERT VIDEO IS GOING TO OFFICIALLY RELEASED BY SONY IN FEBRUARY!
I found out about it from a BBS (Jenn's!) and I was so excited that I almost fell over the chair! This is so wonderful!!! For now, I really don't care if KATTUN doesn't debut this year, but I just want to have their concert video. If someone asks me at this moment, "What thing do you desire the most in this world?" I would answer, "KATTUN's 1st concert video."
(Of course I also wouldn't mind T&T's concert DVD/VCD, or any of SMAP's concert DVD/VCDs, but seriously... KATTUN!!!)
Otanoshimi!!!

Ahhh, I'm falling more and more in love with the group everyday that passes by (ick, sounds too poetic! =P LOL!)
At first I liked Kame the most, after that comes Jin. The feeling wavered after a while because the ever-so-sweet-and-cute Junnosuke appeared in my eyes. ^_^ I got to notice TatsUeda too because he's almost always with Junno in pictures. I came to like him as well (also because of the Tsubasa thing). Junno is still no. 1... but I can't help not liking ALL OF THEM IN ONE GROUP!!!
Right now, I'm developing a strong liking for Kouki Tanaka.
He is just so cute in Neverland, and I really, really like him when he pairs up with Yuichi Nakamaru for their comedy thing of theirs.
"Daaaan!"
(Jamapee better watch out. If he doesn't give the ousama to them the next time I watch Shokura, I'm going to catch him and lock him in my refrigerator. LOL! =P Kust Jidding, of course!!! ^_^ He's my BROTHER! How could I be so cruel to him?!)
Tonikaku...
Okichan (this is how I call Kouki now) looks similar to Oshio Manabu, and Go Morita. Those jaws. They look tough. That's why I'm making them brothers. Okichan's going to be the youngest and the sweetest. He's going to be the baby of the family. Everyone pets him. Ooooh... ^_^ So Sweet!

Oh, but this doesn't mean I've forgotten about Takki-chan. I still remember him, all right. I just don't talk about him that much anymore because a lot of people have talked about him. So, no need to add one more to the virtual world, person like me here - who goes crazy just by a GLANCE at his picture in a magazine.
Now, isn't everyone glad I've stopped talking about Takki?
*answers from everywhere* "NOW IF ONLY SHE CAN STOP TALKING ABOUT JUNNO AND KATTUN!"
This, my friends, is still NOT POSSIBLE. *evil laugh*
KATTUN, KATTUN, KATTUN...
Do you see the picture up there? Yes up there, see those six guys? Me, the people who comes here, and everyone else in my life are going to be stuck with them for the next few weeks, months, years and decades.
SCARED?!
Hey, even *I* am scared. ^^;;;

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2003!!!

AMI-CHAN'S 2002 YEAR IN REVIEW
It's been an exciting and wonderful year.
I started 2002 in Italy, doing "corso avanzato di lingua italiana" in Universita per Stranieri di Siena. I completed the course with good grades, and I made a film with my wonderful classmates there. I met a lot of people, made a lot of friends and gained a lot of experiences. I thought, "what a great way to start a year!

When I came back home to Indonesia, I thought I was going to have less fun... but it turned out to be that here, it has also been a fun year. I began to study Japanese seriously, I worked more for the magazines, and I made more friends than I could ever imagine (those funky Mubesu girls, also the others from the KG forum!)

If there was one bad thing I could mention from last year, it was that I adopted a new OBSSSESSION. A crazy one, that is, and that's called "JOHNNY'S". I'm mad about them. Spent a lot of money to buy many things about them, and I could hardly think of anything else. The really bad thing about it is: I ENJOY IT! Oh well, I suppose this is not entirely a bad thing. I mean, I know some others more obssessed with them more than I am... so, I'm not alone. ;)

Of all the friendship and things that I gained this year, unfortunately two of them had to go away. Bradley Michael Whipple, affectionately known as Michele, who was my friend in Siena, died of car accident. Yesterday, I discovered that my Al-Qur'an teacher, Mr. Syarif, had also died in a car accident, just a few days after Idul Fitri. May their soul rest in peace.

Another major tragedy is losing my friendship to the people that used to mean a lot to me. For Naura and Teo, I'd just like to say that of all the people who hurt me this year, the two of you hurt me the most. I never regretted meeting you, though, but I really regret that you changed so much that we could never become friends. You both threw away our friendship because of your childishness and your stubbornness. I hope it didn't have to happen this way between us but it did and I'm very sorry for it. I hope you two are making the same review for your own 2002, and I hope you realize the reasons for the loss of our friendship.

All in all, however, 2002 was a year full of fun and excitement. Of course I could not avoid the sad parts, for the most part, I was a truly, happy girl last year. Hope that this happiness can continue until next year!

For all of you out there: KEEP UP THE FIGHTING SPIRIT! HOPE FOR THE BEST! HAVE ANOTHER GREAT YEAR IN 2003!!!

AMI-CHAN'S NEW YEAR EVE
It was a big celebration at my house, unlike the few previous years. We had a barbeque party at home. A lot of people came. My uncles, aunts, cousins, my mom's closest friends from the office (all Chief Editors)... Fara (Mubesu) came as well. Her New Year's Eve plan was canceled and she turned out to spend it with me. We watched the 53rd Kouhaku Utagassen on NHK (we had tons of laughter because some parts were really funny and ridiculous!), my Shounen Club recording, and Sugao 3 Concert VCD.
At midnight, my uncle played the song, "Dancing Queen" and another uncle sang the song. Everyone danced in the living room. I just stayed on a corner, not joining everyone else to dance, but Fara and I were mimicking the silly dance moves of the Johnny's Jr. members on Shounen Club (like Hina and Yoko's silly robotic dance, Ryo Nishikido's "drunken-man" dance, Subaru's chicken/duck dance, Nakamaru and Kame's silly dancing on the background while Jimmy and Jamapee were talking at the start of Shokura Kanjani Special, Kazapon and KK Kity's wipe-the-window dance... okay, so they dance in a silly way at the Shounen Club!!! ^^;;;)
Another highlight of the evening... THE FOOD!!! I couldn't almost finish that big, big rib meat! >_< Kyaaaa... so full!!! Not mentioning there were steak, large sausages, pasta salad, shrimp salad... gah! When you see the food there yesterday, you could just faint! The most amazing thing is: THEY WERE ALL FINISHED BY THE END OF THE PARTY! Doh... everyone ate a lot! There were also many bottles of champagne, wine and lots of cans of soft drink (these things we never usually have in our house).
Yappari... TANOSHIKATTA! Ureshii yo... ^_^

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION
-Finish the Johnny's Jr. fic
-Get cracking on the film script
-Find something else to do besides Japanese course!
-Quit this insomnia-like habit of not sleeping for days
-Continue to love Takki and Junno

CHEERS!

This blog is property of The Tomatoe, a.k.a. Ami-chan (Amichi), whose real name is Amanda, born 18 September 1982.
However, Tomatoe is not so good with Photoshop thingies, so she always troubles her best friend since elementary school, The Flower for layout. (GOMEN!)
So, The Tomatoe is very grateful to The Flower. ^_^ Arigatou.
Tomatoe's current hobby is to record and watch over and over again The Shounen Club, this NHK show where it features the cute bishounens of the Johnny's Jr. and collect expensive Japanese magazines (bad, bad Tomatoe! *smacks herself*) out of mere obssession for Tomatoe's "love of her life", Hideaki Takizawa, Tomatoe's brothers Naohito Fujiki and Junnosuke Taguchi. Well, she also does it out of habit. ^^;;; Tomatoe is, after all, a habitual person. (is there such word?? "Habitual"?? ^^;;;;;;; Whatever...)
Tomatoe also loves to scan for pictures out of her magazines and WRITE MANY, MANY STORIES... which in the end are left unfinished and make Tomatoe's friends furious.

KATTUN!
KAT-TUN is a Johnny's Jr. group, with Kamenashi Kazuya, Akanishi Jin, Taguchi Junnosuke, Tanaka Koki, Ueda Tatsuya and Nakamaru Yuichi as members.

(Picture taken from Wink Up 11/2002)

Their names is meant to sound close to the word "cartoon", while it's also the acronyms of the first letters of their surnames.
They are one of the most popular Johnny's Jr. groups, and rumor has it they might even debut on August 2003 (still not sure if this is true or not).
KAT-TUN is the only Johnny's Jr. group at present who has already held their own SOLO concert (meaning: they were the main stars of the concert; not a joint concert with the other Juniors although many danced with them, of course) and they have their original song already, "Love or Like.
The lead singers are Jin and Kame (Tomatoe thinks Jin's voice is the best, while Kame's... err... better Junno or Yuichi than Kame... ^^;;;), Koki raps, and the rest fills the backing vocals. On the whole, KAT-TUN sounds best when they all sing together!!! ^_^
Tomatoe likes everyone in KAT-TUN... but, she just adores and is affectionate towards Junnosuke because Junno-chan is sooooo cute and sweet.

Tomatoe's favorites of the male species:
-Naohito Fujiki
-Kang Ta
-Hideaki Takizawa
-Tsubasa Imai
-Satoshi Ohno (Arashi)
-Junnosuke Taguchi (KAT-TUN)
