Byouki da. >_<

I'm sick. This damn period cramps and digestion problems... I think I prefer runny nose and cough now instead of stomach ailment.
My mom thinks I'm stressed. Maybe I am. Perhaps this is due to not having watched Shokura for over than a week already. Or maybe I just hate a certain someone so much that I become sick thinking about it. Or maybe... it's just something I ate. Boh. I dunno. In this situation right now I can't even make myself feel happy over the two brand new magazines that I just got today. Can't even smile even when my bishies are looking extremely cute and handsome in those magazines. I just want to tear the pages apart because of this pain!!! >_<
Euthanasia, QUICK!!! SOMEONE!!!

Oh well hope this will only be for a day or two. I'm staying away from the blog for a day or two, that's for sure. I have a lot of DVDs to watch, and magazines to read, and fics to write, and videos to record. Hmmm, maybe a day or two won't be enough. Should I make it three days? Besides, I'm waiting for a new layout. So, this might be seen something as another GOODBYE SPECIAL.
Whatever it is... I hope everyone will be well, AT LEAST BETTER THAN I AM RIGHT NOW.

GOODBYE!

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday Ami-chan slept at 11 p.m. and woke up today at 5 a.m.!!!

Very, very good progress for Ami-chan's sleeping habit. ^_^ Let's hope we can continue... ^_^ Yatta!!!

Saturday, February 8, 2003, 09:22 p.m.

Kyou wa tanoshikatta. ^_^

First things first... I finally got PERSON magazine, Feb '03 issue, which is so late already. >_< GAG. I really hate it. Gah. I really have to find someone to go to Singapore A.S.A.P. Doh.
Anyway, the cover is Kouichi Domoto and inside there's a feature article on 4 Tops (the real reason why I wanted to buy the magazine). Unfortunately, it isn't Yamapi who look sexy tehre. ^^;; It's... HASEJUN.
...........
Nope. You didn't really read it wrongly there. Seriously.
HASEGAWA JUN in PERSON Feb '03 issue is very sexy.
Such a cute boy like him can look as sexy as that. I wonder how. ^^;;;
Oh, there are also one page each for Ken Miyake and Hiroshi Nagano of V6. Waaaa... very cute pictures. Yellow and bright. ^_^ They both look like brothers. And we all know Miken really looks boyish most of the time. Well, this one... waaa... very kawaii!!! Like a teenager!! (And he's supposed to be older than Okada). =P

Okay, now, my adventure for today...
I call it...

AMI-CHAN'S SATURDAY PHOTO STORY WITH PUTERI, POPPY AND SARAS!

FYI: Puteri's my friend from Uniprep and Poppy and Saras are from JakArt. Ardy was supposed to come too but he had to work today, so there were just only four of us girls. We are planning to enter Puteri on the Pemilihan Wajah Femina by Femina magazine. Of course, Poppy, Saras, Ardy and I are the excited ones because we are planning to become her managerial staff if she does get to be a finalist. ^_^ Hehehehehe... (hey, we're realistic here!!! We don't have the thing to be artists, but we surely can be managers... =P)

I arrived at Plaza Indonesia, our meeting venue as planned, almost at one o'clock. Poppy had just finished her workshop/seminar (??) about communication skills, which was held by the company she works for (hanyawanita.com). As it turned out to be - WE DIDN'T PLAN IT AT ALL - I was wearing the same dress code as the comittee of that seminar!! BLACK TOP!! Poppy and I were even wearing almost the exact same thing... black, long-sleeve top with blue jeans. Heheheheh... =P Seriously, I was surprised. Bikkuri shita!

Puteri and Saras came later, after I had gone to Kinokuniya, bugged the person there and bought my Person magazine. And what do you know?! SARAS WAS WEARING BLACK AND JEANS TOO!!! Only Puteri was wearing white (that, of course, we told her to wear something white... she even bought a new white shirt for the photo session's purposes!!! =P Hehehehehe...) I was joking, "Well, you know, Poet, you're going to be the artist. We're going to be your managerial staff. So we have to be in uniform. So you have look special." Huahahahahaha...

We first decided to go to Roxy and try out a photo studio, KING FOTO, recommended by Poppy's photographer friend. But it was too expensive and definitely not suitable for the kind of picture that we wanted to take for Puteri. So, after making our long way there, we headed to Blok M Plaza and took the picture in a studio there (I don't know the name of that studio!), which is more suitable for the style we wanted for Puteri and less expensive.

The photo session went well. Eh, but, I'm not sure if the photographer was really happy with us. Maybe he wanted to strangle us, because we kept telling him to wait and we were so fussy about Puteri's style. ^^;;; But in general it went well. Puteri was so pretty. ^_^ She wore her white new shirt and a black skirt, which look so feminine on her. I think this style makes her look quite conservative, compared to how girls usually dress up when they send their photos for a modeling contest, but this style suits Puteri and she looks very natural. I was so excited and happy playing Barbie on her hair. Hehehehehe...
PUTERI, LET ME PLAY WITH YOUR HAIR AGAIN!!! (She will be freaked out if she reads this! Huehehehehehe... =P)
In the end it wasn't only her whose pic was taken. We also had our pictures taken. (Poppy's idea!!! =P) Yeah, so even now Puteri's future managers can have their own portfolio. Yee-ha!!! =D Hehehehe...

What was fun during the whole trip (first to Roxy and from Roxy to Blok M) was our gossiping and chatting and fantisizing in the car. We were gossiping about the local Indonesian artists, we dreamed about how it would be when Puteri gets famous (^^;;;;;) and chatted about everything else.
I'm really happy we get to do this! I mean, really, really took pictures of Puteri and seriously sending her photos for the contest. ^_^ I think she's prettier than most average girls and she has a good chance to enter. I hope so. *crossing my fingers*

Too bad Ardy couldn't come with us. ~_~ He's supposed to be the finance manager/transport coordinator. =P Hehehehhe... and it would have been real fun to have our whole JakArt gang in the picture... ;)

I wish we could go out more often. ^_^ Today's experience was really refreshing! I get to talk about my problem as well (thanks Poppy and Saras for giving me advice). Oh, and the gossip that we had while we were eating at Hoka Hoka Bento was really JUICY!!! ^_^ (Poppy, loe kok bisa tahu juga sih yang begituan?! =P Huehehehe... informan loe banyak banget sih!!! =D) I will share more gossips about "that" when I hear again some. ;)

Kyou wa hontou ni tanoshikatta. Arigatou gozaimasu, minna. Otsukare sama...... kondo wa mou yarimasho!!! ^_^

Well, well, what do you know... this is the actually first time in a very long time that I DON'T blab about Johnny's all the way in my entry. Hehehehehe! ^_^

TERRYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the 4-disc edition of "LORD OF THE RINGS: The Fellowship of the Ring" DVD!!!

Details on the email. ^_^ I'm just so happy that I had to tell you here first. Hehehehehehe... (I'll be writing your email tonight but not sure if I can finish it until tomorrow night. ~_~)

*sigh full of gladness*
My Japanese drama series hunting is almost over. One more to go. I've got "Taiyou no Kisetsu" already. Today I got the second one on my list...
LUNCH NO JOOU!"
JAMAPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Yay! ^_^ Me be seeing Yamapi now. ^_^
Now it's just "Platonic Sex". I seriously have no idea where to get it. >_< I might have to order online. But WHERE?! CD Japan?! Other than being dead expensive there, I'm still not sure they will accept my mom's credit card. Then there's the fact that my mom is bound to have a fit if I ask her to buy me another dorama VCD.
Well, for now, I'm content with what I have. I haven't even watched all the other films she bought me.
Gosh my mom is so nice to me. She lets me shop online. She bought me all the items I purchased today. She doesn't complain every time I ask her if one of the people she knows from office is going to S'pore or HK so that I can ask to buy magazines and CDs/DVDs. She lets me collect magazines. She always buys the books that I want. She even let me keep the VCR that she bought for her own personal use (originally) so that I could record my shows on NHK.

OKASAN, ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!!!

Okay now... JOHNNY'S STUFF!!!

(You seriously didn't think I'd forget, did you? ;))

I'm really curious about Tackey & Tsubasa's new CD single!!! First, of course, there's the song... Jenn wrote in her website that there was another song. A second song, to the one that was previously played on Hina and Yoko's program. Kyaaaa... KIKITAI!!! KIKITAI!
But more curious about the special goods that's supposed to come with a CD single.
Jenn sure really knows how to make me curious. ^^;;

Actually no news about KAT-TUN. But I just want to talk about Junno and Jin. They are the two most different people alive when it comes to dancing. Nyahahaha... I was watching the KAT-TUN VCD (again, yes. AGAIN.) of that show Yoru Mo Hippare. This time I was marveling at that very fact - that Junno and Jin are so very different in dancing. Junno is the most hyper one. Jin is always the coolest one. Jin doesn't really move a lot when he dances. He dances, you know, as it is. Junno, on the other hand, moves very energetically (sometimes too much ^^;;; like Takuya Kimura, actually...). I don't know which one is better. Seriously. I think Junno's a good dancer but he should really tone down a bit. =P Jin's too calm. But he's okay. Aaargh. I dunno... ^^;;;

I love this Porno Graffitti song. "Agehachou". It has a Latin dance feel to it. I'm imagining Tsubasa can dance perfectly with this song. Sexily. Aaiaaa... fantasizing here... *DROOL* He and Junno should definitey dance together. Huahahahaha.

Signing out. My LOTR DVD is waiting for me. ^_^

OMEDETOU, KIMURA-SENSEI!

Congratulations to Takuya Kimura (SMAP), whose wife Shizuka Kudou just gave birth to MITSUKI, their second baby, on 5 February 2003.
Uwaaaaaaa... I don't know if I should laugh or I should cry. Second baby. From her. Aaaaa... they must have a happy marriage life. Sometimes I wish it isn't her. But oh well.. if he's happy.
Anyway, with a father like that I'm sure Kokomi and Mitsuki will be beautiful girls. (My children with Takki will also be beautiful because of the father. ^____________^ Oi, kidding, kidding... =P)
Well... OMEDETOU!.

That's about my fave "sensei" (i.e. it's from the Johnny's Jr. fic.) What happened today? Nothing really...

I just wanted to somehow strangle Kinokuniya. Both the one in Plaza Indonesia and in Plaza Senayan. Seriously. I went to Kino PI to purchase another copy of Myojo February 2003 issue as I had planned yesterday. I went to the display and saw no copies of the magazine. So I asked the sales assistant. Of course, she recognized me. I asked her if there was any left of that issue I wanted. Strangely she said, "Oh yes! We saved it for you." I was like, "Whaaa?? Why?" Then she explained to me that my name was put down on the list of Myojo's subscribers.
...................
How I wanted to laugh out loud then and there! Since when did I ever buy a Myojo in Kino PI?! I have *ALWAYS* bought Myojo in Kino PS.
Anyway, when she saw the look on my face, she guessed right away that I didn't ask to subscribe to it. Then she went to the storage room to verify this thing and check if there's a copy for me. I waited. She returned bringing a copy of the issue and told me that indeed my name was written down for Myojo.
...................
Seriously I don't know how that happened... it's just so screwed up. Then she asked me ONCE AGAIN (she'd already asked me before) which magazines I subscribed to once again. I told her, "Okay, look, here's what I'm subscribing to: POTATO and DUET. This is what I want to order ONLY once: PERSON February 2003 issue. This is what I don't want: Pati Pati, Wink Up and Myojo." Gee, if she doesn't get that right, I'm just going to go laugh out loud and roll on the floor the next time I go there.

Then on the way home I called Kino PS to order the March and April '03 issues of Myojo. I already have the March on, of course, but I also want another copy so I can rip out the stickers.
Well, well, well, what do you know... the person who answered my phone (she also knows me, of course), and told me in a wondering tone, "Eh, Amanda, why are you ordering again? Your name is already put on the list for Myojo subscription!"
.................
WHY?! NAZE?! WHY IS IT ALWAYS MYOJO!?
No, seriously. Myojo! When did I ever say I wanted to subscribe to Myojo?! Then I launched another great long explanation about how I don't want to subscribe to Myojo, and I only ordered for the February and March issue!!! Blaaaahhhhhhh... I seriously don't understand the way the system works down here. ^^;;;;

Ah! I read in Jenn's website that T&T's new song has been played in a radio program (forgot which ones but one of them was HINA and YOKO's program). Kyaaaa...... kikitai!!! KIKITAI!!! It's said to be a semi-ballad, though. I'm thinking something like "The World Will Never Forget" from their first album. Whatever it is, I just want to hear it. Shucks. And it was played on Hina and Yoko's program. I also want to hear Hina and Yoko.
I SHOULD JUST MOVE TO JAPAN RIGHT AWAY!!!
I'm desperate. Then after Japan, I'll go straight to Italy. Then on holidays I'll go to Los Angeles, or Las Vegas, or Hawaii... where Johnny's boys usually get sent to. Nyahahhahahahaa...

I think that's enough for today. I'm going to practice making more web pages now, finish off the email for Kardono's email, and then go to bed. Tomorrow's going to be a long day.

Wednesday, February 5, 2003, 08:51 p.m.

This is a 50-50 day. Half of it is bad. Half of it is good. I'm torn between crying and laughing. This is where my theme song "Do You Agree" fits in.

Let's start with the shitty stuff first...

## Shitty Friends ##
Oh yeah, I do have these. Some people just really make me want to kick them. There's this one... the way she speaks, makes me want to put my hands around her neck and strangle her. There's another one, who uses me as her information operator, calling me from time to time to ask me NOT ABOUT HOW I'M DOING but about WHICH MAGAZINES ARE OUT ON DISPLAY ALREADY. This other one calls me only to talk about "business". What's wrong with people these days?
I sound very cynical, but I am going to say it anyway: it's really hard to find true friends these days. Probably I can only blame the world for changing so much.
Now, these people I mentioned might be reading my blog, but I'm not going to apologize first this time. I'm sick and tired of having to be the one to start everything first - including apologies. It's your turn to apologize, dammit!!!

## SICK OLD MAN ##
When I was waiting for my car in PS after picking up my magazines today, there's this middle-aged-looking man who came up to me and suddenly just asked for my name. GAG! Where did that come from? I was just there, standing all by myself, waiting for my car, not caring for anyone, minding my own business... then this man came up to me started to ask me personal questions! I mean, I didn't even think I look *that* attractive for anyone (bad hair day, a pair of old trekkies, yesterday's T-shirt... 'nuff said). THAT MAN IS SICK. When I didn't respond, he said, "Oh come on, say something." I just told him, "Sumimasen, anata wa... KIMOCHIWARUI!" (Yes, seriously, in Japanese). When he didn't respond to me, I told him, "Nan da yo? Nani wo shitai? IKE!" HAH. Then he stammered something about me not being Indonesian and stuff. My car came and I just entered it. HOEKS. *Ami-chan gags* That was really disgusting.

## CREDIT CARD DENIED ##
Hiks. Hiks. My mom's credit card has been denied by CD Japan (or was itu by Visa?? -- point is: IT'S BEEN DENIED!) and we have to go through a longer procedure to order the KAT-TUN Concert DVD and Tackey & Tsubasa's new CD single. Hiks. DOUSHITE?! Hiks. I'm really worried right now, that I can't order the DVD and CD online... hiks. Hiks. Seriously worried.
It's not fair!!!
My parents told me about how there are cases of Indonesian people ordering stuff online and use their credit cards to buy these things BUT IN THE END THEY DON'T PAY FOR WHAT THEY BUY!!! I can't believe it. I was so shocked when my mom told me this. I mean, do they never pay? And it turned out to be that Amazon.com has blacklisted Indonesian cardholders to shop anything at all from their website! >______< DAMNATION!!! WTF?!
Corrupt. I say, CORRUPTED. Whoever these people are, they are irresponsible, ignorant and miseducated!!! I know they're Indonesians. But as an Indonesian, I feel very ashamed of this. I pay for what I buy. I don't buy what I can't afford. Everyone should know that: DON'T BUY WHAT YOU CAN'T AFFORD. IF YOU DO BUY, PAY IT.

--Enough of the shitty stuff, let's talk about the good stuff. ^_^--

** MAJOR DOWNLOAD SUCCESS **
I finished downloading HEADS' first album, "Micmasta!", thanks to a certain user in Kazaa called luvjay (I think this means he/she likes Jay Chou). ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!
I also managed to download LOTS AND LOTS OF TAKUI'S SONGS. Wow. I had been so desperate in getting Takui's mp3s... after listening to "Punk" and "Fork in the Road" I just know I have to listen to the rest of his songs, just like what happened to me after listening to Porno Graffitti for the first time. Unfortunately, I forgot the name of the user in Kazaa... silver something... (well if you happen to read this -- what are the chances?? ^^;;;) THANKS SO MUCH!
BOTH ARE EXCELLENT. I'm very much satisfied.

** MYOJO FEBRUARY 2003 **
I thought March 2003 issue was already the best one I've ever had ever since I started buying Myojo. But no... the best is this one.
On the cover are Tomoya Nagase (TOKIO), Kouichi Domoto (Kinki Kids) and Junichi Okada (V6), each representing J-FRIENDS.
There's a bonus, a pink cardboard J-FRIENDS CD holder that would look perfect in my pink room.
Posters are also excellent!!! KAT-TUN and YA-YA-YAH!!! WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT?! CHO-KAWAII!!! KAKKOII!!! I LOVE IT!!! KATTUN and YA YA YAH are crossover-ed (gee, I just invented a new verb!) and... and... JUNNO IS WITH NAOYA! Otouto to musuko desu!! ^_^ My brother and my son! My son is with his uncle!!! ^_^ SUGOI!!!
Then I finally understand why Jenn can't stop looking at Takki and Tsuba's jungle posters. Dammit. They are OVERLY SEXY. Much sexier and much more good-looking than the one in March Myojo. I can't stop looking at them. Tsuba's waist. Takki's abdomen. Tsuba's hair. Takki's arm. They bring naughty fantasies to me. KAKKOIIIIIII!!! SEKUSHI!!!!! *tears in Ami-chan's eyes* I can't believe that they exist. They're just look so... kan-pe-ki. K.A.N.P.E.K.I. KANPEKI!
KANJANI RULEZZZ!!! It's the first time since I started buying Myojo that Kansai Jr. are featured in the main pages, not in the small, lower-quality-paper Junior booklet. Yokatta. They are all very handsome. All EIGHT of them. ... EIGHT?! --> OH WOW! V.WEST has a new member! WOW! This guy is HOT!!! Kyaaa... I SAW HIM FIRST! HE'S MINE! *evil smirk* Better make this announcement first to Mubesu.
I am going to buy two more copies of this magazine. I can't afford to have only one. I will ruin this copy. I will buy another two so that I have a spare. This is the one magazine I will keep looking at from time to time. I hope the magazines are still plentiful.

Oh, other than that I got What's In January 2003 Issue (Chemistry on the cover) and ANAN no. 1346 (Tsuyoshi Kusanagi on the cover). There's a very sexy Olympus CM pic inside, featuring Tsuba's lover, Takki-chan. ^_^
Fi-chan, the 1347 one hasn't arrived! I asked. It's probably going to come in two weeks' time.

** MUBESU AFTERNOON **
This afternoon the four Mubesu girls were online: me, shoujo, Saiko and Blurky13. We talked A LOT. And I really do mean A LOT. I mean, the Johnny's threads in KG were really active... we added like, what, THREE PAGES ON EACH THREAD in one afternoon. The Mubesu YahooGroups was also full of fresh new messages this afternoon, talking about our private stuff... (yes, that's how it works -- bishie talk in the forum, private talk in the Yahoogroups).
They were really funny, ano 3-nin, especially Blurky, who started this whole discussion about Mashimaro. She said Kame looked like Mashimaro. I agreed. Then Slackaz argued that Junno looked more like Mashimaro. We decided to make a Mashimaro gang for Johnny's boys who have eyes like Mashimaro and look as cunning as he is. =P
Mashikame... Kamemaro... KAWAII! :-)
Too bad Slackaz wasn't there! >_< It didn't feel complete without her. Then again, maybe the other Asian Music KG-ers were relieved that we weren't complete. ^^;;; Our threads just dominate the Asian Music forum when we're there. All five of us. It happened once. We were the only ones online at that time. It's always fun. ^_^
But Slackaz and I are going to chat. Supposedly. I'm just going to check where she is.
Yappari, after having a fun afternoon in the forum and YahooGroups with Mubesu, I feel less lonely. What more, I finally get to chat with shoujo after a few days not chatting with her! ^_^ Tanoshikatta.

Owatta. I'm so tired now. This has been a pretty emotional email. I'm going to continue writing Kardono's email reply. Wait for it, Kar-kun!
Aaaaa... tired...

Tuesday, February 4, 2003, 03:45 p.m.

Boring, boring day........

I want to buy "SHOCK" DVD. I also just found out of the three-disc DVD set of SMAP's 2002 Concert Tour. >_< They're so very expensive. I can't afford all of that, not with me already pre-ordering KAT-TUN's Concert DVD, and Tackey & Tsubasa's and Arashi's new singles. They are making me broke here. *sigh*

Why do my favorite artists have to come from Japan???

^^;; Well, all those Korean CDs were also expensive but Korean artists don't release singles. There isn't a CD single market in Korea! What more, Korean prices are cheaper than Japanese ones. Maybe I should just return to Bi/Kang Ta/Shinhwa/JTL/G.O.D> mode? But not even Bi has a new album out! >____< Oh! But Kang Ta did release a photo book recently... I want to buy it too, but... already broke from buying all the T&T stuff.
Speaking of K-pop, I haven't listened to 5tion's 2nd album that I bought last week!!! I will listen to it tonight. To refresh myself from LIV's utterly hard rock music. ^^;;;

Aaaaah, boring, boring... dunno what to do... watch the DVDs again, I suppose...

Monday, February 3, 2003, 01:05 a.m.

Whaaa... it's Monday already. Yappari... the weekend was really interesting. Actually on Sunday morning, I felt really wretched. I didn't sleep at all after coming home from Plaza Senayan with my friends, and I was really sleepy when I had to meet Sita at Plaza Indonesia. In the afternoon I didn't feel genki either... but now as the day has changed, I'm feeling SUPER GENKI. (I think there's no one but me at my house who can feel super genki at midnight. =P)

Reasons for my genki-ness are:

#1: KINKI KIDS SPECIAL ON MTV MANDARIN

Like I said yesterday, Kinki Kids is MTV Mandarin's (INT'L) ARTIST OF THE MONTH. Today there was the Kinki Kids Special Feature.
Even though I'm not a fanatic of Kinki Kids, I still like them quite a lot and was really happy when this special program aired.
Kouichi and Tsuyoshi Domoto said "Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu" (for the Chinese New Year) and reviwed their year 2002
Tsuyoshi-kun talked about his first solo album and concert. Kouichi talked about the musical "SHOCK". Clips of both events were shown and no doubt, in the "SHOCK" clips, I could see KAT-TUN, Tsubasa Imai and Jun Akiyama (if I'm not mistaken, but I thought I saw him).
They talked about their album... just a short bit... and after that MTV Mandarin played their PVs, namely "Hey Minna! Genki Kai?", "Kanashimi Blue", "Solitude ~Shinjitsu no Sayonara~", "Natsu no Ousama", "Flower" and "Jet Coaster".
I recorded all these PVs although I already have them. But since my recording is old, I decided to record them again for better quality.
KOICHI-KUN WA KAKKOII!
I sometimes think he looks too sweet... but during that talk (interview), he looked so kakkoii! Maybe it's because of his smile and the fact that he was wearing a white shirt (T-shirt??) under a black jacket. WOW! He looked so cool!
TSUYOSHI-KUN WA KAWAII, "FLOWER" NO PV NAKA DE!
I was smiling all over when I saw Tsuyoshi-kun in that video. His hair was still short, and had blondish highlight. Clean-cut, very fashionable... cool style! And his smile was very kawaii in that PV! ^_^ DAISUKI!!! I was feeling nostalgic when I saw this video. I don't know why but I just feel nostalgic. =P

#2: ZA SHOUNEN CLUB

This is the reason why I didn't sleep at all: AS TO NOT MISS THE FIRST TEN MINUTES OF "Za Shounen Club"!!!
Last week, I missed the first 10 minutes of the show. I didn't feel sad because of it or anything but I found out that I have to wait for two weeks to see another edition of Shokura, since next week there won't be any! So that I won't be depressed waiting for it for two long weeks (the wait is long when it comes to Shokura ^^;;;) with only 2/3 recorded episodes, I decided to be really, really punctual pressing the start button exactly at the start of the show.

Well, there were lots of things in Shokura. There were scenes where the other 4Tops members teased Hasejun while filming that part when they read what the Juniors wrote on the board (what's this segment called, I dunno). Coincidentally in the magazine I bought yesterday, there was an article exactly about this! About how YamaP, Toma and Kazapon likes to tease Hasejun. Today, I got the proof... DOH! =P Poor Hasejun. ^^;;; Of course, I know they're joking but still... STOP HARASSING HASEJUN!!! =P

And then they showed the making of the "gakko dorama" (produced by Takki).
MY JUNNO WAS BEATEN UP BY HIS GROUP MATES! Hidoiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! ^^;;;
Of course, it was all a play since it is, after all, just a film! But, still... =P Surprisingly, Junno was still grinning when they beat him up, He was even smiling when he kept lying flat on the floor after Toma had said, "OK! Naisu! Yokatta, Taguchi!" Nyahahahha... Junno, you cheeky boy, you!
But Kame is probably cheekier... he NG-ed a lot on the scene where they were supposed to stop Shige and Koyama (KK KITY) from entering the school. I notice that whenever Kame-chan makes a mistake or is nervous, he always moves around his hands. When he NG-ed and was playfully told off by Toma, he rolled and waved his hands, and then slapped his own cheeks! Kame-chan, kawaii yo, when you do that! ^_^

There was a VTR about Jimmy Mackey that made my sister drooled and laughed. It was... JIMMY ACTION SHOW WITH KOUCHAN!
There was one episode in October (if I'm not mistaken) where Jimmy did an imitation of Kouchan's dance moves for Action Show segement. The VTR of the "practice" was shown today! Jimmy had to ask Kouchan to teach him the moves and so while Toma held a camera to film them, Jimmy received a small lesson from Kouchan.
Kouchan said that the move he was teaching Jimmy was a dance move he did with Tsuyoshi and Nagase! The move was really silly but Jimmy did it very well, even matching Kouchan to perfection! =D Jimmy made the funny move become even cuter when he did it. Jimmy is cute. ^_^

There was also a medley of past Shokura performances by TACKEY & TSUBASA!
List: Takki's "Shelter" + Tsubasa's "Be Cool" + Takki's "Here I Am" + Tsubasa's "Ikanaide" + Tackey & Tsubasa's "True Heart".

#3: "GENKI DASH! DOYAH" ON NHK

Ya~ HONMA NI kono bangumi wa TANOSHII DESU YO!!!
This is exactly what made me positively genki right now.
Keita of w-inds made me laugh so much as he participated in the comedy play at the beginning of the show. Then there was this comedy duo unit (forgot the name, SORRY!) who really, really shook my stomach with laughter. There was an OK performance by Melon Kinenbi (the most tolerable group in Hello Project, IMHO. No offense! ^^;;;)
t the end of the show w-inds sang "Because of You". Dynamic, energetic. No wonder the show is named "GENKI DASH"! It's really, really appropriate! ^_^

Osaka he ikitai...

Other than that, I saw the the final episodes for the NHK dorama "KARUTA QUEEN", starring Hikari Ishida, Tatsuya Yamaguchi (TOKIO) and Kanjani's Ryo Nishikido. I was moved by the story. Cried a bit, but not much. Really nice ending. ^_^ GU-SAN IS HANDSOME. He has this image of a nice, understanding and considerate boyfriend... and this is not only his image in the dorama!!! I really see him like that. The sensitive one. He's so much more appealing to me than Abang Tomo. LOL! XD Nyahaahaha...
Btw, I found out... Ryo-chan's character's name in the dorama is TOMOYA. Hehehehehehe... =P
