2nd Round Blogging

## Ami-chan magazine frenzy
Just went back from PI and PS and found several interesting magazines.
April's issues' theme is GREEN. I saw three magazines, two of them fashion magz and one is music, and the cover is green-ish. ^^ Cool. I like green. ^^
I bought PERSON April 2003 issue with V6> on the cover. But this one is not green. It's dark. Otona kanji. All the V6 members look really kakkoii. But I liked the edition with Kouchan on the cover better.
Anyway, the green-theme-cover-magz:
- FINE BOYS April issue has Ninomiya Kazunari (Arashi) on the cover. *bikkuri shita* He looks so mature in the cover of that magazine. There are only three pages of him inside the magazine, though.
- The other fashion magazine I saw was Men's Nonno. What a cool magazine. The cover is Satoshi Tsumabuki and he looks damn kakkoii in there. I was so astonished to see him there!! I called Fi right away to tell her, but I wouldn't suggest her buy it... the whole magazine is cool but if you're only looking for Satoshi, you'd only get two pages of him. Well, there's one whole page with Takuya Kimura's plastered... but still... unless you're a maniac collector like me, or have too much money in your pocket, or extremely interested in fashion like Arisa, or just a big, big, BIG FANATIC of Satoshi Tsumabuki...

PATi PATi!
NAOHITO FUJIKI ON THE COVER!
There are 23 pictures of him in the magazine, including the cover, the 2nd inner cover, his new album's CM and a big double-sided poster. Then the article is 4 pages in total.
I almost fainted seeing how handsome he is in the cover. Nao-niichan!!!!

Why can't I get Nao-niichan and Abang Tomo as my brothers?? >________< Damn it.

1st Round Blogging

I'll probably have to do this often. "Round Blogging".

## Ami-chan needs a brother: I seriously need Abang Tomo (Tomoya Nagase) right now. I WANT HIM AS A BROTHER! No, I don't want to date him. I'm not his dai-fan (that would be Yamaguchi Tatsuya). I don't fantasize hentai stuff about him (that I do with TxT and KAT-TUN). I JUST WANT HIM AS A BROTHER!!! >_______< I'm so tired of being the eldest child in the family. It's not that I don't love my sister, but the responsibility is too big. It's too much. I can't handle it. I just wish that I can dump all these responsibilities as being the oldest to a brother.
That is why I'm so obsessed with my SATPAM FAMILY fiction, because that's where I get Bang Tomo as my brother. BANG, ENGKAU DI MANA?!?!?!?! T______________________T

## Ami-chan can't Stop Laughing: Okay, someone please explain to me who are TETSU & TOMO? This duo crack me up, seriously. They're too hyperactive, but I just fell in love with their "Nandedarou!?" song.
## Ami-chan just wants to say: NANDEDAROU?! ^^;;; --> See, my brain cells are cracking after watching too much of those two.

Hiks, hiks. I still need Bang Tomo very much.

3rd Round Blogging

## Ami-chan just watched: "Maid in Manhattan". Last week I watched "Two Weeks' Notice". And opinion --> DEFINITELY SANDRA OVER J.LO. No offense, but Sandra's just made for romantic comedies, and J.Lo... well, she better stay home and make Ben a happy puppy. No, seriously.
## Ami-chan's message to FANG: Fang, THANKS SO MUCH FOR MAKING ME SMILE AGAIN! I was so stressed out and in one of those moods again. ~_~ But when I saw your mail, I was smiling and giggling... ^_^ You really know how to make me smile... and...

SHIKEN,GANBATTE!! GOOD LUCK ON YOUR EXAMS!!

Oops, my TagBoard's full of Kardono's name. Nyahahah. We really flooded each other's tags this afternoon. This is what happens when two people who like real-life bishies so much meet. ^___^ Even I tag Terry to talk about bishie. Terry must want to stomp on me.
Now, I better go watch Dohmoto Kyoudai and Utaban again before I get stressed out again. >_< I need to laugh.

2nd Round Blogging

## New on Ami-chan's current playlist: CHO NAN GANG's "Saranghaeyo" --> This is by far the funniest song I've ever heard and probably the only song by Tsunku that I've ever truly adored. It's even sillier than "Shingo Mama No Oha Rock"!! But either way, SMAP is still the craziest group out there. LOL. They're old but they're crazy. ^^;; Cool.
## Ami-chan owes e-mail to: Terry, Cecil, Rei, Arisa, Yona and Kardono --> MINNA, HONTOU NI GOMENASAI!!! Sorry I haven't replied to your emails. >_____< Ultra busy this week. I owed Jenn an e-mail for three days ever since I promised writing to her! ^^;; This weekend I'll be busy too but I'll make sure I have time to write to all of you.
## Ami-chan wants to MASSACRE: A certain someone named Joko who works at Kinokuniya PS. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT GUY?! HE'S REALLY ASKING FOR A FART BOMB STRAIGHT IN HIS THROAT!!! He DID NOT WRITE DOWN MY ORDER FOR POPOLO BY AIR!!! Ano baka!!! >_< No wonder I didn't get my Popolo on time... HE DID NOT ORDER IT FOR ME!!! Someone better strain me before I rip his guts. What pisses me off the most, he did not apologize at all... and he did not take responsibility. Instead I had to bother two nice female employees at Kino whose job isn't to take magazine orders!!! HAH! Next time I see him I'm going to stick a fart bom in his mouth.

Now, back to FLAME!!!
[Comments on FLAME on NHK POP JAM 09/03/'03 Report]
Feli, yeah I was surprised to see Yusuke singing the most in this song... I was kinda hoping Kyohei would take the lead... ^^;; But I think this is for fairness' sake, ne? Biar adil gitu jadi dibagi2 perannya. I also notice Yuu and Hisato have more rap parts now.

Oh, just want to make it clear:
FLAME is that boyband that has a pair of TWINS, Yusuke and Hisato Izaki. Yusuke is often said to look like Gackt while Hisato is often considered like a junior version of Hyde. There are FOUR of them in a group. The other two's names are Kyohei Kaneko (who bears a very striking resemblance to 4Tops' Shunsuke Kazama) and Yuu Kitamura. They are said to be KAT-TUN's competitor (I have absolutely no idea why!)
They are different from w-inds, which has THREE members: Keita Tachibana (my sister's other choice beside JImmy Mackey), Ryohei Chiba and Ryuichi Ogata. They are often compared with ARASHI (again, I have absolutely no idea why!).
Just thought I'd explain this again for people who might be wondering. Hehehehe... (when it comes to bishies, I would like to make everything clear - Johnny's or non-Johnny's!)

By the way, again, minna:

TACKEY & TSUBASA WILL BE ON THIS WEEK'S NHK POP JAM!!

Other guests include: Gackt, Takako Uehara and... Maki Gotou (NANDE?!?!?!?!?! >__________<) Otanoshimi ni!

You can bet that there's going to be a review from me. ^_^ God, I love it when T&T are everywhere. I love it when Johnny's artists are everywhere. Well, actually they *ARE* everywhere. Because of that, I have this crazy obsession. Hope you don't mind. ^_^ Nyahahaha... (why am I saying all this?! I'm just pissed off at Joko at Kino, that's why! >_<)

1st Round Blogging

## Ami-chan's new purchases: two new tops that can be worn one on top of the other.
## Ami-chan's current playlist: Tackey & Tsubasa "To Be or Not To be" and "Ikiteru Akashi" and Exile's "We Will ~Ano Bassho De~" (as you can see I'm very much in an Avex mode).
## Ami-chan can't stop watching: Music Station 21/02/'03 episode (Tamori-san: "NAKA II NE..." XD Huahahahaha...) and Utaban (the one with Arashi) and KAT-TUN Concert DVD.
## Ami-chan wants to watch: Anything with T&T, KAT-TUN and Arashi in it. >_< (Please save me. I love them all!)

Now, ESPECIALLY FOR FELI!!!
[FLAME on NHK POP JAM 09/03/'03 Report]
Mereka perform doang, ga diwawancara sama Yuuka (thank God!) Lagu yang mereka nyanyiin "Remind". Lead vocal nya Yusuke ya? Kyohei nggak nyanyi bagian chorus nya. Tumben2an. Tapi lumayanlah... lagunya krn ngerap dan nadanya agak berat jadi suara Yusuke yang lebih serak lebih cocok. Kyohei imut banget. Members nya kesorot satu2 tapi paling banyak Yusuke (krn dia nyanyi banyak di sini). Terus rambut Hisato masih di-cacing gitu. Wajah2 mereka nggak banyak berubah kok... lihat aja foto2 di majalah... ^^;;; Sama kayak gitu... bajunya juga tetap kayak biasa: celana, T-shirt dan jaket... mereka nggak berubah. Still cute, still cool, still energetic. Eh tapi kali ini di sini Kyohei dance nya nggak gaya gempa bumi lho. XD hahahahahah...

URESHIIIIIIIIII!!!!

I passed the Japanese Language Proficiency Test Loevel 4!!!

I got my results today. So happy. Finally. Kinou kara sugoku kincho shimashita... I was feeling nervous ever since I got a letter from JF yesterday saying that the result was already available in JF. I got it today. What's making me happier about this whole thing is that: Eka-sensei (my teacher) is sooo happy about it... it felt so rewarding when I heard her yelling in excitement and enthusiasm announcing to everyone in the Language Corner office that I passed the test. ^_^ I'm so happy I've made her proud. I'm happy because I achieved something important from learning something that I like. I really owe Eka-sensei this achievement. ^_______^ Arigatou, sensei!!!

Okay, Junon is trying to kill me. There are some seriously hot, sexy and spicy pictures of Suga Takamasa. PHWOAAAAARRR! Give me him. If only Junno poses like that. I will die for real. ^^;;; THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY HANDSOME GUYS IN THIS WORLD.

Tuesday, March 11, 2003, 05:50 p.m.

FINALLY!!! I had time to write the Shounen Club Weekly Report. *sigh* I'm serious when I say someone should take over my Japanese homeworks for me. ^^;; Anyone interested?? =P
Anyway...

If I have time I'll update the T&T Futari De" Gallery later. Some new pictures from new magazines.

On the meantime I need some rest. I'm just going to watch Utaban. God, Arashi is so cheeky in this episode! XD Huahahaha... and I can't wait to see the one with T&T and SMAP. ^_^ Then I'll check out again T&T's Music Station 21/02/03 performance. ^_^ I love hearing Tamori say, "NAKA II NE..." This scene is so addictive! XD


This blog is property of The Tomatoe, a.k.a. Ami-chan, a.k.a. Amichi, a.k.a. Sangue, whose real name is Amanda, born 18 September 1982.
Tomatoe, as two of her friends like to put it, is crazy.
She is in love and obssessed with many J & K males, like Takki, Tsuba, Junno & the KAT-TUN boys, Nao, Bi, and Andy.
She has strange habits, like wathing something over and over again until remembers all the dialogues and sequences of the things she watches. She's also willing to wake up so early in the morning... or worse yet, NOT SLEEP AT ALL to record her favorite show on time! But her most annoying habit is to LITERALLY PESTER the employees of Kinokuniya bookstore just to get her magazines.
Don't believe it? Find the truth!
The layout is created by Tomatoe's best friend since elementary school, The Orange Blossom, who's supposedly currently working on the next layout. ^-^
In this blog Tomatoe always talks about her bishies. Bishie, bishie and... BISHIE! ^________^
However, Tomatoe has finally made a profile page that you can look at to take a deeper look on the Tomatoe's world! TAKE A DEEPER LOOK OF TOMATOE'S WORLD HERE!


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)
(Left to right: Kamenashi-Akanishi-Ueda-Tanaka-Nakamaru-Taguchi)

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 discovered the wonderful world of KAT-TUN on 2001”N‚XŒŽ‚Q‚Q“ú ('01/09/22). She likes everyone in KAT-TUN... but, she just adores and is affectionate towards Junnosuke because Junno-chan is sooooo cute and sweet.
