Aww...

I'm getting addicted to JE stuff... Videos, mp3s, j-webs...

Especially NewS...can't get enough of them. Unlike Arashi, i like NewS as a group, and i also like them individually. I don't know if it's true that if you like NewS, you won't like KATTUN as much (and vice-versa), but that goes for me.

So how did i get into JE's?

It started first around May 2005, when my good friends Vida and Vina lent me a copy of the Gokusen drama. MatsuJun (of Arashi, a JE group)was the first Johnny's i saw. Of course the Gokusen theme Feel Your Breeze was sung by V6, another JE group.

Then, i watched Takky (of Tackey and Tsubasa)in Majo no Jouken, and later, SOS. He could be the most gorgeous Johnny's up to date.

KimuTaku (of SMAP)was the next Johnny i saw. The drama was Hero.

And after that...dramas, dramas, dramas.

Hmm...a list.

MatsuJun (Arashi) - Gokusen, Kimi wa Petto, Hana Yori Dango
Takky (TxT) - Majo no Jouken, SOS, Antique
Kimura (SMAP) - Hero, Beautiful Life, Pride, Engine, Good Luck!
Kame (KATTUN) - Gokusen 2, Nobuta wo Produce, Sapuri
Yamapi (NewS) - Nobuta wo Produce, Kurosagi, Stand Up!, IWGP
Nino (Arashi) - Stand Up!
Tegishi (NewS) - My Boss My Hero
Nagase (TOKIO) - My Boss My Hero, IWGP
Koki (KATTUN) - My Boss My Hero
Toma (Jrs) - Akihabara@DEEP
Kazapon (Jrs) - Akihabara@DEEP
Ryo (News/Kanjani8) - Attention Please
BakaJin (KATTUN) - Gokusen 2

I think that's it.

But during those times, i didn't know yet that they were Johnny's. I do know that they were members of some jpop group, but i wasn't aware that all group were part of JE. I wasn't interested on listening to their songs anyway.

Then, i heard them one by one.

V6 - Feel Your Breeze (Gokusen theme)
V6 - Change the World (Inu Yasha theme)
SMAP - Kimi Iro Omoi (Chacha theme)
KATTUN - Kizuna (Gokusen2 theme)
Arashi - Wish (HanaDan theme)
Shuuji to Akira - Seishun Amigo (NwP theme)
NewS - Sayaendou (One Piece theme)
TxT - Mirai Koukai (One Piece theme)
Yamapi - Daite Senyorita (Kurosagi theme)
Arashi - Kotoba Yori mo Taisetsuna Mono (Stand Up! theme)

Shuuji to Akira's Seishun Amigo and NewS' Sayaendou, and Yamapi as a whole, got me interested in JE. After reading articles and interviews, joining forums, downloading videos and mp3s, collecting images, and learning the dance steps (yes, i got addicted, it's so funny), i now became a JE enthusiast.

Im still not convinced with their singing skills, however their dancing is quite good. All their PVs and live performances never fail to amuse me. Just one quick look at the videos, and it already brings a smile to my face. And learning the dance steps are really really funny. I always enjoy doing it.

But i admit that their acting skills are really really good. KimuTaku is the #1 jdrama actor in the rankings. And he deserves it. Among the seven that i listed above, BakaJin would be my least fave actor, but that's of course because i've seen him in only one drama. And although i saw Nino in only one drama too, he would be an exception. His character in Stand Up! was so awesome, that i believe even MatsJun won't be able to pull that off.

Argh! I need to see them more!!

I never knew this would happen. Haha.

So, as a NewS fan (a fan, really?), i just wish that on Johnny's countdown, i will see them perform. I miss them, and i really like to see all EIGHT of them together again, with Kusano and Uchi. Being on hiatus sucks.

This is the end of my post. I'll just get myself busy for the remaining 3 1/2 hours of my duty.

Whee~ *goes to watch Cherish PV and dance to her heart's delight*
