My First SPYAIR & KiS-MY-FT2 CDs!

I'll make this short since my eyes really want to shut now, I've been lacking sleep for 4 months now;

The following are my recent purchases! :)

SPYAIR Beautiful Days single. Bought online. My first ever SPYAIR single!

This was released last August 24 but I received it last September 18. Worth the wait though.^^ It's SPYAIR after all! :)

Next!

KiS-MY-FT2 Everybody Go single. Personally bought at Astroplus SM North EDSA The Block. The first ever JPOP single released in the Philippines! The first ever Kisumai single! :)

It comes with 2 different posters and a baller (and the receipt and the Astroplus plastic. LOL.) Released in the Philippines today, September 24. I bought this at around 1PM.

As I've stated on my last post, I might be buying singles this September and I have.

Now, I'm aiming to save money for Hey! Say! JUMP's Magic Power single! I'll do my best! XD

Happy 28th Birthday, Matsumoto Jun!

It's my ichiban's special day today~! *Throws confetti*

Can I miss a post? Of course not!

To the ever fabulous Jun-kun,

For turning 28 years old, omedeto!

Even if you're now 28, don't worry, you still look like you're 17, like Nino. XD

Someday, I'll go to Tokyo Tower & Sky Tree with you so matte ne! *Gets shot*

Okay, let's get a little serious. XD

I'll somehow find a way to go to Japan and watch you with the other members of Arashi perform live so until then please continue to give me happiness through variety shows, singles, albums and concert DVDs.

Thank you for making me & my mom closer and for giving me motivation to continue in spite of frustrations.

More dramas, stage plays, movies and Arashi years to come!

Anyway, I know you will find a partner suitable for you.

So even if you get a girlfriend or a wife in the future, I'll always be supporting you :)

For being born, thank you very much!

The people that you had given happiness to, there are so many of them in this world.
I believe all of them are thankful that Matsumoto Jun was born.

Jun-kun, aishiteru yo~! ♥

Ikemen Desu ne (mini review only since it just started~)

My days off from school and the class suspensions gave me some time to caught up with summer dramas!

(Summer dramas in Japan, I mean. There's no way it's summer in the Philippines right now.)

I've caught up with the episodes which are out with subtitles of Ikemen Desu ne, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e ~Ikemen Paradise~ remake, Ouran High School Host Club, Don Quixote & Bull Doctor!

This is just a mini review since the dramas has just started airing, hence, my opinions might change so I won't conclude anything.
Here's my mini review for Ikemen Desu ne!

Ikemen Desu ne

The original Korean version aired in 2009 and starred Park Shin Hye, Jang Keun Suk, Lee Hong Ki, and Jung Yong Hwa. The story revolved around a fictional boy band named A.N.JELL. Park Shin Hye played a nun-in-training who has to pose as her twin brother and take his place in the group, leading to a complicated relationship between the group’s members. --- Tokyograph (copied from DramaWiki)

Takimoto Miori as Sakuraba Mio (Male)/Sakuraba Mio (Female)

Tamamori Yuta as Katsuragi Ren

Fujigaya Taisuke as Fujishiro Shu

Yaotome Hikaru as Hongo Yuki

When I learned that Japan will be remaking a Korean drama, I got curious on what the story is, so before it started airing, I watched the original Korean version first.

The Korean version was great. I'm not into Korean dramas right now, but upon watching I thought it was good drama.

Okay, so moving forward, as far as the 2 episodes I've watched are concern, it's really good! :) Hikka(Yuki) sure is cute & funny, Taipi(Shu) is doing a great job in acting as a Hanazawa-Rui-type-of-guy (LOL. If you know what I'm talking about. XD) And Tama-chan(Ren)... Tama-chan is just so coooooooool~! Tama-chan is going up on my list of my top guys! About the girl, I dunno. LOL. I think she's cuter when she's a guy. XD But pretty much, I think and believe they can live up to the original version.

I like the songs on the Korean version, and it seems like I would like the songs in their Japanese version too! I'm looking forward to the CD, as I've said on my last post!

Nippon no Arashi book, Beautiful World album and Hey! Say! JUMP Over single~! \(^ o ^)/

Some of my pre-ordered items have arrived yesterday!

I'm really happy when I was riding the bus going home yesterday and my mom sent me an SMS stating that these goods had arrived! Oyeaaaaa~ I was smiling by myself on the bus. :D

I was supposed to have a copy of Samurai Heart (Some Like It Hot) single of SPYAIR but it got out of stock so I ordered Hey! Say! JUMP's Over single instead.^^ I regret not having SPYAIR's single but I don't regret having a copy of Over so I guess all is well, right? XD

Anyway, before I start crying again because I don't have a copy of Samurai Heart, here's a pic of what I received yesterday: 

The book is the Nippon no Arashi. I didn't expect it to be that big since I thought it will be  a pocket book, but clearly, it wouldn't fit in your pocket. XD The 2 CDs are Hey! Say! JUMP's Over single & Arashi's newest album Beautiful World. :)

In conclusion, I am totally penniless right now. XD LOL JK. 

I will be having a copy of the Wink Up July issue & MatsuJun's latest AnAn, and hopefully they arrive soon! But I have to prepare money for payment first, right!

Sore ja~!

SPYAIR :)

I haven't updated lately >.<

Ah, right. LAZINESS again.

Recently, I'm really hooked up on a JRock band!

SPYAIR

Uwaaaa~ I love Glay, Flumpool, & The Gazette,

but it's the first time I've been so addicted with a JRock band!

Please do hear them out!

Here are their PVs!

LIAR

LAST MOMENT

JAPANICATION

SAMURAI HEART

Now, how did I learned about SPYAIR? It all started when I've heard their song on the drama Hammer Session! because it was the ending song. I downloaded an MP3 of Liar and maybe while searching I found their song Last Moment too. When I was listening to it on my phone, I fell in love with the song Liar and so I'm curious about it's PV. That time, I was also searching for Flumpool's songs so I mistook it as a song by Flumpool since it was mixed with those. I keep searching & searching on YouTube "Liar by Flumpool" but no luck. I got curious why so I checked on my phone then I learned that I'm a complete fool for mistaking it. I thought the album title was SPYAIR but it turned out it was the artist! So I searched "Liar by SPYAIR" on YT and eventually I found the PV! And of course, having the knack in Hot Japanese Guys I fell in love with the vocalist! He is so SMEEEEEXY! Then, I started searching about them & knew the members' names but JRock bands always want to be mysterious so I don't know their surnames! Don't get me wrong, I don't love them just because the vocalist is good looking but I love his voice & their music!

To make the long story short, I am now searching more about them because since they are quite new, only few photos & videos of them are on the 'net. But I'm actually more thrilled about it!

I am now a stalker of the members' blogs. LOL. :)

No, I'm not changing fandom here. I'm just adding another fandom! Anyway, someone ask on yahoo!answers on which artists should she give a listen to since she's converting into JPop-JRock nowadays. I gave her quite a long list then told her to give SPYAIR a listen. She chose my answer as the best and told me "OMG... thank you and after listening to 30 seconds of SPYAIR i knew i had what i was lookin for thanks girl!!!" :) I cried upon reading her message! Someone appreciate SPYAIR in just 30 seconds! 

Now, I aim to share SPYAIR's music to more people! :)

(Note: The facts and trivia here are from kat-tunxnews fansite of webs, news-jpop and uwasako of livejournal, and this forum topic at d-addicts. (I just edited/joined the facts for further explanation.) 

For his dramas and movies, it's HERE. I haven't watch any of his dramas. Yeah, it's because I'm a sore loser. :P

My thoughts:

It took me a lot of days to gather motivation in making Shige's profile. *Bows again & again* I mean, LOL, I'm having my summer vacation right now so I'm maximizing it by watching dramas. But I'm not stating that putting up Shige's profile was a bother, it's just that HTML is a bother. You get me? >.< I should get my NEWS dose or I might forget that I'm a fan of NEWS. LOL. I'm kidding. I mean, where's NEWS? They aren't doing anything as a group lately! Ryo is busy with the three singles Kanjani8 is releasing. Yamapi is busy with his solo concerts, even on other countries. And the last from TegoMass is Aoi Bench. I dunno about the bestfriends - Koyama & Shige. :| C'mon, NEWS! Please release a single soon! Anyway, why am I talking about NEWS entirely? Shige's looks so different in the photo above! And Shige, I would never forget your stripping at Shounen Club, please do it again. LOL. XD I'm sorry, this pervy lady is appearing. :D There you have it! Shige's profile~ Until my next post. :)
