dome con repo day 2

[mayoraasei]

I won't be doing this for the entire 13 days (or even the first 10 days), just so you know.

There is an incredibly distracting ad right next to my post-an-entry box of a (non-cartoon) girl in a singlet flashing smiles and winking and flicking her hair and pouting at me, all with her arms propped up while lying prone on a bed and emphasising her cleavage and her tits are about 2 cm away from popping out of her red singlet. IT IS INCREDIBLY DISTRACTING. UGGGH. AND I'M NOT EVEN A GUY (OR A LES).

Finished updating =)


No "Moon" or "Ai no Command". There was "Gloria" and "Will be Alright" as second encore.
Seemed like the songs were shorter - esp Neiro seemed cut short



Ueda solo: He made some mistakes while playing the piano and had to restart. He also made a mistake with his solo lyrics and yelled out "I got the lyrics wrong, sorry!" Cute~
Jin: The Crystal Kay PV was extended and showed the title of his solo ("Wonder"). In the encore he forgot his words and had to check the big screen, so instead of singing "tell me~" he sang "sorry~" to make up for it.
Maru's bungee: FAILED AGAIN. Ganbare, Nakamaru-kun!
Maru: I think I lost some fans =(
KT member: Why?
Maru: Cos I didn't jump.
KT member: Why didn't you jump?
Maru: Cos it's scary.
KT member: Why is it scary?
Maru: Cos I was hanging off a crane.
Today's guests: Chinen (Hey Say JUMP) and Masuda (NEWS). Chinen sang. People are not happy =/ I am personally really fond of Chinen and Yamada (came yesterday) and also Nakajima (who I expect will turn up by the look of things), so I don't mind, but I can see why people are pissed off - especially after Yamashita's untimely appearance last year. But this bit's cute:
Jin: Chinen is so cute~
Chinen: I know.
LOL CHINEN!!!!!


Akame moments
(These are reports by Akame fans, so they do read into stuff =P)
1. When promoting Gokusen, "Jin very naturally said that his own role was Odagiri". Apparently it sounded like a mistake rather than deliberate. He then got pissed off at Maru when the other members laughed at him. From other fans: He asked "How does it feel? Gokusen without Yabuki?" And afterwards said, "Odagiri isn't the same as Akanishi" - apparently he thought he was acting as Odagiri? LOL.
2. Also when promoting Gokusen,
Jin: I went overseas to study.
KT: This again?!
Jin: I'm not the same as Odagiri Ryuu.
3. When promoting drama, Kame was reading off a cheat sheet (?) and later Jin wanted to check something and edged close to have a look, and a lot of fans went "Kyaa~~~". Someone else said that even though they were standing quite apart at the start of the MC, Jin kept shuffling closer. Later when promoting Konkatsu, Ueda stood in the centre between Kame and Jin, and the other members was watching them as though it was funny (probably Jin's face went all dark and pissy again LOL).
4. When other members are talking, Jin just holds his mic loosely in his hand, but when Kame talks, Jin always has his mic by his mouth ready to speak. Hahahah how cute XDDD
5. Jin kept staring at Kame (well...what else is new ==;). Especially during the encore (Kame took his shirt off for the encore).
6. When Koki came on dressed as Krillin (*interesting side note, the picture on Wikipedia of Krillin has a big "Kame" badge on his chest LOL), Kame seemed to have touched his butt, at which Jin yelled, "What are you touching! What are you touching on Krillin!!" (Actually...it sounded more stupid than that..."お前どこ叩いてんだ!!クリリンのクリリンを"...被急得語無倫次了 *噗*)
7. During MC promotion for Mr. Brain,
Jin: Because I'm Mr. Brain?
KT: HAH?!
Kame: You want to be my subordinate?
The person who provided this noted: Jin's "I didn't get to be Akira" (CTKT) and "The older brother was me" (Kame's birthday). I'd like to add...compare with Jin's "[Let's form a group called] Shuuya to Akijin" (KAT-TUN Style). BWAHAHAHA.

AW I just want to hug poor Nakamaru~ *pats* Don't worry, all of your fans will still love you even if you're a bit of a coward XDDD ♥

Lolol oh Chinen~~~~ XDDD ♥ I'm actually anticipating when Nakajima will come haha~! ♥ I'm just wondering who'll come as guest when they do the DVD recording because Yamapi's appearance was a bit... surprising lol in the last one haha.

Oh god the Akame moments killed me~! XD ♥ I particularly liked point three and four lol because I could really imagine Jin acting all prissy when Ueda was standing between them lolol (that and I can totally see Jin straying closer to wherever Kame is since he does that a lot XD). *delusional*. But LOL The Krillin comment XDDDDDDD. Wtf? Haha omg... ♥

Shuuya to Akijin... XDD Oh Jin~~~~ ♥

[luna-rainbow.livejournal.com]

All of Maru's fans love him because he's a coward ♥ <-- a bit of a Maru fan herself XDDD

Yeah~~~ I'm looking forward to Yuto turning up too =D I'm also looking forward to Hikaru and Yabu (though I don't really like Yabu as much).

I hope they don't have anyone turn up for the DVD recording day. A lot of fans were extremely pissed off that Yamashita was in it, and a lot of them threatened to/did boycott the DVD. I just think whoever planned for Yamashita to turn up that day was stupid - most of TTUN fans are pretty blah about him, half the pure Kame fans and half the pure Jin fans hate him, and about 80% of Akame fans REALLY hate him... And it's pretty rich of them to use KT to promote Yamashita. I think this is part of the reason why a lot of fans this year are pissed off at HSJ members turning up one by one and singing.

Hahaha~ Jin is the master of acting pissy~ XDDD And the best part about it is....he's not good enough at acting to actually be faking it XDDDDDDD

[sun-ming.livejournal.com]

Lol definitely~~~ ♥ I love Nakamaru haha~ especially when he's doting on Kame XDDDD ♥

I can just imagine how happy Kame will be lol~ since he loves Nakajima lol ♥ They're so adorable, like a pair of brothers XD ♥

Yeah, his appearance only made me a little annoyed because it drew a lot of attention away from KAT-TUN's interaction as a whole. If they have a guest, I just hope they don't jump in on the MC talk or anything like that. I'm fine if they're in a small part of it, but no, please to not be everywhere ><, even though I'm sure it wasn't Yamapi's idea. Lol and I do find it kind of weird that HSJ are singing; if they were just appearing, I think it would be better, and it would look more sincere in the sense that they're really there to support their senpais, rather than self-promote, even if it's probably not their idea ><. I do like HSJ (in a closet kind of way because omg, they're so young -____-)

XDDD He's got that down good lol ♥ Haha I KNOW! I love that he wears his heart on his sleeve lol, because his expressions are so real. His big bright smiles around Kame always makes me grin lol.

[luna-rainbow.livejournal.com]

I love KT cos they all spoil Kame~~~ XDDD And I find it hilarious how Maru's always a bit annoyed at Jin but so tolerant of Kame.

Hahaha~ Yeah Kame was really fond of Yuto, but I'm not sure if it's still the case (when HSJ went on Kinki Kids' show, Yuto didn't name Kame as a senpai he admired). I think both Hikaru and Yabu really likes Kame too. I'm a closet HSJ fan too ^^;;;;;;;

Yeah...I think most fans were annoyed because so much of it was spent on promoting Yamashita. He not only went on during MC (and took up half the time), he was also there during encore. It was just such an obvious tactic, because no way it was a coincidence that he turned up on the day they were recording it. <-- At the moment rather annoyed at Yamashita for a number of reasons LOL.

I'm not sure what's up with HSJ singing either. Some people said it was so KT has time to get things ready for the next performance. It's annoying that KT is used as a vehicle for other debuted groups to promote themselves. Last year when Yamashita turned up, some of his fans were like "Oh, he's helping KAT-TUN with their sales." Like...hellooo?

[sun-ming.livejournal.com]

Lol I just love KAT-TUN for their unique ways of loving/putting-up with one another XD ♥ Kame especially haha~! Lolol so true~! Even when Akame team up, it's always Jin that receives Nakamaru's attacks/fury XDDDDDD ♥

I'm not sure... but I would like to think they still are haha. I think Kame gets along with most of the juniors though, and he seems to adore them all (and vice versa)~! ♥ I really want to see Kame more with Juri, Koki's little brother lol, since Kame seems to really adore him too XDDD ♥

Yeah, that was a little too much ><. I find it weird when the guests jump in too much with the concert ><. I mean, it's still KAT-TUN's concert right? >< Lol but very true with the very obvious tactic XD. Haha and I can kind of tell you're not much of a Yamapi fan XD.

Well I guess it would be nice to give KAT-TUN a bit of a break, but shouldn't that time be used for the juniors instead? So they can perform too? >< I don't really get how this works haha... so confusing~! But LOL to Yamapi helping the sales... XDDDD I'm pretty sure KAT-TUN can hold their own (even if their sales are declining ><), but still lol, KAT-TUN sales >>> NEWS sales, lol so I don't know how much it would have helped anyways, rotfl XDDDDD.

My Yamashita hate has been on and off for the last few years. For a while I did like him - enough that I actually sat through all of Code Blue (I can't stand his "acting", even during the period when I did like him), even though I pretty much watched that show because of Touda Erika. And you have to admit, PiXKame is adorable, if only because Kame is so shy and cringes when Pi makes his advances LOL.

But I just think he's a very inconsistent person. He's very good at dressing things up in a way that compliments himself. Last time he and Kame went karaoke with Fukuyama Masaharu (who adoooooores Kame so much it's so cute XDDD), and Fukuyama kept saying how Kame sang one of Fukuyama's own songs and he thought it was the best rendition he's ever heard...anyway, a few months later, Yamashita went on "Music Station" I think it was and said "I went with Fukuyama to karaoke" - completely omitting Kame, at which Tamori-san said, "Was that the time with Kamenashi?" And it was then that Yamashita (looking a little annoyed) said, "Yes."

And stuff like he made a mistake in a live performance, and he said "Kame sent me a message saying 'ah, now we're on the same footing'." (Kame made a mistake in another live earlier). But later when Kame was asked about it (probably "Music Station" too, can't remember), he said, "I saw Yamashita's message the next morning saying that he made a mistake."

...You get what I mean? The way Yamashita worded it was to suggest Kame was watching his show and was so interested in his activities...but it turns out that he was the one who sent out the message to Kame. And he keeps talking about how all these big senpais send him personal messages etc, but then you wonder...is it because he sends the messages first and they just reply out of politeness??

......There's so much stuff about him that really bothers me, not because they're bad (in the way that Koki being spotted with porn stars is bad), but because where you expect them to be bad, instead there's this giant media black hole where no one mentions a word. The thing a lot of people point out is - considering that Jin and Yamashita are such good buddies, what's up with every time something really bad happens - e.g. the AKB48 kerfuffle this year - Yamashita was always "he was too busy that night and he wasn't there" or he doesn't get mentioned at all, and it's always Jin who's thrown out to the dogs?

Gah, sorry, long rant LOL

[sun-ming.livejournal.com]

I actually don't really like Yamapi's acting very much at all ><. He doesn't do a very convincing job with his roles sometimes that touch me haha, and makes me think, "wow, he was like a completely different person" like Kame, and Yoko especially, have for me. And definitely, I have a very soft spot for Pikame. But sometimes I wonder if Yamapi initially only put up with it and tried to get along with Kame because he was expected to (and then they became a little closer because of it ><) or was it because he really wanted to. Lolol and during those moments where Yamapi teases Kame, sometimes, they felt too scripted to me, like it wasn't very natural ><, but they do look really adorable together.

But I do get what you're saying. And with that, to me, Yamapi is quite similar to Kame, in that they both realized that there's a lot they have to do to satisfy the fans, and to survive in the entertainment business. But while Kame has kind of eased out of it, the way he used to answer things and behave in a certain way because that's how he's "expected" to, he's become so much more relaxed now and more happy and smiley but still always thinking about the fans. Yamapi, on the other hand, it feels like he's still trying very hard to fulfill the expectations people have of him. I think he's always scared of being overshadowed because he's always been in the spotlight, so he works really hard to maintain his position there (though he's already so damn popular I don't know what he has to worry about ><).

I just think the main issue I have with Yamapi is he seems too robotic sometimes ><. I have kind of noticed how he does bring up a lot of things that kind of draw connections with him and his seniors, but unlike when Kame brings them up (maybe I'm just biased XD), Yamapi's feels more scripted and intentional ><. And the time they appeared on some show as Shuji to Akira... there was a guest (whose name I can't remember ><), but he mentioned going surfing with Kame and stuff, and I don't know lol, I kind of got the impression that Yamapi felt a little left out (or hurt), since he had worked with him before too but he didn't get the offer, and perhaps a little envious? Haha I don't know... perhaps I'm reading too deeply into things now, but I totally get what you mean.

And yes! The thing where KAT-TUN is always thrown to protect other people's messes... ugh... that annoys me lol. I've read so many theories and reports and it's just... well I guess it's the image KAT-TUN has. I hate that Jin is always the headliner, despite the fact that he's with his other friends (granted, Jin is really really popular, so it's probably more eye-catching), but I hate that JE doesn't seem to put up much of an effort in protecting KAT-TUN's image. I mean, some of these rumours are just... well, I see more colourful things written about KAT-TUN than I have with other groups/people (like Yamapi, and you'd think with his popularity, they'd dig hard to find something ><).

Lol I think my rant is almost as long as yours XDDDD.

But on a side note XD, I didn't know Fukuyama Masaharu adored Kame that much haha. Hearing Kame on his radio was quite possibly one of the greatest things ever XD (omg, the fans were so mean XD), and I kind of assumed they were on good terms lol, but I guess he really likes Kame too? Haha but I guess Kame gets along well with a lot of his seniors, and atuea what a great compliment to Kame, for Fukuyama to praise Kame's rendition of his own song ♥ (I love hearing things like this lol). I love people that love Kame~! XD ♥

[luna-rainbow.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not sure where exactly Fukuyama met Kame, but it's awesome cos Masha is so famous and well-respected. A lot of the senpais adore Kame and I think that's great, cos I can't imagine him as someone who sucks up to people, so it is most likely because of his careful courtesy and work ethics.

YEAH!! I'm glad you agree with me on Pi's acting!! His eyes are so......dead water. It was terrible because Code Blue came out the same time as Maou and it was just cringeworthy how baaaad Pi was compared with Leader (Ohno) and Toma. In case you didn't know, I adore Toma~ ♥ ♥

I really don't think it's cos I'm biased against Pi, cos I started off pretty meh about him, but he can't ACT, and he can't SING, and he doesn't seem to have a personality. I think the last isn't his fault because his whole image is manufactured by JE and he never gets to be as true to who he is as KT does. For a large part KT is very much un-JE-like, but I think that's their appeal ♥ NEWS and HSJ are so similar in their cheeriness it's nauseating sometimes.

[sun-ming.livejournal.com]

Haha definitely~! Kame doesn't seem like he'd intentionally do or say things to brown nose. He seems like he'd be so nervous and cute in front of his seniors lol (I loved it when Mabo from Tokio was imitating him on SCP rotfl XD ♥).

Lol dead water... XDDD But yes, his eyes definitely haha. They don't portray his feelings good enough, and I haven't watched all of Maou, but from what I've seen... Ohno's and Toma's acting is A++++++++++++++++++++++++ Haha I like Toma... he's so adorable ♥

Omg XD that's kind of freaky because that's exactly my problem with Yamapi XDDD. He hides too much of his personality I think (and I really agree with a comment someone made that Yamapi should be allowed to take a break like Jin so that he can really learn how to smile happily >< because he never looks really that happy on shows and stuff even when he's smiling), and I don't think he can really act very well (there are tons of better actors in JE ><), nor can he sing very well (not the worst, but there are definitely so many better ><) so I don't really understand why he's so popular beyond the fact that he can look hot sometimes XD. But I guess he does have charisma haha, so he reminds me a bit of Andy Lau (even if I'm a fan of the latter, I have to say he's not the greatest actor, nor singer, but damn he has a lot of charisma ♥).

Haha KAT-TUN... they're such a rebellious bunch. I love that they're all so individualistic and have their own roles in the group, but they know how to make things work. I'm not a huge fan of the really pop-ish feel some of the other JE bands have ><, so I love that KAT-TUN experiment and do lots of genres of music, constantly changing their sound and being so daring. ♥
