1. Which Johnny band is your favourite?
嵐 OR News

2. Why?
嵐 because they are all perfect Johnnys. Super cute, funny, fail!tastic, distinct and loveable personalities and way catchy music.
NEWS because they are NEWS!! <33

3. Who is your favourite Johnny?
加藤成亮 and 相葉雅紀

4. Why?
Because Shige is… Shige? He fails in all the right ways and places, and his giant ego borne of lack of self-esteem issues makes him loveable instead of repulsive. Plus, he's very intelligent in some respects and I find it admirable.

Because Aiba is "special" and gooooorgeous. Plus, he loves animals, <333.

5. When was your very first contact with a Johnny?
The earliest I can remember is when my friend asked me "Do you know who Yamapi is?" and I said "Who?"
But the most significant was seeing an icon of Shuuji and Akira on LJ. Probably in… 2005 or 2006?

6. Who was it?
亀梨和也 and 山下智久 in 修二と彰

7. How did you know him?
…

Oh, JE. I procrastinated too long on this entry, and now I don't know whether its primary tone should be boredom, excitement, or WTF outrage.

Guess we'll go in chronological order, then.

Re: 嵐's new double single: I'm kind of... disappointed. 明日の記憶 has a pretty, artsy PV, but it's such a forgettable ballad; shades of シリウス, I'd like to say, except that I actually remember シリウス--and in シリウス's defence, it features quite a lovely Jun solo, which are three words I can very rarely use together. 明日の記憶... well, it's beautifully filmed, and the guys all look great, and no one is committing crimes against fashion. And Sho's solo is quite smooth and pleasant in that higher register, and makes me think he's really improving vocally, though his solo in the AAA 2008 素晴らしき世界 is still my uncontested favorite (and gorgeous.) But, well, I think I do like シリウス better, and シリウス, if you recall, was an album track. Meanwhile I still can't remember what this A-side sounds like.

君に願いを is such a sad song. I think it's my favorite from Miyavi.

I haven't written here in forever XD I should write more, as this seems like the more appropriate place to randomly babble about the crap I listen to X3

Songs I Recommend 83
Obviously Miyavi's 君に願いを
Arashi's Happiness
Son Ho Young's 하늘에 내 마음이
J's Back Line Beast
(his singing is kinda rough, but this song is just instrumental haha X3;;;)

I recommend Son Ho Young in general because he was AWESOME at the Korean Music Festival ^3^
