Okay minor rant here...

I just want to let everyone know who is running around terrified at not being able to post files without 'permission' or who says they're 'not allowed' to share a file that that's all BS!!

Take TV shows like MS/MF/PJ/etc - they played openly on Japanese television. Same thing with PVs and Doramas, etc...No-one had to get 'permission' to watch them or tape them or put them on their computer or share them with their friends. The only people who own any rights to these shows are the original TV stations and artists themselves.

Your computer is like your TV. You're receiving these 'files' to watch on it. Don't think of these as 'files'. These are TV shows. FREE for you to watch and redistribute just like when you taped that show for a friend who missed it on TV in whatever country you're in. Did you care they didn't tell everyone who comes over to their house who gave them the tape? Last time I checked no-one I knew cared. The point was you were happy to get it to your friend. Right?

And don't give me this 'I spent so much time getting them and ULing them'. You pushed a button and it's your poor overworked comp that did all the work transferring all the bytes. You walked away and got yourself a sandwich, came back and posted a link.

Ooooh...scary stuff...


Have I gotten things and posted them? Yes. Do I care that someone took them and posted them without going "Spacebunnygirl posted it first."

Not really.

Because I don't own these things.

I repeat the only ones who own them are the original artists and producers, etc...who originally created them. And I don't think we want to get them involved or we'd all be shut down and no-one would get ahold of these absolutely fabulous artists material.

So don't act like you OWN these things because you DON'T!

It won't load half of the sites. To even get anywhere I have to click on the link atleast twice and then it gives me a blank page and I have to click back and try the link again. Unless I go to my basic search page between sites it gets stuck on sites that I'm on. It won't let me open a second window...Posting comments on LJ requires trying to post a comment - it of course doesn't connect - which leaves the 'post' button inoperable - which means having to go to the main jounal of who I'm posting to and finding the entry and trying it all again....

Grrrrrrr.....

Even rebooting the computer doesn't help!

And can someone tell me how deleting almost 500 MBs worth of things off of my hard drive = suddenly being a gig lower in memory than before I deleted???


Ashdeha - did we miss each other? I was on Aim and didn't see you last night. ;_;

I'm beginning to feel left behind by the crowd right now....

Ah! Someone requested a pic of my Pikachu camera - so here it is!!

Isn't it the cutest thing!! For anyone who doesn't know I have this minor Pikachu obsession. I have key chains, jewelry, plushy's of all kinds, 2 backpacks a little mini-clock...a framed picture...uhm...a pikachu talking spoon...lots of pikachu stuff! And yes! I do have MassuPiku vs Hello Kitty!! Because Hello Kitty is a new obsession of mine. ^O^

NEWS - Who Sings What - Part II
This update was supposed to include more songs but wacky me lost the notes I had on News Nippon and Kibou Yell! Grrr...And those are complicated songs to follow too!! So here you have an abbreviated version. Still more News songs coming up!

YamaPi -Ya
Koyama -Ko
Kusano -Ku
Shige - Ka
Masuda -Ma
Tegoshi - Te
Ryo - Ryo
Uchi -U
Moriuchi - Moriuchi

Why does Ryo get his full name in there? Well I don't think anyone was going to understand who NI was...and his first name can't get any shorter...:P

Okies so the really cool manager at work just gave her two week notice ;_; - and the >< one supposedly went on vacation a week ago - and hasn't been back since. << >> We've had 2 other managers from other branch stores coming in to run everything and tomorrow will make it 3... help

[info]ashdeha I keep missing you on AIM!! I've managed to get on at our regular time but you weren't on. ;_; I left a message for you on Y!M

[info]yuki_hotaru Have you managed to get your AIM up and running?

[info]seinenteiDid you see the reply I did to our last comment. I really kind of need to know the answer.

[info]__laika__ Hope you enjoyed Special Guest Star Sub!! Oh! And to answer an earlier question - I haven't been able to get a Sukiyanen single at all yet. My paychecks keep getting eaten up. :(


Kinki Kids is going to have a new album! Yaaaaaaaaaah!! Anyone else still obsessed with Biroo no Yami?? *raise your hand - you know you are*


3 days to 1 Liter no Namida....

For those who want to see Kame in Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo I do know someone who has it for DL - a little tricky to get all the pieces - but just ask and I'll post the link!!

Yakusoku is still set to air some time this month...as far as I know...but I've yet to see a real date set.....*frustrated*

Minna!! Hello hello!! *hugs hugs hugs*

I miss talking to everyone so much. :(

Thank you everyone for the congrats on the new job! What's the new job? I'm working at a children's apparel boutique. Which seemed like a really nice place 3 weeks ago...before the two really awesome managers who interviewed me were transferred - and the other quit without warning. Which left us two assistant managers who weren't trained how to run all the ins and outs of the store...O.o One of them is pretty cool. The other is...><

But enough about me!

I just found out that the reporter involved in the "incident" is going to be making her come back on November 1 with a new show!! And yet no announcement has been made regarding Uchi's return...does anyone else find this just a tiny bit unfair?? We were all hoping to see him back in October. But if FujiTV just made the news with the reporter coming back is Johnny going to hold him back till after November then??? ;_;

And some magazine actually went to Osaka to interview Uchi!! It's apparently a gossip magazine (週間女性) and I hear Uchi was very polite - but refused to talk about the incident because he can't without permission from 'the company'. Well of course he can't talk about it!


I'm jumping up and down waiting for 1 Liter of Tears to start!! I'm soooo excited about this. I hope the DL speed will be better than Ganbatte. I still don't have the last 3 episodes of that!! ;_;


*hugs hugs* again!!

But I just got a new job within the past few days with an hour commute to and from and on top of that the internet company is doing something weird and took away my internet for like 3 days straight. >< Finally tonight it's working!

[info]__laika__ Still in Japan and enjoying yourself I see! ^__^ Should've gotten down on my hands and knees and begged a copy of the limited edition of "Sukiyanen" off of you while you were there. ~_^ Have fun!!!!!

[info]lintzu - Haven't seen you at all recently. I hope that you're okay!! *hugs*

[info]hidemi - You've been so quiet! No posts since the 10th! O.o Hope to that everything's just good busy with you in comparison to badness. ^^



Missing seeing News...:( They haven't done anything as NEWS since like July...Rumours that there's a new single in the works...it'd be about the right time as TEPPEN was released in June...But just don't want to see 7 like we had to with K8...

No more K8 performances listed for awhile that I've been able to find...going through Mugendai withdrawl as I haven't seen one since Early august....what have they been up to there recently?

EDIT: K8 to perform on the 11th of October:

Uchi is in K8's 2006 calendar on sale now!!

Maybe I missed it and its been on sale for awhile and everyone's going to tell me 'like duh' -- But it's news to me!!

and am waiting to see what someone can tell me about how official the products there are...I was told it was a bootleg before I found the link to the store...so I'll keep you posted on what I find out or you can keep track of it too over in the [info]kanjani8 community! ^_^


And NO amid all this I have not forgotten about Subaru's Bday video or card! But because of corporate America I might not be able to get on in time to post everything. >< No time left today - nor much time tomorrow that can be seen. I'll do what I can!

Subaru fan vid - Overlooking Purposefully
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B99L25V3


Okay - I have to admit. This is the first time that I have ever made a video with having absolutely no clue as to what is being said in the song. And I just know that someone on my friends list is going to know exactly what the song is about and is going to go "Why did you make a video to that???" *blush*

Well to be honest I loved the name as it was translated to me. "Overlooking Purposefully" Just seemed a good name for a Subaru video - and then I loved the beat of the song. So I really do apologize if it makes no sense if you understand the words.

*_*

Oh - for those who can't use MegaUL I'll post a YSI to it along with my normal Bday card for the bday guy tomorrow!!

So like do you know that no-one made a fan video for Yasuda's bday?? There are atleast 4 for Uchi - including my own posted below *cough* So I made one for him! :P

And I admit - the entire inspiration for this video was the spoken lines at the beginning of the song. Listen everyone. *Puts hand to ear* ROFL It's fun up beat and has a gratuitous amount of sexy guitar playing by our lovely Yassan.

Yasuda fan video - Jounetsu Yuki Miraisen:

(I did have it on MegaUL but it ate the link. >< I'll upload it again there so it doesn't vanish into YSI oblivion.)

And of course I had to make an Uchi video. This one is much more serious than Yasuda's but I was in a sad mode while making it.

After Satoshi of Arashi (which - when I first heard of them had no concept of 'Johnny's' or 'Jimusho' I thought it was you know - Arashi) but after that when I became aware that there were other groups besides Arashi - Uchi and Koyama were instantly my faves...so it is kind of like First Love, ne?

And - yes - there is a Subaru one in the works. :P His is bound to be random and crazy because well...that's TEH Sub for ya! ^O^


[info]hidemi - I love how you begin your video! How unexpected. ^O^ and set to Eden! One of my all time favourite K8 songs!!! *dies* What a great K8 song to choose! And so much in the video that I'd never seen before! Sugoi!

[info]yuki_hotaru - Oh my gosh I'd forgotten just how cute he was when he was performing with JWest!!! You get so used to seeing him how he looks now - so mature and sweet. But he was so kawaiiii!


Oh oh!! And Koyama said Happy birthday to Uchi in his JWeb posting!!

He said "I want to sing you Happy Birthday song so call me!"

Kawaii!!! (of course he didn't say his name but you know who he was talking about!)

Poor NeWs hasn't had much of a chance to show their support for Uchi the way K8 has. They don't have a particular colour to wear and they really haven't had any public performances of late where they could do anything to show how much they're missing him too. Let's all hope he's back by the their next single!! I want him back to perform Sukiyannen!!!!


K8 on MS Sep 9th...

What isn't there to say about this performance!! I could dedicate an entire entry to this one!! From the pudding incident to Yu forgetting to hold up his smiley sun at the last chorus. Shingo constantly correcting them "Kansai! Kansai!" and Sub just screaming "OSAKA!" randomly. The audience with smiley sun wrist bands and necklaces and "How old are you?" ^O^

It was absolutely the best!! How in the world are they going to top it? Maru! Maru!!! Tell someone else Jikan Gire this week!!!

Okay - I had this crazy idea - since this is a triple K8 bday month and their new single is going to be released all around the same time - I was wondering if anyone else would join me in a little K8 fun. I'm going to send a card to the three birthday boys - and I'm making it the Sukiyanen smiley sun! Was inspired after seeing someone's adorable recreation! (I know I saw it in the last 3 days but now I can't find it!!!!!!!!! If you were the one who made the adorable recreation - it's kawaaaaiiiii!)

I just thought it would be cute if they received a bunch of these for their bdays. (Not that they'd probably get them by then - but hopefully they'd see them eventually!) Well whether they do or not I'm sending mine in. :P

Anyone else want to join in? I'll give you the JE Fanclub address for them. (think we should mark the outside of the envelope with the sun too?)

If you think I'm nuts that's okay too. :P

But for those with the need for random Johnny's factoids here's an interesting one for you. The top JE earners (salaries estimated) in 2004.

I am in love with Sukiyanen Osaka!! The video and the recent MS performance. :P And I can't wait to see more! Those guys never fail to make me smile. But poor Maruyama needs to get to introduce himself next time! ^__^ We <3's the craziness of Maruyama! I'll talk more about this and my obsession with Magical Summer later. :P

And yes, for those who haven't visited my journal recently - there is a new layout. It switched twice before arriving at this one and I have plans already for another. I kinda like this one. It's cheerful and different. :)

Wow look - I do post during the daytime sometimes...

News are busy boys when it comes to acting these days.

YamaPi is of course in the drama DragonZakura

Ryo is in Ganbatte Ikimasshoi and very soon will have a second drama 1 Liter of Tears

Ryo and Uchi are (at present knoledge) both still in the K8 drama Yakusoku scheduled for a Kansai only release this fall - with any luck Uchi will have returned by then and they won't remove his part from the drama)

Tegoshi was in 15 Sai no Blues

and now if rumour holds true Massu, Tegoshi, Shige, and Kusano have their own 4 part drama Ie ga Tooi (Distant House/Home) It starts airing Sep 14 and is about 4 High School boys hanging out on the streets because they don't want to go home. Interesting, ne? This will be Kusano's debut as an actor.

For those wondering where the clips of Koyama being kissed by the girl come from I have it on fairly good authority that that was a quick guest starring role in a Kyoko Fukuda/Nagase Tomoya drama - I haven't gone looking for it yet on D Addicts but it is listed on J Dorama.com (Koyama is not listed in the cast but it seems that was his only scene in the show so I'm not surprised) 彼女が死んじゃった - My Life After Her Death

Kanjani 8 will be appearing on Music Station this week! So look for them! yaaaaah!

I sooooo wish I could have gone to see Magical Summer!! It looked like it was so much fun!!! And of course I'm a true sucker for Shakespeare.

And [info]azarashi you were right! Yokoyama is a woman in the play. And not just any woman - He plays Shingo's mother!!! O.o

I sooooo wish I could see more of Okura and Yasuda as the fairies!!! I am soooo hooked on their cuteness from the few pics I've seen!!

Anyone else catch K8 Tsuushin this week? It's up for grabs at Jpop suki - Haven't listened to it yet but the description says they discuss what kind of presents they'd get their girlfriends on their birthdays. ~_^ Shingo/Yoko/Maru/Okura are the guests - well I actually think Shingo hosts it. :P If you can't use/just hate jpop suki ( :P ) I'll up it for anyone who wants it. ^^

Just about a week ago the granddaughter of a wonderfully kind elderly lady my family has known for awhile was murdered just 4 doors up the road and the house burned down to cover it up. ;_;

And at the grocery store where I shop 2 of the guys who collect carts were gunned down in the middle of the day by some sicko. ;_;

Yeah - I'm feeling safe.

[info]__laika__ two things - 1) Yes I am getting the last pieces of that Mugendai for you - >< You will have them - Only 2 more pieces to go...I'm feeling really bad about this taking so long. :(
2) That SC I mentioned is in .DAT format...do you want it sent that way or do you want me to convert it to an Mpeg before I send it?

[info]ashdehaI did see you on AiM - But I'm not sure my hello went through?? My comp is supposed to be like super fast - but using YSI and MegaUL make it act just loopy. And if I add BT to that mix I can't even save pictures without it freezing on me. I hope to talk to you again soon!!

[info]lintzu Can I get on my hands and knees and beg Shingo and Yoko off of you to finish my collection?


New LJ layout is coming in 4 days. *hugs* to Koyama but he's going to be disappearing for awhile. He's still my #1 but I had plans for the next month for awhile now.


Oh - quick question - Can anyone confirm if these are the lyrics to Dreamin' Blood? I got them off of a SC performance and wanted to double check because I'm using them for something -

[info]ashdeha - I miss you!! I hope your computer gets fixed fast!!

[info]omgfangirl - Wonder how her trip is going so far...she's only going to be about 6 hours away from me on a few of her stop overs and I can't even go see her. ;_; It's going to be so quiet on my friends list without seeing her constant pic spamming and the ultimate wrongness of her posts! LOL But I love her anyway!

[info]seinentai - I see that the airline strike happened in Detroit. Please get home safely!!

[info]sakusaku - You seem to be having a good trip so far! Keep having fun and of course you must give us Kei updates! *hugs*


Ugh...my BT connectivity has totally sucked of late. Things with like 40 seeders I'm lucky to be getting 7kbps!! >< It should be moving alot faster than that! And I've only a couple of hours per night to BT so it can take a long time to get things. If the seeders are generous that is and stay long enough for me to. *sigh* *envies people who can just leave BT running all day long.*


Thoughts on Ganbatte Ikimasshoi )


Sukiyannen, Osaka! Will be out Sep 14. I find this interesting as the last I had heard Mugendai was going to be their next single to be released in Oct...Move it up a month with a completely new song as the A side...Omoshiroi...Do I hear his voice in the 49 sec clip as others have said? Sometimes it sounded like yes other times no - but as all you hear is chorus that's the way it runs with songs. Sometimes they bring out one voice or another - so I'll reserve judgement. Mochiron I am in complete agreement with those that say to release this single only 4 days after Uchi's birthday would be overly harsh.

I think with a 7.2 Earthquake and a super Typhoon being watched off the shore of Japan that most people have bigger things on their mind in Japan than whether or not Uchi returns to the stage. Which of course in one way is a good thing. Also I do believe Ganbatte will be close to ending by then - I'm going to assume that it only had 9-11 episodes and as we'll be on 7 this week - 8 - 9...about 9 or 10 by Sep 14 it means that everything that he was associated with prior to July 15th will be out of the way...

And apparently Ryo has been dropping hints again in his Jweb diaries...or so I've read on other journals - but I haven't seen it yet...

Oh - I did promise to post Ryo's original Random "Ganbare Uchi" secret message for some people so here's the link to it:

http://www.tanteifile.com/geinou/scoop_2005/08/08_01/index.html

credit to the obsessed Ryochi fans of Idolthoughts. ^__^


I've got some ULing to go and do again. What's one thing I keep getting asked for? Hands down it's the TEPPEN PV - I get asked for that ALOT!

Ah - for [info]je_express this week I've got a Flashback Fever post! How about Ryo as like the cutest little munchkin performing "Secret Agent Man" with Satoshi and Sakurai of Arashi in what looks like pre-debut days? Or YamaPi with the 4 tops back in 2000? Maybe even some Tsuyoshi/Koichi circa 97-98?
