i recently learned about nyc...nyc boys that is...

n=nakayama yuma
y=yamada ryosuke
c=chinen yuri

i'm familiar with hsj...since i'm an arashi fan, perhaps among the hsj, i am most familiar with chinen...yeah, i find some of them cute...but since i like older guys, my interest in them is low...they are fun...but with them being too many in the group and younger, i do not really know who the members are...

recently, i'm watching news concert over and over and i've noticed how yamada ryosuke would always be the one next to nishikido ryo (e.g. passing out of souvenirs)...since i like ryo, i got curious about yamada...he's starring out in a mini-drama with ryo, he's a cutie...and he seems not to be growing older or anything in the past two concerts of news...

so i learned about nyc boys... i just thought that it is a sub-unit of hsj...something like the sub-unit of v6 and eito...only to realize that it is a temporary unit that will be supporting the volleyball (something done by arashi, news, and hsj)...if i'm not mistaken, news should have been a temporary unit as well...

so i have various questions...
1) will it be a temporary group?--given the billboard adds and the members, i would not be surprised if it would have lots of fans...lots and lots of fans
2) what will happen to hsj?--hsj has been silent for some time now...of course they are students but...
3) what's so special with nakayama yuma?--i find it weird that he has debuted as 'nakayama yuma with b.i. shadow'...it's like the singer and the back-ups...also, why was he again included with nyc...from what i've read, he's talented...but i don't really know anything about him...i'm not bashing him or anything but i just wanna know more about him...many have said that johnny favors him, so i wonder why? they say he's a 15yr old with a voice of 20yr old...when i heard him sing, i'm not impressed...(for me ohno satoshi, tegoshi yuya, and masuda have impressive voice, ohno's dance is impressive...he's multi-talented)
4) what is the role of bi shadow?--besides the fact that in the performances, they are like johnny's junior in a sempai concert, the camera don't zoom in on them even in the pv, nothing were made to make bi shadow special as an individual and as a unit (at least that's how i see it)...also what is it about the name? the name if it's an individual group, sure...but nakayama yuma with bi shadow? i find it weird, it's like it's too long or something

---as i listen to the nyc song...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynzE_SdWmsA
---i like it, it's addicting
---chinen's voice...no longer the ultra music power...i can't judge it since the vocals in the song is usually mixed...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84v5QyaXpiA
---who really sang the nyc? in this performance, yuma is not present, bi shadow is present....in the akuma no koi performance, which i believe is nakayama yuma and bi shadow's song, in that performance it was yamada, chinen, bi shadow, and hikaru who sang the song...in the pv, it focuses on nyc but there seems to be some boys (i assume to be bi shadow) who are differentiated from others...

it's really weird...

yamashita and nishikido are well-known, so why not 'yamashita, nishikido, and news' or 'yamashita and news'...

hmmm...

yamada and akanishi have some similarities...

again i'm not bashing anyone or anything...i'm just curious and perhaps concerned with hsj...i kinda find it unfair for bi shadow as well (but of course i don't know anything)...nonetheless, i like the song of nyc and nyc boys especially that yamada and chinen are there...i still have to know about  nakayama...

i just changed my layout...since i'm really lazy doing such things as this, it's an accomplishment :)

definitely i won't be able to change my layout to this one without the help of annaxryo , without her, i won't have this layout and i won't be able to customize my layout...

thanks...i wonder when i can change my userpic...lol

thanks again annaxryo  for the wonderful ryo layout and also of the instructions  that you have simplified...

yatta, ryo!

it was around september and i realized that i need to watch japanese drama and listen to japanese music because it's been two years since i had a three semesters of japanese class...and i need to finish the last level as a requirement...

eventually i landed on arashi's love so sweet and wish...i was criticizing it--it's weird, gay, and the dance steps are abnormal (i'm used to bsb, n'sync, boyzone, and the likes)

but i got stuck...

i eventually learned of news through week...it's addicting...i saw cherish, hoshi wo mezashite...i like yamapi...when i saw proposal and nobuta, i was like he sings, he dance, he acts...so that's an idol...i got to know other johnny's...but i stuck with arashi all the more when i saw yamapi in an-an (i know there's jun, but it doesn't matter, he's my last choice in arashi)...i kinda like ryo but i just choose to stick with arashi...i also listen to other johnny's like hsj, kat-tun, and smap and other japanese singers, but my priority for arashi is really high with a gap to the next band, which is news...

forward to present...i'm addicted to ryo...and ryopi...arashi is still my ichiban but news and kanjani8 now follows in the rank...sho was actually my ichiban but with ryo *^_^*....i realized that ryo looks like fujiki naohito,who is probabaly the first japanese actor that i got attracted to...i also realized that i like hardworking people and people who are not afraid of the status quo; thus, i like sho...and ryo...i seem to deem ryo as a person who is not showy but sweet in his own ways...

before, i wonder if the rumors that sho is one of the favorites of johnny-san is true...now i wonder if johnny-san also favors ryo, given that he is into two bands...i'm sure the two bands have some interanal kind of arguments because of ryo being into two bands...watch the countdowns and see ryo...i pity ryo but at the same time i find it funny...gambatte ryo

i just saw this video earlier...it's arashi and ryo...ryo is so small...but just as great...i would love to see a collaboration of arashi and news in the future... more ryopi...more ryo...lol

i'll now listen to code...

just this morning, i checked the livejournal entries...i was surprised because yesterday evening, there were no news about it...also i was wondering why there are no announcement about their concert...it's really silent given that it's their tenth year...last year, they have announced their concerts around april or may...kat-tun and kanjani8 have both held their concerts for this year...

surprise surprise...

not only do they have various concerts, about 15 in all...including 3 in kokuritsu...approximately 760,000 seats for the concerts
they have a new album as a compilation of their songs from 1999-2009 with about 42 songs for the LE and 32 for the RE...the LE includes not only the unknown song but also a 10 page booklet...

not only that, as of this time, hmv has not yet listed this in their site...yesasia has just listed it up and yet, cd japan has already an "out of print" indicated for the LE link...

arashi is really making an arashi...lol nonetheles, happy tenth year anniversary to arashi...gambatte ne ^^
