heart283

Okay, I like Imai Tsubasa. I like him best as half of the JE duo Tackey & Tsubasa, ~~but that isn't really happening lately~~ :( When I originally wrote this, that is. Yay for the TakkiTsuba Matsuri concert tour and November 2010's "Ai wa Takaramono"! But anyway, that's what "heart283" is all about. Tsubasa (or, you know, somebody...) made his name into a number: two-ha(chi)-sa(n).

Also.... I'm not really obsessed with Tackey & Tsubasa, Kanjani 8, Arashi, Tokio, Kinki Kids, and most Johnny's groups. Really, I'm not.

Even though I got this LJ account just to follow their communities, even though I spend WAY too much time ~~and money~~ on this instead of, you know, work and real life, I'm not obsessed. I'm not.

So now it is June 2012, and I finished grad school, and still spend too much time & $ on jpop. But it does make me happy.
And TakkiTsuba 10 year anniversary! And Eito's 8 year anniversary! Yay.

Hey, doesn't that look like Kouta with the watermelon ball next to Inoo in this 05-06 Junior calendar?

I've been watching Tsuba con '09! And 5 years later, I am still bemused by Tsubasa in a cow-patterned duster coat and leather mini-skirt. Quite the unique guy is he! My idol. XD
The thing I hate about Avex concert videos - I noticed this with TakiTsuba and V6 (and I think Kisumai, but I don't remember as well) is that the director or editor seems to feel the need to change camera angle every three seconds. It seriously interferes with my trying to watch the back dancers. I love most of their album photo shoots, though. The booklets are pretty. Videos, not so much. Meh, I still buy 'em, though!

( D&R THEY Budou pics! )

One more pic from the A version dvd. Ryu in the corner, then a bunch of Juniors I don't know. orz

Arena cake A

So, instead of doing something productive like ripping this DVD, I semi-watched it/had it playing while I did other non-productive stuff. But I spotted young TH of THEY Budou! (This from the off shot C disc.) And in the BEST TOUR concert disc, I forgot about Tsubasa kissing this uchiwa (what was it doing there anyway?) during the TakiTsuba call. lol... Well, it was a fun diversion, but still another whole concert disc to watch. Haven't seen Eru's gif part yet, but a) I haven't been watching that closely and b) any non-T&T shots are mostly EbiKisu or FiVe. I did see a split second of young Miyadate from SnowMan, though.

But hey! I wrote a journal entry this year!XD

Not new like 8EST, but new to me. I got Tsubacon! I _think_ I've seen/heard clips, but never the whole thing.

Tsubasa and FiVe doing an acoustic-ish version of Ikiteru Akashi. Tsubasa sounds so young! Still sexy, but cute, too. His voice has definitely improved over time.

I took screenshots from the Offshot clip, because I couldn't get a good shot of the concert. Only the Plan-b guys are visible with Tsu, but Gakki is there, in his usual top-left position.

Edited to remove broken pic.

I was sorry they didn't get #1 in the music dvd chart this week.

Ohkura has restarted Kurasumasu on j-web! Angel

enshinge is translating on her journal! The subtitle is hilarious: you and me and sometimes white rice.

This Janiben with Kawakita Mayuko was just too funny. The English confessions, of course, but also Subaru funny being harsh, and Hina yelling at the audience. XD
From 2012.10.11 Janiben.
First Ryo with his impression of an American.

Then Ohkura stumbles out with his version:

And finally, Maru, to the tune of Queen, "We Will Rock You"!

With credit to en on Twitter again, this was Subaru's birthday cake from the Subaraji staff. XD So cute!

And yes, this still amuses me, too!

Yes, it's silly, but KenTackey&TsubaSando on the KFC cm cracks me up.

HEY! HEY! HEY! Sad to see that show ending.
Caps stolen from Twitter post of

Some of these are truly scary! XD But they amuse me.

I'm excited for T&T's anniversary album and the promotion that's going along with it. Friday's Music Station was fun! And there was a cm for the album. There was also a mention on CDTV from 12.08.25.

Music Station - 2012.08.31.mkv_snapshot_43.09_[2012.09.01_19.46.05]

Music Station - 2012.08.31.mkv_snapshot_43.09_[2012.09.01_19.46.05]

And the Birth Year Songs corner had chibi T&T!

And then Eito's Aoppana single is coming even before T&T!

Totally cute for Eito's Dome Concert Tour!

From Eito Confessions

Aaaand.... just a couple of weeks after my rant about the general public not recognizing Sakamoto Masayuki (V6's leader) as the best singer in Johnny's, comes the same question posed to Eito in the zolotte 7 part of Shiwake Eito!

cookiesmon posted this on her tumblr. Bless her! :)

In Johnny’s, who do you think is good at singing?
Hina - Matchy
Subaru - Domoto Tsuyoshi (KinKi Kids)
Okura - Sakamoto Masayuki (V6) Maru - Domoto Tsuyoshi (KinKi Kids)
Yasu - Nagase Tomoya (TOKIO)
Ryo - Sakamoto Masayuki (V6)
Yoko - Sakamoto Masayuki (V6)

Okay, truthfully, I forgot my rant, too. lol... I was thinking DoTsu.

Wow, my last entry was about 8Uppers, which seems so long ago.
Randomly, I feel like posting this poll I saw on tokyohive.com here:

Which you Johnny's Entertainment talent sings the best?
It was just recently asked, “What is the best Johnny’s Entertainment TV program?“, and this time fans were asked to name the Johnny’s Entertainment talent that sings the best.

The poll was based on not just image alone, but on the talent’s

singing ability, MC chops, and performances during a live. Whether it be
a ballad, rap, or up tempo song, it covers a broad range of styles.

Did your favorite Johnny’s talent make the top 10?

Check them out below!

10. Sakurai Sho (Arashi) / Akanishi Jin
09. Takizawa Hideaki (Tackey & Tsubasa)
08. Ninomiya Kazunari (Arashi)
07. Matsumoto Jun (Arashi)
06. Yamashita Tomohisa (NEWS)
05. Kamenashi Kazuya (KAT-TUN)
04. Shibutani Subaru (Kanjani∞)
03. Masuda Takahisa (NEWS)
02. Tegoshi Yuya (NEWS)
01. Ohno Satoshi (Arashi)

Who are these Goo people?!?! How can DOTS and Masa-nii (or whatever Sakamoto's nickname is) be missing from this list?!?!? Was there an age limit? I guess its possible that "young" means 30 and under. But seriously, Domoto Tsuyoshi is only 32. Just wondering....

Well, I don't get to watch the 8Uppers Tour tonight. Better be tomorrow, DHL! >___< WAAAH!!!
