One of my fb friends had this up and I wanted to do it with KT songs...but I definitely was not going to put that on my facebook profile.  I have enough RL problems to deal with. ^_^;;

Anyway, here it is!

( Song Name Meme! )
I tried to do it without looking up songs, so it's from memory.  As you can see, there's a lot of Jin there. =D

And no, I'm not really back...I've got my Step 1 coming up (1st part of the U.S. licensing exam for medicine, for those of you who don't know), and I'll probably be back to MIA status once school is done in mid-May.  But I'll be silently stalking you all (because that's reassuring), and I'll try to get back in touch...sometime soon.  I hope. *sighs*

Hope you're all doing well!

P.S.  I can't stop watching the RESCUE PV.  Jin dancing.  Jin + Koki dancing.  And the Making Of video with them messing up non-stop.  lksdjfaldsf gah.  That PV stirs up embarrassing feelings in me.

( Code Blue + Yamapi rants, with some JE crit thrown in for good measure )

So now it's time for *drumroll*...A Meme!  Yay!  Ganked from becroberts , who got it frommaya_morning , who got it from God.  Or Johnny.  LOL.  Here it is:

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want (though I reserve the right to not answer or to answer evasively). Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including me) to ask you anything.

I'll answer anything except biodata that will allow you to stalk me. =P  But otherwise, anything goes - kinky, invasive, embarassing, politically incorrect, whatever.  Doesn't have to be about JE either - introduce me to new fandoms and ask me for opinions if you want?  Or just tell me to shut up, that always works well.  ;)


Jaa, itekimaasu~

Just watched the movie and, well, I just don't get it.  I love it (especially the parts when Yamapi gives the cops the finger.  The deadpan delivery is priceless.)  But seriously, what the heck is with the plot?  Watanuki?  Mikimoto?  Wtf?  And the interspersed moral crises and confrontations with Katsuragi...gah, it makes no sense!  Every time I think I've figured out what's going on, the whole thing gets turned on its head.

But Yamapi as Kurosagi is still really hot.

...is the frickin' cutest thing I've ever seen.  Koyama wins it for me, but everyone is just GAH.  I want to pinch their cheeks.  And that move Pi does at 0:34 is so perfect and so exactly what I would have done to the music there.  And Ryo holding all the presents at the end. XDDDDDDD

Here's the link


Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted, hasn't it?  *sweatdrops*  Well, if anyone's reading this, I'm trying to be better.  Unfortunately, school's just getting harder.  Who gave me the brilliant  idea to be a doctor, anyway?  I should have been a professional fangirl instead.  (And if those really exist, I might cry at the unfairness of it all.)

Just saw this short on YouTube and thought it was adorable:

STRUCK

Only to find out that the whole cast is made up of Scientologists.

I try to be fair to all religions, but Scientology really rubs me the wrong way, especially after I watched this interview with Jason Beghe, an actor who used to be a member:

The Jason Beghe Interview

After having watched this and having done a little research on the subject - minimal, since I couldn't stomach it for long - I'm slowly becoming convinced that it's kind of a cult.  And honestly, any religion that tells you "Pilot Inspektor" has a deep spiritual meaning has to be screwing with you.  I'm sure God has a sense of humor, but the universe can't be that much of a cosmic joke.


The worst part?  I just found out Jason Dohring's one of them too.  Why, Logan, why?!  T_T

LKEWFJLKADSJ. FSAFJSDILJDSOJFDSLIFJSIDFJ. OH MY GOD.

Kame is a Jrock superstar.  I love the hat.  And the eyeliner.  I want to take him home with me.  Jin and Koki too.

GAH.  I have no words.  But this is definitely worth coming back to JE fandom for.  Oh my god, the sex, OH MY GOD. XDDDDD

Excuse me, I need to put RL on hold.  I will be right back for the massive flailing. *__*  Lips PV, where have you been all my life?!

Ganked from insane-desire because I don't want to write up my lame-ass transcript for biochem.  Also an excuse to transfer my new songs to my desktop.  So here goes:


Dude, this makes no sense at all.  Also, I need to listen to more of my music - I think all the Arashi stuff is starting to get lonely. =3

Yay, a fic!  Inspired by Jin's ugggh sweater choice in the Keep the Faith PV.  Written while I should have been doing something else - as usual - and un-beta'ed - also as usual - so dear friends, please tell me if this sucks ass.  Well, maybe not in such harsh terms, but yes.  Anyway...yay, fic!  *is extremely pleased with herself*

Title: 5 Reasons why Jin wore that sweater (only reason 1 at the moment)
Pairing: Akame (only because they take up so much damn time that I didn't get to anyone else!)
Rating: PG-13 for mild swearing and even milder hints of naughty, naughty things.
Genre: Umm, romance? Though given that sweater, I'm pulling for horror.
Words: 954
Disclaimer: Not mine, though I do wish I owned that moment of Kurosagi that makes a guest appearance here.
Summary: Costume designers piss Kame off. Jin tries to make him feel better.
Author's Note: While Jin normally has bad fashion sense, that sweater in the Keep the Faith PV cannot NOT have a reason to exist. Since it probably doesn't, I've decided to make one up. Ideally, reasons 2-5 will follow. Also, no pron yet (though I might attempt to fill in that scene when I finally grow a backbone).

Will likely be x-posted to all the relevant comms (since obviously it is a BIG EVENT whenever I write a fic =P), so sorry if I briefly spam your f-list.  What, you don't want to read my fic 5 times in a row?  What's wrong with you?

Again, too lazy for paragraphs and am procrastinating as we speak, so notes form it is:



Overall impressions:

Nice video, even if the slo-mo was overdone.  The fire was silly, but the environment was cool.  Also, this being the first time I've heard the song all the way through, I actually really like it.  =D

Why Ueda wins the video:

His eyes are intense...honestly, he looks the most like he gives a shit.  And he very neatly balances his innate cuteness with that KT edge.  It's beautifully done.  Koki runs a close second only because the One True Gangsta act is starting to annoy me, and there are no cute moments with him that make me go all melty.  He's just hardcore kakkoi, all the time - which, honestly, we all know he's not.  But yes, 10/10 Ueda Tatsuya-san.  Keep up the good work! XD


*Random Note*

Sono egao boku ni misete by NewS is the loveliest new song I've heard.  I wish it were longer, and that the ending harmony were a little better, but damn, Ryo has a good voice when he chooses to use it well.  Also Yamapi and he harmonize very prettily.  It helps that I'm truly a sucker for a capella.  XDD

I was too lazy to make a full costume and too cheap to buy one, so I went to Party City after lab to pick up something quick and easy...and I swear, the place was JE heaven.  Pimp hats.  Feather boas.  I was like a kid in a candy store:  I wanted to buy everything.  For a moment, I understood what Johnny Kitagawa must feel like when he picks costumes (if he does).  My thoughts went something like this:

Oooh boas.  Ooh, that one's shiny.  Hmm, hats?  Yay, hats!  Hey, that one has fur and a CHAIN!  Ooh, that one's PURPLE.  With LEOPARD PRINT.  I wonder if my belt will work with this outfit.  Too bad I don't have leather pants.  Maybe I should get fingerless gloves.  Red hat and red and black boa.  Red hat and white boa?  Purple hat and red and black boa?  Do I need to match?  I wish I had cowboy boots.  Ooooh MASKS.


All I need is a pleather coat with faux-fur trimming and I could absolutely be Jin for Halloween.  I'm totally saving this stuff up for the next anime convention.  NO ONE WILL GET IT.

Mec, send me some plaid!  I can't be Jin without plaid!!!

Goddamnit, they've done it.  I'm officially in love with:

1) Jin (of course)
2) Oguri Shun
3) Ikuta Toma (and various other members of the HanaKimi cast)
4) ...damn it, Yamapi.  Yes, Yamapi.  See Kurosagi mini-mini-rant below

Fuck.  I blame Horikita Maki: clearly, I fall for anyone she's acted with.  And the stupid power quartet - I'm holding out on Shirota Yuu love, but it's bound to happen any day now.




Random ETA:  I honored Biochem too.  XD  I was worried about that, actually.  I guess I'm better suited for med school than I thought, ne?

I felt like crap today - sore throat, which is the way my annual sickness usually begins - so instead of being good and staying in the library, I went home to take a nap and watched Yukan Club instead.  =D  I may write this up coherently at some point, but I'm too lazy right now, so here's a laundry list of the crack that touched my heart.


I'm sure there's more, but my head's a bit loopy, so I think I'm going to go to bed.  Or watch this ep again, whatever. *g*

P.S.  So Crystal Kay is really good, guys.  She has a vaguely Janet Jackson air to her, but I'm slowly getting addicted to her music.  DBSK, on the other hand, is starting not to look as good - I'm not a big fan of their Japanese work so far, and I think their Korean stuff is much better.  I need to catch up on current Kpop, though, since I've been out of the loop for the past few months...

P.P.S.  I got Honors on my anatomy midterm. =D  Still waiting for Biochem to come back - it's going to take a while since they used board q's and so the board has to grade them and send them back, but I'm hoping it'll turn out well.  Jeez, I'm such a sneakily competitive person.  *shakes head*

Got this from quinnsan.  Too tired to comment about it, so see for yourselves. XD

quinnsan

Guys, I've read this fic before:

http://novemberchic.livejournal.com/21794.html#cutid1

I swear I have.  But all the comments are new.  Am I making this up?  Because I could swear that somewhere out there was a JE fic involving a list of steps to seduction.  I don't want to accuse anyone of plagiarism mistakenly...but I really don't think I'm making this up.  So does anyone else recognize this?  Is there an Akame fic out there - maybe written by one of you - with the same premise?  Or am I just going crazy?

Minna, mite:

You Are 32% Girly

You are a pretty hardcore tomboy, and a very free spirit. Gender roles be dammed, you like to do things your way.

Now, that's just not right...but I'm not exactly girly either. Is there a third option?


Also this:

Men See You As Desirable

Men often find you immediately attractive and sensual You're honesty is refreshingly beautiful ... it draws guys in You are also able to be open with your feelings with no emotional baggage Packing light means you enjoy new relationships easily

...ORLY.  Well, move out of the way girls, because clearly all your boyfriends?  WANT ME.  *snicker*


P.S. Junno's yellow hair is horrendous, but I love that the true purpose it served was to make all the fangirls rage over Jin not dying his hair pink. Oh, fandom. *shakes head*

...so I apologize.  And proceed to do it again.




I am in fandom heaven.  I'm going to play this file till I corrupt it.


Edit:  Forgot to include the links, so here they are:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1pmcRUrxt8      Six Senses + the ending of Shokura
http://hotakky.livejournal.com/26384.html      hotakky's divshare and sendspace links XD
http://tinyangl.livejournal.com/101647.html      tinyangl's megaupload and mediafire links  + FLAILING XDD


P.S.  Happy Birthday Maru.  Although it feels more like my b-day. XDD  Maru love!

Edit #2:   More flailing added.  This is what happens when I flip out at 4 in the am. ^_^;;

Okay f-list, who knows what the story is here?  It's not on kattunlove - no surprise there, I guess - and I really need to know.  It's crucial to my sanity.  So does Jin have a show, or is it some other JE that I don't care about?

Med school is like a whirligig.  I'm not sure I know what a whirligig is.  So yeah.

This is a laugh riot.

PAGE 6
Just look at Koki's face (4th down). He's barely recognizable! Might be because the pics are horrible.

Hehe, Nishikido-kun (3rd down)looks like a baby. Who knew such arrogance was to come in future years?


PAGE 1
Kame's hair (9th, last one)- Oh, poor baby. Well, you've learned since then, haven't you?


PAGE 2
Takki and Yamapi (7th and 9th). Holy shit, how old is this page?!


But where is Jin. Where is JIN?...oh. Oh, shit.

2nd down: Get a load of this.

You sexy motherfucker. It's warped that I actually mean that previous statement.


P.S.  Omg, Jimmy Mackey, your face is still round!  (And you're still a Jyannis.) [same page as Jin, 8th pic]

I got my external HD yesterday and omfg it is sooooo gorgeous.  500GB, baby: you know half of that will be filled once I've DLed all of KT ever.  Anyway, on to the story:

So I was converting Jin's height to inches* - something I do regularly to depress myself - and this was the 1st link below the converted number.

T-Kingdom Products - Breast Binders

170 cm / 5.57 feet. 121.2lb~132.2lb. 28-30 inch(71-76cm). 175cm / 5.74 feet ... 170 cm / 5.57 feet. 143.3lb~154.3lb. 34-36 inch (86-91.4cm). 175cm / 5.74 ...
www.t-kingdom.com/shopping/english/size.htm - 25k - Cached - Similar pages - Note this


It's a site advertising tranny clothing - specifically breast binders.  o_O  How did looking up a height conversion lead to this?  Is it a sly nudge about Bakanishi's affinity for dressing in clothing of the opposite sex?  I really don't get Google's strange, brilliant algorithm sometimes...


*Secret Fan Behavior Exposed!
P.S.  175 cm --> 68.8 inches -->  5'8" - 5'9".  So he's anywhere from 1 to 1.5 inches shorter than me.  I guess heels are out then, hmm?  But don't guys grow till they're 25 or something? ...~stares at self in horror~

P.P.S.  Seriously, this external HD is sexy as shit.

Edit:  They're all around 5'7-5'8, which I find a little weird.  Also, Maru and Jin are supposedly the same height, which cannot be true.  On the upside, it seems Jin's 176 cm, not 175 cm - so 5'9.  Much better, ne?

I think I may have to go over there and measure them myself...*g*

I'm putting a height list here fo my own reference since clearly I'm obsessed.  If it's wrong, let me know.  Or just point and laugh.  Whatever floats your boat. =)

In KT order!
Kamenashi Kazuya         172 cm (5'7.7)
Akanishi Jin                      176 cm (5'9.2)
Taguchi Junnosuke        180 cm (5'10.8)
Tanaka Koki                     171 cm (5'7.3)
Ueda Tatsuya                  171 cm (5'7.3)
Nakamaru Yuichi            176 cm (5'9.2)

This totally made my day.  As much as I love Ella in the tw-drama, I'm sure Horikita-san is going to make a much less fugly transvestite.  I totally need to watch this show.  Wheeee Hana Kimi!

P.S.  I think I'm back for real this time...but who knows what med school is going to do to my lifestyle?  We'll see, I guess. ^^
