secretofflora@hotmail.com — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 13:17:34 GMT

Ne? Took it from pinkujisatsu . Long meme but quick answers cause I love NewS anyway ^^.

Warm Up
1. That you’re doing this, we can assume you like NEWS at least some. Would you consider them your favorite Johnny’s Entertainment group?
Fave! Absolutely, completely favourites!!! I wouldn't care for Jyanniz if it weren't for them in the first place ^^.

2. Can you name all 6 current members?
El Capitan Yamapi, Ryo-chan, Koko, Shige, Massu and Tegolino.

3. What about the 2 not currently around?
Uchi-kun and Kusano.

4. Ninth who left a long time ago?
Moriuthingthing. I like his new band actually ^^.

5. How did you learn about NEWS?
By Yamapi. And Sayaendou (which means by One Piece ^^). I started watching Nobuta and just after My boss My hero. And it was the same moment when Sayaendou was out with One Piece movie n°7 ^^. So total convergence in a way.

6. What was your first impression of NEWS?
What the hell are those clothes o_O?!!!!!

7. How did you come to like NEWS?
Instantly I have to say. Sayaendou was such a catchy song and then, I totally loved Yamapi's role in Nobuta wo produce.

8. What do you think is NEWS strongest point when compared to other JE/music/talent groups?
Their voices. I know, I know they can sing off key sometimes but I still think that with work they can achieve big things in that matter. Look at their last album ^^. Oh also, I like how they took their time for everything and in a way, as odd as it seems, their hiatus was one of their strongest point. When they came back, we/they knew that it was because they actually wanted it and not only because Kitagawa wanted it.

9. What do you think is NEWS weakest point when compared to other JE/music/talent groups?
They need more time to do things. Everything is slower when it comes to NewS. This is why I'm not worried about the tv show, they will have one. But it will take more time too ^^. It's just that they do so much individually...

10. Are you listening to them right now?
No, I'm not on my computer so I don't have music right now ^^. Also is my cousin singing counted as music? I bet not XD.

Music Related
11. Do you enjoy NEWS’ music?
A lot. I'm a pop-whore ^^.

12. What are your 5 favorite NEWS songs? (Released on CD or not)
That's horrible!!! Based on my itunes, I should say Ai Nante, Izanazuki, Fiesta, Sayaendou and Weeeek ^^'.

13. What’s your all time favorite solo song?
Massu's Akatsuki. Pumpkin is also very very dear to me :).

14. What music genre do you consider NEWS?
Pop. Ah ah, I love the light reggae song in Pacific ^^. They should do that more often ^^. Could be fun ^^.

15. What Japanese song would you love to hear NEWS do a cover of?
Japanese song? I fear that I'm not enough expert in that matter. I do love the song "Popstar" from Ken Hirai and the lyrics fits in a way so it would be wicked cool ^^.

16. What nonJapanese song would you love to hear NEWS do a cover of?
Time is running out by Muse. Don't ask, I just really want to hear them on that particular one. I just know who could sing which phrase and all and it fits totally in my mind XD.

17. Do you enjoy songs with all members or smaller groups better?
I love both. I love the way their voices melts in each other despite the fact that they are so very very different.

18. Can you sing all the lyrics to one or more of their songs?
It's japanese... ^^'

19. NEWS Nippon or Kibou~Yell~? (First single vs Debut single)
Nah. I can make yoghurt XD.

Favorite Related
20. Who’s your favorite member?
Shige.

21. Who’s your least favorite member?
I like them all very very very much. Maybe Kusano. Then again I love him too still ^^.

22. Is there a member you could really do without?
Two are already missing so, as Jastsu pointed out in her meme, that's quite enough ^^'.

23. Your favorite relationship between members (as friendship or more)?
I love love love the relationship between Shige and Massu. Pure friendship who doesn't need words or anything. They are completely comfortable with each other without having to show it. It's just perfect.
Anyway, I love how they all interact with each other ^^. Ryo and Shige are wicked ^^.

24. Who has the best fashion sense?
Yamapi. Simple but good.

25. Who normally has the best hairstyles?
Lol, Massu ^^.

26. Who’s singing voice is your favorite?
I'm weak when it comes to Masuda's voice. It's velvet. It kills me everytime o_O. Then again I do love all their voices. Shige is the smex. So can be Yamapi (Ai no matador anyone? XD).

27. Speaking voice?
That's odd... I just watched a bit of Utaban to see who's my fave and I have to say that it's Yamapi. The way he makes every word draw.

28. What’s your favorite NEWS group magazine shoot picture?
Lots of them.

29. Solo picture?
Same.

30. Favorite shop photo?
Same. Last batch of Shige in blue was kinda top XD.

31. Favorite CD cover?
The regular edition of Weeeek, with the bd feeling.

32. Favorite DVD? (0304, touch DVD, Sayaendou DVD, Miso Soup DVD, Kiss ~kaerimichi no love song~ DVD, Hoshi wo Mezashite DVD, Summary DVD, Never Ending Wonderful Story)
Never Ending. DUH!

33. If the members had become teachers, what do you think each would teach?
Yamapi - Music
Ryo-chan - English teacher XD!!
Koyama - Geography
Shige - Art
Massu - Sport
Tegoshi - ~~Mastermind~~ Litterature

34. Who seems most likely to show a different side of themselves on Christmas Eve?
Ryo-chan ^^. Who else?

35. If NEWS rangers were created, what colors? Don’t associate them with Kanjani, just give them colors.

Yamapi - Royal Blue
Ryo-chan - Yellow. This is definitely his colour ^^.
Koyama - Gold. I can't think of another color for him. Everything he is , is gold ^^.
Shige - Green (obviously that's my favourite colour XD)
Massu - Orange because he's sunny ^^. Or red because it suits him a lot (cqfd Akatsuki and It's bad clothes XD).
Tegoshi - White. Maybe pink. He's got a pastel feeling... which doesn't suit his S personnality in the end but well...

36. Please make NEWS into the ideal family.

Yamapi - Mum
Ryo-chan - Dad
Koyama - The very caring!always been in the family governess.
Shige - The prodigious son
Massu - The turbulent middle son
Tegoshi - The last, very protected!very beautiful!very loved daughter.

They should do a drama like this. And they all fight crime! XD

37. NEWS are hosts at a host club you’ve never been in before. Who would you pick after just walking in?
Probably Yamapi. He's far too handsome to pass it.

38. What kind of costume would you like to see them wear at a concert that they haven’t already done?
I wish they would wear some Russ-k clothes at their concerts...

39. How would you like to be related to NEWS?

Yamapi - Best-friend. I like his character a lot.
Ryo-chan - That is a hard question 'bout him. I can't see him as 'just a friend' or family related so ...
Koyama - Cousin
Shige - Boyfriend
Massu - Cuddly toy. I would so hug him every second ^^. ~~And then I could sleep with him XD.~~
Tegolino - GOD. o_O

40. Assign an animal to each member.

Yamapi - Cow ( He's got boobs after all!!)
Ryo-chan - Lizard. He has the tongue of a snake but he isn't nasty in the end ^^.
Koyama - Parrot. Talks so so so much ^^.
Shige - Cat. Cunning but lazy and a little arrogant.
Massu - Panda!!! OBVIOUS
Tegolino - Definitely a squirrel. Definitely ^^'.

41. Which NEWS member reminds you most of one of your own family members?
No one.

42. Who seems most likely to dress up on Halloween and/or do cosplay?
Koyama.

43. Who do you think you could pass by on the street without noticing?
I can pass by everyone and not notice. I could pass by the pope and not notice anyway ^^. I dreamwalk a lot.

44. Who do you think has pulled the most all nighters?
Ryo-chan. One day, he will fall asleep on a concert backstage I'm sure of it ^^'.

45. Which member would you want as a boss and why?
Yamapi. Even if he says that he doesn't fit for the Leader role, he is actually perfect for it. I remember Massu praising him about the fact that he always listened carefully to what everyone has to say and taking notice about it. It's a very very very good point. And he is realistic and always ressourcefullness. He's perfect as a captain :).

46. Who would it be most awkward to catch in the erotic section of a video rental store?
Hum... honestly? No one. Maybe Koyama because I have a very "clean" vision of him but. even like that it would be fine. I mean, I read the translation of Ai no matador or Chirazamaru so... I know how much of perverts they are already XD.

Drama/TV Related
47. Do you watch the dramas containing NEWS members?
I try to ^^.

48. Do you watch dramas that DON’T contain NEWS members?
Mostly yes :).

49. Have you seen all the dramas they’ve stared in?
No. I believe I've never seen Ryo in a drama for example. It's not that I don't want to, I don't feel the dramas he's been into. Also, as much as I love them, I can't keep watching a drama only because they are in it.

50. What was the first Yamapi drama you saw?
Nobuta Wo produce.

51. Do you wait for subtitles to watch a drama with NEWS members?
Usually yes.

52. Excluding Yamapi, which member of NEWS do you think has the best acting?
Hum... that's an hard question. Maybe Tegolino. I was impressed by him in his movie Dead Run. I can't recommend enought this movie. Amazing. Depressing but amazing.

53. Excluding Yamapi, who’s acting do you enjoy the most?
Masuda. He should be in more dramas.

54. Is there a story you’d like to see made into a drama with one or more NEWS member?
Ok you know the tv show Criminal Minds? With the FBI and the profilers? Ok? I want the same tv show but with NewS as the agents. OMG that would be terrific!!! They could all do it ^^. Spencer Reid would be so played by Shige XD.

55. Is there a certain type of role you’d like to see one of them play?
Detectives. Or something like A-Team ^^.

56. Do you watch Shonen Club?
When there's NewS on it or when we have it to ddl.

57. Is your main reason for watching Shonen Club NEWS as guests or Koyama as host?
No. I prefered YahYahYah in that aspect... *goes to hide and cry*

58. Have you seen Yamapi and/or Tegoshi’s episodes on Shonen Club Premium?
Yamapi only. I still need to watch the Tegolino one. Then again I don't have internet for now so later.

Never.

60. Did you regularly watch Ya-ya-yah!’s TV show?
Yes. *goes crying again*

61. Have you watched many/most of the older episodes?
Yes.

62. Did you try watching Say!Hey!Say! to see Koyama host?
No. I'll never watch something related to Hey!Say!Jump if I can.

63. Do you regularly watch Japanese music shows (Such as Music Station or HEYHEYHEY), or just when NEWS is featured?
Usually only when there's NewS, but I like a lot the Music Station one so when I can, I watch everything.

Fandom Related
64. Do you scan magazines?
No. I buy sometimes the mags but it's always after watching the scans on the net. And it's rare.

65. Do you write fanfiction?
Yes. But not necessarly NewS related.

66. Do you read fanfiction?
Yes.

No ^^.

68. Do you enjoy fanart?

69. Do you make image manipulations?

Yes, when my computer lets me do it ^^.

72. Do you upload for others?
When I can, but usually I'm always late so.

73. Do you make music/fan made videos?
No.

74. Do you watch fanmade music/fan videos?
Yes.

75. Do you watch fancams?
I used to. It's necessary but oh gosh... I hate how the fancams are made. It always seems that the girl who is carrying the camera is drunk. Or only likes Yamapi and Ryo.

76. Do you do translations?
Ah ah! I don't speak Japanese.

77. Do you read translations?
Yes. Hugs to all the translators by the way. Thanks a lot!

78. Do you follow their Jwebs?
Yes.

79. Do you follow the rest of JE, or at least some of it?
Kanjani8. Because well, Ryo-chan ^^. And I do love K8 for their music anyway (don't be shocked o_O). Arashi can be lovely, I do heart their Leader. And Aiba-chan. And... ok I love all of them.

80. Do you follow other Japanese musical groups?
Greeeen XD.

81. Have you converted other people into NEWS fans?
YES! Oh I'm really good at converting people XD.

82. Do your friends/family not interested in the group know about them?
Friends are because I can make everything interesting anyway XD. Family are only interested to tease me after ^^'...

Merchandise Related
83. Do you own any NEWS CDs?
Yop! Pacific and Weeeek single.

84. Do you own any DVDs?
The never ending one :). I'm very proud of owning it, I don't know why o_O. Human is odd, isn't it?

85. Do you own any magazines?
A dozen.

86. Do you own any concert goods?
No. I don't know wher to buy it anyway.

87. Do you own any shop photos?
No, same as before.

88. Have any posters on your wall?
Of Je? No. Oh I have one page of the calendar 07/08 of NewS on my desk. The one where Yamapi holds a newspaper ^^ and the other members are behind him.

89. Any other special/not-above-mentioned items?
The calendar.

90. If you could have any NEWS item given to you magically as a gift, what would it be?
Hum... the old cd's. I wish I could have the Sayaendou limited edition. Really.

Final Part is Always Hardest

91. So. Are Uchi and Kusano coming back?
I wish Uchi and Kusano would be back yes, but in another band or in another way. I honestly don't think NewS could survive another big change like adding back two members. Bloody suicide if you ask me.

92. Do you want them back, why or why not?
I miss them. But I wish NewS would go on as 6 not as 8.

93. NEWS members having girlfriends- how do you feel?
Good for them. I'm all for their happiness ^^.

94. If you could meet and chat with just one of the members once in your life, who?
Probably would start with Koyama. Because that makes sense ^^.

95. Can you write the kanji for all member names?
No.

96. What do you think of Ryo being in both Kanjani∞ and NEWS?
It's so different. He has to be pretty strong mentally not to be totally lost in the way that each members sees him. But he's doing a great job, he's fine and all so yeah for us ^^.
Then again, I do miss Ryo-chan in individual work. We can't see him in dramas for example because he just don't have time to do it. Which is a pity because I'm pretty sure he's an hell of an actor.
Well, maybe later. I don't know. Gambatte Ryo-chan ^^.

97. NEWS loses another member. Who is it, and why?
Tegolino because that guy could do a solo career if he wants. Then again, he would be too bored in a solo career so it won't happen ^^.

98. Do you use the word “tabai”?
I don't even know what it means o_O.

99. After this, one more question. You have to bring back one of the three lost members to NEWS- who is it?
It's Uchi and Kusano or nothing. The two of them or no one.

100. Anything you want to say?
I fear the ountdown about this story with Uchi and Kusano. I fear it bothways I have to admit. Can't do anything about it anyway, so let's see what happens and continue to support them, whatever happens ^^.

That was bloody long o_O!!

Hey Ho!!

secretofflora@hotmail.com — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 00:41:53 GMT

Yosh finally moving you'all!!! So this is the Hiatus post. As my awesome skillz with paint remain a complete legend, I had to make this post truly beautiful .

Just so you know, the hiatus will be like a month .

just like BatJin came back from America ~~to save the world!~~ ~~to destroy the Jimusho~~ just to come back .

See you guys!

Oh so ghey!

secretofflora@hotmail.com — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 00:01:37 GMT

So first of all, hello to all the new ones who came from the asian meme :). I'm glad you guys are here . Hope to be at least a little entertaining .

I change my default icon for this one with Nino as a maid. I have to say that it's been like two weeks now that I'm using it EVERYWHERE. And that's pretty rare seeing how I love changing my avatars. So I have it on msn and one of the guys who speaks with me sometimes and who is from the Naruto forum began to talk about it.

Him: I was wondering since sometimes now, is it you on your avatar?
Me: What? o_O
Him: Cause you're very pretty.
Me: o_O.... eto no. It's not me mate.

See? JE could beat the TOPmodel show by far! I didn't told him yet that it's actually a boy. I need to make the perfect moment to tell him that he actually has the hots for Nino . Nino is pretty

secretofflora@hotmail.com — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 21:43:34 GMT

New post of doom!!!

I'm going to move at the end of this week so gambaro! (I think it''s "gambaro" and not "gambatte" when you speak to yourself, but I'm not sure... I really need to study japanese seriously ^^).

1- Maybe some of you guys don't know it but we are in the middle of a big strike here. Lots of train aren't working and believe it, it's HELL. I hope it's ok for the others and for the ones who, in my f-list, are concerned. The Saint Lazare train station was full yesterday. Quite amazing and scary *__*. The strike is going to be at last until thursday so it's a real pain. I work in a bookshop and we are supposed to make a third part of the money on those two weeks before the big bam that Christmas is. We won't. We can't. People are not coming to the stores because they don't have the time for it. Nor the mind.

I'm still with the strikers. I mean, if I were them, I would do it too. But strike could be in a more intelligent way? Like making everything free in the trains. That would be wicked cool and a lot less painful for us. I really hope that they'll find a solution before the 20th because if they don't, the all bloody strike is going to last all the week .

Oy good luck to everyone here

2- I've watched Yukan Club ep05 without the subtitles and it was a bad idea since I didn't understood anything . I'm downloading the Love Song version.

Koyama is in next episode! KOYAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was all *squee* when I saw this . Koyama needs to be in more dramas.

3- Speaking of being in more dramas, let's talk a bit about Ryo. I don't know if you guys I've been listening and reading the little summary of the radio show "All Night Nippon" that Shige, Yamapi and Ryo made. Very amusing, entertaining and they clearly had a lots of fun . But something that Ryo said made me .... I don't know, kind of sad for him. Shige was pimping is new upcoming special drama, and then, Yamapi pimped his new upcoming movie and Ryo was blank, saying that it was kinda sad since he didn't have anything to pimp. Yamapi, of course, quickly started to talk about Kanjani8.

But I can understand Ryo. He is trapped. He has two wicked awesome bands and it's really cool and a lot of people probably envy him. But in a way, it stops him for the rest. He can't.... how can I say that.... he can't enlarge his horizon. When you see NewS, you see that clearly all of them have improved/change/evoluate. The one who has the less is Ryo. Because in a way, he can't do as much as he does right now. I don't know if I'm clear, let's just say that when Ryo answered Yamapi in a very resigned voice "ah yes, yes I have Kanjani8", I could feel all those feelings. He just loves NewS and Kanjani8, that's for sure, but I guess sometimes he sees the limits of being in two bands at the same time.

And I want to see Ryo in a drama. Even just a sp. I never saw One litter of tears and I don't want to. I'm not watching a drama to cry my eyes out thank you very much . So please, make another one Ryo-chan

4- Hi!Hey!Say! show... what the hell are they wearing?Come on!!! Koyama what are you wearing? Is that some cosplay? Hey, I'm all for it but that's just plain weird mate

LOLLL. The screencap is from Daelite's blog.

5- Everyone should stop and watch the SuperJunior show about Exploring the Human Body! It's scary! It's hilarious! It's LOVE! The look on Siwon's face is sometimes PRICELESS!! I need to make a post about that.
The all drama about Suju and the 14 member and the award theyshouldnothavewonbutdidanyway is too much to handle honestly. I don't know how they do. And here I was thinking that JE got the monopole of the dramas in the Entertainment...

6- I saw the last Cronenberg movie. Les Promesses de l'Ombre. Bloody brilliant but oh so violent *_*. Even if I'm used to Cronenberg, it's still quite disturbing. Viggo Mortensen pwns.

That's all for this week. That's probably all actually for this month. I'm quite tired and actually I'm pissed off for no reasons in particular. That's the happy joy of being a girl I guess, mood swings *--*. It will be probably better once november will be over. December better be good. Ah well, let's keep positive and not think about the fact that I litteraly have to wake up 2 bloody hours before I usually do tomorrow!

I should listen to Weeeek. That would make me feel better.

Also? Discoevery of the day: men are crazy. They need some kick in the chin. Fast. And painful. That would also make me feel a lot better.

French music.

secretofflora@hotmail.com — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 20:47:55 GMT

So, Ryoko-chan masuda_takahits and I talked about french music last time and I told her that I would make some post about it with some songs and pv. I hope everyone will enjoy it I tried my best for the choice of those songs. It's always a particular thing to choose only some few songs between hundreds and hundreds of them and there are many artists I couldn't place in the end but well... Here it is
Also if there's a song you like or anything and you want to know what they are saying or what the song is about, don't hesitate ^^. I give for each song the link for a pv or a live so you don't really need to ddl the song in case you don't like it.

Now enjoy

This has to be the cutest kid EVER! I swear! He is adorable! Kuro passed me it and gosh, too cute for words!! I don't know what I like more? The way he says "baby" or the fact that he is actually singing a Big Bang song or the way he just look at the vid! OMG CUTE!!

If I continue to look at it, I may have toothache.

Ok thanks to Kuro, I could watch the preview of episode 5. You can already tell that I'm going to watch that episode without subtitles if needed.

BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT? SEISHIROU + YURI = BLOODY AWESOME CANON OTP!!!!!!!!!!!!

And next person who tells me that it's Miroku/Yuri, I'll call you an Harmonian. Capici? XD

Ah the entry of doom! I missed it

1- So a little word about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The book went out on Ryo's day (aka friday) so I expect that the all keep away from spoilers is ending here, which is good. I have to say that book 7 just ended it for real for me. It's like... it's weird but the all HP thing is really behind me. A friend of mine asked me if it wasn't because it would be easier for me to think it was behind or something but in all honesty, I don't care. And in a way, that seriously hurts. It's finished. It's done. And I'm not even sad about it.

Anyway, speaking of HP, you know how I keep telling that the french covers are the ugliest? Well, I was wrong . Finland did better this time

I love the scarfs though. Such a nice touch lmao.

2- HBO owns my soul. Those past few days, I've re-watched Rome season2. Atia is probably one of the best woman's role ever in a tv-show. And Polly Walker who plays her role is just perfect. And omg the lines are perfect in Rome. This is a jewel. I'm so glad I own the dvd. I know it's crude and there's quite a lot of sexual content in it but it's never free either. And as much as I love the characters of Pullo and Vorenus, it was Atia that had the most killer line in Rome.

I can see, your swearing now that some day you'll destroy me. Remember far better women then you have sworn to do the same. Go and look for them now.

That was perhaps the best line ever uttered in any show or movie, period. And that ending episode De Pater vostro had me cry and curled up in a ball of angst for nearly hours. Oh Antony... Antony... you looked so broken and yet so admirable in the end *angsty ball again*

All my life I've been fearful of defeat. But now that it has come it's not near as terrible as I'd expected. The sun still shines, water still tastes good...glory is all well and good but life is enough, nay?
Screencaps by alexandral

And that scene between Octavian and Cleopatra? OMG! SO SCARY. His soul is indeed rotten. Simon Woods probably gave one of his best scene here. He was...*shivers*. So sugary and yet scary and terrible. His presence was overwhelming. You could feel Cleopatra getting the poison.

Chilling. Intense. No words for that scene.

I'm not going to talk about Vorenus, unless you want me to cry and cry and cry. No way.

ILU Vorenus.

3- In Memoriam

A. Who was your favorite character? Vorenus. And Antony. I'm glad Vorenus was so loyal to Antony till the end.

B. Which character pairings did you enjoy the most? Hum friendships clearly were more important than love relationships in this show. I mean, yeah Atia/Antony and Octavia/Agrippa was many kind of deep deep love but in a way, what lasted was the friendship. Brutus/Cassius or Pullo/Vorenus. Even the all Atia/Servilia hate-recognition relation was brilliant.

C. Favorite quotes? The ones I've retranscripted above. A large penis is always welcome. (Atia). That one was hilarious

D. Which character did you want to see live? Which one would you've like to see die?

E. Which character made you sad when they died? Which character had you cheering when the bit the dust? Do I really have to answer to the first part? Everyone who died in the last episode. And Brutus.
I was really glad when Timon's cousin died.Honestly, I didn't like him at all, nothing more repulsive than religious fanatics.

F. What would you have liked to see more/less of? Maybe more of Cicero and Antony. They were great acting together: Antony scaring the sh** out of him and all . Less nothing. It was incredible.

G. Favorite scenes? Brutus washing himself. Antony's departure for Egypt. Mecenas and Agrippa talking to Octavian. Pullo shaving Vorenus and calling him brother . Anything with Vorenus and Pullo together anyway. The complete last episode.

H. First season better/worse/same as the second season? Both awesomes.

I. Any other thoughts you'd like to share? I understand why they cut it to two seasons, but I'm still really sorry to see it go. It was one of the few shows I still watched and it had style, class and (let's face it) was a breakthrough for the actors and their roles. It was risky, but it turned out to be wonderful. Ending while it's on top, I salute everyone who made it. Thank you HBO. Just, really, thank you.

4- HBO owns my soul part2. I finally saw Conspiracy. While Tucci was an odd choice for a german high-ranked bureaucrat in theReich army, I found most of the cast pretty effective. Quite odd to see Colin Firth in such a hateful role. I've only seen him playing good guys so far. Kenneth Branagh on the other hand, I know he can be fully scary when he wants to. I need to see him more. I'm a big fan of his and his movies never come until France. Bloody awful!

5- Meme time! Took it from roadwaffle </lj>

Comment and I'll pick seven of your icons, and then you will explain why you love/are using the icon (who doesn't love talking about their icons, seriously) and then post your explanation/this meme in your journal for other people to squee about their icons, and basically it will be a huge squee-fest of love and 100x100 square pixels.

Hugs. Love is precious.
So it's my oldest icon. I will never depart from it I think . Key words being quite explanatory, I don't think I need to tell more.

Worst part of the world is people.
It's actually a quote from Mystermask XD. Who doesn't love Mystermask nay? I though so .

Sadness.
Gemma from RA For me!
I love this icon!! asami_seme did it and I love the colours and the texture. It's a picture from the book Rebel Angels of Libba Bray. I don't have a particular meaning for that icon and for a long time it was my icon defaut.

Crazy OTP's Nodame and Chiaki.
My icon for all the crazy OTP's I love. You know that Nodame and Chiaki could rule the world!

Tegolino And they say a hero will save us.
Tegolino is Tegoshi's pet name from me . I think it suits him perfectly. Also, we all know that Tegolino is God. We've got many proofs of that. We clearly should start a new cult .

Reality? Check :( Suju! Apparently it's Kibum.
Ah my first SuJu icon! Believe the crappy Kibum picture ! I didn't even knew it was him at that time. Ah the innocence...

Shige is love.
Not permanent icon. I always have a Shige is love icon that I change periodically. Because Shige is many kind of love? Yosh .

6- About the all JE-Hatememe, I guess it's good that it had occurred. Now we can let those things behind us. The all drama with the Kanjani8 mods affected the all JE fandom far worse than I though, then again, I'm sure it will be allright soon or that another community will be made.

Nothing and no one is irreplaceable.

7- Yukkan Club's plotline continues to suck big time. That story in the third episode? Bloody lame. Then there's Yoko and Yuri. And they are fantastic. And the drama in itself is not awful in itself. Still pleasant in a way. But this season is so below the previous one .

8- Speaking of that, you know those people who were saying that Yoko wasn't enough good-looking to play around the all mighty Jin?

You can kindly eat your words now .

And that's all for this week seeing I'm completely exhausted right now. I'll probably will talk about Utaban next time. Didn't saw it yet but it looks awesome. Anything with NewS is awesome anyway those days .

See you around guys

Currently watching Yukan Club ep02

I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one but:

Seishiro x Yuri is my OTP .

Ai Nante

secretofflora@hotmail.com — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 06:21:58 GMT

Oh God Oh God, I'm going to sound so so melodramatic but whatever. This song is all I'm listening to for hours. I don't even know how I'm going to be able to work without listening to it. Total daze. Because this is like.... Oh God. The piano, the voices, the longing in it. You don't need to know what they're talking about, you just bloody feel it regardless of the language. And Tegolino's voice is so... I'm still under the shock of it. I can't believe I was once said that even if Tego singed perfectly, he didn't do much to my heart. WRONG! He has my soul now with this song. I broke listening to it and I know what I just said is random and well random and weird ^^. Oh and Ryo and Shige's voices match perfectly like why didn't they made a duet before? WHY? Freakin obvious!

NewS never, ever leave me.

I think I just never felt so proud to be in the NewS fandom than right now. Pacific album, I'm counting the days till I can have you into my hands.

NEW LAYOUT

secretofflora@hotmail.com — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 23:19:47 GMT

And it's shiny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There's Shige and there's Hannie and this is like LOVE guys!

Merci ma Kuro!!!

Yes that's a pointless entry. Who bloody cares? I'm happy!

Je suis comme dans un chapitre du Da vinci Code.

secretofflora@hotmail.com — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 12:45:00 GMT

I feel completely numb. Damn the flu!! Doctor told me I was going to be stronger with the vitamins and the magnesium but ... Ah well, it's the period, isn't it? I hope you guys will all be genki

My usual ramblings:

About... eto... things?

- I need a new layout. Really. I'm pondering about that for a month now. Super Junior would be a good choice but then, I just love the jacket of the Weeek single regular . I'm needing big changes ^^. Same goes for the mood theme. I love the one I'm using right now but I want to change it nonetheless.

When it comes to those things, I'm pretty unfaithful. Changes are love .

- I'm going to move again for a little house near Paris (possible hiatus soon ). I hope it turns well ^^. I'm all surrounded by packs and books everywhere. I can't believe how many books I have. Honestly it's more than a hundred *__*. It's in french, in english, in spanish, in portuguese, in greek, in latin. I even have books in german and chinese and I don't read those languages o_O!! HOW?

- Last week-end, I was with some friends when we stumbled on a very amusing little shop .

Slippers! Batman slippers and Pirates slippers! The love!

And then we saw the price:

...

200€!!!! 200€!!!!

You gotta laugh about that ^^. Crazy people!

- I wanted to answer so many great entries in my flist and I didn't. Gomen . Between work,the flu and the moving, it's been quite a month.

- My cousin (another one yes ^^) is coming for a month. He couldn't have picked a worse month for that. I'm probably going to ask him to sleep at my mother's for the last two weeks. Ah well, we'll see.

- Does anyone have Ken Hirai's Popstar single? I'm searching for it :/.

About NewS

- First of everything, CDJAPAN makes me laugh . Didn't knew that,according to CDJapan, Toma is part of NewS .

I love Toma to death and same goes to NewS but honestly, that's some crazy bad idea ^^.

- OMG Of course you all listened to the new song ^^. I was so, so, so, excited about it ! I just love it !

And the best part is about Weeek being written by Greeen. I should have known. I found out about Greeen in a french Jmusic website and loved the HIGH G.K LOW ~Hajikero~ mv (I don't care if you like Jmusic or not YOU GO WATCH IT!). And bam! Who wrote the new NewS single? Greeen!!

Mouahahahaha there'is definitely a God (and his name is Tegolino ;)) ^^.

- I'm so waiting for the mv. It's not even funny ^^.

- I love Tawainese fans. They make noise. They sang along. They scream (how many times did they actually screamed Shige ? seriously lol). That's what I call a concert

About Super Junior

- The more I know Donghae, the more I like the guy. Too cool for school. I had this all wrong vibe about him because of his very good looks I guess. But it's quite the contrary: he's very simple and endearing ^^.

- I have to stop singing Kim Kibum with the air of Spiderman . I swear, they should do a movie about him being a super hero. The name is just too easy .

- This is probably my favourite song from Super Junior. Which is ironic because it's only sang by three of them *_*. I'm definitely a sucker for Khyunhyun's voice, plus I just love that old song .

- I didn't even knew that anti-fans could exist. I'm still searching the point you know. If you love to hate someone, that's allright by me. But you go and make his life living hell? What for? I'm so surprised by those anti-things in the Suju fandom. Especially since those boys are so very endearing . I guess they forms like a secret club or something to plan all those evil plans. Well not a secret club since we all know that they are morons but well you get my point .

About dramas

- OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG A DRAMA WITH MAKI AND SHOTA ????? YES PLZ! Next January is already good!

- Yukan club 's preview is weird. Yoko kicks arse of course and Junno is delightfully blond. The girls seems awesome and even Jin is ok. But what's with the camera? My grandpa films better than that *__*.
I'm not asking for the great originality of Liar Game but... well... good stuff *_*. Wait and see for the first episode anyway.

- I want ISAWK2!! NOW.

- Now, thanks to SuJu, I need to see some of the dramas they made. Does anyone can tip me about it? The bests ones etc?

That's all for now . I'm really hoping that October will pass quickly. November will be better . As korean drama girls says: aza aza fighting .

secretofflora@hotmail.com — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 18:40:39 GMT

Random thingie.

Yeah, I can see it being my battle cry. Totally lol.

secretofflora@hotmail.com — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 08:41:55 GMT

Announcement of the new group in the JE was made this night: Hey! Say! Jump ( for short we'll say JUMP). I don't even want to re-read the names in it. All my brain register was that there was no Taiyou or Shoon in it.

And a bloody group of 10???? What are you thinking guys? You don't have choregraphes or designer as good as the SM Entertainment so stop it!

...

I'm pissed off like wow.

As SuJu would say:
Banner made by zerolicious.

About Super Junior... and well mostly about Super Junior...

secretofflora@hotmail.com — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 15:30:53 GMT

About Super Junior... and well mostly about Super Junior...
You know that weekly long post I do?

Here we go!

1- Dear Korea and Japan and China and whatever country in Asia,

Could you please stop with the hotness? I'm pretty sure that the global warming is caused by your guys now (see point n°5 and 6).
Kthxs.

With love, and drooling, and ovary explosions.
Me.

2- Before forgetting or anything, I wish a Happy Birthday to meela2389 . Have a good day and big cake and great fun .
Also, Happy Birthday to Subaru-kun. May the craziness never leave your spirit .

3- Oh and one more thing before getting in very serious business (ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :o): for angelene_kiddo , here's the mp3 of Answer from Flow (génerique de Tantei Gakuen Q): MF. Enjoy !

4- Apparently, if everything is correct in the Dramawiki, It Started with a kiss 2 is going to start TODAY!!! I'm so so excited about it Are you guys not dying to see those two together once again?

I still can't believe they are... you know... married *__*. Ah! I can't wait to see again his crazy family (best family in Tw-drama? Y/Y?). Also, here's the trailer:

The cute .

5- I'm nostalgic. Yes, I am. There was a time where J-pop was everything when it came to Asian-pop. And it was good. Well, I say J-pop but it's more all about JE actually. I always had strange tastes when it comes to music. I hate radio stations for example. I can't stand it, I just NEVER listen to it. And I know quite all the 50's, 60's and 70's hits. And Motown has no secrets for me (blame my father :D). I guess that's why I'm such into funky/pop/light music. Because that was the deal in those years and I grow up listening to that kind of music anyway. Even if you were hardcore like the Doors, it was still all about harmony.
Anyway, there was this time were Asian-pop was mostly about the JE for me.

And now?

Now?

YOU BLAME THOSE BOYS!!!!!

Super Junior what did you do? I told everyone I wasn't going to fall for K-pop and voilà?! And the worst part is that I actually fall for their music first . You hear me right . Too catchy. Too great.
I'm learning their names (or half of it :D)very fast. It's been a few days and I can honestly tell who is half of the group. Considering that they are 13, I say it's cool. Considering the new pictures I saw where they're all very very hardcore, it's a miracle *__* ( why do I have to like a band when they come-back and change their style is a complete mystery, even for me).
I already have favourites (which is a very bad sign ). And I'm really into them right now. Like really. And I love the first album ( I'm missing some of their songs so please anyone? you know I'll give you cookies :9 ).

And OMG THE VOICES!!

This is live. THIS IS LIVE. There are two guys in there who's voices just turns me on. Truly. Like Masuda's or Ohno's. I want to have babies with their voices if that even make sense *__*. Ryewook (or something like that, I'm probably going to call him Rye very soon anyway ^^) and KyunKyun ( I'm pretty sure that's not his correct name but whatever, he's got the CUTEST FACE EVER!). Also, I spoke about the design change of this band, right? Believe me, it's radical. I'm new in this fandom so I don't really feel it in a way. I just go with the flow. But I wonder how the SuJu fandom in general is taking it.

Because going from that ( I have such a warm Teppen feeling with this song ):

...to that:

is a pretty big break ^^. I wonder if the guy who shoot Don't Don is a Final Fantasy fan?

Bref, thank you Super Junior. Thank you. What JE left of my brain, you just took it shamelessly. You can be proud of yourselves ^^. BELIEVE! At least, I know I'm not the only one *waves to carviangli , fivil and figuramalaya *.

6- Speaking of stealing brains, pretty boy and haircut changes, did you guys saw Shige's new hairchange? (scan from Vendy)

I like it a lot. Even if it makes him so so so much younger. He looks like 12

7- Just saw this post. Who the bloody hell is the clothing designer of the JE? WHO? I know Kanjani8 has this all reputation to be funny and crazy spazz and we love them for that. Truly. But sometimes, I can't help to think that it's too much. They've got such good music and that should be enough.

I'm pissed of at the JE right now anyway. That all new group thing scares the hell out of me. I don't even want to think about it. The Kanjani8 wardrobes makes me desperate about their status in this empire. And the promise of nothing about NewS (for Pete's sake it's been six month since their last single ) until middle's november is killing me off.

Change the management direction Johnny-san. Seriously. Just do it.

8- On a complete change of subject, I'm waiting forward for Prince Caspian. Love the little vids. Love the poster. Love. Love. Love.

9- Just for asami_seme , because I know she likes cats

I'm still searching the point you know...

10- I should to this all MEME think about JE boys (after everyone... as usual I'm late like wow) but in a short way. So I'm taking it from... well... almost everyone.

1. Post 10 open letters to JE boys, nice or mean, whatever you prefer. Don't mention names.
2. Let your friends list guess who you're talking about.

I'm probably one of the few who had a very hard time to understand what was going on with yourself. But I managed somehow and I truly adore you. Your singing is beautiful even if, It doesn't make me orgasm like a certain other voice in your band. I'm pretty sure we would cling instantly by the way. Holy friendship ^^.

B- Whenever I think of you, I think sex. I can't help it. If I think about it a little more, I can honestly say that I don't know your personality at all. You seem very quiet, and usually your answers in interviews are quite idol-programmed so in the end, you're quite a mistery to me. And to my hormones.

C- You could be ugly. You could be an asshole. You could be an horrible person. Really. I wouldn't care. Because OMG THAT VOICE. It's all silk and velvet. And then, you're just a wonderful, sunny, adorable handsome guy who can wear everything. Ilu.

D- It's not that I don't like you (in fact I don't too) it's worse than that: I don't understand why people seem to like you so much. You seem to be more calm nowadays but something still puts me off. I truly think your band-mates don't deserve the things you put on them. IMO, you are so over-rated, it's scary.

E- You shouldn't be a Junior anymore. You shouldn't be in the JE anyway. You're far too handsome for that. And your little brother too. I do find you the most handsome guy in the JE even before my ichiban (and that's saying something ^^). Model material like wow ^^.

F- Awww! You're so adorable and I don't even really know your group but you're just my favourite of them. And you make an hilarious woman ^^.You don't look like a Johnny and this time, it's a compliment believe me :D.

G- You're creepy but in some alluring, fascinating way. There's just something about you. Maybe it's magnetism (it has to be because you're not THAT good-looking either if we look carefully at that point and your voice can be awesome!yet!terrible most of the times). Sometimes I want to hit you. Hard. And sometimes...

H- I'm not sure that, if we meet in real life, we would be instant friends. You do sometimes feel like an elitist in a way and I dispise that kind of behaviour. But I love your fail. I like how you can take the jokes and how you seem to really care deeply in your own way. I love the sense of endless friendship you have with some persons. And I'm shallow and you're very very HOT. Even if you change a lot your haircut (what's life without a bit of danger hé? ^^ ask Suju...).

I- Hands down, you're the most gifted person in the JE for me. You're an incredible actor. Your voice is simply fantastic and original. Your band is the one of the top one in the all J-Pop industry and I can even say Asian-pop industry. You are gorgeous. And now you're single. YEAH!

J- People who don't fall madly in love after seeing you with animals or with your band-mates are not human. If they are, they must be evil. You're cuteness personified. If I had to choose a pet in the JE, you would be my first choice.

Good luck ^^.

Et voilà, one more gigantic entry done. I just saw that I didn't talked about any dramas this time... which is weird. Blame Super Junior XD! Or Ryo (when in doubt, always blame Ryo).

secretofflora@hotmail.com — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 20:30:53 GMT

Robert Jordan is dead. And it's sad. And he didn't finished the Wheel of Time série.
