Zetto!

You know, I really really thought they’d pronounce A.B.C.-Z something like “A.B.C. to Z” (with the American and not the British pronounciation of “Z”, so that “Z” rhymes with “C”). That would have kinda made sense to me. But apparently it’s “A.B.C. Zetto”. That sounds even funnier than it looks.
Anyway, here’s another little bit of […]

I Don’t Get No Respect

I told you about the Kei-man Islands before, that special secret place where Keito and I meet every now and then to discuss matters of importance. Well, I went there last night, hoping to spend some quality time with the boy, and it turns out that he was already spending quality time with somebody else, […]

Hi!Hey!Say! Best thumbnail

Hi!Hey!Say! Best

I uploaded last week’s episode of Hi!Hey!Say!. I usually don’t do that because even with Yabu and Hikaru in fancy costumes the show is still incredibly dull. However, last week’s show was a best-of with some of the more interesting reports they’ve done in the past and it’s actually quite entertaining, even though Yabu and […]

The Aftermath

Looks like I really dropped a bomb with my earlier post. I didn’t even mean to. I only posted a link in the Livejournal hey_say community and yet within 2 hours it had wide repercussions througout almost the whole rest of the Johnny’s fandom. That’s probably because the topic of fans stalking their idols is […]

No Need For These Kinds Of Fans

I wrote about this a couple of days ago, a message from Johnny’s to all their fans about stalking. Back then I said it was probably fake because no proper source could be found. Turns out I was wrong. Again. Looks like I’m wrong a lot these days. Anyway, the reason no proper online source […]

Never for trup?!

A couple of minutes ago luma_chan told me about something rather interesting she stumbled over at Hey!Say!JUMP’s Japanese wikipedia entry today. It lists a song called Never for trup as JUMP’s 4th single to be released in November. That information was added yesterday by an anonymous user from Shizuoka.
I did some research to verify this, […]

A Word From Each Member thumbnail

A Word From Each Member

I found this on a Japanese blog (on several of them really). Allegedly this is from Nikkan Sports, however I can’t find it anywhere on the Nikkan Sports website, so this may be real or fake, I don’t know. Most of the statements do sound authentic though, and we’ve seen Keito talking about how he […]

You Are The Ones thumbnail

You Are The Ones

I have received countless comments in the last couple of days.
Some were comments from people who read this blog every day and never commented before but who suddenly felt the need to express their support.
Some were comments from 13-year-old girls from a different part of the world, who have never met me and most likely […]

JUMP Across The Sea

I hope everyone of my readers had a good weekend. I certainly did, and I hope that this post will give people on the west coast a good start into the new week, and I’m not talking about the west coast of Japan or Europe.
When I skimmed the online news media this morning in search […]
