HELLO~
I actually bothered to edit this Semi-FO post to my liking.

I'm from Greece (Thessaloniki to be exact. Pretty place, google it). I lived there for 18 years until I decided to to England for university. Right now I'm usually going back and forth between Thessaloniki and London, however I spend most time in London. I study Fine Art/Photography and I'm currently on a gap year but will be a third year starting September 2009. I dread my final project and exhibition.

everything you need to know about this fangirl. for real )

Geh~ I wrote too much again. This is probably more information that you'll ever need, but here it is just in case. I'll keep editing this post every now and then when it's required.

Note:
The current banner features Touya Akira (after whom I named my dSLR) and Shindo Hikaru from the manga Hikaru no Go.

I update the Music Station community ([info]musicstation ) and added a few more older episodes from 2009. April, March, February.

I'm going to upload the 2008 Super Live and the January Special along with the Haru Special. Those ones are epic and they have this timeline with clips and songs from the '80s!

You'll only be traumatized a little. And no more than any other 80s music show. Then again, in the western part of the world, we never have artists with names like ZARD.

I'm off to make some small banners and continue uploading. I promise to try to give out mirrors as soon as possible. My mac hates MegaUpload and I can't upload at the same time. :(

Anyway... next broadcast is on July 10th! I really look forward to it! TegoMass, Orange Range, Perfume, Koda Kumi and others.

And I just realised that I've been so busy updating the comm that I still haven't watched the July 3 broadcast. OMGOMGOMGOMG! Yes, watching NOW.

Sorry for the useless update. Kath and her sister, Athena are coming around 12am/1-ish depending on the bus. I need to make sure food is ready by then. Spinach & rice goodness.

It just occured to me that I would totally want to work in Asahi TV, even though in reality it wouldn't be so great. ¬_¬

When you have to study or get work done, what music (if any) do you put on to help you concentrate?


View other answers

It's really hard to work without music. I usually pick original soundtracks (movie or tv soundtracks) because I know they won't distract me too much. In some cases, classical music is great as well,  but I suppose it depends on what I want to write.

In the past I would put everyday radio style music instead of my favourite bands because they distract me and I want to sing along. :)

But soundtracks are always the best!

 My iPod's screen froze just now. DX Bummie what happened? ;_; 

I thought it was just me, but it really did freeze and I tried fiddling with the hold button and play/pause but it wouldn't work.

In the end I googled it (seems that it a popular problem) and I found this. So I reset it pressing the Menu and centre. Good thing resetting it doesn't mean formatting so all my songs/music/photos are saved. 

For a moment I feared something had happened to it. It's just recharging now (which what I originally wanted to do). O_o Has this ever happened to anyone else?

We're going to Nadia's summer house to Agia Triada tomorrow. We'll only stay until Sunday night, but it's bound to be brilliant! 

My mother told me to wear much sunblock as then sun is extra dangerous due to the unstable weather lately. Well, that's what the doctors said at the hospital she works at (a very posh one too). It makes sense but I wouldn't know. :)

We'll take bunches of photos there. Hopefully the sea will be nice etc etc. I haven't been to the beach in almost 2 years. Last summer I never went... D: 

We're going to be a bunch of girls again. LOL. In fact, we'll be... *counts* 7 or 8. I'm not sure. It shall be fun~

PS. I kept watching on repeat the Juliette MV earlier today. :O So why did Key dye his hair? >_< LJ
PPS. Is the box where you type your entry every time being weird or it just my eljay? I type and then instead of filling the entire box it stops midway and then loads a sidebar. What the hell is this? LJ behave! 

PPPS. I saw those scans from  the set of Niino no Koto wo Wasurenaide. <3 I loved Yamada's hair. He seems to have dyed it lighter again. The Horikoshi rules say that he must have submitted a paper saying for how long it has to be this colour and the he has to go back to his natural hair colour. :D I'm really used to him with the brown hair though. Oh Yama-chan~~~ so pretty.

Super loud thunders. Super bright lightnings. Followed by heavy summer rain. 

The kind of rain that smells so much of summer. I have missed this. 

I was expecting it, but all the lights went off and pretty much everything shut down in this area/part of the city. I heard sirens (Fire Brigade) and thank goodness for the laptop battery. It would have been scary of all light really went off. 

My mother came back from work soon after that and we found a flashlight. There was nothing we could do apart from wait. It didn't take too long for the electricity to return. About 15 minutes in total. 

Ah, fun times, fun times.

Update time!!!

Last Thursday we were on the bus with Kath to go to Nadia's place and suddenly a cat started meowing. We were listening to music so we didn't realise until the drive (we were at a bus stop at the time) turned around and yelled down the bus, "who brought a cat in here?". Confused looks... me and Kath were listening to music at the time, so we hadn't noticed the meowing at first. Then the driver said, "ah it's a ringtone".

Everyone laughed. I didn't know that such a ringtone was so "in" lately (as Nadia told us when we told her the story). The ringtone sounded really realistic. Really, really.

On Friday Kath came over and we watched episode 7 and 8 of Scrap Teacher (waiting for the ep 9 subs) and episodes 6-9 of Voice. I really liked those Voice episodes. :) They were great. Another 2 and we'll finish the drama!!!

We're trying to take it chronologically as we have a few series unfinished from last season (except Rookies and Prince of Tennis though).

Right now I'm in Kallikrateia (more like the middle of nowhere) to visit my grandmother. It's really quite here. The nature/green around includes vineyards and we have a few trees (see the Awesome Apricot Tree and the Always Slow Pear Tear). Yes, I nicknamed them just now).

By the way it's 30 degrees here, but it's quite cool. SUN SUN SUN  *sings Summer Time* When we go to the beach, I'll make a special summer playlist on the iPod and I will take the speakers with me~! 

Random people seem to know that I'm back in Greece. I feel threatened. :O

Hetalia has eaten my brain. On Friday when we went for lunch with Kath we saw a truck with NIPPON written all over it. Yes, in bright red lettering. Kath took a photo, but I had forgotten my phone at home. orz I found Japan in Greece. Ahahhahahahahahahahah! *diez*

Yes, so I'm making a log of the summer holidays over at blogger (don't ask me why there...) So I'm pretty much updating every day. Erm, I just wanted to record all 28 days of my holdays and so on, so there's nothing too interesting. It's the boring stuff I did every day.

I'm going to try and convince my dad to let me take it to Athens so I can update instantly. Oh DailyBooth~ I'm so going to spam you a few times that day. Ah, we're going on the 14th as the schedule changed.

Friday: Cosplay photoshoot and party
Saturday: meet with forum friends and stuff (no idea what the plan is)
Sat night: going to Athens with Kath and Nadia
Sunday: meeting with Tyron and goind around~ plus food at taverna, yes? Yes!
Sunday night: taking the night train again back home.

My grandmother is giving moneyz for the trip. So lucky~ I don't plan on spending too much anyway. I'm looking forward to the next friday/weekend. I need to remember to get saline for the contacts. 8D

Online stuffs:

Nishikido Ryo and Yamada Ryosuke in a special together. Ttitled: Niini no Koto wo Wasurenaide based on a book by Masumi Kawakami. Ryo, who is the protagonist, is  a young boy who discovers that he has brain tumour at the age of 15 (he actually lives until he's 23 though). Yama-chan plays his younger brother. I'm looking forward to this. More work for Yamada. I swear he's going to get bored playing a middle schooler. Gambare Yama-chan!  And Ryo being a  high schooler again. *_* Show me... it's going to be broadcasted on August 29th... I'm under the impression something else is going on on that day.

No, it's actually on the 30th that is MatsuJun's birthday. :) 

Yuma and B.I Shadow at Music Station.... For real. Johnny will be very naive if he debuts them already. They need to do more things and they need more experience in all aspects. I'm not saying that they're bad, I happen to like them quite a bit, but it's too soon. Maybe in a year or two if he plans on debuting them when they are young.

Look at at all the work most of the Hey! Say! JUMP members did before they debuted together in 2008. No, they could use more experience and perhaps touring with other groups. HSJ (or members of the group) have toured plenty of times with Arashi and NEWS, so it only makes sense if B.I. Shadow do that as well.

Anyway, new Tegomass single and album. *wants* :)

Hey! Say! JUMP summer concerts. I wish I could go. >_< Dammit I really want to go!

Umm, yeah. Moving on.

I'm making a log of the summer holidays by the way. I post a bit every day since I came to Greece, but it's nothing really interesting as it's all the boring stuff I do everyday (and it's on blogger cause it's a record for me to remember)

I want a cool summer even if it lasts a month!!!!

I'm going to make a summer playlist for when we go to the beach with everyone.
 

AH! New Bakuman chapter (ch. 40). Must read. I'll catch up with ShinPOT tomorrow. 8D

The most random thing happened at the airport last night. When me and [info]katiedistance where going through the security check at Gatwick airport... I heard someone call my name. I looked around and saw Natalia (who was my classmate in Foundation and went to Bradford Uni, also known as [info]oracl3 ).

Neither me nor Kath knew that she was also flying to Greece. We had a laugh while they were checking the contents of our bags. We wanted for about 2 hours for the gate to open but time really flew by as we talking and caught up with news~ It was the best!

I pretty much slept for 2 hours or so while listening to random songs that came up on the shuffle. Every now and then I would wake up due to the song playing. LOL. The Hetalia skit audio came up once or twice. O_o I made Nat watch the Your Seed and Mayonaka no Shadow Boy PVs and noted how awesome the latter one would be remade in a certain Greek style of music called rebetiko. 8D Must learn mpouzouki just for this reason. Just this! And maybe other awesome songs that deserve a cover like this. Epic stuff.

Note: it took me about half an hour to be able to hear normally again after the plane landed. My ears hurt so much! And it's not like it was a very sudden descent or anything. :( It was funny cause I felt like my head was in a bubble and everyone seemed to speak really quiet.

My mother came to get me from the airport and we went to the new house (they just moved into a new flat, about a bus stop further down the road). I really like this place. My room is huge compared the old one. I plan on putting on the old movie posters I had (even if it means, X-Men 2, PoA and nothing other than the Obi-Wan/Anakin Star Wars III). I can't bare to see these walls so empty. It's this white/cream colour. 

Anyway, there's boxes everywhere and DUST! It makes me sneeze all the time. Then again I haven't stopped sneezing in 3 days now. My nose is running and there's nothing I can do about it. At least if I was ill, I'd know what to do. D: I seemed to be fine throught the evening though.

Kath came over to see the new place and then we went to get Nadia and the three of us walked down the new paralia (it's been remodeled since ages but it's awesome). The parks are themed (of Water/Stone/Wood). We're going to have a photoshoot there, so there' s going to be a few photos of that. :) I really liked the Water one. So pretty~~~~

The temperature is 22-26 degrees... I think. It's pretty good. It feels quite warmer than if there the same temperature in London. Ahhh~ Greece! <3

Almost forgot, there's a monument thingy in one of the parks mentioned previously where it says it's for the Greeks that died helping Korea in some war. I didn't read too carefully... Hetalia incaded my brain and all I can tell is that I didn't know we liked Korea this much. 8D Greece/Korea anyone? :O

We went to eat some gyros in central Thessaloniki and chatted about how awesome pretty much everything seems to be. Even the people serving the food made me happy by being so open and joking that non of us had any onion in our sandwiches. Genuinly happy people having fun while working! YESH! And after eyeing the gelato shop across the road for an hour we went to get some utterly delicious ice cream! Devine taste of stracciatella flavour.

We walked down Tsimiskh Rd all the way to Aristotelous Square (which is pretty much considered as central as you can be in Thessaloniki). I had posted photos back in December/January, but I'll take more this time around.

Aimless walking everywhere and talking about anything made the day great. Kath was pretty dead by the end of it. >_< Hope she gets enough rest tomorrow.

Speaking of that... tomorrow's to do list:
  • take photos for new ID
  • go around with my mother for errants (boring)
  • choose what things I want to keep from the boxes in my room and find my curtains
  • put posters up on wall
  • decided on something to watch and kill time
So that's it. It's been a fun day, but I feel extremely tired right now. :(
I want to find out where they sell 120mm film here. And how much hte tickets for Athens are going to be... and how I'm going to explain that I want the Koyama!blond haircolour... O______________________o

Good night eveyone!!!!

I have so many things to say that I don't kno where to start.

I'll make the post Expo post later with the photos and such. ¬_¬ I probably don't have enough time to do the uploading/posting of all comment right now. We're going to watch Coraline in 3D with Kath and Stuart. We wanted to watch Fireflies in the Garden but Vue Cinemas are mean and they don't have it listed at all. :(

Anyway, last Tuesday we went to Stonehenge with Kath and her uni's Anime Club. It was great. We didn't actually go in cause we were cheap like that, but we got some nice photos. Later we had a picnic in the field on the other side of the carpark. Madness ensued~ part of it has been recorded on some cameras as well. :O

It was too early when we left the 'Henge so we went to Salisbury to see the pretty cathedral and such. The group split and us civilized people went to the cathedral and not the pub. We had (well, not me, I had a milkshake) and had tea and scones at 5pm like proper English people.

It was awesome fun. The drive back was realyl sleepy. Most of us were falling asleep/or did fall asleep. I had Stuart next to me and he kept talking all the time... not much sleep for me.

Anyway... on Wednesday Kath and I met up with Tyron. :) We hadn't seen him since February, so it was great going for dinner and catching up. Before that me and Kath went to have a milkshake cause we had done some shopping (see Code Geass patches) and after dinner we moved to get some bubble tea. Water Melon is realyl great! I really reminded me of Greece in the summer, so I'm definitely having water melon and feta cheese next week. I quite like the combination~

Tyron is going to Greece for vacations a week after us, so we plan on meeting up and showing him around. Our trip to Athens is going to be awesome!!! Can't wait!

Blah, blah, blah~ Thursday! We nearly died of heat at Primark (FAIL AT BAD VENTILATION AND NO A/C). We had some lunch/food and tehn went to find a suitcase for Kath. She got a really nice one. She also won't be able to mix it when teh suitcases pop up at the airport as it's black/grey/white. Pretty design.

And today, I feel like I've been washing something all day long. Dishes, clothes... ¬_¬ I do want to do some more cleaning before leaving for Greece. Or I'll come back and feel bad about the condition I left the house in a month ago.

I bumped into Vocaloid stuff again the other day. >_< I still like Kaito the best. I don't even know why? Well, besides that my blue haired character bias is showing there. Must download some Volaloid music... any good sources anyone?

Also, my eyes are very dry lately and the contacts don't like me at all. :( I hope the purple ones are okay.

Also, Federer's days are OVER. Seriously, he's so overrated and not number 1 anymore. He seems to be struggling a bit at Roland Garros according to the Guardian articles I saw today. Well, it's going to be really hard if he wants to get back the number one title from Nadal. You may not have my support. Nadal is much better. Plus, prettier and Spanish and not arrogant when he plays._

Must be off now.

So remember that movie that Tegoshi Yuya was casted last winter, Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac? The Japanese title is Nakushita Kioku, directed by an American director... it's supposed to be an internation school in Tokyo. asfalkshfalskfhals

I finished reading the book last night. I ended up reading past 3am because I just wanted to finish reading it. It's really quite average, so I'm really looking forward to the changes they do in the movie. 8D I really won't mind.

I'm pretty sure that Maki Horikita will do a good job as the protagonist (Naomi). Matsuyama Ken'ichi is quite a predictable choice for the role for James (renamed now of course). He can pull it off. What I worry about is the chemistry between Maki and Matsuyama. I can't see it. I really can't. D:

The director picked Tegoshi for the role of Will (see Naomi's best friend, who by the way is the best character in that book and I'm not biased at all) after seeing him in My Boss, My Hero. Tesshi I'm so proud of you (so if he puts the same effort in Nakushita Kioku I'll just die of fangirl squee because my favourite NEWS member is playing my favourite character from the book).

Plus... Tegoshi  (character's name is Mirai Hasegawa) is megane and we all know that he looks good wearing glasses.

Anyway... here you can see some photos from the set. sadfkjahflagflasdfk

And, sorry if I'm spoiling anyone, but Naomi and Will really are meant for each other. It will happen eventually. It's just that the book finishes with her understand this, so we never do see them get together. 

I wonder when the movie will come out. O_O

My brain has melted.

I need to go finish the costume for Sunday. >_< Not too much work left though.

I thought... since it's Yama-chan's birthday I'll make an endless picspam/pimp post. He deserves one~



Name: 山田 涼介 // Yamada Ryosuke
Born: May 9th, 1993 in Tokyo Prefecture. (I once saw a wrong date saying he was born in 1995... '93 is the correct)
He lives now in the Kanagawa Prefecture. (We love the Kanagawa Prefecture, btw)

He's usually called Yama-chan, his blood type is B and his most admired Johnny's sempai is Domoto Koichi. He has said in interviews that when he was young he went to a Kinki Kids concert and he thought Koichi was really cool etc etc fanboying. But not in the intense way Chinen fanboys Ohno of Arashi, but that's another story.

In an episode of Shin Domoto Kyoudai Yamada got to sit next to Koichi and ask him about a message he sent him through a magazine (note: Koichi said "let's get some coffe and hang out sometime", but there was a typo and instead of ko-hi, it said ko-shi. It was very cute).

Yamada likes... strawberries, eggplants, meat, cooking, social studies, the color white and orange and the number 4. He doesn't like tomatoes (don't blame him) and fermented soybean. 

Random trivia about Yama-chan:
He's best friends with Nakajima Yuto.
He has a collection of air riffles in his room (in a glass case).
He has a collection of over 300 manga as well.
He's afraid of ghosts, dark places and airplanes.
He's usually quite loud, but sometimes he will be very quiet.
His favourite sport is soccer and he wanted to be a soccer player when he was younger.
Yamada got a total of 20 Jr Awards in 2008, which broke Akanishi Jin's record of 16. So now he's the most award winner. Jinfail.

Since this post is all about Yama-chan appreciation, his hotness, cuteness and sheer ability to make me the fangirls nosebleed, I'll start at the very beginning.

Yamada entered Johnny's Entertainment in August 12th, 2004 (he was in the 5th grade back then) through some auditions held by the Ya-yah show at the time. Although I do not have have the video myself or any screencaps you can go and check it out here. It's in two parts and Yama-chan is that squishy thing, you can't miss it. Morimoto Ryutaro also auditioned at the time.

As a Johnny's Junior he really perfected his dancing (he's said that he always practiced/practices three hours a day) and his singing, although he didn't sound too confident about that in a fairly recent interview. Maybe I'm wrong and it wasn't that recent.

He participated in the PVs of Seishun Amigo (Shuuji to Akira), Venus (Tackey & Tsubasa) and Fever to Future (kitty GYM).

He's also backdanced for many concerts such as NEWS' Never Ending Wonderful Story (it's an epic 2 disc DVD tour) and even Arashi's Final Time concert with the rest of Hey! Say! JUMP.

yama-chan is the sexiest 16 year old! )

Sunday morning.

Ever since I started sleeping at night (yay) it's become easier to get up in the morning. I actually got up around 10:30am. Aimed around LJ and teh intrawebs for a while before it was time to get going for the Hetalia meet up. A phone call and some software installation afterward, me and [info]Kath had the music for the skit in the iPod and actually managed to get to Baker Street quickly. It was a great place to meet up as it's only 20 minutes by train.

Anyway, on the way we kept talking about the cosplay party in Greece. It's going to be at the end of June, so it will be really hot there and most of my friends want to cosplay Code Geass together. So we thought we should do a Lelouch and his harem kind of version for the lulz. The only problem is that Lelouch has no proper summer outfits. FAIL. So I'll bother to make a generic Ashford jacket. I can't wait to see [info]Nadia as C.C. It will be so cool. I can't wait to go to the beach with everyone and do that random photoshoot. I'm so taking the Greece cosplay with me! JOY!

Yeah, deviating from the subject now.
It was very easy to spot everyone, hyper people as you all are (hello to everyone who I added and then added me back since yesterday. Greece desu~). Back to reality or not.

I think the highlisghts of Sunday could be summed up to:

[info]Canada eating an onion. with MAPLE SYRUP on top. He casually said "I have maple syrup running through my veins" or something along those lines. Do you really believe that, Canada-kun? He sounded very sure to me. :O

[info]Korea being really cute and making weird voices. We all love Korea, ne?

Seeing [info]Germany with bleached hair made me thing that it's a true transformation into Germany! And then I thought that she looked quite like Draco Malfoy. I didn't take my camera with me so I can't really provide any proof of this.

An awesome [info]schoolgirl!Poland.

Really good cake (according to [info]Italy). I didn't try it, but the pidgeons also thought it was good.

A true [info]Russia.

An embarrassed [info]Iceland/Lithuania over a certain piece of fanfiction that should go inmentioned.

And the creation of this COMMUNITY: [info]prussiaxcanada. If you value your sanity you won't go there... don't say I didn't warn you.

I know there's so many things I'm forgetting but it's nevermind that.

[info]Italy and [info]Greece (myself) were thinking about how quickly we passed from recession jokes to swine flu jokes. What do you guys think? I prefer to weird zombie swine flu jokes. Recession is overrated.

Here's an announcement for all the people I got their email/MSN from:
I'll make a list and email it to each other so you can add whoever you want and we can have an MSN conference or something.

When the music for the skit is ready I will email you the link of where to download it and the password (it will be on MediaFire and MegaUpload for the sake of having mirrors). Keep a look out for these.

I feel like I spent double the time just by making the usernames look nifty like that. Guh~ I will not be doing this every time. Or maybe I will.

The day was fun and random thanks to everyone. It was a pity that some couldn't stay for dinner, but there's always next time. ^^

Note that this really isn't in the right order because I saw the episode in many clips thanks to ogatayamato.

I'm watching the Shounen Club on YouTube right now. The theme is [ 家族 ] Family this time. It was cute and slightly awkward having Tamamori and Shintaro present it. I will never object to the promotion of either two, but the age difference is quite big and you could tell that they don't really interact at the jimusho. It was cute because you could see the awkwardness only from Tamamori. Shintaro owned the stage as always. That kid will be a huge idol in a couple of years. HUGE.

So they had a Kazoku Medley with some V6 song, Smile Again and Kizuna. YAY for B.I. Shadow. They'll become more and more popular. I think it's impossible not to like them (they have Nakajima Kento after all). Tamamori sung Kizuna~ He and Senga are the only two I actually like/don't mind from Kis-My-Ft2, so I approbe of this.

The guest this time is NEWS! Well, we knew this as it was announced a while ago. Their Koi no ABO performance wasn't perfect once again, but it's hard to time the choreography. Black suits again. I was hoping for the white disco ones like in the first Music Station. I liked the performance anyway.

I've never said this before, but I absolutely love the NEWS abake segments. Whenever they appear and they make them wear the goofy night masks and hold the microphones with the voice changers. Ahhhhh~ joy, Joy, JOY! It's always so funny! The questions were quite typical with "I am the coolest member of the group" and "There's something I want to say to another member" kind of thing. Nakamaru kept going to other people to ask their opinion and left Shige for last on puprose... Ryo was very silent (he usually is) and Koyama was jumpy again. Every time Maru would go to him and say "you speak", he'd jump up in suprise. It reminds of the first time when he really jumped off the chair was screamed bikurishitaaaaaa~ and it was very high pictched. It was in the August 5th, 2007 Shokura (for those interested).

Anyway, I don't know how I feel about Fresh Jrs. They need singing lessons and to generally be less awkward on stage/when they speak/etc. There was only one exception with that 12 year old kid (yeah the one that was talking a lot, I forget his name right now).

Note: I demand more Uekusa Yuta and Kyomoto Taiga goodness. They know that they can sing awesome duets together! Now go and do that! <3

A.B.C-Z goodness randomness. For the record, I actually do like them now. The segnement with the letters from fans was random. Fujigaya needs to get a new haircut. :(  Performance of Vanilla! Hasshi and kawai Fumito made the fangirls squee. A lot. Fumito is actually really popular. :) I don't see why not (but yeah, he's not really the OMG ikemen! type).

Butoukan performing Now and Forever made me happy. Tackey knew what he was doing when he put together this group, ne? Me and Kath always thought that there should be more of them, but we already know they there won't be much since some members are from Musical Academy or A.B.C.-Z or Kis-My-Ft2. I can't get used to Senga's hair. Please go back to brown hair~~~!

And then... TAKIZAWA HIDEAKI! I didn't really remember that he was also going to appear. D: Tackey is always, always cool. I like they both Tackey and Tsubasa also do solo work, but I want them to keep releasing work together. Tackey's shiny suit disctracted me a lot. I hope his stage play/show went well. I heard good reviews. Also, SHA LA LA is very jazzy. Sparkly red scarf~~~ Hahahhaha!

Mother/Father performed by pretty much everyone and that was the end of Shokura. I think Yamapi is coming in the next one. I don't think I read something about another guest. Since Koyama will be there, do you reckon they'd sing Ginza Rhapsody? I really, really want to hear that song. Someone posted a live version over at [info]news_jpop , but since it's live the quality isn't too good. They should just release the Winter Party Diamond of DVD rather than giving us glimpses with the Koi no ABO single. >_<

Anyway, I wonder if anyone will provide subtitles. I know there were a few parts I did not quite get. I miss Juniors in Q~~~ ¬_¬
edit: this is what happens when I don't chech my inbox before I wrtie an entry. [info]newshfan already subbed the Abake part. <3

Ummm... yeah. Enough fangirlying about JE and back to normal things. I need to type up the randomness that was Sunday. 8D

The random news are these:

I haven't bothered to get the Kanjani8 album "Puzzle" yet. Yet after listening to the recorded version of Misetekure for what feels the first time... I think I'll hurry to the K8 community and get it. 

In addition, I'm pretty sure there's a pre-release of the KAT-TUN album, right? I haven't checked. But it gets released in a day anyway. I'd like to listen to Kame's solo again. It's very pretty.

I discovered that Miyavi is coming to London. I never way a big fan, so I don't plan on going. However, Green Day are also coming in October. My only problem is that the concert will be at the O2 arena, which means that the tickets will be expensive. I don't like this.

I've been catching up with Heroes since I've watched House up to ep 21 and there's no more. I just finished the third volume (Villains) and now watching the fourth, Fugitives. Petrelli dad is a bastard. A good bad guy. I hate his guts. He already died. For real this time. Hopefully. Nathan is an ass. He should also die. I'd say that I feel disappointed, but it doesn't compare to the despair of what they've done to Peter's character. I want to weep. Claire!barbie is annoying me in a similar way that Akanishi Jin is. She's so annoying... I want to punch both of them. Maybe Claire a bit harder. Hiro is sitll awesome as always. It was nice meeting his mother as well. Lame the way Petrelli dad got the catalyst from him. Also, evil!Sylar is back. I'm happy. He makes a great villain. I felt sorry for Elle although she was a bitch at first. :( Never mind.

I just got the episodes 14 to 23, so I'll sit and watch some more. BTW, does something horrible happen to Mohinder? I really want it to. Stupid character. He was so cool in season 1.

Chaging the subject to nothing else than xxxHolic. The latest chapter almost made me cry. I can't imagine a world where Yuuko did not exist. How is possible that no one remembers her like she was never there? It's the worse. I can't blame Watanuki for reacting the way he did. It looks like he'll find out what is happening soon.

I miss the WTFness that Tsubasa is lately. There hasn't been a new chapter for half a month now. Then again that was announced wasn't it? I'll wait patiently and catch up/finish Shugo Chara, Bloody Monday, Skip Beat and Koukou Debut. in the meanwhile.

I discovered a promising new Japanese drama. It started on the 15th of April. Kawashiwa Umika (Fujimaru's sister from Bloody Monday, also in Code Blue and now a classmate of Yamada, Nakajima and Chinen) is acting in this. I got redirected to her profile somehow and checked the latest drama since it read 2009. It's called Aishiteru. Human drama about how a boy killed another boy and how everyone copes with the tragedy. I don't know if anyone will provide subtitles... I hope so.

Shiroi Haru with Abe Hiroshi seems interesting. I'll continue to watch it since I'd like to find out what happened. Endou Yuya's new hair is going to take some time to get used to.

Godhand Teru (or God Hand Teru as TimeLess seem to prefer) is so epic that it will blow your mind away. エピクすぎる!!!It's hard to watch due to the epicness. I really hope that all episodes won't be like the first one. I nearly died. Kath as well since we were watching it together.

Smile with Matsumoto Jun and Aragaki Yui was better than I thought. Then again I tried to keep my expectations really low. MatsuJun has grown as an actor and it was nice seeing that. Aragaki Yui was really, really, really cute. Poor Bito got framed. ;A;

Geh~ I don't have any other news. I keep thinking about finishing one or the other book that I have unfinished but since I didn't even sleep propper hours I never felt motivated enough. I'm doing better now concidering that I actually slept during the night. I got up around 4:30 because there's only so much sleep you can get. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to get up at a decent morning hour. I need to set some priorities...

Do you guys know the Paris Japan Expo? I'm sure some of you do... I was on their website to check about the tickets (which are really note that bad) and I discovered random other guests in the addiction to CLAMP.

So it's the 10th anniversary for Japan Expo and the 20th anniversary for CLAMP. I say that's a pretty good combination.
They're going to hold a signing and a "get yoru questions answered" panel. Of course the questions are submitted online through the website and the best ones will make it, but it works. I'm sure they'll get tons (and they probably need the time to translate them). The deadline for the questions is on the 15th of May. I wonder if I should submit something.O_O

Ai Yazawa (NANA, Paradise Kiss) is also going to be there. I never really read much of NANA, watched the 2 live action films and some 40 episodes of the anime... but I really love ParaKiss. It was so cute and so pretty~! 

In addition the Live Stage aka concert for this year will be AKB48. Team A will hold a concert... past guests have been X Japan, Halcali, Plastic Tree and so on. AKB48 sure are a good enough way of showing what a Japanese idol is. The female part of the idol world anyway. Do you think that they'd bring some JE group to show the male idols? YES PLEASE! *isshot*

It feels like they really went for the cute/shoujo/happy and rather girly look this time. I really don't mind. Although I have listened to AKB48 repeatedly in the past and I don't mind them (they're songs amuse me most of the time and Iike it when they are playing in the background when I draw/sketch anything), they are not the reason I really want to go. I said I'd go last year, but it didn't work out due to cost. This time with CLAMP and AI Yazawa I'd really hate it if I missed this.

Next year, please call for Takeshi Obata Konomi~ etiher... both!

Flight tickets to Paris are so cheap right now! TwT

I hear rain on the window. What's ですよ! I can't believe the weather is crap again. It was fine and sunny and it felt like actual spring, but April is a very weird month in England. I want it to be summer weather for the sole reason of slightly increased temperature because it's not that different in the end. It makes me wish for Greek summer and that's not something many people enjoy. :( Guh~ I demand SUN! Now!

I want to get June's Myojo. The scans made me cry in joy~ *happy* That has to be one of the best if not THE best Hey! Say! JUMP photoshoot ever. Good photography FTW! Usually they really don't pay attention. >_< hahahahahhahhaha

I read another 5 chapters of Bloody Monday. >_< I won't comment until I read all the scanlations. Also reading Shugo Chara because I always wanted to and I can't fins Shugo Chara Doki to download. I'll comment on another entry about that. I feel the need to check out Special A. :O

Last night I had the best dream ever. I'm going to write it down later, simply because there is no way I'll forget it and I'm still watching House MD.

Speaking of House, season 4 had the saddest ending ever! TT_TT Poor Wilson. Poor Amber. House overdosing in order to remember. Priceless moments. I really liked it even though it was the period with the writer's strike. I'm on season 5 at last.

That photography book and the X-Men trilogy arrived today. The postman said something that I still can't remember what it was. I mean I was really not paying attention and just took the package. D: Hahhahahahhaha~

The book is pretty interesting, so I'll start reading tomorrow.
I need to go and get a new notebook for the notes. I like how the author wrote the book for both film and digital.

Going back to season 5. :)

I decided to finally go through my friends list and see what is going on there. I've had random people add me and I've had others remove me, so I really wanted to check up on that.

I pretyt much went through everyone's journal and added your entries to my subscriptions. Now I will be getting ALL your entries and I'll be able to keep up with your news. I really want to get back in touch with my flist. You're too awesome, after all. If we've never talked, I'll try to read your entries and comment~  ^_________^ If you want feel free to add me on any of the instant messengers on my profile. I installed one of those messegers that make my life easier, so I'll try to be online more. :)

Anyway.... some journals that seemed to be inactive or all the entries were deleted or I was removed and we didn't seem to have things in common anymore. Those people were removed, but if you want me to add you back and so on let me know. I'm sorry if I removed someone by accident. >______<

I'm currently trying to organize my time in order to make more out of a single day. So much time feels wasted and I really don't like it. I need to start getting photography books for the Research Folder and generally do a lot of work. Must get organized now! 

I don't know if anyone else on my flist is into photography. *that I'm not aware of* If so, please tell me what kind of phtography you like and/or your favourite artists/photographers. I'd love to know. I'm really undecided on whose work I like. I usually stare at the photograph and then decide if I like it or not. I think my tutor at the university would kill me if I said that in class. Hahahahhahahaha~

I just read the latest Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle chapter. Oh my goodness! After so many chapters of xxxHolic we find out something big abotu Yuuko in Tsubasa. Ever since Cardcaptor Sakura my opinion of Clow Reed keeps changing. I've thought of him as this really cool character and then there's this other side of him that seems like his an ass. You know, the selfish type. While that would explain a lot, including Fei Wang's attitude, I don't think I was Clow to turn out to be this way. I feel sorry for Yuuko. She must have been through a lot.

Tsubasa will go on a break till Issue 16 (and assuming that's the 16th week of the year that means that no new chapter will be released till mid-April or so). I hope there's still xxxHolic though.

Speaking of manga, be proud of me Flist! I have already read the first 92 chapters of Skip Beat! I dedicated an entire day and read about 50 chapters the day before yesterday. I'm happy I could at least concentrate enough to read so much of a Shoujo manga in one take. :D It's a very nice and funny storyline. I like it a lot. Kyoko is a great character (typical shoujo manga, but really good nevertheless).

I'm going to read the rest of Skit Beat and read the few chapters I've found of Bloody Monday. I want to read it and see what the characters are really meant to be like. I will always love Miura's Takagi though. It wouldn't be the same without him.

I signed up in a webcomic website. I'm not sure if I should ever use it for anything besides reading other people's stuff, but anyway.

Back to reality, my cold is stil here. I want to sneeze most of the time (and it's not those simple ones, but the kind of sneeze that makes your chest hurt). At least slept well yesterday. I want this cold to go away NAO! It's so annoying and my head hurts almost constantly (but not in the feverish sense anymore, so I put up with it). GUH~

Note to self: try to NOT get sick again this year! This is so going to fail.


Happy Birthday to Yukimura Seiichi (March 5th) because I love you. I meant to doodle on oC, but then there wasn't enough time. I'll post the small drawing when I finish it.
