June...
6月了 我想我這幾天會緊張到睡不著覺 @____@
I finally got the letter from my elementary school... after visiting it 4 times in a week... just waiting for one more letter.... I hope everything will work... I'm actually missing a few months X____X but I heard from a friend in JET, he didn't even provide anything and he got the visa... but then, JET is government supported program, maybe things are easier for them...
****************************
it's after I owned a PSP that I realize DS' graphic sucks!!!!! I was playing Taiko no Tatsujin on PSP then I switched to DS and went "WOW" it's sooooooooooo pixlelated!!! and it's ironic that the game is actually more interesting on PSP...
what I wanna say is, why is every RPG releasing on DS instead of PSP????? I don't want RPG on DS >_____< it's such a waste for the CG!!!! FF4 has such good CG but why is the gameplay graphic is still the same as before??
World Destruction is the next RPG I'm looking forward to(Hiro配音!!! 害我好想買正版的 gonna be my 2nd official release game XDD 如果英文版也是他配就好了) and it's on DS again.... I guess it's cheaper to produce game on DS? and games on DS tend to sell better??? sigh 就連CC也只賣了80萬 怎麼會這麼少呢 那些玩過FF7的人都不會想玩CC嗎?? (is Square ever gonna release Kingdom Hearts on PSP?)
PSP現在只剩下guys oriented的dating game了嗎? (girls oriented的請去玩DS)

[Last Friends]真是越看越悶 I'm so tired of the leaving -> come back formula... and 瑠可is such a #$%&*_(&*#%_(@$ how can she be so mean to someone that just confessed to her??? even if you don't like him, you can be more considerate... 竟然叫剛跟自己告白的男生去喜歡別人 還當著他的面跟別的男人約會... what a cruel girl... 雖然不知道他得的是什麼病 但是這個年代 同性戀根本沒什麼大不了吧 要是我發現有朋友是同性戀 我也不會有歧視
如我所願 Gokusen收視明顯下降了 XDD 21.1% CHANGE收視率也稍微低了一點 22.4% 月9終於稱冠了.... 這一季真是讓然有點失望
忍成修吾已經確定會演出[魔王] after this one he would've actually been in the same dorama with EVERY Arashi members (and countless Johnny's) 出道n年 但是一直演不紅的那種 開始有印象的應該是Takki的[太陽の季節]吧

I went back to my elementary school again, and gave them my report cards. Since they were so busy and couldn't even spare 5 min to me, they asked me to come back and pick up the letter another.... hopefully they won't give me a call and tell me the same excuse..............

Memories are nice...
because they are just memories
my work is still on the wall!!!!!! somehow it didnt look as good as I thought... oh well, but we did got the high mark in the class =)
also went back to my elementary school.... never really liked it... I actually talked to the principal, she acted so kind and made everything short but about 30 min after I left, the secretary called me and said the principal will not write me the letter because 1) they have no record (wtf, you don't even have the files on computer??) 2) the principal don't know me in person.... I was so pissed, I felt like they were just trying to kick me out of the place and don't want any trouble... it's not like I'm asking for a reference letter, THE PRINCIPAL DON'T NEED TO KNOW ME IN PERSON!!! I tried asking if I can provide proof like report cards etc, but the secretary is just repeating the same thing. And the interesting thing is, my friend got the EXACT SAME response... they probably had a hand book for Q&A memorized....... Canada's gay system.... need to call the Ontario Board of Education tmr, but I bet they will kick the ball back to my elementary school =_____="

假面騎士
please don't close your browser yet XDD
看完[KABUTO]篇後深深愛上了[假面騎士]系列~~ 原來這是個專出美少年的連續劇XDDD [電王]篇 是由佐藤健主演 當然 我之前並不認識他 他所演的騎士可以說是史上最弱的騎士 也可以說最衰的? 變身後是由不同的"魔神"附身 每個都有不同的個性 非常極端的個性 非常搞笑+熱鬧 故事是講搭乘時光電車的女主角在阻止"異魔神"危害人間 遇到了男主角 而男主角是萬中無一的體質 成為了"電王"
08年的[KIVA]篇更合我胃口 是講吸血鬼的故事 (雖然看到現在還是不太明白...) 男主角瀬戸康史(D-Boys成員)實在是超級美少年!!!! 絕對是史上最可愛的騎士 XDD 我覺得比現在的Johnny's Jr.優太多了 anywayz, 故事是在2008與1986年跳著進行的 兩個第二男主角是屬於一個叫Pure Boys的團體 (類似D-Boys)武田航平與加藤慶祐 更讓我驚訝的是原來他們兩人都有在[花君]裡出現!!!!!! (now I wanna watch it for the 3rd time...) 武田航平所演的紅爸爸是個超級搞笑有點輕浮的角色 因為是在1986年所以服裝跟髮型都非常old style看了讓人想笑
最後[KABUTO]篇 老實說一開始打算隨便看看的 但是出乎我意料的好看 =P heeee 原來假面騎士是這樣的啊 跟我想像的差好遠 我imagine的是會講老套台詞 例如"維護正義與和平" etc 但是完全不是 男主角天道總司是個超自信 覺得自己是天下第一的人 確實他真的是什麼都會 尤其是料理 每次看都看到我差點流口水 對妹妹超好 (天道妹妹超可愛的) 他絕對是一個以自己為中心的人 他的正義感也是以自己為準 故事是講7年前隕石掉落在日本澀谷 並帶來了"異蟲" (但是其實之前就有了)屬於ZECT是有騎士系統 以消滅異蟲為目標的組織 當然 天道並不署於ZECT 第2男主角加賀美新是一個與天道很大對比的角色 由山本裕典(花均有演出, Junon Super Boys)演出的神代劍 我覺得完全是為了搞笑而存在 XD 他演的是一個家道中落的貴族 鬧出很多笑話~
以小孩的point of view, 我想應該是電王或是KIVA比較好看 因為色彩分明 故事簡單 壞人都有思想 也可以跟變身的那個"東西"對話 KABUTO似乎缺少了一點fantasy 故事跟笑話都稍微有點成熟 小孩真的看的懂嗎? 但是非常適合大人看XDD
***************************
anyway, 我開始準備日本行了 (連去不去的成都還是未知數說) 今天去買了hdd+enclosure 比想像中還容易install 果然 任何事都要試過才知道 本來是打算買pre-made但是被罵笨 最後決定分開買
接下來要去小學跟高中 好懷念哦 不知道高中實畫的mural還在不在*___* we spent about half of the term on that!!! awwww, I had so much fun in art courses back then....
(最近有在運動 但是食量反而變大了 X____X 真是一點用也沒有...)

[CHANGE] episode 2 - 23.0%
下降了 0.8%... I guess it's not too bad.... that means most people are satisfied with the first episode? Gokusen's rating needs to go down!!! 雖然我也不是不能明白年輕美眉喜歡看帥哥的心情... 可是木拓也是帥哥啊!!! anyway, I haven't watch the 2nd episode yet... cuz most Chinese sites are down these few days....
米倉涼子下一季要演律師!!!! 片名是[Monster Parent]?? 也就是說是那種很bitchy的家長?? I can't wait to see!!!
山P 新垣結衣 戸田恵梨香要演醫生 [Code☆Blue] (what's with the star?????) google後才知道是醫生用語 meaning patient requiring immediate resuscitation.... and wth, they are are too young to be doctors!!! 新垣美眉的名字竟然在戸田恵梨香前面!!! 風水輪流轉啊 Gal Circle時明明就是戸田恵梨香是主角 新垣結衣只是個大配角 (雖然我覺得鈴木Emi最漂亮 :p) 看野豬的時候還滿喜歡戸田恵梨香的 但是越看越覺得普通 而且還是新垣美眉演的比較好 演什麼像什麼
織田裕二要演月9.... 不知道女主角是誰... 但是織田叔叔一把年紀來能演月9真讓人佩服 深田恭子也有新戲~ 大野智跟生田斗真主演的[魔王]實在是逋知道該不該期待.... it's Oh-chan's first lead dorama T___T (when will I get to see Hiro's main lead dorama....)
好期待啊 下一季好像很精采~

(Ura is updated)
placed my order at Yesasia, I can't make the same mistake again :p need to pre-order Arashi release ASAP nowadays... I remember I used to place the order around 2 days before the release date and can still get limited edition... (actually, Arashi's limited edition usually won't be sold out after a month....)
KT's new single became the best first week selling single in 2008... 38.2萬 in the first week... I still don't get why Step and Go did so well... does it really sounds that good? NO... is the PV good? NO, it's one of their cheapest PV and it has the worst cover design ever (still better than KT's, here, maybe CD with ugly cover will sell better?) take a look at the chart:
lol, they are all Johnny's... Japan's music industry is all about boyband nowadays... (EXILE, 羞恥心, WaT, 東方神起 etc...) what happened to the rock band era?? awww.... So proud of Arashi, this is their 9th year after debut, and they are doing as good as KT!!! Hope [One Love] will be a big hit, since it's the theme song for Hana Yori Dango the Movie!!! and I actually think it sounds goodcuz it sounds like MY ALL

got a paper cut when I was flipping through Wink-Up.... ouch, 好痛 紙好厚 ;____; I so wanna kill myself for being so cheap.... why da hell did I sell my magazines???????? T______T 太久沒上學的關係嗎? 我記得我以前很少paper cut的啊...
我開始下[假面騎士~電王]了XDD 8GB, 一年前的東西 不知道要down多久...
雖然不想承認 但是我其實還滿喜歡KAT-TUN的歌的.... 新歌[DON'T U EVER STOP] 還不錯聽 (only if they can cut the rap part) 但是我還是覺得KT跳舞跳的太隨便了 完全沒有齊!! 而且感覺沒有認真的在跳
Arashi今年的演唱會場刊好讚啊!!! 超~~~~~帥 totally love it!!! especially how they combine 2D art with real person!!! *o* 討厭啊 今年沒的看 >___< I don't wanna see/hear anything about the concert!!!!!!!!!! (希望有人會幫我買週邊 我想要海報 但是好像很難帶...) is it just me or Arashi's [ONE LOVE] sounds like Ayu's [MY ALL]? (ok, maybe just a tiny bit) and it's interesting how GLAY had an album called [ONE LOVE], Ayu had an album track called [1 LOVE] and now Arashi is releasing a single called [ONE LOVE](you Johnny's should be the last people on earth to talk about "one love")
PSP的大力工頭 畫面超可愛的 山口勝平的聲音我好喜歡 =P
wondering why I'm actually updating EVERYDAY recently? well... I'm actually worrying about "something".... 煩到晚上睡不著覺 X___X things are not going the way I want... this is life.... (*goes back and watch more Hiro*)

本人對洗髮精還小有研究 小時後我的頭髮很差 自然捲 (當然現在也是 只是現在有後天補救XD) 加上毛噪 反正一個字來形容 - 糟
直到我遇見了MA CHERIE XDD 其實一開始是在電視上看到的 竟然有個特別節目專門(日本的)介紹這個洗髮精 (Taiwan has all kind of weird Japanese shows on TV) 講的真的很神奇 我又是喜歡試新東西的人 所以買來用 從此 再也沒有人說我髮質差了
雖然一直都用MA CHERIE 中途也有用一些其他的 基本上都是看了廣告才去買的 :p 有島袋寬子(SPEED)的Tessera, 伴都美子(DAI主唱)的LAVENUS, 柴崎幸的Salon Style, 有一年LUX出過綠茶口味的 我也買過, 仲間由紀惠的AQUAIR (我是抵不住廣告誘惑的人XD) 直到SHISEIDO砸重金去打廣告的TSUBAKI 說到這個TSUBAKI, 我想史上不會有有比這個更誇張的代言人了
初代: 仲間由紀恵･竹内結子･ 田中麗奈･広末涼子･観月ありさ･上原多香子
現在: 仲間由紀恵･竹内結子･ 田中麗奈･広末涼子･観月ありさ･相沢紗世・香里奈・黒木メイサ・鈴木京香・蒼井優･杏・生方ななえ
all these people just for a 30 seconds CM.... @____@ 但是我想主打還是仲間由紀惠 新宿地鐵站的柱子上都是他的海報 不見其他人的 (maybe at other stations?) 但是我用過這麼多不同的洗髮精 最後都有同一個感想: 還是MA CHERIE最好用!!! 這次也不例外 TSUBAKI用到只剩1/4了 於是拿出MA CHERIE出來 打算替換著用 果然 還是MA CHERIE最好用!!! 洗完後頭髮比較軟也比較滑!!! 對TSUBAKI有點失望 話這麼多錢宣傳... 結果並沒有特別好用 也沒有特別香 (說到香 比不上Tessera) 話雖如此 但是我知道我還是會去試白色系列的 XDDD (I don't learn from my mistake)
話說 前幾天去大統華 被別人塞了一個韓國洗髮精的sample 本來真的一點興趣也沒有的 說是韓國的名牌 成分有人參 等奇奇怪怪的中藥 而且顏色一點也不convincing 可是那個sales講的有多神奇 說用了立刻見效 用了以後頭髮會恢復光則 變柔順 好像說我頭髮很糟的樣子 =P 已經多少年沒被人這樣說過了 我心想 本小姐也是用日本的名牌ㄟ而且日本人頭髮比較漂亮 後來喵到一個package of shampoo and conditioner竟然要價$45!!!! 於是收下了!!! 老是忘記用 我到要看看有多神奇 =P 但是就算好用我也不會花$45去買洗髮精的 =P

dorama感想
[Last Friends]
kowai, Ryo-chan!!!!!!! gyaaaa, why do you have to play this kind of character? Souji is such an as*hole, why did the jimusho accept this kind of role??? he's a Johnny's, he should be the MAIN lead.... 就算不是主角應該也要像遙斗那樣啊... 有點幻滅的感覺... 美知留好讓人同情喔 但是我還是不明白 為什麼被打還是可以繼續喜歡他呢... 覺得好像有點開始拖戲了 the storyline is so repetitive, Michiru goes back to Souji's place, get beat up and then go back to the share house.... 預告也是亂七八糟的 好像會喜歡上Takeshi?????
[絕對彼氏]
這已經成為我最期待的了 (for the obvious reason :p) 上一集預告創始說出了"好きなんだ" 害我超期待這一集 沒想到下一句是"お前のシュクリーム" 實在是太混帳了 是誰edit那個預告的啊
awww 但是梨衣子明顯已經喜歡上創志了啊 *___* 預告看到他們抱在一起 但是我已經決定不在相信那可惡的預告了 但是創志 實在是跟天道差很遠 好難想像是同一個人 果然是"演員"
[花ざかりの君たちへ]
好想看SP啊~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Julia竟然是美波演... 算了 不過拿頭金髮實在是很假 I can't wait to see 難波先輩
我最近愛上了[假面超人] XDDDDDDDDDD 天道實在是太~~~~~~~帥了 應該說 有這種哥哥真好~ I want a brother like that too... 天道妹妹也好可愛喔~ (and Hiro is so...... macho 手臂上都是肌肉 @___@ 手上的血管/筋也好明顯 sugoi... something you don't see from Johnny's :p) 現在連07年的"電王"跟08年的"KIVA"都想看~ 不過看別人說 Hiro演的是史上最強的rider~ 不過我想一定也是最有自信的一個 =P

今天在聽GLAY... awwww, Iused to like them so much (NO, I STILL LOVE THEM!!!!) 以前的戨 最近也來複習一下吧 總覺太久沒聽 重聽可能會哭出來

awww 但是梨衣子明顯已經喜歡上創志了啊 *___* 預告看到他們抱在一起 但是我已經決定不在相信那可惡的預告了 但是創志 實在是跟天道差很遠 好難想像是同一個人 果然是"演員"
[花ざかりの君たちへ]
好想看SP啊~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Julia竟然是美波演... 算了 不過拿頭金髮實在是很假 I can't wait to see 難波先輩
我最近愛上了[假面超人] XDDDDDDDDDD 天道實在是太~~~~~~~帥了 應該說 有這種哥哥真好~ I want a brother like that too... 天道妹妹也好可愛喔~ (and Hiro is so...... macho 手臂上都是肌肉 @___@ 手上的血管/筋也好明顯 sugoi... something you don't see from Johnny's :p) 現在連07年的"電王"跟08年的"KIVA"都想看~ 不過看別人說 Hiro演的是史上最強的rider~ 不過我想一定也是最有自信的一個 =P

Legend
說到legend當然是在說X-Japan~ Tokyo Dome後上禮拜開了戶外演唱會 很多歌星做嘉賓 (連DJ Ozma都有份?? 對了 他跟那堆應該很熟...) 但是為什麼GLAY沒有去呢? :( 我想看Teru唱MISERY或是Tell Me... 算了 就算沒去 對GLAY來說 hide還是永遠尊敬的前輩 5月2號 Teru在blog上寫了這些話:
"僕らが尊敬する先輩、HIDEさんの命日。
僕ら、自慢の後輩になってるでしょうか？"
如果你認為你是GLAY fan但是卻不知道X-Japan 身為fan你完全失格 Yoshiki是當初發掘GLAY的人 也是GLAY第一張單曲的producer(也只有第一張 =P) 但是其實真正發現GLAY的是hide 沒有X-Japan就沒有GLAY 這樣說一點也不過份 GLAY開了3次Expo都唱了MISERY 說是唱給天上的hide...
hide的死至今還是一個謎 沒有人願意相信是自殺 X-Japan成為神話是因為hide的死嗎? hide本人也說過類似"人死了才會成為傳說"的話... anyway, 當年的葬禮引來了5萬的歌迷 可以去巨蛋開了 (sorry, I don't mean to sound rude :p) 有這麼多歌迷為自己哭 也算是幸福了吧 (這是什麼理論啊:p) 10年後 X-Japan的人氣一點也沒也下降 開了3場巨蛋演唱會 (Sho, Toma, did you guys go?) 這個年頭沒什麼人做的到了又不是Johnny's 椄下來要去巴黎 台北 紐約 其實我實在不懂為什麼X-Japan可以紅到過外去... (其實我也只聽過精選 :p 他們的ballad真的很合我胃口)
話說 X-Japan 8月到台灣開唱 地點竟然不是小巨蛋 而是"World Trade Center" 那是哪裡啊? LOL 是世貿中心 so close to where I live, ehhhh 但是那並適合開演唱會啊 雖然確實是很大 說要動員3萬人!!! 天啊 創紀錄了 果然是天團!!!!
Yoshiki說以前曾收到上萬封來自台灣的信 請X-Japan去台灣開演唱會 而且還是寄去LA的 fans還真是神通廣大 新聞上看到"大陸歌迷還上網說，上萬連署對人口眾多的大陸來說根本不算什麼，請X JAPAN一定要到大陸開唱。" ... 這種事就別比了吧 再說台灣人口才2000萬 也就是說是1/2000的人 你們也去找1/2000的人去寫信啊 =P
8月2號... 我也好想親自去體驗這個創造神話的天團 雖然稱不上是fan 但是我還很感謝慧眼識英雄的他們 =P
(小小的PS, X-Japan的"HIDE"是唸做"hii-de" L'arc en ciel的是唸做"hy-do" 別在唸錯了 :p)
************************
氷室京介要上幫KT寫的[Keep the faith] 而且是由Hisashi編曲 *o* 好期待 終於不用聽那難聽的rap了 (I actually like the song A LOT, it's totally my cup of tea, 給KT唱太浪費了) 歌詞也會有變 "You show me the faith" -> "I show you the faith"(geez, you need 'll or ed in that sentense)

[CHANGE]
Episode 1's rating is 23.8%...... disappointed... I kinda know it's not gonna hit 30% BUT IT SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE HIGHER RATING THAN GOKUSEN 3!!!!!! 太沒天理了.... 我想大概是這不是大家想看到的木村拓哉 第一集裡 男主角啓太是一個沒什麼大志的小學老師 被強迫參加選舉... 跟以前看到的帥氣的木拓有點距離 但是很明顯他會越來越像政治家 然後最後當上總理 @____@ 第一集都還是很溫和的劇情 但是講政治的故事 就一定有鉤心鬥角之類的吧 I think it's gonna get really good!!! 而且拍攝手法很讚 一開始真的是很帥 深津絵里跟阿部寬都好有型~ 為什麼會輸給Gokusen????? 我想看Gokusen的人都是看ikemen的吧... [CHANGE]每一集都送車呢!! 真是大手筆 and it's Toyota too~ looks pretty nice, I want it too :p
說到日本15歲以下的小孩只有1500萬人 但是寵物卻有2300萬隻 XDD 寵物竟然比人多 日本的人口老化問題真的很嚴重 (我的話也會想養寵物instead of小孩)
好奇怪喔 為什麼翻譯組會把"eco"翻成"自我"呢 應該是"ecology"的eco吧? 是"環保"的意思啊 之前[Around 40]也翻成了"自我" (難道聽成"ego"??)
*******************
話說Johnny's 好像後繼無人了 這次竟然又是跟別人W主演 (之前[偵探學園Q]也是) 而且不管怎麼看都是 三浦春馬比較帥 :p
但是Gokusen好像真的出了很多ikemen...
第一部:
- 松本潤 :p
- 小栗旬 - 現在的no. 1男優
- 成宮寛貴
- 上地雄輔 - he's the guy in 羞恥心 (OMG, he was in Gokusen 1??)
- 石垣佑磨 - 花君裡的第1寮寮長
- 松山ケンイチ - L from death note (EHHHHHHH???)
第二部:
- 亀梨和也
- 赤西仁
- 速水もこみち - 演過月9 (雖然創下史上第2低收視的紀錄XD)
- 小池徹平
- 小出恵介
- 水嶋ヒロ - don't need to say much :p (大配角 XDD)

是我現在的心情 :p 我的惡夢終於結束了!!! (hopefully...) 總覺得時間變的好多 本來應該在唸書的時間現在變的沒事做了 (今天發神經竟然跑去做gym!!) 我的星期天終於自由了!!! T___T I've been going to Market Village every Sunday for like 3 months? (actually, I'm still going tmr, for dinner :p)
*************************
someone said she wanna smack me for falling so hard on hiro XDDDD by all means, do it!!! 我自己也覺得很guilty, when was the last time I read other Arashi members' magazine interview??? (*hide in shame*) (but I realized the difference between Johnny's and non-Johnny's, non-Johnny's artists talk A LOT about their private life) 我連山田太郎都沒看完 花男2也是multi-tasking的時候看的 但是我之前竟然去重看花君!!! 終於看了Arashi最近的節目 我竟然不知道Jun不喜歡吃甜食(Hiro超愛吃甜食 早餐竟然吃蛋糕)
I watched quite a lot of those promotion, variety show, AWWWWW 為什麼一群男生可以玩的這麼開心 *____* 女生一定不可能這麼融洽~ 小栗旬真的是很搞笑 而且給人感覺人很好(應該說Johnny's以外都讓人覺得人很好?) 他今年真的很紅呢 高中女生票選的最想要的藝人男朋友 擊敗眾多Johnny's藝人 真的是不簡單!!! 但是其實我一直都不覺得他帥 until [花樣男子] 演的比Jun好太多了 XD 而且花澤類是裡面最難演的腳色 果然是實力派~ 最令我佩服的是 竟然公開承認了跟山田優的關係 說了類似"他是我最重要的女朋友"的話 AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW~~~~ 身為idol 身在日本這種淘汰率超快的社會 at the peak of his career 竟然會公開承認有女朋友 我真的打從心底尊敬他!!! *_____* (傳聞Johnny's正在打壓他) SP什麼時候才播啊!!!! 難波學長 *o* I wanna see him playing soccer!!!! 但是其實我看漫畫的時候難波學長只是我第2喜歡的 我比較喜歡他叔叔 梅田 =P 真人版就別提了....
上戶彩演的[熱血律師]其實還滿好看的 I like this kinda topic a lot (loved last season's 佐佐木夫婦) 但是上戶彩的腳色實在是太遜了 不夠聰明 一點用都沒有 北村一輝好有型啊 りょう也是 律師真是讓人感到帥氣的職業 =P Hopefully, 上戶彩 is gonna become like one of them at the end... 但是故事讓人感到無奈 法律根本就沒有辦法保護人民 讓我想起龍櫻裡說的話 "笨蛋才會被法律欺壓" 第3集裡的那個少年 好眼熟 原來是假面騎士裡的加賀美新!!!! awwww, 感覺有點慘 Hiro已經在演第2男主角了...

In Love With KimuTaku
lol, sorry about the title, I'm getting excited after seeing the pictures of CHANGE's promotion posters in Tokyo~ lovely, even though they are colourless (reminded me of Galileo's promotion poster though). I don't know what kind of magic this mid 30 guy has, but I always have the same excitement before his dorama is about to start.
I can't even remember when I started to like KimuTaku. The first dorama I saw him was [愛情白皮書] but of course I didn't remember him from it (since his character was not so likable... and I was too young :p) then I saw him in [Long Vacation] around 1997? (omg, that's 11 years ago!!!). I loved it as a dorama but not particularly for him. The next dorama I watched was [Sleeping Forest] which was actually recommanded by a friend, I still remember she said "it's got your fav KimuTaku", I went "eeehhhhhh" lol, I was still in the denying stage toward my fandom in "Johnny's". Actually, I was shocked that she thought I'm a fan, cuz I definitely wasn't a fan (yet) back then. So I watched [Sleeping Forest] and totally loved it!!! I guess I was too young back then to tell if he is a good actor or not. I became a fan of his "dorama" ever since(I actually watched "some" SMAP concerts back then, their Amigo Dome Tour was amazing).
I didn't really like [Love Generation], but I never lose my faith in him. I totally loved [Beautiful Life], it's definitely one of my all time favourite j-dorama. Didn't really liked [HERO] but loved [Good Luck!!]. Some fans think [Pride] is his best work, which really made me go "huh?" I think that's one of the worse j-drama I've ever seen in my life, the story line is like some Chinese soap-opera (but I think most fans actually think the plot is what is attractive?). I have no idea if really lik "Kimura Takuya" or I simply like his acting or the fact that KimuTaku labelled dorama has quality guaranteed. To me, [華麗一族] is his best work ever!! This is the dorama that I'll remember and still like it after 10 or 20 years (wait, I think I'll remember all of his dorama). He proved to us that he is not just someone dressed oshare and play the prince role.Even though he didn't really shine in that dorama, everyone around him all had amazing acting skill...
This is guy is not the best looking actor in Japan, he can't be considered as tall XD, and he doesn't have the acting skill that reflects the rating of his dorama. But there is some magic within him to draw 1/3 of the Japanese population's attention, to stay home and sit in front of the TV every week, year after year. I'm tired of seeing stupid Johnny's fans saying OOOO is the next KimuTaku, there's not going to be another KimuTaku, it's not gonna be Jun, Kame, Akanishi nor YamaP. I don't think anyone can ever break KimuTaku's record and status, he's THE one and ONLY one =P
I'm so excited to see what he's gonna show us in [CHANGE] with an amazing cast again!!! A role that no one has challenged before (?) gyaaaa, imagine if you have a prime minister like that *o* TWO MORE DAYS!!!

I only have 2 more days left!!!! and I still feel like I don't remember anyhting X___X 我怎麼覺得這比我大學考過所有的試還難 (at least there are m/c or t/f in U .... ) am I too old for this exam?? my memory capacity is no longer enough for this amount of information??
***********************
So Monday was my first Japanese class (after 7 years :p) there are only 6 ppl in the class, which is good~ I was kinda nervouse at first cuz I don't know if I'm at that level yet (lv 5)... The instructor is such a nice person, with a great sense of humour~ I think lv 5 is not hard at all just that I'm not that comfortable in speaking (yet :p)... Once again, I was surprised by Western ppl's language ability!!! OMG, 外國人 are so talented at learning foreign languages.... (I was so shocked when I met this White guy who spoke fluent Mandarin to me in Quebec a few years ago) how did he learn writing kanji so fast??? I know because I learned those words already =P how did they memorized those complicated kanji so fast??? @____@ but the kanji part was fun, 好像回到小學 好懷念的方格 同樣的字要重複寫 按照筆劃 AAWWWWWWW~
so during my break (*cough*cough*) I was watching the stuff that I downloadedI'm busy downloading Hiro's stuff, don't even have time to dl the latest Arashi shows 原來Hiro是毅力家!!! 竟然在1個星期裡減了10公斤!!! 說是一天只吃麵包跟喝水 然後跑5個小時 但是這是很不健康的方法 不建議別人這樣做 XD 但是現在這樣實在是太瘦了 @____@ 簡直比Johnny's還瘦... 但是還真的有人這麼接近"完美" 頭腦好(慶應大學畢業) 長的高 又帥 XD speaks perfect English, with a great sense of humour (待過國外的人都很會搞笑) 高中時在足球隊踢到全國大賽的semi-final 控球技術好利害 (完全跟Sho是不同level XDD) 小學時在瑞士玩過diabolo 完全是performer的level了!!! 這個人 怎麼這麼多才多藝... 上帝有時候也會創造完美無缺的人 XDD

Hamasaki Ayumi Against the Music
I'm not the kind of person who likes reading review or critics, because I think they are stupid, based on personal opinions, and it makes me think "Who do YOU think you are???" Therefore I don't write any myself (at least I don't call mine "review").
I'll give this essay a A+++ if it's an assignment XDD 我從來沒看過這麼寫的這麼好的review 以我的個性 I'll usually find something to disagree even if there is nothing wrong with it (西方文化的 "critical thinking" XDD). The author HAS to be a fan to know so many details =P But he's definitely not blind, everything he wrote is nothing but the truth. He outlined the past decade's history of the J-Pop industry. Nowadays people probably didn't know Suzuki Ami use to be Ayu's biggest rival, Amuro used to be the biggest name in the J-pop world, SPEED was the most successful idol group and the Goto Maki-led MoMusu

Hamasaki Ayumi Against the Music
written by Kitazawa
On April 8, 1998, B'z, one of Japan's most representative bands, released their 24th single and successfully took the number one spot on the Oricon charts again. On that same day, a 19-year-old female singer named Hamasaki Ayumi who had struggled in the entertainment industry for a few years released her debut single. The single peaked modestly at number 20 on the Oricon charts. At the time, neither she nor her mentor and producer Max Matsuura could have possibly known that this was only the beginning of a fairy-tale journey for both them and Japanese pop music.
It is not possible to talk about the past decade of Japanese pop music without mentioning Hamasaki Ayumi. In the past ten years, Avex Trax has claimed the highest market share among Japan's record companies, and Ayumi has been the company's best-selling artist. According to a financial report Avex released in March 2001, even as overall music sales lagged, Avex still managed to grow 12.6% in comparison to 1999, achieving 83.3 billion yen (US$794 million) in sales. Ayumi made up over 40% of that number. A music industry observer once joked that she alone was worth the same amount as H2 (Japan's ill-fated 2003 rocket which resulted in 43.3 billion yen of loss). More impressively, in 2001 Ayumi comprised 16% of Japan's total record sales, a staggering market dominance that she maintained for almost three years starting in 2000. Even in 2007, her tenth year in the music industry, she still generated seven billion yen in album sales to become the second best-selling artist of the year. This kind of pop longevity is unique in Japanese and global music.
So, how exactly did a high school dropout from a single-parent family become the face of J-pop?
In early 1999, Ayumi made her breakthrough. Her debut album A Song for XX, released on January 1, topped the Oricon charts for four consecutive weeks. On April 26, her seventh single Love~Destiny, a lyrical ballad composed by Tsunku (lead vocalist of Sharan Q and producer of Morning Musume), also hit number one on the singles weekly chart. Be it luck or strategy, Ayumi managed to avoid both Utada Hikaru's First Love (the all-time best-selling Japanese album) and the best-selling single of the 90s, Dango 3 Brothers.
To explore a new musical style, Avex invited labelmate Do As Infinity to compose Ayumi's next two singles Boys & Girls and A. In the seven weeks from August 2 to September 3, Ayumi topped Oricon's weekly charts for six of those weeks, with Boys & Girls beating out Suzuki Ami's Be Together for the top spot. Even more impressive, A was unprecedentedly released as a 4A single with multiple remix version tracks; this album-length single remains Ayumi's highest-selling single with 1.62 million copies sold. Her album LOVEppears followed in October and created a minor controversy with an album cover that featured the singer topless, covered only by long locks of hair. At this point, Ayumi had already surpassed Amuro Namie and Suzuki Ami, standing side by side with Utada Hikaru as the top female singers of their generation.
In the next two years, Ayumi and Avex put everything on the line to challenge the reign of Utada Hikaru. In this period, Kuraki Mai, Shiina Ringo, MISIA, and a Goto Maki-led Morning Musume all joined the race, but be it in terms of marketing strategy, record sales, or album creativity, none could threaten Ayumi's status. In the end, it was Utada Hikaru who again came out on top with her singles Wait & see~risk (2000) and Can you keep a secret? (2001) beating Ayumi's Seasons (2000) and M (2001), and album Distance (release March 28, 2001) barely outselling A Best (compilation released by Avex against Ayumi's wishes to go up against Distance) by 3%. Ayumi's overall achievements, however, were stronger, in terms of total record sales, market share, and year-end statistics. In 2001 she became the first female singer after Amuro Namie to hold a Dome Tour in Japan's four largest venues, and in early 2002 she graced the cover of Time magazine.
2002 was a turning point for Hamasaki Ayumi, The focus of her music changed from pop ballads and dance numbers to rock and electronic numbers, and the album I am also included hip-hop elements. Her first single of 2002, the album cut limited release Daybreak, however, also ended her string of number one singles by coming in second. Her next single Free & Easy took her back to the top of the charts, and H would even outsell Utada Hikaru's travelling to become Ayumi's fifth million-selling single.
Other than Avex's generous financial support - reportedly, just in 2001 the company spent close to one billion yen (US$9.56 million) on production and promotion - a great part of Ayumi's success since her debut can be attributed to a J-pop centered all-round marketing strategy. "Hamasaki Ayumi" was more than a singer, she was a brand. Ayumi's trendy image made her the ideal brand spokesperson. A cosmetics label introduced two lipstick colors bearing her name; 500,000 lipsticks were sold in a mere two days. A beauty center saw 15% growth in customers after an ad featuring Ayumi hit the streets. A leopard print mobile phone (in continuation of her Duty image) limited to 30,000 units that Ayumi designed and personalized completely sold out during preorders. Certainly, Ayumi and Avex's marketing strategy is one of endless innovation, constantly presenting fans and consumers with new styles and products.
From the new images and extensive promotion to the high market share and record sales, Avex and Ayumi were basically aiming for the kind of fame and milestones achieved by the likes of Southern All Stars and Amuro Namie. Ayumi, however, was working in a very different market than that of Southern All Stars' and Amuro Namie's golden years, and no one could turn the tides of regression in the Japan music industry.
Starting in 2003, Japan's female singers entered a period of decline, and Ayumi could not maintain the buzz of her previous five years. Overall changes in music production, compounded with the effect of the SARS epidemic on the Asian economy, led to a dramatic drop in record sales. Even notable releases like SMAP's Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana and Ayumi's No way to say, which won her the Gold Prize at the Japan Record Awards for the third consecutive year, could not resist the trend of falling sales. The fact that No way to say only sold 240,000 copies (according to Oricon statistics that year) indicated that Ayumi, Avex, and the whole of Japanese music had entered a new period.
In 2004, a high-profile fallout between Max Matsuura and Avex chairman Tom Yoda sent ripples through the Japanese music industry. Ayumi's announcement of support for Matsuura and intentions to follow should he leave the company sparked off similar declarations from Do As Infinity, hitomi, Every Little Thing, and other major artists on the label. In the end, Avex withdrew Matsuura's resignation and Yoda stepped down. For an artist to affect top-level management decisions in a company of such stature, this case not only clearly signified Ayumi's status in Avex, but also marked her as a true diva in world music.
In 2005 and 2006, Ayumi maintained her record of number one singles, largely because of Avex's marketing strategy and structural changes in overall album sales. Even then, with the rise of NANA star Nakashima Mika, new-generation singer-songwriters YUI and Kimura Kaela, and Avex's own Kudi Koma and Otsuka Ai, Ayumi's limelight was clearly spread a lot thinner. The changes in musical style that Ayumi began in 2002, however, began to pay off in this period. Singles STEP you/is this Love? and Bold & Delicous and albums MY STORY and (miss)understood were all highly experimental, integrating new elements into traditional J-pop sound and establishing the style heard in 2007's talkin' 2 myself and Secret.
In 2007, Ayumi released two compilations, A Best 2 -Black- and A Best 2 - White, which came in at number one and two on the Oricon charts. Moving in an international direction, she also held an Asia tour and collaborated with Hong Kong actor Shawn Yue for the music movie Distance Love released with her double A-side glitter/fated. At the year's end, she released her first digital-only single Together Again.
As Ayumi's tenth anniversary year, 2008 did not start off on the best footing. Her ninth album Guilty debuted in second place on the Oricon charts, making it her first studio album to not hit number one. This was complemented by the shocking confession that she had lost all hearing in her left ear, leaving the diva's career up in the air. Ayumi, however, vowed to continue with music and has since released two remix compilations, ayu-mi-x 6 -GOLD- and ayu-mi-x 6 -SILVER-, and her latest number one single Mirrorcle World.
In Japan's current music industry, no other female singer can compare with the sales and status of Hamasaki Ayumi. Though she may not have the best vocals or most acclaimed music among Japan's top female singers, her influence over pop music and trends is unmatched in terms of record sales, marketing, and management style, and it is hard to imagine any other singer rising to such fame in the near future. Hamasaki Ayumi is undoubtedly the very definition of J-pop diva.

This kind of pop longevity is unique in Japanese and global music. So, how exactly did a high school dropout from a single-parent family become the face of J-pop?
The Early Years: April 8, 1998 to November 30, 2002
Looking back at the Japanese music scene in 1998, there did not seem to be much space for a singer like Ayumi. Amuro Namie and her two million-selling single Can you celebrate? were still going strong, female pop group Speed swept the year with three million-selling singles, and Ayumi's greatest competitor Utada Hikaru made her debut at the year's end. Add to that the strength of visual rock and the shocking death of X Japan guitarist hide, it was a wonder that Ayumi, without any special selling points or buzz, managed to debut at the front end of the charts. In early 1999, Ayumi made her breakthrough. Her debut album A Song for XX, released on January 1, topped the Oricon charts for four consecutive weeks. On April 26, her seventh single Love~Destiny, a lyrical ballad composed by Tsunku (lead vocalist of Sharan Q and producer of Morning Musume), also hit number one on the singles weekly chart.
