Look what mariko_kawaii made for me~ Little ol’ me, a perfect stranger but a fellow Pi fan girl who stumbled upon her lj community, silvmoon_mist graphics.

Yamapi weight loss motivation ^-^

With exams coming up, she made some NEWS wallies to motivate her into getting back to her studies. After I mentioned Pi would really motivate me to lose some weight, she sends me this. *Flails, flails, flails*

Yes, Pi. Yes, honey. I will.

kyaa~


Mimi (xcry), out of the kindness and generosity of her heart, decided to share the Yamapi stationery she created as a friend’s birthday present with the news_jpop community at lj. It’s soo cute! The kind of rare find you want to disseminate to the entire Pi-fold, because it’s just LOVE.

Behold!

Trends in Japan has a thorough discussion about the contest  here. When I saw the original video, I couldn’t stop smiling. It looked like so much fun. And of course I tried out the moves too, watchathink of me?!

This is the original video.

Don’t you love how the mannequin and the dog turn into the same lady?

And these brave souls won 4th place.

They’re so awesome.

The contest may be over and done with but that’s not gonna stop me from posting my own version….eventually. (^-^)


Oguri Shun & Narimiya Hiroki in Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” (partially subbed)

My heart went all atwitter when I first watched this courtesy of  windchijmes. (Many thanks to her for putting the raw video in youtube.) In my 1 year in JE / non-JE fandom I’ve come to develop a fetish for good looking guys  being playfully romantic  with each other. I got so giddy, it’s possible I burnt a couple hundred calories from watching this.

Now that I’ve just laid out some of my cards so to speak, without further ado: a cross-post.

I culled these babies myself by going through tieba baidu: 黑木明纱(Kuroki Meisa). Will remove if the ones who originally posted these say this thing I’m doing right here is a No-no. Either way, I’m very thankful to them so here’s some affection:

Not the best of quality, these pictures from Johnny’s XQ. Still, they’re amusing. How I’d love to nit and pick their choice of expression. Managing KAT-TUN is managing diversity. (So what now if Kusano will indeed join the group? …Exciting times.)

Take a closer look at who Junnosuke Taguchi (KAT-TUN member) has been romantically linked with in the tabloids.  Presenting model/actress Komine Rena. Note, she’s 28 years old while  Junno’s 23.  Hooray for womanhood! Continue reading ‘Taguchi’s lady – Komine Rena’


Here are some of my favorite musical pieces from のだめカンタービレ (Nodame Cantabile) live action. Really dug into classical CDs and websites to find these back when I first started watching the drama. It’s been too long…

Enjoy and Happy holidays!
