Happy Birthday, MatsuJun.

Yesterday, in Japan, Matsumoto Jun celebrated his birthday [I forget how old he is now]. I was Jun-baited to Arashi, as well as some other JDramas that MatsuJun plays in.

Yeah, the next Bday is Ohno's, which is sometime in Novemeber, I think, and then Tre Cool's, Aiba's, and Shun's all in one month [December]. YAY! :P

Yeah, that's how bored I am with me blogs. Check out another site I made at [http://Billiejoeiscool.blogspot.com]. Peace.

Some more amusing tidbits. >:).

As the summer nears its end [thank FREAKING God], and I'm switching my head back on, I can't help but laugh at the random things that happen to me. Really. They're so amusing.

I've been UBER-UBER-UBER into studing Japanese; my nana bought me a Japanese work book for Romanji xD, and I'm slowly getting into it. I can now count to 99 [I can't remember what 100 is xD] and ask a slew of questions [like what time is it, what time does the store open/close, who's [insert key/umbrella/cellphone] is this?] as well as answer. I can also tell time. Yay! I'm getting better as I learn slowly yet surely.

...speaking of my nana....

...yup! It's LETS PICK ON NANA! Time! YAYY!! BANZAI!!~~~

So, today, me, my mom, my nana and my two cousins [maybe ones not even my cousin? Oh well] went over to Rhode Island to see my grandfather, and so my Nana, who lives down in FL for the winter, wanted to take photos.

...As we got ready for the group photo, Nana went to take the picture, and got really confused, before saying "Oh, it'd help if it was turned on..." Me and Momster fell over laughing. Mwhaha.

Then, as my cousin and my grandfather are getting a photo, Nana's batteries for her camera die, and she goes "My batteries are dead... hold that pose!" then runs inside, leaving us outside. My mom goes "We should hide on the side of the building" so we did, and we're all like "heheh" and then my nana comes out and sees that we all left and she's like "COME ON!"

Another breif update to my room has appeared. I get the random urges to clean when I cant sleep [or better yet, if I'm even up at 11:30] so I've been cleaning and this is my newest half-completed [for the fact that the rest of the hats are up in the attic ATM] project. >:).



I organized most of the shelves on the bookshelf [the top and middle one] yet... the bottom still has to be cleaned. Perhaps tonight? Mwhaha.

Peace out, yo! Ja nai, too! XD

A bit of an update

So, after my breif-week-outta-CT vacation, I jumped right back into watching anime, and JDrama, as well as reading mangas. I've also been into making videos, and I have two *BRAND NEW ONES* on youtube that are pretty fun and random.

Before I say anything, though, this is for my naners who has just arrived back in CT as of yesterday, and I got to see her. She has no idea what Anime-manga-Jdrama is :P I shall explain:

Anime: A type of Japanese cartoon, and depending on the genre, different plots. To know more about this, though, check out the other website [located under my photo on the left].

Manga: A type of comic book, from Japan, read backwards. Mangas are classified by their genres [just like Anime], and are usually about 10 chapters each volume, and have generally more than one book in a series [Volume= 1, 2; Series= Books 1-6, 7-10].

JDrama: also known as JDorama. It's a shortened version and popular way of saying "Japanese Drama". JDramas feature Japanese actors and actresses, and are generally made using a plot from an anime or manga [for example: Hana Yori Dango; Manga first, then Anime, then, finally, a JDrama and movie]. Anyways, JDramas are Japanese equivilent to Soap Operas in America, except they run between 23 and 56 minutes, or 'Two-hour Specials'' [I've seen a few of those], and consist of 10-13 episodes, once and a while going longer. This is one of the many dramas in Asia, seeing as there's also KDrama [Korean Drama], TDrama [Taiwain Drama] and CDrama [Chinese Drama]. These dramas [the three besides JDrama] tend to be more like a soap opera with many episodes, and long, dramatized episodes.

Moving on with my Japan-fandom, I learned, the other day, while I was randomly searching for a new JDrama on Yahoo! Search... I accidently clicked on this link that said "FREE PAST LIFE READING", and ya know, I'm uber-tastically interested Japan, right? Well, low-and-behold; I was a Japanese girl in my most recent past life. YAY FOR JAPANESE TIES! Maybe that's why I know a slew Japanese by just watching anime and JDrama and listening to Arashi.

Speaking of Arashi, that reminds me that they sing the theme song for Japan in the Olymipcs. They're suppose to sing ON STAGE DURING THE OLYMPICS for the world. Will I be able to see it? No, cause America doesn't play the foriegn shows unless it's related to the USA [expecially on NBC or whatnot].

The reminds me, also, about a NEW VIDEO!!! click the linky:

And, back to my random chatter. I've been watching the GOKUSEN anime, and it's not all that bad. Love Sawada Shin all over again. In the manga he was awesome, in the anime he's awesome-er, in the JDrama... well... let's just say SUBER-JUN/OGURI-baited. ROFL. But every time I see him in the Anime, I wanna re-watch the JDrama. I might have to. Speaking of JDramas...

Photo: Matsujun [Matsumoto Jun; Arashi] co-stars in Season 1 of GOKUSEN as Sawada Shin.

I've also been into a JDrama called Maou [Devil]. It's based off a KDrama, "The Devil", and it co-stars two really awesome actors/singers, both from JE [Johnny's Entertainment]. Ohno Satoshi [aka Captain; most know him for being the lead vocals in Arashi, as well as the best dancer/singer of JE, as well as an extremely good artist] plays a laywer, Naruse Ryo, who's a two faced laywer, set on giving revenge on the kid/guy who killed his brother, Hideo. [Seeing as this is a mystery, this is my half-solved description. (highlight it to read)]

---SPOILER UNDERNEATH!---
Basically, it's a complete two-sides at once story. At first, you're thrown into a place where Ohno is standing there, holding flowers, and then places them on the ground, saying sorry to someone or whatever. The next scene, though, throws you into Ikuta Toma's side of the story. Ikuta is playing a detective, Serizawa Naoto, who has and holds a dark past, despite the fact of being a detective. Then we're back to Naruse-sensei. He's in his house, in a dark room with all these photos of Naoto. Why? Well, you'll see. There's tarot cards all over the desk that he's standing at, and then.. well, it cuts off at that point. It jumps to Serizawa, who's back at the office, then to Naruse, who's holding a crushed Harmonica. Hrm. It's strange, and weird all at the same time. Then, out of no where, Serizawa and Naruse meet. Woah! As soon as Ikuta's character runs off, there's a flashback of a highschooler running off the same way. I think that's the part where Ikuta's character is running off towards his father's office, because Naruse killed his father's friend or whatever. In the next EP, though, we start with the detectives at the crime scene of the murder, and Naruse-sensei appears. Who has to do the fake killing? Yup. That's right. Serizawa Naoto has to do the reinactment of the murder, which reminds him of his dark past of killing someone. So, now we know the true plot: Ohno to kill Ikuta. Well, that's not how easy. Through the series, there's kidnapping, a love triangle that involves Naoto's onii-chan, as well as his best friend from highschool, with his brother's wife, murders of Naoto's best friend, as well as twists. It couldn't have gotten weirder by episode five, but it did: Naruse-sensei has gotten a red card from.. himself?! And.. Amano Mokoto is actually Manako Tomoo?! And... Naruse-sensei isn't really Naruse Ryo but... Manako Tomoo?! Woah! Too many twists!

I'll post more later. Ja nai.

I've been lazy-- sorry!

I just got back from my Ocean City, Maryland vacation, which I'll give you all photos/videos that I took when they're all uploaded and everything :). I've been too busy adding stuff to my iPod, almost 120 or more songs of Arashi alone, and JDrama, lots of it, so that was taking up most of my time. Now, though, as I'm home, I'll be re-doing a video I/we made down in Ocean City, called the Arashi Dance off, under Flying Fan Productions. I'll add those, too, when I'm done uploading the rest. :) Peace and byebyes til later this week. :D
