∞ Yoko in Hanako with Yamada-kun (2/10)

If or... Goods
∞ Photo Frame - 1300yen

∞ Hair Pin - 700yen

I want that hair pin!! I love purple bling! XD

HEY!HEY!HEY! Mention (at Ran's request)
∞ Kame was talking about why three KT members want to meet comedic duo KNIGHTS. He brought up how KNIGHTS are on Campus Night Fuji and how much fun they seem to be having on the show. Kame said he didn't think Johnny's would ever go on the show but one night he saw 8 on it! That's why Hamachan went, "Kanjani aren't Johnny's." XD

Is that jealousy speaking? Thank you Kame, for being just that little bit jealous of 8 for a seemingly trivial matter! Oh, and when Hamachan spoke, Junno laughed so much he clapped. LOL.

Can I just say I'm surprised Kame was ok with revealing how much he watches Campus Night Fuji?! XD Though I must admit, I bet it's every Japanese male's dream to be on the show. Which man wouldn't want to record a live late night variety with 27 undergraduate gravure idols? And 8 got to go on twice. (But not everyone got to go. XD) I was relieved when KenKoba revealed that the girls are segregated from everyone else before and after recordings. (To the extent of using different corridors to get to their separate dressing rooms!) XD

Television
∞ Hidarime 'First-half Review' Special (2/13)

Probably just a summary of the first few episodes..

Yasuba
∞ They have a new logo!!

Honourable Mention
∞ KAT-TUN was on HEY!HEY!HEY! today. While talking about Campus Night Fuji, Kame brought 8 up. Hamachan then went on to say, "Kanjani aren't Johnny's."

HAHAHAHA. I LOVE THAT! 8 is so loved! ♥

Honourable Mention
∞ Rocket Dan made a reference to 8 on NTV's Shouten!

I get really excited 8 gets mentioned by comedians. It means these comedians think 8's well-known enough for the rest of Japan to catch the joke! XD And of course, Shouten's one of the oldest shows ever so it's cool to be mentioned. <3

Sometimes I wonder if non-fans really know who 8 is. But last year when Shinsuke-san mentioned 8 on Fukaii Hanashi, the laughter he got in response was loud! It made me beam. XD

Magazines
∞ Yoko has four pages in saita March! O_O

∞ AneCan April's 8 coverage is SEVEN pages long!! (3/6)

OMG! Are they idols now?! I can't believe it! XD

Television Today
∞ TV Tokyo's Piramekino uses Obaachan Rock a lot!

For its opening and before CMs! Awesome! I kind of like Fruit Punch. Hannya, on the other hand, I really don't get. I just don't think they're funny! The only time I laugh is when other comedians make fun of Kanada. But! He's popular, so I'm glad they're using 8's music on their show. XD

I used to wonder if I'd end up liking Hina if he had joined Yoshimoto instead. The question resurfaced lately cause there are quite a few Murakamis among the newer comedians. The other day I saw Fruit Punch on a show with OriRaji so I got to hear "Murakami!" and "Shingo!" in the same line. Surreal. XD

∞ THE REPACKAGED BOOK'S COVER IS SO KAKKOII!!!!

Like seriously. Why can't Ryo have hair LIKE THAT?! Can I have an anime instead of a movie?! (Sorry Ryo.) The character on the book looks too good! I was about to buy the original version of the book but completely dropped the idea when I saw the new cover. XD It's so unfair! Why does the samurai in the movie have to have 'proper' samurai hair?!

It'll be nice if Ryo could make a promo VTR for Yoko's tour. You know, for when Yoko sings Purin. XD I really love the fact that the movie's image colour is yellow.

｢If or・・・II｣F〜M
∞ The show opened tonight!

Good luck Hina! I just know it'll be a great show! And have fun! Wish I were there! T_T But I'm still broke from the countdown cons! And F~M are the busiest months of my work year! T_T

Magazine
∞ GyAO Magazine's countdown con coverage may be late, but it is 12 pages long! OMG!

Television Today
∞ They played old PLAYZONE footage on TV Asahi's Onegai! Ranking. It featured Higashiyama-san with a 15-year-old Ryo.

Chonmage Purin
∞ I'm so nervous about the theme song. Given the whacked storyline, it'll be so wrong if 8 doesn't get to sing it! But who knows? It may be an Arashi or even TOKIO song lol. The movie's produced by J Storm..

Subaru
∞ Can the boy be any more adorable?! Both his Jweb and RECOMEN appearance were awesome! I love that they shared more about Hina's birthday.. but I want a DVD! XD

Chonmage Purin
∞ The (empty) website is up online!

∞ They start filming on 2/6

∞ Filming will be done by early March.. that's fast!

∞ Ryo's been taking baking classes since December

∞ The samurai's supposed to be every girl's dream guy

HAHAHA. I laughed hard when I read that. It's so true though! Who doesn't want a dude who is great at housework? But all that talk about the character being 癒やし系 cracks me up. If they wanted an 癒やし系 boy, they should have cast Yasu. XD I shrieked when I saw Tomosaka Rie's name. I LOVE HER! But now I can't sing my favourite song at karaoke cause singing her songs will remind me of Ryo LOL. And I can't go to my baking club meetings without thinking of this movie! Tough. XD

Thanks to Yoko's tour announcement, I barely got any sleep on Tuesday. It was so difficult to stay awake at work! T_T And I felt bad about the general lack of excitement about Ryo's movie. If only these two events were announced separately! I was really hyped up about the movie until I saw Ryo's hair HAHA. I forgot about the samurai hair. Ah well. XD

I now have another book to add to my To Read List.. T_T

Yoko's Solo Tour
∞ Two months, 14 cities, 30 shows!!

∞ Ryo will star in a movie opening this summer!!

I can't believe Ryo is starring in his own movie! Finally! The synopsis sounds HILARIOUS! XDDD I read a little about the director but I'm too exhausted from Yokocon to study this in detail. TOO MUCH is happening in one day! I don't know who to cry over first! I'm so proud of my kids. XD
