can i just say i'm happily surprised?!!! goro looks good and so fierce in the first two pictures. They actually surprised me by how good they look together. maybe kimura's image was just too wild for the lady like koyuki in engine? but the tissue in the nose cracks me up. and it looks like goro doesn't have any problems acting like a married couple with koyuki. there's actually touching that's not just platonic! could this be a sign of a good romantic comedy that isn't too chaste? and this is weird but...goro should look beat up and dirty more often! lol. i can really see the old goro in the pose and expression in the second picture.
so my parents and aunt were watching house of flying daggers tonight. while we were watching my aunt asked my mom which guy she liked. my mom said takeshi kaneshiro. my aunt said, nah i like andy lau. then they turned to my dad who was lying on the couch and asked him who he liked. he just laughed and avoided the question. when they asked me i said "i like them both." and then my dad jokingly said "wow, what a player." haha
so in my dream it was mid afternoon and i had just put my 4 year old niece to sleep. after i put her to sleep i walked into my bedroom and plopped onto my b ed. i was laying on my right side and next to me was a pillow that i hugged. next to the pillow was a man and all i could see was his back because he was turned the other way. then i said "hey, when should i wake you up?" the person turned his head to look at me and it was okada junichi! he was half asleep and said groggily "hmmm, 5 o'clock? yeah, i gotta have enough time to get ready for work." then he turned his body so that he was facing me and hugged the pillow i was hugging. it seemed like he had gone back to sleep but then he opened his eyes, gave a cute little smile, pat my head gently and said "you'll wake me up right?". then he went back to sleep.
he's seriously been creeping slowly into my fandom in these past few years. for some reason, i don't take to him as quickly as others. it's not that i ever disliked him but there was always somebody with him that i paid more attention to. but still, slowly but surely, he got in there. man, johnny really was some sort of evil genius. he knew how to tap into the hearts and wallets of young girls/housewives before anyone did back then. and somehow, he managed to make those groups last even when they're over 30, something that is incomprehensible to american/western boybands. but then there are also the group members themselves that keep people interested over so many years. when they don't succeed they try to figure out ways to make themselves work and appeal to people. variety shows are a godsend to je groups. why is johnny an EVIL genius? because he keeps on sucking out the money in my bank account. also, somehow, he set up his empire in such a way that when you like one group, you start branching out to other groups and liking them. it's probably impossible to be dedicated to just one group without liking another.
i like the song better than mermaid but i guess that's not saying much. i dunno, i wouldn't say it was half-assed because that would be discrediting smap's hard work but it just seems not as much thought is put into the singles anymore. maybe it's because it's a song for a sports event. but it's upbeat but not really. not as fun as bang bang vacance yet not as feel good as freebird which was another upbeat but sorta mellow single. maybe i just haven't heard it enough to like it. well i'm sure it'll still be number 1 for the first week. now here's a little story my deranged head came up with
aren't goro and nakai unusually close today? and why such a gap from the other members. oh my, knees and elbows touching. but wait, look at the face on takuya, goro's usual "touchy buddy"
ROFL. it's amazing what the mind can come up with about things that happened in a few minutes. but it's so fun. i'm glad i have these sorta smap moments again. lately i've been sorta not as interested. neglectfulness of the familiar probably. well it's probably because they haven't done anything new in so long so every week is just the routine episode of sxs. during this time i sorta went exploring for new things i didn't have time before. such as
taichi and mabo from tokio. they were also on the show. i'll spend time elaborating on another post devoted to my new found interests.
like i needed something else to take me away from my life and make me sit down in front of the computer. so recently i've been really addicted to tudou and just watching a whole bunch of mentore g and domoto kyodai episodes. doesn't sound too bad right? well it's pretty bad if it means staying up till 2 am laughing at how adorably dumb/perverted tokio and kinki kids are. especially when it's near the end of the semester and i have projects and exams to study for. what makes it worse is i get away with it. i put off studying or doing the projects but i still manage to get a good grade. it's furthering and quite possibly encouraging my bad habit.
good thing the semester is over in 2 weeks and then a whole month for winter break! that means my friends and i will be reunited and they can keep me away from je and the internet. but if i don't get it out of my system during the break, wouldn't it mean it'll strike me again when school starts?! and i've just started figuring out the right things to type in when searching for tokio stuff. oh jeez this is worse than if i were a drug addict. at least then, the effects would be visible to my friends and families and they'd stop me eventually.
they came! smap finally invaded my dreams! and it was my two favorite men too! ah i never expected nakai and goro-chan to be in my dream. it wasn't really romantic though. we were playing dodgeball. haha. at least we were on the same team. anyways, I was on the sideline with nakai and goro was the last one standing on our team. and we were both marveling at how it was goro. then i started talking about how his hair is too long now and he needs to cut it.
nakai: "he's trying to hide his receding hairline"
me: "what? he doesn't have one."
nakai: "i have one too. that's why i'm always wearing hats."
me: "you guys are dumb. you guys act like your 70 or something. show me this receding hairline."
so then i try to grab nakai and pull back the hair on his forehead to see. the whole time he's protesting and saying "yada" finally he gives in and i pull back his hair.
me: "it's a normal forehead. like i said, you guys are crazy."
he gets embarrassed and playfully gives me a head lock. yeah, so romantic. lol. then suddenly we hear "we won! goro won for us!" we both look at each other in disbelief and say "goro?"
an unromantic dream is better than none i guess. and goro got to be a good athlete too!
