Fandom is dead?

What am I going to do? Geek some more? haha.

KT-TUN is no KAT-TUN
I actually heard less about the solo concerts than KT-TUN remaining group member activities. How is that even possible? Besides that… it’s much like Jin’s first hiatus, it just doesn’t feel complete. How can people even speak of “omfg they’re going to break up” if you know he’s done this before and came back. I must admit, he wasn’t the same person anymore. Truth be said, they pushed Kame to the front the past year or so for “unknown reasons”.

NEWS, where is NEWS?
Sakura Girl just passed without notice and I have no idea why. Can’t be the songs, because the songs are like they always were “bubbly pop average”. Even “Happy Birthday” had a better PV. I kept being amused at the cat drawing. Now Yamapi has finished Ashita no Joe and … what am I talking about. There is no NEWS, there’s just Yamapi, my pet Goldfish. As a unit, these guys were just never meant to be. I will only change my opinion once I see choreography that’s coordinated/timed between them and/or a tv show that actually makes me think “they’re a group”. Soukon was not it. Sponsored by LAWSON, just so you know. I have a great idea. It’s not Toma’s thing but, SAVE MY GOLDFISH. Duet, prease!~

ARASHI so hot they just burned
Gets to much attention, period. Their tv shows aren’t the way it used to be, just like Kanjani’s. And I LOVE Arashi tv shows. The music? Not any better. It’s just that: I noticed they’re on tv A LOT in Japan while I was there. I guess Johnny went yepz, this is my cash cow, better churn out some more profit before the boys get too old. I always wondered about that, as a male celeb you’re once again one lucky bastard because there seems to be less of a downer on your vintage.

Kanjani8 on drugs times 100.
Went dead after Uchi went. I swear. The past years their tv shows have become boring because the members hyped up/ inflated their ‘characters’. It was already visible at the end of Honjani and it hasn’t stopped, it hasn’t stopped.

Tokio/KinKi Kids/V6/SMAP
They always remain to have hardcore fans, of which you never hear a word because they really keep to their fandom.

Juniors
I do keep noticing an influx of names when it comes to juniors. Sorry dawgs, other than an occasional “what a cute puppy” I’m passed the age of fandom on that one.

Even the hate meme is proceeding slowly these days. Are we losing to the kpoopers?

Johnny’s Countdown 2009-2010

Yay I got to see Countdown! Now the New Year is complete. A huge screencap collection ahead.

Yamapi really really looks good with the black hair back. <3 I know I said it three times already. Other things to be noticed:

  • Check out Sakamoto’s flex. 4th row, 3rd image. Not bad for an old guy huh? LOL.
  • Jin was harrassing Jun while Yamapi stays as focussed as ever, 3rd row from the bottom, 1st image.
  • Koki and Kame’s fan game (last 2 images).

:hearteyes:
