A late Mr. Brain wallpaper

It’s very late but I just love Kimura Takuya as MR. BRAIN. Excuse my fail attempt at the drama’s neon sign.

Mr. Brain ep 5: aka ~ aoi

The following screencap is of a scene in episode 5 of Mr. Brain. It’s the blue/red trick and I know it’s realy old. What suprised me is that even I had the problem reading properly. You would say with my very slim Japanese language skills I would read slow enough to not make the mistake.

Tragic vegetable

I just watched episode 3 of Mr. Brain (raw). It was total love! It is the episode of the tragic vegetable. That is all I’m going to tell to not spoil it for everyone else. I will need to watch this again with some subs. I think I understood the entire story, thanks to a physical explanation of Mr. 9-10-9. The last part was tricky though;)

*spoiler* But help me out here (select the text underneath this):
I heard the word ‘gan’ in the beginning of the show when 9-10-9 was talking to the doc. Now I only know what ‘gan’ is even though I’m spelling it wrong. CANCER WUT? GOOD EVIL WUT?

I see who is guesting next week. I never remembered this actor’s name. I know he was in Mei-chan no shitsuji together with Mizushima Hiro. Aah, Sato Takeru? By the way, if this turns a bit more tragic I have the perfect fanvid. Which I’ll never get to make because I’ll be folding origami F16′s *makes crash sound* and drinking too much coffee than is good for me at my place of h00min observation. Why call it work, you make it sound so boring.

This duo, TOTAL WIN!

I saw this screencap and knew I had to see it:

Now this is fanservice! XD. I love the way how Kimura Takuya is called Kimura-kun by Kame. lol. A sempai that allows it must be a sempai indeed. I know they talked about it in this file, but as this is tv variety it usually goes a notch too fast for me to actually understand everything. The more I see Kimutaku on screen the more I understand why he’s numero uno all these years.

You know what seems to bug me? There’s not enough Kimura Takuya stuff in English fandom! Ever seen how dead the smapxsmap comm is?

I wanted to wallpaper this guy and I ended up shaking the intarweb instead of poking it. Come on guys, he might be older than Feles-kun ™ but he’s still hot! Unfortunately even to ANAN he’s an old man. Check it out:

You know… he’s not like EIGHTY! WHAT THE HELL! There’s a Kimutaku comm and it has like 99 members and nobody has posted in that for over a year! *_* You would expect a small revival every time a new drama comes up but no…

Oh man, that’s tragic. I for one demand this guy gets more fandom love. ;)

Mr. Brain

I watched both episodes last weekend and I must say I’m amazed at my ability to understand so much. It depends on the series though. Sometimes I get more than other times. Lazy me will still go for subs if the groups will do them, but this one I attempted without any. I think I get about 75% of what is actually said on average, so I get the full storyline now. Mind you that I can’t speak a word of proper Japanese nor read them squiglies because I always forget what I learned. As long as I can understand though, I’m happy. lol. RESCUE is a bit easier to watch without subs than Mr. Brain. So finally, after casually watching 7 years of Japanese tv shows, drama’s, anime and whatnot it pays off. I can at least piece together the full meaning of each scene. I will probably remain completely lost on shows like HEYx3 though.

At the beginning of the series I thought wtf, I thought he was supposed to be Brainiac and I see the most epic fail host walking around. I’d never thought I’d say this but Mizushima Hiro blends with the wallpaper because Kimura is just lots more interesting to look at haha. Admitted, the role of PA to a grumpy sempai doesn’t really invite for much interesting. The guest of Gackt on episode 2. He is such an over-actor. lol. In some ways that makes him good, and in other ways it’s just a tad over the top. Think “Evil and Insane”, Gackt is your man though. I just could not get over the fact how perfectly pearly white his teeth are. These are not the teeth of a serial killah that eats chunks of his victims, including his own finger! The eskimo kiss in episode 2 was hilarious (screencap). Now the big question is, how is Kame going to do in the guest next saturday? Doctor Kame!

A visit to insights

I was looking at google insights today to check out some popularity stats of our boys. On 山下智久 I got a recent article from here. Tomapi is gobbled up everywhere! It seems like a pretty popular site to be ranked next to the stats. Second button from your left is the Johnny’s archive of posts. As for Cupcake’s popularity? It’s dropping to the same level it was back in 2004. It’s not long now before the rest of the world starts to follow [Japan sets the trend]. I wonder if his new drama is going to have any impact at all? Will know that in a couple of months time.

Also, google now shows the full extent of Tsuyobuns park adventure:

I’m not sure Yamacupcake knows this but during the Kurosagi days he actually beat #1 a couple of months:

I may receive the anger of Kimutaku fans, but there ya go. More proof to me he needs to change his hair color to black again and engage that type of drama. lol. I actually have an entire conspiracy theory on why his hair has reverted a few years in history: it’s because he was starting to look out of place in NEWS. That aura was that strong, it annihilated the group sugarpop happy thing they usually have going on. I think this does not hold the larger audience.
