chiisanahito...I've been typing and backspacing and typing again for a while now, since I can't really put a decent intro to make this entry less fangirly, so...I decided to put them under a cut instead.

So what didwe I learn from this vid?
- TOKIO are bad dancers. Well at least in this performance XD
- There's another version of this vid where we can CLEARLY see Nagase, Yamaguchi, and Taichi messing up HAHA! But I can't find it online; I got it from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
o_e_subs .
- You CAN look good when you're older.
- Massive dance routine is AWESOME.
- Johnny's Entertainment is not all about pretty boys dancing and looking good. They are also about stage management, stage directing, good relationships between members, and of course, cooperation.
And this is kinda random, but -- Yamaguchi (full name Yamaguchi Tatsuya) is already married, and has a kid (a few years after this performance) :D I find this REALLY AWESOME cuz I think it takes a lot of strength to build a family of your own while still maintaining a job in the entertainment industry. Desho? :3

NOW PLEEEASE LET ME FANGIRL ABOUT TOKIO ☆
I'm VERY new to the fandom, but from the short time that I discovered them...
Joushima Shigeru aka Leader // guitarist
- The oldest member of the band, Leader is a really content guy! Like he's always the one being bullied (sounds like another band's leader, now that I think of it...), he's okay with it, and he works the hardest for the sake of the band :D
- And I dunno if it's just a different persona or anything, but I noticed that on stage and in performances, he's a real badass -- he can rock the guitar and it's not impossible that people would BOW to him. Yes, I'm serious. Plus, his backing vocals are unexpectedly more hardcore-sounding than the rest LOL \m/
Nagase Tomoya // vocalist, guitarist
- Oh man. He's AN IDIOT in the BEST way possible XD I mean, he has this 'innocent' feel to him -- like he'll become super-immersed in anything he's working on, not showing any signs of giving up, neither of stressing out. I have high respect for him than I did before I watched a 'behind-the-scenes' kind of thing they had of him preparing for his MTV Unplugged show. It's like, he's really down-to-earth :3 Even though he's the youngest in the band, he can really bring the band forward with his charisma :)
- He skates, he's good at soccer, and he can drum pretty well. He acts too :D Although I've only watched My Boss My Hero and Heaven's Door lol (currently watching Tiger & Dragon!) OH AND MOST IMPORTANTLY : HE LAUGHS TOO MUCH XDDD
Yamaguchi Tatsuya // bassist
- He's...the image of MANRIINESS. He sings a lot for the backing vocals too, and he's also kinda like the 'second vocalist'; in their album glider, there's a number of songs where he's the main vocalist.And if I hear it right, one of the song from glider, the way he brings Midnight Rose -- it's PERFECT ♥ <>not to mention it gives me weird ideas [edit] OK so it's Mabo who did Midnight Rose, but still -- YAMAGUCHI'S VOICE IS ♥ kthx XD
- He appears how a man should be -- never showing any signs of weakness XD And he surfs, man. Like come on, surfers are ♥
Kokubun Taichi // keyboardist, pianist
- KAWAIINESS DESU!!1!!!!!one! Like SRSLYYY. He's like what Kai is to Gazette : the cutest smile XDalthough the picture doesn't do it justice And he likes to jump a lot! Alright, appearance aside, his piano skills are FOR TEH WINZ. I personally like him on the piano better than on the keyboard, just cuz I like piano more HAHA. *koff* Anyways, for one of his shows (yes, he's a regular on a lot of shows too!), he does arrangements for a number of songs that are to be played 'unplugged' :D Imagine taking a song bursting with electric guitars, crazy drums, and heavy bass; rearranged for just a piano and an acoustic guitar. HOW COOL IS THAT?
- He's also good at soccer! Prolly better than Nagase too 8D In a number of their PV making ofs, there's a lot of scenes of him and Nagase playing soccer~ In fact, there's even a special show where he made a soccer/futsal team from the Johnny's members X3
Matsuoka Masahiro // drummer
- The narcissist of the band LOL. From the vids that I've watched though, he seems to be the kind of person who can read the atmosphere easily; he can tell what the other person feels. Also, he's veeery talkative. He can lead a conversation real easy 8D He directs quite a number of TOKIO's PVs, and that's something I really look up to :3
- He's good at impersonating other people XD And he's the only good cook of the band (good = more than decent!). He can go crazy when Yazawa Eikichi's songs are played in a karaoke XDDD AND, he has this kind of voice where...um, you know how some people, when they talk, their voice could suddenly get high-pitched and fades off, then fades in again? Yeah, he has that kind of voice HAHAHA ♥yes I have a weird preference kthxbai
- - - - - - -
Phew, that was long XD
Ahhh busy weekend againnn.
Hope yours is great :)

NOW PLEEEASE LET ME FANGIRL ABOUT TOKIO ☆
Hikari no Machi PV
One of my favorite songs ♥
And I have to say that the video compliments the song nicely :3
I'm not saying I understand the lyrics; I don't, honestly -- what I understood was the message of 'frustration over something' :D
The scene where Gussan cuts the watermelon in half with an axe is UBER COOL ☆

SEISYuN mp3
I LOVE LEADER'S BACKING VOCALS IN THIS SONGGG!!
"Machigai darake no sora ni; shinikaketa seishun ga ippiki tonde yuku" (1:00 - 1:13)
Leader's voice is so not hinted from his mere appearance XD

Date: 2010-06-07 03:36 am (UTC)i did think of the possibility of Mabo singing it, but i keep denying it for some reason; still -- EHHHHH?! 8DDD you know, you actually just made my day by telling me this ♥
thanks very much!
no subject
Date: 2010-06-07 04:22 am (UTC)Ahaha, well... you don't usually think of Mabo singing songs (he only beats Leader for amount of solo songs (unless you count Leader's various duets with Gussan and Taichi)), so it's pretty easy to do...XD;
But I'm glad I could make your day. XDb

Date: 2011-01-31 04:23 pm (UTC)by the way, i hope it's not too much to ask but could you tell me what's the name of that show Taichi did, in which he got together Johnny's talents to form a soccer team?
no subject
Date: 2011-01-31 04:42 pm (UTC)about the show, i'm not sure if it's the actual show's name or the name of a segment of a show, but it's called 'TOKIO Dream Challenge' -- you can get the subbed version at http://indexjevideos.freehostia.com/index.htm -- click TOKIO, then scroll down to 'Others', they're dated 27.12.2008 and 01.01.2008 :D i dunno about the full show though, but i hope this helps!
