chiisanahitoThere will always be a time when you would have found something new and become so immersed by it, your everyday life would be ridiculously incomplete without that 'something new'; I guess this is what people call obsession, right?
That being said --
This entry is called : the 'I thought I'd never go over that side but in the end I surrendered' entry :D
(AKA : the 'I tried but failed (miserably) to resist' or 'yes, I finally fell for them' entry. Creative much?)
Without further ramblings, I present you one of the seniors of Johnny's idols, V6 --
^ V6 be rollin' in your fandom without you knowin' it, yo.
I remember clearly that at exactly this time last year, 2009, I was intensely into the GazettE; I spent hours looking for their pictures, catch up on their new releases, being super-enthusiastic about anything, even the tiniest info, about this awesome band :D They're still rocking now, don't get me wrong -- they're the ones who opened my eyes to the world of music, the instruments; the world of backstage management; the recording process, etc. To me, they'll forever be my reminder of true love for music :)
Skip to somewhere around the middle of this year, 2010 -- a chase starting from the drama Manhattan Love Story, to tracing its actors, which lead to knowing TOKIO, which, in turn, makes me interested in Nagase's acts. One of them was the drama Tiger & Dragon -- since I read that a number of people recommended this series, I went on and watched it.
I have to say that T&D is good! The storyline, the characters' interaction, the acting, and especially how they integrated real happenings into the stories/rakugo act they perform in each episode. I think that's brilliant :D
From the series though, I became quite interested in the character playing alongside Nagase's Toraji, Ryuji -- I think this character is amusing, and because I think it's pretty hard to act out a character such as Ryuji - since he's kind of contradicting himself, and you prolly have to really understand the character to actually get that image through - I went on to find who this awesome actor was.
And there you go, I found Okada Junichi :DDD
From there, you know, I got to know he's in this group called V6, and that they're under the same company as TOKIO, AND since I was in sort of a Johnny's mood that time (blame the 2003-2004 Johnny's Countdown!), I thought : "Mm what the heck, I'll try some of their stuff."
So from then on...
I WENT SPIRALLING DOWN THIS MADNESS THAT IS V6 ♥
- - - - - - -
Since I'm relatively new to the V6 world, I won't go in depth about the group formation, history, profile, etc; the informational, factual stuff. There are people who write waaay better than me, and obviously with superior experience too, so I'll have you search up those instead if you somehow miraculously become interested in this group. (Or, I can cheat and tell you to read these pimp posts instead XD) <-- didn't ask for permission(s) to post the URLs here cuz I'ma pirate shy like that *shot*
Basically though, V6 is separated into 2 smaller (active) groups :
20th Century, or Tonisen, consists of the threetaller older members; and
Coming Century, or Kamisen, consists of the threeshorter younger members.
NOW!
To sum up each members' personality, of course! ♥
Let's go by age order, from oldest to youngest :D
-- so there you have it, DONE AND DONE!
Wow I actually finished this :DDD It's been a while since I wrote about something I'm interested in with these much details -- it's refreshinggg~
END OF FANGIRLING QUOTA FOR TODAY ♥
Til the next fangirl session! ☆

Basically though, V6 is separated into 2 smaller (active) groups :
20th Century, or Tonisen, consists of the three
Coming Century, or Kamisen, consists of the three
NOW!
To sum up each members' personality, of course! ♥
Let's go by age order, from oldest to youngest :D
☆ Leader of V6, and a very leader-ish one at that!
☆ Also called by the name(s) : Maa-kun, Masa (ref : Shounen Club Premium 2001.07.21)
☆ Dislikes/scared of lotsa things, i.e height, insects...
☆ Other than what he's scared of, he's the image of what a man should be like. You know, other than being afraid of those aforementioned stuff *shot* ...simply put, his role in V6 is equivalent to what a father is to a family :D
☆ Active in theatres and musicals, if I'm not mistaken :3
☆ In his younger days, he had this reaaally scary persona to him; it was said that even Johnny, the Boss, would not dare to scold him if he makes any troubles/mistakes lol (ref : Oshareism with Okada Junichi, 2008.01.26)
☆ His known weakness is to be called 'senpai' by pretty girls XD
☆ There's a segment in Gakkou e Ikou! (GeI!) called Josou Paradise (where boys were dolled-up to look like girls, most of the time perfectly!); Sakamoto looks the happiest in that segment haha! LIKE SRSLY. You'll see him either getting super-hyped, or super-embarrased when acting out (random) scenes with the girls -- um, boys X'D
☆ Number one person to be picked in a team for baseball matches!
☆ Loves sake.
☆ Also called by the name(s) : Tiga (as in Ultraman Tiga -- he played Daigo, Tiga's human form :3), gourmet
☆ If Sakamoto is the father, then Nagano is the mother figure :D He's the one with kind words and non-judging persona; and he's also the least to get angry at anything. (I read that there was once where he did get angry, but I have no idea from what show/footage it's from =_=;)
☆ Prolly the most laid-back of the group 8D An almost my-pace kind of person; think Uruha lol
☆ His number one strong point has to be anything related to food; hence the nickname gourmet. He has stacks and stacks of notebooks of the names of restaurants and places he went/wants to go for the food; apparently he has made trips solely for the purpose of trying out food. Like a trip for ramen, then a trip for udon, etc. People actually ask him for recommendations!
☆ Also loves bikes and cars.
☆ CAN'T DRINK. Period. Will get smashed even in small amounts XD
☆ He can hurt you while having that constant smile on his face, no kidding. Who disagrees? XD
☆ Also called by the name(s) : Inocchi
☆ Known to be close friends with Matsuoka and Taichi (of TOKIO).
☆ If Kai is the most-smiling member of Gazette, then Inocchi is the most-smiling member of V6 :D
☆ ...heck, he's the most hyper of all the members, actually. Just watch any Yasumi Jikan segments in GeI!.
☆ He's married! :DDD aaand I think I read a line saying something on the lines of "Inocchi's wife is pregnant!" ♥
☆ Was known as a 'kissing demon' due to his habit of randomly kissing people when he gets drunk. (As of 2003, of all the members, only Nagano's lips haven't been stolen...yet. ref : 10th Anniversary Concert, members' secrets)
☆ The one with the most effort to get all the members to do activities together :'D
☆ Also the one with the best voice of the group :3 The first time I listened to Guilty (first song since I got interested in V6), I remember being really amazed at Inocchi's voice!
☆ He once dropped out of high school in order to pursue his career doing V6 activities; but then he succeeded in finishing his high school education thus graduating before he reaches 30 years old :D AWESOME JOB, INOCCHI!
☆ He's a great host, I think :3 He can handle talks really well, and he knows what to say/do when the situation calls for it.
☆ Also called by the name(s) : ...I have no idea. My bro calls him MoriMori though XD
☆ First impression would be that he's the badass of the group; kinda like how Reita brings the rough-guy image in Gazette :3
☆ But really, he's an idiot, albeit a lovable one XD *shot* He stumbles his words quite a lot, he stumbles on his own feet the same number of times he stumbles on his words; he does stuff in the clumsiest way an idol can, srsly. wait i feel myself grinning wait wait lemme regain my stoic face --
☆ Loves soccer, and is one of the good players in Johnny's :D
☆ Also good in bowling -- apparently he said that his best score was 275. (ref : HEY!x3 2006.06.19 Bowling match with Downtown, TOKIO, and V6; however, he failed to perform at all in the show HAHA)
☆ He's into golf too. (ref : Coming Century 2009 Tour Document; Theme of Coming Century)
☆ Has a younger sister. There was a time when he and his sister didn't talk to each other for SEVEN YEARS. All because he always makes his sister's boyfriend do stuff all the time so that the boyfriend and his sister couldn't spend much time together 8D (ref : Utaban 2009.06.21)
☆ Morita has a slightly higher voice than my currently 14-year-old brother. So when he laughs, it's kinda like...moe ♥ HAHAHAAA well to me, at least *cough* ...so are his giggles XD
☆ Miyake said he's a genius in dance. And Taichi also told Morita that when the Juniors who danced for The Shonen Club show were asked about which senpai they'd want to be like, Morita's name came up quite a lot :D (ref : Shonen Club Premium with Miyake Ken, 2008.05.18 & Shonen Club Premium with Morita Go, 2006.07.16)
☆ Also, from Kamisen's 2009 Tour, seeing each of the three's solo dance performance, Morita's was the most...I dunno, how do you say it, fluid? Like it doesn't look like it's following the steps of the choreography one by one; rather, he actually moves with the flow of the song :3 [edit] ...or maybe that's cuz his session doesn't have any backup dancers so that he doesn't have to synchronize with anyone else except for the girl...but anyways, he dances smooth XD
☆ Also called by the name(s) : ...someone tell me prz?In my head I nicknamed him Helium-boy
☆ His voice won't change even if he inhaled helium. It's at a natural high. HAHA XD bad pun sorry.
☆ Like his voice which stopped developing after reaching puberty, his appearance also refused to develop, apparently. There's once in HEY!x3 when Inocchi told Downtown that Miyake will turn 30 that year, Hamada went O___O and Matsumoto said "But you don't look that age!" (HEY!x3 2009.06.15)
☆ Is very open with what he wants to say, disregarding gender and age. But he knows when and where the limit is, so don't worry -- he's an idol, after all :3
☆ Miyake and Morita has known each other the longest in V6; Morita said, "I'm probably the one who understands him the best." They're both the same age. (ref : Shonen Club Premium with Morita Go, 2006.07.16)
☆ Miyake said he doesn't want people to know much about him. And I have to say that he's succeeding -- I don't think I know anything at all about him, and I can't even make up an image for him. Give me a cluuue~ (ref : Shonen Club Premium with Miyake Ken, 2008.05.18)
☆ Apparently he's on good terms with TOKIO's Yamaguchi :D They used to hang out together with a bunch of other people for a while. Miyake also said he likes Yamaguchi's singing voice :DDDHIGH FIVE MIYAKE I LIKE IT TOO(ref : Shonen Club Premium with Miyake Ken, 2008.05.18)
☆ He's good in (kick?)boxing, swimming, and surfing.
☆ Also one of the lesser strength when it comes to drinking -- it was known that he has/had become a spoiled brat, and a really rude customer who flings expensive mushrooms at his drunk manager's nipples XD (ref : Oshareism with Okada Junichi, 2008.01.26 & 10th Anniversary Concert, members' secrets)
☆ Also called by the name(s) : ...I remember Inocchi referring to him as 'Jun-chan' in their 10th Anniversary concert 8D
☆ I think a lot of people already know him from his acting; like Tiger & Dragon, SP, Kisarazu Cat's Eye. He's a good actor too :3
☆ The most good-looking of the group! DON'T LIE TO MEEE. He's not even my number one favorite, yet I have to say he's the best-looking XD That, and he's photogenic too :D
☆ Always branded as a/an 'refined, serious, elite, sophisticated, cool' person due to the characters he portrays in his acting work.
☆ ...apparently, he's waaay different in his private time than what's shown on screen -- he's kind of like this 'in my own world'-type of person. Like, it was known that he had 'reinforced' the entire first page of a script with cellophane tape; he blanks out everything on his script with correction liquid; he straightens paper clips and trace it on paper so that it'll be easier to fold; he makes origami cranes from gum wrappers each time he eats gum, etc.
☆ Because of this 'gap' between his real life and his acting characters, it's considered an entertainment on its own when people try to get him to act his usual, normal self on shows (i.e Sakamoto 'inviting' a photography club to take photos of Okada's 'normal, everyday' life), or just plain tease him X3 (i.e Tamori harrassing him during standby, Hamada harrassing him...everytime he can HAHA) (ref : GeI! : Okada's Way of Life photoshoot, 2008.02.19 & Waratte Iitomo : Okada Junichi on Telephone Shocking, 2009.05.15 & HEY!x3 2009.06.15)
☆ He's into carpentry :D There was a time when he'd carve out wooden bears and leave them at a nearby park for the kids. KAWAII DESHO ♥ (ref : Oshareism with Okada Junichi, 2008.01.26)
☆ He's also into interior stuff. He likes western/European furnitures. (ref : Oshareism with Okada Junichi, 2008.01.26)
☆ He's into photography too :3 and film-making, if I'm not mistaken. He wanted to film the V6 members, he said once in Tokyo Friends Park; that's why he wanted a video camera (IT WAS A SONY DAMMIT!) (ref : Oshareism with Okada Junichi, 2008.01.26 & TFP 2005.09.26)
☆ He's actually a very nervous person; during his school days, when the teachers call his name to answer a question, he'll throw up on the spot. He still feels so nowadays, when he has to be in front of a lot of people (as of 2008 at least lol); he said it's a miracle he's in this kind of industry. (ref : Oshareism with Okada Junichi, 2008.01.26)
☆ He collects Bearbricks! I'LL STEAL THEM ALL ONE DAY, YOU'LL SEE. (ref : Oshareism with Okada Junichi, 2008.01.26)
☆ He's a fast learner, or just plain super-skilled at everything. Throw anything at him, he can do it no matter what; 3 kg in 5 hours? Not a problem. Horseback archery? Done.(GeI! : Shonen Okada, 1998.12.10 & GeI! : Horseback archery, 2005.08.02)
☆ He's a Sony spokesperson...or something. Endorsed by Sony? Anyways -- WHY OKADA WHYYY MY FAVORITE STUFF HAVE YOU IN ITTT. photography, bearbricks, Sony... =___=
☆ He's cutest when he's all hyped up teehee. Or when he pulls up a sudden joke XD
☆ His way of talking is...I dunno, I like it :3 There's a dragging-ish characteristic to it...prolly the Osaka effect lol. Come to think of it, I like Aoi's way of talking too X3
-- so there you have it, DONE AND DONE!
Wow I actually finished this :DDD It's been a while since I wrote about something I'm interested in with these much details -- it's refreshinggg~

Date: 2010-12-29 03:26 am (UTC)And oh man, when you said you're grinning at what you're typing for Morita, I was grinnnnning like an idiot too. Scary huh, fandoms. I've tried writing out "Why is Morita Go my favourite, and the favourite". I'll see if I have time to hunt for suitable screencaps/pictures and I'll post it!
AND I STILL HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE MEME I wanted to steal from you. Another fail. orz!
And, lastly, I'm so glad you entered V6's fandom! :)
no subject
Date: 2010-12-29 07:38 pm (UTC)YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW WEIRD IT WAS WHEN I REALIZE I WAS GRINNING ALONE WHILE TYPING. or maybe you do have an idea; i bet you do teehee. i'll wait for that post of yours, definitely! i'll remind myself to inhale lots of nerve-calming gas before reading that post, so please be as flail-y and crazy and explosive as you can! miahahahaaa.
i'm glad i entered this fandom too! it actually taught me a lot :D like srsly :)
