Buiroku's 15th Anniversary!

[chiisanahito]

It's November 1st where they are,
which means :





H a p p y   1 5 t h   A n n i v e r s a r y
V6
★ ★ ★


For someone who's only been in the fandom for 4-5 months,
surprisingly I feel comfortable with the V6 fans,
which makes me want to support this group even more :)




Feel the ♥ for them and for you ;3

Um...random rant about how I met V6, then? 8D

My first Johnny's love was TOKIO, actually.
It's because of them that I became more open to the world of idol groups -- before this I was all anti-pop, anti-boybands, anti-dance-groups (but am all in for Jabbawockeez though hee), all-hardcore J-rock, band music, all those stuff. But recently (= the past one year or so) I told myself to try and accept things that don't seem familiar to me. For instance, on an interpersonal level, being more honest with people, telling them what I really think instead of holding it in and regretting it later; try to be happy for other people, AND show it -- I couldn't praise people at all before this, srsly.

...wait I'm straying from the main topic here. OK OK back on track --

OK so! TOKIO.
They're a band, they play instruments, thus the transition from the J-rock world to TOKIO was pretty easy. And then came Nagase's act in Tiger & Dragon, where Okada was also there. And then Okada's acting was super interesting, which led to searching about him, which, in turn, brought me to discover a group called V6. Daring myself to listen to one of their releases to know who this Okada, a member of this V6, actually is, I chose Guilty PV.

I never regret that dare I made.

-- so that's basically how I got hooked onto this group. But actually I've just realized that I've heard about them way before this. Or at least a part about them anyways haha :D

When I listened to HONEY BEAT during the early times of getting into this fandom, I felt that it sounded reaaally familiar. I thought that maybe it's an anime opening or ending somewhere, but Googling around I couldn't find any anime with OP or ED with the title. Then I looked at the PV, and it struck to me -- those school uniforms! I know where I've seen them before! -- I saw them on Animax on the local TV! It was Music Japan (around 2007) where Gackt was also one of the guest artists; I remembered cuz it was a school graduation/exam cheer kind of 'special' episode, and Gackt sang this song with the words "sakura blooms" or something :DDD
In actuality, HONEY BEAT was my first V6 song XD
I remembered being very impressed at the number of people around their stage at the time -- hundreds of students in different school uniforms, all surrounding the stage, dancing along to the beat! Even me at that time thought that was impressive XD

Oh and since I didn't watch Inuyasha, so I don't know about Change The World lol. I remembered the first time I heard of this song -- Inuyasha was on TV at that time a few years ago -- I thought : "Waaahhh typical pop band!!" XDDD Me and my brothers were singing along to the words that we can read from the on-screen lyrics though, so that didn't mean we thought the song was bad or anything AHAHA 8D

Also, I thought Okada was my first actor-V6, but nope. My first actor-V6 is actually someone I didn't expect to see again after all these years! Let's go back a few more years before HONEY BEAT -- I guess around junior high, which would be 2002/2003-ish. On our local TV, there was a period where they'll be showing Japanese dramas in the weekend evenings -- the best J-drama at that time was GTO, of course! -- and one of the dramas that they show was The Queen of Lunchtime (Lunch no Joou). I remembered being so immersed in the story that I became sooo hateful towards the guy who played Natsumi's violent ex-boyfriend, Shuuji; to me, he was a total bastard -- he hit Natsumi! But Natsumi still went along with him, why Natsumi whyyy -- ?! lol emotional shit Srsly, I super-hate that guy. But somehow, when that drama ended, the character that was the most impactful to me was that bastard Shuuji, even though he wasn't a main character lol.
So who was the actor that played Shuuji?
It was Morita Go.
Honestly though I like his acting in this drama more than in their V6 movies and Kuitan; he was more 'natural' in it, imo. But whatever, I don't know much about characters and acting, so I'll leave it at that :3


AND NOW, here I am, in this world where I thought I'd never be in, years before.


-- alright so this is long enough, and I don't think the wordy paragraphs make sense anymore ahaha. But in any case, again, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY V6!



A Reason to Smile today :
Ken's chu ♥ AHAHA *shot*


ps : Oh right I thought of posting part 4 of the GeI! Summer Break SP, but...it'll come later, promise! (Later doesn't mean soon, right? *shot again*)

HAPPY V6 DAY!!! :D Your photo is pretty, may I ask where is it from? I have a feeling it looks super familiar but I just can't put my head to it. :) Their 10th anniversary?

I love your post, I actually like reading HOW people entered a fandom, coincidences or not, I think its pretty amazing how we all love the same boyband now! :)


I watched Lunch no Joou for Go, but sadly I haven't even reached the part where he appeared. I started watching "Mother" all for Morita Go just because he said he cried while watching that drama, I'm biased.


Okay, this comment is getting away from the main point! :)

ENJOY THE DAY!!! I can't wait for the DVD! XD

HAPPY V6 DAAAY ★

The screencap? Yep from their 10th anniversary documentary! :D I've been wanting to use that cap for a while lol. The windows forming 'V6' is too awesome X3

I'm glad you liked this post XD cuz when I read it again it's pretty embarrassing ahaha!

Go only appeared in the later half of Lunch no Joou -- first appearance in the ending of episode 7 I think :3 Don't feel bad, I'm biased too X3 I've heard of Mother! But I can't remember how I heard of it...prolly because Go's in it? 8D

Naw comments straying from the main point are my favorites ;3

HOPE YOUR DAY WAS GREAT! ★

Happy V6 Day to you too... So I could say I'm a V6 fan too although really2 new one... *Thanks to your spams*... Hehe... Finally, I can accept them... My first V6 song is Change the world coz it's on Tv3 *tho I don't really watch that Inuyasha anime* but the first V6 performance that I ever saw is Feel your breeze... It's not the PV but they were on a show or something... maybe a mini concert... coz the stage was small... I don't even remember how the performance end up into my laptop... It's either from my bro or fren or I downloaded it randomly on youtube... Ah! The Queen of Lunchtime... I like that drama but maybe coz it was long time ago.... Morita Go is in it??? I don't even remember... Oh right the jerk who hit the heroine... I need to rewatch this drama!

Btw, have you heard about the Johnnys' international mailing list? I heard it in domotokyodai comm and smaxsmap... But no one posted about it in Tokio or V6 comm...

[chiisanahito.livejournal.com]

yay HAPPY V6 DAY! :DDD

oh yay i actually pulled someone into the fandom -- i'm so glad! :D i'm new myself too, so let's go through this together ★ (gila sappy? 8D)

The Queen of Lunchtime ada show kat TV3 dulu! ke NTV7 entah. but anyways, yep Go's that unforgivable jerk! sangatlah the worst jerk bila tengok balik cerita ni sekarang haha! XDDD

ehhh international mailing list? nope never heard of it D: what is that? what does it do?
-- wait i found info here (http://community.livejournal.com/news_jpop/5783478.html?view=56893110#t56893110) and the form is here (https://g.ab0.jp/johnnys-international/1100_p.php/7Hvz8A) so...now what? 8D

[chiisanahito.livejournal.com]

oh btw i love Feel Your Breeze too! :D the pV though, cuz i've never come across any shows like the one you said~ that sounds cool though! *goes to look for it*

[didihime.livejournal.com]

Yeah... Let's go through this together... XDDD

The Queen of Lunchtime *luv it coz got so muc eating scenes* tu kat TV3 dulu.... Time tu xde lg 8TV rasanya... Sekarang ni cerita Jepun cuma siar kat 8Tv je... Sian la... Dari dulu sampai sekarang masa siaran drama Jepun tak pernah bertambah... Lagi dikurang adalah.... Dulu disiar Sabtu & Ahad... Sekarang hari Ahad je. Latest Jdarama is Buzzer Beat... I'm watching it... Baru episode 3 kot.... Terlepas ending drama BOSS lak...

I've actually join the Johnny's mailing list already! XD You should too... Let them know they have fans around the world *and in Malaysia*! ^^

[didihime.livejournal.com]

The Feel Your Breeze perf..... Hehehe.... You know.... Altho I dunno anybody from V6 back then but my eyes were glued to Sakamoto... "Oh this guy dance... looks cool... ///^^///" was what I'm thinking.... LOL...

I love reading fandom history like this ^^ Before this, I also didn't like JE/the idol world (long story short, I got interested in JE b/c of Nobuta wo Produce, did some research on Kame/KAT-TUN and didn't like what I saw - particularly b/c of the fandom), so I stopped for a while. But when I found V6 (also b/c of Tiger & Dragon :D) somehow it just felt right. In the beginning, I thought it would just be a short fling, like 1 month max, but wow was I wrong! And so here I am, and I love it :x

[chiisanahito.livejournal.com]

OH GOD SOMEONE ELSE READ THIS ENTRY XD thank you very much!
i watched Nobuta wo Produce too, and i pretty liked the story, but at that time i didn't even know about the existence of Johnny's or even aware of anything like idol groups. and i'm pretty sure it'll be quite different -- the feeling of getting into this JE fandom -- if it started with any other groups beside V6 and TOKIO :)

either way, it's a good thing that i got into these two groups' fandom -- other than the already-awesome guys we flail at, the fans really add the awesomeness by being super-great supporters of each other! ★

i'm ranting, ain't i? sorry for that!
but yeah, still, thank you very much for dropping by here :D

[chiisanahito.livejournal.com]

hehe. again, thanks for reading! :)

Lunch no Joou is one of my faves! ♥ hehe. I didn't watch a lot of dramas though, but comparing Go's roles in Lunch no Joou and Kuitan, I'll say he does better in Lunch no Joou ahahaaa *shot*
Ehhh Feel Your Breeze is used in Gokusen? Really?! 8D *new fan is new*

You're one of the nice V6 fans too! :D
