np. KinKi Kids – 愛されるより愛したい

GLAY’s newest single Ashes.EP followed my expectations and went to #2 on Oricon Daily (..you go and try to compete with Mr. Children..) with a nice marginal to #3, which was something I had never heard of. I had to go and search for it, but as soon as I saw that it’s related to H!P, I suddenly didn’t think I wanted to know more ;p
Other than that, I really like the single. It’s a maxi with four tracks, inluding a wonderful Beatles-cover Mother Nature’s Son. Funny how that actually became my favourite one from the whole single though.

I was asked to post short summaries of November’s Shounen Clubs here too. I might actually do that. Plus I’ll have to talk about SC soon anyway.

And a few random words:
X Japan’s new song I.V. is magnificent.
NEWS will be on Utaban tomorrow. I seriously can’t wait ^^
Yukan Club still sucks big time. I have been saying that the ratings will keep dropping, and I have been right. A huge plus for the drama is though the fact that they actually had 忍成修吾 making a guest appearance in the ep.03 yesterday. I like him.

np. B’z – SUPER LOVE SONG

This one took forever to publish. But really, I should blame my will to make a clip of the Girlfriend-performance for it.
But it IS worth it, seeing Kimutaku’s winks to the camera and him singing “..hell yeah I’m the motherf*cking princess”.
*cracks up*
Sorry for that ^^

So the bistro-guest is Matt Damon, who promotes the last one of the Bourne-series. I think I’ve seen the first two, but have yet to catch this part.. Anyway, if you’ve never seen a fanboying Nakai (aka. seen him watch baseball… *grin*), here is your chance :D

Kimutaku goes serious and Damon seems not to be able to shut up. Well, it’s nice to know.
But in the middle of babbling he also compliments SMAP of their ‘multitalency’, which (of course) earns a roar of laughter from the staff ;p
SxS 29.10.07

Umm. Nothing really interesting in the first tasting-part, except that they do pick on Tsuyoshi a little, Kimutaku looks so so so self-satisfied (ok, when wouldn’t he here?), Damon offers Nakai a spoon (I cracked up) and that I really would love to have Kimutaku make a tempura-risotto for me too. Ahem..
And Shingo is love, as always (I won’t put any caps here, but I think you can guess what he did this time).

Oh Tsuyoshi and Shingo, aren’t you, you know, sucking up the guest a little too much?
SxS 29.10.07

Kimutaku is devastated.. he just keeps complaining during the rest of the time ^^
SxS 29.10.07

I won’t cap the next two corners much or at all. It’d just spoil them.
They had the Magician Zero-skit in here. Hilarious, totally loved it. Card-tricks. And Kimutaku’s Engrish. I’m almost fangirling. Ehm.
SxS 29.10.07
Then they have SMAP-news. Nakai you’re so love :D

Avril Lavigne is the music-guest. She performs first “When You’re Gone” and then SMAP join her for the promised “Girlfriend“. Notice Kimura taking his micstand and going down onto the floor at the back plus Nakai twirling around.

Plus I think I have got a clip of Kimutaku and Goro dancing to Spice Girls’s Wannabe.. with the hip-thrusts and lip-pursings. But it might be better to UL it to youtube or some streaming site, since it’s very short.

SMAP & Nostalgy

np. SMAP – がんばりましょう

Okay, first of all. I promised short mindnotes + caps from the latest SMAPxSMAP-shows. I will give you that.
But first, something so nostalgic that it breaks me ^^

Feel free to click. It’s a TV-show from all the way back 1995. The guests are indeed SMAP, TOKIO and KinKi Kids (Nagase, Koichi and Tsuyoshi are all 16. Dear Lord. It’s hilarious, check it out. Nakai is love as always and Kimutaku takes breaths away).

Now, to the SMAPxSMAP.
First I have to say that this year I haven’t really followed the show even if I love it to bits. I think I’ve just got to start watching it again, because I’m once again hooked. How can you not love these guys?
Well, the episode from 22.10 had the “normal” guest 仲間由紀惠 (f.e. from 里見八犬伝, 功名が辻 and the JE-fangirls know her as “Yankumi” from the ごくせん-series). Kimutaku is hilarious. I love when he lets his silly side come up. Plus that his confidence when serving the food always cracks me up. Well.. he DOES have the most kisses, so.. ;)

And then Victoria Beckham glomps in and Goro and Kimutaku take their “aliases” in use again. Hikaru is so XD, to use that smiley only. I’m used to see Victoria acting snobby, but actually she was real nice and looked kind of relaxed. Though, she could have worn more _clothes_.
>> I want to learn how to make gifs, because Kimutaku (+Goro, but.. yeah) dancing to Spice’s “Wannabe” with all the hip thrusts and lip-pursings.. Kyaah (note: I just DID NOT write that..).

Click here for streaming ;)

The music guest was their anniversary-having TRF (woman, you’re past the middle-age. More clothes on, please. I’m feeling actually bad for you plus the other women on stage).
Yeah, TRF did a medley (surprise surprise), SMAP were involved in the beginning, then they went off stage. But then when “Survival dance” begun, Kimutaku appeared. In a stripe-top and worn jeans.
*insert gaping*
