Oh the joy! SMAP was on MS and I have been doing some good things. Read on with this entry and you shall find
– DL-link to my mp3-rip of SMAP‘s new single 弾丸 Fighter from yesterday’s MS
– stream/DL -link to both SMAP‘s and TOKIO‘s talk-parts from yesterday’s MS.

Maybe I’ll go first for the Music Station. The guest list looked like this:

mihimaru GT – I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY
SMAP – 弾丸 Fighter [Dangan Fighter]
EXILE – I Believe
Crystal Kay – Shining
東京事変 – 閃光少女 [Tokyo Jihen – Senkou Shoujo]
TOKIO – 青春 ~SEISYuN~ [Seishun]
奥田民生 – 無限の風 [Okuda Tamio – Mugen no Kaze]

SMAP were looking good. Golden suit-jackets and then jeans. They were on Ministe aswell. Listen to Kimutaku‘s pronunciation of “弾丸” 😀
And Taichi posing.. yeah ^^

TOKIO-talk part: http://www.vimeo.com/410929
As you can see, Leader’s got some.. hair-issues? 😉
Anyway, the talk is hilarious. They’re fighting over a bill (“Joshima-san!?” 😀 Like really, I don’t think anyone EVER calls him that. Everyone is always “Leader” this and that.)
The performance of ‘青春 ~SEISYuN~’ is good, I love the cello and violins at the back.

And now excuse me, but to make this total random, I just have to throw in one more clip.
Utaban 29/11: Nakai like totally owns KAT-TUN‘s 赤西仁 [Akanishi Jin]: http://www.vimeo.com/409355

Oh and the promised sales. Here.

-singles- day #4 (1/12)
03 TOKIO: 青春 ~SEISYuN~ 9448 + 6526 + 2870 + 2092 = 20936 (x1.75) = 36,638 [Seishun]

-albums-
01 小田和正: 自己ベスト-2 – 20429 + 24552 +13222 + 11870 = 70073 (x1.7) = 119,124 [Oda Kazumasa: Jiko Best 2]
02 Rip Slyme: FUNFAIR – 10748 + 10325 +5497 + 3981 = 39551 (x1.7) = 51,937

Laruku is back in top-3 for the albums. I have nothing against that.
But seriously, KAT-TUN #2… *grimace*

“..運命なのか それそれの Melody..”

np. TOKIO – 青春 ~SEISYuN~

As requested (begged, bribed and blackmailed), I’ve done something.
TOKIO: 青春 ~SEISYuN~-lyrics (romaji + English translation á aleyna).
It was actually done for BNS, since they wanted to sub the PV and I happened to be around..
Anyway, it’s not exactly a happy-happy-song, but it has a warm and positive message despite it’s slight gloominess. Fits the drama very well, btw.

My single arrived yesterday so it was indeed counted in the preorders.
The debut sales were horrible. Not only for TOKIO, who btw managed to grab the #1-spot nonetheless, but for everyone. After last weeks’ blast it seems that buyers are dead. Or then just maybe it’s been quiet in Tokyo and people all over Japan elsewhere have done some record-shopping.. I wish.

The sales didn’t even vary that much and I don’t think that ERIKA‘s ‘Destination Nowhere‘ is either very far away.

-singles- day #1 (28/11)
01 TOKIO: 青春 ~SEISYuN~ – 9448 (x1.75) = 16,534 [Seishun]
02 Acid Black Cherry: 愛してない – 9361 (x1.75) = 16,382 [Aishitenai]
03 Berryz工房: 付き合ってるのに片思い 評価する – 9244 (x1.75) = 16,177 [Berryz Koubou: Tsukiatteru no ni kataomoi]

-singles- day #2 (29/11)
01 TOKIO: 青春 ~SEISYuN~ – 6526 (x1.75) = 11,421 [Seishun]
02 AIDSチャリティProject: RED RIBBON Spiritual Song – 6444 (x1.75) = 11,277
03 Acid Black Cherry: 愛してない – 5680 (x1.75) = 9,940 [Aishitenai]

-albums-
01 小田和正: 自己ベスト-2 – 20429 + 24552 (x1.7) = 76,468 [Oda Kazumasa: Jiko Best 2]
02 Rip Slyme: FUNFAIR – 10748 + 10325 (x1.7) = 35,824
03 WaT: WaT Collection – 7949 + 6492 (x1.7) = 24,550

So TOKIO‘s up to 27,955 and ABC 26,322.

For those interested in JE in general, the yearly Countdown is getting closer and closer.
To put everyone in a right mood, fluffy decided to upload the 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 Countdown-shows in the JPS-tracker.

They’re worth downloading and watching, if I remember correctly, for the hilarious backstage-footage of 2003-2004 only, let alone then the actual show. Dai-senpais are so cool. I need to go find my 男闘呼組 Best-album right now..
TOKIO is amazing every year, I recommend downloading.



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*
