When I was 12 I loved an english boyband called Blue. After a year or two this love faded away and I fell in love with rock. I love rock music, this is my favourite style. When I started to listen japanese music I started with Gackt, The GazettE and L'arc~en~Ciel... the rock side. I fell in love with the Japanese rockstyles. It's just ... different. I like a lot of rock bands from all around the world but never cared with the performers, the musicians and singers. I wasn't interested in their personality only in their music. But with japanese performers... it was different.
I think the main reason is Gackt. I remember the first time I saw a video of the Last Song unplugged version. I was rendered speechless. He had such a strong powerful aura around him, I've never seen before. Then came Moon Child and I became interested who is this man. He is a very unique being, I think most of the people would be interested so I didn't think about my curiousity too much but then... Jpop came.
Hell, I never thought that in the early winter of 2008's january I would fell in love with a boyband. I was 17 in that year. I think I am a bit old for drooling over twentysomething years old children. Because they are children in my eyes. But maybe that is one of the reasons... they touched the mother instincts in me which are very-very deep inside of me. I'm absolutely not the mother type but every time I watch the Johnny boys(=every guy which belongs to the Johnny's Jimusho)I want to adopt them. (except Akanishi Jin. Hell, that guy is HOT! He is the first celebrity I would love to sleep with. and if that makes me into a bitch, then damn it! - I'm a bitch. But have you ever seen him dance?)
KAT-TUN, NEWS and Kanjani8... 3 JE groups I love and able to bear even their love songs. They are quite different groups. I would call Kanjani8 to a party, News to my wedding and KAT-TUN to my hen party (? did I use the right word?)
News is rather similar to the other groups like Arashi or T&T but the personality of the members mades it special. I fell in love with News after watching the Never Ending Wonderful Story DVD. they were just cute... too cute. and Ryo sang Code and I realized that it doesn't matter what shit they say about his personality because he is the only guy in that group who can make a song which has meaning and isn't shallow. the next one who amazes me in tha group is YamaPi. (one of Ryo's best friends XD) That guy has only one mistake: very bad hairstyle taste... (there is only one good thing about his current hairstlye: he can tie it up.) Yamapi is loved by most of his colleagues. (he is Tackey's son after all... XD) It doesn't surprise me because that guy has a very big heart. The others are cute kids. Tegoshi and Massu are the cutest boys I've ever seen but TegoMassu was the worst idea of ever. That is very sickly sweet. (even if Tego said he loves sickly sweet... I nearly wanted to kill the cutie after he said that). Shige and Koyama are funny. very funny. they have good humour.
I don't listen News songs. I rather watch their concert DVDs. Those are great and very entertaining.(It's just sad that when they are in onsens or in their dressing room naked the cameras are high... too high... )
Kanjani8 is crazy! for example: to be able to translate their debuting song - Naniwa Iroha Bushi - you need to be practiced in japanese literature... or there is It's my soul... it's a love song! believe me! even if the PV is... well... interestingly strange... But the best is The Eito Renja (Eight Ranger). I suppose Yokohama Yuu watched too many Power Rangers when he was little and came up with this and the others loved the idea - of course. Well - if something is funny, strange, creepy and genious altogether then Kanjani8 will definitely love it. And you don't have to be afraid of something sickly pink if you see colours by them. because you can be sure they are just joking (not like Arashi. If you don't want to see something terribly colourful, then NEVER - I repeat it: NEVER WATCH THE KITTO DAIJOUBU PV OF ARASHI!)
KAT-TUN is the group I'm in love the most. Six very different guy - attractive himself each on his own - in one group. They have the highest sexual emission in the japanese popworld. KAT-TUN is sexy and a slut. The whole KAT-TUN. Kamenashi Kazuya is the biggest bitch I've ever seen and a very talented performer.
Jin is a diva and hell, HOT! (this guy can make you melt in your panties) and has a beautiful, strong voice (and finally I can say that Hyde isn't the only japanese singer who can speak english.) And he is the 3rd part of a whole with YamaPi and Ryo.
Junno has very much energy, he is like a living Duracell bunny and the biggest child in the band. And very sexy when he is serious. (watch him in Yukan Club! he is genious in that drama!)
Koki is a naughty boy, tha only one except Jin who dare to sing about sex openly. and he has a very interesting english pronounciation. XD
Ueda is the most beautiful human being of the world, and a pretty rock chick (yes, chick.. well, let's say that Ueda is a man and not. he is very feminim. his nickname is Hime which means princess).
And Nakamaru is a talented beat box-er. my jaw always drops when I watch him.
KAT-TUN is the most succesful group of the last years. Fuck, 10 days in the Tokyo Dome! And they were the very first band who could perform in the Tokyo Dome even before their debute. Who the hell would have thought it in 2001 that a group of backdancers, whom were chosen only for one performance would make such a big succes?
So. I thought okay... 3 band maybe isn't the end of the world... it's all okay. after all I still listen to rock music most of the time, a bit pop won't cause me any harm. Then came Korea.
I think everybody heard about DBSK/TVXQ/THSK which one you like. This korean pop group of five. God. I fel in love again. They are just... good. Talented. You can't tear away your eyes from them. Yunho, Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu and Changmin are my newest addiction.
There is no way I could explain why am I so interested in them, too, not just in their music. I can't explain it in the case of KAT-TUN and the others either. They are just people whom I would love to meet and talk. I only know that they are somehow more reachable and loveable than all the american, english, australian etc. singers and bands I've ever known. I love them and I don't think that after a year or to this love will fade away. They are just different. I feel about them differently.
Is there anybody who understands what I am talking about?
