flailing

[angelshill]

please excuse me while i flail for a while...

anyway... it's been a while since i posted something in here that isn't a fic update...
and rarely have i posted something else over the last few months...
but while i will soon be doing that again (updates for Against the Ghost of You, The Chase, and Fake Fairytale to be posted pretty soon), allow me to do this for a bit...

first off, i am in the midst of, what i like to refer to as, work hiatus...
but it certainly isn't a bad thing though...
in fact, i requested for these two weeks...
i need the time to prepare for something big in my life, way bigger than working in the company i'm employed at...

(actually i'm a bit miffed at the company at the moment due to various reasons... to cut it short, they really are not giving me anything to look forward to going back there... but who am i kidding? i'd have to go back... it's just that i'm not that excited to do that...)

and while i did my preparations (though admittedly, not as serious as some would think), i've also had a bit time to rest...

 

Resting for me means quite a few things only...

There's sleeping, there's writing, there's watching (and dl-ing) and there's reading...

and considering the number of ongoings i still have, one would assume i'd be writing, right?
 

well... that's a NO...
 

i've been dl-ing and watching for a bit this week and i am quite in a SMAP mood (which meant that NEWS really remains to be the only group i am not that interested in of all the Johnny debuted groups... i mean, i'm even interested in Kisumai once they really come out and i find some free time...)

i'm actually just interested to see how this particular group interacts with one another...

now, there's no point in comparing groups to one another... on who's better or who's closer or who's funnier...

every group i've seen has their own brand, their specialty, their type...

and i think that forcing unto a group a style of another wouldn't be good. in fact, it may even ruin everything...

 

anyway, when i started downloading, i wasn't expecting much...

i mean, i've read a bit about this national idol group, the group characteristics, the group dynamics, the personalities involved, and so on and so forth... i've read stuff like how Nakai, the talker, is also Nakai, the non-singer and how cool Kimutaku is...

i shouldn't be surprised...

but i still am...

 

 

KIMURA TAKUYA is just.... WOW!

 

i don't really know how to say this (and i just have to say that it doesn't mean that it was only Kimutaku who caught my eyes in all those vids) ... there's just something inherently cool and awesome about the guy...

i've said to my friends (who're into J-pop too) that i kind of understand why and how Kimutaku became the dream of every Japanese woman in some generations...
well, now, remove the "kind of" bit and i'll say i really know!

there's just something about the guy that lures you in whenever he's flashed on the screen...

like, i don't know, magic perhaps?

 

and while i know that most Arashian's (i'm just using it as an example since most of my LJ friends, if not all, are Arashian's... i'm not trying to pick a fight or anything) would say that Sho is Mr. Perfect (and i wouldn't really disagree with that), my Mr. Perfect would be Kimutaku...

 

i love his voice whether he's singing or just talking, he can dance, he sure can act (and i love his acting), he's good with people, i love his laugh, i love how he smiles and winks, he (looks, based on Bistro SMAP, like) can cook and a whole lot more...

and perhaps, my most favorite part of his profile is that he's a husband and a father...

yeah... i love that about him...
 

and yes, while Matsujun still is my favorite Johnny and Sakamoto my favorite singer, i've found new-found love in Kimutaku...

and... since like i said i've been DL-ing SMAP shows, naturally, i DL-ed that show of theirs that mentioned a very interesting name as the guest...

 

Ashida Mana!

 

 

the kid, as usual is adorable in their Bistro SMAP segment for SMAPxSMAP courtesy of smappiesubs ...

she just kind of looked and sounded a bit sick around the time they recorded the segment... but the kid is adorable!

 

and i love how Nakai played with her... Nakai wasn't as comfortable with her as he was with the kid who played his son in that movie where he and Nakama Yukie are a couple (the kid, Kato Tsubasa, i think, guested with Nakama Yukie in the same segment and they absolutely looked adorable! like a family!) but it was great nonetheless...

Shingo is always fun (even as he co-splayed a sugar glider and Mana still said his dessert was bitter) as he played around...

Tsuyoshi was funny, especially when he asked Mana to mention his name in case they're searching for a big brother...

and even Goro looked really cute when they still hadn't unveiled who's going to be Mana's boyfriend and who's the rival in love...

and then of course, there's Kimura...

 

i found it really adorable when they were playing hide and seek and he's the only one left (Mana is IT) and Mana was still searching for him when he's behind that big camera of theirs (i don't know it's name) and how he laughed when Mana finally realized he was there...

and how he was when he and Mana were playacting as a couple dating, and then Shingo appeared (playing the mother role, Shingo is adorable, by the way)...

 

 

and then when Mana picked his dish as first and she had to kiss him on the cheeks as the prize (it's the prize for the winner for every female guest) because his dish had lots and lots of cucumber (of course she'd request cucumber as the dish), and he hugged her, it was just so cute!

 

and yeah... i laughed when Nakai, after asking Mana if it's her first time kissing someone on the cheeks, turned to Kimura and said "Take responsibility!"... it was Mana's first kiss after all...

 

and i'm going to agree with Nakai in the part where he said that it was something memorable...

 

and that ends my Kimura Takuya + Ashida Mana flailing post!

LOL...

any questions??? :D

 

 

 

by the way, i just realized that the last time i used pics for mys posts (excluding the banners and posters for my fics) was with Arashi + Ashida Mana as well...

 

yeah, i really love this kid! :)

somehow i understand what you said about kimutaku. he just had an aura that really attract people towards him.
and i think that smap is funny. especially nakai and shingo. did you watched the one with mukai osamu? it's one of the best episode of bistro smap. even though my favourite episode would be when kato tsubasa and nakama yukie were the guest...
sorry for a long comment..xD

[angelshill.livejournal.com]

fail!for late reply!
anyway...
yeah! there really is something about Kimutaku!
he's just...

haven't watched the Mukai Osamu guesting yet, i might watch it soon though,
but i love the Nakama Yukie+Kato Tsubasa guesting ep!
it's one of my fave eps... :)

hehe, smap is the 1st Johnny's that I knew followed by tokio. haha, i really think that smap is a funny group and interesting. KimuTaku? I love him a long time ago until now, since he was the 1st Jap actor that I knew and fall in love with, and introducing smap to me. I think I've watched most of his drama until now since I was in primary school. He definitely has something that make people attracted to him. huhu~

oh... wow...
i've known and heard of them for a long time now but i wasn't really interested into knowing them...
until recently.

and then when i did, it was the same way that happened when i got into all the other groups...
i'm hooked!
lol!

so far, the only drama i've watched of Kimutaku is Pride...
and i've got to say, i;m in love with it...
seriously!
i mean really, really seriously!
i even feel like writing a fanfic inspired by the drama and i'm seriously considering it as an option!
(even though i've got about so many ongoings already)

(btw... sorry for the late reply! :))

Ah~! Pride is AWESOME. I love it. You should watch other dramas too, he's just so awesome actor~!

I second the fic based on that~! hehe
