Needless to say, I LOVE NAKAMASSU♥
(And HI to all, I've been organizing and cleaning my messy room lately, I'm not on LJ often but I'm fine in general!)
Actually a few weeks ago this rumor was found in Japanese KAT-TUN fandom, however, as no one could clarify the source, we had been doubting until tonight.

( What's your job? )

I feel it awful not translating for a loooooooooooooong time as it used to be my habit, but apparently I am too lazy now, it doesn't mean I am leaving from fandom, as I am flailing everyday♥
I wanted to post this until his drama will be shown!!!

( Family bond in the year Showa 50s is tighter than that in our time, I thought. )

Until today I didn't realize that this video was uploaded!!

So, this is my favorite singer&song writer&dancer Saeki YouthK!!!♥
He played Hina/Maru unit song 'YOU CAN SEE' in the band style with original lyrics.
And actually this is filmed from the concert which I went♥<3<3<3 (I was sitting a few meters away in front of him)




Hopes you'll like him as well.
I'm now really addicted to him because of everything, including his polite attitude(unlike someone who was quite talented as artist but rude as a human in the society), and I'm going to see him at the short concert tonight♥
He is a professional composer belonging to Avex-related company, but he hasn't released any CDs yet except the personally pressed one which has been already sold out.


One more song to pimp him: MAZAKON(mother complex)

DETAIL from its information:

Talk Like Singing is the first-ever original Japanese musical to premiere in the U.S. This energetic and heartwarming comedy is a never-before-seen style of musical theater.

A unique young man named Tarlow knows only how to communicate through song and dance. Tarlow appears to go through life happily singing his thoughts, regardless of his mood, because of the four band members playing music in his mind. With the help of a speech therapist and psychologist, the singing voices inside his head are eliminated, and for the first time in his life Tarlow can speak without singing.

Talk Like Singing represents an incredible collaborative effort with direction, script and lyrics by the talented Koki Mitani, composition and music direction by Yasuharu Konishi, and lead performance role performed by Shingo Katori.

Playwright and director Koki Mitani has created Okepi! and Good Night Sleep Tight, carefully balancing theater and music. Koki Mitani is also one of the most successful filmmaker in Japan. His representative works, Welcome Back, Mr. McDonald and The Magic Hour were highly acclaimed both in Japan and internationally. Talk Like Singing is his latest endeavor. Musician, composer, DJ and founding member of Pizzicato Five, Yasuharu Konishi has been said to have been a worldwide leader in the pop music scene. After Pizzicato Five, Yasuharu began to compose songs for filmmakers and prominent artists. He has become active as a producer, and his song composed for Shingo Katori, “Shingo mama no oha Rock,” was a record-breaking hit. Shingo Katori is a member of SMAP (Sports Music Assemble People), a chart-topping Japanese idol group. Shingo Katori has acted in several television dramas, variety shows, and films, and has lent his voice to anime. More recently, Shingo can be found acting in Japanese theaters. In Talk Like Singing he makes his international stage debut with Jay Kabira, Keiko Horiuchi and Shinya Niiro.

Co-presented by Tokyo Broadcasting System and Kyodo Tokyo



If you are interested, see HERE to order the tickets.
I can't go there NYC, but if you are living in US or neighbor country, it's a great chance to see his performance, and actually its tickets are so surprisingly reasonable(or rather, CHEAP)!!

(x-posted to smap@dreamwidth)

Even if you have little interest in Shingo himself, still Koki Mitani is a good script writer and Yasuharu Konishi is a good composer.
Or, even just "watching a musical by the reasonable price" would be a good experience! :D
If you are there or your friend/family lives there, I recommend you to watch it.^^
(This will be held in Japan in 2010 and its tickets would be hard to get, comparing to this NYC shows)

His pen name is now 月影禅(Tsukikage Zen).
I Was o__o when I found this information, and according to the blog of the design company of his book, he has officially left Johnny's.
Good luck, and I will try to find your further information.

(Everything what he did pains me when I face on his works, but this is what I have to do. I interpret you, to explore your hidden emotion.)

This prosaic expression looks rare comparing to the other works written by him, I could see his politeness and honest inside..., maybe he's polite and honest, actually.
As usual to show my respect to his work, I tried to be careful not only at the interpretation but also the order of words, definitely it's impossible to express 100% of what he did, but still, I tried.

Good morning everyone!♥
It's sunny, hot, and humid in the land of far east!

saiikemen saiikemen saiikemen

Based upon the long running 2ch tournament "Saimoe", and its international incarnations, the Sai-Ikemen Tournament is a fan voting contest where fans nominate their favorite male idols to go against each other in a series of voting rounds to see who reigns surpreme as the most popular, and, hottest ikemen of 2009.

This male version, and real life, version of the Saimoe contest will run a lot more simplistic than its Japanese counterpart to involve the less headaches and to have the most fun. Anyone who has an LJ account can vote for their favorite idols.

Join and have fun!!!

I'm nominating Massu. SUPPORT MASSU WITH YOUR LOVE!!

Surprisingly I've been translating nothing from magazines in these days!
But somehow I'm back, apparently.
I still love Nakamaru a lot as much as Massu(or more, not sure) but everything happening to me make me tired, but I'm here, at least!
