Feb. 5th, 2008 04:01 pmHey, NEWS, what's with the unstoppable production of flawless, polished pop songs?! That goes completely against Johnnys' usual policy! XD First they put out what's actually an excellent pop album, then Taiyou no Namida is also suspiciously good - and I'm able to say this objectively, as a person who has no particular vested interest in either NEWS or pure pop music! Man, I'm so happy for NEWS though - I feel they've rather been overshadowed, even since their return, and although I can't say I'm *un*happy it was K8 and their monopolising of Ryo that caused that for much of 2007, I still think they deserve a break, really - I just think they've worked quite hard to become a band and get over their setbacks. Rather than just having money thrown at them. *cough* (Of course, this brought on by NEWS' new PV - the ending of which really does nothing to disprove the theory that Yamapi is just drunk, all the time. XD)
Was also actually quite excited to hear about Arashi's new prime-time TV show! One of these days I'll start downloading Arashi's TV shows... and the space on my external HDD will be gone like *that*.
Pancake Day today! :D Hooray! Now I need to go buy flour, milk and toppings, then practice my talk for tomorrow. Eeeek. (We have to do a 'panel discussion' between the four of us, with an audience that will probably consist of our lecturers and a few other assorted academics. We have to talk about a resource then ask each other practiced questions. I'm alternating between being 'OK, I'm prepared!' and 'ARGH WHAT IF I FORGET EVERYTHING OR GET IT IN THE WRONG ORDER OR GET LOST IN MY NOTES OR SAY 'MOBOOK PRAYERHAWK' INSTEAD OF 'MOHAWK PRAYERBOOK'??' ^^;;)
[Edit] Also, you may well have seen this pic around your friends list already, but it's just way too adorable! Actually, somehow I reckon K-T fans won't be squealing over this in the same way K8 fans are, haha, but that's their loss! (And for the record, I got the pic via
boneprincess88 and
bakabanri... who got it from
za_riel, who I'm too shy to friend cos I don't want to seem like a user by only friending people for their uploads. :/
