indeed.

lol. sometimes I can remember, but I usually tend to forget that I have other icons. he does. he looks very Christmas-y there.

[virtuoussin85.livejournal.com]

That's the look I was going for. I figure I should be in the holiday spirit. So from now until the end of Christmas. Santa!Kitayama is going to be around. Then I'm going to have to find another one lol.

By the way Santa I've been a good girl this year, what do I get? ::tries to look innocent::

[mstzanicki.livejournal.com]

awesome. Santa!Kitayama is the cutest Santa I've ever seen. I'm sure you'll be able to find something, there's plenty of stuff floating around, even if it's just a screen capture *points to icon*

lulz *starts singing Santa Baby*

[virtuoussin85.livejournal.com]

He is! I love him! I love him anyways, but dressing up as Santa is so cute! And I know I will, it's just a matter of looking.

And your Ueda icon is adorable!

I draw the line at Christmas carols though. It's still too early for that. I'm so bad when it comes to that. I can't stand them. Though I guess if some other people were singing them I wouldn't mind too much lol.

[mstzanicki.livejournal.com]

yes. I'm glad he didn't fully dress up though, cause it would've been a shame if he had the beard blocking his face.

thank you. I love his smile, so when I saw it in that scene, I took a picture of it.

I don't consider "Santa Baby" a Christmas carol. it just popped into my head when I read that last sentence. I don't like it when radio stations start playing Christmas songs before Thanksgiving/before December. people should let Thanksgiving pass before thinking about Christmas really.

[virtuoussin85.livejournal.com]

Ohh! I didn't even think of that! Yeah, I'm real grateful for that too. That would not have been cool.

Yeah, Ueda does have a really nice smile.

That's true, it's really not, but I guess I used the wrong word. I don't really like Christmas music in general. Until like Christmas Eve and Christmas. I'm already sick of Christmas music, from hearing it 8 hours a day all day at work since Thanksgiving. And there's still two more weeks to go! I'm going to go insane.

[mstzanicki.livejournal.com]

it wouldn't have especially since he has such an adorable face. and his smile is really nice.

I wouldn't like Christmas music either in that case. is it possible for you to use earphones to listen to something else while you're at work? I admit that I'm guilty in listening to Christmas music for the past week, not everyday though. One of my other friends on here linked me to a compilation album of Christmas songs by various Japanese artists.

[virtuoussin85.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I can, I mean, when I'm not in the middle of serving a meal, and I'm just doing other work I can, and I usually do. I can't stand the radio. It plays the same songs all day long in general, it's worse now with the Christmas stuff.

I have to say though, that I downloaded Shintaro's Snow Prince CD, and they have this Christmas melody in it, and it's kinda cute. I don't mind it so much, but then again, I think it's cause it's Shintaro and them.

[mstzanicki.livejournal.com]

ok, that's good. I can't stand the radio. right now the only reason I don't listen to my iPod in the car is because my mom got me a subscription to satellite, but it's going to expire soon and I don't want to renew it. after it does, I'm plugging my iPod in. I got tired of listening to so many songs cause of how overplayed they are on the radio.

I should give that a listen. Shintaro is adorable.

[virtuoussin85.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know the feeling. When I do find a song that I like that's on the radio, by the end of the week, I no longer like it because I've heard it so many times. I'm like that with all music too, not just the American music I have to listen to at work.

I wish my iPod hooked up nicely with my car, but they don't seem to play well together. They can, but it's just not a good quality audio sound, so I rather make CDs and listen to them. I can make MP3 CDs for the car, and with a 6 CD changer, that's quite a bit of music.

Though I'm thinking I need to make a new one. I just made Playzone rips, and I definitely want to be able to listen to that in the car. But my CD burner doesn't work on my computer, so I have to use my Dad's computer to make the CDs, not that it's a problem, but still can be a pain sometimes.

You definitely should. But then again, I've been like loving on him and his little choir for a while now, from watching them on Shokura. I love Bitter Moon. I think that's more why I wanted it in the first place, but it's a nice little CD overall anyway. I put both the RE and LE in one file for a friend, so I'll give you the link too. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4JNW61TE

[mstzanicki.livejournal.com]

same. but at least for non-American music, I don't hear the same song played 5 times on the radio everyday. so I don't get tired of those songs as easily.

oh. I did that too at first cause I didn't have the connector for it. I started running out of CDs though, so I brought my lazy self to the store and bought a connector. that is a lot of music, makes for a less boring car ride.

you should. I haven't watched Playzone, but I hear it's enjoyable. at least you can still burn CDs even though it's somewhat tedious.

you're not my first friend to say they love Bitter Moon, I think I really should listen to the CD now then. thank you.

[virtuoussin85.livejournal.com]

Lucky!

If I had anywhere to connect it to, I would, but the only thing I can really do is with like the iTrip connecting it through the radio, and it's not really all that great.

I'm obsessed with Playzone at the moment. It's like my thing, I'm just in love with it. It has like all my favorite people in it at the moment, so that doesn't hurt. I would definitely recommend it.

You should. It's good. Usually I'm a bit hesitant when it comes to the really young ones, I mean there are 8 and 9 year olds in that group! But they're really good. I have to say, I'm really impressed with them.

[mstzanicki.livejournal.com]

yeah. but I don't have any money to pay for it anymore, so I'm going to really on my iPod.

oh. your car doesn't have an AUX outlet, that sucks. my sister has to do the same thing with her car. so she just keeps to the CDs.

lol. that's good. I'll go searching through the JE Index for it.

yeah, I usually don't listen to any group that has really young members, it just seems so wrong to me. but I'll definitely give them a listen.

[virtuoussin85.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's a bit more of a hassle to keep up with new music on CDs, but for me it's worth it to have a better sound. My next car will have all that fancy stuff, so I don't have to worry about it.

Yeah, I'm the same way, though I can't help but like Mis Snow Man as well. They're really talented I think. But it feels so weird. It's like there's quite an age gap between them and I me. Which is why I tend to stay towards the older groups.

Then..... on the other hand, when I start liking the older debuted groups it's kinda weird too. Like, liking KinKi Kids, or especially SMAP. They be a lot older than me.

[mstzanicki.livejournal.com]

true. I'd prefer using CDs to have a better sound, then mp3 with lousy sound. new cars are always fun, but a pain to pay for.

Mis Snow Man? notice how out of the loop I am with younger groups? I feel weird even just liking HSJ since 7 is all under 18....

they're a lot older to me too, but KinKi Kids and SMAP are fun to watch. so is TOKIO.

[mstzanicki.livejournal.com]

*they're a lot older than me too

*headdesk* I can't type, this is what happens when I'm doing an essay and my family bugs me while doing it.

[virtuoussin85.livejournal.com]

OH god yes, I'm still paying for mine now, and I got it in 06. ::sigh:: It feels like I'll never finish.

Yeah, umm, they have Sanada and Nozawa, the ones that used to be with Hasshi before he got put into ABC. And let's not discuss 7, I'm still dealing with like BEST. Who are all just now 18, thanks Daiki for being younger than the rest. But at least Yabu's like a month away from being 20. That makes me feel slightly better.

Oh god, how can I forget about TOKIO. Yes, they are so much fun!

[mstzanicki.livejournal.com]

yeah, I'm not going to be finishing my car payments until 2014. whenever I get the bill for it, I wish I had enough money to fully pay the whole thing off and then I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.

oh, ok. I knew Daiki was the youngest among BEST, but I didn't know he just turned 18 this year.... yes, thank god for Yabu.

that's fine. they really are, I love them. as far as the Senpai groups TOKIO and SMAP are tied as my favorite.

[virtuoussin85.livejournal.com]

Wow, I'm grateful, I don't have to keep going for that long. I think I finish mine in 2012. I think, I'm not good with math anymore. I used to be, way back when I was in school.

Yeah, he did, sadly. Which is why I lean towards Yabu and Takaki, why do I like all the idiots?! Them being the two oldest. But I still love Hikaru too, and lately, I've kinda been noticing Inoo too, but I mean, I don't really pay a lot of attention to JUMP as a whole anyway, and there are 10 of them, there's too many to keep track of. I only really know of the ones I've seen in dramas. But I liked Yabu and Hikaru before seeing them in dramas this year, but that's how I came to like Takaki, thank you Gokusen 3. And B.A.D. too, but they're not quite as young. Thank god, but looking at them I think they are. Mind you only a couple years younger than they are, but still.

I think mine would have to be KinKi Kids and SMAP tied. I'm almost starting to consider Arashi a more senpai group now. I mean they've been around for 10 years. I realize that's nothing compared to the others. But it's still an amazing accomplishment!

[mstzanicki.livejournal.com]

being out of school for a while will do that to someone. but it sounds about right, if you're paying around the same amount I am, since you got your car two years before I did.

I like all the idiots too, it's ok. we're drawn to them because they're idiots and they're adorable idiots. I never really liked or disliked Hikaru, but now thanks to Orthros no Inu, I like him. he makes a hot badass. ok, maybe I'm too superficial here, but there's nothing I can do about it really. I love B.A.D. they're so cute.

I somehow can't bring myself to consider Arashi a senpai group although they've been around for 10 years. we'll see once a new group is actually debuted. it is an amazing accomplishment and I'm happy they've been together this long.

[virtuoussin85.livejournal.com]

I hate to think that I've graduated high school so long ago, I graduated in 2003, and I didn't go to college, and I really don't have that much to show for it. And it's kinda sad that I've been working at the same job now for 4 years. And that's not going anywhere either. But enough of that!

That must be what it is. Why do they all have that quality to them? I wonder. It must just be like innate or something. Hikaru was awesome in Orthros no Inu. That only made me love him even more. Oh god, I totally think that Hikaru's Orthros character and Yabu's Ninkyo Helper character should meet. It would be awesome.

I really want a new group to debut. And I may be biased on which ones I would like to see, but hell, I'll take anybody at this point, because it's been two years since anybody's debuted, and I feel like we're not doing much with JUMP, they don't even have an album released yet! What's up with that? I feel it's really odd.

But about Arashi, I kinda feel like they're in the middle. They're not quite senpai like KinKi and everyone else, but they're not in the same group as NEWS, KAT-TUN, Kanjani8 and JUMP, I mean T&T are kinda like their own thing too, especially now, since it's more like Tackey and Tsubasa then Tackey & Tsubasa if you get what I mean. Maybe Arashi is just that bridge that connects the two.... oh god, I need to stop watching Playzone. I've watched it like three times in the last two days. And yeah, the whole bridge thing.

[mstzanicki.livejournal.com]

I graduated in '05 and it took me three years to figure out that nursing was the best field for me to go into. it took me an extra year to get all the pre-reqs done for it. at least you have a job.

it just lets us know that they're not perfect and we all like it when we can somehow relate to our idols. it was hard to not just stare and drool whenever I watched Orthros no Inu. the combination of the three boys was just a;sldfkjasdl;f lol, that would make for an interesting time.

I don't understand why JUMP hasn't had a CD yet, it's really not cool. they need some love, big time. I have some biases too as to who should debut, I really want for it to be one of the older junior groups.

I kind of group KinKi, Arashi, and T&T (though they're not really T&T anymore. don't worry, I got what you meant) together. but yeah, they're kind of in the middle. I don't really know what to consider them. when you like something, you like something. when I first got KAT-TUNs BtR, it was the only thing I listened to for about two days.

[virtuoussin85.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's true, I should be grateful that I do have one. Considering everything. It's kinda funny, because I thought that I wanted to be a nurse. Follow in my Nana's and Dad's footsteps, my Nana is a nurse, and my Dad is a paramedic, but I went and became a CNA, and only worked as one for like a month. I couldn't handle it emotionally. I was working in a nursing home, so it's different. Ironically I'm still working there, just in dietary instead. Not as much patient contact. I only like really working with them when they're healthy.

Oh god, let's definitely not talk about the combo of Ryo and Tackey! God! That was hot! I really did just spend half my time staring and oogling and going uh huh mindlessly. I vote for more!

I would really love to have a JUMP CD too. I mean, they had what 5 concerts this year? And 7 had one on their own too right? With all that going on, how do they not have one? This is one of my biggest complaints that Johnny needs to either do something else with JUMP or move on to the next group. And I agree, I definitely want it to be one of the older junior groups. I vote for Kisumai or ABCZ first, but I'd be just as happy as with like Question? or something. What about you? Who did you have in mind?

I feel kinda bad for them, but not really. I mean, at least they are popular and what not, even more so now with their 10 year and all. But why can't T&T do their solo and group activities? I mean KinKi's been pulling it off for years! We get solo cons, solo CDs etc etc, and still stuff as KinKi.

I remember when I got my BtR CD too. I'm pretty sure that's all I listened to for days. I'm so bad, I do that with everything I like though. I get hooked on something, and then I just want it and want it and want it till I get like sick of it, or the next interesting thing comes along.

[mstzanicki.livejournal.com]

oh wow. I don't want to be a CNA, they get treated the worst among the nurses, I believe. I'm going to try and get certified as a Nurse Anesthetist after I get my RN. lol, at least you have less contact with them now.

I'd like for more of that too. even with just the two of them, it was the hottest Johnny combination ever. more please?

exactly. I don't understand why JUMP hasn't gotten a CD yet? isn't it typical that when a group debuts, they get a CD debut too? I want one of those groups or even Five to debut. but I think it would be a bad idea to debut Five or Question? separately cause then Ishigaki would be part of a debuted band and an undebuted band...

IKR?! I want to know what happened to T&T, seriously. like you said, it's not entirely hard to be able to pull off doing solo stuff and group stuff. wth T&T?

lol. I'm the same. but for the most part, I don't get sick of Jpop songs, which might be a good thing, I don't know.

[virtuoussin85.livejournal.com]

I wish you the best of luck with all of that!

I dunno about the hottest EVER, but definitely one of. And there should be more of it for that reason alone.

See, I thought so too. Or at least shortly after debuting you got a CD. Hell, KAT-TUN debuted with both! A single and a CD so what gives? Yeah, I would feel so bad for Dai-chan, because I bet you, he would probably have to quit the other group. If one debuted. And I kinda feel that way about Kisumai and ABCZ too. I feel like if one debuts and not the other, that half of them are getting left behind. Not quite the same as with Question? and FiVE but still, a general principal.

I was having this conversation my friend last week when we were driving. Saying how it's unfortunate that T&T aren't together anymore, I mean, they still are, because there's been like no official statements or anything of them seperating, but they might as well be at this point. And I feel it's not fair to Tsubasa, don't get me wrong, I love Tsubasa, and I think he's amazing in his own right, but Tackey is the one that shines, and if it wasn't for Tackey, I don't think Tsubasa would be as famous as he is. Like I said, I don't mean for it to be an insult or anything, but look at how things are. Tackey's doing so well on his own, and Tsubasa, I mean yeah he's doing his own solo cons and stuff, but he's not getting solo CDs or starring in dramas or doing stage plays or wait, he did do one didn't he? I think. Now I'm confused. But the point being, I think they need to do some more together stuff. Enough with the solo or actually make them solo, not that I want that, but it's kinda not fair and odd to have them in this weird middle stage. It's like they were married, but now are separated and can't go through with the divorce.

Whenever I do, it's only temporary, I always go back. I just usually have to take a breather, but it's never for very long.
