* Because I'm an airhead, sometimes I save texture but forget to add the name of the LJ user who made them in the filename. So if you think that I miss crediting you in the list above, please notice me.

Heheh... I changed my layout again ^^.
Same css with last time so there wasn't much work need to be done, just edit a few code & color.

The texts for the header this time is from Forever lyric because I totally love the performance of this song in NEWS live Diamond DVD.
But unfortunately I ran out of time & idea for a new default icon so I decided to use this lovely icon made by yamap_oukoku.

Still, I think I'm going to miss the sight of Tego's smile on my header.

I watched Soukon ep 2 again XDDD.
Because I had always felt that there's something wrong or weird somewhere in the vid but I couldn't figure out.
And now I think I finally found out exactly what it is :P .

This screen is at 7m16s



This one is at 7m19s



And this is at 7m22s




The difference is so obvious, isn't it? LOL

* note: The timing is for HQ vid (1280 x 720)
And thank to newsnexexpress for subbing this.

I caught a slight cold. Clearly it's nothing serious but having running nose is sooo annoying, I can't count how many tissues I have used today TT____TT .

I still need to do some graphics for Tegorin's birthday but I can't concentrate at all 'cause the snivel keep bothering me.
I wish there was a medicine that can help me get well immediately >____< .

Otanjoubi Omedetou Boss-chan.
Of all the good things I want to wish for you, health gets to be the priority since you have to work in 2 units at the same time. Hope that this year, you won't catch any more illness.


( And my belated birthday gift )

YOU, who don't want spoiler of NEWS live Diamond DVD, please don't click. I don't want to be killed yet.

( It makes you go 'it's fine' )

This morning I received another package with the old NEWS singles I bought. When placing them on the shelf together with the other CDs, I realized that my collection has become not-so-small XDDD .

The first NEWS thing I bought is Never Ending Wonderful Story DVD, because it was released at the time when I finally got a VISA card & a Paypal account for my own use. But I didn't order it myself since I was pretty new with buying stuffs online, plus the LE was out-of-print everywhere and could not be pre-ordered anymore. So I asked an acquaintance who lives in JP to help me get it.

After the 1st, my collection started growing like an inevitable matter.

These are NEWS/Tegomass CDs and DVDs I got till December 2008.



( And now... )

with Utube & LJ (or maybe it's only my own LJ).

When there's a post with a Utube vid embeded, the vid appears in my f-page & the actual vid in the source LJ are different.
Like when faith_alive posted the itteQ clip of Tego & armadillo, the one showed up in my f-page is... a clip of some Suju boys =.= . But because the title of her post is clearly "Tego & Armadillo", I got curious & went to her LJ then I realized it's a total different Utube vid there. Still, back in my LJ, it's the Suju boys' one.
It happened again today. There's a post titled "Kyu Jo Show!! CM" from K8 comm in my f-page but the clip appear to be a Ryo fanvid. I went to K8 comm & the post actually contains the CM clip. BUT the one showing in my f-page is still the Ryo fanvid.
No change happened even with countless time of pressing F5. The vid (in my f-page) is changed only when I actually close the browser & start it again.

It's no big deal but...
Why?! I don't understand O.O

Maa... I'm one step closer to become an old lady LOL .

Other than that, I don't feel anything special on this birthday.
Maybe because I won't get a birthday party on my birthday, Friday is a working day & my friends are all busy.

Still I'm happy that a close friend of mine called me all the way from Japan to wish me happy birthday ^^ . Actually he didn't say the "happy birthday" words, he just went around the topic asking how I feel & what I want to do when becoming one year older. But that's how he is, acting like he doesn't care but in fact he just doesn't like to show affection directly :P .
Thanks a lot buddy!!! It's nice knowing that going to Japan hadn't changed you even just a bit, also that you still think about me, your close friend, even though you managed to find yourself a girlfriend in Japan. Though that doesn't mean I let you off with the present matter XDDD . You'd better bring back something NICE for me when you come back from Japan next year.

I suddenly remember a jweb post of Tegoshi.

I definitely don't want to lose the child's heart in me.

Therefore, in future I will work hard to become a splendid adult with a child's heart!

Those were what he wrote.
I don't want to lose my child's heart either even if I'm an adult (I've been an adult for the exact 2 years for now actually). Because I think if a heart can preserve its childlike part, you can see the days pass by with less worry & you can enjoy many simple happiness of this life in a fuller way.

My wish for birthday is for Dream Boys 2009 to be released on DVD since people said there has been no camera filming in all of the past shows.

And new default icon too.

As for the header, I'm still wondering why it turned out like that. It's not my usual style & definitely not what I originally wanted when I started working on it - I had wanted something simple & clean (in order to match my new default icon), not something sparkling & colorful.
Guess that the kirakira-ness of a particular someone had managed to take effects on me even without my acknowledge.

Still, I'm satisfied with the texts, they're from lyric of 「 Sono egao boku ni misete 」 & they match well with Tego's pic ^^ .
Though I had to change "boku" to "watashi" since I'm a girl :P .

... at how clear Tegoshi's eyes are.





I was going through my picture folders trying to find something to use for a new header.
But before I actually found what I want, I was caught at one picture. It's from one of Duet 2007 issues & it's a close-up of his face. His eyes are so clear that made the reflection in them so distinct (I can even see the camera's tripod O.o . Wonder if he wore contact here? :/ )
Maybe that's what caused Shige to feel awkward when he was taking that shot with Tego. Because personally I think when you can clearly see your own reflection in a pair of clear eyes (plus, they were also shiny at that moment), it feels like part of you is looking at yourself & that would make you (a bit) uneasy.
(I also think it's hard to lie to someone with such clear eyes. This kind of eyes can make you spill the truth after just a long stare.)



* Seems like I have yet to get over that Shige's jweb post XD . It still pops up between my thoughts now and then.

Could it be that the picture above is the infamous shot which Shige mentioned in his jweb (translation here) ?
Haven't read the text besides to find out if it's actually is 'cause I'm still in Kanji-fed-up mood after all those Dream Boys reports.
I decided to put it here so I won't get lazy & give up reading forget reading it later :P .

THIS

He looks too much like a housewife.

Still ROFL...

... this kind of cover.



The covers of Never Ending Wonderful Story & NEWS Pacific DVD are soooo cute & interesting, but these are NOT cute at all >___< .
They make me think of old-fashioned science fiction movie. The "diamond" looks too fake. And why didn't they use the "NEWS" in Winter Party Diamond logo? Clearly the font in that logo is 10,000x no 1,000,000x more elegant.
I bet most of us fangirls can do a much better job if we got to design the covers. JE's designers FAILED.

I knew it, papa Johnny wouldn't be that stupid to not releasing this concert on DVD.

I guess the DVD took such a long time to be released because there's not only the live & the documentary of the tour BUT there will also be Original Music Videos included in it \(^__^)/ .

An original music video for AI NANTE & it's TEGO's solo. OMG, I'm sooooooooooooooo happy, this is truly a DREAM COME TRUE.

Such a rare chance that I can spend money willingly & happily like this :P .

... shiny eyes *___* .

This makes me keep smiling like an idiot. I swear I'm not into any pairing but it's just... TOO CUTE.
Tegoshi is definitely a prince since it's Shige who said so & Shige is smart, he totally knows what he's talking about.
I'm definitely looking forward to that one photoshoot hohoho XD .

According to this post
In yesterday's show, at the scene when Yuuya meets with Kazuya, as Tego came out, he sang Sen no Kaze ni Natte XD .
He sang it in Hawaii, he sang it in Hey! Hey! Hey! & now he sang it in Dream Boys too. He must be obsessed with that song LOL .

A few unofficial photos of the Dream Boys trio has just been posted on Y! Auction JPN ^^.

( Pictures under cut )

... Tego call Kame "Ka~zuya~~"

I'm in let-hunt-DBs-reports mood ever since the musical started.
So sad that only JPN reports can be found at the moment while my JPN is only so-so which means reading them take a lot of time.
Still, what the JPN fangirls wrote seriously makes me want to go watch DBs more than ever.

After reading quite a few reports now, I can totally understand what Tego means when he said he's only playing himself in DBs LOL .
Because all the fangirls used "kawaii" to talk about him at least once in every reports. Tego being himself clearly equals being cute, right? XD
Really, the way those fangirls described how he calls Kame is just too cute: カ～ズヤッ ♪ . Imagining him saying this with a sing-song voice makes me chuckle to myself :"> .
I wonder if Tego uses his soft dreamy tone instead to say it, would it be able to give Kame a shiver? :P
