[2010.07.21] Happy 13th Anniversary for KinKi Kids' Album Debut

Today is the 13th anniversary of KinKi Kids' album debut!  おめでとう Omedeto!

No time to prepare anything special, so I've decided to just collate some of the blog headers I have done up over the last 2 years!  I think there's more but I don't know which folder I've saved them into......My KinKi Kids' archive is already using nearly 70% of my 1 TG portable hark disk!

And last but not least, some photos of our super cute KinKi Kids during their junior days!  

Tsuyoshi with his kawaii monkey imitation and Koichi with his I don't know what to imitate look!  Hahahahaha!

And this is a hilarious photo of them impersonating as ugly girls!  It never fails to make me laugh!

[Fan Vid]: Koichi the Artist!

[2010.03.09] Endless Shock 2010 ML: Koichi is amazing!

Even though the quality of the MLs may be a bit blur, but even then, Koichi is so amazing and so カﾂコイ (cool)!  Everytime I watch Endless Shock, I find myself falling once again in love with him.  I remember the first time I saw Koichi, it was on a Taiwanese entertainment news variety show, and they showed Koichi in the Romeo blue costume, as well as scenes of him flying through the sky.  The first thought that came into my mind was that he really looked like a very beautiful fairy prince!  Beautiful and yet so manly!  At 31 years old, he is still beautiful and more man!  Koichi, ganbatte!

Opening

あなたを想って


空を見上げています


English Translation:

Thinking of you

Whilst looking up at the sky right now



Fufufufufu!  Tsuyoshi, who are you thinking of?  Anata is us or him??? This is the 2nd LF message in July.  Wahahahaha!  In case you are wondering why I am laughing hysterically, trust me, there is a reason.  Please read my earlier 2 Jul LF post - Somewhere Out There!.

Endless Shock 10th Anniversary and 100 Shows! 2nd Leg Begins!

Source:  http://www.tohostage.com/shock/index.html

The 2nd leg of Koichi's 10th Anniversary 100 Shows Endless Shock begins on 4 July 2010, and the last show will be on 31 July 2010.  Heard fans saying there were changes to the Endless Shock official website and went in to see, but Koichi's photo still the same; only change is the background......

Anyway, this time round, the 2nd male lead has been changed from Yara to Hiroki Uchi.  I know there has been some negative feedback amongst fans.  But whatever it may be, the decision is made and he is in.  So hopefully, this new actor will be able to perform well and add a new element to the performance.  Again, I pray that Koichi will have a good performance and not suffer any injuries.

My friend will be flying off to Tokyo this week and she will be trying to get ticket to watch Endless Shock!  Ahhh...so envious!  Well, never mind, I am reserving my Japan trip for KK concert end of this year (they better come out with their K Album and K concert!).  I have asked my friend to help me get Koichi's Endless Shock photo book - Document 2010.02.14 - 3.30.  Yippee!!!

Tsuyoshi's Love Fighter 2010.07.02: Somewhere Out There!

みんなはどうしてるかな。


僕は空を見上げています。
いつもありがとう。


大好きだよ。


English Translation:

How is everybody?

I am now looking up at the sky
Ever thankful always

I love you all!



Hahahaha! I once read on a KKF's blog that whenever Shock is on, Tsuyoshi's Love Fighter becomes also more frequent!  During Shock performance period, it is very likely that the two of them don't see each other much, so is this their "secret" way of love letter?!  Fufufufu!  This first Love Fighter message comes 2 days before the opening performance of Endless Shock on 4 Jul.  Has Tsuyoshi already started missing Koichi? Well, the last sentence of this LF message in Japanese does not have a subject; hence, it can also be translated to simply be "I love you"!  Heehee!  So it can be a message to all the fans, and also at the same time, Tsuyoshi's "secret" love message for Koichi.  As I read this short but very sweet LF message, the song "Somewhere Out There" immediately pops into my head, and this image pops into my head - in the first scene, we have Tsuyoshi looking up into the sky, and the next scene, Koichi at the Imperial Theatre also looking up into the sky!  Lyrics go something like this:

Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight

Finally, something is moving on the KinKi Kids' scene!  Tsuyoshi is releasing his Yakushiji Live DVD on 30 June 2010.  It's been sooooooooooo long since there's been any new release from KinKi Kids, Tsuyoshi or Koichi! Last year, I was still complaining that there's too much solo and so little KinKi Kids; this year, I'm just grateful that there's a music release in any form so long as it involves either of them!  Orz...... See how well trained we KKF have become.

Below is a summary table showing the differences between Limited and Regular Editions.  I can never understand why it always seems so complicated to differentiate between the two editions... Anyway, I was still hesitating whether to order Limited or Regular edition (cuz I will usually buy one under the Jap version and the other one under the HK/TW version with Chinese subtitles) but before I know it, the Limited edition is already sold out on YesAsia!  Arghhhhhh!  So I quickly placed my order with CD Japan, which is more expensive by nearly S$20!!! Orz....

Happy 31st Birthday, Tsuyoshi!

Happy 31st Birthday, Tsuyoshi!

Today, I went out with 2 friends (who are both KinKi Kids' fans) to celebrate Tsuyoshi's 31st birthday, as well as one of my friend's belated birthday for her last teenage year!  This is the 2nd time we are celebrating Tsuyoshi's birthday together, but I forgot to get a birthday cake last year.  Orz.... So this year, I wouldn't dare to forget again.  And below is the Sankaku birthday cake!  Cute, right?! Fufufu!  Happy Birthday to Tsuyoshi and [you know who you are]!  Thank you once again to both my friends for helping me sort out my KinKi Kids' photos!  I really enjoyed myself today and hope to celebrate more birthdays of Koichi and Tsuyoshi with both of you!
