Shokura 2008.05.11 Thoughts and Caps

[mousapelli]

It's that time again. This time with even more Tottsu/Kitayama/Kawai/Fujigaya action (somebody PLEASE STOP ME from wanting this unit so hard).

I tried SO HARD to post this last night! But it wouldn't go! So here you finally are. As always, feel free to use the caps for anything you like.

Shokura 2008.05.11 Thoughts and Caps

Awww, Tottsu is an adorable announcer! I really liked this intro, because it was totally interesting.

I continue to be madly in love with Shoon in the red suit being a fake member of ABC. Seems like they picked a new guy to take Kamei's proto-place, Nozawa Yuki (beth says). Also of note are the red guys and the blue guys, otherwise known as Shintarou's proto-unit and Ookawa's proto-unit respectively.



did anybody else laugh when Tottsu just says "ANDERSON." Also, the only person who doesn't get introed? Poor Tottsu himself.

Kitayama's dance WHAT THE HELL. But, I want this unit like you would not believe. I WANT IT. YES. It isn't like JE isn't going to break our hearts anyway, guys! Let's at least get the combo of people which is hot like the burning fire. WHO IS WITH ME?



Who on earth is getting Nakamaru those sweaters? I have a bad feeling the answer is Nakamaru himself, and perhaps he is taking this whole academic thing too far.

Ookawa's group sounds good, but they all look sort of tiny and dorky, lol. TOTTSU. SINGING SAYENDOU. god, I thought that was amazing. Has he always been able to sing like that? And Fujigaya's chunk of the medley = also hilarious. This is totally the best medley ever. JESUS KITAYAMA KIZUNA. BREAK MY HEART, YO. When did they all grow up and get so awesome like this?!! And Kawai can always be counted on for the faithfully rendered senpai dance. ♥



But let me show you the exact moment when my heart burst into tiny little pieces:



YES YOU DO SHOON. AND BY FRIEND I MEAN UNIT. Join ABC! You already have the suit! It would be a shame to waste it! D: D: D: But in all seriousness, this was an awesome medley, the best I've seen in ages.

This Sho kid is the tiniest jr ever, seriously. And how cute is it that Taiga and that other kid name each other as their best friends? Even Koyama is like "KAWAII NA."



This Hasshi/Sanada/Nozawa thing is totally working for me. Not that Hasshi has done anything in like six months that HASN'T worked for me. GOD HE'S SO CUTE. baby jin ;_; you have stolen my dignity (but i have it on authority that in person Hasshi is ridiculously hot). GENKAI DA!!!!!



To be totally honest, I am not sure what bugs me exactly about Camu Cade, but he always irritates me. Kousaka's kind of growing on me, but good lord, who told that violin kid to sing? BAD CALL YO. Just play, sweetie, you're cute enough. Yikes.

this whole Julia thing is a totally odd combination, and what in the world is going on with those purple suits? I'm gonna have to say no to this whole thing.



I have to admit that I was totally excited for this game ever since I saw the title. TELEPATHY BATTLE. And I do indeed love when they pick on Koyama XD But I had trouble following what was going on. although I did get that they asked what kind of animal Nakamaru is like? And Shoon has been randomly hilarious lately.

The gesture battle had me cracking up, though, especially Kawai's irritated mail-sending face when his idiot team couldn't guess it. Also, Taipi's KAMENASHI-KUN impression killed me, if only because his team guessed it immediately.



Kansai jrs! Aww, I have no idea who any of you are, but the charm point discussions are always adorable. Pointy ears! And whoever is yelling "KAWAIIIII" in the background at the dimple kid is totally my favorite. These kids seem like a fun bunch, they're all rowdy and poking fun at each other. Too bad the Kansai show airs at like 1 am or something so nobody ever uploads it.

But jesus, this segment lasts forever. 7 minutes of jr ni q = way too long.

Awww, Koyama talking about Shige being his best friend, and then bringing up Pi too. Kawaii na~

Yamada's setup is kind of odd, but I love his low voice, and I like this solo a lot better than Perfume. He's gonna turn out like a little Tegoshi, damn him. And am I crazy or is Chinen's voice dropping? I have my fingers crossed for him to survive his voice change, because it's going to be quite a shock.



Hey! Say! Post is all well and good, but it ain't no White Goat Black Goat if you see what I'm saying. Yuto seems rather unaware that Okamoto is entranced by the back of his neck. PS, somebody else sounds like their voice is dropping as well, and is losing the babyfat out of their cheeks~ I personally think that Ryutarou is the one we should all beware of. IT'S ALWAYS THE QUIET ONES.



So they're talking about nicknames I think? And whatever story Okamoto is telling, Yuto is like "STOP STOP!" and then when Okamoto continues, giggling at Yuto's pain, Yuto turns to beat his head against the set. OKAMOTO IS MY FAVORITE. Yutarin~



Casey Anderson's random English rap totally makes me giggle, and also, somehow I got totally attached to Taiga? How puzzling. They are so the new Ya-Ya-yah. Sigh, my heart. Is this a new song? Do these guys have their own full-length song? FOR CHRISSAKE GIVE THE UNIT A NAME.



Best Friend totally makes me wibble, by the way. and in case that wasn't enough, HAVE HASSHI BEING SOULFUL.



THEY ARE UNITS. NAME THEM. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.



Heart. cannot. take it. ow.



Really, in all seriousness, I do not see the goal of not even having just temp groups. the MADE announcement went through forever ago, and still nothing on Shokura, even though it's almost certainly a temp unit. Ah well, maybe it's for the best. The longer we go without units, the less attached I'll be when those eventual units get broken up by debuts.

I'll just keep telling myself that. Meanwhile, by the time there is new Shounen Clubs next month, I'll be almost done with school! WOOHOO!!

dead, the moment I saw Hasshi I thought of you. clearly, it can't be too good if you are regularly associated with a fourteen-year old junior.

I WANT TO BE IN LOVE WITH THE ABC/KISUMAI UNIT BUT I WILL FEEL SO BROKEN IF THEY BREAK UP ABC OR KISUMAI.

did anybody else laugh when Tottsu just says "ANDERSON." Also, the only person who doesn't get introed? Poor Tottsu himself.
I LAUGHED adjghsjk tottsu, you have my heart.

I skipped over all the talk/game/niQ parts because I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON but I'm sure that if I did, I would be a puddle of melted cute too. T_T Hilarious though, Fujigaya's impression of Kame. Was that the episode of Utaban or something where he was on the pole?

Yuto is adorable! I never fully appreciated how adorable and easily flustered he is! Yuto! ♥! ...I am so easy. Clearly Okamoto is your favorite.

NEXT MONTH SEEMS SO FAR AWAY.

[silverrangel.livejournal.com]

I WILL BE TOTALLY FINE WITH THE ABC/KISUMAI UNIT IF THEY INCLUDE NIKAIDO. they can't leave him behind. :/

but i am so with you on the wtf?! of kitayama's dance! at first i thought maybe everyone in the enbujou unit was going to dance like a slut, BUT IT WAS ONLY HIM. SO AWKWARD.

also i think kitayama called koyama kawaii or something, because he said it with a really weird face and then koyama looked embarrassed. :x

[nicocoer.livejournal.com]

. . . I'm going to hell. I'm definitely going to hell.

Also, I agree with them just giving them names already. JEEZE.

[kegom.livejournal.com]

That kid in white is seriously tiny! O_o And here I thought no one could be tinier than Ryo or Chinen...


Say, where do you get the Shokuras? I was never really interested in them, but I happened to watch one on TV while I was in China and somehow, I'd like to have that one as a sort of "memory". ^^"

[bu-yao-ren.livejournal.com]

Tottsu. ♥
I'm glad they chose Nozawa to replace Kamei, he's adorable.

... and I caught myself thinking the same of the Kisumai/ABC unit. And Shoon. They have to include Shoon.
(I'm not asking for Yokoo ...)

Camu Cade's way of looking down and grinning like he's just about to get scolded is what irritates me.

Junior ni Q was 7 minutes? :o Didn't notice that at all. Kunta. ♥ :3 And I think the one who said "kawaii~" was Muro Ryouta.

[seca.livejournal.com]

I'm with you with the annoyance that Shoon hasn't been placed with a unit, I think he would fit in well with ABC too. And that they haven't announced actual unit names for at least the Hashimoto-trio and Taiga-trio as it's apparent that they are.

[marchechizen.livejournal.com]

Hasshi, Nozawa and Sanada's unit is named MADE, I think. :))

I love the caps. Stealing a few. :)

Looking forward to your next thoughts and caps.

[isaberuchan.livejournal.com]

HASSHI. Yay.

So much caps. XDDD; I agree with most of what you said. XDDD

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

Hasshi is my boy. It clearly spells disaster for him, but I root for him as hard as i can meanwhile. HASSHI, GANBATTE.

I would be sad as well over either of those units splitting, but while Kisumai i think maybe has the raw talent and the chemistry to debut as is, I don't see it in ABC. I think either they'll have to get split, or they'll be backdancers forever, like MA is.

Pole? rotfl I have no idea but it sounds hilarious. It could have been! I really wasn't sure at all what they were imitating, but everybody goes "KAMENASHI" right away, so...then again, i'm sure the jrs spend a good amount of their time imitating senpai for comedic effect, so, it's probably not weird at all.

Yuto is very easily flustered. He just doesn't have a lot of stage presence, and I wish he would work on that. He always looks so awkward.

OKAMOTO IS SO MY FAVORITE.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

I think, were there to be a unit, Senga would definitely be in since he gets solos too. I think Nikaido could pull it off if he worked really hard in the near future, but if it happened today, he probably wouldn't make the cut.

Kitayama's dance totally cracked me up.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

i want cute namesmashes!

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

he is the tiniest jr ever. is he like 8?! i think JE needs a height minimum.

I get mine either from hotakky (she has to friend you back), or you can just hang around the shokura comm, the episodes usually show up there after a day or two.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

I'm sad about Kamei, because i was just getting to like him, but Nozawa seems to be a good replacement. He's cute, and he fits in well vocally.

I totally want kis-my-abc-shoon. I want it bad. Like, even as a totally random temp unit. THEY COULD JUST HAVE A SINGLE. REALLY. SERIOUSLY.

it seemed like forever to me because i couldn't understand much of it at all besides which body part was their charm point. Blast you, sexy accents!

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

every time he appears with them, it feels so right! He's acrobatic, same height, same-ish age, and is about the same vocal level as them. COME ON YO.

I think the shintarou/taiga/anderson unit will be them plus some of those other little people that have been satelliting around, but I am convinced that MADE is totally temporary, or else is just set up as backdancers for the trio. They never seem to tool around with anybody else, certainly not as equals.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

well...sort of. I mean, they're IN that unit, I guess, but it's been ages since that got announced and it hasn't been in a magazine or a shokura yet, so I'm not sure how serious that was, or if it was just a spring dance thing, or what. Also there's some rumor going around that the other guys are just like back-dancers for hasshi/sanada/(I guess now) nozawa.

Who knows. I wish they'd just announce something on Shokura.

thanks! It's fun, and it helps me learn the new people.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

IAWTC.

thanks! The caps are fun.

[procreational.livejournal.com]

you must get lucky sometimes. :') I THINK HASSHI CAN DO IT. he'll break your curse! or something.

Yeah I agree, but ABC has such personalities! God, why can't they just make a super Kisumai/ABC group or something without leaving anyone out. :(

ajdkhgksj Kame pole danced on this one episode on Utaban or something, so that's what I thought of when I saw Fujigaya. THE GAME WAS SO FIXED...it took them such a long time to guess Kawai's and...the following.

I think he's getting better, though! :(( Maybe I am just biased, but he was so cute, especially under the taunt of your TERRIBLE FAVORITE, OKAMOTO.

Chinen's always adorable though. I HOPE HIS VOICE SURVIVES PUBERTY.

hi mousapelli, i came across your post on coat west-hikaru/sho-luxe 4, and sadly i do not understand japanese so i was wondering if you could tell me if you know where there are subtitled luxe vids? it's killing me not knowing what they're saying, especially in the bloopers! thanks very much :)

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

actually, they don't really exist, although if you scroll through the harenchibox comm, somebody has randomly written out a translations of a couple random scenes.

The only coat west thing I've ever seen subbed is the very last chunk of of Hikaru/Sho in ELoS 3.

I don't blame anybody for not subbing them though, I find them routinely impossible to understand because of a combination of bad sound and osakaben.

[(Anonymous)]

what happened to the rest of ABC/KISUMAI ??????

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

I dunno how you're supposed to see this answer since you're anon, but everybody else is in Osaka, doing Dream Boys. Only Kitayama/Fujigaya/Tottsu/Kawai are left in Tokyo, doing Enjoubu with Tackey.

They'll be back next shokura, the shows are all over.

[http://users.livejournal.com/amaelamin_/]

thanks for replying :)

[luna-silverwolf.livejournal.com]

Umm... Can I ask you where you downloaded this episode? Cause I really really need to watch it!

Keito is my fav too!!!!!!!!!
