small obsession


after i watched Kisaragi movie for 3 times.. i'm already little bit 'obsessed' with it?! but really, i like it!! a brilliant funny movie. starting with several awkward moments, slowly it became interesting. suddenly, the flow kept changing unexpectedly which turned myself sitting straightly and paid attention to every details till the end. i really adore how they idolized kisaragi miki (the D-list idol who cannot sing and act) heart fully without doubt. all of them are really cute especially oguri shun and koide keisuke! and yusuke santamaria's character as oda yuji.. hikhikhik [yusuke and oda were acting together in bayside shakedown series].

this is totally about fandom, which blends the comedy + classic mystery genres into a masterpiece that we can enjoy smoothly. the script was great - the characters' roles were well-balanced with the idea of using one room as the setting with just five people. to have all the casts wearing black suits [for the memorial service] make them more stylish and emphasize that Kisaragi was not a typical movie.

........................
talking about fandom...
recalled back how smap idolized michael jackson since they were kids. when they were still newly-formed as smap, they talked about this in magazines and interviews. they even did MJ skits (Oshinobi Michael) in their old concerts and smasma variety show. the young smap were so happy watching MJ's performance at Tokyo Dome and they said one day, they would do their performance there too. totally inspired by him.

times passed by... smap become a high brand name and they already created their own history. one fine day, in year 2006, MJ did a special surprise by coming to the studio where smap were in the middle of rehearsal for smasma music performance. we already saw how they almost lost their mind, totally speechless to see their idol. i can say that it was totally a lifetime meeting! they didn't realized that MJ was quietly watching their performance. seems that he was really enjoying it. MJ was very impressed with the background setting which using a new technology of LED screen. after that, those passionate fans started introducing themselves. goro did impersonation and it was well-received by MJ. they got the shake-hands and autograph signatures. already SATISFIED? :)

in october 2009, nakai-kun went to los angeles for MJ's This Is It movie world premiere red carpet event as the sole representative of Japan. end of last year 2009, in the 60th Kouhaku Uta Gassen (annual end-year music show produced by NHK channel which a battle between Red female team and White male team). smap did a special stage performance as a tribute to the late MJ.

i'm holding my tears watching the tribute.. yokatta ne. it's like a magic dream for them to perform something like this. they idolized MJ since kids. kimura did a good job [almost perfect] for Billy Jean and the moonwalker. nanka, his hat reminds me of his hat when he did Hero 2007 promo with matsu. i was laughing hard when i heard the intro of Thriller. kyaa~ nakai's kisu song! i sooo can imagine nakai going to gabu gabu with nakama... mwahaha. if he turn on this song, what kind of expression that nakama would give? Thriller done by shingo and tsuyoshi.. i was screaming inside, "rena! did you see your best friend and boy friend just now?" .. followed by Bad music.. hora, goro-chan is coming! to tell you the truth, i'm smap ichiban.. but when it comes to music performance, it's my BIG pleasure to watch goro dancing and nakai singing. goro is suitable for Bad dance. same like his skit, isn't it. he's not alone there.. kimura was with him.. doing the fight dance. hehehe, kimura-goro = matsu-miho = sakanoue NHK drama. zannen, abe was coming alone as the representative of the drama. but i'm almost sure matsu's family watched Kouhaku at home. miho is a big fan of kasuga (audrey).. she must already watched this too. nakai who is well-known as the best dancer among the members did Smooth Criminal part... demo, i felt it was short.. uwaa~ not enuff. i want more. more and more chocolate chipsmore. frankly, last year of Kouhaku was really fun. thanx to the chemistry of NakaNaka, our masters of ceremony... Tanoshi.. so much fun. i would treasure it for sure!
i'm MJ big fan too. still remember my late younger brother used to learn his dance. and we always sang songs while driving. emm, i do understand how smap feel.. coz they're same like us. here is the video clip of smap special tribute on that Kouhaku night. hope you'll enjoy it as much as i did.

I think Yoshiki does personally know MJ, though they did not hangout togther.

So you are beginning to like Yoshiki too? I like him too. He is a great musician. Pity, we seldom hear of him lately.

If I am not mistaken, he had a hand in the formation of the band Glay, didn't he?

So authorities have classified MJ's death as murder, huh? How tragic. If only he had not left his life in the hands of others.
RIP MJ.


Read that Disney Land Anaheim has plans to bring back Captain EO (futuristic hero). It's a short 3D film clip starring MJ (circa 1980s) for its theme park. Seen this clip when I was there in late 80s with my family. We had to use special 3D "glasses" to watch. Understand later, this film clip was taken off when he was facing child molestation scandal. Hope now by bringing this film back, MJ's name is vindicated.

i think so.. Yoshiki lives in LA. [emm, sanada hiroyuki too].

oh, i already long listen to Xjapan. i listen to all 'old skool' bands too like Glay, Laruku (L'Arc-en-Ciel), Gackt, Mr Children, Dreams Comes True, Love Psychedelico, My Little Lover.

but i choose B'z the most favorite.

yes, he's the one who took Glay. the thing i didn't like was something personal happened long ago.. but to think again, it's not his fault anyway ^^

yeah.. tragic isn't it.
{at least do it after upcoming concert tours XD} love him. hate him. he's MJ after all. in whatever way, i still think he's a very strong man. if other celebrities probably already ended themselves with suicide.

Captain EO? i heard it.
it would be the best thing if this could be re-produced as DVD.
