3/14 no Tokei by Ryosuke Yamada & Keito Okamoto (Lyrics and Translation)

I'm currently so addicted to Hey!Say!JUMP's 3/14 no Tokei, written by Ryosuke Yamada with Keito Okamoto as guitar. This song is simply beautiful and once you listen to it, you just want to repeat it over and over again. Ryosuke sings it beautifully and I just simply love the guitar arrangement. Definitely one of the best Ballad songs they ever have~ I could listen to it all day and never get bored. Help me~ 

Kajikamute sode kara 

Hands that grew numb under those sleeves

Nozokase nagara

As I took a glance at them

Ano hi kureta yuki mo tokeru

I remembered what you gave on that day, covered with melting snow

Kurai amai chokoreeto

The sweet chocolate

Mado no soto nozoku to

When I peeked through the window

Tsubomi ga mou mebuite

The buds are starting to bloom

Mou soro soro purezento

It’s about time for a present

Mitsuke ni ikanakyane

I'll search for one

Saisho ni watashita pasuteru karaa no

A pastel coloured watch I gave on 3/14

Tokei kyasha na ude ni tsuiteru

It hangs on your slender wrist

Mou kidzuiteru? Tokei no ura ni kakushita

Have you found it? Hidden at the back of that watch

Kimi he no messeeji

The message for you

Let's spend the time together forever

Bokura no ai ga kono moji no youni Jikan wo kizandeku

Like these letters, let's engraved our love in time

Yukkuri to futari no byoushin ga

Slowly, as our hands

Yorisoi ai nagara Ai wo kizande yuku

Nestle close to each other, we carve our love

Ano hi chikatta hanasanaitte

That day we vowed to never let go of each other

Rainen no kono hi mo isshoni iyou yo

Next year, on this very same day, let's be together

Otagai betsu no michi arukou to shita kedo

Though we decided to walk on different paths

Itsudatte mata kimi dake wo kangaechaun dayo

I always end up thinking of you

Kisetsu ga megutte otona ni naru hodo

Seasons change long enough for us to grow old

Horo nigai ai ni natteku no kana

Will this become a bittersweet love?

Tokei no hari ga susundeku tabi

As the hands of the clock start to move

Kimi he no omoi mo tsuyoku naru

My feelings for you just grow stronger

Kawaranai kara bokura itsumademo

I will not change, so

Onaji kono keshiki wo kono mama miteiyou

Let’s look at the same scenery forever

Nichijou no atari mae no one scene

The usual scenes I see everyday

Kimi to iru dakede hora Konna ni mo kagayaku

When I'm with you, hey they shine brighter

Ano hi umareta Futari dake no

Let our love that born on that day

Ai wo itsumademo oh

continue forever

Bukiyou ni kawashita saisho no kisu ga

Through the clumsy first kiss we exchanged

Hanarenaitte yakusoku datta

We promised to never let go of each other

Namida no aji de nandaka atatakakute

The taste of the tears is somehow warm

Bokura mata nandomo Yorisoikasaneatta

Over and over again As we cuddled closer

Let's spend the time together forever

Bokura no ai ga kono moji no youni Jikan wo kizandeku

Like these letters, let's engraved our love in time

Yukkuri to futari no byoushin ga

Slowly, as our hands

Yorisoi ai nagara Ai wo kizande yuku

Nestle close to each other, we carve our love

Ano hi chikatta hanasanaitte

That day we vowed to never let go of each other

Rainen no kono hi mo isshoni iyou yo

Next year, on this very same day, let's be together

Zutto...

Always...

The Unending Secrets that Hides at the Deep of Human Heart through Pink & Gray (J-Movie)

As soon as I came back to Hey!Say!JUMP fandom, I found out that Yuto Nakajima has stepped further into the acting industry. He is one of my favorite actors in JUMP and what makes me even happier is the fact that his debut on the big screen as the lead role in this movie: PINK & GRAY, a movie adaptation from Shigeaki Kato's novel. This novel is Shige's debut in literary work, the first Johnny talent to debut as a writer to be exact. I congratulated him on my post. I love Hey!Say!JUMP and NEWS, so there's no way I'd skip this movie since it's the combined work of my two favorite fandoms. Hmm, this preface is already longer than I plan.

It is hard not to write some spoilers because half of the movie actually contain secrets and plot twist. I don't want people who are going to watch it for the first time to lose that surprised feeling from the plot twist either. Unless you've already read the novel.

This movie is split into two colors, which represent the past and present. The one with colors (Pink) is the past, and the one in black and white (Gray) is the present. It was confusing at first but it kept you curious to watch it 'til you understand what is actually going on. 

PINK - Past

The movie begins with Rengo Shiraki, a famous actor, who was preparing to commit suicide, he leaves 6 wills letters for his childhood best friend, Daiki Kawata / Riva-chan before he died. It was already too late when Daiki came and tried to release him from the tightropes. Daiki had to choose one of the wills from Rengo. Daiki's fate seemed to hinge on this choice. Rengo had an older sister who committed suicide during her Ballet performance in front of Rengo's eyes and whether this influenced Rengo's decision to do the same thing later or not will be answered later.

Daiki and Rengo's friendship began when Daiki moved to the same apartment and became Rengo's neighbor. And together with a neighborhood girl named Sally (Kaho), the trio became the best of friends who survived turbulent years of adolescence. Daiki felt both admiration and envy towards Rengo who excels at arts and looks, and popular among ladies, especially when Daiki found himself attracted to Sally, but the girl seemed to show more affection to Rengo. One day, the two boys scouted by a model agency and started working as extras. Rengo made the leap to acting and stardom, while the less-confident Daiki stews in the apartment they share. 

Rengo aware of Daiki's insecurities, tried to help him get more jobs on his dramas or movies, but Daiki was never able to give a good performance because he felt pressured with Rengo's presence at the scene. Daiki who was desperate overlooks Rengo's help and said he didn't want to stay with the current Rengo. Rengo didn't argue and just left the apartment, while Daiki poured his anxieties and feelings into Sally. They both had never seen Rengo again for the next three years.

Three years later

The two best friends reunited at Highschool class reunion. Daiki hesitated to greet his ex-best friend who has become a big star and gained so much attention at the reunion, but Rengo approached him first, and at that very same night, they were back to become best friends, as if all of the dramas and fights a few years ago never happened. That night, while the two of them drunk and reminiscing the good old days, Rengo promised Daiki that he would exchange place with him the next day. Daiki didn't understand Rengo's words since he's drunk and forgot about it right away. The next day, Rengo asked Daiki to visit his apartment at night. Daiki was too happy to finally reconciled with Rengo. He came to Rengo's apartment that night to have some fun talk and drink just as Rengo asked him before, only to find out that Rengo has committed suicide and left him with 6 wills letters.

GRAY - Present

After Rengo's death, Daiki wrote a biography novel about him, just like what Rengo wish in one of his wills that Daiki choose. This biography novel about Rengo Shiroki has gained Daiki the popularity that he's always wanted. The novel is adapted into the movie and Daiki was asked to portray one of the three leading roles. While watching his and Rengo's story through the big screen, Daiki realized that there was something that Rengo hides from him. Why did Rengo commit suicide? Why did he leave such troublesome suicide notes? Daiki who's just got into the showbiz world also learned that everything around him is more complicated and everyone wears a mask. 

Being a star doesn't always mean happiness. Daiki realized that he doesn't understand Rengo at all, despite the fact that they were best friends since childhood, Rengo never told him what's on his mind. Struggling to come to terms with Rengo’s suicide as well as with fame he can’t really call his own, Daiki sets out to discover the truth behind his friend’s death. Daiki learned that human is such a complex creature. No one really knows about anyone else except themselves.

This movie is surprisingly heavy and confusing when I first watched it, but it kept me curious. I cried a lot too, maybe the image of Yuto secretly hides something that makes him suffer actually hurt me a little. I feel like I can relate to both Rengo and Daiki's pain to some extent, but at the same time, there are moments when I don't understand him at all. Japan is really on a different level when it comes to thriller, suspense, psychological genre. I was speechless when the movie ended. I'm also amazed by Shige as the writer of this story.

By the way, as a Hey!Say!JUMP fan who is used to see Yuto's innocent, goofy, childlike image, this movie has totally changed my perspective towards him. I always know that Yuto is a great actor but I just never expect that the day will come when he's finally taking these kinds of roles and play some adult scenes, LOL. But he's undoubtedly and arguably great in portraying these roles and it made me respect him more now. I'm glad that this movie is his first debut on the big screen.

Face the Fear and Solve the Crime with Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Neo (Jdrama)

 

It's been a while since the last time I wrote about Jdrama. I decided to write about Kindaichi 2014 because I got so hooked on this drama. It's one of those dramas I would re-watch many times and never get bored. It's a live-action drama from the famous manga Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo. This has been the xxx times that Ryosuke plays the role of detective. I heard the mangaka was especially waiting for him to grow up to play as Kindaichi. How interesting is that? If you like comedy, detective, mystery, thriller, and romance mixed as one, this will be your cup of tea.

This drama revolves around a high school student named Hajime Kindaichi (Ryosuke Yamada). A grandson of a famous detective, Kousuke Kindaichi. Hajime has an IQ of 180, but instead of using it to study, he uses his intelligence to analyze the size of a woman's boobs (he's a pervert indeed, but in a comedy way lol) and doing silly stuff. Hajime's ability in reading kanji is also very poor that he often misunderstands the true meaning of the words. Hajime always lives so carefreely, but behind his foolishness, Hajime able to solve various difficult cases, just like his grandfather. That's why he has a good relationship with Kenmochi Isamu, the police detective, and often helps him solve difficult cases that seemed impossible. Along with his childhood friend, Miyuki Nanase (Haruna Kawaguchi), and his kouhai (junior) Saki Ryuji (Daiki Arioka), Hajime tried to uncover the truth behind many mysteries and murders which happened around him.

The series also highlighted the rivalry between Hajime and Youchi Takato (Hiroki Narimiya), a villain who called himself the crime producer, a puppet master from hell. Takato made the crime scenarios to lead those who have grudges on certain people to be able to fulfill their revenge by murdering their enemies in the most horrific way. Takato always able to escape from the police by disguising himself as many different people. He challenges Hajime to solve the mysteries behind the murder tricks he made.

Takato never knew his true father and been abandoned since he was a kid. Hajime somehow believes that Takato has human emotion too behind his evilness, and after some incidents between them, Hajime promised that someday he would find Takato's father.

What makes this drama interesting for me?

1. Ryosuke's many faces

Ryosuke as Kindaichi was able to show his really dorky side so well, and suddenly in one second, he could also change into a completely different character: genius and calm. He can be foolish and cool at the same time, like you want to repeat all of his foolish scenes because it's so hilarious but you also want to see his serious side when he solves those cases. The character he portrays is really entertaining, his foolishness seems so natural and you don't get bored watching him (thanks to his extremely beautiful face too) 😁

2. Hajime and Miyuki's relationship

Romance is not the main focus of this kind of drama, but we can see clearly that Hajime and Miyuki actually have soft spot for each other, and Hajime is so protective of her. Some silliness between the two childhood friends were shown nicely, it makes you want to have a childhood friend whom you can fall in love with LOL. It's not exaggerated, and yet still makes you squealed over their cute chemistry.

3. The cases were based on its original manga

Especially if you're a fan of the manga, you can look forward to watching how the cases in the manga being adapted into live-action. But they also made it different so you can still try to solve the puzzles along with Hajime. This is one of the best detective dramas I have ever watched.

4. Takato's charm despite of his evilness

Hiroki totally makes a good portrayal as the sadistic and evil Takato, but at the same time, he can steal your heart with his brilliant acting and charisma. The intense look and coldness around him made you scared but you also want to love him in episode 9 when he saved his sister. Hiroki made Takato's character which was scary in the manga becomes more likable.

Japan is the best when it comes to the suspense and thriller genres. You really feel the intense mystery. I can't even watch it at night because it's too scary for me. I wish they will make the 2nd season for this drama with the same actors, since Ryosuke and Haruna still look like high school students, and the story is great as well. I still want Akechi's character to be adapted in live action too. That would be interesting. And I strongly recommend this drama to everyone. I hope this will be your reference in choosing good Jdramas to watch.

Thank you for reading, bye bye :)

I'm still a fangirl

I thought I would be able to stop becoming a fangirl because I have no time to open their fanbase anymore since I joined organization in my college. I thought I would be okay eventhough I couldn't keep up with their news anymore. But tonight, I was so bored so I decided to open my fandom again: Hey!Say!JUMP and NEWS. These are what I found...:


1. Hey!Say!JUMP released their second album called JUMP World
So, I downloaded the album immediately and found that most of the songs in the album are as great as in their first album. :"> How can I moved on if they keep making these beautiful musics?

2. Chinen plays as a lead character in a new romance dorama called Sprout

Sprout is a live adaption of a manga and you know what, I've read that manga when I was in highschool, hahaha. What a coincidence :P Fyi, Chinen looks so handsome in the drama whereas he usually looks like a pretty boy, hahaha. Btw, Hey!Say!7 is going to release another single for the soundtrack of this drama :')

3. Ryosuke Yamada is going to play the 4th generation of Detective Kindaichi!

Another detective role, hahaha.... Fyi he looks so handsome in black hair. I heard the writer of Kindaichi manga had been planned five years ago to use Yamada as Kindaichi, but at that time Yamada was too small. I'm so looking forward to this! :D

4. Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou, Yuya Takaki's dorama, is going to have movie adaption. 
And Yuya is going to have a love triangle with Kojima Haruna and Yuta Tamamori. OMG... Can you believe it? These three will make amazing story, hahaha :P

5. NEWS released their BEST Album and their new single called Chankapana

I have seen some gifs and screecraps of Chankapana's PV. There's a little foreign girl in it. It looks nice. I'll come with the review after I watch it. Anyway, the cover looks nice, right? Tegoshi is too bright with his hair, but they are look handsome and mature. NEWS come back... although I never expected they would become four, but whatever... NEWS come back!! :">

I probably won't be able to keep up with their news as often as I used to be, but my excitement towards them is still as big as ever. I can live without fangirling, but fangirling has given me interesting color in my life, haha, so when I stop, I felt a bit empty somewhere inside me. A little bit exaggerating, but it's true :)

Super Delicate PV

It's finally here...

The PV is all about dancing, modeling, and flawless human beings. There was no story in the PV, unlike Over or Mayonaka no Shadow Boy. The song itself is once again, one of the coolest songs Hey! Say! JUMP ever released so far. It's catchier than Over in my opinion and a lot better than Mayonaka no Shadow Boy, hahaha. I like the choreography in Over better, but this one is not bad either. It's actually good, very good!

The boys look extremely gorgeous in the PV. Each of them did a catwalk like a professional model and each of them got a single camera for themselves on the stage. All of them except Inoo. Yeah, seriously, the amount of spotlights Inoo got in here is getting less and less. Let's hope that Johnny-san did that because Inoo has almost finished college so he's busy and wouldn't be able to get too many spotlights for now. Oh, and to Keito too. Haha, he doesn't get too many spotlights either. FYI, Keito got accepted into Shopia University in Japan. Let's hope he won't lose any spotlight because of this. I'm talking to you, Johnny-san! Omedetou, Keito!!!

Jaa, gotta do some assignments now!

February 1st

First of all... 
WELCOME FEBRUARY!! The month of love, hahaha. Have you guys prepared your chocolate? 😝

These days have been like a roller coaster for me. It's a holiday, btw, but it doesn't feel like it. I mean, I have to go to my college every day because my choir is going to hold a concert in April so we have been doing the preparation since January. It's Maximilian Recital. We will present you the best choir concert ever, so do watch it in April, okay \(^o^)/ Also, as I've written before that I'm back to teaching again, but it doesn't take a lot of my time like it did last year because I'm not the head of Departement of Linguistic anymore so I could be a bit relax, hehe. 

Move to another completely unrelated news: Hey!Say!JUMP's Super Delicate cover has been out, and it looks gorgeous!! \(>o<)/

credit to jump-now@LJ

They will release a concert DVD too. Hey! Say! JUMP is really active, it's scary... 😂 And Happy Birthday to Yabu Kota-kun as the leader. LOL, sorry, I am late posting about this and I didn't make a special birthday post because I was lazy busy. FYI, I've watched Saikou no Jinsei no Owarikata with subtitles and it turns out to be one of the best dramas ever, so far. Hohoho... subtitles do matter! The drama is so deep and each story in each episode has a different and interesting plotline. I'm going to keep up with the drama!! 

Last but not least, I'm surrounded by awesome people. They make me want to be awesome too. Haha... I'll do my best! Jaa, gotta rush to Carrefour with my family now. Have a nice day! 

Home Alone...

Yeah, my family members except me are going to Blok-M now. They didn't leave me behind, but I'm the one who chose to stay home. I use this free time to download many J-videos and watch new J-Dramas. 

1. Risou no Musuko

Yamada and Yuto's drama which has started airing a few days ago. I just finished watching the first episode. There are no subtitles yet but I've laughed in many parts, but there were also parts that got me cried a bit, hahaha. A very nice starter. Yamada plays quite a different character compared to his previous roles (mostly all of them are as detectives). Yamada has a mother complex here. And Yuto plays another boy who has a mother complex too. I'm sure will keeping up with upcoming episodes.

PS: Super Delicate which is Hey! Say! JUMP's new single is really a good song. It's a soundtrack for Risou no Musuko. Can't wait until they release it!

2. Saikou no Jinsei no Owarikatta

Yamapi and Chinen's drama. It has a different genre from Risou no Musuko. Chinen plays as a university student whereas, in real life, he hasn't graduated from high school yet, hahaha. And Yamapi plays the oldest brother. His role is quite the same as his previous dramas (all except in Nobuta wo Produce and Proposal Daisakusen). I hope his character will develop later in the drama. There's no subtitle yet so I skipped a lot of parts because it was a bit boring. Maybe because I don't understand what they're saying and this is not comedy-drama so I was so serious when watching it, haha. Hopefully, my thought will change after I watched it again with subtitles, hehe.

3. Hungry

Because Miori Takimoto is the lead actress, and because this is Shori Sato's first drama, I decided to give it a try. It turns out to be a very very enjoyable drama. Osamu Mukai as the lead actor plays a chef of French cuisine who doesn't know how to behave like a chef. He has skills and his cooking is amazing, but he doesn't have 'what it takes' to be a professional chef.  A bunch of guys from a rock band who learn to be a professional chef is really interesting. I was starving while watching this drama. So many foods! I'll be keeping up with upcoming episodes too 😣

Now, I'm going to watch a dorama that I got from Tyas a few days ago. Nice Sunday. Jaa~

A Prince in Modern Era

credit to animehsj@tumblr

I love his haircut. I love the way he leaned his body into the car. I love his blue shirt. I love his black suit. I love the color of his tie. I love his cool expression. That little smile always makes my heart skip a beat. Overall, this picture reminds me of a prince. A prince from the Modern era of course. Oh, well... Takaki Yuya is a prince anyway, at least for me. Hahaha... 💗

Omedetou, Yabu!

To the leader of Hey! Say! JUMP, Omedetou gozaimasu! Of all the great news I've received from JUMP, the news about you who just passed the Entrance Exam of Waseda University was the one that got me excited the most. I thought Inoo-chan would forever be the only college student in JUMP. I'm so glad that you decided to be a university student and use your (very very very) brilliant brain not only to create music but also to study properly in college. Ganbatte kudasai ne, I'm always amazed by Johnny's talents who continue their education to college after they graduate from high school Omedetou, Yabu-kun!!

In another completely related news, Hey! Say! JUMP will hold its first Asia Tour in 2012. Too bad, Indonesia is still not included on their country list. They will release a new single too called "Super Delicate" for the soundtrack of Ryosuke Yamada and Yuto Nakajima's drama, Risou no Musuko. Not to mention that four of HSJ members will play in winter drama too this year. The boys are doing very well. I'm a happy fangirl ^^

2012 and My Fangirl Needs

In 2011, I started listening to Jpop, and my heart completely fell for NEWS and Hey!Say!JUMP. In 2011, NEWS lost two very important members: Tomohisa Yamashita and Ryo Nishikido. In 2011, Hey!Say!JUMP lost its youngest member, Ryutaro Morimoto. It took some time for me to recover from the heartbreak I got from that news, but life goes on, and seems like my idols have moved on. So far, I've got some great news from two of my favorite groups:

1. Tegoshi Yuya to star in a movie (Hotaru no Hikaru)

Although Tegoshi won't be the lead role, this is one of the most phenomenal movies in Japan (that's what I read from some articles and comments, but I myself have never watched it) and it is said that Tegoshi would play a new character who will be the key to the story development.

2. Tomohisa Yamashita and Yuri Chinen to star in a new drama together (Saikō no jinsei no owari-kata)

Yamapi is not my favorite actor, nor my favorite member when he was in NEWS, but I always enjoy his dramas and his songs. Now, I'm so looking forward to this new drama because of Chinen! It's been a while since he played in a drama again. He will be Yamapi's little brother in the drama. What a unique combination in my opinion. 😃

3. Ryosuke Yamada to star in a new drama ('Ideal Son')

Some people said that Yamada's role will be very different compared to the roles he had in his previous dramas (most of them were as a young handsome detective), so that's the only highlight. I'm looking forward to it, though... since I always love Yamada's acting. Yuto Nakajima will also play along with Yamada in this drama! He would play as Yamada's friend. Yattaaa.... It's been a while since I saw Yuto act. I can smell a new Hey!Say!JUMP single coming in January! 😆

4. Shigeaki Kato to debut in literary work and release the first book

This is the most exciting news of all the good news that I've received from my beloved boys so far because this is really a new thing for JE Talents. I've written my thought about this in my previous post. I'm sooo happy and so looking forward to this book since I'm a fan of Shige's essays and j-web posts 💚

5. Daiki Arioka to star in a Taiga drama (Chusingura, Sono gi Sono Ai)

I think my little brother will be more excited about this drama than I am. I'm not a fan of this kind of drama, but my little brother loves it so much. But this is great because it's been a while since Daiki act in a drama again ✊

Btw, it's the popular trio who gets to star in dramas again. I hope my boy Yuya will also have some spotlights for himself this year, and Keito, and Inoo, and Yabu, who deserved love as much as the other three get. 

And please let the new NEWS release singles and if possible, an album in 2012 too. I feel the need to support them now!!

Sayonara, Ryutaro!

I guess it's official. His name is no longer in Hey!Say!JUMP's page on Johnny's web. There is no better clarification than this. When a JE member left his respective group, their name will be deleted from its respective page. That's what happened to Uchi, Kusano, Yamapi, and Ryo in NEWS, and Akanishi Jin in KAT-TUN. And this time, I'm not really surprised when I heard about it. Back in July, when I heard that Ryutaro was suspended due to underage smoking, I cried a lot, but I still had high hope that someday he would return to Hey!Say!JUMP after his suspension finished. A month ago, Yamapi and Ryo left NEWS. I cried again, and I learned something: don't put your hope too high on idols. You can't expect them to be something you wanted them to be. So, I gradually learn to accept the fact that NEWS is 4 members now. And now, Ryutaro also left the group (or being kicked out by Johnny, I don't know and I will never know), but I didn't cry. I'm tired of crying for these kinds of matters over an idol. But somewhere deep in my heart, I feel like something is missing. I'm sad, but my tears won't fall. Ryutaro is not my favorite, but HSJ without him is indeed different. Hey!Say!JUMP has ten letters and divided into two subgroups, BEST and 7, each subgroup has 5 members. That's the concept of Hey!Say!JUMP. Now, without Ryutaro, is it mean that there won't be BEST and 7 anymore? I don't know. Time will tell. Now, I can only hope the best for them, for JUMP and Ryutaro. Leaving the group doesn't mean the end of his world. Maybe he would someday back to the entertainment world as a soloist, and maybe that's the best for him since he didn't get the spotlights as much as he deserves. Time will tell us and time will heal our pain of losing him as a part of JUMP. He's a member who will forever be missed. Ganbatte, Hey!Say!JUMP. Ganbatte, Ryutaro. Thank you for being our little hamster for these past 4 years ❤

Picture of the day: The Boys in Pink

credit scan to MoMozZz@baidu and heysayjump59@LJ

I know this is just another cover magazine. The only reason I need to put this picture in one of my Picture of the Day is because the boys look so beautiful. They always look amazing, but this one looks sooo pretty. I actually love how Yuya, Keito, and Inoo are placed in the front row. I love Yuya and Keito's hairstyle. Hikaru still has his blonde hair. I don't know until when he will keep his hair blonde since his drama's already over, but I'm totally fine with that because his blonde hair just adds his handsomeness ❤ Inoo is pretty as always. The others are just beautiful. I love the pink color on their lips and I love their white and pink outfits. They look bright and glowing. This photoshoot is so beautiful 😆

Star Time

I'm listening to the acoustic version of this song now. I posted the lyrics, translation, with mp3 of the old version before in this entry. This is one of my favorite of all Hey!Say!JUMP's songs, and now they made the acoustic version and they sing it in more mature voices. Ryosuke Yamada's voice has improved really really a lot compared to the old version. I love his voice so much in here. Actually, I like both versions of Star Time, but I'm a huge fan of a ballad, so this version sounds a little bit better for me. It's shorter though, and there's no epic ending by Yuto and Yabu. As I'm writing this post now, I've been listening to Star Time acoustic version for more than 10 times and still continue repeating it. Yuto's first line still sounds beautiful as always. I like Chinen's voice in the past better than this one. Yabu and Hikaru's voices don't changed much and always sound good. It's a little thing like this that makes my love for this Japanese boyband never fades away... :')

Happy Fourth

To Yabu, your voice will always be my favorite of all JUMP members. You're a good leader. The born-to-be star who always managed to get everything perfect on stage. Stay awesome, and please eat more :3

To Yuya, you are my reason to love Hey! Say! JUMP and you will always be my number one. You've improved a lot. I'm proud of you :)

To Inoo-chan, you're an awesome college student. I hope you can be an awesome architecture in the future. And your randomness is the best!! and also your piano skill :D

To Hikaru, the blonde ikemen. I really adored your acting skills. And btw, it's fine if your jokes always failed, because you never fail to make me laugh. :*

To Daichan, the forever 15 years old kid. Maa, that's okay because that makes people love you more. Keep the kindness in your heart, little penguin :)

To Keito, you have improved really a lot since debut time. I can't see the awkward little boy who didn't know how to speak Japanese properly in you anymore. Stay gentle :)

To Yuto, no one's gonna hate you. They just can't. You're too lovable. I always love it when you play your drum enthusiastically and how sincere you are in your action. And you have the best smile ever. The child smile that never changed since you were kid... :3

To Yama-chan, you're humble and you're very kind and sometimes a little stupid. Ah, please study more so you won't be beaten in Yan Yan JUMP quizzes anymore lol

To Chinen, is there anything that you can't do? Ah, good luck with Ohno-kun :P 

To Ryutaro, the youngest who doesn't want to be treated as the youngest. Hey! Say! JUMP is ten letters with ten members, so it's not complete without you. Come back soon... :)

To all these wonderful young men who have brought happiness to my life, Thank you very much. I never really love an idol as much as I love all of you, guys. I will treasure you as long as I can. To everyone in Hey! Say! JUMP, let's continue this magical story for eternity. 💜

Magic Power PV

This PV is probably not something that I will proudly show off to my friends to introduce HeySayJUMP unless they are 10 years old hahaha... Just kidding. Oh well, I will still show it to my friends, though. I don't think the PV is bad. To be honest, I love the cheerfulness and the happy feeling I get every time I'm watching it. I like the lightning. I like their 70's dance step and outfits. I really like the setting too. I like the fact that JUMP Band is included in this PV. We only got a chance to see them in concert or Shounen Club performance sometimes, so it's really great that they finally make a 'debut' appearance in a PV. Actually, I really like that for the first time, Keito got quite a number of spotlights for himself. In previous PVs, he was almost always overshadowed by others. I've realized since the beginning that Keito has some kind of enchanting aura, especially when he plays guitar, and the director finally noticed it too. Maybe because one member is not here for now. Oh well, at least Ryutaro will have something funny to watch while taking a 'holiday' for an uncertain time. He better come back soon. 

Anyway, unlike most JUMP fans, I don't have a problem with the song. I like it since the very first time I heard it. It's so catchy and cheerful and happy (most HSJ fans thought the song is childish, but hey, I'm childish too so that does not matter LOL). The song will definitely raise your gloomy mood into... a happier mood? This is for The Smurfs Japanese version theme song btw. Kids will definitely love to dance and sing along with this song. I would love to do it too, but I have to make sure that nobody's gonna see me, LOL. And what I love the most about this PV is the smiling and laughing faces of JUMP members. They look so bright. Yuya's smile is flawless. He looks best in every kind of outfits. Btw, I always love the combination of Yuya and Ryosuke's voices, and they have a little bit of a duet part in this song. I'm a very happy fangirl :3

The single itself is filled with many good songs. There are 6 songs in the single buT my favorites are:

1. Magic Power

2. School Days - Hey! Say! BEST

3. Get - Hey! Say! 7

4. Beat Line

Actually, I've got tons of things to say about every single song I mentioned above, but I think I'll just keep it for myself as people don't really care, right? You should listen to it yourself and judge it yourself ❤

College has already started again!!

That's right. My holiday has just over. And my college days have already started since yesterday. I want to appreciate my college life more than I ever did in the last two semesters. This time I have come with new goals for my college life. Not a big goal, actually... it is actually ordinary for a college student.

1. Get at least a B to A score for every course. Well, Arabic will be an exception unless a miracle happens to my brain. I don't like the Arabic lessons and I've never even dreamed to get B- for this course. C+ is already great for my standard. *Yeah, just laugh at my stupidity please 😒

2. Being more active in class and make people know that I exist. Yeah, being more active because I've spent a year in my college being a silent student. Well, what should I say? I don't like talking to people. But at least this year I should make myself being more active. Wish me luck with this one. I'm really sure I will be able to change my personality. Ganbarimasu~

For now, that's all. I'm thinking about joining organizations but I still have yet to find any interesting organization. 

In other news, my beloved boyfriend Yuya Takaki will be hosting for October Shounen Club with my dearest drummer, Yuto Nakajima, and Daiki Arioka, so I'm really looking forward to it ❤

It's time for Friends

Betsfriends will always be Bestfriends...

Two weeks ago, I met Ema, Vina, and Kartika. We had fast-breaking together at my house before we headed to Pejaten Village and watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It's been quite a while since we met up. I'm glad that although we don't see each other as much as we used to be, because of everyone's activities, we still always manage the time to meet. We also always celebrate everyone's birthday together. They are truly my best friends ❤

Star Time gathering shop and new friends...

Last week, I went to the Star Time shop gathering with Tyas. Star Time shop is a fan online-store for Johnny's Entertainment merchandise in Indonesia. Last week was their anniversary and they invited a lot of their customers to join a little party to celebrate it. Because the theme was Hey!Say!JUMP, I immediately agreed when Muthi, my online friend, asked me to go there with Tyas and her. That was also the very first time I met Muthi. She's a university student in UI in the same faculty as Tari and Tyas, so yeah, Tari knows her :3. She's a fan of Arashi and other JE boys. I've been talking to her for a few months through Twitter and BBM before we finally met. She's a very cheerful girl. She could get along with everyone really fast. I also met Ashasy at the gathering. She's a high school student I knew from Twitter. We talked a lot on Twitter because both of us are fans of Hey! Say! JUMP. Actually, I've met her at Gelar Jepang UI before, but all we did when we met was glanced at each other, hahaha. None of us braved enough to greet each other properly because we were too shy :P But at the Star Time gathering, we finally shook hands and we started talking to each other a lot ^^ Yay, I've made new friends, thanks Japanese fandom~

Reunion with some of Mabit Friends...

Last Tuesday, I had fast-breaking with Bunda Dewi, Mia, Molly, and Tyas. Oh my God, we hadn't met for a few weeks. I'm so glad that I met them. I had a good time whenever I'm with my Mabit friends. Of course, Mia and Molly never failed to make me laugh with their absurdness 😆 On Wednesday, me, Bunda Dewi, Mia, and Molly went to Metro TV studio to watch Kick Andy live. It was all thanks to Molly and the kindergarten where she's working now. I can't believe that she's a teacher for playgroup and kindergarten kids now. I'm so proud of her ❤❤ The teachers from that kindergarten allowed us to watch the tapping of Kick Andy. The episode that we watched will be aired on September 1st. Btw, the theme of Kick Andy was about the great people behind the world of health. And those people were all women. Anyway, we got new books for free and we learned a lot from the show. Moreover, I'm so glad that I met them and had great times. 

This week I will have another fast-breaking with my friends. On Friday, I will have a reunion with my high school friends at Ancol beach. It's been almost two years since I graduated from high school. I can't wait to meet those freak awesome people again. I wonder how much they have changed since graduation times.

On Saturday, I will have a fast-breaking with Mabit Big Family. Yaaay... I'm sooo looking forward to this event too because a lot of people from Auxiliary and Aroma will come. I bet it will be fun to meet up with them again 😆

Friends, their existence in your life is amazing, right? ❤

Happy Birthday, Yutorin! (18)

Dear Yuto...

You are 18 years old now. I wish nothing but tons of luck and happiness for you. Oh, would you stop hitting people around you? They're not a drum LOL! But, I would gladly lend my body to be your drum, though (this sounds so wrong, but trust me, I didn't mean it in a bad way. You know, lend my body, means, I let him hit me with his drum stick when he feels like playing a drum. Oh well...) 

Dear Yuto...

Please stop growing. I mean your height, really, share your height with me even just a little bit. I'm quite short, hahaha... But please let your heart growing, but don't ever let your child soul fades away. Keep it inside you. That's one of your charming points. Ah, your smile is also one of your charming points. And also your face, your talent, your sparkling eyes, your innocence... okay, you have too many charming points 😆

Dear Yuto...

I love you...

A little bit about my recent life + Hey! Say! JUMP Magic Power preorder

I've been trying to write something since yesterday but I really have nothing in my mind. I don't have anything good to write, but it feels like my blog is calling me, "write in me... write in me...nooow..." so yeah, I decided to drop by in here and write something. Let see...... hmmm.... is there any interesting thing to write?

Okay, last Sunday, I went to the cinema to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 with my friends. It was epic, awesome, cool, et cetera. I'm not in the mood to write the review. Let's just say that as a big fan of Harry Potter's books, this movie does not disappoint me at all. Even, I'm planning to watch it for the second time 😆

I think it can't be helped that I will once again talk about my boys, Hey!Say!JUMP.

*I use the picture with ten members of Hey! Say! JUMP in it 'though I know that Ryutaro won't participate in this new single, but as long as he's still on J-Web, right at JUMP's page, then HSJ will always be ten people for me~

Anyway, I watched episode 4 of Ikemen Desu Ne today and it was one of my favorite episodes after episode 1. Until now, there's always someone who will badmouth about Hikaru, whether it's about his double teeth or complain that he's not as cute as Lee Hong Ki, and I can't help but felt angry with those mean people. But it's useless trying to make them change their mind because everyone has a different opinion and that's perfectly fine. I just hate when they become rude 😒 Now, I decided not to give a shit about those people who are badmouthing Ikemen Desu Ne, because I personally LOVE it and I'm not the only one who love Ikemen Desu Ne and Hikaru. There are so many people who love those two so let's just ignore the haters >.o 

A.N.J.ELL Japan

Some people said they are not as handsome as the Korean version, huh? Well, I don't think so. This Japanese A.N.J.EL have their own charm, and their natural handsomeness is beautiful. Been watching Ikemen Desu Ne until episode 2, and I'm totally falling for these three angels. It's interesting to see their acting improved in each episode. Good job, boys. I always love Hikaru, but this drama makes my love for him grows bigger and bigger. And I didn't know that Fujigaya could be that adorable. He was like a wild lion before he cut his hair for this drama, and now he's turning into a cute cat 😆 And Tamamori... Dude, I've been liking you since the times of Gokusen 3, your acting has been improved so much in Ikemen Desu Ne. Well done... I'm proud of you. For some people, these three are newbies in acting because they haven't been in many dramas, but I have watched all of Hikaru's and Tamamori's dramas before, so they are not newbies for me. As for Fujigaya, he's just naturally amazing. These three are truly angels ❤

Looking forward to the next episodes of Ikemen Desu Ne. These there are truly ikemen, desu nee? :3
