Happy Belated 6th Anniversary, KAT-TUN And A Small Issue

March 22, 2012 marked the 6th anniversary of the Jpop group I tend to follow the most...KAT-TUN~!  ^o^  As most of you know, I've become quite interested in this group a few months back.  I've heard of them prior to actually becoming a fan, but never really paid attention to them (as I was into anime and about to head into the realm of Kpop).  But just like TVXQ I do feel sad that I came into the fandom really late.

Anyway, KAT-TUN is a super popular Jpop male group that is under Johnny's Entertainment.  They're very interesting fellas if I do say so myself.  I'm in the process of watching their variety show called 'Cartoon KAT-TUN and they are just as hilarious as my main bias group~!  Although the vocals of the members of KAT-TUN do confuse me--because they almost sound alike--I do like alot of their songs.  Their dancing is...a bit interesting as well.  But that is because I'm so used to seeing Kpop grounds dance in sync.  However, this group has a pretty impressive record when it comes to their performances and such.  So far, KAT-TUN is the only group to perform multiple times in the prestigious Tokyo Dome BEFORE debut.  And at one time, they performed ELEVEN shows in ONE day!  How amazing is that?  o.O  There are several other feats that they've done, but I can't remember off the top of my head.  Here is a link to their Wikipedia page for that:  KAT-TUN history.  I also made a post about them earlier if you want to check them out further.  :D

HAPPY 6TH ANNIVERSARY, KAT-TUN~!  

 

Now, the next issue is about what recently happened on Twitter involving a recent picture of Jaejoong.  At first I didn't know what they were talking about--save that some fans were spazzing that Jaejoong had become blonde or something.  But then some fans began to notice that it didn't come from his own twitter (and it was a selca of himself).  This was also from KakaoTalk--sort of like a Korean instant messaging app for your smartphone, ipad, etc.  And since it wasn't uploaded by Jaejoong himself or any of his staff, many fans were lead to believe that his account on KakaoTalk was hacked by a sasaeng fan or whatnot.  And what with all the issues that have arisen pertaining to sasaengs lately, it could make any situation tense.  But I believe that the person who initially uploaded the picture took it down.  I think she may have been a friend of his on KakaoTalk too (I'm still fuzzy on the details).  The issue is about other fans' reactions to the fans who said it could have been the work of sasaengs.  They seemed to have gotten upset when sasaengs were blamed.  Truthfully, I would've blamed them too.  After hearing about everything that those types of girls do, it would make your eyes go o.O  But upon realizing it, alot of the stuff we see about our favorite celebs--airport pics mainly--most likely come from a sasaeng.  I guess I'm alright with airport pics and whatnot HOWEVER I don't like all the extra stuff that sasaengs do.  For example...getting a hold of their cellphone numbers, flight itinerary, breaking and entering their houses...I guess basically anything that invades their privacy or does more harm to the celebrity and the fan than good.  I think the best way to make an impression as a fan to your 'oppa', 'ichiban', whatever is to just attend their concert, go to a fan meet, or send them a nicely done letter with maybe a fan gift...as long as it's not written in blood or anything disturbing.  ^^;;  But I just figure I'd let out my thoughts on the issue.

Peace out~!

Remembering 3/11 And A Little Tidbit Extra

Today was the day that marked the one year anniversary of the major natural disaster that struck Japan (even though it was yesterday in Japan).  I can still remember when I was watching the news as the water came speeding in.  It left goosebumps on my body.  As I've stated before, I used to live there and I loved it very much.  It suprised many how the people cooperated in the wake.  Though the road to recovery will be very long (believe me, I know) I know that Japan will come back better.  I hope to come back and visit soon~!  :3 

Thi is just a small post I'd like to dedicate to the people of Japan.  ^o^ 

But...as a sidenote, I'd also like to say to my ultimate bias, "Stay strong.  I know I can't support very well from here, but I shall keep trying." 

Peace out~!

This is an entry I had from my LiveJournal...

I feel a bit intimidated when I step into a group that has long been established in the entertainment world and has so many fans that are 'well-seasoned' in terms of knowlege of a member I like. I usually think: "Wow...they know alot about him. They'd make a better pair than I would with him." It was a little like that in the beginning for me with Changmin in TVXQ, but it seems a bit worse for Junnosuke in KAT-TUN since I'm so late in entering the fandom. :o I hope none of you take it the wrong way of course. I really do admire the loyalty in some of you fans because it must be so easy to stick with just one person (which I seem to have temporarily lost sight with). I only say that last part because loyalty/faithfulness is one of the big traits of a Leo. Maybe that is why my brain is fried whenever I look at the pics on my Windows 7 desktop thingy because it's got both Changmin and Junnosuke pics to shuffle through.

I see fans who are strictly Changmin and ones who are strictly Junnosuke biased. And ones that like both already seem to have chosen who they'd most likely stick with. So, where does that leave me? I still think that I'd most likely choose Changmin, but then I don't want to lose Junnosuke either. Then I think: "Is this really something to be fretting over?" XD I also don't want to be considered a 'fake' fan or a disappointment to one fandom or the other for liking both of these guys very much. It's like I'm thinking they're saying: "You should stick with one and not worry about the other". Even thought that is totally not the case of what they're saying. But I really dislike when fans compare them in negative ways, namely by saying that one is better than the other in various fields (i.e. - hotness/cuteness, dancing, singing, etc.) >:( I can't --no--I REFUSE to do that. If I do compare, it's all for good things. I guess I just want fans who are either Changmin/Junnosuke-biased to recognize that BOTH are special. 

I guess this would filter in with my previous post in the section that was talking about Kpop and Jpop.  Anyways...peace out~!
