Due to what had happened to certain communities and LJs (and current sharing nightmare), I finally decided to lock some of my entries, you know what...

I will be adding friends depending on my free time.
You have to stay active and your LJ must be older than 6 months old to be added back.

You may do whatever you want to do with the content in those entries with one exception; please follow what the red fonts requesting you to do(if any). That's all.

Do not credit me.

Sorry... I have to do this... I never thought I have to resort to this. But I love this LJ, so many memories with it, I don't want to lose it.

Lastly, I totally hate to do this but I finally will include a donate button here. I'm not forcing anyone to donate, but with so many restrictions lately, more money is needed for all the sharing. Because of this reason as well, I won't be sharing as regular as I normally do anymore, until I have enough fund or when I have extra money to support my love for J-entertainment. 

 

Edit:

If you said you use LJ just for community purpose and have another website, PM me to direct me to it, I won't PM you, it's your responsibility to convince me that I can trust you. I'm sorry, with so many things happen lately, I can't be sure who are the spy and who are the backstabbers and who are the true fans.

Don't direct me to your Facebook, I despise Facebook to the bone with my own scientific and tech reasons. 

My principle is simple; no fan is bigger than the other.

People seemed to be mistaken. Janne/ABC is not my longest fandom. I know Loudness, X and Takki long before I got to know Janne. True, I was introduced to Janne when they were still in indie days. But I was one year late knowing them; they debuted in indie scene for one year already before I got to know them. I think people made the assumption because yasu is older than both Tono and I. But you have to remember how young, how little Tono was when he first jumped into the entertainment industry and I was happened to be there to witness it. His aura shone on the spot that you would be wondering, “Who is this boy?”.

Ok, doesn’t matter how long you are in certain fandom. Fans’ seniority means nothing. Once you are a fan, you are as the same as other fans (with the exception of few things such as personal, family, friends, etc). So, no matter in which fandom you are in, just love each other and respect each other. Cheers. ( ˘ ³˘)♥

Embassy of Japan is calling for entries for the 6th International MANGA Award. In an effort to share Japanese pop culture and promote understanding of Japan, this Award was established in 2007 to honour non-Japanese cartoonists for their contribution to the promotion of MANGA culture outside Japan.

Response to this Award has been overwhelming, with 145 works submitted from 30 countries/regions for the 5th International MANGA Award in 2011 where Spanish cartoonist, Mr. JM Ken Niimura clinched the “Gold Award” for his masterpiece “I Kill Giants”.

Malaysian cartoonists submitted their works every year; in 2007 well-known Malaysian cartoonist, Mr. Benny Wong Thong Hou received the “Shorei” Award for his work “Le. Gardenie” in the 1st International MANGA Award. Three Malaysian cartoonists, Mr. Chong Chiew Choy, NEKO(Ms. Chang Lee Ying), and Tan Zien Yun also received the “Bronze” Award in the 5th International MANGA Award in 2011.

The Selection Committee will select the best MANGA from all entries for the “Gold Award” and approximately three distinguished works will receive the “Silver Award”. These deserving cartoonists will have the opportunity to attend the award ceremony in Japan aournd January 2013.

In recent years, a subculture related to Japanese anime and manga has rapidly attracted worldwide attention. To make the most of this trend, the Japan Foundation presents JAPAN: Kingdom of Characters – a traveling exhibition which examines characters as one radical aspect of this subculture.

What exactly is a character? Why are they so popular? What kind of society do these characters reflect and what kind of influence do they exert on that society? And finally, where is Japanese character culture headed? In this exhibition, as the intimate relationship between characters and Japanese people is introduced, visitors will gain a better understanding of the cultural and historical background behind the Japanese love of characters as well as the future of characters in contemporary Japan.

Everything is driving me crazy. Sharing hosts, torrent ddl proxies, bandwidth.

I'm on the verge of becoming who I used to be; a heartless, mean, cold ha*k*r. I stopped because it was a sin. I've vowed not to be that person anymore. I try to do everything by the rules in these past 3 years.
However, people are using their power for an easy way out, so that they can please their lobbyists. They should be thankful, I love God more than anything, if not...

Ah~!!! I need a new Tono's drama or I'll end up crazy in this whole insane cyber fiasco. =_=
(I see myself end up watching Taiyou no Kisetsu all over again)

I'm not going to share the Best Artist 2011 as I saw the full show has already floating around. It's too big and might waste my bandwidth. I don't know, I might change my mind in this near future. 

For the time being, for those who don't know yet, there are some latest subbed T&T videos at newshfan dW:

"NTV Best Artist 2011" (30 Nov, 2011) Hey!Say!JUMP + Tackey & Tsubasa talk + medleys. Here
"Coming Soon!!" (21 Nov, 2011) T&T talk + "Heartful Voice". Here
"Ichiban Song Show" (16 Nov, 2011) T&T talk + "Heartful Voice". Here

I've been trying to avoid this topic for days. This is not Yone who left. This is like Ryo who chose Kanjani∞ over NEWS.
Gakki is leaving FiVE to focus on Question? and apparently FiVe will be disbanding. I heard Rikki already left, well, can't blame him, he has his own family to take care now. 

While I'm a big Question? fan but FiVE is an important part in T&T family (even news about all these has been circling more around T&T fandom more than any other fandom, that's how close and important FiVE to T&T fandom).

Of course, they said it's a hiatus, but we know what hiatus means in Japanese entertainment. With this, I think Johnnys need to nurture another good band because I don't think Question? can back up all the concerts by themselves. I know it won't be easy to find bands as good as FiVE and Question?, their skills are even better than some rock bands in their age.

No matter what, good luck and all the best to every each FiVE and Question? member, current and former, you guys always have a place in my heart. <3
