J-news Friday!

Yo minna! Before we get into the news, i must give my thanks to each one of you reading my blog. Recently there has been a major increase in the popularity of www.animefact.wordpress.com, so Yoko-chan says “Thank you!!!”.

Ok now, this week’s news section is kinda weird. Some pieces of news make me angry and sad and some others make me so happy! Let’s start with the bad news first…

* How do you guys read mangas? I can only read them online since in my country, shops that sell mangas are very rare. Probably i could order them online from somewhere outside the country, but it would be a huge waste of time, not to mention the crappy postal services over here that make me think twice before calling them to solve a problem. Well anywayz, the bottom line is that internet is the best solution for someone like me. However, the great site i’ve been using to read mangas so far … is closing down. http://www.onemanga.com/ is closing down. You can find their official announcement over there and their explanations. I do understand the reasons, but i can’t help feeling sad and frustrated by it. Well anywayz, for all their work at onemanga, i respectfully bow before them. Great job!

* When i’m interested in anime/manga news i always check John’s AnimeNation blog first. As usual, i find the best pieces of information over there. Just like now. Guess what? Fushigi Yuugi is to become a stage play! I so wish i could see it! You can read the whole article here. Since it’s a special occasion, here’s a great Fushigi Yuugi wallpaper of Miaka and Tamahome!

* Everyone’s eagerly waiting for Ninomiya Kazunari and Kenichi Matsuyama’s live adaptation of Gantz. Well guess what? A teaser has been released! Read the whole article here. Can’t wait to see this movie!

* Noooooooowwww everybody get ready for the best piece of news today! Mister John, thank you for this!!! All you Bleach lovers out there, hear me! (Uwa! That sounds like a call to get people to war or something. Teehee!). The fourth Bleach movie was scheduled to premiere on December 4th!!! I can’t wait to see it!! Read the whole article here. Since again, it’s a special occasion, here’s an awesome Bleach wallpaper!

* Nippon Cinema is another source of joy for me. A full trailer for the live-action adaptation of Kimi ni Todoke starring Miura Haruma is now available. As i do love the manga a lot, and i do love Miura Haruma a lot, i can’t wait to see this movie!! Read the whole article and watch the trailer here.

Well that’s about it. Have a great weekend minna-san!

Jaa ne!

Thursday’s Cosplay!

Yo minna! I know (from the search engines) that the cosplay section is very well liked and i’m sorry i skipped it last week. However, we now have a set of Bleach cosplay pics that i’m sure you’ll like. We’ll have cosplay pics with 4 of the espadas: Ulquiorra Schiffer (my all time favorite), Grimmjow Jeagerjaques, Tia Harribel and Nelliel Tu Oderschvank. So here we go!

Let’s start with the Nel cosplays:

You gotta admit this is so damn hot! However, remember how Nel was at the very begining? Little Nel? Here you go!

Grimmjow cosplay anyone? I only have one pic, but it sure does its job. This Grimmjow fellow is really awesome! Look at his expression!

Now here’s the cosplay pic of Harribel and Ulquiorra. Awesome cosplay indeed!

And now, here are my favorite ones. Ulquiorra cosplay!

Honestly, don’t you just love cosplay?

Jaa ne!

Tuesday’s Wallpaper(s): Akanishi Jin & Kamenashi Kazuya & Ueda Tatsuya

Yo minna! I was thinking what kind of wallpaper i should bring for today’s wallpaper section. Of course, as usual, i was thinking of anime wallpapers. However, this time will be an exception. Since i’m still not confortable with Jin (B)Akanishi leaving KAT-TUN, this post will also deal with these guys. So i’m going to post 3 wallpapers: one of Kame, on of Ueda and one of Bakanishi. Next week we’ll have 3 other wallpapers with the remaining 3 KAT-TUN members: Koki, Junno and Maru. Normally, i’m a Koki biased, but since i’ve found these 3 wallpapers first, i’ll post them today. So here we go!

Check out the Akanishi Jin wallpaper first! (love this wallpaper)

Kamenashi Kazuya wallpaper (which is again, really awesome).

And the third awesome wallpaper of Ueda.

Huge thank you to the persons who made these wallpapers!

Jaa ne!

Akanishi Jin to leave KAT-TUN?…

Yo minna! I don’t even know how to start posting this, but it’s going to be a very long post. I consider myself a KAT-TUN fan. I may not have followed them from the begining and i may not know all of their songs and i may not have watched all of Cartoon KAT-TUN episodes and i might not know their birthdates (i even forget my own) and i may not know every aspect of their careers (i just recently found out about yarakashi for example), BUT what i do know for a fact is that KAT-TUN is made of Kamenashi Kazuya, Akanishi Jin, Taguchi Junnosuke, Tanaka Koki, Ueda Tatsuya and Yuichi Nakamaru. All six of them.

If you are a KAT-TUN fan, you might have heared the rumours about Akanishi Jin leaving KAT-TUN. An article was even posted on the very well known site Tokyograph. You can read that article here. Even Wikipedia updated KAT-TUN’s page placing Jin’s name as a former member. Many fans are heartbroken, others still hope these will stay just rumours, others are able to see a positive side of Jin leaving. Me, i’m heartbroken. What about Akame?

What about… Actually, fans have already did this better than i could ever do it, so here’s something to make you smile, even laugh, make you sad or get you all melancholic.

KAT-TUN without Jin… Can’t imagine it. Here’s what Akanishi Jin wrote in his Manual:

“Hello everyone it’s been long, I am Akanishi.

After finishing LA’s live,
I am now preparing for the America’s tour
Am making new songs now.

I think everyone probably already know
This time round, I am proceeding to go solo.

If there is something to be said, it is that the direction is different.
Definitely not because I hate the members,
or that there are conflicts in our relationships or anything like that.
Everyone please be rest assured (laughs)
I like everyone.

About KAT-TUN, regarding small or big matters,
I have given a lot of trouble up till now,
sorry, thank you.
And it has been fun ( I have been happy ) *can be both ways

No matter what, allowing the supporting fans
to feel confused about these,
I am deeply sorry,
sorry.

Well, everyone.
Although the atmosphere seems like everything is ending
But this does not mean I will stop activities,
Basically everything up still now is not going to change.

Singing, Acting and dance would all continue.

Just that to myself, it is like the concert in LA
If in the future, i could have activities in America, Asia, Europe etc
all sort of countries, it would be good.
Of course, I would want to have more activities in Japan as well, I humbly ask for your care and favour.

Please take care of me. (Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu)

Akanishi Jin”

What do you make of this?…

Johnny Kitagawa said: “I’m only thinking about Jin’s success in the U.S. It’s not good if I spoil him by telling him ‘come back to KAT-TUN if you fail in the U.S.’  All I can do for him is to support whatever he wants to do in the U.S.”

Kitagawa also stated that there is no need to worry about KAT-TUN’s disbandment.

SPREAD THE WORD! SUPPORT KAT-TUN

A support message for KAT-TUN I guess it’s pretty official now that Jin is leaving KAT-TUN. It’s a hard time for us but i’m sure it’s even harder for the 5 members, and maybe for Jin too. How about letting the boys know that we’re supporting them and will always support them no matter how many members they have left by sending them a message to their radio shows. A short and simple supportive (not blaming or bashing) message would be nice. If you think this is a good idea, here’s the address:

KAT-TUN style (Junno & Koki): kat-tun@allnightnippon.com

Kase by Kase (Kame): kazuya@allnightnippon.com

R-ONE KAT-TUN (Ueda & Maru): kat-tun@joqr.net

Well… i’ll stop here… for now… This post is THE longest post on my blog… Never thought the longest post on my blog would be so sad…

Jaa …
