bought some magazines yesterday at Kinokuniya when i went to get a textbook for my Japanese class, and decided to talk about it and flip through it with everyone xD also sort of talked about some Jrs while i was at it, but the main point of this was just to flail about the photos xD

Double new Jr. Vlogs
i forgot to post the the third vlog here last time haha, so i'm gonna post that along with the new one that i just uploaded today :) the first one, Jr. Vlog #3 talks about the performance of Swan Song by Matsuku and GenGen from the most recent episode of Shokura, and i also talked a bit about Tani :D i talked more about the Jrs than the performance haha, so don't worry, these aren't going to be redundant even if you've already read Rory's review :)
the second one is a bit lengthy since i introduced like 13 Jrs without realizing it haha, but i talked about the Earth Medley from the same episode. i talked about the 4 current members of Sexy Boyz: Iwahashi Genki, Jinguji Yuta, Miyachika Kaito, and Kishi Yuta. i also talked about some of the other Jrs that backdanced for them, and so i ended up talking about a lot of the Jrs, and i didn't even introduce everyone haha. but anyway, here is the newest vlog :D

Shounen Club Review January 8th 2014
Well it's the start of the new year, and with this new new year I would like to start it off with doing bi-monthly Shokura reviews. The first episode this month was on January 8th.
It starts out with Jesse and Matsumura Hokuto introducing the program. And can I say, I have never heard Jesse speak such horrible English before. I know he can speak pretty clear English so I don't know what's up with that. They start out singing Let's Go To Earth and then are later joined by other juniors like noon boyz, Shintaro, Yugo,Yasui, etc. Then ABC-Z and Sexy Zone follow to perform the song. It's a pretty great performance, full of energy. Everyone was looking good and the dancing was very in sync. As much as I've heard the song, I loved this performance. Tho, those pink costumes of Sexy Zone just have to go. I'm bored with them.
Then during the MC they introduced the theme as Earth. During this MC so many things were happening. Kikuchi Fuma has been really touchy feely with Yuto lately and I squealed a bit when he wrappedhis arm around Yuto's side there. Anyways, there was a bunch of random English words spoken by Marius and Kento. It was amusing. And Yabu being all over Tottsu was just amazing. I love how those two are so close. And also, Nakajima Yuto started growing taller again after so many years of not growing...How is that fair? He is very noticeably taller than Yabu now. And his brown hair is throwing me off a little bit.
Next was the first jr medley. Iwahashi Genki started it off with perfoming Marui Chikara. Ippei, Fuu, Matsukura Kaito, and GenGen were his backdancers/singers. And we had the chibikos in the background helping with the song. Although, some like, Tamamoto Fumito, Inoue Mizuki, and Hashimoto Ryo are almost graduating from being chibikos. Those babies are getting big. Next was Jinguji Yuta performing SMAP's Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana. TANIMURA STICKS OUT OKAY!!! Him and his tallness. 179cm...even tho Carmen and I thought he was over 180cm already. Gosh, still 15 years old. Then Miyachika Kaito comes out with Music for the people. Kuramoto Kaoru (Kuramocchi) isn't looking so mochi anymore even in this recording. That kid is growing like a weed and he's starting to look stretched. Alarming!! Oh Amu hi there, I see you. Then Kishi Yuta came out with Nakamura Reia, Kakuta Yusei, and that other Kaito with the unique voice. XD Yusei really caught my attention with his brown hair in this one. And during the song they were joined by Genki and Jin-chan. Then they did Beat Your Heart.
Next was the talk with Sexy Zone. I don't understand Japanese as well as Carmen does so I will just talk about things and ramble on. Sou was the first to speak yay!! Holy crap tho. MariSou are growing up really fast...but Sou is actually starting to look older than his age which is not what I expected to happen with him. Marius yes, him no.
Next was the performance of Congratulations by Sexy Zone. I really don't get why MariSou are left out again, but whatever. The song is so gorgeous. Their new album is going to be even more amazing than their first album. I'm so glad I bought it. The singing in the song is just so smooth and the choreography is very pleasing to the eye. I have had this song on repeat on my computer for the last 3 days actually. I just love it that much. And I have to say, Shori's voice is sounding better than before.
Next was Kininaru KJ with Kaneuchi. I don't really know him, but I am glad they are starting to pull out other juniors besides the ones that are normally out in front.
And then we have the Kanjuu performance of Next Stage. Although, with the new Kansai debut, Shigeoka Daiki, Nakama Junta, Kiriyama Akito, and Kotaki Nozomu are no longer juniors. This was a top notch performance as always. I always really love the Kanjuu performance because they are so intense and lively. It puts stars in my eyes. And again I want to say how happy I am that my baby Shige is getting officially debuted!!
Special guest was Uchi Hiroki. He sang with Ishigaki Daisuke and Goto Hiromi in the back. Gosh now I am missing Question?. He sang Believe My Story. I found this song to be very beautiful and I really loved Uchi's singing here.
Next is something new? Ki ni naru chikyukun??? I am gunna skip this part.
After that is ABC-Z's performance of one of their many new songs Space Beat. It's very unique and I'm kinda really loving it. Kawai announced a CD debut for the group. I wonder if they have been working on songs like this one. This sog has a very unique sound and rhythm that I'm not used to hearing. I hope there are more songs like this one.
Nest is Shokura Yuubin with Nakajima Kento and Kikuchi Fuma. This time, they bring out Yuma. And jeez...Yuma is wearing the same shirt that Fuma was wearing in a recent photo shoot. I love how FumaKen are teasing the heck out of Yuma when they start breaking out singing Darkness. Gosh, poor Yuma, lol. Then the former jr group B.A.D. come out to join them. Yay for them debuting! Congrats!!
Next is more juniors yay! Jesse comes out to sing a Kinki Kids song. Is it me, or does he sing a lot of Kiki Kids songs?? Wah! I spy Teranishi Takuto back dancing. I have really fallen for that guy. He's so handsome!!
Then there is a VTR about Sexy Zone doing Kohaku. They go behind the scenes with Arashi and it's just really fun to see. Poor Fuma tho getting hurt during rehearsal. Although it was funny to see, I still felt bad for laughing.
And then up next is the duet between Matsuda Genta and Matsukura Kaito. Gosh, Matsuku is looking a little bit bigger and older here. I was surprised. He's finally grown a couple cm instead of being stuck at 160. I'm so proud. GenGen is looking really handsome too. As for the performance. I was more impressed with the dancing than I was with their dinging. These two are such powerful dancers. It's no wonder they always get mirrored for most performances.
Then it was the performance of We Gotta go by Sexy Zone. This is such a fun song and it makes you want to dance. It's super catchy and I love the fact that they started out performing in the audience. It made it that much more fun to watch. What caught my attention the most during this performance though, was when Sou patted Mari on the but a few times to let him know it's time to move. Most people wouldn't catch that, but even with my bad eyes I somehow managed. :3
Then Shori's omake with Nakama Junta!!! It's always cute. Janken pon again...but holy crap, is Junta trying to kill Shori? XD
Overall it was a pretty good episode. It wasn't the best but it was definitely something that kept my attention. It lacked Shintaro though....but I'm always complaining that there's not enough Shintaro so don't mind me.
Now to wait for next week's episode.

Jr. Vlog #2-SC Dec 2013 Highlights
yaho~~, i made a second vlog today~ :3 still kind of awkward and i'm still trying to get used to talking to the camera lol, but i hope in terms of noise and volume that it's much better than last time. i don't have any good cameras at home, so i recorded with my iTouch, which is like way better than my laptop's webcam xD
so this time i talked about two performances from last month's Shounen Club, which were the Yabu Kota solo medley, and Shining Star, a duet by Inoue Mizuki and Totsuka Shota. i also talk a bit about other featured Jrs in the performances, such as Teranishi Takuto, and Miyachika Kaito.
