cross-posted from my LJ, just my thoughts on this episode of Shounen Club, and also because Rory says she has been missing my reviews, so here it is haha~~
hello, konbannu~~! it's been a long time since i've written a Shokura review, and since i didn't feel like filming and editing a vlog for this time, i'm going to write one haha. there's an advantage to this i guess, since i will talk about all the performances instead of just one or two xD i might not go through all the talk parts though haha. anyway, let's get to it! :D
the theme for this week's episode is "Love," very fitting, since it's the week of Valentine's Day :D the opening medley starts off with Sexy Zone singing "Lady Diamond," which i haven't heard in a while, and it's so cute xD they changed the pants to the costume though haha, cuz the ones they had before were cropped and their socks showed. guess it's cuz MariSou grew taller haha, so they just changed the pants for all of them xD next up was A.B.C-Z with "Zutto Love". i spotted Mizuki~~! :D full of energy right from the very start as usual haha. it's kind of nice to see Mizuki closer to the center these days, but he's still often in the back row...it would be nice if he could be up front, maybe even mirroring with Tera, because i think the two of them would make a great dance combi. and speaking of Tera, can i just mention how good he looks with his hair shorter right now? :D and then Yabu-kun and Yuto comes out to sing "Romeo and Juliet," and it's still such a cute song!! and the chibi Jrs, omg, so adorbs!! and Tani~~!! jfkadjfa; he was there in the back xD i think he was mirrored with Kaihou, which i found interesting, since he's usually paired with Kuri-chan. come to think of it, we haven't really been seeing Kuri-chan around D: but Rinne was center in the back!! and then Shunei was paired with Muraki, which was interesting...i'm still wondering if Katsuki had quit :( i really loved him, and he was just so hilarious with Muraki, they were the most awkward mirror combi ever and never failed to crack me up. glad to see Shunei getting a bit more spotlight though.
next medley was a Jr. medley, and that was a lot of fun~~! Genki lead V6's "Ai Nanda," and holy crap, i barely recognized Kaoru there! he suddenly looks so grown up!! Genki is so cute though omg <3 and yay! Fuu was getting some more camera time!! then the next group of Jrs came out with "Love You Only," and i think i started to love this song a lot because of Playzone xD it was a really good performance, and i'm sooo proud of Manaya!! he's joined not long ago, but i can tell he's trying really hard. it was a really interesting grouping of Jrs though. glad to see that Kaihou is back in action again, and Tani too~~!! omg, was there even a time when he was one of the main Jrs on stage? he got to be one of the mains in that song, singing AND dancing, omg so happy~~!! and he's still such a handsome baby <3 he really shines on stage :D he's so tall though lol, towers over everyone xD but then Kaihou has also grown super tall too. he was still a chibi Jr when i first saw him on Jr. Land!! they grow so fast!! next, Reia, Yusei, and Takahashi Kaito performs KisuMai's "Ai no Beat," and of course, Reia and Yusei bring out their skating equipment to show off. to be honest, Reia doesn't really do a lot of tricks on stage, but i love Yusei's rollerskating. he's so adorbs, is he really in high school? xD although his skateboarding wasn't too impressive to me, i have to say i think Reia really owned the singing and dancing in this performace, and his appeal on the camera was really good. no longer a pretty princess anymore xD and Fuu's headspin~~!! it's been too long since we last saw him do that haha.
talk with Sexy Zone, and they show pictures of things that they love right now. i found it really cute that Sou bought a stuffed capybara because he thought it looks like himself and he sleeps with it. and Marius would be the very first one to say that it's cute xD and i'm sure he meant that Sou was cute for sleeping with a stuffed capybara lol. and Sou totally reminded me of Chinen when he was like, "Cute right? I know I am." xD
Sexy Zone then performs "We Gotta Go" from their new album, and although the costumes were different, camera time was pretty even, and no one was treated like a back dancer, so yay for that :D however, it would've been better if MariSou could get some solo parts to sing. those costumes reminded me of space rangers or something though lol. but i love this song, and it was a nice performance <3
next was the Kansai segment, and Hama-chan and Akito performed some card magic for us. i saw the trick that Hama-chan did before, i think Nino did it before on one of Arashi's shows, but Nino did it in a way that made it more exciting xD i guess it's all about the way you present the trick haha. but it was funny that they used Kanjani8 cards to do the tricks xD and i know KinKan didn't do anything for Kanjani Tsuushin this time, but i was just staring at Hirano Sho whenever he was in the frame lol, he's so cute and handsome!!
next was A.B.C-Z's performance of ~5 Stars~ and i think it might have been filmed in Osaka, since a bunch of Kansai Jrs appeared. i didn't know any of the kids in purple lol. why aren't they ever introduced anywhere? i don't know any of the fresh Kansai Jrs lol. and Sho lol, i don't know why, he still gives off an airhead vibe even as he's dancing on stage, it's so cute lol. and it was nice to see Bunichi there! too bad Ryuta wasn't with them also.
after that was the performance of "Mirai no Saiden," which was a song that they apparently performed in this year's Johnny's World. i was flipping out when i heard Kauan and Kishi-kun singing solo parts!! Kishi-kun wins it all for me, fdjka;adj i LOVE his singing voice!~ it just sounds really different from his talking voice, but it's soooo beautiful!! and Kauan, i think his voice is just really suiting for musicals xD and it's been a while since we've seen Kauan on Shokura, so good to see him :D
skipping over Shokura Yuubin and Ebi's performance of Vanilla, don't have much to say about it haha, except FumaKen skinship is love <3 xD
after that, they had a select group of Jrs come out and say lines to confess their love, except they didn't make up the lines, it was given to them, and O.M.G. Genki's was just too precious~~!! he had to confess to a teacher, and i saw gifs of it, and in the gifs, he looked totally comfortable with saying it, but when i actually saw it, oh my gosh, it was so cute! he sounded so nervous, but that adorable smile didn't disappear, and ah, it was too cute!! Yasui-kun looks sooo good in his black hair though <33 and i totally didn't even think about how Jesse and Genki are the same age, until they mentioned it. totally trips me up, and i always forget that. they were asking how Jesse can be so sexy even though he's the same age as Genki and Shori lol. i think i might wanna sub this segment haha, it was too good xD
next was another Jr. medley, and Kyomocchan performed a song that he wrote, called "Tears." it's just the most pretty but sad song ever. and gosh, he just looked so pretty singing it too. i hope one day he can debut and release this on CD, because it's soooo nice!! then Yasui-kun and Masuda Ryo performed "Inori," one of my favorite KisuMai songs ever :D and they did a pretty nice rendition of it too. and i have to say, lately, i have been finding Yasui-kun to be pretty darn sexy lol. i don't know why he just is. up until now, i thought he looked young for his age (he still does actually xD), but now he has a manlier air around him.
Jr. ni Q, i might sub this too, so i'm going to not go too deep into it, but i have to say that Takahashi Kaito is growing on me. he really is adorable xD and Ippei, omg, i was thrown off with how grown-up and manly his voice sounds lol. but dang that kid has put on a lot of muscle!
the three members of Johnny's West performs next, and i was happy to see that Mizuki was in the front for this performance :D and i love the song "Ee janai ka" haha, because for songs like this, Mizuki always has way more energy than usual and he jumps around so much, it's so fun to watch xD
the show ends with "Ai no Katamari" and omg they all looked so good in those outfits!! Juri looked so skinny though ;__; someone go stuff him with hamburgers please!! and Kouchi-sensei *whistles* oh my goodness, so handsome lol. and once again, Mizuki was in this performance again, and he was quite close to the center so it was really easy to find him :D i loved how his expression was just kakkoii as he was performing the song, but then as soon as it was over and they waved goodbye, he switched to cute face again xD
and then the omake again with Shori and Jesse was cute since Shori made Jesse say the line that he said in the filming haha, and that's where you can see that Jesse is actually a super cute dork and not the cool sexy beast that everyone thinks he is lol. still throws me off to think that the two of them are the same age, because no matter how i look at it, Shori looks like the younger one there xD and also cuz Jesse is a giant lol.
this month's performances were quite nice, and i can't wait for next month's! :D
