The Snapping Point

Remember this ballerina guy who came onto the Mannequin Must Item corner!?

I kept wondering where I had last seen him; it turns out that he acted in Kamenashi's drama, "Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge"! As a Casanova type, no less!

Apparently Youtube still is a treasure trove of videos despite the crackdown from all the Japanese TV networks. Well, this is safe, since it's Korean variety. In this video, Kara and a few other Korean celebrities talk about Arashi, and Jun in particular. Catch Kara being all starstruck and gushing over sharing an elevator with J!

I made my own petition banner. The quotes written here are credited to the fans who are currently petitioning for it, I take responsibility for only the design.

Okay, another one of those random questions that I have from this week's HnA Share House. 



Did anyone else notice this? She even missed out on one round of the Arashi game because of it. 

Hmmmmm...

Since I started a pixiv account recently, I scanned some fanart I did years ago when I was an avid manga fan. (I still am, but I've lost touch with sketching since.)

Himura Battousai, who will be one of the greatest mango protagonists that ever was.


Naruto, from chapter 405. This was sketched with a pen in 2012, but I couldn't get the proportions right so Naruto ended up looking much older than he really was.

( Naruto and an original sketch under the cut! )

This week's VSA was great, but I won't post any spoilers here for now, although I may do a review of the episode in a later post. 

Enjoy Ohno's Sleep Working poster here for the time being! (The sleep working term is the lovely creation of kyraensui)

This video just eloquently explained why I learnt to translate in my free time even though I had to juggle it with my job. It's so satisfying when people are able to use words and elaborate on a truth. It's a gift.

Fans are really spoiled this season, aren't they? Each time I pass by the magazine section in the bookstore I keep seeing new TV magazines featuring either Aiba or Ohno. I just bought a copy of SODA and +act mini today, here are some photos from them. I apologize for the quality of the pictures as I took them with a digital camera, not a scanner. I'm quite particular about the state of my magazines so I won't be scanning these.



Other than the dubious blue patterned fabric lining the jacket's sleeve, I love the styling for this photo shoot. Ohno's skin color goes with the red jacket in this case, and the addition of the black necklace makes the neck look longer.

The following was taken from Director Okamura Shunichi's Twitter:



"Although this is just from my memory, the top 5 actors who can most quickly memorize their scripts are (in Japanese alphabetical order), Ohno Satoshi, Saotome Taichi, Chihara Junior, Nishijima Takahiro, Baba Toru. The speed at which these 5 people can memorize is greatly surpasses the capacity of the average person."

Okamura Shinichi is a director of stage plays and has written the script for PLAYZONE.
