Eita is dating a singer?

Wow. I totally thought actor Eita (26) was still single, but apparently not. According to Tokyograph, he’s dating singer Kaela Kimura (24) since at least September when they both admitted it. Eita’s agency also said that they are seriously dating and met through a mutual friend. Kaela used to date SU from RIP SLYME.

In case you didn’t know or didn’t recognize him, Eita is famous for being in Last Friends, Voice, and Nodame Cantabile. As for Kaela Kimura, I don’t know her music that well but it’s rock and pop and she writes her own music.

Here’s a link to the scan of the article.

Considering this is months ago, I was quite surprised that no one made a big deal about it when it first came out. Although I suppose anything that’s not related to Johnny’s, wouldn’t really appear in on the net in English. Not only that, but actors have more opportunity of getting a love life since the only times they meet with fans or please them with their skills is on-screen. On the other hand, singers go on promotional events or variety shows that garner a lot more exposure, making them more popular and recognizable. Not only that, but a big part of the allure of singers is that they are single, unless of course they are old or they’re skilled and talented enough that being taken doesn’t effect the fanbase which gives singers a job (ex: Epik High). All actors have to care about is that their skill in acting is good enough to please the director in order to get the job, because fans don’t matter as much.

Anyway, I’m quite happy that all of my favorite awesome hot Japanese actors are all getting love lives. There was Matsuyama Kenichi, Mizushima Hiro, and Oguri Shun. Although Mizushima Hiro was the only one that actually married so far (I believe everyone came to a conclusion that it was a shotgun marriage? [as in Ayaka got pregnant so they married]). I wonder who’s next? I really want it to be someone with a huge fanbase, just to spite all those crazy disrespectful fans that always harass the girl/boy friend.

So you’ve been watching all those dramas online on Viikii or Mysoju or Drama-crazy. Sometimes they work, sometimes the link is broken and you just can’t watch it. Or for some series on Viikii, because of copyrights, you can’t watch your episodes of Asian dramas until a month later (aka Creating Destiny).

So where can you direct download them?

The answer is Let’s look.

Chinese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Korean dramas, all with English (or for some of them, French) subtitles. Most of them are soft subs (and in case you don’t know what that means, it means that the subtitles are embedded into the video file but rather a separate file).It also have the latest series like “Will It Snow for Christmas?”

But this forum doesn’t only have dramas, it has movies and variety shows all over Asia. Although the majority are Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese/Chinese.

CAUTION: Due to the large library of dramas they have and most of the episodes are uploaded onto MegaUpload.. you’re bound to repeated bump into the “Download limit exceeded” page a LOT. Also, if you are still in school or have a job, please don’t drop out or get fired because of downloading and watching dramas. And I mean it and don’t think it’s impossible because it is.

Matsuyama Kenichi might be getting married soon!!

Who’s Matsuyama Kenichi? You might know him as L from Death Note, the shallow boyfriend in 1 Liter of Tears, or the boyfriend who got stabbed in the episode of Tsubasa no Oreta Tenshitachi with Horikita Maki. (By the way, he’s starring in a movie with Horikita Maki, 誰かが私にキスをした (Somebody Kissed Me) based off of Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac. I’ll talk about that some other time but it’s basically about Maki being a kid in a Japanese international school and she lost her memories)

So Who’s Koyuki? She was the woman in Last Samurai that gets together with Tom Cruise and also the woman in Kimi Wa Petto with Matsumoto Jun.

Yes, Koyuki is older by like 9 years, but hey, marrying younger guys is the trend right now!

The most awesome part about this is that one of my friends saw him and Koyuki at the airport a couple of weeks ago. My friend and those two were on the same plane and of course when they got off, there was the paparazzi. The weird part is that I never got any news article about them. Then again, were they working on something? I’m not really sure.

Anyway, yay! Congrats to Matsuyama Kenichi and Koyuki! <3 I hope they get married and have awesome kids! I hope they continue with their careers too! I love both of them!

It’s so nice to hear celebrities admitting to their relationship and actually having a love life. More celebrities should get married or at least be able to date openly without any hostility from fans. Sometimes I wonder if fans are trying to make their idols sterile… Seriously, we need celebrities to pass down their beautiful genes to the next generation! So stop scaring all the potential lovers!

Here’s a series of news articles about them.

Music Station drama!

No, not like a Japanese drama, but like drama, fight drama.

Apparently the directors of the show got into a fight backstage which resulted in the one of them getting a broken nose. Ouch. The other director got demoted and others got a pay-cut.

I wonder what the problem was. It was the younger director that got hurt.. you think it was sempai-kouhai problems?

On another note, I’m glad that MC Tamori is close with all the staff. I wish there were more info out on the web about idol and backstage staff relations. I would love to work backstage. It would be so awesome.

No new updates

Hey everyone,

sorry for the lack of updates on my archives. The past couple of weeks have been Finals week, so I didn’t have enough time to spend on the internet to update the archives. It’s break right now and I’ve been slowly recovering from spending all my energy on Finals. So… I haven’t had a chance to update.

And to answer the question all of you guys might be wondering..

When am I going to update it?

I’ll update it this Friday or Saturday.

Although because I missed two weeks, I do apologize beforehand, in case I missed an update between the last time I updated and what I will update this week.

Anyway thanks and sorry to keep you waiting. Just wait a few more days and I hope you enjoy your Christmas!

Takaki gets Friday’d..

Why am I not surprised?

lol. Ever since I knew that he really cared about looking cool and his role model was Jin and he had that hair color and he cared about being tough and being a man and being a delinquent .. this was BOUND to happen. (Especially since I think he’s the only one that got in trouble with dating a girl because the purikura spread online.)

Besides, look at Yamapi and all the others who are like that. ~_~;; What would be REALLY interesting if someone like Daiki or Yaotome or Yabu or Sho or Koyama gets a girlfriend. Of course, I think they’ll be too careful to let themselves get caught. But yeah. Definitely ppl who don’t seem like party, drinking, bad boy ppl would be a lot more interesting.

It’s so nice that they’re growing up.

Besides, isn’t this good news? The girl he got caught with this time is 6 years older!

Looks like the trend of older women and younger men is really catching on! <3

Studying a foreign language but still not fluent enough? Need to practice your writing? Want to meet natives of the foreign language that you are studying? Lang-8.com can solve all of your problems. It’s almost like all other blogs out there, LJ, WordPress, Xanga, Blogger, etc. Except, you write in the language you are studying in, while natives in that language help correct it, sentence by sentence. At the same time, you correct their English or whichever language you are studying in. Through this exchange, you can learn about their lifestyles, while they learn yours. Perhaps one day you might even become good friends and meet each other in real life.

CAUTION: Most people there are college students or businessmen who are trying to become fluent for jobs. As of right now, there are not as many fangirls/fanboys, but nevertheless there are still some.

Yamada Ryosuke has a GF? maybe?

yay! people are growing up~

or well.. you know.. they have good friends that are the opposite gender. *gasp* I know, hard to believe right? which is why there’s a rumor going around that Yamada Ryosuke has a girlfriend~ because what else can they be? they hang out with each other all the time so that = a couple, right?

More info here.

On another note, I can’t wait for the day that someone in JE comes out of the closet. loool. xD

Anyway, fangirls, I wouldn’t cry my eyes out because of this rumor. We all know that JE idols are going to be single or at least unmarried until at least 30 because other fangirls are pissed off and well sometimes the agency intervenes so that their sales don’t die. So, relax.

Plus, aren’t most popular songs about heartbreaks? No pain, no gain. It’ll be good experience for Yamada.

Oh wait, they dont’ write their own songs so it wouldn’t matter, huh. (well besides the few in JE that DO write their own songs). Well, I guess it’ll just be good reference material for acting for Yamada.
