Arioka Daiki is an old man. If he was in Kansai Juniors I bet he'd be hanging out with Uchi and Subaru.

I want to rename Asaka Koudai as "Ikuta Touma" so I can pretend Touma's still young and cute. He's gotten so OLD lately! While Asaka looks more and more like young Touma!

The more magazine articles I read, the more I love Masuda, am kind of annoyed by Koyama, and..confused about Ryo. I don't know whether I like the way he acts or not. I really..am full of Masuda love for some reason at the moment.

I bought a stuffed onigiri (rice ball) and named it Maruchan. And my friend got a stuffed takosan weiner (you know, those..octopus-shaped hot dog things) and named it Piroki. They go to karaoke with us. (This isn't Johnny's related..)

I wonder if Uchi ever scolds Subaru for holding chopsticks weird.

Hayashi Matori is cuter in person.

I love the Choco Monaka Jambo radio CM where Tsuyoshi asks Kouichi, "if you were reborn, would you rather be born as choco or monaka?" Tsuyoshi sounds so silly and cute.

Recomen disconnected while I was in class, so I didn't get any of the NEWS portions. I downloaded what I GUESS was the NEWS guest part, but it was only 4:30 including song and that seems so ridiculously short. (It was Massu btw). I'm also in the process of getting Kchan News, which I guess had Kusano as the guest. Most of all, I'm looking forward to Thursday's show so I can hear a NEWS member interact with Yoko and Hina~ :happy: I'm hoping it's not Uchi or Ryo, simply because it'll turn into a Kanjani thing and there won't be any inter-group-ness. Tegoshi would be fun~

That reminds me~ At the end of last Thursday's Recomen, Yoko and Hina had this conversation ("borrowed" from a BBS^^; but [poorly] summarized by me)

Yoko: We don't know which member of NEWS will come, but who do you want to?
Hina: Me, I want Koyama-kun to come. Who do you want to come?
Yoko: I want everyone to come.
Hina: Everyone? What if you had to say one person?
Yoko: No, I want everyone to come. I like everyone!
Hina: (laugh)
Yoko: You want only Koyama-kun, right? I want eeeeeveryone to come.
Hina: I didn't say "only"..
Yoko: I like eeeveryone!
[skip]
Hina: I also want everyone to come.
Yoko: No, you want only Koyama-kun. Cause if Katou-kun or someone came, you'd constantly step on his feet, right?

Hopefully it's amusing despite my terrible "summary"~ ^^;

I GOT EXCITE!!!!!!

From April 1st's Friday Super Countdown 50 on Bunka Housou/JOQR 1134kHz:
2. Arashi "sakura sake"
1. NEWS "Cherish"

Narutomo-- (April something-or-other; I'm lazy^^
Subaru said that he doesn't like to wear socks.
They talked about the Johnny's Jr. calendar, and showed the picture of Subaru holding flowers, and they talked about it with him..then poor Tacchon, they showed the picture of him (along with Uchi, Yassu, and Maru) shirtless *g* He said that originally he has his arms crossed, but because Uchi is so thin, he was told not to cross them (I guess so Uchi could cross his, cause it'd be weird for both to have them crossed).
Ryo has a pink iPod.
In their wallets, Subaru had a card for a shop called Chrome Hearts. They both had receipts from a soba restaurant called Shinanoji. Apparently the office will pay for up to 1000Y, so they got separate receipts (Subaru's total was 930Y) so the office would pay for both. Subaru was carrying 48,000Y, and Tacchon had 13,000Y.
Subaru had a library card, and .. something that mentioned the doctor's office he goes to (a card? not sure). Also, a bicycle claim check *g* (Like a..baggage check type thing?). Subaru specified multiple times that it was a moped. Tacchon has a karaoke point card from Big Echo.

I couldn't actually listen to Masuda's radio show, so here's some information from a Japanese fan report. If someone posts a transcript I'll update this, and if someone posts the actual show I'll write my own report.
The first song played was NEWS' "Cherish (Ryoji Remix)."
During his self-introduction, he said his habit is cracking his joints, and that his favorite thing is "eating." He was (and still is) scared of his dance teacher (Sanche-sensei I assume?), because he's a "genius."
NEWS borrow and loan CDs from and to each other, which has expanded their musical tastes.
Masuda is a B'z fan. When NEWS were on Music Station at the same time, he thought of telling them that he was a fan, but he didn't.
He introduced "yawaraka na mama de," which was written by Ketsumeishi.
There's a corner called "First Message" where he introduces a song based on a listener's message. Since there aren't any listeners yet, he presented his own message. "When you realize that there's someone you want to be with" was his message, and he played Mr. Big's "To be with you."
At the end he played "Cherish."

I just didn't want to post separate entries for these, cause they're so pointless^^;
