First off, the April episodes of Shonen Club will be recorded on March 22nd, and according to Johnny’s Net both Koyama and Nakamaru are scheduled to be there, so it seems they’re not graduating from Shonen Club any time soon.

And speaking of graduation, the theme of today’s Shonen Club was graduation, because it’s that time of the year. It was a very enjoyable episode and great fun to watch, with many little highlights, two of which I’m gonna post here today.

First, B.I.Shadow, because I love them. Hokuto and Yugo debunk all bullying rumours in the Anata no otegami kakimashou segments (Hotuko even calls Yugo “Kouchi sensei“, LOL, totally cute), followed by a performance of Lalalila.

Fuma has a new hairdo.It looks very good, I love it almost as much as his solo lines on Lalalila. ♥

And it seems that Johnny made some good use of his Yakuza connections by having them kill Yugo and replace him with a doppelgänger who doesn’t mess up anything. Not even the letter reading (except for a minor slip up right at the beginning), although he was kinda rushing through it as if he was trying to get it over with as quickly as possible. And after reading their letters both Yugo and Hokuto apparently got lost on their way to the stage so that they joined Nakaken and Fuma only for the second half of the song. But what’sですよ, Yugo, looking straight at the camera and pointing, who the hell taught you that?!? o.O Very nice, very nice indeed. It looks like almost a year of hard work is beginning to pay off. Go Yugo! ♥

My other personal favourite part of the show was the Sotsugyou Medley because it quite simply was Johnny’s Jr at its best….

Honestly, I could watch this video all day long. And I probably will.

And verily verily I say unto you, keep an eye on that Kishimoto Shintaro kid. He will have a great future in Johnny’s.

In other news, I’ve answered 144 questions on formspring in the last couple of days, yay. I stiil have a backlog of 22 at the moment, but I won’t reply to them today because I’m lazy and I want to spend the rest of my Sunday watching TV. Sorry ’bout that. Check back in a couple of days please.

I first rolled my eyes when I saw that today’s School Kakumei Live Stage was Hitomi no Screen again, but then I rather enjoyed it because it had the random addition of Daiki and Yuto, and because it didn’t take place in the usual School Kakumei setting at first. I thought that was a nice and welcome change. However, they went back to the original setting and the fingering near the end of the video, which I thought was completely unnecessary. Oh well.

Hello. My name is Kamichan. Welcome to my place.

A small number of random tidbits today, so where do we start? Okay, Arashi…

I hardly ever flail about Arashi the way I flail about Hey!Say!JUMP or some Juniors, but there is no doubt that Arashi is my favourite senpai group of them all. Their Iza, Now! album is the first Johnny’s CD I ever bought (on my first day in Tokyo the first time I went there), and every time I play it I#m overwhelmed by precious memories of that time. Arashi are awesome, and I think it’s safe to say that they are the most successful thing that ever came out of Johnny’s (right after SMAP of course). And to see that a Johnny’s group has the biggest selling single in the whole world this week just makes me insanely happy. Go Arashi!

For some strange reason Tegomass releasing a mini album on April 21st makes me insanely happy too. Tegomass are probably the strangest phenomenon in my own little world of Johnny’s because I really like this duo even though I don’t particularly like either Tegoshi or Masuda. It’s like putting together two types of food that you don’t like and the result is really tasty. I have no idea how that works, but apparently it does. Anyway, Tegomass no Ai is available for preorder from CD Japan and YesAsia.

Speaking of new releases, Hidarime Tantei EYE aired its final episode today, but you can already preorder the DVD box that will be released on May 26th and features all 8 episodes, but not the HTE Special that aired last October. This one has its own DVD that will be released next week and will have a making-of and other extra footage. Anyway, I’m looking forward to both releases because I’m a sucker for chart positions and I can’t wait to find out how well these two will do on the Oricon DVD charts.

And finally, Hey!Say!BEST need more love because let’s face it, they are pretty awesome…
