First of all, if you can’t make it to Hawaii today or on Saturday for screenings of Snow Prince, maybe you can make it to London in November. The London Children’s Film Festival will show Snow Prince at Barbican Cinema 1 on Saturday, November 21. For more information click the link in the sidebar.

So yeah. Very interesting. Yay for Takaki, Daiki and Yuto!
However, they don’t seem to get to do a whole lot of stuff. A bit of talking, but no performing except in the opening and ending medleys probably. Well, they don’t have anything to perform anyway.
And finally, on a personal note, there is good news and there is bad news.
The good news is: I’m writing a book, yay! As you may or may not know I stumbled into the Johnny’s fandom by accident when I was doing research for a book I wanted to write. Then I started this blog to overcome my writer’s block. 1500 blog posts later I’m inclined to think that it kinda worked, even though it’s not what I originally set out to do. It’s time for me to finally get back to my roots. I’ve already begun writing the manuscript, and it’s looking somewhat promising so far. The current plan is to publish it some time in 2010. And you’ll all be able to read it if you want to because I’m writing it in English. So yeah, I’m very excited and very motivated and… yeah.
The bad news is: I’m writing a book. That’s a very time consuming enterprise and also a mentally exhausting one. It means I may have to take my fandom activities down a notch or two. It doesn’t mean that I will stop blogging. I won’t. I will still update when there are things to update. However, I will probably have to spend less time replying to comments and less time trying to come up with a witty blog post when nothing is happening in the world of Hey!Say!JUMP and Johnny’s Jr.
It’s not that I’m going to write less. In fact, I’m going to write more. It’s just that you will have to wait until next year until you can read it. So please bear with me.
