When asked why he’s only producing boy groups and no girls Mr Johnny-san once said “Boys are easier to handle”. Well, I don’t know about that. Girls may be bitchier, but taking care of a bunch of pre-pubescent boys is like taking care of a bag of fleas, and when they reach puberty they turn from a bag of fleas into a pack of hyaenas. Boys will be boys. They will throw dead insects at each other and they will eat things they’re not supposed to eat. They can’t help it. It’s in their genes.
The Snow Prince making-of is 19 minutes of pure and utter cuteness. They’re all so adorable that I wish it’d be 19 hours instead of 19 minutes. I uploaded three little scenes that are my favourites because… well, you’ll see.
First is the boys chasing each other with a dead bee. Second is Shintaro with a painful / shocked look on his face when Horinouchi hits a wrong note during rehearsals. And finally it’s Shintaro making a footprint in the artificial snow, which he obviously isn’t supposed to do, and eating the artfifcial snow which he probably isn’t supposed to do either.

It’s so funny how Shintaro as the 3rd oldest and probably most professional and most mature in the group is still so immature that he ought to be told not to eat the artificial snow as it’s probably toxic.
Oh, and one very interesting / funny thing I’ve noticed. In pretty much all the making-ofs I’ve seen so far everybody’s been drinking bottled water. It’s what everybody does these days, nothing funny about that. The boys of Snow Prince Gasshoudan drink bottled water too. But since very young boys tend to be rather messy and likely to soil themselves when they’re drinking straight from the bottle their bottled water looks like this:
And that’s just hilarious! XD
In other news, in the daily sales charts the single went down a notch. Snow Prince is now #5. Oh well.
