I discovered last week that one of my friends in my Japanese class is on mixi, so I ~~demanded~~ casually asked for an invite. I got the e-mail today, spent much longer than I should have trying to decipher it, and now I'm all signed up~ Here's my sad excuse for a main page. I'll have to take some time and figure out how everything works later, maybe over the weekend.

In other news, I think I'm a little bit in love with this picture. I'm not sure why. ♥ (It's bigger than it looks, by the way. Apparently his phone takes really big, good pictures -- why he's never taken advantage of that before is beyond me. Hopefully he'll always post big pictures from here on out~ ♥)

So, Setomaru's new drama starts on April 2nd, at 26:45, WHATEVER THE CRAP TIME THAT IS. Last time I checked, there were only 24 hours in a day. But anyway. Nagayan's new drama also apparently starts that day.

...Am I the only person that finds it weird that Nagayan is going to be a regular character in a new drama? Doesn't he usually only do guest appearances these days? I've never been able to keep track of all the stuff he's done -- has he ever been a regular character on a drama?

Ah well. Needless to say, I'm rather looking forward to April 2nd. ♥

And April in general, actually, as the release date of Oishi's album has been announced! April 25th, yay~ ♥ I wonder if he'll have a song with Eiji? :D

...Hmm. I should really probably get something constructive done tonight. Like my homework...

[EDIT]: I was all ready to get off the computer and do some homework, but pretty-boy updated, so that plan got delayed. No picture, but the post is adorable enough on its own -- they had a kitten on OhaSuta, and he's talking about how cute it was. ♥ I hope I can find a clip of that on YouTube... Also, his February photos have been posted to

oha_setomaru, and....gah. Those are the pictures I went a little nuts about when I found them on Yahoo! auctions~ He gets better-looking every month, it's insane.

...So yeah. Homework has suddenly become much less important than staring at pictures. ♥

Someone posted a link on

oha_setomaru to a OhaSuta video clip from the Februrary 15th show. :D That's just two days ago~ And those February photos did not lie, his hair is looking very nice lately. ♥ It's darker than it was, although I can't tell if it's just fading and growing out, or if he dyed it again.

...Yes, these are the things I spend time thinking about. :D

I was planning on writing tonight, but after anime club I instead felt like watching something. And since it's been, y'know, so long since I'd watched RokkakuMyu, me and my roommate watched that. :D

And, I realized something. If by some miracle I actually ever get to see a TeniMyu performance with the current cast, I wouldn't be able to give a nice, detailed report on it. I'd be able to give a nice, detailed report of one particular character, but that'd be about it. :D 'Cause even after as many times as I've seen RokkakuMyu, when Setomaru's on the screen, he's all I watch. ♥

Of course, the same holds true for Tuti, and for Nagayan when he's in something Tuti's not.

What can I say, I have a one-track mind when it comes to my favorite actor boys. :D

In completely unrelated news, Psych is totally my favorite American TV show. Well, it was already, but if it hadn't been, tonight's episode would have made it my favorite. There was tennis, at least one slashy comment, Japan, and the word "synchronize" -- all in the first 10 minutes. :D The show is also just hilarious in general -- although I am, admittedly, ridiculously easily amused. ♥

AND YAY THAT I DIDN'T POST THIS YET BECAUSE I NOW HAVE TO SPAZZ PROPERLY BECAUSE ASKDJFWONGOISW

OISHI IS FINALLY GETTING AN ALBUM. ♥♥♥

I shall now sigh happily in anticipation of AN ENTIRE ALBUM FULL of that voice. *siiiiiigh~~* ♥

*changes icon to reflect spazziness* :D

Current Mood: excited

But I'm posting anyway. :D

So, I've now entered the crazy world of SMJ and Yahoo! Japan auctions. And discovered just how very, very easy it is to click that little button and bid on something.

But the pictures are pretty, so it's justified. :D

Today in Japanese class we started learning keigo. Keigo is, in a word, EVIL. And I like how our teacher's all "Yeah, it's hard, and no one really uses it right anyway -- but it's important for you to learn it!" Ah well. At least I got a full score on the kanji quiz today! :D

I'm tired~ And I have to get up at...5, I think, in the morning to watch the RJM II broadcast. And then I have to watch tomorrow night's Panic Studio...let's see if I can stay up that long without needing a nap :D

...My post is very :D-filled today. :D

Hmm. I'm looking back over the lyrics for "Type wa D!," and I have a question...For Eiji's answer to Oishi's question:

"A. Tsune ni shinka shiteru
Tensai ni shikaku wa nashi! Dakara SINGLES!"

fencer_x, your translation uses "you," but could he be talking about himself there? For some reason, when I read it before, I was reading that as an in-general "you," which didn't make a whole lot of sense, but then, that's nothing new as far as Japanese songs go. Reading it now I realize it's probably refering to either Eiji or Oishi -- but which one? If it's about Eiji, it's just him being silly and cocky, but if it's about Oishi....it's ADORABLE. Saying Oishi's so good that he doesn't really need Eiji, so Eiji prefers singles. So...now I'm curious. Either interpretation could lead to Oishi's "Are you serious?!" ...But I wonder if Oishi's interpretation was the right one? :D *thinking too much about it*

You know how when you're looking at things in Windows Explorer, and if you hold your mouse over something extra info will pop up about it? File type, size, and if it's an MP3 sometimes the artist and album, and for images, the resolution.

Well, er...for some of the blog pictures I have saved, some other information also pops up.

Namely, the date and time the picture was taken, as well as the model of the camera.

By putting the camera models into Google, we get...

Tuti's camera

Setomaru's phone

Unfortunately, it doesn't give me the extra info for Tuti's blog pictures taken with his phone instead of his digital camera, or for Nagayan's pictures. Which kind of takes the fun out of it, because I totally could have figured out exactly when some of those pictures were taken...

Still, knowing what kind of phone Setomaru owns amuses me. :D

Current Mood: dorky and stalkerish

I'm at home now, yay! And on the home computer, not-so-yay. I'll have to get my own set up in my room sometime soon. I will be writing (and reading) fanfiction like crazy for the next month. At least, that's the plan. ♥

Anyway, I've been at home for less than 2 hours and I've already gotten my mom to watch part of an episode of DD-Boys. :D

My mom, while watching: "Do all Japanese boys act gay?"

Me: "Yeah, pretty much."

Teehee. ♥ Hmm...I bet I could get her to watch one of the musicals if I tried. Sounds like a job for Dream Live 1st~

Current Mood: I want to ta~lk

Off to Chicago tomorrow! The JLPT is Sunday; tomorrow we're going to hang around, and if the weather and the roads are manageable we'll be going to a Japanese supermarket and bookstore. (Japanese bookstore....*longing*) If we get to go (and oh I hope we do), I'll be trying very, very hard not to spend all the money I have. If they have PoT manga, I make no promises, though. :D

Also, I really hope I pass this test. You only have to get 60% to pass, so I'll feel like a real idiot if I fail.

Anyway, in other news, I have decided for some reason or other that this year I want to send out Christmas cards! I bought some really cute ones yesterday. :D If anyone wants one, lemme know~ You can leave a comment so I'll know who to expect e-mails from (I'm a little paranoid), and then e-mail me your address at miraikaede@gmail.com. Just make sure to include your lj name, so I'll know who you are, and the name you want me to put on the envelope. :)

nacchi_camui, you already posted your address, so you're definitely getting a card. :) Uh...as soon as I figure out how to send mail internationally. :D

Which brings me to my -- Okay, interrupting my own sentence to say that I'm currently listening to the Dream Buster CD, and....TUTI. YOU...JUST...TUTI. THE VOICE...IT KILLS ME. He's like "Look, I can be a voice actor too~" Oh, Tuti. ♥ Also, is it just me or does MoriEiji sound just like Momo in this?

...Back to what I was saying...I'm a crazy fangirl and I wanna send Christmas cards to a certain few boys in Japan. ♥ Namely Tuti, Nagayan, Setomaru, TakiYuki, and Mamo. Haha, I don't even know how weird getting a Christmas card would be for them, but I also don't really know how much I care. :D I just have to find addresses for all of them...and figure out how to send mail internationally, as aforementioned.

ぢゃ、クリスマスプロジェクトスタート！

Today in Japanese we received our assignment for our final writing composition of the semester. This is what the instructions say:

あなたの好きな有名人について書いてください。

For those who can't read it, that says "Please write about your favorite celebrity."

It took me the whole semester, but I FINALLY GET TO TALK ABOUT TUTI FOR A CLASS. :D

We have to write at least three pages (of the funny paper with the boxes), but I think for once that won't be a problem. The hard part will be not mentioning Nagayan... ♥

And with this, I'll be more or less disappearing for the next week or so. I have a project and a presentation and a paper and tons of Japanese stuff to work on and study for (the JLPT is this weekend, ahhhh), so fandom-stuff will have to be put on hold for a while. :(

Well, I'll still be checking things every once in awhile, just to make sure no one, like, comes out or anything. But I have to ignore the GP Fortnight for a little while, including the ones I missed over Thanksgiving. *sniffle* But, then I have RokkakuMyu to look forward to when I'm done with everything~

Current Mood: not as stressed as I should be
Current Music: Gilmore Girls on TV

I've really got to start paying more attention to things. I didn't notice Nagayan said he was going out of the country until he said he got back. I wonder where he went? And why?

They've added new stuff to the Tenimyu site~ They have the first two "Close Up" interviews up (featuring Seigaku), as well as new site diaries. TakiYuki and Setomaru are in several pictures together, which makes me happy. ♥ The 3rd-gen Golden Pair finally gets a match in this musical! I wish they didn't have to lose. :(

Random: on the NaNo forums for "Other Genres," there's a thread titled "Is anyone writing straight fiction?" My thoughts upon first reading this: "Er, well, I'm not, but that's kind of an odd -- ohhh, they probably mean 'regular' fiction. Oookay then."

Oh, also, for anyone who might have been interested, my topic for my research paper is "the role of women in Japanese politics." Now I just have to figure out a thesis, find some references, and type up an outline. By tomorrow. This is in addition to writing a composition for Japanese, as well as studying for the oral quiz tomorrow. :D

Current Mood: 病気になると思う・・・

Like I said before, Wednesday was my birthday. ♥ My mom showed up outta nowhere in the morning, because apparently she didn't think I had enough planned for my 21st birthday. She got here while I was at work, but they let me leave, and so we had some time to kill before I had to go to classes.

( Cut 'cause it got kinda long )

Current Music: my roommate's watching The 6th Sense

In my Asian Politics class, we have to write a 10-15 page analytical research paper. We can pick our own topic, but that's the problem -- I have no idea what to write about. I would like it to involve Japan, but beyond that I'm at a loss.

So, I'm practically begging for suggestions, here. The topic is supposed to be somewhat specific, but it can be about pretty much anything as long as it somehow relates to politics in Asia. Of course, it has to be something I can find enough previous research on to write 10 pages about.

Look, I'll even bribe you -- if someone has an idea I can use, I'll write or draw you something. I'm not promising anything spectacular, but it'll be something, at least.

...Help? Please? ♥
