Hey girls and guys! I have made a separate account on Twitter to send real time notes of what's happening with Sho's appearance at NYCC.

I made it to help with my report of the convention for AAA.net but I figured some people may actually want to follow it and check out what's the buzz.

You can follow it now or later but I will not begin updating until Friday, February 6th. The day of the event.

Spread the word! I am dedicating myself to it -- which wont be hard. I use my personal Twitter 24/7. LMAO

I already bought my plane ticket and my Comic Con pass.

Edit: Hotel's booked too! It's 100% Official~

Ohhhhh yes. I am traveling to NYC because it's Sho.

...It's Sho.

One more time, it's SHO.

Me missing him in my own country is like....insanity.

Who else is going. I wanna meet other fans~

Granted this isn't a rumor:

Day 1: +act scans
Day 2: Blonde Sho
Day 3: The Beautiful Game
Day 4: Sho-Perm
Day 5: NEWS ZERO

(We're gonna ignore the fact that I'm 40 minutes late. :D)

I'm not crazy about the news -- it can be depressing. I'd be lying if I said, "Sho made me love the news again!"

I still don't. However! I can watch the news again! That counts for something.

So today's theme is NEWS ZERO-kun doing his job while looking great. :) I looked back at all my News Zero clips and captured moments.

The first two were me going, "Hahaha! Same suit, different hair!"


Afterwards, you got some beautiful serious Sho-kun. I like that Sho. >.<


The following three is happy Sho, watching the Olympics. I really have never seen any one person so elated to see the Olympics. He was close to tears at least 50 times and just had this hardcore look of 「幸せ」 or joyous.

In the mail today, I received joy!

I got the Yatterman cellphone straps released by the movie and what not. Both straps! And these ticket looking things.

OKAY SO.

...YATTERMAN GOODS.

I like that it's retaining Yatterman's epic value, by that I mean Sho's face aint on them. I didn't want to see his face on them -- JUST GIMMIE MY EPIC YATTA LOGO/DORONBO LOGO.

Love Yatterman. <3 I love Sho too of course but some things need to be left as is! Yatterman kicks butt on it's own. Sho is an added plus. A very very very nice added plus. FEAR MY YATTERSTRAP! I love Momo, even though she can't see this. Thank you, my dear! <3

Day 1: +act scans
Day 2: Blonde Sho
Day 3: The Beautiful Game
Day 4: Sho-Perm

SO. Today. Every Johnny gets a perm at one point in thei-- wait. Satoshi, have you ever had a perm?! Okay, no, Sho Month. I'll ask NessaToshi later.

So for today, Sho-Perm! Some Sho perms I loved (Kiiroi Namida~) and some we're okay...like when it was brown? From after HachiKuro? Yeah.

...BUT KIIROI NAMIDA! Black hair perm on Sho + facial hair and...yeah. Let's calm down.
I even threw in some Sakuraiba. <3

      

 
  

Day 1: +act scans
Day 2: Blonde Sho
Day 3: The Beautiful Game

I went through three topic ideas before deciding on this! I really loved Sho's photographs for this butai's pamphlet. I like darker images. Johnny's aren't exactly the purveyors of the cryptic and scary, so when I see a more artistic or powerful looking picture/photoshoot I get really excitable!

For Sho-chan's butai, The Beautiful Game, the photos taken were amazing. There were the dark, kind of "What's going on behind that?" type shots and the off white/gray almost like...I got a creepy dirge vibe from them. Like someone was a ghost. Crazy! I read into it way too much.

Even the rehearsal shots were epic! So...ENJOY CREEPY SHO! <3 Who scanned these? I love them. I'll credit them if you know. However, I have a feeling this kinda just...ended up online. Like the old Arashi images? Even though it's not that old...whatever. ^o^y
 

Day 1: +act Scans
Day 2: Blonde Sho

Today for Sho Sakurai no Month, my theme is Blonde Sho! I'm a big fan of when Sho bleached his hair! Actually, for the next 24 days, I'll be saying "I am a big fan of Sho's ________" and what not. To be expected perhaps? okay. :D

I liked it because I got a like...punky (not punk rock, just...being a punk.) like vibe and it was totally sweet! Also, Sho's blonde wig for Yatterman is perfect on him~ He really is a man with a versatile face!

Credits is on the majority of the images already. Watermarks and what not. Not sure what tomorrow is gonna be but I'll have it picked by tonight. XD

I GOT 15 MORE MINUTES TO MAKE IT FOR DAY ONE.

KNOW WHAT?

WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THE SEXY THAT IS SHO KENNETH WILBURT SAKURAI.

+act magazine. (Credit to this blog for the scans, yo.) Naw. Ya'll don't even know...

Ya'll can't know! I'm sayin this because THAT MAN IS LIKE A REALLY BIG WORD FOR IMMACULATE THAT I CAN'T THINK OF.

Check it, gangstas.

YA'LL DON'T KNOW! DO YOU?

SEXY.

Since Sho and Yatterman have become simultaneous, I think it's important to keep track of the franchise in general.

With that said, here's a recent report from Anime News Network regarding the second leg of Yatterman's current status on NTV:

The Daily Sports and Sports Nippon newspapers both reported last week that the Japanese broadcaster NTV will be launching an hour-long weekday news program at 7:00 pm. next April. However, that time slot is currently held on Mondays by "Anime 7," the back-to-back showings of the Detective Conan and Yatterman anime. NTV has not officially announced whether either anime program is ending or moving to another time slot. The public broadcaster NHK already airs its long running News 7 program in that time slot, while another station, TBS, has revealed that it will launch a live two-hour news program from 6:00 pm. to 8:00 pm. in April. Despite the lack of official word on Detective Conan and Yatterman's fates, Japanese fans have launched an on line petition to ask for Detective Conan to continue.

Viz Media is releasing the original manga in North America under the name Case Closed, and FUNimation Entertainment shipped DVDs for the television anime adaptation. Takashi Miike's live-action film adaptation of Yatterman will open in Japan on March 7, while the next Detective Conan film, Meitantei Conan: Shikkoku no Chaser (Detective Conan: The Jet Black Chaser), will open in April.

I watched Yatterman while I was in Japan. Sure it was not the original, but it wasn't half bad. I believe there may be a stronger chance for Yatterman being placed in a new time slot because film promotion has just begun. With that, new found interest may begin.

It hasn't been placed in a new time slot. However, whether one is being or it will be dropped/canceled completely has not been OFFICIALLY announced.

However, speculation to this fate was implied on 2Chan BBS. I will keep tabs on this matter and inform you all. To keep in mind, anime companies are dropping tons of shows. This has nothing to do with anything in regards to like the movie being made.

Making a second leg of an anime and making an live-action are two different fields, surprisingly enough. Some people will feel that the original anime should not be touched. Live-Actions however are a completely new field and the idea of seeing your favorite hero come to life for a lot of people is wholeheartedly exciting. So, with that I have a lot of faith in the outcome of Yatterman.

Hey, guys! So, I've decided that my Vox has gotten really serious business as of late. Which isn't a bad thing, per say because...well you all know my intentions ASIDE from being a supportive Arashi fan. SO you've got to be serious to a degree, right?

However! I want to just fangirl with you all too! You know, about how funny Arashi no Shukudai-kun was or how excited I am about Satoshi's new drama and the like. If I don't have fun too, it will seem like i'm a battle robot.

So! Along with my efforts with "Arashi Globalization" I will post more fun stuff. I haven't even made graphics as of late! Isn't that the pits? I love graphic design. All my pent up graphic design came out in my new layout, though! Thank you all for your kind comments on it, by the way! Let's start with that first in my flail hour!

I need names for my flail hour. Hah.

ARASHI NO SHUKUDAI-KUN
Yuna Ito! She's precious! She's from Hawaii!

Doesn't that make you think, "Hmm, guests from Hawaii, debut footage so close to the new year. Concert in 2009..."

I loved this episode!

Killer Moments
Sho's, "I don't know~"
Aiba's, "Just a moment, please!"
Aiba's "Uwehe!"
Jun's, "I never stopped being the Comedy Leader...did I?"

• Mabo Pineapple or whatever actually looked good! Aiba's presentation of it in a hollowed pineapple was just kind of shocking.
• Aiba is a destroyer of worlds and basketball hoops! He's so tall, geez.
• That slipper game drove me crazy! It get's a huge NASHI on my scorecard.

YATTERMAN
...GUYS. Okay, first let's talk about how I was like ASNASDHFJYOKTFDBFXCVBN when the Zoom In repo came out! Iyaa, he looked epic in his Gan-chan outfit!

Though, I'm proud of him for something! Did you see how he didn't look like he'd die on those wire scenes! I mean REALLY. He's something else.

Destini Fact: I am TERRIFIED of heights. To the point where if I see someone else high up, I'll feel light-headed! It's pretty bad.

How much do you all know about Yatterman?
It's truly a great anime! I told my friend yesterday how it was like, karma that Sho was chosen to be in it.

I love Yatterman! Prior to Sho. With that, when I heard a remake was being made, I was like, "This is going to SUCK! They'll ruin it!!!"

Then it was announced, "Sakurai Sho will be playing Gan-chan!" to my disbelief. I just kinda went, "....oh no you didn't."

I didn't become less objective but I did kind of become like, "Augh, now I can't nearly be as mean! It's Sho!"

Everyone knows Yatterman is done being filmed though, which is funny because I don't see WHEN Sho could've filmed! Hasn't 2008 been jam packed - not just for ARASHI but for Sho himself.

Uwa, it makes you think Johnny's isn't a Jimusho but the name of an android company.

I want a Sho 4.0 Model in, "Mago Mago Cooking Uniform" style. Or maybe..."Hadaka." I didn't say it. O_o

UTA NO ONIISAN
So I got informed via text about this! I kinda went,

"HE ONLY TOOK A BREAK FOR A SEASON!"

You all have already kind of gone, "The switch is amazing! Devil Lawyer to Singing Older Brother."

My favorite thing about this is how the character is so much like Satoshi. Well, he didn't think he'd be a Johnny right? He became one though and I don't think it's saying much when I say he's amazing at it. You never know where fate will lead you!

More or less, I'm excited at how much of his emotions will come through here. I remember for Maou, one of the most...dare I say, impacting CM's they showed for it while I was in Japan was a 30-second CM of Naruse crying.

Just him crying!
No dialogue!

It was so crazy. I was following it like crazy but I thought - had I not been watching Maou, I'd watch that episode without fail. I'm not sure how much of him came out in that scene but nevertheless it struck me as being powerful.

I trust Satoshi will bring it for this drama too!

Will A New Arashi Single Come From This?!
What do you all think? How crazy would it be if the first single of the year was like...Japanese Blue's Clues style!

You'd buy it right?! 5 copies of the LE, huh? XD I would...not 5. You get me. XD
