The Kamenashi Effect taught to beginners
Jun. 21st, 2011 05:26 pmI promised this post time ago when I started to use the word "Kamenashi Effect" in my entries. Read it carefully because I hid many gifs/pics as links all throughout the post. :Dv
**NOTE: it's a post made for fun to make fun of Kametards written by aKametard Kamefan, so yeah, it's ironic**
I was partially inspired by
scorch66 's Kame love posts and
simourva 's picspam, so go and read them :D
Finally, after months of researches, notes and observation of KAT-TUN fans and Kamestans, I wrote my "essay" about the amazing, bewireling, shocking...
1- Shopping and Shopaholicism
This is the first symptom you generally notice. You begin to go shopping even if you were that kind of girl that barely buys new clothes every now and then, just because the old ones are too small. And even worse, now you enjoy going shopping.
You still may blame Kame for his shopaholicism and spending habits, but before you realize it, you become a shopaholic too.
The terminal status, you don't even feel guilty going and enjoying shopping or spending too much money on a skirt.
1.2- Expensive taste in shopping
If you have 3 t-shirts in front of you, the one that will catch your attention will 90% surely be the most expensive. You can't help it. Simply, you will.
2- Fashionista knowledge
You know so many stylist after checking what Kame was wearing in the last perf, PV or photoshoot that you could write a monthly column in the most fashionable magazine in the world. "Devil wears Prada" is nothing compared to you.
3- Weird taste in clothing
You become obsessed with accessories and, most of all, you end up buying weird clothes. You basically changed your wardrobe after you got to know Kame. Try to think about it. You probably have jackets with fur now, or damaged jeans, or lots of shoes/boots, so many that your mom starts wondering if you have more legs than normal human beings. I really hope you don't have feathery boas and sparkling trousers in your wardrobe, or jackets with lips, but I can't exlude it completely. Surely you have lots of Jeans - he's the best jeanist and even if you liked them before, now you almost wear only jeans.
The accessorize section may contain:
-sunglasses. Many.
-fedoras.
-Scarfs and foulards.
-Bracelets. Uncontable.
-Necklaces - you wear 3-4 of them at same time.
-Rings.
-Bags - the most similar to his you could find.
It may happen that you see/buy something because you think "Kame would approve this material/color".
3.2- Weird taste in clothing part 2
This point has a subpoint too. Maybe you don't buy it (because for example it's a man shirt and let's be honest, even if you like it, if you don't have a boyfriend or a dad as weird as you that accepts to wear something like this, you won't buy it)... but you think "oh, this woul suit Kame SO MUCH".

(this because I was talking about feathery boas and sparlking pants.
I don't think your bf would wear them.)
4- Appearance obsessed
You start paying attention to your make-up. Then, you notice every time one of them (it may be Kame, but not only him) wears make-up, eventually copying it (their make-up artists are always make-up artists, FTW!). Especially eyebrows are your new fixed point you never miss to check - because Kame's bitchy brows are bitchy, hella yeah.
Perfumes, facial patches, etc: everything is suddenly so important to you.
4.1 Shows are your mirrors around the city
Yes, I've seen people doing this as consequence of the parts already said.
5- Catwalk
Yes. Because Kame's catwalk is better than yours, and you KNOW it. But since you see his catwalk every day, rewatching his performances, CMs, dramas, you absorb his technique and you end up catwalking in your everyday life unconsciously.
At least Kame helps your woman pride, not just destroy it, once in a while.
6- Tongue habit
As before, you keep watching him playing with his lips/tongue/teeth/whatever, and unconsciously take that habit.
If you already had this habit (as I did), well, it will worsen. Very much. Trust me.
Your tongue takes control and when you are nervous you start playing unconsciously with it and your lips. As the master, more or less unconciously teaches.
7- Lamenashi is all around you
As if Junno wasn't enough, as if you needed someone who can say puns even lamer than Junno's, well, you have Lamenashi Kazuya for you. Because, quoting
simourva , "he's where even lame becomes lamer". The funny fact is that he can be lame and still look cute.
Too bad that your lame puns won't make your friends crack up nor make them say "ZOMG you are so cute!1!!1!1!". They will facepalm and try not to look too much impolite with you (if they are kind enough. Otherwise, they will make fool of you for the rest of the day).
Basically, you become a weird hybrid between Lamenashi and Taguchi. Basically, A LameGuchi. Terrible.
And so to unite point 6&7, "Kame's lameness is like his tongue - always there and impossible to ignore. "
8- Turtles=Kame
Too much obvious, but this is the truth. Every time you see a turtle, someone talks about turtles, wears a t-shirt with a turtle, looks like a turtle, eats turtles, plays with turtles, your mind goes to him. Don't deny it, you know it's true.
8.1- Turtles are needed in your room
You have at least a turtle-shaped thinghy at home. And if you have not, you are thinking to buy it.

Kamearmy. Just because.
9- (His, not yours) undeniable charm captivates everyone
Everyone in your family knows Kame. They may don't know who KT are, but they KNOW there's this guy called Kame somewhere among them. They eventually may be able to recognize him. Especially your mom is his fan or prefers him among KT or at least can recognize him.
It may happen that even male figures around you (brothers or friends) are captivated by him, his skin or his flawless back, as someone in my f-list told me about his male friend XD

10- You can't count your fetishes anymore
Maybe at the beginning, before getting to know him, you only had a soft spot for neckties.
But then, after knowing him, shirts (yes shirts) appeared. Wet - or potentially wet - shirts, why not. Even office!shirts.
Then suits. More suits. Even MORE suits.
Then glasses - because he's hot and looks like Johnny Depp in QoP live with the perm. (well not exactly this pic, but if you watch the con, you get what I mean)
Why not, tanktops.
Not to think about body parts - ass, arms, back, tummy, neck, jugular, eyes, jaw, hair, legs, fingers... and all their fatty variations, of course. Because you didn't think that fatty!Kame could make you change your mind about fat being extremely hot and sexy, right?
Because Kame is your walking fetish.
10.1- Crook noses are sexy for you

(Glasses+nose, wasn't I smart choosing this pic? XD)
10.2- Your fetishes may be disturbing and weird
Of course, the FAMOUS Kame's nipples - or raisins - that everyone in JE fandom, even non-KT fans, knows.
Not to talk about the forest - You know who I'm referring to. XDDD Hairy Kame had a campaing already back in 2007.
11- Baseball is your favourite sport
Read here.
You almost didn't know about this sport until he began Going. Or maybe you didn't even care about sports at all.
Now you know all the rules, you can even discuss about which kind of pitch should be used against which kind of batter - because yes, you even know that there are different pitches.
You know almost all the Japanese baseball teams and you can even tell apart many players, say where they play and in which role. You ship TsuyoKame.
Not to say that you even know the result of the last Giant's match (thanks to Dramatic game).

12- You are interested in reptiles
Because, after the turtle, you discovered that boas (yes boas) may be interesting animals (together with condas. And bouncing ferrets, even if this isn't a reptile, but KT loves all animals and we also do).
You also are interested in how boas moves and is... grabbed?

13- You are interested in cooking
Maybe you can't even warm milk decently, but recently you feel the urge to learn how to cook.
---> 
(the pics are bigger)
13.2- Hadaka apron is one of the fetishes you secretly have
Don't deny it. Naked apron this way comes!
13.3- Wines don't have mysteries for you
Because you watched Kami no Shizuku and hell yes, you learned what a decantage is and you can distinguish 2 French wines even if you don't drink alcohol.
14- You somehow became cuter
Because, as points1-2-3-4-5 were absorbed unconsciously, cuteness may sometimes become unconscious too. Together with cute dorkiness. Sometimes he's just plain beautiful and shining.

15- Skulls are strangely fascinating nowadays
Yes, skulls.
16- You don't have a clear music preference anymore
After this Real Face and this ballad, you don't know anymore if you prefer rock or ballads. 99% of the cases, both of them.
16.2- Sappy songs aren't so bad at the end
Who didn't fall in love with him after reading "Aishiteiru kara" lyrics or simply watching his heartfelt perfs? (I cried like a baby after that SC perfs, but well)
17- You are an emoji freak
Because after reading his manuals, you started to use more emojis than words too. XD ^_^ ^o^ He's the king of emojis.
18- You are a hopeless perv
Or maybe you were a perv even before (especially because KAT-TUN fans, in primis Kamefans, seem to be genetically pervs). But obviously, being fan of a man that calls his dogs Ran & Jelly (=Ranjerii->Lingerie), that likes to slut himself on stage like it's a normal thing to do, that molests juniors, that hipsroll like a god, and has CMs where he's half naked, doesn't help. (<-- Don't be ashamed, I know you were hoping the shoot was lower *pats*)

19- You surpassed the "Yaoi" line. You ship Kame/everyone&everything
Because yes: he can be paired up with everyone, and yes, Kame/Kame exist and it's fucking hot. Kame/inanimate objects may be relevant to your interests too - especially poles, just sayin'.

20- Convulsive laughs are sexy (and you start laughing this way too)
No one can resist his laugh. or simply weird kameface.
21- You are clingy
Because he is passionate and teasing and clingy with lonely hands so yes, you are too. Or you became like this. It's the same, basically you are like this because it's the Kamenashi Effect and I'm explaining you it, to show you the Light.
22- You give yourself in everything you do
After 21+some underpoints stupid reasons, the last one is serious - and we all know that, after all, this is so much true. And putting aside the jokes, this is the most important point.
Sometimes you may be tired for your schedule, but then somewhere in your mind, even if you think it's stupid, there is a brain cell that's mumbling "Kame's schedule is way more hectic than yours, so don't give up now".
When you suffer for a friend's betrayal, you remember that 2006 period that he had to experiment and you think "He managed to continue working with people that hated him. I can go over a betrayal and continue living too".
When you have lots to do and you feel lazy, you think about his workaholicism and feel guilty (or inspired) and start to work too.
When you think you "can't do it, it's useless even trying", with a smile you think about his 1 year long Home Run project and how he never gave up, and you conclude that yes, after all you can try a bit more.
When you experiment hard times, you remember his words "God doesn't give trials that can't be overcame".
When you think you are weak and your weakness will be a minus for you, here it comes his multiple interviews or his Maquia corner where he admits his weaknesses, he knows them but they can become his strength, and it's useless fighting them. So you start working on your character another time more.
Before realizing, he's become your inspiration for many things and yes, you are proud of being his fan because he's like this. You close an eye on his excesses only because you know he's more human than many other famous people.
The Kamenashi Effect is what about him and his habits changed you and your lifestyle.
After all, the Kamenashi Effect isn't so bad. At least, this is my conclusion. And you?

And thanks to all my friends that, in the past years of fangirling, showed me their love for KT and sharing with me their thoughts indirectly helped me writing down this list of things that this man, in the good and bad sides, definitely changed my life. And, why not, helped me to correct some wrong sides of my behaviour and... helped me get to know awesome people.
Because just an awesome man can call for awesome fans, right? :)

The Kamenashi Effect
(awesome since 1986)
(awesome since 1986)

male figures around you (brothers or friends) are captivated by him..
Don't tell me you did something to your brother LOL
Maybe you can't even warm milk decently, but recently you feel the urge to learn how to cook.
No, I still hate cooking and don't really want to learn to cook or cook, since Kame said "if she wants to eat and tell me, I will cook for her" (I'm in dreaming land, nvm LOL)
Yes, skulls.
I'm in love w skulls times ago n it's become deper and deeper LOL.

"The accessorize section may contain:
-sunglasses. Many.
-fedoras.
-Scarfs and foulards.
-Bracelets. Uncontable.
-Necklaces - you wear 3-4 of them at same time.
-Rings.
-Bags - the most similar to his you could find."
OMGGGGGGGG I have all this and didn't even notice! O_O
"If you already had this habit (as I did), well, it will worsen. Very much. Trust me."
I trust you, I had this habit since I was a little but it gets worse after I watch anything with Kame! XDD
""Kame's lameness is like his tongue - always there and impossible to ignore. " "
ROFL I LIKE THAT SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
"8- Turtles=Kame"
*sigh* It's so true!
"You have at least a turtle-shaped thinghy at home"
I have cute little silver pink turtle on one of my bracelets! XDD
"10- You can't count your fetishes anymore"
I really can't anymore and you know that! XD
"Because Kame is your walking fetish."
He totally is, I admit it! :P
OMG I agree with everything you said about the baseball (#11) O_O , when did that happened?!?!
"You ship TsuyoKame"
(woot) Of course! *rock emoji*
"He's the king of emojis."
*nods* ^_^ and I really sometimes use more emijis than words. I have to be very careful with the business letters I write, a few times I almost send them with a smiley in the end of the sentence. ROFL
"19- You surpassed the "Yaoi" line. You ship Kame/everyone&everything"
OF COURSE!!!!! ABSOLUTELY !!!!! XDD
And this, this I just HAVE to quote:
"Sometimes you may be tired for your schedule, but then somewhere in your mind, even if you think it's stupid, there is a brain cell that's mumbling "Kame's schedule is way more hectic than yours, so don't give up now".
When you suffer for a friend's betrayal, you remember that 2006 period that he had to experiment and you think "He managed to continue working with people that hated him. I can go over a betrayal and continue living too".
When you have lots to do and you feel lazy, you think about his workaholicism and feel guilty (or inspired) and start to work too.
Before realizing, he's become your inspiration for many things and yes, you are proud of being his fan because he's like this. "
I'm sorry for the long comment, Isi, but EPIC POST IS EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;___;
Thank you, thank you soo much! *worship forever*
*clings*
P.S. This absolutely goes into memories! <3 <3 <3

Date: 2011-06-21 04:45 pm (UTC)I love and collect foulards since 1year HS (yes, foulards are always the right present for me LOL), so maaany years before getting to know Kame. But when he started wearing foulards around January I had a revival too LOL XD
Glad to see I'm not the only one that finds her bad habit worsened X__X
""Kame's lameness is like his tongue - always there and impossible to ignore. " "
ROFL I LIKE THAT SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
LOL Sara ♥ She knows how to use words, not only in fanfics XD
I have cute little silver pink turtle on one of my bracelets! XDD
PINK! Totally kame! XD
I'm happy you liked this post~~ *flying chuus*

no subject
Date: 2011-06-21 04:52 pm (UTC)It sounds stupid to say it about an idol, but it was #22 that made me like Kame too. I "chose" him among KT when I still had no favourite only after reading some of his interviews :) So I feel you XD

Date: 2011-06-21 04:59 pm (UTC)Especially:
No.8 is so obvious! I wear this turtle necklace I don't know for how long, until I changed it with kame's kanji letter pendant last week (my sister gave it as bday present). And every time I see some turtle shape thing I must be hysterical and try so hard to keep in mind that I don't need it but most of the time I still buy it! ^^
No.9, just ask my mom! Her cellphone wallies is kame's dash&confused! Lol
And the most important is the last number. It did happened to me! When I got trouble and almost gave up, I feel ashamed why I was that weak, kame had way more hard time and more job to do. I need to be strong, if kame managed to do it than I can do it to. T_T
Kame is my idol, my happy pill, my power booze,my inspiration. He is one of the best thing that I find so far in my life.
Btw, It's midnight here and I get teary eyes for reading your essay T_T *hugs*
Now I need to sleep and have a 亀 dream ^_^

Date: 2011-06-21 09:04 pm (UTC)Oh good, so your mom is Kamefan also? XD The virus is spreading~~
I need to be strong, if kame managed to do it than I can do it to. T_T
This, pretty much :) Sometimes people just need an icon; it may become an icon "to imitate" or an icon "in competition with", but I suppose you just need that image. Kame's workaholicism and efforts in giving always his best work really well in both cases :P
I just wanted to be ironic towards Kamefans, not make people teary-eyed though :| *hugs* I'm happy that you liked my randomness anyway :D Have a nice 亀dream! :D

Date: 2011-06-21 06:49 pm (UTC)Gosh, the habits I've picked up from them are countless. I can't help myself.
Tongue habits were one thing I was prone to before Kame. Now they've escalated to a point that I can't go an hour without doing it once T_T
My turtle collection, AKA my pride and joy. I add to it on a regular basis. *shameful*
Baseball, an obvious favourite sport for me now. Shame I miss the ball a lot.
I'm such a wine nerd. My family plans to go to a French vineyard this summer. I'm not missing it for anything.
I needn't pinpoint further, I'd only end up commenting on each and every statement made up there.
Anyway, awesome post <3. You know you're a Kame fan when you understand and can identify with every single thing you said ^_^

Date: 2011-06-21 09:10 pm (UTC)I WANTED to make this post applicable to many people :P I think that some fans don't have some points (yet?), but at least 2-3... yes XD
Tongue habits were one thing I was prone to before Kame. Now they've escalated to a point that I can't go an hour without doing it once T_T
*pats* I understand you :( LOL sometimes becomes embarrassing though. XD;
See, I don't have a turtle collection! XD I need to find something turtle-shaped. I think it's also said that bring good luck?
I completely failed at baseball during High School and I don't think I got better, lol XD;;
Oh, wine nerd? It's the first time I meet a girl knowledgeable about wine! Sugoi~

Date: 2011-06-21 09:31 pm (UTC)awsome title for the starts!! yeah he´s awsome since the day he opened his eyes to this world, and I will always phraise his mother and his family for the good child they raise ^O^!!!
oki, I clearly will be agree with a lot of the points you listed here, for example =PP all the references to clothes, I think it aplied to me too, now that I think about it, usually when I went shopping, I choose the thing that atracts me, and it comes to be expensive too =PPP and I could add, since I read before from one of Kame interviews, I dont like to wear or have the same thing the majority of people have .-. ----> picky like him yeah =PPPPP
the tongue thing =PPP now that I really think about it =PPPP I play with it too and pout a lot =PPPPPPPPP jajajajja thanks Kame =PPPPPPPPPP
mmmm I´m lame =PPPPPPPP
turtle mania, oh yeah =PPPPPPPPPP i have lots of turtles thingys around me and I want more *-* and my family knows about that, and they give me always someth related to turtles too *-* choooo cute *-*
ahhh that doesnt work with my family ;_; snif, well I forced my cousin, and she likes him a little , at least she can identify him. ahhh that reminds me, even if my mom, who doesnt like him at all, now finally she accepts he´s handsome =PPPPPPPP in some pictures and well she liked Ai ni tsuite perfom ^-^ *points for me* =PPPPPPPPPPP
yeah, Kame is my fetish like the rest of us *drooling forever*
Not my fav sport *still find it a little boring, sorry Kame* but I know a lot about the sport lately =PPPP jajajajaja and of course any interaction with the baseball players and he all happy like a little kid make me want to enjoy the game too =PPPPPPPPP jajajajjajaja
nops, i dont want to try cooking for fun =PPPPPPP jajajajja Kame come and cook for me *-*
yeah somehow lately I hearing all his solos, even the balads o.o ......Kameeeeeeeeeeeeee =PPPPPPPPPP
emojis are cute *-* the day he wouldnt use them, I will be worried ashell ;_;
Kametars are pervs *evil grin* we rock *rockish emo*
and the ending is so touching, I admire him as a person, for all the years I followed him and watching him grow up in this wonderfull way, I just dont have enough words for describing my feelings anymore, and like a lot of fellow fans here, it´s not just his looks, it´s everth, all of him, the way he´s maturating and tranforming himself in this young man, is just admirable, beyond any other adjective, and for that I´m trying too ^.^.
Thanks dear, this was an awsome post!!!! I enjoyed everyth!!! *lot of kisus*

Date: 2011-06-22 04:55 pm (UTC)Yeah, indipendently by the fortunate genes combination, how his parents raised him was really a blessing, both for him, for the people he gets to know, for his future family :) They did really a great job, since he seems to cherish both values and an open-minded point of view.
since I read before from one of Kame interviews, I dont like to wear or have the same thing the majority of people have .-. ----> picky like him yeah =PPPPP
LOL I see you! I do the same even about layouts and icons/display pictures. XD;;;
my family knows about that, and they give me always someth related to turtles too *-* choooo cute *-*
Oooh cute family~~ My family tries not to care about my Kamebias XD my friends gave me a make-up trousse as present though. I've never received make-up things as present before LOL. Did I wrote something about paying attention to makeup? XDDD
who doesnt like him at all, now finally she accepts he´s handsome
Oh same here! *hi5* XD
any interaction with the baseball players and he all happy like a little kid make me want to enjoy the game too
Me too! :o It's because that I see him so happy about playing sports that I decided to move my lazy ass and do sports again XD;;
You are a fan from longer than me, you saw him growing *_* That's so cute. ♥
LOL I suppose I have to add "you become clingy AND SAPPY". because I wasn't so sappy before (I was, but not so much XD) *bear hugs back*

Date: 2011-06-22 02:45 am (UTC)Please, we all know he rivals Junno's lameness, 'cept that when he gives in, he'd make cho-Kame look vewwy bad :DDD
10. Ah, the endless Kame-fetishes. I just look at what I see, and I see A LOT. PERIOD :DDD
18. Kame makes EVERYONE pervy, if not pervier. TRUFAX.
Alternately, perviness IS a prerequisite for Kame fandom :D Or maybe this itself is the Kamenashi efect? :DDD
19. THAT POLE GIF IS THE SINGULAR VERY REASON I STANNED KAME IN THE FIRST PLACE A YEAR AGO! IT'S ALL COMING BACK TO ME NOW!!!
22. And yes, the work ethic. Was actually kinda meh about the hype about it at first *gets bricked* But then, I thought of how far he's come in years, along with all the setbacks, and it just struck me. First, him not being able to go pro for something that he clearly loves - that must've been a big blow for him, especially since he did play for the junior baseball league back in the day. Like how he's clearly not lacking in skill but is still unable to have a go at it for whatever reason - poverty, necessity, lack of time, what have you. And then the StA issue, where he had to endure a lot of undeserved hate/ disapproval (both from bandmates and anti-fans) for an opportunity that he seized. And then there's his evolution as a performer. While certainly not the best singer, actor, and dancer in town, he still stuck to the job, and in the process, steadily improved himself. Now, while I still cringe at that Kizuna perf, I certainly can't say the same for how he sings right now :D And ultimately, how he has managed to juggle his workload AND not break down. Just phenomenal.
And while I have the nasty habit of picking on his girliness *gets shot*, I do recognize the fact that he boy works his ass off. That alone is reason enough to respect him. I'm such a veritable lazy ass myself, but learning of how he keeps up with the many things thrown his way, I feel a little more motivated to be a better person. And it is the people who make you want to be a little better that sort of put a significant dent in your life. Ew, mush :P
Also, I do love how Kame reflects about stage/ camera life and outside of it, and "inconsistencies" (for lack of a better term) and such.
Just hadta say: you forgot that RRRRRRrrrrrrrrr thing he does :DDD
Ew, I went tl;dr
no subject
Date: 2011-06-22 12:02 pm (UTC)'cept that when he gives in, he'd make cho-Kame look vewwy bad :DDD
Oh true! I forgot it XD I wondered if adding the "cho Kamenashi aura", then I give up because the Cho Kamenashi is probably inimitable XD
Alternately, perviness IS a prerequisite for Kame fandom :D
Necessary for KT fandom, Genetic for kamestans :Dv
IKR?! Those pole gifs are SO MUCH. I think I had breathing problems the first time I saw that scene in the tour (esp for his smirk after slutting with the pole). And the DBS one... ZOMG. he knows how to move his hips. *bad visuals*
Quoting all the rest about Kame's inner side - which is IMO the best part of him and what made me fall for him, as I said in another comment. ♥
Also, I do love how Kame reflects about stage/ camera life and outside of it, and "inconsistencies" <-- THIS. And this is why I so cherish that Maquia corner :)
(if your comment is tl;dr, what about my post itself? XD 22 points are SO MUCH.)

Date: 2011-06-22 03:35 am (UTC)thank you so much for posting this! it make me feel I back on track, since I decided to have a long hiatus from fandom. But still, I keep on track for Kame. I'm agree with the most of your point. At number 8, I have three necklace with a turtle pendant, fifteen turtle puppet, and I still wanna buy it again and again.
I don't remember since when I starting to love everything in green, turtle is green, so I love green. It so obvious LOL

Damn you, Kame. No wonder he's such a fab endorser fdjkhs #KamenashiEffect
The last point is the best though and how he affects me most. The way he lives his life is something I both respect and admire. ♥

Basically, A LameGuchi. Terrible.
LMAO. -dying-
Omg, #8 is soooo true for me. xD I now associate turtles w/ Kame and now love turtle patterns/things. orz #15 is also true for me. I'm now way more interested in skull patterns and things, since I associate them with Kame/KT.
I don't have a favorite sport, but now I have a fondness for baseball. Like I said before, me being dragged to baseball games by my parents was fate. LOL I'm glad I have at least a basic understanding of this game, though I'm nowhere near a baseball fanatic.
You also are interested in how boas moves and is... grabbed?
XDDDD;; I'm so not going to make it through this entry, lol.
I was an emoji freak before, but seeing Kame's habit, I feel better about mine. XD
And the last point... ♥ Kame really is an inspiration. My words would be inadequate to what you've already said. :)

Yes, Kame (and, as I discovered yesterday, Koki OTL) make me feel better about my habit too - especially about my massive "XD" use. :P

The 2005-2006 period... I don't like to remember it OTL. It wasn't actually fan hate (most of fan haters arrived with 2007 and Akanishi american journey), but ATTUN were holding a grudge against him because he was debuting first, as soloist/duo with Yamapi, instead that as KT. Indeed, if you look at the RF and debut TV shows, you see that when they comment Shuuji to Akira single they're very bitter, sometimes almost harsh towards kame. kame himself talked about this period now and then, saying it was painful (or at least he was alone in a 1vs.5 formation), for example in the 4th (is it the 4th? the "team" one) Maquia.
You're welcome :)
