傷を癒やすクスリ気持ちいいの・The medicine that cures wounds feels good...

If you speak enough Japanese to read Japanese Hyphens’ tweets, you’ve surely seen that in the last months they are being quite active: writing to TV stations to let KAT-TUN have a program, or write to radio or FC for the tour and similar.

One of their biggest projects so far is trying to have a DVD/Bluray of DREAM BOYS; they are basically spamming the fanclub with postcards requests.
It seems (from what I read from their tweets, so I don’t know the details) that SHOCK, Koichi’s butai, has a DVD release this year after 4 years because FC received lots of requests from fans, so KAT-TUN fans are trying to do the same with DREAM BOYS (because dream boys has no DVD since 2007). I remember you that DBS 2011 had not only Kame but also Koki and Nakamaru, therefore you might want to join this project too, even if not Kame fan.

Chatting with some of the Japanese fans, we came to conclusion that, despite most of us foreigner hyphens speak English and not Japanese, sending requests even in English wouldn’t be such bad, on the contrary it might be a good appeal since we could emphasize the fact we have just DVD to see the stage plays and well, more postcards, more possibility of success ^__^
I also saw that someone was translating how to do it into English for international fandom on Twitter (Muffy, here: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1rl5pst ), and I also saw that there may be someone who wants to help and try this out, so here I basically translated what Jp fans are doing and wrote a small tutorial if you want to do it too. :D

I guess you can do it all together during fan gathering and stuff :D


1) Write to Family Club using postcards

2) Request to Toho.

Tonight I tried to put order in my tag system, since I myself had a hard time to find what I was looking for in some communities.
( Tag system, graphic changes, future projects. )

And now a KT meme that I stealed took from KAT-TUN Worldwide forum XD
( KT 30Q meme! )

Oh, I love "TWO". It gives me emotional ups and downs, I wonder why. At first I find it happy, then it becomes refreshing during the second chorus, then... it suddenly becomes setsunai ç__ç The central part with at first Kame's solo line, then all of them, with the voices that overlap... It touches me, I wonder why, it's not a sad song!

ame ni nureteta kinou no bokura ashita e to tsuzuku tobira o akeru yo
SUNDAY I LOVE YOU
itsu made mo soba ni doko made mo fukaku
tsuyoku gyutto tsunaida te to te hitotsu ni kanjite

And the "aishiteiru yo"?! Whoever sings it (I'm pretty sure it's Kame... I know I confuse Koki and Kame's voices sometimes, but this time I really think it's Kame's voice :/ The low tone is very similar to Aishiteiru Kara intro)... I melt ;__; The first time I noticed the "aishiteruyo" (around the 2-3 listening O_O) I was on a train. I had an heart attack and jumped on my seat. I was like "Who's whispering in my ear like this?!". But it was the song. I fell in love -again- with Kame. ♥

At first I didn't understand well the first sentence (it was 3am and I was rather sleepy lol), but after the second sentence I went back, I understood HYPHEN and I swear I cried. At the last 20 seconds of the DVD. T___T
"WIll you be always our hyphen? Then, we'll always be KAT-TUN."
SO MUCH LOVE I CAN'T EXPRESS IT OMG OMG *hearts and tears everywhere*
I think this was the first time that they/he used the word "hyphen" addressing to the fans this year? Coz they didn't call us seriously "hypens" until this year. I FEEL SO LOVED *______*
These boys deserve so much love, especially after this tough year. Oh they're so sweet, and Koki is such a lovely tsundere (I've never said that he's my 1,5 bias? Because I love him so much that 2nd place isn't enough, he sometimes jumps on 1st place instead of Kame, like this time). I just want to hug all of them five and say "you're loved, don't worry!"
I've never loved so much a band in my whole life. Really. I'm impressed and scared but really... this DVD is the best Christmas/New Year present I've received in the last years.

I'm putting everything in my luggage, I'm going to go to my friend's house to prepare everything for tomorrow party in around 2 hours and I won't have internet connection there.
I hope all of you have flailed/is flailing/will flail adequately on KT DVD because it's AWESOMEx10000^infinite. *__* I will join your flailing on 1st January, don't worry XD

Admit it, you KNEW I'd post this. XD
I was too curious so at the end I opened LJ via mobile phone in train, this afternoon. And I saw it was already posted! I went KYAAA KYAAAA silently =P OF COURSE my mean phone didn't want to load youtube video nor download MF file so I almost threw it outside the train due to frustration è_é Then finally it said "your application is too old, update it" after 20 minutes of struggle and... THE HEAVEN *__*
( HAWT - You can change ur world~~~! )
Oh I would have so much to say... but it's better if I stop here XD

At the end I watched Yuuki too. Of course I cried like a baby. But it deserves it.




( My comment and some thoughts )

"Even at the end, he was smiling.
At the end, he won."

"Have you heard about this?
To comprehend the value of one year, just ask the students who failed their entrance exams.
To comprehend the value of one month, just ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
To comprehend the value of one week, just ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To comprehend the value of one hour, just ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To comprehend the value of one minute, just ask the people who missed their stop on the train.
To comprehend the value of one second, just ask the person who managed to avoid an accident just in time.
To comprehend the value of 1/10 of a second, just ask the person who ended up with a silver medal at the Olympics.
The hands of a clock will continue ticking. Therefore, treasure every moment you have, and treat today as the utmost gift you'll have."

I didn't use internet for 2 days and when I returned at home and opened my friend page I thought "OMG is the world falling down?! So much posts in less than 48 hours?!"
Guess what happened? Jin's rumors are becoming more than rumors. And fandom is going crazy - TOO MUCH crazy, IMHO. First of all, it isn't ufficial yet, right?! Then, even if it was/is true... Like all of this was unexpected. Girls... c'mon. We knew it since November, at least. Everyone noticed that weird behavior of Jin - even "Cartoon KT" guests. And since I've read all of those posts full of sadness and angst, I want to express myself too... and say my opinion.
Reading all of these posts I realized that some weeks ago I wrote an entry I've never published (I ♥ my memory XD), because I don't like to write angry things so I end up deleting them after a while... but I looked for it in my pc. I wrote it to express my feelings about a Jin's interview the 5th July and I see I was absolutely right. Kame confirmed his words.

( About Jin's L.A. interview & Johnny's statement... Am I a new Cassandra from Troy or everything was under our eyes from ages?  )

The only thing I'd like every KT fan understand is: NOBODY IS AT FAULT. Nor Jin, nor KT-TUN. They have become too much different to continue to work together, that's all.
I don't like to see EVEN NOW all of these fans doing petitions (!!), writing Akame fanfic (sorry, I'm a Kokame/Nakame/KoKaNa fan XD), etc to convince Jin to return. They're happy as they are.
Kame's words were SO WISE AND MATURE I wanted to cry. They can't force him to stay in KT if this brings him sadness. Maybe those 6 boys are suffering too. Don't be the spoiled fans that want what they want. Help them. C'mon, you see it by yourself that KT-TUN are enjoying so much during tours and photoshoots - it was months that they didn't smile so freely. And Jin said it by himself in the interview I copied before. With all these suffering posts and petitions you're debasing the efforts of the 5 boys. It's like you don't like KATTUN but kAttun, "A and his happy friends KTTUN". It's like A is the star and the other 5 are only keeping busy until the return of the King. Please, no. I bet they 5 are suffering too but they're doing their best to not show it and to be professional for OUR sake. Or maybe they're happy. Who knows. Try to imagine how much they're feeling the pressure upon their shoulders; if you are so stubborn, it'd be like they're only filling a gap. But right now they need to see that we're supporting them. They NEED it. As artists, as young boys.
I'm thinking about Kame, which is the youngest but now everyone will look at him to see if he'll be able to cover Jin's absence. Even the other members have always said he's the one who cherish and cares about other members most in the group. I'm thinking about Ueda, who's wonderfully singing all the high notes that Jin would have sing - probably better than him. I'm thinking about Maru who's gaining attention and is showing us his true voice even in group songs and not only in solos. I'm thinking about Koki, that after all wrote a rap in N.M.P. that contains KAT-TUN, and even if in the past he hated KT himself, now can speak about the band with tender voice. I'm thinking about Junno, that in every performance shows us so much joy that you can only think "oh, life is so happy!".
Do you really want to debase their efforts?
