I'm listening to the Kumo single right now and I just gotta say.

"story" is making me cry buckets.

I'd decided not to listen to the previews played on TOKIO's radio shows and it was absolutely the right decision because holy fucking shit, this is a song you have to listen to in perfect CD quality--no more, no less.

Gotta love Taichi's shit, man.

I'm sure you've all heard about Tomo's new romance drama coming up!

Awesomely enough it coincides with my summer break, so I'll be subbing that. :Dd

I don't have time to translate anything concrete right now, but it's a remake of the 2004 K-Drama Sorry, I Love You. Tomo's character was abandoned by his mum, then gets this fatal injury after helping who I presume is his love interest (who, incidentally, has a romance thing going on with Tomo's half-brother). That being said, he tries to look for her before he dies so they can connect again. It sounds cheesy as hell and I'd rather die before I watch a romance drama, but we all know how much I love Tomo, so hey.

According to Tomo, the reason he hasn't done romance dramas as of late is because of lack of interest. "Love just wasn't the kind of thing I could comprehend," or so he says. He also says that he'll be pursuing the role "in a way that only I could do a love story".

"Now that I'm in my late thirties, the way I think about love is a lot different than it was 20 years ago. With this role, I'll be able to pursue it more honestly. After all the acting I've done, I want this character to be one people'll think, oh, only Tomoya Nagase could've played that guy, and if I have to do a love story for it, then isn't that fine? It'll be a love story no-one's ever seen before."

I REMEMBER ASKING THIS BEFORE about where the hell to find arashi raws but like. since i'm an idiot

i wanna do a part of the anishi last saturday................................because sho's english *stares at my hands* this is the most shameful admission of my LIFE, i can't BELIEVE

no idea where the fuck to find shit for download though like. y'all

i'm never going to be over shy tomoya



I'M NEVER GOING TO BE OVER SHY TOMOYA

it took me two months but i think i finally granted access to everyone who commented on my friends only entry here on dw? let me know if i missed you

subs: i have the tonisen tokikake episode 83% translated and have to get off my ass to finish it, i know. also listed some projects for this year's tomo week so hopefully i won't be too behind on that. for dramas, kanojo ga shinjatta is in the works, but i have to get my work/school shit together before i do anything. might also be taking handoku!!!, since i recently got a copy of the dvd, but since my life's busy who knows when i can do squat

i'm probably going to be backing up tokioteatime here on dw so that'll be fun

anyway thanks for your support guys. #zuttotokio

and if we've never spoken before HI ITS NICE TO MEET YOU IM LANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lets be friends

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT HOPES DO YOU HAVE FOR 2017? WHAT THINGS WERE BEST ABOUT 2016 FOR YOU? TELL ME ABOUT YOUR FAVOURITE SONGS THAT CAME OUT! FAVOURITE MOVIES! FAVOURITE ANIME OR TV SHOWS OR BOOKS OF 2016!

TELL ME EVERYTHING!!!!! LET'S BE FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't think of a better title. LEAVE ME ALONE.

Anyway, I get lots of messages from all you guys about how you want recommendations for videos to watch and music to listen to, and while the former will take me a billion years (especially with the issues of subtitles), I figured I might as well try to put together a simple playlist of music to help newbies with venturing through TOKIO's massive 22 years of discography. In my opinion, these 15 songs are a good sampler to figure out what to expect from our five lovable morons, and I hope you have fun as you go along!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, Y'ALL.
