It was relatively difficult to decide on the ones I really don't know well (like some V6 or TOKIO members)
but I think this is quite accurate.
When I had to choose between Katori Shingo and Domoto Koichi
I really didn't know what to do...
I love KinKi Kids and Koichi, but I've always loved Shingo's personality and his smile,
even though I never liked SMAP :D
All the SMAP members are ranked relatively high,
despite the fact that I've never liked SMAP songs or their singing lol :D
Domoto Tsuyoshi on the top of the list wasn't a surprise, and Nagase Tomoya deserves the second spot.
He's too much fun. No wonder he's a good friend of KinKi.
Then I have this other meme I've apparently done ages ago, but didn't post it anywhere :D
I'll reanswer some questions and post it here :p

This is my second post today.
I did this incredible list of my albums/singles I own
and I want to share it everywhere and I'm bored lol.
I have the same list on my Last.fm account (which is micchan_ btw add me)
Not that anyone's interested, but I'll post it anyway lol.
That's all for now :D
This week's biggest events:
- Running the marathon SLOWLY. They told us that if it would rain, they would cancel the event, which was A BIG FAT LIE. We run the marathon even when it rained and the temperature wasn't even 10 degrees Celsius lol. I'm lucky I didn't catch a cold, but Rii did so I bet that I will catch one too any time soon...
- I think this was last week but hearing the newest NEWS album made me fall in love with NEWS again <3
"Forever" is my favorite ^^ Ryo's solo is hecka good (O_O) He's improved A LOT!
- Forgetting an important speech. I've been spending the whole week apologizing to various teachers. My excuse is that I already had about three different speeches during the last two weeks and this one slipped my mind. I should have written the date down properly. They say it's ok if I'll do the speech after two weeks or so.
Äidille ja isille: Mä oon itekki vihanen itelleni ku silleen unohdin sen puheen. Mä nyt toivoisin et ette soittais mulle tästä asiasta, tuntuu jo tarpeeks pahalta muutenkin.
- Getting my first really big homesickness moment during my 3 months of stay in Japan.
Related to the speech event mentioned earlier.
- Going to a ONE OK ROCK concert with Naomi, Jon and Chiaki <3 I didn't know much about ONE OK ROCK before, but they were really good on stage :P Two other bands performed as well. Tsuru was pure craziness XD
The biggest lol was a girl behind me, who went "I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING" already before the concert had begun :D
It's scary being a big girl in Japan lol.. I wonder if I'll live through the KinKi concert...
- KINKI KIDS CONCERT, WHICH IS TOMORROW!!! I already know what concert goods I want ^^ The Tokyo con limited bath towel is a must, and of course uchiwas. Preferably Tsuyoshi. I heard from Emi that since the concert starts at 4 pm, it would be best to go there already at 2:30 or so. If I want to buy the goods before the concert, that is. Uwaaah, seeing the two live <333 I hope they'll change the set list for the part 2.. We want キミは泣いてツヨクなる!!! But then again, I want to hear ボクの背中には羽根がある too...
Oh, and もう君以外愛せない! Lol Koichi, how many times did he screw that song up during these last 5 months? XD
I'm expecting a lot of fan service. They just can't save it all for the Osaka cons.
- Someone called me again last night. I gave my phone to Rii and she answered
"'Alo? 'Alo?" "........Hello?" "Nyan!!" "--- --- ---" XD
I want to change my phone number.. They call me even when I'm in Japan :D
If you want to see pictures GO FOR MY FACEBOOK PROFILE. I'm not going to upload pictures here.
Then one last completely unrelated note. I rented Ningen Shikkaku on DVD and watched it. Niimi-sensei became a joke of the month for me and Rii.
Haven't been writing much lately heheh...
I thought I should update now, since I finally met with my new host family yesterday. The family is about 65-year-old man and his wife. They do have a daughter, but she lives in London. The couple lives in Hino, about 15 minutes from Kichijoji by the faster train. I'll need to take train every morning. That should be fun. I'll also have to wake up 45 minutes earlier. They seemed to be quite nice and they have a GRAND PIANO in their little home so yeah :Dv
But the house is totally different from the one I'm living in now. My current house family is really energetic and the house is full of noise all the time. The next house will be very quiet compared to this one... I hope they'll let me watch Shin Domoto Kyoudai on Sundays, even if it airs a little bit late ^^
Nothing that interesting has happened recently, so I haven't been writing much lately... I've heard some awesome stuff, though.
My host father works as a lawyer and one of his colleagues is *insert20thcenturyfoxmusichere* JOHNNY KITAGAWA'S LAWYER. I mean...ZOMGNESS. Rii's grandfather goes to a bar where DOMOTO TSUYOSHI learns cooking from the bar's owner :DD Where is that bar? The owner is also a good friend of Johnny Kitagawa's wife lol. And that same owner is Rii's grandfather's friend lol. So...yeah.
Yesterday I pierced my left ear. Well, Rii pierced my ear.. But anyways, I got my ear pierced in a very unprofessional way lol. It hurt like crazy, really... But the spot is really good, so yay. It doesn't hurt nearly as much now either.
I also went shopping last Wednesday. I bought eight pairs of earrings (LOL) and boots ^^ Lol the shoes I bought were the biggest size they had... Oh well. I need to buy something for my Finnish friend's birthday, so a lot of money will go to waste...
So my Japanese teacher is trying to get me KinKi Kids' concert tickets. Her cousin is supposedly working on it right now lol. I can't wait to hear the results... I hope this works out fine, since I haven't joined the fan club yet :D KinKi has been so good with fanservice lately... Really, I can't wait for New Year's Eve, it's going to be full of love between those two <3
EF Party (or EF Welcome Orientation) is going to be held this Sunday in Shibuya. Me and Rii are going. Someone from EF called me today and asked some basic questions like "how's the school" or "is Japanese food tasty" or "do you have any friends yet", stuff like that :D
NEWS' newest single is a letdown... One song was pretty good can't remember the title but all in all NEWS has sung better songs than "Happy Birthday", seriously.
Last night there was a rather big earthquake here in Tokyo. I woke up because my bed was kind of jumping around. All I could think of at first was "hey, my bed is moving wtf". Then I thought it was a dream and went back to sleep XD Have you ever heard of a person who goes back to sleep when his/her bed is moving around the house?
I got a new cellphone yesterday wohoo (^o^)v It's really cute and has 485629876458263549876263 emoticons. I've been playing with it like crazy. I just figured out the way to send mail so yay :Dv I'll post a picture later probably ^^ The best thing about the phone was the fact that it cost me 0 yen :D I need to pay 1,800-6,000 yen every month in order to send mail etc. but that's not too much.
I need to pay 5,000 yen to enter KinKi Kids fanclub... Yes, KinKi Kids. Not NEWS (O_O) I guess I can get concert tickets more easily if I join the fanclub. I've got a few friends at school who have joined the NEWS' fanclub so I think I won't join that, at least for now.
Today I went to see some exhibition thing, marimekko and artek (both Finnish brands). I was expecting a lot of marimekko stuff but there really wasn't much to see... I was a bit disappointed. There was a tower-like thing made of stools. That was rather cool.
One year ago (September 16th, 2007) I saw www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd-c7et3_yI after searching for KAT-TUN videos (bleh...) and fell in love with the song that NEWS sang (I LOVE that slow version of the song btw). "SHOCK ME" is still one of my favorite songs, and is STILL my most played song of all time.
Today is my one year anniversary of fangirling NEWS. Yay for that.
I watched the rather gay PV of "Happy Birthday" today. Can't say that I liked the song and Ryo's hair...soo out but hey, it's NEWS and they were cute and Yamapi was cute and the PV was...well yeah. But I love them all so no prob XD
Yesterday I went to Kichijoji for shopping with Rii. I bought KinKi Kids' "39" album and their "Fun Fan Forever" concert DVD from 2003... I thought I'd buy "Secret Code" but I don't really like buying singles. Should've bought something NEWS related, though :P
They say that you don't get fat in Japan because the food is so healthy, but that's a lie. I've totally gained weight during these 3 and a half weeks. Maybe it's not the food, but the amount I've eaten lol...
I've been having a lot of headaches recently. My neck hurts and I think it's somehow connected to the headaches. Other than that, I've been extremely sleepy, too. Rii and Saku have both had a flu, so I'm afraid that it's the same for me now.
At last it's OVER.
Myojo Gakuen High School had it's annual Myosai festival this weekend. The festival was something I've never experienced before! Everyone helped with the preparations, we had huge signs and a lot of well-practiced performances.
My personal favorite was the japanese drum thing. So cool!
I really didn't have much time to look around, though. I was selling cup noodles for 200yen. This morning me and Rii ate one of those cup noodles for breakfast. Rii said it smelled like Myosai festival lol.
On Saturday I went to a birthday party with Rii. I don't remember whose birthday it was but it was so much fun :D At first eating pasta at some restaurant and after that " karaoke", which was more like 9 people shouting the lyrics than actually singing them lol. I sang KinKi, NEWS and Utada Hikaru again.
If I'm lucky, I get to see NEWS with Kiyomi, Rii and Rie this year :P Winter tour, getto! But I want to see KinKi, too...
Yesterday I went to a Thai restaurant with Rii, Icchan, Kyuu and Saku. After that we went to Inogashira park with Rii and tried to see the Moon. In Japan they say the Moon is the most beautiful on September 14th. Stupid clouds blocked the Moon, though, so we ended up just talking about random stuff.
They didn't air Shin Domoto Kyoudai yesterday (>_>) Why F1? Ended up taking self portraits.
This morning I realized that my "gojagoja corner" (meaning untidy corner, basically) has turned into a "gojagoja tower". It's already reaching my pillow XD After a while all the various items will take over my bed... Oh well.
Today and tomorrow is vacation. I'll probably go shopping again tomorrow...
Ja~n! Finally. I'm here. In Japan. A lot of stuff has happened during these two weeks here in Tokyo.
My family is better than I could ever dream of. Everyone's reeeally nice to me and I have no trouble with communicating with them. I've only been here for two weeks but the language is already getting easier and easier to understand. Rii's Japanese is reeeally fast but I actually understand quite a lot. It's good that Naho can speak English well, because sometimes I need to ask what something means. We're mainly using Japanese, though ^^
During these two weeks I've visited:
Harajuku (shopping: clothes, JOHNNY'S SHOP)
Shibuya (shopping: clothes)
Kichijoji (shopping)
...a lot of shopping... I never bought anything in Finland (O_O)
Rii has taken me to a lot of places and it's really fun to talk with her. We don't have much in common but she's really funny and extremely nice so we get a long quite well. Ichiyou is CUTE but a bit noisy (^^;) That's fine with me, though. It's not like my family was any quieter lol. Saku is nice as well. He went to a fashion show with me since Rii couldn't make it lol.
Yes, I went to this huge fashion event, which apparently is really popular in Japan. It was called "Tokyo Girls Collection". I've never been to a fashion show before ^^ Interesting interesting ^^ I didn't know any of the models though. Tsuchiya Anna is somewhat familiar but... Some of the models were apparently famous since the audience seemed really excited at times. I was just observing :P But remind me NOT to eat flavoured ice, at least in front of a guy. At first I thought the spoon was a straw XD It REALLY looked like a straw, who designed that kind of a spoon? After figuring out the spoon's real identity, I threw a spoonful of ice on the table. After eating half of the ice I dropped the spoon. WTH? So embarrassing XD Also, remind me NOT to wear high heels to a show which lasts for at least 7 hours. The show was held on Saturday but my feet still hurt. Too much walking around... Not fun. But the event was fun ^^ Ya~y!
I bought my copy of NEWS' "pacific" DVD, KinKi Kids' "We R Phin' 39! and U?" DVD, KinKi Kids' "Phi" album and Utada Hikaru's newest album (can't remember the name but it's really gooood!) ^^ KinKi Kids is going to have a concert in Dome in 3 months... I want a ticket but the concert is probably sold out already...
Lol I've been having a KinKi Kids mania here, too XD Everyday KinKi. I just realised that those guys are BUSY...
Yesterday I went to karaoke with Rii and Rie :DD I sang KinKi, ayaka and NEWS. Karaoke is FUN! Rie was awesome. KinKi's songs are all pretty much impossible to sing. What's with all the low notes?
I've been to a movie teather as well (O_O) I've seen "Ponyo", "Sky Crawlers" and "Across the Universe". That's like...more than I ever watched in Finland during one year XD In two weeks...3 movies. Awesomeness.
I think I'm going to end my report here, I don't have battery and I still have a lot of things to tell about. Bye-su!
I think I should get my stuff ready for the departure already...
I've bought something for the family, too. Moomin towels and Finnish chocolate lol. Not anything too fancy but I hope they'll like them. If they don't like the chocolate I can certainly eat it, because it's really GOOD :P;;;
But!
Now I'm reeeally scared! It seems that I have to travel to Mitaka by bus ALL BY MYSELF.
I'M GOING TO GET LOST FOR SURE.
Lee is going to meet me at some temple in Mitaka so I don't have to worry once I get there, but still...
I bet I'm going to take the wrong bus or something lol.
5 days to go.
Should I feel nervous now?
ps. I though I'd change my "exchange student year" tag to "japan".
