Lol Canjani8. XD

How awesome that they did Mugendai after a long time. It's 8/8 soon (Mugen-day!) and their anniversaries (Kansai & nationwide).

Julie vs Iijima. FujiTV tends to lean towards Iijima when it comes to FNS especially since Kusanagi is hosting. So far among Julie's groups, only Arashi and TOKIO get to be on the show every year besides the 'neutrals' (V6 and KinKi Kids). At least for this summer, FNS is mixing up Julie & Iijima's groups so far (3 from Julie, 3 from Iijima), but you can really feel the divide during TBS' Ongaku no Hi (Iijima) and NTV's The Music Day (Julie+neutrals). There's a speculation though that FujiTV is pulling away from Iijima a bit (no Countdown, no new shows for Iijima's groups, less guesting in shows etc). I used to like Iijima a lot because I was a SMAP fan and she did well by them. But Kisumai and Sexy Zone are a mess with her policy of 3/4 and 3/2 divides respectively. Sure Kisumai is selling (now) but that's thanks to their 11 versions of the singles/albums. She couldn't do something for ABC-Z too. Which is why I'm glad that JWEST transferred from Iijima to Julie. There was a divide of 4/3 at first, but there was a speculation that Iijima (and her team) might have hated that JWEST insisted that the 7 of them stand together. Eito were neutrals at first too, so I can't speculate why they chose to go or were put under Julie. However there were rumours that Iijima dislikes Eito because they were too 'free', opinionated and like to do whatever they want. Oops sorry I went off the tangent!
-
Ah it's the summer version. Which is kinda strange, since Eito are under Julie I'd never thought they'll get invited again this year. The reason they got to be on it last year was because of Matchy's anniversary lol. Let's see if they'll get invited to year-end FNS. Hopefully so!

Actually someone else composed the music but Maru wrote the lyrics for Natsu no Koibito.

You're welcome!

I've noticed some Eighters are ignorant or forgetful of the fact that JWEST/Kanju have always had a corner on Janiben since forever. They're basically regulars! Their current corner is called Itadaki Jani which takes like 6-7 minutes of VTR, non-Eito time from Janiben. What I see from these new corners are that they're replacing Itadaki Jani. Instead of 7 minutes of non-Eito, we'll be getting 7 minutes of extra Eito and this should've made Eighters happy. Because well, extra Eito yay! And instead of random person's voice narrating the VTRs on 3takku No.1 and SHOWTIME, we'll get 2 cute faces reporting from the locations. Nothing really changes except, cute people in the VTRs yay! So about the new corners, 2 JWEST members, starting with Akito & Shige, will be in charge of 3takku No.1 on location and in the studio. This corner starts on August 5th. I believe the Marugoto SHOWTIME corner will still have Yamada in the studio as MCs because Kanju will only be providing location report. Kanju will start with Hamanaka Bunichi & Mukai Koji. This corner starts on July 29th. Notice that these 2 corners will alternate weeks. This is how I'm convinced that they're replacing Itadaki Jani because Itadaki Jani also alternates between JWEST and Kanju, 2-3 members at a time. As for the new Eito corner, 2 members will go out on location to find out what's good about Kansai, starting with Ryo & Maru on July 29th. And Eighters who still have doubts about JWEST/Kanju supposedly 'invading' (regulars don't invade, regulars stay!), they should read this translated Janiben renewal interview with Eito and Akito & Shige: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sn2grf Like I mentioned above, JWEST are in charge of 3takku No.1. They will start with Akito & Shige first.
-
Eito are so supportive of their juniors. I remember Shige related the story of how when he was still a junior and got to act in a movie with other Tokyo Jrs (he was the only Kansai Jr) and he was surprised that the others treated him so nicely. Apparently Subaru appeared on set and asked the Tokyo Jrs to take care of Shige! And Hina, Maru & Yasu went to see JWest's first tour and Hina gave them 20 marks. Later he said that his own debut concert was only 2 marks lol!
-
A sign of a top group is that you're able to rotate your centers and people will accept it.
-
Yeah when they finally announced their debut in countdown concert, only 4 of them were supposed to debut at first (Akito, Junta, Shige & Kotaki). Akito & Junta were close friends with Hamada for years (Akito & Hamada entered JE together) while Shige & Kotaki were in 7WEST with Kamiyama & Ryusei (and Kotaki & Ryusei are bffs). They worked extremely hard to debut as 7 to the point of negotiating with Johnny himself. I'm thinking that Johnny-san is more lenient these days though if he's able to see these kids' reasons. With Eito stepping in to help West and Kanju proactively, maybe it doesn't have to wait after 10 years or 5 Tokyo groups debuting to get another Kansai group to debut.
-
Yeah I've read about this story too. Kanju really had/have it bad. Imagine only debuting a group once every 10 years. When Sexy Zone debuted, I honestly thought current JWEST members Akito, Junta and Hamada were done for. And Johnny-san even dared to split the members up for debut at first. Kudos that the 7 stood their grouund. Also kudos to Ryo (and Uchi at the time) for sticking with K8 even though he already debuted with NEWS. Having to wait for a year not knowing whether Eito would debut or not must be hard on them.

^ Glad that it's settled finally. Anyway after New York, Misono Universe's next stop is Montreal, Canada! http://www.fantasiafestival.com/2015/en/films-schedule/4/la-la-la-at-rock-bottom

Looking forward to this week's Chronicle.
-
It's a new corner where 2 members of Jwest will appear in the studio at a time, starting with Akito and Shige. The purpose of this corner is to level up their MC skills with Eito's help lol. Kanju will also be on location for Yamada's corner. I'm guessing this new corner will be replacing the current Jwest/Kanju corner. Besides that, Team Sunshine will also be going on location. I think they're going to rotate the members. This Janiben renewal starts on July 29th.

Haha that's so cute of him.

So much fun!

Johnny's shuffle medley is scheduled at 6.50pm JST. Eito's special stage is scheduled at 8.40pm JST.
-
Some interesting stuff in the medley: like TakkiSuba reunion, Subaru in the Garasu no Shounen shuffle where he botched the song in front of KinKi Kids during Shiwake Eito, the Garasu no Shounen shuffle is made up of Dreamboys except Nagase, most of Weekender shuffle is made up of shorties (Yasu, Kamiyama, Nino, Massu), Kotaki in MADE IN JAPAN shuffle but he wasn't even born yet when the song came out, etc.

My sister, who's a big Acid Black Cherry fan, went mad with anger yesterday. a-nation suddenly adds him in the lineup. See, ABC is now scheduled to appear on Aug 30th. The thing is, he would've just finished the free live and then on Sept 1st, L tour starts. Apparently the tickets aren't selling as well as they've hoped because they add ABC AFTER the FC lotteries and other lotteries including Playguide. (I just saw that EXO and SUPER JUNIOR tickets being resold at cheap prices, some even cheaper than the original price. So much bragging but not able to fill stadiums, huh?). Sure ABC has been one of the major draw of a-nation for years because he gives such powerful lives. But his fans are really mad at Avex this time, especially since yasu has been having non-stop lives since March. They're very concerned for his health.
-
Last year's shuffle was pretty awesome so couldn't wait for this year's. It's a pity though that Eito don't have a representative in JWEST's Eejanaika.

This week's KanJam guests are Every Little Thing and Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku.

Gosh that Chronicle episode is full of sneakiness and betrayal, so much fun! Btw, K8's 33rd single will be released on August 5th! The title track is called "Maemuki Scream!" and Canjani8's "CANDY MY LOVE" will be a B-side track. There will be 3 versions. The Limited Pressing will have a DVD with CANDY MY LOVE PV, limited until Oct 20th only. The usual LE will have Maemuki Scream! PV + making, and some sort of rock video for Zukkoke Otokomichi. The RE will have the 2 songs, an untitled song and the band version of ZOM!
-
Yes, watch it! Plus season 2 will start airing in October so look forward to it.

enshinge on twitter has translated bits from this pamphlet. She already did Subaru's so maybe she'll do others too. Her livejournal is enshinge.

Ah this is from the latest FC pamphlet. This week's Kanjam guests are Makihara Noriyuki and Kishidan!
