AQEELA!!! LOOK AT YOUR FLAWLESS MEN <3

     

 

AHHHHH MY FLAWLESS MEN <3

[straycat]

Here's another one <3

 

I'M IN HEAVEN!

[straycat]

Halu will participate in EXILE's PERFORMER BATTLE AUDITION!

 

omg that took me by surprise but if it's Halu then I'M ALL FOR IT!

GENE performers will also participate so it'll be a tough competition~

 

Halu wrote a message about it. How he idolizes EXILE and it's been a dream of his to become a part of EXILE
As you know guys, Halu got into LDH through NAOKI, which means he does have experience in dancing. What surprise is that he wrote he's been dancing for 10 years now :| I didn't know about that omg he's my fav and I know basically nothing about him OTL /rant

He also said that seeing how he's 26 years old now, this is his only chance to realize his dream

(that was a rough translation. feel free to correct anything)

 

I'M TEAM HALU NOW YOU BETTER GET READY TO BE SLAYED!

Let's say he becomes an EXILE member---Will he leave Gekidan EXILE?

 

Most likely. If he becomes an EXILE member (goes for the winner in general) he'll have to train more. Probably appear on more TV shows (like how EXILE did when TAKAHIRO/2JSB members joined) Think of it as introducing him to the public. Like a period of time for the fans and public to accept/recognize him as a member of EXILE.

And if he wants to continue acting you can bet he'll get roles~

 

Maybe, Yuta can try out for PBA. 

 

Yuta doesn't meet the age requirement. Even though HIRO-papa gathered the guys and told them they can participate, only GENE performers and Halu did, which means the others either declined or couldn't for some reason~

[straycat]

Halu's translated message about PBA

 

 

This is Kyosuke Harukawa from GEKIDAN EXILE.
As announced today, I decided to challenge EXILE PERFORMER BATTLE AUDITION.

I have always admired and loved EXILE. Becoming an EXILE member is my dream.
I started to dance 10 years ago, and made my debut as an actor. I joined GEKIDAN EXILE about 5 years ago.
During the 5 years, as a member of EXILE TRIBE, I have been close to EXILE and learnt a lot.
For that reason, my desire to be an EXILE member becomes stronger.

And this time,
HIRO retired from performer team and EXILE chapter 4 starts.
I have been working as an actor, and now, at the age of 25, this audition will be my last chance.
As a member of GEKIDAN EXILE, with the love for GEKIDAN and EXILE, with pride and determination, I will challenge with my utmost effort.
I sincerely hope all you could support me.

Thank you very much.

 

[straycat]

Thanks for sharing. <3

 

You're welcome <3

 

Here are the messages from the rest of Gekidan EXILE about the battle and Halu's participation

 

 

â– Sho Aoyagi

This time, when I heard EXILE PERFORMER BATTLE AUDITION will be held, I get really excited as a member of EXILE TRIBE, though my main activity is on theatre.

I hear that Harukawa from GEKIDAN EXILE will participate in the audition. Since we have known his thoughts, we hope he will would his best if he decides to do it.

This year is EXILE TRIBE PERFECT YEAR.

It is our great honor to join such a festival. We would do our best to bring you great performance.

 

 

â– Shintaro Akiyama

This is Shintaro Akiyama from GEKIDAN EXILE.

Harukawa from GEKIDAN EXILE will challenge this audition. Since we were in the Hana Group of GEKIDAN EXILE, Harukawa has been my partner and friend who could liven up the atmosphere of GEKIDAN EXILE. And this partner is challenging EXILE PERFORMER BATTLE AUDITION. I know that he is full of fighting spirits, and since the responsibility of joining EXILE is great, he has to do his best.

If an EXILE member is born in GEKIDAN EXILE, a dream of GEKIDAN EXILE will come true!

If the No.1 entertainment group of Japan chooses its member from GEKIDAN EXILE......Though it is a difficult path, as the partner of Harukawa, we will support him.

The powerful dream holders from the whole Japan will be joining. If someday we could create the best entertainment on a stage together...

This audition is the assembly of dreams!

Though I will not join PERFORMER BATTLE AUDITION, I am looking forward to the future partner as if I were also challenging^_^

 

 

â– Yuta Ozawa

This time, Harukawa from GEKIDAN EXILE will challenge this audition. Since GEKIDAN EXILE set off, I have known his wish and determination.

No matter what the result will be, I will support him earnestly.

By participating in the audition of GEKIDAN EXILE, I learnt various new things that I have never experienced before. I am sure there must be different kinds of people who join this audition with their dreams.

I sincerely hope that we could keep our mind as it was in the beginning and we could follow our dreams till the end.

 

 

â– Nobuyuki Suzuki

Last year, I heard about this EXILE PERFORMER BATTLE AUDITION from HIRO directly!

This time, though I am just a supporter, I will support EXILE TRIBE members, especially Harukawa from GEKIDAN EXILE with all my strength!

I hope he could bet his life on EXILE and win the audition with utmost effort!

As GEKIDAN EXILE as well as an individual, I will also aim at higher goals and work harder.

 

 

â– Keita Machida

In order to recruit an EXILE member, the big dream project EXILE PERFORMER BATTLE AUDITION is going to be held this time. I am very excited about it.

And Harukawa from GEKIDAN EXILE will challenge this audition.

I have known Harukawa since I joined GEKIDAN EXILE. I think he is a very stoic senior member. Now the stoic Harukawa is going to challenge his dream in the audition, as a GEKIDAN EXILE member, I sincerely support him!

This audition will be an important project in EXILE's history. As a member of EXILE TRIBE, I will also watch it carefully, and I will not miss any part.

 

 

â– Hayato Onozuka

EXILE PERFORMER BATTLE AUDITION is coming. As a member of EXILE TRIBE, it is great honor for me to witness the moment when a new EXILE member is born.

I admire EXILE and have always been dreaming of becoming an EXILE member in the future.

So I entered EXPG Tokyo School, and worked hard every day to become a vocalist.

Now as a member of GEKIDAN EXILE, I have just set off on the way to a top actor. The dream I once aimed at still remains unchanged.

I want to support all those who challenge this audition. I hope their dreams will come true.

While I am excited about the start of EXILE chapter 4, I have also determined to improve myself constantly.

Everyone, please stay tuned and witness the moment of the new EXILE member's birth!

 

 

â– Shuhei Nogae

Hello, everyone.

This is Shuhei Nogae from GEKIDAN EXILE.

Since this time EXILE PERFORMER BATTLE AUDITION is to be held, I have carefully thought about whether I should challenge it. At last I decided not to but to watch it.

It is my great honor to closely watch EXILE, the group I have been watching from the past, transforming and progressing to chapter 1, 2, 3 and finally to chapter 4.

And I sincerely respect those participants in the audition!

To leave no regrets over my choice this time, I shall spare no effort to do what I should do now.

I hope all of you could support me^ ^

 

 

â– Masayasu Yagi

I am proud that this audition, which the new performer of EXILE will be selected, is the greatest level ever since. I know that Harukawa from GEKIDAN EXILE will join as well. There's no doubt that I will also support him with all my strength. I wish him all the best in the audition.

I will not take my eyes off this audition for even a second.

Oh they're making another Aragure movie? Still no sub for the first one OTL that or I somehow missed it

[straycat]

Yuta is getting his own play titled Psychometrer Eiji based on a manga

Again... he got a bad-guy-but-good-inside role XP

 

The manga is supposedly about a high schooler who gets into fights but has a gift of touching stuff and learning more info about their owners. His gift is discovered by a police officer who convinces him to work with her and solve cases~ There's also a bad guy who knows about him. Probably wanna get him to do the exact opposite~

We've been blessed on this fine day with not only one but FOUR Gekidan EXILE different profile pics

 

 

Day made

[straycat]

Yes!!    Is this like a Harry Potter spoof? 

 

It's from GTO. Yeah I think it has something to do with Harry Potter XD

[straycat]

Actually, Aoyagi joined the very first VBA but didn't make it. And I can't say all but I believe some of them still take vocal/dance lessons. At least most of them had to before joining Gekidan EXILE to being with~

Edited June 11, 2014 by straycat

[straycat]

Oh, I didn't know that.    Interesting!!

 

Yeah. I can confirm that at least Aoyagi, Yuta, Nobuyuki, Halu and Keita take/took some kind of dance lessons. Yuta blogged recently about breakdancing too~ Nobuyuki can dance to Rising Sun. Aoyagi took dancing and vocal lessons when he joined EXPG before becoming a Gekidan EXILE member. Halu just participated in PBA and Keita was a former GENERATIONS member and was made leader before withdrawing. I'm not sure about the rest but I guess you can add Sway since he's more involved with rapping so it's not that far fetched that he can dance, and Masa since he participated in VBA2 so he must have taken a lesson or two at least~

Hayato will be in the daytime drama Aono Umi~ LONG SUMMER ~

 

 

The drama has an NMB48 girl so I hope someone subs it XD

I'm so happy for Hayato-kun X3

 

And here's the story from LDH website:

 

This is a story about the first love between a girl and a boy who meet each other in Okinawa. This unceasing love lasts for 15 years.
The boss of a construction company in Tokyo has a daughter called Mai Kodate (17) who is troubled by complicated family issues.

The mother who brought her up is not her biological mother.

One day, Mai finds out that her real mother is from Okinawa.

She loves her real mother and she wants to know her real mother anyway.
To search for her real mother, Mai comes to Okinawa and meets private hotel manager's son Kota Aragaki, by chance.

When they first meet, Mai thinks Kota is a "greedy rich kid". But when she learns that he has a sick younger sister, she is charmed by his strength and gentleness......

On the other hand, Kota also thinks Mai is a "spoilt brat" at first. But gradually, he is touched by her honesty and her gentle attitude towards his younger sister Kaho, and starts to trust her.

As time goes by, Mai and Kota become dependent on each other.
However, their parents secrets and the death of an important person pull them apart......

 

[straycat]

HOW DID I MISS THIS? OMG HE'S SO CUTE HERE

 

Also since we're updating XP

The latest Shuukan EXILE had a Gekidan EXILE part    and it was soooo awesome 

 

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1vpfou_140520-%E9%80%B1%E5%88%8Aexile_lifestyle

 

Starts from 17:54

[straycat]

I was biting my pillow the whole time while watching Gekidan EXILE part

 

it looks really fun

 

ikr? I kept repeating it XD I sooo wanted to be there (even though I wouldn't understand a thing)

and omg they looked super handsome... so close... 

[straycat]

they are!

 

I thought all Gekidan members would be in The Mensetsu. I'm glad Nobuyuki and Keita won't be there

 

but dayem, all of The Mensetsu casts with black hair! so gorgeous!

 

I was gonna ask you what it's about but checked LDH site for info. It's basically a stageplay about guys going for THE final interview for a job and who's gonna be the "winner" etc etc. I like the story   and it appears it was done before in 2006 and 2010 but with EXILE members. I didn't know~

 

 

One month. A final final final final exam was taken in a room of a company.

All the interviewees want to work here more than anything.

And the interviewers also eagerly want to find out the most excellent candidate.

But those in this room are tough guys and difficult to deal with.

The fight between each other's wisdom and self-esteem, and the intense battle for the future, starts now.

Who will be the winner?!! This is a story about a final interview.

 

[straycat]

Happy birthday to SWAAAAAAAAYYYYY! <3
