You guys may get bored in reading this. I just posted this to voice out my feelings because I don't have anyone to talk about it. XD I just feel very nostalgic at the moment.



Before I became addicted with K-Pop, I was really addicted to Japanese pop. And not the normal addiction that you guys may think--it's addiction to the point wherein you guys would totally be creeped out (which is why I don't talk about it now... well, I still listen to some songs, but whenever I do, I'd feel nostalgic because I remember all the good things that happened back then, and how those songs remind me of those times).

Back when I was a kid, I already liked Asian music even though it seemed weird (says my family). I remembered when F4 (Taiwanese boy band) first appeared on my TV and I'd be like "Hua Zi Lei!" and I'd sing their songs (Fireworks, Meteor Rain, Can't Help Falling in Love and etc.) But since everyone thought it was weird, I gave it up.

Then I got interested in Samurai X (which is, by the way, my favorite anime of all time) and I had this itsy bitsy teeny weeny little crush on Kenshin. (up until now, I do. Gosh, having a crush on an anime character is so weird. Pardon me. xD) And then I liked Naruto and when Music Station was broadcasted on Animax, I watched it whenever i had the chance.

At the same time back then, I had a crush who likes Japanese pop too, and we would totally relate (which is why I continue watching those Japanese MVs till I encounter a Japanese boy band called Hey! Say! JUMP that definitely made my heart go boom). We had our biases there--mine was Yuto while hers was Chinen (yes, you didn't see it wrong. I had a crush on a girl, but it can't be avoided because I was studying in an all girls' school. But nothing serious. Now, I'm totally straight, thanks to Hey! Say! JUMP and my guy crushes XD). So yeah.

Ever since then, I became obsessed with that boy band to the point that I even made a scrapbook of them (nah. Only for Nakajima Yuto, actually. XDD) I even had plans on going to Japan to see him--heck, I even learned Japanese so that in case I'd get the chance to actually talk to him, we'd understand each other. It's embarrassing, but now recalling these things just make me laugh. But then, reality hit me, and I've never gotten so addicted towards a band in that way ever again (thank God!). Though I like Korean pop, I don't go beyond that. I don't learn Korean so that just in case I'd get a chance to meet these artists, we'd be able to communicate or something, I don't have plans on going to South Korea just to go to YG or SM Entertainment and wait for them there until I'd get the chance to speak with them; I don't make scrapbooks of them anymore because I thought that it was so... unusual to the point that people would actually be freaked out.

So yeah... since then, I just kept these J-Pop memories in a box. But still, whenever I'd listen to their songs, they make me happy at the same time because I remember those times when I was back in my old school, with my old friends and my ex-crush and how we'd just spazz about J-Pop. LOLOL


I missed spazzing about Hey! Say! JUMP and Yuto. Now, I'm spazzing about Yamada. XDD
I missed spazzing about KAT-TUN and how Jin and Kame look good together. Now, Jin's married and my hopes of AkaMe being real has diminished before my very eyes. (lol so the drama. XD)
I missed shipping Mao and Jun together during their Hana Yori Dango days, and how I'd sing to every Arashi song that I knew. XD (Kimi wo aisuzukeru~)
I don't miss AKB48, SKE48 or any other Hello! Project girls. XD
But I do miss hearing the better songs of Ayumi Hamasaki and Utada Hikaru's heavenly voice.
I missed watching Hana Kimi Japan all the time, and how I'd get excited whenever Nakatsu (Ikuta Toma) reacts when Mizuki (Horikita Maki) was around.
I missed shipping YamaKi together (YamaPi and Maki Horikita. REALLY GOOD COUPLE INDEED).
I missed my other crush (a guy) with whom I'd spazz these things with and how we'd tease each other constantly.

Now everything else seems nostalgic (because I don't update myself with them anymore. I keep these memories inside a little box at the corner of my mind). Bwahahahahaha :DDDD Anyway, I'm now living a "normal" fangirl's way of life. XDD


They used to be the ones that made me so ecstatic.




Oh, and I have something unbelievable to talk about them as well. It's weird, in a way.

I remembered when my classmates had these Japanese exchange students with them and when I asked them "Do you know Hey! Say! JUMP?" and they were like "Hey! Say! JUMP? How did you know about them!?"

I was like, "I really, really like them! I was a big fan of them since they debuted as Hey! Say! 7 in 2007 and when they evolved into Hey! Say! JUMP."

Then Yuu and Yoshie were talking in Japanese to themselves. Afterward, Yuu told me. "My, uh... what do you call that term? Someone that I know works with Hey! Say! JUMP, so I know them personally."

I died.

I told them. "Who? Your mother? Aunt? Friend? Cousin? Maid? Distant cousin? Acquaintance? WHAT!?!"

And they were like "I'm sorry. I forgot the term."

"Could you say it in Japanese? Perhaps I may understand your relationship better that way." I said.

asnfosidnao, Yuu replied, and I just nodded my head. TT_____TT

But then, a few months after they returned to Japan, Hey! Say! JUMP released a music video called "Arigato (Sekai no Doko ni Ite mo)" [[Translation: Thank you (wherever in the world you may be)]] and they were all saying thank you in different languages, including Tagalog and I was like O________________O



I don't know how to put my point in words but it just... I can't believe how these events were connected, in a way. So yeah. XDD Like, it was triggered or something. >.<

Anyway............ so enough blogging for now. I have tons of homeworks to finish.
