Some Notable Facts:

-Koyama, Kusano, and Shigeaki of NewS used to be part of K.K. Kity.
-Nakajima Yuto (JJ Express) played Kamenashi's younger brother in Nobuta wo Produce.
-Toushin Yoshikazu was often associated with ABC.

Cool! A Junior thread for me to pimp Kansai Jr!


^_^
The guy whose name can't be seen well is Hayashi Matori (I totally heart him). Poor Kunta is cutted half because I couldn't scan it better ;_;
Muro, Kiriyama and Nakama are in a unit called B.A.D. with Itou Masashi, who's not in the picture... Rest of them are "Kansai BOYS".

And while I'm there:



Some pictures I bought at Johnny's shop. First one is Nakama and Hamada, second one is B.A.D... The guy in blue-white-striped shirt is mister X because I don't know who he is. He might or might not be Hamanaka Bunichi, who WAS in B.A.D. at some point (as far as I know he's still in Johnny's though)... Anyway, the rest of them are: front left - Nakama, front right - Kiriyama, behind Kiriyama - Itou, behind Itou - Muro. And the last picture is Hayashi Matori.

And two pics from Johnny's shop of Ikuta Touma too, because he's awesome:



Oh and I should correct some things... 4TOPS, Toushin YoshiKazu and NEWS' Katou (Shigeaki) was in K.K.Kity too. ^_^

[Chatin]

Thanks, fuyumi, for the corrections!! ^^

I had been watching some Ya-Ya-Yah and Shounen Club recently, and felt the urge to have a place to talk about the Juniors.  Of course, I was bound to mess some things up!

Thanks for sharing the B.A.D. and Kansai BOYS pictures too!

And two pics from Johnny's shop of Ikuta Touma too, because he's awesome:

In the thumbnail, he looks like Jimmy Fallon gone redhead.

Wow, some of them are my age o_o And some of them look funny. HEHE

[fuyumi]

Haha

You should like him, he's like, Yamapi's best friend! They were ALWAYS together in Yamapi's junior days.

A.B.C. performed their new song, Crazy Accel, on this last Shounen Club.

A.B.C. - Crazy Accel (mp3) - YouSendIt (EXPIRED)

I like the song quite a bit, myself.  I wonder if we'll ever hear a longer version, though.  You can also check the Johnnys TV thread for videos of the performance!

[Chatin]

Ya-Ya-Yah! performed their new song, Summer x Summer x Summer, on their show this past Sunday.  

Ya-Ya-Yah - Summer x Summer x Summer (mp3) - YouSendIt

Please feel free to check this one out, and please feel free to comment!  It gets lonely in here!

Fujigaya Taisuke, of Kis-My-Ft2, will be having a role in the summer dorama Shimokita Sundays along with Ueto Aya and others.  The role doesn't seem to be big, but it's a role nonetheless!

Apparently the Johnnys Jrs shots from the August issues were part of a Johnnys Jrs in USA thing.  Doesn't make much of a difference to me, though.

Question?

They are really pimping Yuto like he is the ace of the next generation.  I hope they're right, otherwise we have another Tops & Toshin situation of people who have nothing to do despite being pimped for years.

[Daisuki Daiiyo]

*doesn't know too much about JJrs.*

I feel bad for all of those "Juniors" who haven't debuted yet, and are getting up there in the age department xD

And B.A.D. looks... bad Yay for Ya-Ya-Yah! though! The only JJr group I remotely recognise

[suki*]

Tops & Toshin still have a chance since they are still young. People like M.A. have been around for years are at an age where they are considered pretty old, but are still stuck dancing backup for people or doing just pure stagework. T_T

I love M.A. and feel so sorry that they are always second fiddle to everybody else. T_T

That said, another JJ group that's worth mentioning is fiVe. They are an AWESOME band!! AWESOME!! ^o^

I guess Yuto had a problem with me calling Tegoshi Yuya of NewS the bunny boy.  Yuto has to get a better haircut before I can be his fan, though.

Taiyo has actually began looking less lanky and more cool lately.  Poor Hikaru can never look cool though.
