Strange obsessions or .. Una in her complete incoherency

[scottishlass]

What is it with Johnny's Entertainment and the obvious obsession with pirates?
Ever since Kimura started to wear his skull ring as far back as 1998 (I think I spotted that ring in a 1998 PV of SMAP) skulls and bones and stuff are cropping up among other Johnny's bands. The latest being NewS sporting pseudo Japanese renditions of pirate wear and skulls and bones on clothes.
Right before Sample Bang SMAP already sported skulls and stuff as various accessoiries be it pins, rings, chains or what not, or even skulls on t-shirts. Heck, I even saw a t-shirt from a local punk band on Tusyoshi once (Toten Hosen have a skull and bones as their emblem).
And now, two years later, it seems Johnny sees himself as Captain Johnny with his crew of young hands sailing the seven seas. Even KAT-TUN sport the piratey accessoiries now, though I have to admit I yet have to spot them on Arashi.
Though I have to admit, from all the piratey outfits, I think SMAP still looks best. *nods* yep, definitely :)


The strange things that you think of on a Monday morning :)

Today I need to get a lot of things done before going in for chemo again tomorrow. I want to get a lot out of the way, otherwise I'll be too tired and sick to do it tomorrow afternoon or the day after.
Lost another bushel of hair this morning, by the pace this is going I will definitely don my own rendition of piratey wear and wear a pirate shawl on my head - it is far too warm to wear my cap.

Finally managed to rip Kimi wo wasurenai even though the subs are still wonky but it is the best I can do :s Uploading the files atm and hopefully can post it later today. Also Gift is coming along AT LAST! I hope to have ep 4 finished by Wednesday, if not the whole bulk of the ep by tonight with only a few finishing touches on Wednesday. YAY!

And now for something completely different - though the red thread of strange outfits continues here, too :)
In June there will be another Regency event and I still don't know if I should sew a new outfit. For the longest time, I wanted a black muslin dress with white or grey lining to break up the harshness of the black and if I start now (I have the black muslin) I can finish it by June but on the other hand I have this lovely mulsin dress with these little printed flowers that I sew last year for a picnic and I think it should get a second wearing. However, as this even in June is more of a impromptu ball and evening gathering, a print is not really suitable *sigh* I could wear my white muslin and just sew myself a new pelisse for it. Decisions, decisions!

The pirate pic made me GIGGLE OUT LOUD WITH GLEE. YAY KIMURA!PIRATE!

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

OH yeah :) I was like OH WOAH!! When I saw that pirate segment in the Sample Bang Tour ... they even sang: Yo Ho Ho A pirate's life for me :)

Btw, I discovered after watching the first ep of Saiyuuki this weekend that the actor who plays the Monkey King is a SMAP member. That means I now know who TWO of them are!!

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Yep, Shingo is teh Monkey King in Saiyuuki. And did you notice Kimura? He is sooooo beauitful as the evil Emperor :)

[calixa.livejournal.com]

Yes! He was mad sexy ;) It was one reason why I wanted to check it out. (The main reason is because I love watching adaptations of Journey to the West, it's one of my favourite childhood stories!)

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah he was super-sexy. And those little smirks ... *swoon*

[barefootatkheb.livejournal.com]

I so love pirate!smap, they make great pirates ^.^

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Oohhhh yes!!! I really need to rip the segment, it is just too cute - and their dancing is good, very manly, very WOAH!! Even Goro doesn't look as if he has a stick up his ... never mind :D

[barefootatkheb.livejournal.com]

lol..I'm not so sure about Goro not looking as if he has a stick up his...but it's still really great :D

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Every time I see Goro dance I am reminded of this image of a puppet on a string. I don't know he always looks like he isn't quite there, as if he is doing the dance moves on auto-pilot, and very badly at that *poor guy*

Btw, love your Naruto icon :)

[barefootatkheb.livejournal.com]

*nods* I usually get the image of someone dragging him in from the street and forcing him out on the stage to sing and dance...lol

and very badly at that *poor guy*
uhuh and is bad when you can see that he really tries, but he still can't do it *pets goro chan*

hee! I love that icon as well, is really cute :) do you watch Naruto?

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Yep, on concerts he needs about half an hour before his dancing looks anywhere near okay-ish, he is soooo stiff :)

I did read some of the mangas but lost interest :(

[barefootatkheb.livejournal.com]

*nods* he really needs to learn to relax a bit, he will give himself and ulcer ^.^

ahh, okay, I have never read the manga, but I love the anime :)

ohh nice icon ^^ may I use? (if not that's okay, but figured it can't hurt to ask? *s*)

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Yep, if he doesn't relax more all the wine in the world won't help.

the anime is now running on kid's hour I think so I will make an effort to have a look.

[barefootatkheb.livejournal.com]

lol..true that ^^

ahh, coul :)
