Def Tech has a way of making my mood better almost instantly. Though now I also want to go to Hawaii. Instantly. XD I took a nap today under a pile of blankets and woke up actually hot instead of just not-cold. Win!
I knew I had a post I wanted to make, and I finally remembered it last night. So, before I delete it from my computer, JE Countdown flail! It's been a week, so I am not going to cut for spoilers (whatever constitutes spoilers in a music show, anyways). If you care, scroll really fast, hit the comment button, and I will protect your eyes. :D I will also keep this all positive, because I whine plenty about other things. Okay, almost all positive. There will be one non-positive.
Commence Flail:
Bad first: YARA HAIR FAIL. Okay, to be fair, I couldn't see it really, really well (though there was a very clear shot of Yone's face behind Tsuyoshi at one point, and I laughed, sorry, Yone), but it did not look promising. Am hoping they shot January Shokuras before he got this hair. XD

Everyone brought the sparkly, wow, especially H!S!JUMP, and Arashi and NEWS halfway through. I wonder how many sequins are used just for Countdown costumes.

Ohkura's smile! And non-permy hair. And Yasu in general. ♥ Okay, one more non-positive: Ryo's ghostly mustache. Although it's also funny, so. XD

Random Junior sightings! Totally found Yamaryo without specifically looking for him because his head is big and blond and fluffy and that flail is unmistakable. Also, he sings along with everything and his mouth is big, too. >.> And therefore, he is easy to spot, I mean.
NYC is stupid catchy. And I love
A.ra.shi partly because whenever I listen to it, I think of that clip with MatsuJun majorly failing at being on time. >.>

V6 looked
so good in purple and black. *_* Also, everyone still backflipping after 15 years? Hellz yeah. Rock on, chicken!leader!

I feel like Takki is the Gackt of JE sometimes. In that uber-dramatic this-is-srs-bsns-but-I'm-really-a-big-dork way. XD Just substitute Juniors for men in cat suits!

Medleys always fun. Love the random people who end up glomping each other, like Ohno and MiyaKen.

Hee, Okada and Sho, again! Nagase totally in love with Koichi. Tsuyoshi will kill him if he tries anything. A bajillion virtual cookies if you get that reference.

Kanjaninjas! And Toma with a quarter of a pheasant pinned to his suit jacket. ...Go is shorter than Massu? :O D'aww, sparkly TomaPi.

Massu's puuuuunsss... <33
Somehow, when I watched this the first time, the year of the tiger bit didn't hit me. It did when I was in Chinatown on Monday though, 'cause the year of the tiger means that my dad is turning 60 this year. He will undoubtedly not want a party celebrating this. XD
Also, I need more multi-person JE icons. >.> And maybe one of Massu. And Yamaryo and/or Yara. Or Bun-chan and his blankface.
