Mar. 27th, 2016 12:17 amSo, I braved Kinokinuya in hopes of picking up Myojo issues for the Girlfriends articles and thankfully made it out with the November and Decemner 2015 issues. The last time I went into a brick and mortar japanese bookstore to buy such overtly fannish things was about 10 years ago. So this was definitely an exercise in overcoming extreme embarassment. I couldn't find any of the more recent issues so maybe they're out. Or maybe they're in a different area. *sigh*
These are filled with huge pinups and glossy photos of groups I'm sadly not interested in. I wish I knew fans who lived nearby that I could pass them on to. Anyhow, random thoughts on the November issue -
- there's this ranking smaller pamphlet? thing where as far as I can tell, a bunch of johnnys (and johnny's jrs) ranked other johnnys on a bunch of categories. I think k8 only makes 3 appearances, none of which are in top 3. I am super surprised that 2 of those are Maru, and one of the two is for 6th place in the category for person they'd most want as a lover/sweetheart. 　The other one is 4th place for being good at taking care of people. Yoko also takes 7th for someone they'd be happy to have as a big brother
- I think I can now recognize 3 of the Johnny's WEST kids.
- MatsuJun's hairstyle is cute on him, it's that butt part where the bangs in front are a tad longer.
- I can't believe I bought a whole magazine for a two page article >_<;;
- did not know that yamapi had a recent drama called 5 -> 9. Worth looking into? It still weirds me out a little that Yamapi's lost his chubby cheeks. and apparently has muscles now.
- Nakamaru has some really nice photo shots towards the end of the magazine in an article. The coloring is really nice. If I was at all a fan, I'd be flailing.
Ok and on to the scattered girl friends thoughts - Girl Friends #43
