I learned today that I worked enough overtime since last summer to have a nice over of 40 hours... so that means... a vacation week for me! ^________^
I also talked to my boss about taking that vacation week at the end of February if I get concert tickets and he answered : "I hope you can get the tickets!"
Don't I have the best job? ^-^

And my mom is slowly getting convinced to let me go to Japan in February too. ^_^

Yay!

Now I'll keep my fingers crossed for tickets! Please! I want tickets!

Last weekend I started to play a DS game to learn japanese.
I realised that I learned more than I thought by watching dramas and TV shows xD
But the game is really helping me because I'm just too busy (and lazy) to open textbooks, use flashcards and write on tons of papers. I simply need to take my DS with me and I play/learn 30 minutes during my lunch break or after my shower or before going to sleep.
I'm almost done with the Hiragana! I can't wait until it gets harder! ;)

Off to play on my DS!

Good night!

I want to go to Japan in February! >_<
I know I just went last June but this is possibly a once in a lifetime chance! T_T
Johnny's solo con don't go on DVD don't they? And how many solo con a Johnny's can have thoughout his career? Not that many!

I think I'll have enough money to go (but that means I have to push getting an appartment to next year)
The problem is that tiny voice in my head that tells me that it's irresponsible >_<
My mom doesn't approve either but I think I can make her change her mind in time.
Anyway I have to ask my boss, I'll probably have to do a lot of overtime to get one week off in February but I'm ready to do it.
My japanese friend is applying for tickets and I asked my friend who is staying in Japan now to apply for me too.

I've only been in Japan in the summer so it will be interesting to go in the winter ^-^
I don't think I'll do much sightseeing... I'll hang out in Roppongi and Shibuya, see some friends, go to karaoke, eat (I miss japanese food so much T_T), ...
I want to go for at least 8-9 days to make the most of my plane ticket, but I don't know what to do ^^'

*sigh* I love Japan so much... I'm miserable here thinking about it everyday!
Yes, I like my life here, I like my work, my friends and my family, but there's just something out there calling me. There's a hole in my heart and it can only be filled out when I'm in Japan.

What do you think? ._.

Okay, so starting today I want to improve my life and stop procrastinating.

Here are my goals for now :
1. Go to sleep earlier and wake up earlier
2. Really start over with my diet (yeah, because since my last post I haven't been serious at it)
3. Look for an appartment (and make a budget)
4. Study japanese
5. Exercise

Also :
- Be nicer to my mom
- Do some more overtime at work to help getting out of this busy period
- Work on personnal projects (websites)

And on the "I'd like to" list :
- Change my hair color to red
- Get a facial
- Get a massage
- Get fake nails
- Read more
- Study my high school notes to improve my (almost all lost) spanish
- Play Sims 3 *o* lol

Yay! Go me! ^^'

Yay! My friend is going to buy a copy of An An for me! ^o^

Seriously, Jin is so hot in those pictures. He looks so natural but I bet it was really awkward ^^'

And lol at all the girls that are shocked and jealous of the model. I don't care about that girl, it's her job.
It's because of that kind of fans that idols are not allowed to date... that's sad.
I prefer to know that my idols are humans rather than perfect and flawless beings.
And I'm rather grateful to that model. Because of her we got those beautiful pictures of Jin! ^^

Now that I'm on the subject of being human...
I don't like that Jin smokes but that's only because I'd want him to take better care of his health.

I breathed so much smoke in the club last summer. My eyes were all red... I must have scared him with my bloody eyes ^^'
And a guy burned me with his cigarette! >_< (lol I acted all tough when it happened but acted all hurt in front of him and his friends (omg I should have ask them if they had a bandage xDDDD I'm kidding lol))
Anyway... I hate cigarettes!!!

I recently learned that there was a québécoise just like me that released a single in Japan.
That's really amazing! She speaks japanese very well and sings beautifuly!
I hope she can put Québec on the map in Japan ^-^ Then I will be able to say "I'm from the province of Québec in Canada" when I will go to Japan and people will understand what I'm talking about. (Usually, the answer is "Canada? Oh! Vancouver?" lol)
I love Canada but I guess I'm proud to be québécoise ^^'
So yeah, her name is Catherine St-Onge, she goes by the name HIMEKA in Japan and here is her PV (youtube).

I received my KAT-TUN photobook last Thursday! (I ordered it late and they didn't have it in stock for a while) It's so big and pretty! *o*
Looking at the pictures I remember the concerts I saw with my friends even if I don't think that there is pictures of the June concerts in it. (I would freak out if I saw myself in there ^^') But I hope I can see my blurred self on the DVD xD I was wearing a white and green dress and my hair was orange and tied in ponytails! My friends and I were in the bottom left of the N when the audience spelled "We are KAT-TUN" with their penlights (we had a red stickers on our seats... I didn't take mine home like some girls did ^^')

Now I have to rewatch the Bandage videos I downloaded and I might see my friend in the audience. I might also see her in the movie because she was at one of the shootings. And Buzzer Beat's shooting last monday too! I want to go back to Japan!!! >_<

About RL...
I want to get and appartment! I can't live in the same house as my parents anymore. I don't get along at all with my mother, we're just too different, we don't think alike at all. I'm rather free or "my pace" as the japanese would say but my parents always order me around. They are also a little bit crazy and childish, they are really weird about weird things too. Ok, I'm not perfect either, but I'm only human. But in my parents mind I'm a monster and I don't have feelings, I'm only there to make their life miserable.


edit: OMG I just remembered that I bought Utada Hikaru's last album in Japan this summer but I still haven't listen to it! O_O
Hikki I'm so sorry! (she was the first japanese singer that I liked outside of anime songs)

edit 2: and what's this? Eita was at Montreal's film festival?!?!? Damn it! I knew I should have gone watch his movie in hope of seeing him there!!! But I could only go after work and I guess he went during the day not at night T_T

In Tokyo, my friends and I also looked for Anego's shooting locations ^-^

( Click here for details and pictures )

This summer I went to Tokyo with my friends and I went to some interesting places a KAT-TUN fangirl would like to go.

One of the most memorable places was the okonomiyaki restaurant that KAT-TUN went to for episode #59 with Ayase Haruka broadcasted on 2008.05.21

( Click here for details and pictures )

So... I've been asked about the concerts I saw last year in Sapporo.
I don't think there was a lot of concert reports from those days in kattunlove or the english fandom.



The original reports in french can be found here and here.



The first day I was in the arena area. Ueda, Maru, Junno and Jin passed only a meter away from me and I touched Ueda's hand when he passed a second time!
Jin is my favorite member so when he passed beside us my legs got weak and I thought I was going to faint ^^' Unfortunatly he didn't look our way ;_;
When Maru passed near us he was letting his arm hang near the fans and they were all grabbing him while he looked non-chalant ^^'

I had an uchiwa with "JIN" written on it, a pink heart and a red maple leaf for Canada ^^'
On the other side the same heart and leaf but with "TaiP" written ^^
I would turn around my uchiwa when Fujigaya Taisuke would be nearer than Jin xD

At the beginning of Ten-G Ueda had his red mask around his waist so it looked like... you know xD
I never thought he was that perveted xD

I understood the end of the MC a little: Kame talked about the Sushi Ouji movie and Maru replied that PR was over for that xD
But Kame wanted to make a link between the fact that his father liked the movie and the next song which was Mother/Father.
Then Junno messed Kame's presentation so he had to do it, but couldn't so Jin butted in saying "Next song: Mother/Father" lol

After it ended, Koki came back with only his towel around his waist and then Jin too!!! Koki said that he had nothing under, turned around and opened his towel to show KAT-UN. They all laughed ^^'
Then... the best part! All the members exited the stage but Jin. Jin decided to go up a few stairs while laughing cutely and go out by another exit. And just when he was going down the stairs in the exit, his towel slipped!!! Followed by loud screams by the fans xD


 

The second day I was on the first floor(?) but KAT-TUN only go near arena and 2nd floor so Jin, Kame, Koki and Junno passed just above us. That day I think Jin and Kame saw me but it's difficult to tell because they looked my way but could have been blinded by the light. There wasn't anything special that day so my report was very short ^^'

Yay! So now we have our plane tickets, our concerts tickets are confirmed and we are waiting for a reply concerning the appartment we are renting in Roppongi. Everything should be okay but they only will confirm us our room 2 weeks before our departure ._.

You can follow us on our blog : http://japon2009.piko-media.net/
There will be some posts in french only but I'll try to always post in english too.

We are leaving from Montreal on June 11th, going to the concerts on June 14th and 15th and then we will have about 2½ weeks after that to enjoy Tokyo ^-^
And I got 3 weeks of vacation, so we are coming back on July 3rd.
(damn it! last year I arrived (July 6th) just after Jin's birthday (July 4th) and this year we go back just before his birthday >_<)

For months when people were asking me "Are you going to Japan this year?" I was answering something like : "Maybe. I'm not sure. I think I'll skip a year and go next year"

And then when the dates for KAT-TUN's concerts were announced I was glad I hadn't pushed my hopes up because May was too early for me to go on vacation in Japan.

But dates were added in June and two weeks ago my Japanese friend told me she had tickets and couldn't use them... so... I started to think about it and my hopes went up ^^'

I started making plans and asked my best friend Marie to go with me this year (because last year I felt lonely when I was on my own). She's a college student and she was not sure she could go this year so my hopes went down. I thought it would be better to go next year.

A week later, I read in her MSN message that she's going to Japan this year because she read a book that convinced her that she could and she should go. I'm surprised, I think about a million things, plane, hostel, places to see, KAT-TUN, ...

I had to confirm with my Japanese friend that she can keep the tickets for me and when would be the best time to go considering that I want to spend some days with her. Then I talked about it to our (mine and Marie's) friend Roxane and she said she wanted to go too! (she's a university student so we always thought the three of us would go together after she finished university)

So now :

- I have 2 tickets for KAT-TUN last day in Tokyo Dome on June 15th!
- I might have 2 tickets for June 14th!
- I will possibly stay for 3 weeks (need to ask my boss)
- Marie is coming
- Rox is coming (she'll go for about 1½ week and will go back to Canada before us)
- We don't have our plane tickets
- We don't know where we will be staying yet

Oh! And I feel really responsible for them because they are younger than me (ok only by a month in Marie's case ;P) but still, I went last year so their parents must rely on me because of that. Though Rox has experience with travelling because she went to Belgium before.
Anyway, I'm stressed out xD

But what I really want to say is:
Mélanie, Marie and Rox's big adventure in Japan 2009! KAT-TUN here we come! xD

(I'm sorry that I can't write prettily in english T_T
this post is really chaotic)

... Kame parle français dans Kami no Shizuku ?! J'ai trop hâte d'entendre ça !!! >o<

... is so cute in this picture! He looks more like Jin here than on any picture of him I saw before.



And Jin, Pi, Ryo and U-kun sended him flowers for the debut of his stageplay.


awww... brotherly love ♥

I WANT A NEW KAT-TUN SINGLE RELEASE!!!!

or the concert's DVD, or an album, or a drama, but please.... SOMETHING!!!!

T___________________________________T


Nothing in my life is going forward right now, I feel like I'm still stuck in August.

Here is a picture of the KAT-TUN dolls my friends made and gave me for my birthday last month.


(their height compared to my ipod)


We (Pirou-chan, rokusan_chan  and me) had a photoshoot last weekend and Pirou-chan is going to edit them (to add backgrounds and edit our hands out)
Some of the poses are really funny and we had a great time doing this  xD

I'll post the pics at kattunlove when they're ready. ^^

j'écris seulement pour dire que le 2e concert etait tout aussi genial que le premier et que Jin et Kame sont passes juste au dessus de nous et que je les ai regarde droit dans les yeux!!!! >o<
Malheureusement ils n ont pas mentionne la venue d une canadienne pendant le MC, mais on a eu droit a BakaJin a son meilleur :P
Je vais mentionner un peu de details juteux pour Rox : au debut de TenG aux 2 concerts, Yuichi tournait lentement son bassin comme s il fesait du hoola-hoop tres lentement ^^; c etait assez drole... aussi, pendant une chanson, il s est approche de l assistance et a laisse les fans l eventer en soulevant son chandail ;P

Hier j ai assiste au concert de KAT-TUN!!!! >o<
C etait surealiste!!!!
La musique est tellement forte et il y a tellement de monde!
 
Ok, mais commencons par le commencement...
Hier apres avoir travaille a fabriquer mon uchiwa chez Makiko (un cote de mon uchiwa dit "JIN" et l autre dit "TaiP" ^o^ et sur les deux cotes il y a une feuille d erable (Canada) et un coeur), nous sommes allees manger des ramen pas loin de chez elle.
Ensuite, nous sommes retournees chez elle ou sa soeur nous attendait et nous sommes parties pour le stade en metro.
 
Prenez note que tout ce temps la il pleuvait T-T
Donc nous sommes arrivees au stade et nous avons fait la file pour acheter des goods, a cause de la pluie j ai decide que je n acheterais que le strict minimum. Donc j ai achete un penlight, un sac et... (secret!)
Je vais acheter le reste de ma liste (et celle de Rox :P) cet apres-midi.
Touka, nous sommes ensuite entrees dans le stade et avons attendu l amie a la soeur a Makiko.
Makiko et sa soeur sont tres grandes pour des japonaises, c est special! Elles sont plus grandes que moi.
 
Enfin, nous sommes entrees dans la salle de spectacle et nous avons trouve nos sieges. Nous etions par terre, sur la gauche. Les autres ont insiste pour que je sois le plus pres de l allee donc il n y avait que 2 personnes entre moi et le couloir ou les plateformes passent. ;D
 
Le spectacle a commence avec Taboo et j etais sans voix. Je vais me contenter de decrire quelques moment qui m ont marques parce que je n ai pas beaucoup de temps...
Donc pour Taboo ils sont descendus dans les genre d ascenceurs et comme aux autres concert Jin etait assis et on aurait dit qu il fumait parce qu il y avait de la fumee qui apparaissait pres de lui.
A un moment donne, je crois avant Dont you ever stop (T-T tout est flou dans ma tete, je ne me rappelle pas durant quelles chansons les choses sont arrivees... tout s est passe comme dans un reve, je vais essayer de mieux retenir les choses au 2e concert), les membres de KAT-TUN sont tous apparus d endroits differents. Jin est apparu a gauche de la scene et a couru jusqu a l autre cote en se moquant de Junno, puis il a glisse a la sortie (je crois que cetait voulu) ^^; Bakanishi!
 
Toutes les filles autour etaient exitee parce qu ils sont venus placer un chariot a l avance juste a cote de nous et on se demandait qui embarquerait dessus. On a serieusement pense que ce serait Jin lorsqu il est apparu a gauche mais finalement c est Ueda qui est monte dessus. Ueda etait a 1 metre de moi!!!!! Il est passe sans me voir parce qu il regardait au loin au lieu d en bas T-T
 
Plus tard, c est Maru qui est passe dans l allee! Lui aussi a moins d un metre de moi! (Rox ne me tue pas!!! >_<) Il regardait au loin lui aussi en laissant les fans toucher sa main ^^; Pauvre lui, il avait l air un peu blase alors que les fans tiraient sur sa manche...
 
Et puis..... Jin est passe dans l allee pendant Mother/Father!!!!!!!!!! Il portait son bandeau mauve. J ai crie son nom sans arret pour qu il regarde de mon cote mais il regardait aussi au loin T__________T </3 Mais Jin est passe a 1 metre de moi! J en reviens pas! Apres, mes jambes tremblaient et j ai cru que je devrais m assoir tellement elles etaient en guenille!
 
Et puis Junno est passe dans l allee plus tard pendant Six Senses, puis Ueda est repasse pendant l encore...... et...... j ai touche sa main cette fois!!!!!! ^^
 
Ok, a part ca... au debut de TenG, Ueda portait son masque a sa taille et le nez de son masque lui fesait un... hmmhmm ouais... Baka Ueda :P
 
Pendant le solo a Jin, LOVEJUICE, j ai remarque que pratiquement personne chantait sauf moi (et je fesais juste du lipsync parce que je voulais entendre la voix a Jin <3) ^^ Yay pour l anglais!!! :P
 
Pendant le MC ils ont chacun fait la promotion de quelque chose. Kame de Crunky, Jin de Speed Racer, Maru de son stage show, Ueda de son concert solo, Junno de Cartoon KAT-TUN xD
Kame a ensuite parle de Sushi Ouji et Maru s est ecrie que c etait fini cette promotion ^^; Kame voulait faire un lien entre le fait que son pere a beaucoup aime Maru dans le film et la chanson suivante Mother/Father, mais Junno a tout gache alors ils lui ont ordonne de presenter la chanson (surement en fesant un gag) mais il n y arrivait pas. Alors Jin a dit qu il le ferait puis il a seulement dit "La prochaine chanson : Mother/Father". Bakanishi! xD
 
Apres les encore, les membres de KAT-TUN sont ressortis pour dire aurevoir et Koki est apparu avec seulement une serviette autour de sa taille..... puis Jin aussi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *meurt* Koki disait qu il avait rien en dessous, il s est tourne de dos et a ouvert sa serviette et les autres riaient ^^; Mais le meilleur c est que lorsqu ils sont sortis, tous les membres sont passes par l ouverture au niveau du stage, mais Jin a decide qu il montait les marches et passait par l ouverture plus haut. Donc il s est elance en riant et alors qu il sortait sa serviette a un peu glisse et toutes les fans ont crie xDDDD
 
Touka, voila pour mon rapport de concert.
 
Derniere chose etrange... apres le concert, quand les gens partaient, un employe de JE est venu me voir et m a demande si je parlais japonais et d ou je venais... Ca a souleve plein de question chez les filles et moi... est-ce qu il voulait savoir ce que je fesais la? est-ce qu un membre de KAT-TUN m a apercu et l a envoye? est-ce qu il voulait s assurer que je n avais pas achete mon billet illegalement? waaa... peut-etre qu ils vont dire qu une canadienne est venue pendant le MC aujourd hui... j espere vraiment qu ils m ont remarquee en tout cas *o*
 
nos billets aujourd hui sont moins bons qu hier. il y a 3 etages a Sapporo : par terre, le 1er et le 2e. Les membres passent en bas et pres du 2e mais pas au 1er T^T

Miroku stickers!!!!! *o*



And I'm ordering Jin's and Kame's version of the new single~ ^o^

My best friend Pirou-chan drew Jin ^_^
Take a look at it : http://pirouchan.deviantart.com/art/Jin-Akanishi-2-79239532

-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-

hmm... about me... lately I'm playing a lot with a rubix cube I bought last week xD
I don't get tired of it ! I almost like it more than slidding puzzles...
puzzles ♥

I also caught up with some of my manga reading : Gokusen, Shinshi Doumei Cross, Kobato, xxxHolic
And I'm rewatching some anime : Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne and Ayashi no Ceres

I also bought 2 japan-related french magazines last week ^^
I saw an article about Yukan Club and the cartoon KAT-TUN album was in the order-by-mail pages ^-^
I also saw the anime character that was supposedly inpired by Jin
lol when I saw him I suddenly screamed "JIN!" and Pirou-chan who was beside me jumped from surprise xD

-¤-¤-¤-¤-¤-

lastly I have to say... OMG who doesn't want to have Jin's baby after watching the last cartoon KAT-TUN ?! *o*

...My computer died on me... I'm writing this on my parents' computer T_T I hope I won't lose any of my files ;_;
At least my external hard drive is okay ._. But it only contains videos... 
All my pictures, files and music are on my computer plus more videos

The small fan won't work so I guess my motherboard overheated -_- More money to throw on that useless computer and... I should reformat it!
Or maybe I should buy in a portable PC : http://vaio.sony.fr/view/ShowProductCategory.action?site=voe_fr_FR_cons&pageType=Models&category=VN+CR+Series *-*

I'm not in any Kinki Kids related comm so I don't know if that's new but :
http://www.endli9.net/glocaly/

I wish KAT-TUN's website was a little more interactive like this !
There's even a "Endli Shooter" game ^-^

*adds to my del.icio.us account* =3
