call for help
So the thing is I need some volunteer/s to help me maintain "The Beauty of That". What would you have to do? Upload clips to the community's [Dailymotion account], post them on the blog, and if you know a little html update the nav bar links. Of course you'd be credited on the blog. ^___^ Any kind soul wants to help?

aw hon i'm sorry i didn't mean to make you feel bad about it! :( i was just joking about getting angry~ ^^; ne, let's get to know each other, okay? XD
Lily:
Did you manage to find somewhere online the mp3s of Te wo tsunaide, the MS medley and the Xmas medley? When you left me the comment I was really busy with the countdown and work, but if you haven't found them I'll rip them for you. =)·
Yui:
How's your Yamabu fic going? ;-) The beginning was quite promising. Ganbatte! i found out that chibi hika sounded like akasaka akira from hikaru genji!! XDD serious, if you have the time try listen to hikaru genji's STARLIGHT @ 3:12. XD Really? LOL I'll have to search for that song and listen to it, ha, ha.
Alice:
Yes, it seems it was Hikaru who was going too fast in Seishun Amigo when he performed it with Shoon. I think it was Fahlyu who mentioned it always happens that he forgets the thumb thing. LOL* Oh, and don't worry about expressing your opinions. I'm a huge Yamada fan, but it's just what you think, and I can respect that. =) Thank you so much, that's very sweet of you! ^___^
神ちゃん:
Ah, yes, Shoon sure had a lot to read on his b-day from the fans. =) I guess it would be better if he didn't google his name at all because he might find some things that would hurt him -like that stupid rumour of some days ago-, but somehow I wish somebody would tell him about the good things, like how many fans he has outside Japan and that we had a countdown for his 18th b-day too. ^^ Also... I'm glad you enjoyed the entry I wrote for the 20th. ^___^ Well, yes, it was addressed to Shoon, but since I knew it was unlikely he'd read it I wanted to share it with people like you and the other fans whom I knew share those feelings I poured in my b-day post. =)·
I read the entry you wrote on your LJ for Shoon's b-day and liked it a lot. Actually these last days have been hectic for me, but I'd like to add entries (or at least links) on the b-day blog with the entries fans posted on their own blogs/LJs. =) Would you give me your permission to add yours? I don't know, it's unlikely, but wouldn't it be nice if one day Shoon came accross the b-day blog and saw how many people had been thinking of him on that day? ^^ As always thanks for visiting. ;-)
Allyson:
but I don't love Yabu because of his 'Tarzan's haughtiness'! XD (the whole Tarzan-Yabu and Jane-fangirls got me rolling on the floor)
That was really sweet, thank you. ^^BBB Akgla and I are really happy that people enjoyed the countdown. We had lots of fun doing it. =)
Anonymous:
Yay! ^__^ I'm very glad you liked it so much! =) ...which reminds me I still have to post it here. ^^
j0j0:
I'm glad you enjoy reading my blog entries. ^___^ I guess it's easy to write about the things you really like, ne?
·
Anonymous:
That picture is gorgeous.....now if some nice person could just make it into a wallpaper so that I can look at Shoonie everyday...pretty please??!
Fahlyu has agreed to make a wallpaper of it and will post it Shoon daily LJ comm. ^___^ Are you a member of the community? If you aren't I can send it to you by e-mail. =)
Shoon is very cute like a girl,but look masculine in the same time

Dear Mr. photographer of Kindai magazine,
·
·
December 19, 2006
Happy b-day, Shoon!
·
Of course I had no idea the four of you had a TV show, I had no idea who you were, and I knew nothing about Johnny’s Entertainment. I hadn’t even heard of it.
·
All I had was what didn’t even sound like a band name, Ya-Ya-yah, but with that I set off in the search of... Yabu. ^^ Yes, I know you must be shocked to read that. Yabu?, not you? Yes, I admit it: it was Yabu who caught my eye at first. Well, he’s the one who stands out more because being the leader he’s the one who gets to sing more and the one who gets more camera time. Also... don’t get jealous, but he seemed quite good looking to me and then there’s this boyish magnetism he has. Perhaps there’s a little haughtiness in his attitude, but we girls are silly creatures that often feel attracted to that kind of primitive male appeal. You know, the “me, Tarzan; you, Jane” thing. XD I suppose it’s in our genes.
·
The second time I saw you I didn’t take much notice of you either. *whacks herself on the head* It was a Shônen Club performance you did in 2005; a medley of songs by The Jackson Five. It was Yabu again that stole all my attention. Can I be blamed? His singing and dancing were so amazing for his age! Hikaru and him were wearing those curious outfits that reminded me of The Beatles’ Sergeant Pepper outfits. You and Taiyô wore outfits along that line, but they were slightly different; not cool, but a bit... clownish. Hey, don’t glare at me like that!, it’s the first adjective that comes to mind. What with those striped sleeves, the tailed coat, and the loose trousers... ^^U
·
Okay, so perhaps I thought you looked clownish for half a second, but then, watching you dance, you reminded me of a puppet. Your moves were smooth and elegant, and your feet didn’t quite seem to touch the stage, as if your legs were being pulled by strings from someone above. You yourself reminded me of a puppet as well... or more exactly of a drawing of a puppet from a book I read when I was a child. His hair was jet black and messy, like yours used to be back then —I miss your messy, wild hair! ^o^ —, and he was dressed like a harlequin, with a jacket of striped sleeves similar to the one you were wearing.
·
I remember I thought you were kind of cute, but that was it. The first time I actually took notice ofTop Secret. You were wearing the same outfit, but you had some fake white and violet strands on your hair, attached here and there. My impressions of you then were that you were a strange, but cool kid with a beautiful, elfish face that danced really well, and once again I was strongly reminded of a puppet as I watched your performance.
you was when I came across your first solo performance,
·
From that moment on, for me Yabu stepped into the background —I still like him, but not quite as much as I like you [sorry, Yabucchi ^^]. I started watching old and recent episodes from your TV show and Shônen Club, and gradually I grew more and more intrigued by you. You are like the yin-yang personified, the head and tails of a coin. Sometimes you’re endearingly childish, talkative, bubbly; others you are quiet, seemingly melancholic... a little distrusting even.
·
You can break a wooden board with your fist, cross the length of a red carpet on water, do amazing backflips... but there’s a delicate and jumpy Shoon too, like you were the time Hikaru broke that plate on the slow motion segment of your show, like that time you went to see a tiger at the zoo with Koyama and Hikaru, or that other time when you were visiting the trousers factory and the pebbles cascaded “dangerously” from the stone-washing machine. LOL
·
I like both sides of you just as much because they complement each other; because they make you the unique, fascinating, complex person you are; because those contradictions were what made me fall in love with you.
·
But there also those things in you that don’t change whether you’re having a good or a bad day, whether you’re feeling restless or tired. You’re always honest, always respectful, always careful not to hurt others feelings... and for that I love you even more.
·
The calendar dates my love to you back to just 11 months, but it’s actually been 4 years that I’ve been in love with you. Do you know that cheesy song that goes “I knew I loved you before I met you”? Well, I wouldn’t go as far as claiming that because I’m not a clairvoyant, but I love the Shoon you were in 2003, when the Ya-Ya-yah TV show started, the Shoon you were in 2004, 2005, and the Shoon you’ve been along this year that is coming to its end.
·
If I were a clairvoyant I’d look into my crystal ball and tell you what I see in your future, but I don’t believe in such things, and as I said I’m not a clairvoyant anyway. The only certain thing about the future is that it’s completely uncertain, but you have two weapons that will surely help you to overcome whatever difficulties you may find in your way: one is your good heart; the other your strong will. Count always on them.
·
I hope you’ll have a wonderful birthday, and in this year of your life that begins I wish you above all else good health and much love from your family, friends, and perhaps from that special someone we all dream of meeting. Those are the most important things to have. Money and fame won’t make you happy and happiness is something fleeting, but if you have love and good health you’ll be the richest, most fortunate person in the world. ^___^

Sunday's SC & uploads
What can I say? It was short but we got to see Reon looking at his oniichan (older brother) in adoration...
·
And I came to the conclusion that adorableness runs in the Yamashita family. Yup, must be in their genes. XD And just like that you have to love Reon. Just because he's Shoon's brother. And because he's so cute! And so shy! Shyness must run in the family as well. ^__^ And also because he's so tall at 14! He might well be the next Taiyô. And he has that low voice that you wouldn't expect at all because he looks so young! =) Well, he looks his age.
·
Oh, yeah... forgot about Shoon and Reon's bit on Junior ni Q. ^^ Watch it:
·
We also had the same medley all the juniors performed on Music Station. Look how happy Taiyô and Shoon seem. =)
·
·
Hikaru and Yabu did a nice rendition of Kizuna with Nakamaru... though it seemed to me they were holding their voices not to outshine Nakamaru:
·
And then there was a lovely Xmas medley:
·
I also updated the treasure box with these clips: from SC 2006.12.10: Te wo tsunaide yukô [81 MB], Shoon&Reon in Junior ni Q [13 MB], MS medley [98 MB], Xmas medley [76 MB], Kizuna [35 MB] ; 2002.10.05 Sekai... [83 MB], 2005.02.20 Midnight Train medley [118 MB] Thanks a lot to Yungboy for helping me uploading some of these. =)
contest reminder & comments
·
And now the answers to the comments you've left on the previous entries. =)
·
Yui: I hope you continued your Yamabu fic and that you'll submit it to our fic contest. ;-)
·
Kyaaa!!!: I suppose that's not a nickname, but you didn't write one, so... ^^ I'm really happy you liked my little Yamabu fanclip. ^___^ Aren't they the cutest thing on earth? XD
·
Alei: Yeah, that Yamabu handholding moment reminded me of my fic too! XD Sometimes I wonder what Shoon and Yabu would think if they read it. ^^
·
Yasmin: Yep, Shoon and Yabu are so cute together that there are times I wish they liked each other for real. They'd make a great couple. LOL
·
Hideko: how is it possible to get the passwords for the [LNE] labeled files which are at ktroom clubbox(bobbi)? Well, so far it has been Fiona (the webmistress of the Chinese web Happy Town) who has provided the passwords.
·
Boku to kimi wa itsumo...: A book called "120% Ya-ya-yah"? I'd buy it, but my Japanese is not too good. ^^ I'm very happy to hear you liked Bokura no Secret. ^___^
·
HikaHika4444: ¿Eres española como yo? =) Lo digo por el comentario que me dejaste en mi diario de LiveJournal. Lo que estamos haciendo por el cumpleaños de Shoon es una cuenta atrás, y cada día le damos a los fans una sorpresa relacionada con él. ^__^
·
Anonymous: Where do you get these photos of Ya-ya-yah before they where Juniors? Here and there, from different sites and blogs. ^^ I suppose they're scans from old magazines, but don't know which ones.
·
Allyson: Glad you liked Hikaru's b-day banner -wait to see Shoonie's ;-) One of these days I'll make a showcase section with all the banners I've been making. =)

countdown to Shoon's b-day
·
And what we're doing is a 10-day countdown during which we'll give the fans 10 Shoon-related surprises. ;-) We want everybody to join in Shoon's coming b-day celebrations, so instead of holding the countdown at the community, we're doing it at a countdown b-day blog.
Right-click on the banner below to check it (and make sure you bookmark it as we'll be releasing one surprise per day till Shoon's b-day on Dec. 20th ;-) ).
·
We also want to take the chance to remind you that we're holding 2 contests in celebration of Shoon's coming b-day: an icon contest and a fic contest. You can read the rules clicking on the banners on the nav bar on the right. You don't even have to be great at icon-making or at writing to enter the contests. Do it for fun. =)

happy b-day, Hikaru!!

Actually I don't feel bad for Hoshino leaving the jimushô -I think he didn't fit in because he was too shy. I feel bad about the way JE treated him and Akama Naoya, and I feel bad for Shoon because he seemed to be close to him, and it seems to me that he suffered when he left.
Must be the fanatic Shoon fan in me, but yes, I can't understand either the lack of Shoon uchiwas not just on the SC he produced but on any SC in general. A Japanese girl told me he's most popular among women in their 30s (because he's so mature and all), so perhaps they feel too guilty to take Shoon uchiwas with them because he's still underage

So here you are... [click here]

Also... To the person who can't download with MediaFire... What seems to be the problem? Sorry I can't upload it MU or YSI now, as I'm uploading the whole episode. ^^
·
To Hideko: When you click on the treasure box image link a pop-up window appears. Perhaps your browser blocks pop-ups? Please try again. =)
·
I updated the treasure box with this performance, reuploaded HQ episode 2005.08.07, uploaded HQ PF 2005.10.23 (Himawari no Melody), and added links for 2003.04.13 and 2003.04.27. IMPORTANT: I uploaded the performance to a new file hosting server called Media Fire. Please if Megaupload doesn't work for you try to download and tell me if it works. =)

November 13, 2006
Puppet dear, you did great
-Yesterday I was daydreaming about this particular SC, and I was wondering what Shoon would wear. For some reason I thought "I'd love him to wear the white suit they wore for Summerx3" ...and he did! O__O That was a bit uncanny. LOL

Glad you liked the one-shot. ^__^ I have more coming (3 at least). And you're welcome for the downloads. =) Thanks for visiting and commenting. ^^B
Yui:
About the poll... I left a comment on Feather's blog (she's a friend of Fiona who's fluent in English) asking her if she could ask Fiona to post a link to the poll on Happy Town as well, but I haven't received a reply from Fiona yet. However I'm gonna try and involve Japanese fans too, and Atarashiiyoake has kindly translated the support entry into Japanese for me. =) I also asked May, who is from Thailand to ask people there to vote and I'm waiting for her answer. ^__^
Alice:
about the campaign for Ya-Ya-yah, is there anyway I can do that through e-mail?
pg:
Thanks for visiting and commenting. =) And yeah that last MS performance was like OMG so many kids on the stage! LOL However it was not as cramped as the former Ya3 studio stage was. LOL
·
*jumps at you for hailing Yabu as a Super Johnny* but I first misread it as Super Junior though ..like SuJu.. LOL
Perhaps "Super Junior" is more accurate. =) But, yeah, I adore Yabu; he has a special place in my fangirl heart. ^^B SuJu sounds cute! LOL
Um, yeah, it's true Hikaru was in the Ya3 show since early 2003, but I think the decision to put him in Ya-Ya-yah happened along the way, when JE saw that Akama was growing up too quickly and his voice changed too soon. Hikaru was simply at the right place in the right moment. =) If I ever made a Hikaru site it would be called "Born under a lucky Star". And he was so cute and funny! =) (plus he has a great voice too) I think Ya-Ya-yah is better with Hikaru; I just resent the way they gradually left Akama and Hoshino out of the group. It was cruel of JE. Throwing them out right away would have been too shocking.
·
(about the Pride Summer episode) It was funny. Especially when the guest guy came out of the water looking like the girl in The Ring. XD

a one-shot and downloads
First of all, thanks to everyone who are going to support Ya-Ya-yah by sending a weekly postcard, and to those who are spreading the word. ^___^ [To Yui: yes, please, go ahead and post the entry on your blog =)]
Secondly, I'm posting today a Ya-Ya-yah one-shot here. It's not the one-shot I had promised you, but a one-shot unrelated to my multi-part fic Bokura no Secret, so if you have read BnS erase it completely from your mind before reading. This is for Esther (because I hate you! XD)Title: A Matter of Choice; Fic type: one-shot ( a long one); Fandom: Ya-Ya-yah; Paring: Shoon-?; Genre: Romance-Angst-Humour (yeah, all that in one LOL) ... read the fic
On another note, I uploaded Sunday's show for those of you who can't use clubbox nor MU:
(YSI links - will expire in 7 days) .001 .002 .003
If you can use MU, please download from the links on the treasure box, thanks. ^__^
I also uploaded the Itoshi no Play Girl performance, can't remember who asked for it, but you'll find it in the treasure box as well. ;-)
I finished uploading the super HQ Gourmet Special of 2006.10.09. =)
[each part is 250MB each - total 2GB]:
.001 .002 .003 .004 .005 .006 .007 .008 .009
I'll upload a smaller version of that to YSI tomorrow if I can. Other uploading requests I'll fulfill as soon as possible: reuploading HQ episode 2005.11.13, 2003.04.20 Thailand, and the Daite Señorita performance.

SUPPORT YA-YA-YAH
Fiona, the webmistress of the Chinese site Happy Town, has started a campaign among the Chinese fans to support Ya-Ya-yah, and her friend Feather, who has been so kind as to translate the plan outline into English, has asked me to try and involve Western fans in their efforts.
The idea is to send a weekly postcard to The Shounen Club to show our support to Ya-Ya-yah. As a heading write:
The postcard should be addressed to:
c/o "The Shounen Club", Nihon NHK denshidai, 2-2-1, Jinnan, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo-to, 150-8001 JAPAN
〒150-8001 日本 東京都 渋谷区 神南 日本NHK電視台 2-2-1 -BS「ザ少年倶楽部」係
I think it might be useful to write it both in Western writing and Japanese.
P.S.: Please take the time to read Feather's translation of the plan outline for more details.
P.P.S: Please spread the word. =)

On another note, I've uploaded more parts of the super HQ Gourmet Special of 2006.10.09 - only 2 more and we'll be finished. =)

answering comments
I love Sayaendô too. It's a really catchy song, ne? =) I'm not too fond of the white outfit with the faux fur, but I guess it's funny. XD And well, I think it's understandable that they look tired and strained. What with the Ya3 show, their performances in SC... and then Hikaru and Yabu took part in the musical One! with Takki, plus they both take part in two different shows now (YouTachi and Hyakushiki), plus Hikaru performs with Kitty as well in SC. @___@
M-ichelle
You can download SC through bittorrent at JPopsuki; through Megaupload at Himitsu or Kichikawaii's LJ, or through Clubbox (there are many, like the Baka no Sekai clubbox).
Kami
Yeah, pity there's no pic of Taiyô with those leather boots. I've heard you talk about it so much that I want to see him with them! LOL Did they look like those he wore in that issue of Myojo in which they wore costumes (ie. Yabu - jungle explorer, Shoon - racing pilot, Taiyô - pirate, Hikaru... er... beach-goer? XD)
Ace-chan
Well, it's no wonder Shoon looks tired -these guys work so hard... and they have to keep up with their studies too, plus Shoon mentioned in a magazine that he has sleeping troubles, poor thing. Er... I don't know much about Joey Tee other than he does rap dance - never heard him sing a thing.
Nicole, Starry, Kami, and Nyaoko
Glad you liked the first scene of the one-shot. I'm close to finishing it, so I'll post it soon. =)
Alei and M-ichelle
Yes, it seems there was a problem with that Ya3show I uploaded. I'll reupload it as soon as possible. =)
Mei
Yes, Shoon is so adorable when he's around kids. I think he's got the makings of a father.
Esther
It made me happy to find a comment from you. =) The new stage has given me hopes too that they'll be the ones to debut. ^___^ And about Hasshi smiling when he's performing... if I were any of them I'd have a hard time not laughing my ass off when performing. XD Sometimes the dance moves are so silly and all those fangirls squealing with their fist in the air! LOL
Yui
Yes, I agree that after Ya-Ya-yah and Kitty Kisumai are the ones with a bigger chance of debuting, but why does everybody love Senga? I think I'm one of the few people who like Miyata best. XD And OMG, yes, I did notice that thing Shoon did with his hand when Hikaru sang the "kuchibiru" line. Somebody said in the Absolute Baka forums that's something Jin used to do in some performances. But yes, that was totally hjdrsgtxdy. *__*
Chic_flick
Glad you like the layout! ^___^ I'm so excited about Shoon's SC. I'll make a Taiyô layout when he gets to produce an episode too (hopefully soon! =))
Bews
Hi, Bews! Thanks for visiting the site and pleased to meet you! ^___^ Yabu is my second favourite in Ya3 after Shoon. My real name is Cristina, but Irea is the nickname I use on the Net. You're from Thailand? That's great! =) It seems Ya-Ya-yah have a lot of fans in your country, ne? I'm from Spain. ^__^ I'll visit your site, thanks for the link.
Allyson
It seems you and me are the only ones who dislike Yabu's new hairstyle and colour. O__o And YES! I thought the same thing too, that it might be another debut sign! ^___^ Regarding my proposal... okay, take as much time as you need to think about it. =)
Kami
Yabu's new hair style doesn't really look bad to you? It looks awful to me, and not just because of the colour. It's a little wavy as well, and reminds me of one of the Kisumai guys. @__@ Blond Hikaru... I can't imagine him blond, but he needs a better hairdo - and urgently. It's a relief to know that Shoon was wearing a wig in WSS because, honestly, dying such beautiful hair would be a crime against mankind. >__<
I dont mind his hair litlle bit browner than before, but isn't the haircut liiiitle bit strange.., no different than before. But if Yabu is ok with this, I'm pretty cool about it.
Marci
But Tackey's play is over now, isn't it? I want to think it's a coming debut sign as Allyson said in a comment she left. Well, for some reason I can imagine Taiyô with a lighter hair colour. Actually I think his hair is a little lighter than Shoon's.
