Alternatives to Rosetta Stone Japanese (i.e. Should I buy Rosetta Stone?)
Hmm, on regards with women i can see what ur saying...... but
1)Koda Kumi is a slag
2)If you go slightly away from pop and more into j-reggae or j-hiphop u can get more girls that seem to have attitude and dont act so cutsey cutsey all the time. Even the rock chicks act cute.
However not having seen many interviews about them or anything i cant be sure and don't really know personality. There is a few i'd love to meet for sure but wouldn't marry just because they look good. A note slightly off this, if u wanna see the problem with the lack of lozengers in japan, go here-

any girls wanna marry any of them?
Seems to be far to much violin in japanese pop/hiphop/rock thesedays and not as much exciting stuff.
Generaly the good hiphop, reggae or rap artists come from yokohama. Its certainly the centre for that kind of music in japan especially reggae. Pony Canyon records are toward the pop side of these ones and there are alot of not well known but good artists in this genre.
This is some of j-reggae

Amuro Namie is so popular and has been for quite a while now.
There are quite a few artists that consist of 2 women like SOULHEAD and Faith. In that case there is sometimes too much oooohhhh, yeaahhhhhh ooooo, if u know what i mean. But they do come out with some right ones. Sparta Locals is a great Indie rock band, worth searching for! Orange range is quite interesting if u like the sort of thing they do. I don't know much about the popular rock bands or goth and emo stuff in japan. Neither do i know about techno or electronica much. If i had to i would gladly investigate them and also the history of music in japan and find out how some were introduced if i could.
A note for people trying to learn japanese from lyric translation - don't!!!!! There is too many different verb endings and pronunciation is different to speaking and if u are a girl u start using boku and ore bc they use it in songs.
Well i think i've about finished ranting
nakama yukie i think is really cute and funny. she's a singer/actress/idol. i like her dramas a lot. go watch gokusen and trick.
i always had an odd appeal for chiaka kuriyama after seeing her in kill bill and battle royale.
i don't know about japanese male celebs. for some reason i think odagiri joe is popular (maybe amoung old ladies). the guys in rip slyme or m-flo are funny, but i think most are taken.
There's a few of Japanese celebrities that I find attractive though. Including Masaharu Fukuyama. He is pretty hot but maybe a little old for me.
I don't really know many actors, only that lass that was in Babel (good film, btw)
Second choice is completely out of the loop because she's not even Japanese, but Korean. However, she has stared on some Japanese dramas and other TV shows. Second choice would Yoon Son-Ha, even though she's quite older than me.
[BONUS] And just for kicks Koichi, IF... If you had to choose any one of the members of MoMu to marry, who would it be and why? Haha... Personally I would choose Yoshizawa Hitomi, just because I think she's the member that does the least of that cutesy crap. Which makes sence because she's suppose to have kind of a tom-boyish personality, but I also find it weird because in some of the videos I've seen her in, it looks like she has an adams apple. lol but whatever...
Nice topic.
That would be flippin awesome.
Otherwise, I'm just a fangirl who'd probably sleep with Akira Toriyama or Kubo Tite or Masashi Kishimoto and his brother Seishi AT THE SAME TIME.
And if I were a guy, I'd love to marry Sawai Miyuu, because she's cute and she looks great in a sailor uniform for the obvious reason as her role of Sailor Moon. Hell, wouldn't it be great to just have a honeymoon with Takeuchi Junko and have the voice of Naruto moan dattebayo in bed?
Guy or Girl POV, any transformer would rock, in OR out of bed
I'll marry anyone from ARASHI in a heartbeat... maybe I'll think twice about marrying MatsuJun.. or Aiba-chan but YES YES YES!!! to Kazunari, Sho, & Satoshi
If I'm a guy it'll be Aoi Yuu... such grace..
Kimura Kaela in a magenta alien suit complete with antenna is cute too ^^
CDTV did a Top 20 most wanted ranking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwd2yKc5GuU
eeuuww.. kattun. ugh!
#1 Sakurai Sho
He's the perfect future husband. A Keio University graduate, majoring in Economy. His father works in the Foreign Minister, mother a lecturer (rumoured to be a conglomerate heir), a little sister who is also studying while doing part time modelling & a younger brother that Sakurai an-chan dotes on.
Sho made the decision to enter the jimusho on his own while still in school. His parents was against this at first but after the ARASHI debut announcement he promised to finish his studies & get a degree within 4 years which he eventually did with flying colours (fangirl is proud).
-Notable acting gigs: Kisarazu Cats Eye series (you guys MUST watch this pure crack o'gioodness), Honey & Clover movie, currently acting alongside Ninomiya Kazunari in 2007 hit drama, Yamada Taro Monogatari
-SakuRAP: He wrote almost all the raps for ARASHI. It got his own brand of lyrical positive-ness to it that everybody loves, including Hirai Ken. Watch him fanboying on SakuRAPPUU : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWnygt72e9o
-Future Japan Prime Minister??: While busy filming YTM, and performing Arashi annual summer concert Sakurai-sanma also is a NewsZERO caster. He will cover the Japan election on the same day he's doing 2 concerts in Yokohama (fangirl is REALLY proud: http://hochi.yomiuri.co.jp/entertainment/news/2...
)
-loves children
-bad at sports (but tries really hard), air muscles, goofy, bucktoothed, really bad acting crying scenes (imho)
#2 Ninomiya Kazunari
He got this deep soul that's pure and dark at the same time which is reflected by his cute boyish (11yr old) face but with a haunting brown eyes and the devilish smirk.
-Known for his acting talent: Letters From Iwo Jima (directed by Clint Eastwood), Yasashii Jikan, Haikei Chichiuesama, Ao no Hono and Stand Up. Every director or writers that has worked with him always noted how they are at awe with his talent.
-A musician: Plays various of instrument (guitar, bass, piano), dabbles in music rearrangement (Arashi songs sounds better with his touch), perform covers (Shibata Jun's Yume: she commented he'd performed it better than her, Yume de Ai Masho, Ulfuls songs etc, etc..), writes own songs. Try listening to Kako @ Konseki, Niji & Fight Song.
-A prankster, dry sense of humour, sarcastic but really charming nonetheless
-all round talented young guy
-very intriguing addicting real life character.
3# Ohno Satoshi
A beautiful 27yr old guy with amazing artistic talents but not comfortable being in the lime light.
-loves his mum & not ashamed of it ~
Being a Johnny's artiste supporter is a scary thing. You are bombarded with tonnes of information about them, eventually you'll get addicted. You can subscribe to their daily nikki, monthly idoru magz (POTATO, Wink-Up, Duet etc,etc..), download their own variety shows (Arashi no Shukudaikun, Mago mago Arashi, Dohmoto Kyoudai, Mentore G, blablabla) & a whole community of fans that feed you with uwasa & age old history of your fav idoru. It'll come to the point of wishing you are married to them already ^^;;;
Still, I'm glad to be a fan. Arashi are like prozak.
sometimes I pretend we are Troy and Gabrilella from High School Musical :)
But if I think of the reasons, I can get pretty good ones.
He's just a big dork *snark* He SINGS and plays such amazing guitar~ He's got the one thing I love, and that's tattoos that have meanings (have you seen his sutra???)
...but then again...
Domo-kun is pretty hot too... >w>~
HAHA
I think I would gladly meet (and probably squeal) any member(s) of ARASHI because they're just such a great group of males. And maybe members of NewS as well, but ARASHI has to be on the top of my list. They're talented, original, dorky, sexy, clever, and all-round wonderful. Aishoni has described two of the most popular members and I'll try my best to describe the other three.
Ohno Satoshi
- a great singer; most consider him as one of the greatest singer in Johnny's Entertainment.
- He is an artist in all sense of the word; he likes working with clay and made 100 clay figures one summer (I'm not sure if this is this summer or not..) and has a section called 'O no Arashi' (a nicely crafted pun) on their weekly TV show. He randomly picks two photographs from 100 or so flipped photographs and tries his best to draw a combination of the two, and then the members discuss how much they would buy it for xD. Check this out: http://youtube.com/watch?v=leUkK8tDlu0.
- He is the oldest of the five ARASHI members, but he looks no older than the youngest member. Although he is already 26 years old, he still has a very adorable and irresistible baby face: http://www.velvet-angels.com/bia/da_mettere/ohn....
- He is a very good dancer and often choreographs.
- He is the leader of ARASHI because he won a round of Rock-Paper-Scissors, but unlike most leaders, he leads by presence, not by having any leading qualities. Though all members consider him as the fearless leader anyway, because he has the guts to eat anything, including 10 years old canned food.
Matsumoto Jun
- Youngest member and most popular member of ARASHI. Most fans go searching about ARASHI because of Matsumoto Jun has been in a lot of very famous Japanese Dramas including Gokusen, Kimi wa Petto and the recent Hana Yori Dango I & II. Due to the numerous happenings of this phenomenon, fans have named this as the 'Jun bait'.
- Although very popular, he has quite a bad temper and is slightly isolated. However lately, he's been more outspoken and open about himself, probably due to him maturing over the years.
- Is the most fashionable member. He paints his nails and changes his hairstyle very often. He had a hair extension before filming Hana Yori Dango II, which most fans dislike, to say the least.
- He is a accomplished show host. He has hosted the Music Show called Utawara with Matsuura Aya and Wada Akiko (and others whose names I don't know) which ended early this year.
- Entered Johnny's without an interview, just with an application.
Aiba Masaki
- The 12-year old cutie with a very wired but clever brain. He is the least intelligent of ARASHI, but he has very curious personality and totally original imagination. His section on their weekly TV show is called A no Arashi, which includes him taking on experiments of the weirdest nature including sailing a boat made out of cardboard, eating hot curry in -50 degress Celsius weord, making a three-minute hourglass finish in less than three minutes, etc.
- Is a show host for the TV show Tensai! Shimura Doubutsuen. Aiba Masaki is great with animals, and he goes abroad to different zoos in difference countries to help out. He displays is Engrish skills while in South Africa and in the Philippines. Check this out: http://youtube.com/watch?v=MMD0aHYEnPM. Totally hilarious. He should visit Koichiben xD.
- He can play the saxophone (among other instruments) but he had pneumothorax and could not continue playing.
- Possibly the most entertaining member.
Wow. I hope this was informative ^^;;.
She's pretty.
She's smart.
She can sing and she pwned pretty much half of Japan in Tetris.
XD
-T
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I personally think that despite the fact Gackt is such a wide spread and favoured individual for his music and looks, it's his talents and general characterization of himself that strike me most attractive. Without going into a whole biography of his life, to say that someone can speak multiple language (French, Japanese, English and Mandarin) is rather impressive, no? Not to mention he has a well balanced diet, enjoys his physical fitness, is environmentally friendly, imaginative (he's 400 years old apparently) and without even trying he has the natural ability to be humourous.
This is speaking out of admiration, more than fangirlism just so you're aware.
anyway, my list of Japanese people I wouldn't mind marrying are:
Oguri Shun (my first choice and not a singer !!)
Ikuta Toma
Yamashita Tomohisa
Matsumoto Jun (secretly!)
Wentz Eji
Okada Masaki (little young though)
Takeshi Kaneshiro (he's so adorable in chungking express)
I must say that hanazakari no kimitachi e was a great inspiriration. I think the phrase 'ikemen paradise' lived up to his name ^^
My top would be Jin Akanishi!!!! His looks are good but he not picky.. he actrally likes the opposite of what a normal man would liek.. he would like a pretty girl but not trign to hard... a girl that in not super skinny.. and he woudl love a famly...
Alround famly guy!!!!
It funy how i see lot of Arashi fans here!!!
Still a Arashi fan but more a Kat-tun Fan now... MatsuJun the best Arashi member!!! hahah
Can't wait till Hana Yori Dango Movie!!!WHHEEE
the arrow of eternal love pierced through my internal soul & being
and a rose flower instantly bloomed in the garden of my heart
her beauty is plain vanilla but full of radiance
from video clips of interviews posted around the web
she clearly demonstrates a good sense of humor, with overflowing charisma
and that’s really something i dig in a woman very much
If I were a guy, I'd proabably date (not sure about marry) either Inoue Mao (of Hana Yori Dango fame) or Ueno Juri (of Nodame Cantabile fame). Mao (who is often and a large fanbase is of her pairing with HYD co-star Matsumoto Jun of Arashi) is so cute and very vivacious. She's so lively and she's just a simple girl.
Ueno Juri I think is the same although now in her new drama she's become a bit more daring in her character. I'm only a slight fan of Masami actually, I haven't seen much of her work but I do understand why a lot of people picked her. :)
I also think Saito Tomohiro, or Mizushima Hiro, as is his stage name, is a good candidate for being a husband. I don't know much about him, but I admire his acting skills and his desire for learning more about the English language, which is something I can relate with learning the Japanese language. I believe a lot of people know him as Dorm Leader #2 in the Japanese version of Hana Kimi and Soshi in the popular drama, Zettai Kareshi.
There are other people I'd love to marry also, but I don't have a really GOOD reason for liking them.
Satoshi, vocalist from Jrock band, girugamesh, because I love his screams. (sound weird, much??).
Takeru, vocalist from Jrock band, SuG, because I love his dimpled smile.
Kai, drummer from Jrock band, the GazettE, because I love the fact that he can actually COOK (a definite quality a husband should have) and he also has dimples!!
Mastuyama Ken'ichi, actor, because he played L from Death Note and I'm a total fangirl for L.
But lets talk of guys lol XD
If I have the chance to marry a japanese I would choose Tegoshi Yuya lol
It's a japanese singer (NewS and Tegomass) and actor (gachi baka etc)..He's just to ...kawaii ..I have a lot of other reason ....but in english its a little hard for me to say all that thing ..sorryyyyy XD
Sorry for the bad english ....It would be better in french I think lol XD
And is not just because he is a very famous and talent singer and actor, but because he is very "marriageble"
He is rich, very rich.
Never olds (good plastic surgeons)
He can marry (he already did once, so we know that he is not a guy who'll never marry)
He is very pretty.
He lives in a mansion
He is kind with everyone
He seems like a kid, but is sexy
He is smart
He is Gackt Camui, and every japanese girl will be envious.
Well, thats it. Forgive my bad english, I'm brazilian and basic no so good in languages as you.
That would be my 2 choices :P
There are some others I could've put too but they would all be from Morning musume because they are actually the only celebrities I know and I really like them all.
or Ok!!!..my top pick is SHO.....
Reason?:...just what others comment here.....they just say it all!!!...just too perfect!!!
It's just any Arashi member are just a typical Boy next door type....and their personality is just a BONUS!!!
I don't hate Kattun but I juz see Arashi more attractive than them...Honestly!!!!
How i really wish i marry SHO...my Prince!!!
Then there's Ohno-kun and Jun-kun from Arashi, in that order. Ohno sometimes seems autistic (in a funny way) during interviews and their shows, he's like funny without even trying, it's always such a treat to watch him. And Jun, well, Jun is the reason I got hooked to J-dramas, J-pop, and J-everything anyways. Very gorgeous and interesting personality. He's the kind of celebrity you desperately want to have all figured out. xx
Earlier about it like anywhere did not write.
