Hmmm.. Nothing much to post today.. Anyway, today I saw my sister busy scribbling on a paper when I actually noticed that it was my PMR Trial paper!!!! I was angry at her but when I saw her drawing I couldn't help laughing.. She certainly has the skills so I scanned her pictures to put it in my blog.. Here are the drawings of my annoying 6-year-old sister, Dharshiniee:

So anyway since today is the last day of school (woohoo!! 1 week of computer!!!), I went to watch a movie with Phoebe and Xin Hui.. (It was Phoebe's idea..

Next is some shocking news I found about Toda-chan though I don't believe it...


The Rivalry Between Toda and Gakky

I don’t really know what’s happening between Aragaki Yui (21) and Toda Erika (20). A long time ago I heard that they are supposed to be good friends, but nowadays I often hear rumors about them being really big rivals as far as calling it the next "Sawajiri vs. Nagasawa" battle (which was a totally groundless rumor to begin with).

"They are really aware of each other as rivals now, even their birthdays aren’t more than 2 months apart from each other. In Code Blue they appeared together, but several people are saying that they didn’t talk with each other at all." A TV-Reporter explained.

Especially Toda seems to be in the focus of those rumors, claiming that she’s badmouthing Gakky and becoming a really arrogant actress to work with. "She’s certainly the type that gets her will no matter what. One magazine wrote that she even had the staff make a custom-made bento with less calories just to go with her diet. She’s only 20 now, so it’s probably going to become even worse when she gets older." A dorama staff commented about Toda.

As you can see, it’s worse than just not sharing words with fellow actress Gakky. The problem about Toda seems to be that she easily becomes a snobby person and already thinks of herself as a VIP.

"Back then during Code Blue, Toda totally couldn’t stand how Aragaki acted all cutesy around Yamashita Tomohisa just so he would like her more. It seems that Aragaki tried to stick really close to Yamapi and never stopped smiling at him while Toda just grumpily watched the whole thing from the side. The staff also says that Toda tried to avoid her at all costs and often badmouthed her from safe distance." That same TV-Reporter added to the matter.

Things get even more interesting when you look at their rumored love lifes. It’s already a widely-spread rumor that Toda is currently in a serious relationship with Kanjani Eight’s Murakami Shingo (27). Apparently they have been a couple ever since they worked together in the dorama Arigato, Okan.

"A woman magazine took pictures of her entering his apartment after the final celebrations for the end of the dorama Ryuusei no Kizuna. Since then they often have been spotted together coming and going at his apartment, so much that it’s basically impossible to deny that there is something going on between the two." A cameraman explains.

Now to the actual interesting part of the story and thanks for that other reporter from a woman magazine for revealing this little quote of Toda. As you might know, Aragaki has also been rumored to be in a relationship with a fellow actor, Miura Haruma (19) back then when filming Koizora. Now there’s a quote that is supposed to have been said by a very satisfied Toda when she heard about Aragaki’s love rumor. "I guess guys from Johnny’s are still far out of her reach after all." Isn’t she lovely?

Who knows how much of this is actually true, especially since it’s such a one-sided rumor. Maybe Gakky will also show more attitude in the near future and we will be able to see some more obvious sparks flying between these two amazing actresses.

Information

Tegoshi entered Johnny's during December 2002. He participated in various Johnny's Junior activities until, ten months later, he debuted as a part of NEWS. At the time of his debut, he was almost completely unknown. Even most of the members did not know who he was.

However, he gained popularity with his singing, which was one of the best in the group. He also started in acting, becoming the first member to star in a movie, and gained more roles in various Japanese dramas. He appeared with band members on Johnny's related television shows like Shounen Club and Ya-Ya-yah. He also hosted his own radio show, What a Wonderful Music. He is the self-proclaimed worst dancer but is considered one of the best, if not the best, singer in the group.

During NEWS's hiatus in 2006, he and bandmate Takahisa Masuda formed the duo Tegomass. They released the single Miso Soup in Sweden, recorded entirely in English, that reached #12 on the Swedish charts. In December of 2006, they released the Japanese Miso Soup single in Japan, which reached #1 on the Oricon charts.

Currently, he is once again working as a member of NEWS. He will also be working in Tegomass as they are scheduled to represent the Japanese High School Volleyball Tournament as well as contribute a song to the anime Lovely Complex.

* During live performances he likes to twirl his index finger at the camera.(Lol :)
* He is considered spoilt by his bandmates and once forced Masuda onto a smaller bed in a hotel room.
* His bandmates often describe him as being "harmlessly self-centered." We would not get along well...)
* In an appearance on Domoto Kyoudai, he said that Tomohisa Yamashita was his most admired senpai because he saw Yamapi's dramas and thought that he was cool.
* He often hangs out with bandmates Takahisa Masuda and Keiichiro Koyama.
* It is well known that bandmate Ryo Nishikido likes him a lot, often doting on him and coining the nickname Tegonyan.

* He has a driver's license.

He took the exam for Aoyama Gakuin where Kato Shigeaki studies, but he failed the test and instead passed the test for Horikoshi High School and is now in Waseda University studying Psychology.

He is called the RainMan because when doing photoshoots outdoors, he usually goes first and when he does, it always rains. It happened in the Hoshi wo Mezashite Jacket Photoshoot. In addition to this, when he was filming Gekidan Engimono it also rained. It also rained when they were filming the final scenes of Shissou even though the weather report said it was going to be clear and so they can't shoot the scene. The same thing also happened on the first day of My Boss My Hero. (LOL)

He has a dog named Tinny which he calls his girlfriend and that he spoils. His nickname for her is Tiny

He idolized Kimura Takuya of SMAP and has posters of him in his house and he wishes to have a duet with him one day.

He admires Celine Dion so much that he mimics her sometimes and has all her DVDS and watches her in reference to performing.

He always carries a LARGE box of perfume in his bag. (O.o LOL)

He always enters the Johnny's office with a "Yoo-hoo!" - Yamashita Tomohisa

He treats Koyama Keiichiro like his Oniisan and often goes out with him for Karaoke

He formed a "black hair alliance" with Nishikido Ryo and Ryo will only sing a duet with him if he reverts to his old black hair.

He has acrophobia, because he got stuck at a 4th floor of an apartment and somehow he needed to jump off. He landed safely but from then on, he got scared of heights.

He admits that he does not have Fashion Sense and asks Ryo to be his Fashion Guru.

Tegoshi tends to be clingy. He is clingy to everyone and often gives them hugs before he leaves for the day or in greeting.

Concerning dancing, Tegoshi took intense dance lessons with Massu during the hiatus because he was tired of people saying that he can't dance.

His favorite food is Yakiniku and would often invite people to join him to go there.

He is a text addict and texts everyone "Good Morning" and "Good night" everyday.

He speaks to Massu everyday after work/in the evening to check on him. Furthermore, TegoMass makes it a point to go out to do something together at least once a week to keep good friendship.

George Miller handpicked him for his role in Happy Feet. When asked why he chose Tegoshi Yuya, he answered "Because he is full of confidence, and it is the very element I want to enforce to the youth."

When taking pictures, Tegoshi calls his own shots piccasso like because he takes of the weirdest things and usually they come out blurry. (Tesshi hott hott hott!)

For Valentine's day, Tegoshi attempted to bake everyone in NEWS and the staff some cookies, and they came out tasting great but a little too hard. He describes his cookies as "tough love"

Tegoshi's locker is like a girl's because it has a lot of cute stuff in it, perfume, mirror and pictures of NEWS, TegoMassu, Koichi Senpai and it is very neat and colorfully arranged. -Massu

Tegoshi wrote the lyrics to Over,(composed by Kato Shigeaki and duet with Shige), and Trashbox. He is a budding lyricist and loves to come over Shige's house to compose songs.

Nakayama, Yamada, Chinen form NYC Boys
Monday June 8, 2009 Japan






Last week, Johnny's Jimusho announced the formation of a new unit called "Yuma Nakayama with B.I.Shadow." Now, that group's five members will be teaming up with Hey! Say! JUMP's Ryosuke Yamada and Yuri Chinen to form a temporary seven-member unit known as "NYC boys."

The group made their first stage appearance on Sunday during a Johnny's Jr. concert. The name comes from the initials of Nakayama, Yamada, and Chinen. The "NYC boys" will serve as the special supporters of the Women's Volleyball World Grand Prix, which takes place from July 31 to August 23. The competition is being aired on Fuji TV, and the unit will sing the theme song, titled "NYC."

"NYC" is being sold as a double A-side with "Akuma na Koi," the debut single of Yuma Nakayama with B.I.Shadow. That release goes on sale July 15.

With "Gokusen: The Movie" less than a couple months away, a new announcement has revealed that six more actors from the drama's earlier seasons will be returning, including Shun Oguri and Mocomichi Hayami.

The movie is already known to focus on the cast of the show's third season, which aired in 2008. It was previously announced that Yuya Takaki, Haruma Miura, and Yuta Tamamori are part of the main cast. At the end of last month, it was also revealed that the second season's Kazuya Kamenashi was added to the cast.

Now, the number of returning alumni has again increased, adding three students each from the drama's first two seasons. Oguri will represent the first season, along with Yuma Ishigaki and Hiroki Narimiya. From the second season, Hayami will be joined by Teppei Koike and Keisuke Koide.

Although all six played delinquent students in their respective seasons, they have grown up to become respectable members of society. Together with Kamenashi's character, who has become a teacher in training, these graduates will lend their support to the beloved teacher "Yankumi," played by starring actress Yukie Nakama. This movie is said to be Nakama's last time to take on this role.

Filming for the movie finished on May 13. The picture opens in theaters on July 11.

• Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

• Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.
