Jumping to My Heart! 💓

[riemaynine]

Yes! Hello minna! I am happy to announce that I am now active in my fandoms, more active than last 2015. I had semi-hiatus status last year due to several work-related reasons, that I was really outdated to some fandom stuffs. But now, I am here, fangirling once again, and I admit, I have slight changes in my fandom.

As I have mentioned last time, NEWS now became my ichiban fandom, although I am still sticking with Arashi and Kanjani8. But lately, after I think this over, my heart sparks again, towards my first two fandoms! Yes, I am becoming updated with them again.

This time, I have added another fandom, also from the same agency as my first three fandoms. If you would notice the title of this entry, I bet you have that one group that enters in your minds. And you're right! 

I AM STARTING TO LOVE HEY! SAY! JUMP.

I was actually already aware of this kouhai group of my first idol groups. That was when I started became an Arashi fan, and when Gokusen 3, wherein Takaki Yuya starred, was aired. Due to being a curious Jpop lover in general during that time, I have heard and saw PVs of their first singles (Ultra Music Power, Dreams Come True, Your Seed, Mayonaka no Shadow Boy, as well as Bouken Rider), as well as the pre-debut Hey! Say! 7's Hey! Say!, BON BON and I wo Kure. But during that time, I only knew Takaki, until I recognized someone from the PVs that has this tiny but high singing voice - it's Chinen Yuri. But I did not get hooked with them right away, since I preferred matured idols. I thought that they're too young, although we're of the same age range - I am also Heisei-born.

The third member who I knew was Yamada Ryosuke, but I forgot exactly when I first saw him - thru Arashi or thru Nishikido Ryo, since I have watched Arashi's TIME concert wherein newly-debuted JUMP performed during the con's MC part, as well as Niini Koto o Wasurenaide wherein Ryo starred with Ryosuke as his otouto. Or I think it was because he is the member who shares the same birthday as me! LOL...

Then I knew Okamoto Keito thru Ate Nei neitaro, since I started became a Kanjani8 fan. Since I was frequently visiting her LJ account during the time I was trying to know Eito, I knew that she is also a JUMP fan as well, with Keito as her bias. I just only lately realized that Keito is fluent in English.

But after that, I knew nobody in JUMP other than the four of them.

First quarter of this year, as I returned from being in semi-hiatus, I noticed that almost all of the posts appearing in my FB newsfeed were JUMP-related, mostly by a fan I adore because of her witty captions on her shared posts. Then the local showbiz online article about a young Filipino actress Thea Tolentino having a crush on Yamada Ryosuke made me feel curious about JUMP. I actually already knew that Thea is a JUMP fan before this article started circulating online, but that article's popularity among fangirls nowadays also contributed with my desire of knowing JUMP more. Since I realized that the members are already becoming handsome and mature, then why not try to know them, ne? I started recognizing other members of JUMP starting with Yabu Kota when he guested in Chikarauta, the show that my NEWS bias nowadays (gomen, Shige-sensei!) Koyama Keiichiro is hosting.

Then during the time I was about to meet up with the seller whom I had pre-ordered NEWS Quartetto goods, I never realized that, that seller is a known JUMP fangirl.
I still remembered how shy I was when I was approaching her, as in, I just went beside her, but I did not asked her immediately if she is the seller. Maybe I was just trying to get some confidence and guts to speak. Too EPIC! ROFLOL!

Anyway, I never realized that she is one of Thea's fandom friends, and a subber. During that time, it was just recently announced that Yamada would be playing the role of Edward Elric in live action adaptation of Full Metal Alchemist to be released in 2017, and in line with that, she said that they will be doing something 'big', which, I am hoping that this will be pushed through. As what I have thought, if Thais can bring Arioka Daiki in their country for their Jseries event, then why not Filipinos can bring Yamada here for the movie promotion?

During our conversation, I have said that I think I am starting to like JUMP, hence, she asked me who is my ichiban. I blurted "Yaotome Hikaru", but I just lately remembered I have posted an Instagram photo after rewatching their performance during Arashi concert, with caption stating that "If I would choose who can be my JUMP ichiban, it would be Yabu Kota, Inoo Kei or Arioka Daiki." A fellow Arashi fan whom I know personally just commented "Hikaru". Look how stupid I am that I considered Hikaru as my ichiban just with that comment! EPIC! xD Gomen nasai, fellow JUMP fan for telling you the wrong ichiban. Although, Hikaru has the most attractive eyes for me, and has this good sense of humor that I like, especially when he dressed up as a priest and as an emotional mom, xDD (But emotional Hika Mama looked good together with mustached Yuto Papa... LOL)

I really find Yabu Kota very handsome, Inoo Kei as very pretty, and Arioka Daiki as... well... having a funny face! xD

But, I ended up falling for that PENGUIN! hahaha xD
He has that pure aura, and I think he is really cute, but most of the time, he looks funny, LoL!

I tried listening to their songs, and oh my, most of their songs, especially the ballad songs, have the feels! Yeah, this year, I am doing my best to know them more, as I really wanted to be one of the TOBIKKOs.

Adding another fandom may mean more goods to be purchased (hence, more flying money... T^T) but it's my happiness!

So, as of 2016, I am an ARASHIST, EIGHTER, PAANA and TOBIKKO! :)

Meet me, gadiskacamata; a JUMPing Girl or Tobiko from Malaysia...
for me, it is started when I watch Japanese drama during my uni days... I think it was in 2013 when suddenly my twin force me to watch Nobuta wa Produce...

I meet Yuto and yamada first, then YabuHika from Nintama rantaro (100% song) and later I meet Yuyan in Gokusen... only when I watched Gokusen, I starts want to know more about Yuya which later make me watched Super Delicate dance...It was soo kakkoii!!! and that's how my life change completely from being an innocent girl to a girl full of admiration towards JUMP (^^,)...
hahaha...

from that moment too, Yuya had become my ichiban... but at that time, I choose him as my ichiban was bcoz I thought he have the less fans, so I feel like I am responsible to increase his popularity... hahaha... I remembered how I repeatedly asking my twin, which one the one who appeared in Gokusen every time I watch JUMP performance as at first I can't recognize Yuyann at all.. but it just for 1 or 2 months only, after that I managed to know JUMP members well...
