This is the journal to Ladymercury, some crazy 20something year old chick that lives in Florida and likes Japanese shit (like tokusatsu and johnny's entertainment and stuff like that, yeah!). She's has had this journal since July 10th, 2002 and has spammed countless friends lists. If you don't like spammy journals then don't even bother adding this one. Wanna find something, then check out my tags for senseless fandom musings.
This journal is mostly friends only. Layout is from Minty Peach and butchered to hell by me. It features Ryuhei Maruyama (Orange) and Yuu Yokoyama (Black) from the boyband "Kanjani8", managed under Johnny's and Associates. Color theme reflects their 'colors' from their Eito Ranger skits.

THIS JOURNAL IS 99.5% FRIENDS ONLY
1) must add me to friends list 2) must live with my biatching 3) get offended with my entries, not my problem 4) if i forgot you, remind me here 5) if you find offense to my political, personal, moral, and general opinions then this isn't the journal for you. you have been forewarned. 6) if you add me without commenting here i will NOT add you back, i don't care what the circumstances are, i will NOT add you back. if you do not comment with anything more than why or an introduction (i'd like to know who you are before i even add you) i will NOT add you back.
It really lived up to what I expected it to be. Ohno has this look that really scares the shit out of me. I'm so used to "Umai" and happy Ohno that I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR FAMILY'S DOG Ohno is really.... scarying the shit out of me.
He really is playing a man with no heart.
Toma runs. And runs. and runs. and keeps on running.
I really kept thinking " Does he have a car? He runs a lot "
Then they showed his little cop car and I was like " So why is he running again?"
Toma was right on last weeks Recomen, he runs and screams A LOT in this drama. I think the highlight that won me over with Toma was when he was holding the knife, that really sold me because that actually required him acting and he truly looked scared shitless.
And way Ohno just stood there, staring at him.
God I wish I had screencaps right now just to show you how awesome Maou really is.
AND NINO CAMEO'D BUT IT LOOKS LIKE HE'LL BE BACK.
It also looks like Ohno is gonna shank him. But later.
and Nino was all up in Ohno's face.
... and in three hours my f-list will be flooded with Ohmiya fanfics, spazzes, pic spams, and rants.
I also watched Monster Parent. It's really not what I had expected it to be. It's just kind of spazzy, really. I expected a really straight forward serious drama, like Watashitachi no Kyoukasho or 14sai no Haha and I didn't get none of that. I just got this really whacked out crazy mess of a drama that I'll probably not watch. Great, my first let down of the Summer 2008 season.
Also, ARASHI's song for MAOU. For some reason, I wasn't really feeling it. I expected something epicer... I kind knew ARASHI couldn't pull off a song that deep but... eh, I thought they could have done better :( I'll probably buy download it anyway.
So, I invited my mom to come with me to LA because I don't feel comfortable being in LA, by myself, for the first time. She said she may buy a ticket to see GLAY as well, I told her the tickets at the box office was going to be like 38 dollars, I think. I couldn't tell her I spent 53 dollars online >_> She wanted to know who the group was, I pointed her to my WALL-O-GLAY (and mini WALL-O-GLAY) and she was like " Ohhhh them. "
Yeah. Maybe she'll like them. I dunno.
I really hope they play like old songs. Seriously. I do not know any of their songs after G4, when I officially stopped listening to them. .-.
In other news, I bought some fireworks. Tomorrow is 4th of July, even though its raininy like hell over here. I am going to record a stupid video of me lighting up a firecracker.
Oh, in uToob news, my Magibon parody vid is getting a lot of comments. Its really scary.
I just paid a 168 dollar cable bill. Apparently that's THE bill's monthly fee. My parents just gave the cable bill responsibility to me to earn my keep in this house. DASK;GJDSA;LKGSDG that was my new york spending money.
This will be the first time saying it but, Zutara fans are really annoying me. They honestly believe Zutara is canon when there has been no proof stated that IN THE SHOW Zuko and Katara will officially hook up. Yes, that is hypocritical of me being a fellow Zutara shipper but come on now people, even Bryke said it themselves they find the fans amusing and admire our .... dedication but they never said Zutara is canon. I wish the fandom would stop making us normal, passive, shippers look like rabid idiots.

I guess I should call this part two of my " How the fuck does it happen " rant.
Meet Magibon, a 22 year old woman who has reached otaku-fetish idolism, internet stardom, and gravure model status in little less than a year of Japanese television executives discovering this "weeaboo"'s YouTube page.
ARIGATOU (._.)
Yes, that 30 seconds of "nothing" (as she titles her videos) is what made this girl a underground phenomeum in less than a year. Despite what you maybe thinking at this moment, no she is not Japanese. In fact, she's not even remotely Asian -- or even part or half asian -- She is an average white girl with a big Japanese fetish who happens to open her eyes really wide, wear heavy eyeliner and eyelash make up, look up while tilting her chin down, pout her lips, and say a few nonessential lines in Japanese.
She gives off the illusion of being Japanese.
It doesn't help for a while she was parading as if she was at least part Japanese for a while until she started getting famous in Japan and gave out that she was born in West Palm Beach, Florida and is white through and through.
Each of her "nothing" videos last no more than a minute of her just looking around the room, or camera, making a goofy face. Let's break down the "Magibon Formula to Success"
1. O_O 2. O.O 3. OvO 4. ???? 5. PROFIT
The Japanese had actually believed that she was fluent, or at least able to conversationally speak the language considering she played off the " kawaii hazukashii mitenai desu yo " image in her videos, uttering " Konnichi-wa, Magibon desu~ " and then staring into the camera like a deer caught in the headlights.
... Until she actually arrived and then proved she wasn't more than a obessed white girl who didn't know what they were saying or how to say it back. Case in point, landing a interview on Mari Yaguchi's show on the internet tv station, Gyao.
Trainwreck.
But at least it wasn't national humiliation. Instead her image recovered through a few interview's in Japan's monthly Playboy. One while in Japan and the other, they flew over to her and did it in her own town. Photoshoot and all. Clothed of course, well, unless you count the several gravure photoshoots she's done as well here and there.
Either way she's scored popularity with the otakus and perverts of Japan.
Oh, one more headache for you guys.
Out of all the "white idols" in Japan that have been plucked here and made in to something over there, even if for 15 minutes of fame, she annoys me the most.
Don't ACT Japanese. Don't be Japanese. It's annoying. Thanks to himitsu124 for enlightening me on this trainwreck.
