Ah! This article is for the win~

Original article from here

Dear Johnny Kitagawa,

Your agency Johnny's and Associates has managed to turn all your beautiful boys into money making, hip-thrusting machines -- pimping them out on every inch of commericial space in Japan, whether it be a television dramas, variety shows, stage plays, or environmental charity events. You even use them in commercials to sell body deodorant, mobile phones, bath products, and fried chicken. You've let their bubblegum pop music invade all our heads. Some of us find ourselves unconsciously doing the dance steps and matching hand gestures in public. Some of us even parade around as them!

And let's not talk about how well your boys sell: in the Oricon Top 50 of 2008, 20 of the singles are from Johnny's talent. Kanjani8 and Arashi earned the top two selling music DVDS, and let's not forget about the top selling photobooks from Arashi. Stage plays, such as Koichi Domoto's Endless Shock held its 500th show this past year. All the live tours of the boys are highly-coveted tickets. This year, Matsujun was named one of GQ Japan's Men of the Year; Kimutaku and Junichi Okada both took home Best Actor awards at the Television Drama Academy Awards.

Some boys are talented, some boys are not, and some boys... I question if they're even boys in the first place. But that just means there's a boy out there for everyone! You're very protective, making sure your boys aren't wrongfully portrayed in the gossip magazines -- not even letting Asia Pacific Arts use a picture of MatsuJun for our interview story (hmph!). You probably have some master plan to take over the world with your army of beautiful bishounen. After winning the hearts of millions and millions of fangirls, why not conquer everyone else?

Well, all I would like to say is thanks. The world is a much better place, now that we have boys with great hair in flashy, sequined costumes. I can die happy now.

Sincerely,
Kanara Ty


May I just add that Arashi is the best cure for sadness? ^^ I love the person who wrote this article, she's so right!
