Thanks for the lovely news updates! I so enjoyed them! I’ve been learning Japanese for many years, but not fluent. I appreciate the translations and I’ll keep checking on your site for info from now on! BTW, I went to Jin’s concert in June: it was AWESOME! I wish more Johnny’s groups could do US tours…
Thank you so much!

@amee
I have lived overseas for some time so living so close to Johnny’s is something quite new to me!
But I got to Japan because I was always on the lookout for an opportunity to get here
I hope you find the same chance to come here as well and see one of their concerts!
Or maybe start something that might raise the chances of arashi or kat-tun coming to dubai? good luck!

You do an amazing job and I LOVE your blog. It’s my absolutely number one resource for this kind of info. And it’s great for someone who, like me, is 99% of the time clueless about what’s going on with her favourite artists. xD
Thank you for sharing with us, Momo-san, you’re great!
@Andrea:
Thank you for your comment
I had that feeling when I was living overseas so I wanted to contribute to the fan community in some way (even if work prevents me from doing so sometimes).
Feel free to comment anytime!

Thanks for reading my blog!
Anything you think can help, feel free to share.
Thanks for letting me know though
I’ve followed Yabu and Hikaru since they started in Johnny’s Jr., but I really like Chinen and Yamada too
See you around!

Yokatta ne , I really happy to hear that.
do you wanna become my sharing friends? Sometime I’m afraid if wanna post something about JUMP, i’m afraid it will make bad rumour. I think if I can share to you about it, it will be better.
Is okay if I call you Momo chan?
@hsjlounge:
Sure, if you have any stories let me know! Likewise, feel free to share anything as well.
Lol, Momo-chan is cool.
See you around!

Doumo momo chan, ano, do u know about summary 2012 this year? Is it still JUMP in summary 2012?
@hsjlounge:
Not that I know I can remember…I think the more junior groups (Sexy Zone, jr.) did the show this year :s
Sorry for the late reply!
