Today on Tackey's radio show Takizawa Denpajou, Tackey and Kyomoto-sama talked about Snow Man (Kyo-sama calls Watanabe as "NabeSho" ^^). Also, next week episode (May 17th) Snow Man will be guests on the show!! Be sure to listen this when you have a chance! You can probably also find it on YouTube etc as there are people who upload this show. You can search with 滝沢電波城.
Also, haven't had the time to translate Wink Up yet and probably won't for a little while (will do as soon as just have the time ;__;) but Wink Up has a corner where you can choose your favorite combi from among different debuted boys and juniors! Snow Man also got to suggest their own favorite combinations which were the following:
- 12."NabeFuka" (suggested by Abe)
- 13."IwaFuka" (suggested by Hikaru)
- 14."IwaDate" (suggested by Miyadate)
- 15."AbeSaku" (suggested by both Fukka and NabeSho)
- 16."HikaSaku" (suggested by Sakuma - Sakuma, I'd use IwaSaku instead ^^;)

Pair that gets the most votes gets a special photo shoot for the August issue so please vote for our snowmen! (I am obviously voting for IwaFuka and the fact that Hikaru himself suggested this makes it all the more better XD)
You can vote by either sending a postcard with your address info on it, or sending an email (please mark email address with your pen name in the end - for people voting from outside Japan please use this method). For the message you need to write which number you vote for, and reason why you think this is the best pair (short message of 1~2 sentences is enough). And as said, include your pen name.
Mail address to send to is nandemo-j [at] wani [dot] co [dot] jp
For title please copypaste the following: WiNK UP編集部「ベストコンビ大賞」
Please write the reason why you chose this pair in JAPANESE. If you can't write Japanese, please write in comment here what you want to say, and I'll translate it for you. Also, even if you don't need any help, everyone planning on voting please comment on the post which pair do you think would be the best? :) (Or even if you don't want to vote, although that'd be shame since we're given a chance to have extra photoshoots for snowmen!) Just interesting to know which of these combis would be most liked among foreign fans as well ^^
Only one vote per person. Deadline for votes is 30th of May Japan time.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO INCLUDE THE NUMBER OF THE PAIR YOU CHOSE! Write that before your reason of choosing the pair.
PS. EbiZa had its first show yesterday, and while Snow Man parts were reduced from the first half (which is basically same as last year) to make it shorter, they appear a lot more during the second half. Even Japanese fandom - and non-Snow Man fans as well - have been amazed by Snow Man's ability to be able to perform on such perfect level only few days after Takizawa Kabuki ended! Also, speaking of EbiZa, last year's version DVD release has been announced so be sure to order your copy! ^^

When Iwamoto shooting for his movie (BBJ i mean), and make a friend with Shige, i felt Fuka's feeling (i think he felt jealous to Shige XD because Iwamoto had spent a lot of time with Shige.. Poor Fuka :D).. i love how Fuka treat Iwamoto \O~O, such as when they didn't met up in one day, they texting each other (Iwamoto message him "i'm home" and Fuka answered "okaeri", they're like a lovey dovey pair, kyaaa >~<).. Although Fuka is older than Iwamoto, but we know that Fuka is childish XD and he love kids too, but Iwamoto respected him a lot, he said Fuka is actually the most considerate among the members, a kind hearted oldest member (huuuaaa Iwamochan >~<).. This comment is already long XD, the truth there are still many reason why i love Iwafuka, but i think this is enough for me.. Ganbatte Iwafuka!"
The most pairing i like in JE.. XD

Date: 2014-05-10 18:06 (UTC)With all the combis in competition I'm not believing in Snow Man winning but I hope the amount of votes would be important enough to be noticed o/
no subject
Date: 2014-05-11 01:33 (UTC)Yeah since we're going against debuted groups and other popular juniors I really don't think there are chances (especially since even among snowman many of those pairs are popular so divides votes, while with some groups there's only one pair representative so everyone would vote that) but at least having some extra votes looks always good ^^ Pretty sure they post some new pictures with the ranking at least.

Date: 2014-05-10 18:13 (UTC)My reason for loving this pair is because they get along well with each other. When I saw all the footage of BBJ as they played around with each other, they were having fun and it seems like they are in their own fun world. They are so cute!
I'm really looking forward to Tackey radio show. <3
Yesterday when I talked with my friend who is a Ebiza fan, she said that she was afraid this DVD is only a summary of the show last year coz the name of DVD has "digest" word. But still I want to buy it. I want to see Snow Man performing on stage and their singing voice. >.

Date: 2014-05-11 01:39 (UTC)The title of the DVD is WEIRD! We were talking about this with some other fans, but the description of the DVD says "almost no-cut" so should be basically full version of the show, but the digest on the title... Basically we came to the conclusion someone who doesn't understand the meaning of the word came up with that ^^;

Shucks...time to save up money and buy more DVDs...>

Date: 2014-05-13 05:56 (UTC)この2人の間は強い絆があると思います。とくに「BAD BOYS J」のメイキング映像の一緒に遊んでいるのを見て、これを強く感じました。
BBJ movie out this month (they just updated extra footage details!), then Ebi DVD, and later at some point Kabuki DVD... So glad I'm limiting my spending to snowman related stuff only because these days IT'S A LOT OF THINGS ^^;;
