Sea being not such an effective wall when there is a COUNTRY-LENGTH BORDER with a HOSTILE NATION which er overran you centuries ago

*shrewsbury not only has a CASTLE to flummox the celtic hordes, but a very short walk to the North there is a gloomy half-wooded field in a hamlet called “Battle”, where Prince Glyndwr was o’erthrown for good and all… and plus all of shropshire is protected by 1 x FAMOUS DYKE

Still the fight sequences were always pretty brilliant.

Though it was more because of Twinkie and Jin’s little acting FACE and flicky hair and trying to be all tough in peoples faces. Also it taught me I had been mispronouncing the name Ryu all these years. I blame Streetfighter2. Stupid Yankumi, although I have learnt lots of good useful japanese phrases from it ie “let’s all run together towards the horizon” which will come in useful no doubt.

Surely Ueda should have got the part of a boxer, being how he is AN ACTUAL BOXER (albiet a fish lipped freako of a boxer). Kame + eating issues is surely such a DON’T GO THERE that… that… they went there… *wibble*

I don’t know them enough to think which one is the most likely, I’ll do some research and get down Paddy Power.

Speaking of Yamada Ryosuke, dude dude!! Is the internet just mocking me or is it REALLY TRUE that he and KAMENASHI are going to be in a drama where Kame plays a boxer who has problems KEEPING HIS WEIGHT DOWN?? For srs??? Lardy Kamenashi?? Agh.

You are not wrong, he is q creepy. I’ve been watching a really dreadfully shoddy drama with Yamada Ryosuke in it, so I’m quite pro-him at the moment, aww his sad sad face and dead little eyes. It does have better rave noises than the first NEWS record, too.

also maybe here is the correct place to go: omg remember how NEWS debuted with nine members? that’s never going to stop being hilarious. Keep that rate of attrition going and HSJ will be back down to HS7 in no time.

He freaks me out a bit. Augh! I like him though! NOT IN THAT WAY. Watch the VIDEO and find out – I’m not watching it at work they will consider it SUSPICIOUS, oh sigh. It has taken me a while to like this song, in fact it only really clicked last night – also a scoosh of album tracks from the first NewS record = CLASSIC obv.

I was telling people the heisei thing in the pub last night, as if I weren’t traumatised ENOUGH.

I’m still not feeling this much (hey!say! was way better), it sort of sounds like a scoosh of album tracks off the first NEWS record?

things i didn’t know until just now: they’re called ‘hey!say!’ because they were all born in the heisei era, i.e. since 1989. ARGH.
