So today's Shokura theme was ROCK but we all know what Johnny means by ROCK is just ghei music with lots of drums and guitar, so bleh :P

It started out with the ROCK version of Naniwa Iroha Bushi (yes, they have a rock version, and they even have a Trance Mix and a Christmas Version). Shoon being spazzy and staring at the camera like that is always awesome, although I do wish he had more screentime this SC. Yassu, being this month's guest, came out doing Subaru's supposed part in Naniwa Iroha Bushi and might I say, it doesn't suit him =_=

The ROCK medley was awesome as well, Osaka Obaachan Rock, She Said (Another KAT-TUN song I'm fond of), PIKA*NCHI (omg, squeal), Daybreak, and LIPS. Why two KAT-TUN songs and no NewS songs? I feel bad D:

But yeah, Hasshi is awesome as usual, singing Lips in his usual Akanishi Jin way, but someone who surprised me was Nozawa. He, apparently, has a pretty decent voice. It sent shivers down my spine in a good way 8D. A little more pimping and I'll be a certified fan. :P

I couldn't understand the letter segment because Hamanaka's Kansai-ben was too thick XD That, and I was talking to someone on Y!M. Forgive me x_x I'm not so much of a Butoukan and Kisumai fan s'why I didn't pay so much attention D: But from the laughs I heard from the audience, it must have been very amusing X_x

Butoukan is back, this time, not sporting white, but a rather dominating black. PFFT Johnny, just because they're wearing black doesn't mean the song automatically becomes ROCK. WTF. But I actually liked the new song, Sweet Butterfly. Although it did sound like they were saying YOUR BUTT FLY IN MIDNIGHT. =_=

Then came the talk segment with Yassu, I again, wasn't listening XD but what came after was AWESOME.

One of my FAVE K8 songs, MISETEKURE. I LOVE the song, but I don't love Yassu trying to sing like Subaru too much. It's sort of his normal voice, but then Yassu intentionally dragged his notes to try to sound like Subaru (IMO), so meh, not the best performance but I'll take it.

And then there was the Nekketsu Junior League segment. My first reaction = OH LOOK! IT'S NOZAWA! :O

I'm not used to seeing him so pimped, I'm sorry, but I have to admit, he was pretty awesome.

Second reaction = OMG WHY NO QUESTION? -sadface- Sigh, owell.

When put up against Sanada, Nozawa was BY FAR cuter. OMG did you see his little bark and the way he blinked his eyes??? HE'S ADORABLE. That's it, I'm a convert. KEITO SAVE ME.

And then it was Tamamori vs Miyata. I forgot what they were supposed to do x_X I forgot to write it down, but I remember Miyata making me LOL :P

And then there was the UNFORGETTABLE Daite Seniorita Showdown with Fujigaya VS Senga. And Koyama did the Karaoke Emcee thing he did on HEYx3 during the Playback of Pi Performing lol. He's such a dork.

But yeah, Fujigaya actually made me SQUEAL. That's not normal people. It's not normal at all. I don't particularly like Fujigaya, so why the hell was I screaming? x_x

Senga, as usual, screwed it up and made a dork of himself, and in all honesty, I though Fujigaya was going to win, but lo and behold, Senga won. I was all WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH, and my mom came in and scolded me for being so loud D: (I forgot to lock my door)

But still, awesome.

I didn't catch the first part of the Goseki x Kawai battle because of my mom, but I came back in time to see Kawai's AWESOME acting XD Lol, he made me LOL so much.

Just when I thought nobody could beat that, Goseki came into screen and I remembered - Oh wait, Kawai's up against GOSEKI. It's a lose for Kawai for sure =_=

And hey, I was right XD Goseki won, but my love for Goseki grows every SC episode XD I think I might go back to my old ABC fangirling days. (yes, I did used to fangirl them. shut up)

After the Junior League segment we had a performance by Question? that I loved more than anything. I didn't catch the name of the song so if anyone knows it please tell me. I really loved it, almost as much as Parallel World. And who could forget Yodo's awesome voice. I mean, seriously, who would think that an awesome voice can come out of such a small compact and cute body D: (but wait, was it just me or were there no Fujie close ups? I didn't notice D: was he there? x_x I'm such a bad fangirl)

I felt a bit frustrated because during Q?'s performance, the audience, as usual, was as dead as a rock. I mean come on people, be lively! D:

More awesomeness was to come with another segment of KANSAI JUNIOR NI Q. Not as exciting as the last one, but OMG I love Itou Masashi XD He's so awesome. Hamanaka was so camera shy, it made me lol. And somewhere along the way, I noticed that Hamanaka looks a bit like Yassu o_O Owell.

The Junior ni Q segment was pretty short this week, but bleh, it's always short.

After there was a talk segment with ABC. Gocchi like The Rolling Stones, Tsuka likes Aerosmith, Totsu likes The Blue Hearts (?) and guess who Kawai likes? XDDDDDDDDDDD

His name starts with a MATSU and ends with a JUN.

MUSIC~~~~~~ STARTO!

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

OMG SO AWESOME. MATSUJUN MONOMANE FTW.

But his real answer made me squeal even more. He said that he liked OKAMOTO KEITO KENICHI. And I thought this was going to be a Keito-less episode. XD It makes me smile to see that Okamoto Kenichi is a well-loved senpai. It makes me more secure that maybe someday, Keito'll be like that as well.

ABC was then going to perform one of Okamoto Kenichi's songs, entitled SHELTER. As usual, Nakamaru tried to squeeze himself into the performance, but failed.

ABC then began their performance. OMG it was awesome, again, I go into "OMG OKAMOTO KENICHI IS AWESOME" mode when suddenly the lights dim and Nakamaru actually COMES OUT and starts BEATBOXING. I was ROTFLMAO at Koyama's reaction XD

I can't believe Nakamaru was actually serious about joining them XDDDD The song was still awesome though. Lol.

And then the end credits were played to the song OH! MY DREAM!, a song, which I mentioned before, I liked. But seriously WTF Johnny. OH! MY DREAM! is not ROCK. x_x

Have you noticed that Shoon's being pimped excessively?

Yes, I'm sure you have.

But then is it just me, or have you also noticed that when Shoon started to be pimped excessively, Reon seemed to be completely out of the picture? I don't know if it's just me not noticing Reon in the background or if he really just ISN'T THERE. Someone please tell me I'm wrong and that he's been appearing regularly because if he hasn't I'm going to be really worried. WHERE IS HE?

I was hoping they'd pimp Reon to the point that he'd catch up to Shoon and they'd debut as a duo or something, but if there's no Reon pimping the chance of that happening is ZERO. REON, WHERE ARE YOU? DDDDDDDDDD:
