I know it already has passed over a week since the countdown was shown...
so HAPPY NEW YEAR.
This year was a so-so countdown, most because they used song that didnt really fit their voices..!
Congrats to the Hey Say JUMP members who now are old enough to participate through the whole show!!
Also this year Arashi was the MC!! Sugoiiii NE!
The Show started off with
1. Arashi - Believe The song of the year.
I missed the sakurap but you can't get it all I guess, It was genki and Matsujuns hairstyle =
<3 <3 <3 Also the white outfits was nice!
Then the boys did a small introduction and Matsujun handed the show over to
2. KinKi Kids - Glass no Shounen The song never gets boring...!!
But the outfits, what was up with that? they looked awful. and Kochan had done nothing with his hair.. he looked old and tired to me. (T__T)
And Tsuyoshi had a hat on as usual..!
A J was shown during their performance, since they had used Tokyo Dome for one of their concerts earlier... like they always do on New years.
After Kink kids it was time for the group who debuted in 2006.
3. KAT-TUN - Real Face I was not impressed by their singing or performance..
I usually like Uedas hairstyle but this time he looked a like a girl with a really bad hairday!! Junno is blond again, this time it looks better compare to last year!
All the way over in Osaka....
4. Kanjani8 - Naniwa Iroha Bushi Their dome was full and genki..then I'm talking about the audience.
Back to Tokyo and..
5. NewS - NEWS Nippon
It was genki but weird to see Ryochan in Osaka and the rest in Tokyo..
But it looked nice anyway! wonder how it was in Osaka though.. see 1 but hear the other members ^^
NEWS outfit was much better than Kanjani 8
Going back to 90's and V6s debute song
6. V6 - Music for the People Brought back memories from the tour in Seoul! and it was genki as always.. this is also a song that I never get tried off
They ended it with a backflip!! of course.. they are V6! Wonder if Go is even blonder now than 1,5 months ago. he looked a bit blonder ^^
They are back...
7. Tackey & Tsubasa - Sotsugyou
BUT NOT on the same stage, I was like
WHAT WHAT WHAT??? again.. NOOOOOOOO But they did a nice performance. but I want TACKEY & TSUBASA together. They have been apart for a long time now!!
Tsubasa looked way more handsome than how I remember... XD
Then to the newest JE band!
8. NYCboys - NYC Actually I never really listened to the song much before, but they were cute.. N Y and C ^^
Wonder if they will debute as an official group this year!?
After that it was over to
9. Hey!Say! JUMP - Ultra Music Power They are soo young but they are growing and the song is cute!! and fun to see.. but they had to hurry since some of the members are underaged.
Chinens voice is still like a small boys ^^ wonder how he will sound in the future!
Yabu Kota was so cute, he looks like he is 12.. but he is NOT.. ^^
Wow...havent seen them for a while and they had changed looks abit..
10. TOKIO - Love You Only I was surprised that they didnt play their instruments. but the crowd start jumping!
Also TOKIOs leader Joshima Shigeru looked a bit younger for some reason.. lots of makeup?? (^^;;)
1 min and 40 sec until NEW year and it was time for
11. Arashi - A.Ra.Shi They had changed outfit, the outfit reminded me of a circus but..well.. and of course The crowd went all GENKI and so did Arashi!
THEN it was time for COUNTDOWN and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
I dont get why they say A HAPPY NEW YEAR in Japan... it's incorrect English but.. (^^;;) Takki went a bit nut^^ Ballons all over Tokyo Dome.
Matsujuns smile was
<3 <3 <3 <3 Happy B-day to Kochan (KinKi Kids)
Then was time for Johnny's smash hit medley. Arashi kicked off by singing
12. Arashi - Love So Sweet This song has been the it song for me since I heard it.. I love it, it's so sweet and just wonderful!!
After going across the stadium they passed it over to Yamapi and Kame Kazuya..
13. Shuji to Akira - Seishun Amigo This song is nice and it's nice to se Y and K together.
Also this song means a bit more to me since it was Swedish people who wrote it and it was also sold in Sweden!!
members of Hey Say JUMP was backdancers... once again.. Yabu was super cute with his smile!
Going around the dome and singing...
14. TOKIO - Sorafune This song was played in my room quite alot back in 2006!
it was catchy but I though they were going to be even more genki... you know how Nagase-kun can be ^^ talking about Nagase.. his hair.. please someone help him.. it looked like something died on his head!!!!!
Across Japan and back to Osaka and
15. Kanjani8 - Zukkoke Otokomichi You could see that the fans was happy and moving!
Then Ryochan introduced Taichi and Tsuyoshi kun.. haha he was super sweet.. tried to show his innocent face!
16. Toraji Haji - Fantastipo
I have never liked this song.. but to see this combination is fun because it's so.. hmm.. ODD?
Tsuyoshi-kun is a WAY better singer though ^^
Another genki song and...
17. NewS - weeeek Once again to see Ryochan in Osaka and the rest in Tokyo is amazing.. but I wonder how it sounds...!! probably better on TV.
Back to another old song..
18. V6 - Ai Nanda I loved their purple outfit!! and it was cute seeing NEWS members dance to the song!
Innochi was in a happy mood, as always!! wonder what V6 would be without him!?
Back to
19. KAT-TUN - Rescue What was up with this.. ONLY the intro.. it was boring and Kame and Akanishi had to struggle a bit in order to keep their voices in tune!
But I mean.. I would have wanted to hear more because..well.. for me that performance was like.. HUH?
Over to the boys who now are old enough to be a part of the WHOLE countdown concert!
20. Hey! Say! BEST - Mayonaka no Shadow Boy That will say Yabu Kota, Takaki Yuya, Inoo Kei, Yaotome Hikaru and Arioka Daiki!
Yamada Ryosuke was cute with his pose and Shadow ^^
It was fun to see them but well I was actually missing the other boys..
I loved when the camera filmed the rest of Hey Say Jump.. they all did the same dance at the end.. naw.. soon they will be old enough.. or well.. Morimoto has some years to go!
Over to their senpai and a new song!
21. KinKi Kids - Swan Song Dressed in white and.. can I say that this song is a typical Kinki song?
well it is.. and it really suits them!
The crowd love it too and the boys showed some LOVE on stage.. and the crowd went
KYAAAAAAAAA~ Then.....two of his solos from last
(this) year
22. Takizawa Hideaki - Ai Kakumei~Sha La La Sorry.. Takki but your English is way off..! It's supposed to be Girl and

26. Sneaker Blues Time for
Ikuta Toma to shine!!
Nagase held his arm around Kochan like if he was his girlfriend!
Matsujun had his arm on Yamapi and someone got jealous... ^^ then Akanishi poked Matsujun's face and Matsujun gave the

30. Tackey & Tsubasa, Nishikiori Kazukiyo - Kamen Budokai Also an old song.. Shounentai!!
Another DAI senpai!! and the song was so so.. but well TxT on the ONE and SAME stage!!!
Maybe the best during the whole show?
31. Tackey & Tsubasa - Venus They went all nuts but still so amazing!!!
TxT are so cute, hope to see more of them in 2010. It would have had been even more awsome if they would have had been in Tokyo dome!!
Still dont get it why Takki didnt go there...
Time for the boys to sing each ohers songs
32. KinKi Kids - Darling Have to say, it didnt suit them that much.. that song is tooooo GENKI for them!!
And their faces was like.. plz let the 40 sec be over soon!
33. Arashi - Sukiyanan, Osaka
So cute, seriously they did it well.. maybe not as GENKI but then again.. KJ8 are TOOO hype!
And Riida messed up at the end.. he used "normal" Japanese instead of Kansaiben ^^ I laughed a lot..and so did Matsujun!! (^___^)
Sukidayo = Normal, Sukiyanen = Kansaiben Also nice to see that they used the same outfit as they used in AAA2007!!! It shows that JE also think about the economy!!
Over to Osaka.. and time for an Arashi song!
34. Kanjani8 - One Love Dressed in their ranger suits!!
What can I say? Off key, bad.. they actually RUIN the song!! I love it but.. KJ..NEVER SING that song again!!!
even the dance was off and the dance for this song is SIMPLE!!!!
Ryochan was cut and Matsujun smiled but.. it was so off..it was fun to see that arashi also did the dance at the same time and they did it 10000000 times better!!
35. NewS - Aisareru Yori Aishitai
a KinKi song!! cute and no Ryochan (T__T)

Then time to end the countdown...
41. Hatsu Uta A JE countdown is not a countdown wthout this song!!! a perfect end!
This year is the year of the Tiger,and they talked among all groups before the show ended.
It was fun after TOKIO did their talk, Riida was like.. Over to Sakurai.. and Shochan was like.. huh? but he is the NEWS caster and saved the situation
OF COURSE!Also Matsujun did some CM for Akanishi's Bandage that will be released later this year!
Arashi and Riida finished the show.. he also made me laugh!

Wonder how Next Years countdown will be... it'd be so cool if Arashi got their own countdown!
Will write more later but is in a need of sleep...
