Hello! I'm just as new to the fandom as you are-- well, sort of. XD Mine started about two weeks ago, but welcome aboard! To me, joining a new fandom is always scary because you don't know as much as other people, or you get kind of intimidated in sharing opinions and stuff. n_________n I'm the same way about the other groups, (I find out about Kinki Kids, T&T, TOKIO, etc. NOW)so no worries. XD

What a coincidence, NewsHFan subbed them both. o3o Don't forget to comment when taking! *I forget sometimes* ><"

Ah,thank you so much for this..^^
I'm more into KAT-TUN before when my actual favourite is Tacchon,but sadly, it still didn't make me to join this fandom..*a bit scared,yeah*

Maybe it'd help to watch Wahaha, too? It's the first one I saw that got me hooked onto these guys. XDD

And of course, I went on a desperate search for the short haired one in a huge puffy vest. Had the hardest time finding him, then I realized in all the other videos he has longer hair. XDD; GEEZ, SHINGO. MAKE IT HARD FOR A GIRL TO FIND YOU HUH? )X

I think if you watch subbed videos by some groups like kansaiboys or eitokickass, or even je_mixed_fansubs, you'll get a REAL nice idea of what this group is like =X That's what I did.

Yes, I'm planing to watch it, a bit curious about the PV, but, please tell me if I'm wrong, tacchon didn't have any solo there right?
Hihi.. Shingo is adorable too.. He looks so calm, except for his tsukkomi. I watched some in old SC eps.
Ahh, subbed groups.. Got to see it then..^^

hello and welcome =D

^ performing it's my soul in MS subbed...if you just browse through her journal (it's a fansub journal) you'll find that she's subbed quite a few of k8's things despite not liking them because she is awesome like that

well, i have to go. Family thing going on ^_^...Enjoy your time with them ^_^

Ah I see..
Thank you so much for this,and esp since you had spent your time for this before doing your family things..^^

I just started not long ago as well!

For the performances I recommend!

- BJ http://community.livejournal.com/kanjani8/1653489.html

- Fuka Fuka Love the Earth Night Ver http://community.livejournal.com/eitokickass/8435.html

- Eden http://sarahnith.livejournal.com/9611.html

- Misetekure http://community.livejournal.com/akirashocksubs/9209.html

I basically love to see their performance when they are playing their own instruments! XD

You might need to join the communities to see the post and don't forget to thank them! <3

Ah thank you so much for these..
I've seen some of their perfs but in SC eps or Con DVDs only. Thanks so much, esp for the link for BJ..^^

My recommendation is to download and watch EXCITE (their first DVD) first followed by SPIRITS (2nd DVD) and then HEAT UP(3rd) and of course 47 (latest) as you look for more, in that order. It's really fun, you get to see them grow! and imho i think EXCITE gives a good start (don't forget the bonus backstage stuff!), it really introduced me to what K8 are all about.
except, if you're just looking for tacchon eyecandy, then maybe you'd prefer to ignore this suggestion, although I hope you give it a chance! Eito individually are great guys, but together, the group's just magical and I'd doubt you'll regret trying to learn about all of them and love them all!

forgot to add, honjani is the best! really, all the early stuff are unbeatable. unfortunately i don't have a comprehensive source/link

Thank you so much for these links and informations, it really helped me..
I want to see Kanjani8 as a group actually,thanks..^^

then you really can't go wrong with the EXCITE and Honjani episodes as a starting point ^-^ Also a lot of things (like their Eito ranger and other "inside jokes" like B-gatan and other later references started as something small or a passing joke earlier on ^_^ - it's really cool to see how they all later developed into something bigger). Their con MC's and various bonus DVD and backstage extras have been subbed by BNS, KansaiBoys and Hesistate Fansubs so definitely check them out!

so have you tried enough of SCP episodes besides Ohkura's? you can learn more about Subaru, Yoko & Hina individually, subbed by BNS :)

Ah yes, I'll look at them too..
Thanks for the reference..^^
