[Guest KanJi]

Woahhhhh .... Soompi's brand-spankin new! lol.

Uhhh "Kindaichi" ... we're working on it? I never know if I can bring that up outside of PBF ... I always get this paranoia of exclusivity, so, if I'm not supposed to talk about it, kick me, lol.

Everyone go watch "Anego", too! Jin's REALLY cute in it. And it JUST started getting interesting. Subs have been released up to episode 04 so far~

[Guest DivineX]

hee.. yah, i finished watching Anego, it's nice too~ Jin looks great in suits ^^

anyway, heard that there will be a new series of Kindaichi Shounen Jikenbo with Kamenashi Kazuya as Kindaichi Hajime~ The viewship for the movie was 18.6% and hitting 20+% for the ending part, so he got to act in the series. weeeeee~~~~ will be looking forward to it! woohoooo~~ *cheers* Kame will be so busy, oh dear >_<
