English translations for all but six of Akanishi’s KAT-TUN Manuals (excluding any special promotional entries) have been posted here. The rest will be done sometime this weekend. Or not. *fails*

Also, between 10:00pm and midnight (EST) tonight, the 26th, I’ll be upgrading Wordpress and playing with the layout a bit, so if you come here and find nothing but jarbled php code and a woman curled up in a corner whimpering… that’s why. Hopefully, I won’t break too much.

And done. The upgrade only broke one thing (my beloved breadcrumbs plugin… *sobs*). I’ll be tampering with the layout off and on all weekend, but nothing major enough to make the entire site implode.

It’s that time of year again: when thousands of Japan’s citizens cast their vote for the country’s best jeanists (i.e. the two people who look the best in jeans).

Yeah, I don’t get it either, but whatever.

For the third year in a row, Kamenashi Kazuya won this revered title by a landslide, beating his competition by over 4,000 votes. He was joined, again, by Koda Kumi, who was voted Best Female Jeanist for the third time. If the two continue winning this prestigious award for a couple more years, they’ll become “Eternal Best Jeanists” and be ineligible for the award.

Ok, kids! Here we go!

Welcome to my shiny, new, incomplete, (hopefully) useful JE fansite!

Have a look around, but please excuse the mess. I am but one person and I’m rather slow at this sort of thing, so there are still lots of 404s and unfinished pages.

This site has been extensively viewed and tested using Firefox (2.0 and up), but I have no idea what any of this looks like in other browsers. If you see anything really wonky, please let me know by leaving a comment or by emailing me (kiminokoe3000[at]gmail.com) and I’ll try to fix things.

Right now, this site will just feature KAT-TUN, but eventually I’ll add in Kanjani8 and News and maybe some others, so definitely look forward to that!

If you’d like to help out with the site in any way, again, comment somewhere or email me.
