A first step...

A few weeks ago when KAT-TUN was at the Nisei Week parade I wished they'd come to Europe or Germany one day.
Looks like my prayers were answered somewhat...
*lol*

The German Magazine (Fanzine) "Koneko" has printed an article about "Johnny's Jimusho" in its "J*Beat" section. You can look at the scans here:

Basically the article is about the history of JE ("Der Weg zum Erfolg" - The road to success), founding and the process over the years as well as the major groups.
There is also a short bit about Johnny's Junior and at the end a funny little bit about the do's and don't's in JE ("Regeln: Was Johnny's dürfen - und was night" - Rules: What Johnny's are allowed to do - and they're not allowed to do) - there is a short passage about Uchi in this bit!

If you want a more detailed translation drop me a comment and I'll put one up. ^o^

Cool!
Maybe they will come to Europe, not likely that they'll come to Finland though... But we can always hope!!! XD

It'd be fun to read the whole thing. If you don't want to translate it you could put up the german version... *imagines that she can use her poor german skills...*

Anyway, thanks for the scans!

wOOT!!!
I think I actually understand some of it...
Totally random.. Ignore this...

I don't think the people in the SMAP picture are even Japanese!! They're certainly not SMAP, that's for sure.

I think it's one of the Korean boy bands...

so you noticed that too... it's DBSK (korean boysband like you said ^^)
besides these guys are definately too young like for SMAP XP

[naniwa-elle.livejournal.com]

Yeah, before I looked at the picture I was like, 'that picture looks too recent (because of the image quality) for them to be that young...*resize* Hey, that ain't SMAP! They look Korean though...' But I have no knowledge of Korean boybands other than having heard OF Shinwa(?). I wouldn't be able to name any by sight though.

Silly German magazine, at least get the country of origin right!

I noticed that as well...
German Magazines sometimes make mistakes like that
>.<
Well...the "mainstream" ones do anyway...
Nothing against the magazines but...it happens A LOT...
This actually isn't my mag but my friend's (he's a Tacky FANBOY)...
And Oh man...in school...

PP-chan: Those guys, SMAP, are sooooo cool!! *points at the picture*
Me: *raises eyebrow* ... Dude...that ain't SMAP...
Lani-chan: *starts singing* Baby BANG BANG BANG
Me: That's SMAP, yes *gg*
PP-chan: Hime-chan has soooo many pictures of them!!!
Me: *thinking: "Hime is fan of Korean boybands...she doesn't even KNOW who SMAP is you baka...but...well, I'll just let you believe that for now...*

I mean...I recognize JE bands ^^;;; but I didn't point it out in the post because...I was in a hurry to post the pics and a rough translation.

Yeah, same for me...
I don't do "mainstream" magazines...but since my friend (fanboy-chan) pointed it out to me...

PP-chan: Oh mein Gott! Das musst du sehen! Johnny's sind in der Koneko!!!
Ich: Was zum Geier ist die Koneko???
PP-chan: *fanboys*
Ich: ... *drop*

The Koneko just came out so it should still be available...
