Sure it's hosted by KinKi Kids, but it's far from being just a JE thing. It's my favorite variety show and has been since probably 2005 or 2006. I consider it one of those MUST-SEE Japanese variety/music shows, and I think everyone can find something to love.

HERE'S THE LOWDOWN:

Um...

Um...

WTF?????

If you're not sure what the Chicken Coats are: Those black coats with the hideously placed feathers that Kanjani8 wore for a year or two.

Yeah, they're hideous... But they're actually quite awesome. Follow the cut to see why (MANY pictures below cut). Also, please pardon the awful resolution of these caps. I tried my hardest to catch every member's coat in detail. The bad caps are from the Excite! Bonus material, and the more decent caps are from the concert itself.

( Birds of a feather...? )

BAD FF JOKE: So if I die, those coats can revive me, right? PHOENIX DOWN. *dead*

Ladies and gents, tell me your FAVORITES for the year!

( JE Year End Poll! )

Unlocked so you can invite your friends to vote. Please be fair and don't fish to get your favorite spammed. I just want to see what a smattering of people think.

Massive pre-move friend list cut.

I love you all dearly, but I can't keep up. If you want me to add you back, let me know.
