The HEXAGON-thread (Yuusuke's 'Himawari' out 3/11!)

aleyna · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2008 3:40 pm

Extremely popular quiz show 「クイズ！ヘキサゴンII」 [Hexagon II] started a storm in the Japanese entertainment industry in early 2008.
The popularity of especially the baka-idols, members of 羞恥心 [Shuuchishin] and Pabo, was explosive.
The regular members from the show have teamed up as various units and released not only numerous singles but also a hit-album 「We Love ヘキサゴン」 We Love Hexagon and held a full-length concert (details here) in October 2008.

NEWS:
- 11.03 Kamiji Yuusuke debuts solo under the name Yuusuke with the song "Himawari". It is also the theme for FujiTV's upcoming drama-special about Kamiji's life (「上地雄輔物語」, Kamiji Yuusuke Monogatari). All the lyrics in the three songs in the single are written by him.
- Shuuchishin as a music group went on an indefinite hiatus starting January the 2nd, 2009. They will use the group name and appear both together and individually in various activities, but are putting their music activities on hold.

I don't see this thread lasting too long, since they'll probably only release this single and maybe a collaboration single with their sister group pabo..

I don't like the song at all, but Nokubo is really hot. :fear:

They get a crazy amount of comments on their blogs.

The song is SO good! It totally deserves #1 over ''Mirrocle World''

Plus they're totally hot omg!

Can this be a Kamiji praise thread also? :lol:

Might as well just make it a Quix Hexagon groups thread and add Pabo to it too.

That "Don mai~" part gets me everytime.

This is the song everyone's so crazy about?

I saw that performance when I staid up to see Ayu perform MW, didn't understood what was going on when them and that girl group with the ugly dresses performed, it seem like a joke xD. I don't understand how anyone liked them :lol:

and I like asian men and none of them are hot :sad:

You say you don't understand why they're popular. I say the reasons are such and such.

So if I say, I don't understand why you thought that was a question, will you give me an answer? :lol:

Again, I don't understand why anyone could like ~that~ (the whole product lol) (~in an expression kind of way~)
