There are some candid photos of Fightstar (and Camilla) on xposurephotos.com. Awwwwww they are so cute!! It looks that Charlie and Dan are a lovely couple, doesn' it?

Anyway, I prefer Dan/Omar instead Dan/Charlie although these pics are cute. *haha* I imajin Omar could be mature and gentle as a boyfriend. He could save my beautiful Dan.

Oh, Dan in this pic is so adorable. That's ashame I can't get untagged one.

Talking about music, I luckily got Fightstar's EP couple of weeks ago. It's wicked. I'm not familiar with emo stuff, though. I really enjoy listening it. I was too scared to listen before, but there's nothing worried about.

Oh, I haven't updated my journal for ages. I've been busy at part-time work and searching a new stable job. I also have a blog in Japanese. There are loads of my obsession for pop music/boybands. I'd say that to make sure, the blog is written in Japanese. Then, someone who is from England has left a comment like below.

Chalin
Busted SUCK!!!!!1
What the hell?! Come on, they’re the worst thing to ever to come out of my country (England)
They’re a bunch of wannabes who sing in shit American accents! Their songs are all the same, boring shite!
Please, I apologize on behalf of my country for Busted - they are awful.
Blazin’ Squad is the second worst thing to come out of England!
Why are you buying all the pure shit my country is coming out with? Are you mad?
There’s an ocean between you and Blazin’ Squad and Busted - why the hell would you want to listen to their shite!?
I don’t know where you come from, but try something GOOD from England.
Like Muse, Travis, Coldplay, Idlewild, Hundred Reasons ANYONE other than Blazin’ Squad or Busted!
:-X !

I think that she's pathetic. I'm sorry if she did that as a favor or tried to let me know how is a real music like. haha

America or Busted Episode 5

Wed, 02 Feb 2005 17:13:06 GMT

I think that today was quite nice Wednesday.

I went to my local HMV to pre-order Attitude which has Charlie on the cover. They'll ring me if the mag is available.

V's DVD single Hip To Hip has finally arrived.

Watched America or Busted Episode 5...
How happy I was when I watched Charlie & Matt were at Kurt Cobain's house.
I can't believe that there is only an episode to be on-air.

Now I'm pleased because I've found this article on TOTP website.

Matt 4 Charlie
Matt Busted has taken a break from whining about the pop punksters splitting up - to sing the praises of deserter Charlie's new band Fight Star.
Matt told the Daily Star (funny how James manages to avoid the hacks) all about his love for Charlie's boys. He said: "His band kick ass. I've heard his EP and it's fantastic. I went to his first gig, his second, his third and his fourth." Yeah Matt, we get the picture.
Matt wasn't done there though. He added: "At the end of the day he is one of my best friends and I wish him well because I can see how happy he is."
And that, good people of pop, is a true friend. Take heed, Gallaghers!

America or Busted Episode 4

Wed, 26 Jan 2005 17:17:41 GMT

Today's highlight:
I must say lovely, lovely and lovely Jaybourne's ‘horse-riding date’. I don't know why but I felt very excited when they were at the changing room to put their tacky cowboy outfit on.

random: one of my dictionary says that cowboy means gay. i don't mean something special, though.

Watched America or Busted episode 3.
Jaywick spanking with the book made me pleased. I didn't think that Charlie was a such type of guy. And I love the scene that they spilt ketchup and mustard over each other at the cafe.

By the way, I checked those episode summaries out on mtv.com. Does anyone choose these pics who loves Jaywick? I'm wondering.

Wed, 19 Jan 2005 12:48:13 GMT

Heeeeeeeee-haw!!
Now I'm 100% OK! My Cry-For-Busted mood has been already removed.
Here's a reason. 'Tis awesome, good for you to have a laugh.

I love this bit so much.
“A bit like BBMak?”
“Yeah - exactly like BBMak.”
“No thanks.”
I heard that James and Matt were busking some BBMak song before the record deal. And they got to thrown out of the tube station.

I'm sure that I'm going to support what James, Matt and Charlie going to do.
Even if there'll be the reunion of Skandal with Matt and Champagne Highway 2005. Er... joking. But never say never.

I'm always wondering why does Prestige keep the totally failed boyband's website.

America or Busted episode 3 will be on TV in fifteen minutes. I'm too sleepy to watch it. Then I'll tape it.

Mon, 17 Jan 2005 14:01:38 GMT

What I bought today
■ tvhits! Feb 05 #186
■ top of the pops issue 119
■ it's HOT! issue 34 Jan 11- Feb 7 2005
■ smashhits! Jan 7 - Jan 18, 2005
■ KERRANG! issue No 1038 January 08 2005

I know that I spent too much money for those mags. It's nearly 3,000 Yen (Which means £15 or $30). Because I'm still confused. I haven't got a clue to sort out feelings.
Well, James' interview on tvhits! is mostly funny, except for this line.

Charlie has his own side band, Fightstar, but he doesn't prefer it to Busted. It's nice to have sidelines. It keeps us interested in Busted even more.

And I read a Japanese mag INROCK. There's a gig review for Busted at Wembley in December. The article was wrote by British journalist who is quite critical. He's been a special correspondent for ages. It says like...

James and Matt were funny. They smiled, pulled faces like weirdo and cracked some joke. But Charlie didn't smile. It seemed that he stuck with being a proper musician. Will we able to see his smile on next tour?

The official Japanese site of Busted finally has updated The split. They e-mailed fans as well. All Japanese fans are totally shocked.
I can't believe that MTVJapan.com didn't mention their split although they broadcast America or Busted.

Now I should go back to my paper. I have to turn it in on Wednesday. It would be horrible if I can't graduate.

Busted Hearts All Round as Boy Band Breaks Up
By Sherna Noah and Anita Singh, PA.
taken from http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=4001861
--------------------

Boy band Busted broke fans’ hearts today by announcing they have split.
The group called it a day after Charlie Simpson decided to leave.
The other two members, Matt Jay and James Bourne, admitted they were “devastated” by his decision.
The band called a press conference in London to break the news to fans.
“There has been a lot of speculation in the last month about the future of the band. It’s only fair to the fans to set the record straight now,” Simpson said.
“With that in mind, I’m here to tell you I’ve quit Busted..
Simpson, 19, said he wanted to devote his energies to his new rock group Fightstar.
“I thought it was time for me to pursue other musical interests.
“I’ve always thought if I’m going to do something, I’ve got to put 100% into it and I didn’t want to do two things at once,” he said, adding it had been “a difficult decision to make”.
He denied that the trio have barely spoken to each other since their final gig at Wembley last month, or that he was embarrassed about being in a teen pop band.
“I’d like to quash those rumours. I’ve had the most amazing three years,” Simpson said. His bandmates were “two of my best friends”.
Simpson sat in between the other two at the press conference in a five star hotel in central London.
The former public schoolboy was recruited to the band by Jay and Bourne, who have been friends for years.
Heartbroken fans have besieged the message board on the Busted website branding Simpson “selfish” and “heartless” for deciding to quit.
He shrugged: “If our fans are angry then I understand..
Jay and Bourne, both 21, were clearly upset by the split.
“I’m devastated that Charlie has chosen to quit Busted, but I have to respect his decision and I fully support him and wish him all the best for the future,” Bourne said.
“I would like to say a personal thank you to all the fans who have made the last three years the best years of my life. I’ll remember these years forever..
Jay added: “We’ve always had this understanding between the three of us that if one of us left, we’d all call it quits.
“It’s sad that Charlie feels the way he does, but we respect his decision. No one has begged anyone to stay, that would just be kidding ourselves.
“We’re not going to carry on because Busted needs to be remembered the way Busted was.
“We don’t want to carry on and be a shadow of our former selves, that’s the last thing we wanted. We’ve had the most amazing three years, we are super thankful and we wanted to end on a high..
The band said the decision to quit was only made last night despite months of speculation in the press.
Jay and Bourne plan to continue in the music industry.
“We’re only 21 so we’re not going to retire,” Bourne said. “You can’t retire when you’re 21, that’s just ridiculous. You would be so bored..
And the band did not rule out a reunion.
“Never say never,” Jay said. “If we’re all skint with seven kids when we’re 25, then maybe. Or you might see us on some revival reality TV show..
After the press conference, Jay was so upset he left the hotel in tears.
He and Simpson hugged before Simpson drove off alone.
It was left to a red-eyed Jay to console the group of 25 distraught fans standing outside.
He embraced several of the teenage girls as he wiped tears from his eyes and told them: “Thank you for everything.”

He and Simpson hugged before Simpson drove off alone.

Jaywick is love. If it had happen in slash fic it would be passionate kisses.

Thank you scotsman.com for making me ease.

*EDIT* Here is a proof.

I can't sleep...

You Are 23 Years Old

23

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Phewwwww twenty-three, it almost matches my real age.

Fri, 14 Jan 2005 16:18:04 GMT

Let me know it's not true...
Was there only a fifteen-minute long press conference? That's not enough. I'd like to know more.

I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope it's over when I open them

Quoted Everclear's song Wonderful

I'm actually crying. I know it's stupid to get upset like this for just a band. I'm 25 and crying for Busted splitting up. Huh, any objection?

I saw some photos at the press conference. It hurts. I couldn't stand to see it. Because James looked so painful, but charlie, he looked pleased, confident and satisfied. How ironic? There were three. One was really happy but two weren't.
I don't mean that I blame at Charlie. I even feel sad to read the official Busted message board. There's a bunch of nasty messages for him. You should respect his decision.

By the way, they left four episodes of America or Busted for Japanese fans. What feelings shall I have to watch it?

It's been 699 days since when I got the first Busted Album through amazon.co.uk.
I can't find the words what I feel yet.

Just say thank you guys, James, Matt and Charlie.

Wed, 12 Jan 2005 15:17:56 GMT

I've just watched America or Busted Episode 2. Yeah, it finally started last week in Japan.
There's a bunch of Jaybourne. *blushes* I was embarrassed to see that Matt and James were watching porn and wondering there's nothing to happen something dirrrrty.

I reckon my favorite moment is where they were at the rooftop. I wanted to chant like “Guys, get a little bit closer! Then kiss each other!!”
Of course, I didn't miss that Charlie put an egg in Matt’s soup. And I love Jaywick on the boat at photo shoot. How close were they!

Wed, 08 Dec 2004 16:53:18 GMT

I watched a clip from America or Busted and capped them as usual.
Oh, they enjoyed some pervy spankings. Is it allowed to be on TV? LOL
My fave is the 5th one.

Er, seriously I don't think America or Busted works well in US. I can't find the word BUSTED on any charts. Such as R&R and Billboard. Not even Radio Disney. I know that they don't want to be marketed for kiddy music.
However, Yellowcard and Bowling For Soup have been on Radio Disney top 30. Their music is kinda close to Busted's. It's Rock and Pop.
It would be impossible to break in US if they avoid Teeny pop market.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

America or Busted is being aired in Japan. The show starts at 11pm on 5th January 2005.
Taken from mtvjapan.com
I have to apologize to them for being rude.

I can't believe that I'll be able to see bunch of Jaywick-y moments on TV screen. Revolving door, playing with their food and the stuff.
mmm... Should I get a DVD recorder?

America or Busted Ep2

Fri, 03 Dec 2004 17:37:01 GMT

I watched Highlights of Ep2 on MTV.com and made some caps. I found Jaywick-y moment on it.

How cute, aren't they? Although they are blur.
They remind me two kids in the family I boarded at. Actually, the boys were two and four years old. And their dad always said ‘disgusting!’ as same as Fletch.

I've ordered Japanese Busted Live DVD at Amazon.co.jp. I have to wait about twenty days. Grrrrrr

America or Busted

Tue, 30 Nov 2004 07:29:30 GMT

Annoying. Useless MTV Japan don't air America or Busted. I haven't got a clue that they're trying to.
I've downloaded and watched part of the show though. There's a problem that I don't understand English without subtitles. Grrrr… I didn't know that they speak so fast. Charlie and Matt swear quite a lot is bothering me. I don't mean that being rude. Too much Beep!s disturb me.
I've just understood that my listening comprehension is rubbish ―WRONG― That's the thing I've already knew.

At least I was happy with these scenes.

I think Matt and Charlie were closer than Charlie and James (on the right of him).

Especially “the revolving door” moment

I know that I'm stupid

Sat, 06 Nov 2004 17:21:10 GMT

They could be matching outfits.

I got an issue 116 of TOTP

Thu, 21 Oct 2004 14:26:32 GMT

'Tis from the mag.

If someone says “I love you” and you don't wanna reply, what do you do?
Matt: If it was a girl, I'd probably pussy out and say, ‘I love you too.’

What do you do if it was a boy, Mattie?

Busted Tour book

Fri, 15 Oct 2004 16:37:34 GMT

Even this pic could be slashy in my mind.
I just can't get JayWick out of my head at work.

Mon, 11 Oct 2004 13:49:04 GMT

This is my first journal which is an experiment for my English writing skill. It's kind of spam filled up slash stuff.

I've been obsessed with one thought. It's nonsence.
Matt mentioned that he has a flatmate called Rob on the tourbook ('04 A ticket for everyone).
Er, my thought is ... could he be his boyfriend? - How stupid.

I don't know actually who he is. But I saw the pic that seemed to be him. I saw it on Sneak mag that titled Punk Shopper in March. Matt was flat-hunting with his "mate".
I thought he was Rob standing next to Matt.

(thanks for scanning: Lilpippi from Msn group I Love Matt Jay)

I told it my mate who loves BourneWick and knows that I'm JayWick-freak. One day, she talked to her mate (not me) that Charlie did not deserve being Matt's boyfriend. She also says that her mate is sure Matt is gay. She thinks he's going to come out pretty soon. I hope so. *giggles*
They made out that he looks selfish and immature and his ideal boyfriend is someone mature and gentle.
I agree with them a little. But I DO NOT give in. Haha!!
And then, I send the pic on Sneak to her. She said "Oh, Rob is quite fit." She likes him as Matt's boyfriend.

I still believe JayWick is love.
