SPEED gets back together
Wed, August 20, 2008 (1:32am EDT)
The group debuted in 1996 but broke up in 2000, at the height of their popularity, in order to pursue solo careers. They had two short-lived reunions in 2001 and in 2003. However, this time is said to be a complete return, with plans extending beyond 2009.
The decision to reunite started with this year's "24 Hour Television." SPEED previously hosted the program back in 1999, when they first met a young girl named Yui Nojiri who was battling spinal muscular atrophy. Last year, Nojiri reached her 20th birthday, and NTV producers decided to bring her and SPEED back for this year's show.
After learning about the idea, SPEED member Eriko Imai revealed that her own 3-year-old son is having hearing problems. Motivated to reach her son through song and to provide inspiration for other young children, she asked the other SPEED members to join her.
For "24 Hour Television," the group is scheduled to perform a 25-minute set at the Nippon Budokan on the afternoon of August 31. They plan to stay together for the time being, aiming to keep SPEED alive for at least 2009.

Hi!!!
Anybody got a nice scans of the limited editions? I found the KnoMe scans but they are dirty...
I hope Oricon will update today with great news of the sales ^^V
btw.. the latest Shukudai was nice. Sho seems to enjoy being made fun of. Gosh.. I love him so ♥. I love the way Nino dotes over Leader. Jun was UBER cute. I wish he'll get a drama where he'll be really adorable and a kissing monster. Aiba is Aiba (he wasn't the focus so can't remember about him much ^^;;;). Satoshi.. I worry too much about him. I guess this was shot in his thinnest stage right around that horrendous week. He's still cute but.. call me stupid or whatever.. I feel that thinge of forlorn. Everything was soft and fuzzy around him. His giggles, smile and laugh seems heartbreaking. Thank God for the smiling, overly tanned face we get to see on Music Station Live.
health update:
umm.. still feverish ^^;;;
When i met or got to know Jun..he was 22 too...so almost 3 years passed! And...now already 20th (yes when truth and kaze are released xD) is my bday! xD
I love the number 22 xD
Just past 48 minutes from 00:00 and already many messages, from my best friend so touching and texting about Japanese boys XD, from new friends i made last month (was totally unexpected O.O), from my colleages (who i love <3), bf (already gave me 2 of his 3 presents xD), dad (just came from work), and my fav aunt whose bday is today too *__*
I don't mind presents, but when a person remembers u in ur bday, honestly i love that the most, u celebrate that u're alive, and that's the best.
Well..i already have some presents! My lappy (dad bought it to me in june <3), a cute pink underwear from my mom (plus money to celebrate my bday this saturday, and to buy the new arashi's photobook xD), and...from my bf...
Hehe i love my arashi con sneakers xDDDDD I can go with them to there and throw it to Sho-kun if he loose one xDD
<3
Feel loved is the best XD *touched*
Nianna is moderately outgoing. Her emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, she can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. She has the ability to put herself into the other person's shoes.
So I can be a very nice person??? yeah, right XDD
Nianna will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes she will be happy, the next day she might be sad. She has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because she is in between. Psychology calls Nianna an ambivert. She understands the needs of both types. Although they get along, she will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." She doesn't sway too far one way or the other.
Somehow ambivert sounds like an illness... *Oh, no I've got ambivertyasis!!* XDDD
When convincing her to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to her. She puts herself in the same situation as the person in the story, yet she will not buy anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. Nianna is an expressive person. She outwardly shows her emotions. She may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story.
and this is why I bought the first HSJ single... ^^UU
Nianna is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. She weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, and then will decide when she finally has to. She basically doesn't relate to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue.
People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Nianna doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.
Nianna will demand respect and will expect others to treat her with honor and dignity. Nianna believes in her ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. She has a lot of pride.
ohhhh yeah!!!
Nianna will be candid and direct when expressing her opinion. She will tell them what she thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want her opinion, don't ask for it!
understood??? also, being mean if fun!!! ne, Naruse-san??? XDDD
Nianna has a desire for attention. People around Nianna will notice this need. She may fulfill this need by a variety of ways depending on her own character.
look at me!! look at me!!! look at me!!! *meh, it doesn't work XDD*
In reference to Nianna's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When Nianna slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project.
She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Nianna can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.
Nianna is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. She needs to visualize the end of a project before she starts. she finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said she plans everything she is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Nianna basically feels good about herself. She has a positive self-esteem which contributes to her success. She feels she has the ability to achieve anything she sets her mind to. However, she sets her goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". She has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, she will not take great risks, as they relate to her goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, her self-perception is better than average.
Nianna is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect her ego when she feels hurt. She pokes people harder than she gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.
*Pokes* XDDD
Nianna has a healthy imagination and displays a fair amount of trust. She lets new people into her circle of friends. She uses her imagination to understand new ideas, things, and people.
I doubt the "healthy" part XDD
For a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward their own world and relationship to things in his or her own space. If the inputted data was correct Nianna has left lots of white space on the left side of the paper. Nianna fills up the rest of the page in a normal fashion. If this is true, then Nianna has a healthy relationship to the past and is ready to move on. The right side of the page represents the future and Nianna is ready and willing to get started living now and planning for the future. Nianna would like to leave the past behind and move on.
this is soooo wrong!!!
