Also known as "The World God Only Knows (神のみぞ知るセカイ)". I've read this manga since last November. Although first this manga isn't really popular, but now it's well known amongst the otaku. This manga tells about a boy named Katsuragi Keima. Katsuragi Keima is known on the net at the Capturing God, while in real life he is an otamegane who hates all real girls. However he is approached by Elsee, a devil from hell, to help her in catching runaway spirits that hide in people. Apparently the spirits only hide in the hearts of girls and the only way to get the souls out is by making the girl fall in love so the spirit gets forced out. Keima must capture all the spirits in the world so that his contract with hell ends.
Till now there have been 60 chapters authored by Wakaki Tamiki. I suggest this manga when you fell bored or if you need a new read that interesting but doesn't need much thinking over when read it.


Ayumi Hamasaki's 46th single, "Sunrise / Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~," was released last week. With over 75,000 copies sold, it ranked #1 on the sales charts, becoming her 21st consecutive (33rd total) number-one single. Overall, it is also her 44th single to enter the Top 10, putting her ahead of Southern All Stars, SMAP, ZARD, and B'z for the current record.

At #2 was Morning Musume with their latest song, "Nanchatte Renai," selling 55,000 copies. The rest of the top ten included GACKT (#4), supercell (#5), Toshihiko Takamizawa (#6), a new "K-On!" character single (#9), and Motohiro Hata (#10).

On the albums chart, Kobukuro remained at #1 for the second week in a row, but Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi ranked highest out of the new releases with 72,000 copies of "FRIENDS" at #2. Crazy Ken Band (#4) and Kaori Mochida (#9) also made the top ten.

HOME MADE 家族

HOME MADE KAZOKU (Home Made 家族, translated in English as Home Made Family) is a Japanese hip hop trio signed to Ki/oon Records, a subsidiary of Sony Records.
Home Made Kazoku is a three member band consisting of members Micro, Kuro and founding member, DJ U-Ichi. The band was originally created in 1996 under a different name and went through many members before finally settling on being a trio with the name Home Made Kazoku in 2001. From 2001 to 2003, the band performed independently in various Nagoya nightclubs. In early 2004, the band was chosen to be part of a country-wide tour known as the Japan Club Tour. During the tour, the trio gained many fans from their club performances as well as finally being signed to a major label, Ki/oon Records.
Shortly after being signed, the group released a mini-album containing the song "Home Sweet Home (Reborn)". The song became wildly popular and went on to become one of the most requested songs of Japanese radio stations for the year. In July of the same year, their first single, Summer Time Magic, was released and sat at a comfortable 15th on the Oricon charts for nearly 10 weeks. After a series of singles, including Thank You!!, which was used as the second ending theme to the popular anime Bleach and Shōnen Heart, which was used as an opening theme to the anime Eureka Seven, the band's first full length album was released. "Rock the World" entered the Oricon charts and peaked at 5th in its first week. It would stay in the top 20 for the next two months and end up selling 191,744 copies as well as becoming the 78th best selling album of 2005, a sign of the band's new found popularity.
After their first album, the group went on a series of tours and released a string of singles as well as their second and third albums, "Musication" and "Familia". Of special note, tickets to their second tour were sold out within the span of one hour, a record in Japanese music. In January 2007, it was announced that they would perform the first ending theme to the anime Naruto: Shippūden entitled Nagareboshi (Shooting Star) which entered the Oricon charts at 10th place. One of the group, Micro, was featured on the abingdon boys school song "Lost Reason" as it appeared on their self-titled album. Home Made Kazoku has performed for a promotional commercial for a product called "Walky Walky" with their song "Easy Walk". It was also announced that their new single NO RAIN NO RAINBOW will be used as the movie theme for the second Naruto Shippūden Movie which will be out on the 2nd of August 2008.

My fav song of this group is "Arigatou~Thank You!", "Come Back Home", "Shounen Hearts", "Nagareboshi", "No Rain No Rainbow"

KAT-TUN

ok i've heard one of their song, "Rescue". "White Xmas" is not bad either. Well although boys band aren't my favorite but this KAT-TUN's not really bad
KAT-TUN made up of six men
* Kamenashi Kazuya, 亀梨和也, (born February 23, 1986)
* Akanishi Jin, 赤西仁, (born July 4, 1984)
* Taguchi Junnosuke, 田口淳之介, (born November 29, 1985)
* Tanaka Koki, 田中聖, (born November 5, 1985)
* Ueda Tatsuya, 上田竜也, (born October 4, 1983)
* Nakamaru Yuichi, 中丸雄一, (born September 4, 1983)
The group's name is an acronym formed by the members' surname initials. And what's more, all of them are Japanese (not Korean as we all know, boys band are always come from Korea)
KAT-TUN not only sings and dances, but the members also act and star in commercials. They are one of the most popular talent idol groups in Japan at the moment, and have released a debut CD, setting records in album sales.

Well i give them 4 out of 5 for a boys band. Keep up the good work KAT-TUN!
