Happy, happy, happy thing

[guingel]

OK, so that thing that made you happy that day meme that's going around? I might not do it for real but I'm going to do it for yesterday. (if anyone hasn't seen it. "The rules are that for 8 days you have to post something that made you happy that day. (8 for Eito.)")

What made me happy yesterday?

Finding pictures from the DxD photobook!

Heck, I could say "finding out that there is a DxD photobook." The other day I was google searching "guingel" (part curiosity, part security) and apparently I've been given photo credits at a Thai forum, Popcornfor2. Pictures that I used in the pimp post, not any I'd scanned (since I still haven't uploaded those or finished scanning). Anyway, I ended up going through the last 50 pages of the forum (so far) and I found a lot of pretty spectacular photos (very Nagase-centric, which is TOTALLY COOL WITH ME). And a couple of other AMAZING things which I will share this evening. :D

And the DxD photobook is just incredible. (Click for full-size!)



The tiny suit!! The heights! I die.







I just don't believe how cute they are, and how hilarious it is to have them playing basketball against each other.



Um. They got a tiny child. She's taller than Okada. :D




The following are not from the photobook, and mostly not from DxD but oh holy god. XD





:D Geeeeeeeniuses have these two work together. Also Nagase's hair is majestic.



So pretty! So cute! I think this picture is, like, the definition of gratuitous.



This picture has me in stitches. It's so funny in so many ways. The combination of the three of them is already hilarious, and then the look on Go's face and the fact that Nagase must be on his knees. . .





I could not even have imagined a picture as hilarious as this one.



And back to our original theme: height difference. :D

AHAHAHA THAT LAST PICTURE! SITTING DOWN HE IS STILL TALLER THAN OKADA!

[guingel.livejournal.com]

It's the complete lack of subtlety that cracks me up. "Um. . . Maybe we could have Nagase sit down?" They should put Okada in the foreground like in LOTR. Ahh, those tiny, tiny legs. :D

[darkeyedwolf.livejournal.com]

Or more piggyback rides. That's another subtle way to handle it.

[guingel.livejournal.com]

I am 100% in favor of that. XD With Nagase's feet dragging on the ground.

[ohmiya-sg.livejournal.com]

HAH! That red one. Leader! XD

...So what's DxD? :x

[guingel.livejournal.com]

I love his girly glasses. XD Everything about him confirms my suspicions that he's a 50-year-old woman.

!!!!!!! DxD is a drama that Nagase and Okada did together. In 1997. They team up and fight supernatural crime. It is terrible and the special effects are beyond belief. But my god, it is incredible. It was Okada's first drama and he was SO FUCKING TINY and just blows my mind and as you can see, Nagase was in full hair mode. Only the first episode has been subbed. . . I don't have the link on me or anything, I'm afraid. darkeyedwolf might have more information at her fingertips on this one. I can't even think of what else might be relevant to say. . . DxD is. . . DxD!!

...I'm laughing so hard right now that no sound is coming out. I'll have to ask her for links later. XD

[guingel.livejournal.com]

. . . Anonymous comment below this one has links. XD Lately every single time I've posted a non-locked entry, I've gotten an anonymous comment, I think. This is getting odd.

[ohmiya-sg.livejournal.com]

Wierd... I have anonymous disabled, so I don't get that...

[(Anonymous)]

actually they've subbed up to episode 3:

Ahaha, you are so awesome. The red one killed me!

[ayamachi.livejournal.com]

And I swear I left the comment about you being short before I saw this entry. XD

[guingel.livejournal.com]

Hey, I am totally cool with being Okada-esque. Especially if it means I get to team up with Nagase and fight ghosts. ::pervs at young Nagase and Okada::

I just noticed that Taichi appears to have some sort of fake tattoo situation in the red one? Makes it even more beautiful!

[ayamachi.livejournal.com]

Are you also eerily perfect at everything you do? Do short people get crazy secret powers I don't know about?

The fake tattoo had me dead! Trying to look all hardcore.. with his cowboy hat. Oh Taichi.

[guingel.livejournal.com]

Yes. It is our compensation for not being able to reach tall shelves or see things in crowds. We can fit our legs into airplane seats, and we get superpowers. It's why I'm such a good athlete, singer, and dancer! :D

[ayamachi.livejournal.com]

...Japan suddenly makes sense!

[shimmeredusk.livejournal.com]

I really love the long-haired Nagase era~ he's so hot!! *_* One day I want to watch DxD as well :(

I also find it hilarious that Taichi has long hair XD

[guingel.livejournal.com]

I knoooooooow! It's so shiny and flowy and shiny! And he's all "fwoosh!fwoosh!" (sound effect of hair being flipped around)

Taichi with long hair kills me. XD There was a period where Taichi, Nagase, Koichi, KimuTaku and possibly also Matchy all had the same shoulder-length hair. I call them hair twins even though there's four or five of them (cos twins are awesome)!

[shimmeredusk.livejournal.com]

THE SOUND EFFECTS WERE TOTALLY NECESSARY. I wish he would do it again, just to see what it's like XD

Omg they really are hair twins!! But Taichi with long hair just looks like ... a mess, where as the others are all straight and shiny XDDDDDD

[guingel.livejournal.com]

Watch the J-Friends Children's Holiday performance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zuYmpmLBMw). Especially 3:30 to 3:32. :D

At one point Taichi did have the smooth, shiny hair too. XD Not sure what happened to it in the picture above! I think you can kind of see it in the Love & Peace PV. . . and sort of in Ko No Yubi Tomare. Possibly Julia, I don't have any screencaps at my fingertips. XD

[tomo-naki.livejournal.com]

Hey! Snagging most of the pictures.
Hahaha..
Most of them are not the same as the DxD photobook I found scattered across the net.

Ahhhh.. the days..

[guingel.livejournal.com]

Oooo, you have other DxD pictures? I'd love to see them!! :D

[tomo-naki.livejournal.com]

Hnnn. I dunno if you've not seen them before..
I got it off d-addicts, if I remember correctly.

Also, not the greatest quality.
I uploaded it for you..

[guingel.livejournal.com]

Wow, thank you!! I had not seen these - although some of them seem to be full versions of the pictures that are tiny in some of the images I found. So awesome! Thank you very much. :D

[tomo-naki.livejournal.com]

you're very welcome~

it was my pleasure.
