cake_at_3am . Thanks to all for your hard work! ^_^"In every Japanese convenience store are special sections devoted to men’s cosmetics, eyebrow shapers, packets of disposable wipes for dealing with sweat and body odor, skin whitener. The herbivores may not buy beer and cars but they spend on keeping themselves odourless, hairless and pale. Their clothes come from cheap, fashionable chains such as Uniqlo. This week, Shinya Yamaguchi, 23, a fashion designer, launches his latest collection of skirts and lacy tops — all aimed at men. Many of Japan’s younger male celebrities, bands such as Arashi and actors like Eita, Teppei Koike and Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, project an effeminate, herbivorous look."

Johnny-san would have a fit if he were to see his bands being sidelined by K/T bands...More pics and a simple translation on my LJ.
Please note I have included Arashi / JE bits only.
Do yourself a favor if you'd like to read the complete article.
Buy the mag at a mere fraction of the prices of those Japanese mags we love so much!

Hence, to stay evergreen, it would help if they were ( More pics and trans ^^ )While its good to possess a skill, knowing it all is the way to go!
At any one time 30% of JE's talent are involed in variety shows, as well as CMs, and 1 in 3 drama every season would indubitably ( More pics and trans ^^ )( More pics and trans ^^ )SM Entertainment and JYP are deemed to be their equivalent in South Korea. SM, which stands for Star Musuem, has rolled out such acts as BoA, Super Junior, DBSK (THSK), Shinhwa etc. Whilst ( More pics and trans ^^ )Their setups are similar to JE in that they groom their talent from avery tender age.
