Tonight, I realized how futile fandom really can be.
You see, tonight (August 1 -> August 2), I was at the local Border’s for a whopping 4 and a half hours. Why? Because I was so-so-so convinced I wanted this new book. Perhaps you’ve heard of it: Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. However, while waiting for this book–and it’s midnight release–I realized: I had no real INTEREST in this book. I just really wanted to go to the release party because I missed the wonderful, marvelous Harry Potter midnight release parties at Border’s. (They were pretty hardcore)
Anyway, how does this relate to music? Well, because I tend to listen to certain songs while I read the damned Twilight series. Sometimes, it’s Morning Musume. And overtime, I’ve begun to associate idols with my favorite characters.
Without further adieu, let’s break dawn together.
The first character on our list is Bella Swan. She is the protagonist of the series, all 4 of it’s horribly written books, and she is probably the whiniest bitch ever.
In my mind, I equate her voice and image with, of all idols, Sugaya Risako. Who cares that Bella is a senior in high school and Risako is only… 14 or something? They’re attitudes aren’t really similar, either. But… For whatever reason, in my head, Bella sounds and resembles Risako. I occasionally now equate the Monkey Dance with the Vampires.
The second character on the list is Edward Cullen, the totally perfect vampire. For him, we need to travel to JOHNNY’S LAND. I steal my Vampire Boys from KAT-TUN, of course. Edward is Akanishi Jin. Why? The voice, perhaps. Or maybe the looks. Something like that. Edward is, interestingly enough, played in the movie by none other than Robert Pattison–Harry Potter fangirls, it’s true: Edward Cullen is a Hufflepuff (Pattison played Cedric Diggory in Goblet of Fire).
The third character is Alice Cullen, my personal favorite character. Alice is a flighty, happy, carefree vampire who sees the future. In my head? She’s totally played by… Tanaka Reina! Alice and Tanakacchi share a certain trait: STYLE. They’re both quite the fashionista in their respective fandoms. If only Reina cut her hair short…
Fourth on the list is Jacob Black, the werewolf who my bff loves and I don’t care for. He’s… a werewolf. He has a temper. He’s in love with Risako-Bella. Booooring. I equate him with Nishikido Ryo. Dunno why. Just… do.
My personal favorite male character is fifth–Jasper Hale. Jasper is AWESOME. He is a bonafide vampire. In my head, he’s played by Ueda Tatsuya. It’s just perfect that way.
Sixth is Rosalie Hale, the kinda bitchy vampire. She’s pretty though, and in my head, she’s played by a randomly blonde Takahashi Ai. Yeah, random, I know, but I need a Takitty to go against Tanakacchi.
Seventh is Emmett Cullen, played by Tanaka Koki. We move on because I don’t care.
Eighth is Carlisle Cullen, played by motherfucking Gackt. The voice is oh-so-perfect, and, well… come ON! GACKT!!!! How can he not be on a vampire-related list.
Ninth, and finally, is Esme Cullen, who is a very nice lady, played by Matsuura Aya, because Ayaya doesn’t do enough, and, quite frankly, Esme is so nice and pretty, I imagine she might play futsal too.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go read a crappy book before I remember I have work at noon tomorrow. Night night all.

THANK YOU. Thank you for bringing my “Club of People Who didn’t like Twilight” up to three members (You, myself and a friend of mine named Juliet). I’ve been suspicious of that book since the popular girls at my school who wear ten pounds of make-up and use the word “totally” and “like” after every word started reading it. I mean, these are girls who don’t pick up any book thicker than their pinkies. For them to actually read a book that long, it’s got to be horrifically sappy and very conventional.

Haha. Well, to be honest, I do quite enjoy the characters of Alice and Jasper from the series. I accidentally STARTED a Twilight trend at my own school, because, while the story is pretty good… The way it is written reminds me of a short story I wrote in the 7th grade. It’s pretty… horrific.
Edward is a Hufflepuff though. That always makes me laugh XD
