FUDANJUKU 風男塾

Minna-sama, genki?

光 here and today I have so many cool things to tell you I don't know even where to start!! :D

I was tumblin' the other day when I came across rather quite unique pics. It was a male idol group in some Japanese music tv show. They were answering the question why they dress like boys and the boy who answered, later I found out he's name was Momotaro, said something like: "we started as  girls, but then we realized no girl group was performing as boys." (now, is that a reason to be a proffesional cross-dressed idol group that takes career seriously or WHAT!? :D)

 I immediately thought - holly shit that's some super-cool-weird-japanish stuff,  I have to find out more about them!

two days later >BAM!!< here I am, your 光-chan fangirling over bunch of girls dressed up as boys and they seriously do fire up the stage!~~ ow yeeea

so, voila~ meet the object of your new obsession:

FUDANJUKU

Now, at the begining let me introduce you to your new favorite boy group:

Fudanjuku (風男塾) is a Japanese pop group under Teichiku Entertainment Inc.. The group is formed by females, and it serves as the male alter-ego of the Nakano Fujo Sisters. They changed the official spelling of their name from 腐男塾 to 風男塾 in 2011 with the graduation of Shijuuin Yosuke. - See more at: http://www.generasia.com/wiki/Fudanjuku#sthash.tlSvbYEh.dpuf

group under Teichiku Entertainment Inc..

Group has 8 members and they work under Teichiku Ent. inc. and in Japan you spell the group's name like this: 風男塾 (you might want to remember this kanji since they are mostly still producing stuff for the national fandom, so all the stuff you google - better do it using Japanese).

Guys are incredebly cute, outgoing and since they are girls, quite relaxed behaving as guys.

Now, lucky for us foreign fans, Kawaii girl Japan has bunch of stuff about them, you can find many many interviews on youtube and at Tokyo hive as well, n they ALL HAVE SUBTITLES :D I know, right!? :))))

Most of the fans are girls ofc, and since you guys know I am terribly strict about music quality, you know I wouldn't be recommending this guys if their music wasn't seriously BADASS.

I'd be lying though if I'd say I didn't work my ass off tryng to download their music (but it was worth it). You can find most of the songs on youtube, but only if you search in Japanese. there are some pages like MyFreemp3 that have original songs, so try that too. Style is mostly pop, there is also rock, melodies are good and energetic and lyrics are simply touching and BEAUTIFUL

here is my first recommendation:

This song called Dansou revolution is one of my favs, it has beat, it has lyrics, it had melody and ofc you can tell these guys CAN SING. This MV also has a message, so watch it till the end and see what happens to the girl at the beginning ;)

Now, you might also want to meet the guys, so do search for interviews, I can just say my fav is Kojiro (oh, he just can't stop talking, and he's really good looking - dude has a style), You want to see Kouki too (I can see a bit of KAT-TUN's Kame in him, don't u think too? ;) ) and Momotaro who HAS to comment on everything xD --- I can tell you'll enjoy their personalities. Since there is no much pics on the Internet where u can relate faces and names I made one for you :):

I will be writing much more about these guys in the future as well, for now I just wanted to introduce this awesome guys and their beautiful songs to you.

Since it's the speed of light when it comes to me and digging up awesome Japanese songs xD I'll represent you the most beautiful song you will probably hear in a while. It's called Mugen no Procyon (the live of it is the vid above) and you can find it online only under the name 夢幻のプロキオン(in translation Dream of a Procyon).  
I worked my ass off trying to find out what the heck is PUROKION, and finally I found out it's a star (if you knew about it, please let me know in the comments, because I didn't and it is quite commonly used, so I'm kinda researching weather it's the star only Asia is well familiar with or am I just stupid ^.^;) 

I was sooooo enchanted by this song that I made translation of it (first one on the internet yey :D) so enjoy it, cause, yes, it was hard.

FUDANJUKU – MUGEN NO PUROKION (DREAM OF A PROCYON) LYRICS

ROMANJI LYRICS

Haruka kanata no PUROKION sore wa mukashi kara tsutawaru
Yume wo kanaete kureru hikari fuyu no sora kagayaiteru

Chiisai toki ni kiita otogibanashi
Ano hoshi wo tsukameba negai ga kanau to
Daremo ga hoshigatta mashou no hikari
Te ni ireru tame ni wa tsubasa ga hitsuyou

Oshiete kudasai kamigami yo konna dame na boku dakeredo
Ai to yuuki to kibou no tsubasa haete kuru deshou ka?

Haruka kanata no PUROKION sore wa mukashi kara tsutawaru
Yume wo kanaete kureru hikari yozora no ichibanboshi
Nanoku mono hoshitachi ga yume ni yabure kietetta
Soshite kyou mo PUROKION wa ayashige ni kagayaiteru

Tsubasa ga haeta boku ga tobenai no wa
Kokoro no naka ni kizukeba itsuwari ga aru no ka

Kanaete kudasai PUROKION namida ga hoshi ni kawaru nara
Kono hikari wa boku no negai no kesshou deshou ka?

Kami ga wari shi PUROKION sore wa mirai he tsunagaru
Jounetsu wo shimesu hikari yozora no ichibanboshi
Nanokunen mo mae kara aishimotomerarete kita
Dakara kyou mo PUROKION wa kanashige ni mitsumete iru

(Eyes) me wo tojite                                                                     

(Eyes) Yume wo mireba tsubasa habatakidasu
(Fly to future) namida wo fuite
(Fly to future) yume wo daite tobitate

Tsukame! daremo te ni shita koto nai hoshi yo
Mezase! ten kakeru ya no you na Shooting Star

Nanokunen mo mae kara hito ga motometa PUROKION
Kono sekai ga kawarou tomo kagayaki kienai

Haruka kanata no PUROKION sore wa mukashi kara tsutawaru
Yume wo kanaete kureru hikari yozora no ichibanboshi
Nanoku mono hoshitachi ga yume ni yabure kietetta
Soshite kyou mo PUROKION wa ayashige ni kagayaiteru

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

The Procyon of far beyond (it) is a transmission from the old days

The light of a dream come true shines through the winter sky

Fairytale from my childhood says

If you grasp that star your wish will come true

Everybody wanted a devilish light

In order to get it you need wings

Gods, please tell me, although I shouldn’t be doing it 

I will grow a wings of love, courage and hope, right?

The Procyon of far beyond (it) is a transmission from the old days                                                                           

The light of a dream come true is the first light on the night sky. 

Hundreds of millions of stars torn disappear within a dream. 

 And today also, Procyon mysteriously shines

I grew wings and I wasn’t flightless                                    

 but in the heart I questioned if it was a lie

Procyon please come true, if tears became stars

This light would become a crystal of my wish, right?

God created Procyon, it is a lead to the future                       

 It is the passionate light that shows first in the night sky           

 Since before hundreds of millions of years love is sought,      

 is also why today Procyon stares sadly 

(Eyes) Close your eyes                                                   

(Eyes) If you look at the dream put out your flattering wings                                                                                  

(Fly to future) Wipe your tears                                               

(Fly to future) Embrace the dream

Seize! The star no one held                                                                                        

Shooting star! Shooting star that pierces heaven

Since hundreds of millions years ago person was determined to Procyon, 

this world that is about to change still fadelessly shine                                                          

The Procyon of far beyond (it) is a transmission from the old days                                                                              

The light of a dream come true is the first light on the night sky. 

Hundreds of millions of stars torn disappear within a dream. 

And today also, Procyon mysteriously shines.

  There. I hope you liked it, sorry if I made any mistakes translating this, but I did my best and it's pretty accurate, so...

HEY HEY HEY
the latest news guys!
I love this guys sooo much that I did a subbed version of Chenmen paradise. I hope Teichiku ent. won't block it or anything, they did send me someting about blocking, but I wrote I DON'T OWN ANYTHING and stuff like that, what more can I do? right!? I wished if they had more understanding for us fans across the globe who need subs. It's all I did: made subs. that's all.

so, here you are, enjoy it. It took me couple of hours so I reeeealy hope they won't remove my vid or block the sound or smth. *sigh*
