... Not really XD Sorry, that's not what I meant.

An official Ameblo has been set up for the D-BOYS+Shirota (honestly, why don't they just count him as a member again O_o), over here: http://ameblo.jp/deeboys/ As of press time (LOL), there's only one entry, and it says there that they will be writing about their NatsuDoko memories, and that FuyuDoko is currently ongoing.

Well, I guess this is as close as we international fans get to their old personal blogs, so I'm very much content with this ^^;

The Ameblo has been syndicated: dboys_ameblo

=======

Also, for anyone who's interested: Seto, Usui, Tomo, and Arayan have separate Oricon interviews here. Really short, just the same set of four questions per D-BOY, but pretty interesting. Especially when you see that Seto wants to try his hand at writing his own songs (he's actually been trying in private on his computer) and produce PVs, wants to try designing go work with Takiguchi, he's been into designing lately, too :D, that he's been spending his spare time drawing and tinkering with his computer... And he asks Masaya to please stop saying that he's cute XD

**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.

There are still no details about the new D-BOYS Calendar and Photobook, but D-BOYS Clearfile #3 will be on sale starting from December 12th.



It´s brown like a big D-BOYS fruitcake. XD


And I´ve got some translations (of the info blog and Zukkii´s old blog) here.

Hi,
I decided it would be better if I moved my translations to a journal of their own, here: a-sweet-reverie.livejournal.com
