Sorry, I'm not very concise or descript. The paradox is that although I really respect his wishes and his adore the fans' obedience to keep things about him off the internet, I really love collecting every little thing I can of his (on and off the internet). It markets well too: I bought Love Bites and Glorious, and even a magazine that he was in, just for the sake of having a hard image of him.
Unrelated: I love the overseas fans of him, they're always so helpful and cooperative, too. The same for the Tackey & Tsubasa base (although they tend to fangirl a lot more). But fans of like... Gackt, Koda Kumi, T.M.Revolution... tend to not be so communal and more... I dunno, greedy? I don't want to say that, especially because I *love* TMR, and now, a bunch of the Johnny's.
I hate that collector instinct. It makes me lose so much money!!! But I'm happy that I worked hard to build up the collection of artists, media, and clippings of the people I see as role models. (Not to mention that now I have dreams where random Johnny's come and help me solve problems as simple as baking bread and as complex as relationships. WEIRD. (I'm a loser))
Also, endless shock made me squeal. A lot. In fact, I think I'm going to devote an entire post to it, describing my reactions and the plot. :D
