Ruki started it off by surprising Kai with a cake just before he went to bed... (he said on his Twitter)

We'll just continue with happy thoughts and a pic spam, right? Because Kai is our beloved leader-sama, and he deserves to be celebrated! :)

♥ HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAI!!! ♥

( More Kai under the cut )

I was sitting here listening to T.M.Revolution's new album, and I remembered this picture that I came across the other day as I link-hopped on the Internet. Maybe I'm just over-sensitive, but sometimes I get annoyed when people keep mentioning or joking about how short Ruki is. I think a lot of people forget that in Japan, the average height of a male is 1.715 m (5 ft 7 1⁄2 in), and for a female, it's 1.580 m (5 ft 2 in). So even though Ruki is shorter than average with his 1.62 m, it's not like he's a dwarf or something like so many make it sound like. *grumps* And a lot of Caucasians would tower over almost any Japanese! I know my brother would definitely be a giant! LOL

Anyway! To the picture! And why I thought of it because of the music. ;) Click for a bigger version.



That's Ruki and T.M.Revolution (also the vocalist in Abingdon Boys School)! See? Ruki is not the shortest man in the Universe! T.M.Revolution is! He is tall! :D

Sadly, I have no idea where this picture was taken, or why etc, and also not who the original uploader is.

ETA: After some Internet detectiving (totally a word, shh!) we now know that this pic was taken backstage/off-camera at the TV show Music Japan Dec 12th, 2010. :)
