Who else misses him and wishes him a return to the drama world?

I liked him in Hana Kimi too :P
I haven't seen Mei-chan yet.

I wanna see them together again, and I miss him being on screen. Last time I saw a pic of him he'd dyed his blonde and it didn't look good at all.

- side note - has anyone read his book?

I loved the pairing too!
Has his book been released?

abs wrote: I thought I heard somewhere that it had, but apparently it's still only in Japanese - I'm sure I read there are plans for an english translation though.

Is it a novel or a biography or what?

abs wrote: a novel. It won an award. Here's a bit where he talks about it - from last year:

last I heard he was an editor of a magazine now.

I totally aww'ed and now I want to interview him even more!

abs wrote: only if I can be your lovely assistant! ^^

And best of all, he knows English!

i do. he's very funny. i think i saw him in a commercial recently something kaito royal...i think? but his face was shown so briefly and my japanese is lacking so i can't be sure. i hope it was him and it signals his return to acting. his wife has returned to singing after taking a yr off due to illness so maybe that is also a good sign he'll return too. crossing fingers.

yeah I saw that pic and my reaction was 'NOOOOOOO !!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!' !!!! I wanna see him as HIMSELF - not a chick. it's just wrong, wrong, wrong ><
