Aww he was so cute doing "Mow mow" it's been a while since I haven't followed "his activity" I watched The PV of "Ero" a few days ago and I remembered why I loved him so much some years ago. I had forgotten he was so attracting XD

He is so cute in these CM, and I adore listening to him speaking french.

Route 66 was a lot of fun to watch. (Thank you again Elisabetta) My favorite part about the whole thing (besides looking at 'Tomo' for 12 episodes) was watching him be real and himself. I know he had a camera crew with him so he wasn't truly alone, but watching him have all these little adventures and his impressions of America; meeting all those people. It was really cool. His reaction to the Grand Canyon was priceless... So glad I watched this.

Elisabetta wrote: Okay, my Yamapi obsession is kicking in, so let's add something about his singer/idol career. I first knew him as an actor, so when I stumbled across his stage performance I was in deep state of shock, I couldn't watch it, he is just so different from his usual (acting) self. I hated it at first, but then I couldn't stop watching/listening to it. ( the same was this time, I watched Ending Planer and I decided to check up on his music career-at first I was, no! I don't like this, I won't listen to it, why he does it.... 2 days later - I can't stop listening to it and I love it).
Oh the things he do... Here is a really old, but very good video ( sexy I know, but he does have a shirt on, which is sort of buttoned up ;) ), think of him in Code Blue, think of Ending Planer, and then watch this - it's like two different people!

I'm curious: what you think about it?

I was a fan of his singing first. I listened to NEWS, and he was my favorite members. Then I got into his acting. :)

LOL, for me it was the opposite - I was a greenhorn drama addict, I've already watched some of his dramas, and was interested enough to check him out... And I've never heard J-pop before (any Asian pop actually) - knowing that imagine my shock ! :D

I was like: "Why they are wearing sequin suits with flowers on them?! And rub their faces all the time?!... I don't understand...."

For the record I still don't get the FaceArousalRounchyThrusting trend (EatYourKimchi's term) among Asian boy-bands, with only few exceptions. It usually seems so fake.

But Yamapi is the only guy on Earth that can rock pink sequin suit, and still be totally awesome. Hadakanbo! I really love this song...

And what's that about him being in a horror movie or something? Or was that a variety show? Just something I read and didn't know.. ._.
Not that I'm going to watch it anyway, I'm way too easily scared. ^^

You mean this I think: http://mydramalist.com/japanese-drama/5239/honto-ni-atta-kowai-hanashi

Just watched i(well,Yamapi's part), it's actually like ghost stories around the fire-MINOR SPOILER : somebody saw something, but nothing really happen END OF SPOILER And it seems like it was aimed at younger viewers ( they show some children afterwards). But hell I watched it between one call and another and it still felt creepy.

I'm still unsure of whether i'll watch it or not. Btw, MONSTERS official twitter account finally opened! And Tamamori Yuta from Kis-My-Ft2 (Ren from Ikemen Desu Ne) went to Yamapi's concert at Yoyogi Stadium yesterday. He sat in the VIP section wearing the EroPi T-Shirt.

I was walking home from lunch today, and I stopped at a light across the street from 7/11. It was raining heavily and 7/11 had big banners advertising discounted oden. I half expected to see Fukuzawa Takuma walking towards me on the crosswalk when the light changed. Oh, Yamapi.
