I don't know how old you are, but I hope you won't become like me in the future, it's not a very entertaining life! I know it could sound like oldies preach, but you should enjoy your studies, i've always considered it as the best time of my life (after childhood, but my childhood was really great). Nevertheless, thanks a lot for having taken the time to read that too long intro (I had to cut it cause there was not enough characters for all I wanted to say!!!)
I'm glad to see another Yamapi fan too. I still haven't watched Proposal Daisakusen yet, though it has been on my PTW list for a very long time. don't know why I can't resolve myself to start it. I really liked him in Nobuta and Ending planner. Anyway, feel free to talk about him any time.
Do you also like him as a singer? I liked his first album (Supergood, Superbad) but didn't listen to his latest songs (because of Arashi...).

I'm fine here. overwhelmed by my job, but that's the routine. Plus the sun has come back, it's almost summertime!
I'm glad to see you are okay. I'm looking at your country's situation from afar, and was a little worried. I hope everything will stay alright for you, and that the situation will be stabilised for the good. for your job and studies, gambatte ne!

Hallo !(though at the moment it should rather be Guten Abend! (hope I remember correctly my German's lessons). Thanks for the friend's request. If you like School dramas, you really should watch Tumbling (one of my favorite), which really underlines friendship value.
ah! and your pic of Yamapi really rocks!

hello. just wondering if things are all right for you. Hope your job and studies are going well.

funny idea! I'm in the end of Densha Otoko, so I couldn't agree more about your choice for Leonard. Other choices are good for me, though I don't know Maruyama Ryuhei.
Of course the main issue is : who could play Sheldon? I like your idea of Narimiya, but mostly because it's always enjoyable to see him on your TV screen. From the dramas I've seen, the only character who looks like Sheldon for me is Enomoto Kei from Kagi no kakatta Heya. So maybe Ohno Satoshi could play him, except he is not very tall (don't know if it's so important for this character; + another advantage, we could finally enjoy love relationship between Ohno and Toda, after having been so frustrated in Kagheya)...
Ready for daydreaming about this drama project, too bad it couldn't become true!
BTW thanks for this article!

added on my PTW list! plus I really enjoyed this actor (sorry, still unable to remember korean actors name) in Coffee Prince. Thanks for the rec!

your last statement should be my line!
But I can understand. because of Dramaland, I don't pay anymore any attention to all the men I could meet (well, in fact I don't meet a lot of people). Europeans have lost total interest in my eyes (doesn't sound English, sorry).

ah... sorry.
maybe you should check behind glasses... in Dramaland, there are always handsome men behind glasses...
otherwise, why not try to go shopping with some of them. maybe with other clothes, they would look like hotter...

... uhm, in fact, you seem to have very high standards...

lol. lucky you, maybe so many Enomoto around you!!! I guess you don't pay them any attention because they ARE NOT Asian students...

o tanjoubi omedetou, Kamiki-san! so far my favourite actor of the youngest generation.

Hello. Thanks for the friend request.
i do understand how hard it is not to be able to discuss your fav. subject with everybody. Fortunately, MDLers are there to cheers us up!
I liked your article about Flower boy trend, i've learnt a lot. Thanks again.

Anohter great and funny article (I think I may have awaken my boss because of my laughter while reading the last part)!
Alpha heroes and Nerd heroes are my favorites. (ah... Enomoto in Kagheya (though i'm pretty sure I would miss such a man if it could exist in real life)).
I think the last pic sums up very well this issue, and why we are escaping in Dramaland as soon as possible.
Your first pic makes me think we are some kind of sadistic or perverse people, as we are all enjoying tortured heroes and we like watching them struggling to overcome their trauma...
Thanks a lot !!!

sorry it took me so long to read your article, but good job girl!
I first saw him in Mei-chan no shitsuji but didn't really like his character (I was 200% for Mizushima). I started to like Sato as an actor since Bloody Monday, but I confess I haven't seen Rurouni Kenshin yet. Your article reminds me I should watch it soon. and I should take a look at Princess Princess D (just for fun) and Q10.
I've also always been curious to listen to him singing during the Super Handsome Live show (by Amuse)...

only Hidamari no Kanojo.
BTW thanks for the news, I hope there will be other articles like it so we can know what awaits us in the next months (years...)

Me too!!
so I was expecting another Nodame Cantabile movie...

I wish I could go there in spring too. Maybe one day. At the moment I cannot because of work (I work in a kind of Junior High School and cannot choose my vacation dates).
Spring time should be awesome with all those cherry trees blossoming...
Hope you could go there soon, it's a very charming country (at least I really enjoyed it the last time I went there). It's an expensive trip (well, maybe less for you since you live "not so far" and plane tickets are maybe less expensive) but it's really worthy. Plus Japanese people really like children, so you can go there with your son too.

Believe it or not, i don't know "to be free" !!! (well, I know lots of their songs, but I'm unable to remember the titles...) Concerning Popcorn Concert DVD, i'm planning to buy it this summer in Japan. As well as many other Arashi's goodies... (I think I will need a suitcase especially for their goodies...)
Concerning "Ryusei no Kizuna", you should really watch it. Not only because of Nino, but because of the story. It could sound dark, but what stroke me the most about this drama is how funny it was. You'll enjoy it, and Nino is really cute in this (well, he is cuter than in others, even though this man is damn too handsome). I call myself a YamaPi fan, but I'm unable to start Proposal Daisakusen, which seems to be one of his most appreciated drama.

lol, I thought the same about Matsujun, and didn't dare at first saying I didn't like him. But things have changed.
Regarding Nino, I do agree with his amazing talents. His solos are always so... well, they could make me cry at times. I don't count the time i've spent listening to Niji in concert (thanks YT users to share those moments !), and i'm a very very big fan of his solo in Popcorn. I became aware of his nice voice while listening to "subarashiki sekai" in concerts, that was the first time I was asking myself if his voice was not deeper that Ohno's (don't know if i'm clear). I didn't know he also wrote some songs for Arashi. I'm curious about that. Too bad i'm still unable to speak and to read Japanese.
As an actor, I'm always pissed of by his characters (except maybe in Ryusei no Kizuna) but I think that's BECAUSE he is a good actor. Never seen "letters from Iwo Jima" though.

funny article, thanks. I don't watch must K-dramas, but it seems i'm missing something hilarious (though I find it nice to see men wearing flashy and weird outfits).
Those Trasksuits are really funny, I don't know why but these pictures make me think of Star Trek (TOS). lol
I'm looking forward the female edition too.

I only know them since beginning of 2012. I had a problem with Matsumoto when I started watching dramas (before I knew he was a Arashi member, but at that time I din't even know what Arashi was). I just couldn't stand him since his performance in Hana Yori Dango. I was fed up with him shouting all the time, it was one of the main reason I rated it so low. I won't say more it appears you haven't seen it yet. I spent more than a year avoiding all the dramas he is starring. But one day I decided to watch Gokusen. And it was magic! Since then, I like him.
I don't find him arrogant. On the contrary, I find him quite a shy and nice guy, really sensitive. It seems he likes to make jokes, but I don't find him arrogant. Not as much as Nino... Yet, I start to like Nino a lot, even if he seems so mean sometimes.
Though, that so different characters can work together is really amazing.
