Meet My Newest Obsession

He's called Yamashita Tomohisa, more commonly known as Yamapi. 

I have one word for you: kawaaaaiiiii.

Yamapi is not only ADORABLE as Kusano Akira in Nobuta wo Produce, he's a total (somehow still adorable-- no, make that SMOKIN') badass in Kurosagi. He's also starred in dramas like Proposal Daisakusen and Dragon Zakura, which I have yet to see. But his acting is damn versatile. Unlike some people here in the States who are famous for reasons that are unfathomable to me, as they play.. themselves in every role they do. But let's not name any names. Unless we're naming Tom Cruise. Which is who I was talking about. But I digress. Back to Yamapi-land. A member of the J-Pop group NewS and a talented actor, he's extremely popular in Japan, and judging from the way he was reported as "nearly raped" by Korean fangirls, I'm guessing well across Asia. I'm still trying to figure out why the majority of America will drool over like, Gerard Butler (O_o) but completely ignore the East. I mean, good lord, just look at him. I am not judging those Koreans one bit.

Aside from being one of those ridiculously good looking people you would love to hate but just can't, the boy can act. Damn well. And sing. And dance. Hell, he could just stand there chewing gum and it would somehow look so much cooler than anyone else doing it. Johnny's Entertainment picks their talent carefully, alright. I don't think that's a bad thing at ALL. And as much as I love MatsuJun (another very multi-talented JE boy, who incidentally stars in one of my favorite J-Dramas, Hana Yori Dango), I have to say Yamapi takes the gold in the looks department. >_>

The kid (I say kid, even though he's 5 years older than me, because I'm pretentious) is damn talented, like I said. The fact that he can go from flapping his arms while hopping down the stairs on a soy milk high to the hot emo tears and frown of Kurosaki is amazing. A lot of actors can only play one type of role (*cough* Jack Black *cough*), but he's clearly not one of them.

He's without a doubt one of the main reasons I loved Nobuta wo Produce (aside from it being a brilliant and hilarious show in general that I absolutely recommend you watch immediately... IMMEDIATELY), with his kon-kons and dance moves and just general existence.. Akira is most definitely one of my favorite J-Drama characters ever. And even though the romance was minimal (some might say nonexistant, but I'm an optimist), I'm a hardcore Nobuta/Akira shipper (I'm also having Nakatsu Hana Kimi flashbacks). And a YaMaki shipper in general, as they look retardedly gorgeous together. Just imagine the retardedly gorgeous and ridiculously talented children they would have. They'd probably be pop stars who cure cancer on the side, or something.

Well, more later. Bye-cycle. Bye bye-cycle.
