So we've probably had this discussion before, but eh. It's a new place. :P

I know we didn't ALL first discover him in NwP. Even though I did. XD Actually it's my friend's fault. I got into NEWS first, not knowing anything about them at all. The first time I saw Yamapi was in a performance of Kibou- Yell~ But I didn't know who he was so it didn't affect me, LOL. Then when NwP came out, before I saw it, my friend bought the Shuuji to Akira single, and made me listen to it. She also showed me the cover, and barely having any idea who they were, having to think hard to tell which was Kame and which was Yamapi, I was like, Yamapi is cuter. She loves Kame, so we argued about that. :P I was just getting into j-dramas, so I watched NwP. My friend told me I couldn't like Kame and Yamapi, they were hers. I was like, Whatever. Too bad I fell madly in love with Yamapi- not at first. First watching Akira, I was like, Wow, what a weirdo... LOL. But he quickly grew on me, and the more I watched Yamapi, the more I loved him! So now I'm madly in love with him, which is why I'm here. So there's my story. What's your guys' stories?

Yeah, I found out about Yamashita Tomohisa through Nobuta Wo Produce. He did such a great job in playing Akira. I love all the extra lines he added in. After watching him there, my obsession took off. x]

I wonder how it would of been like if Yamapi stayed with 4 tops. ;|

Who knows? I'm sure he'd still be famous, but I wonder if he'd be as famous as he is. Not to insult any 4TOPS fans but I probably wouldn't listen to his music much. From the little I've heard, Yamapi is a good singer and so is Toma, but someone in 4TOPS is really off pitch in the songs I've heard... -_-'' Maybe it's just me... I loved NEWS for their music before I even knew who Yamapi was.

hmm well i learned about him in nobuta wo produce....wasn't that interested in him though he kind of raised my eyebrows, but then after i finished nwp, i watched kurosagi and thats when i fell for him! i loved it when he switched to different characters in kurosagi, got to see the fun side of him.

yo, yoshida, peace!

dragon zakura.

i found out about him throu the dorama Stand up! i was watching nino in that and then i decided to find out who he was...
