30 days of Johnny's [Day 3]

[scimisme]

Day 3 - Yamashita Tomohisa

Name Tomohisa Yamashita Japanese: 山下智久 (やました ともひさ) Birthdate: April 9, 1985 Birthplace: Funabashi, Chiba, Japan Height: 175cm Blood Type: A

The obvious thing would have been to continue with KAT-TUN and do Yuichi Nakamaru for the third day, but I wanted to do Yamapi instead >w< Basically, Yamapi's name was one of the first names I was able to remember from Johnny's(And by that, I mean I was able to remember "Yamapi" but Yamafwiuhwi Tomofkwugw was still too difficult to remember wwww). His name was probably the most notable thing I remember about him, but I also remember being totally crazy about his abs(Yeah those two things are totally connected pff). Somehow I find him to be such an airhead, despite his "perfect" image. Like he's not completely present or something??As an idol I wouldn't say he's the most talented, but he does serve some looks! He passes as a model from my opininon haha.

My 1st love before arashi... 1st crush and everything. <3 but that is before i knew Arashi though >_

[scimisme]

Not gonna lie he was the first Johnny's I got really into. I was a huge Hey! Say! JUMP fan because of the age difference but Yamapi's face got me totally hooked - aaand then Arashi bashed through the door and stole me away xD

[ira_91]

hahah wow *high five* he totally hooked me up with kurosagi then tie me up after i watch his performance as NEWS before with song Summer Song. He was like... *Melted* But then Arashi come... and here i am pledging as Arashian openly. hahahah

[scimisme]

I think I started liking him because of Nobuta wo produce, although I watched it pretty late and he wasn't in NEWS anymore at that time. Now I just watch him and other Johnny's on variety shows from time to time and give my support in love and attachment while Arashi is still my main uwu

[ira_91]

I see. Nobuta wo produce was really a good drama. Yamapi did said he can never act like how he act in Nobuta anymore. He dun even know how he can act like that. so crazy.. hahahah Did you ever watch Kurosagi??

[scimisme]

I remember getting started on Kurosagi but had to do chores right in the middle of it so I never finished watching it. I should really watch the rest asap xd

[ira_91]

YESSS!!! you should!!! it is one of my fave drama of YAMAPI!! i think its the only drama of him that i keep rewatching. others doesn't really suit my taste i guess.. hahah i just love him in there <3 Ofc his solo song as well!!!

[scimisme]

His music is so great ahhh! I'm honestly glad he became a soloist because it really suits him better in my opinion :'D

[ira_91]

yea his solo song is really great. other than the kurosagi song. i love 1 more song... Love something the title... i frgot it.. :( need to find it back! But then i Love him as NEWS more so when he announces he stop from the group kind a disappointment to me T_T..

[scimisme]

I think when members leave a group I feel most bad for the remaining members because they have to manage without the members who left. And since NEWS started up as a 9 member group it must be really difficult for the last 4 when they have to cover the vocals of the 5 who left(I could imagine it would already be very difficult if only one person left) D;

(But of course it would also be easier for them now because their songs now are specifically written for four members and not nine xD)

[ira_91]

Yeah.. but then the most changing happen when there are member leaving group is that the aura of the group would totally changed. When I knew NEWS it when they was 6 member group..When Yamapi and Ryo leave... it just doesnt feel like NEWS anymore.. at least for me as Pi and Ryo is my Ichiban and Neeban. so yeah i guess it kinda a turn off me as well for NEWS

[scimisme]

But to Ryo's offense, I think leaving NEWS was also the right call since being in two major groups sounds so exhausting D: I don't know if it's just me but it felt like NEWS was just a group created to debut a bunch of juniors at the same time, like the music was great but the group just lacked some sort of fundament? I think it's more manageable with the current members xD

[ira_91]

yeah might be. but i still sad. Hahahaha! as i love Ryo more in NEWS rather than K8. >_< But i think i heard somewhere that NEWS was debuted after Johnnys picked from each regional of Japan from all Junior group. to make the best group. hahaha

[scimisme]

At least that's what Johnny said, but Johnny always come up with all these funny excuses on how groups came to be hahaha. I also heard something about V6 initially thought their name meant something like "Versus" because they were put together by two groups, but then Johnny showed up like "The V has many meanings, volleyball, vegetables, other things starting with V and so on" and I honestly lost it xD

[ira_91]

Hahahahah! really? ok that was 1st time i heard bout V6 name. LOOOOL that so funny. Good thing arashi is much easier and simple to know the meaning. ahahahah

[scimisme]

If I'm not mistaken, everyone from Arashi didn't like their group name xD When Sho and Nino came to tell Johnny they were gonna quit Johnny's he wasn't home, but they found the list of group names Johnny had prepared, and the last name on the list was "Arashi" which they both thought was really lame, but eventually they both ended up in that group lol

[ira_91]

ahahah yea i watch that in Hawaii ep (oh chan crybaby here so cute)!!! i guess all idol group mostly the same. 1st started tend to dislike their group name then it changed to their most precious thing in their life. haha.. talk bout hawaii.. the word that oh-chan said there really give an enlightenment to me. hahaha

[scimisme]

Oh-chan was so sweet in Hawaii! I cry just at looking at him and he even said he cried just at looking at Sho-chan so I just become a big ball of *pluff* when I watch that episode ;D; They're so precious!

[ira_91]

IKR!!! I did too!!! especially when i hear their hardship until what they achieve until now. even which oh-chan nonsense dream. ahahahaha! i should watch that ep again really <3 now in the mean of rewatching all collection of my vs arashi. LOOL 200++ gonna take long to arrive at the ep though... ahahhaa

[scimisme]

Speaking of all those episodes, I actually really love how Arashi has soooooooooooo much content that no matter what I watch or how much I watch there's always still more to watch and that makes me really happy for some strange reason xD

[ira_91]

hahahaha! yea ikr. it doesnt matter how lil it is. when they talk bout that it become 1 really great story. hahaha they even can talk about crepe. even take the talk to next ep cause they didnt get the chance to elobrate on the title. ahahaahaha

[scimisme]

Yass, I love when they get started on a topic and suddenly go like "Let's talk about this on the next episode instead" and then they actually do (probably because they shot the episodes on the same day) hahahaha

[ira_91]

hahahahah IKR! they never stuck on any topic to talk about also. LOOL

[scimisme]

I also love when they start talking about something random and ask for Oh-chan's input and he replies with something completely off. It's so cute and the others just roll with it xD

[ira_91]

hahhaha ikr. i think there was 1 time he said something regarding been happy after brushing his teeth or something. hahahaha

[scimisme]

I also like when he made it sound like he started washing his body for the first time in 36 years and everyone were like "Ehhh?!" but it turns out he had just started using bathing soap which didn't exactly make the atmosphere any better hahaha

[ira_91]

ahahahhah that was a funny 1 as well. LOLOL. really oh-chan doesnt act as celebrity at all but he got the aura in him. especially when he with arashi. >_

[scimisme]

There are the Johnny's that act too much like celebrities and those who don't act like celebrities at all. Perhaps those of the Johnny's that wanted to quit previously don't act all starstruck while those who dreamt fondly about being an idol are a little bit too into it?? I don't even know if that is a thing xD

[scimisme]

I can't even think of examples right now, but I've heard of fans who switched to fangirl over other groups because their idols were too starstruck xD
