Wut wut? Koala wants to write about Ryo but she feels guilty because she’s promised her love forevermore to her Pi and she’s only allowed to love one NEWS boy? What’s a Koala to do? Easy, make it a bromance post, of course! I have no good reason why Yamapi (Yamashita Tomohisa) has already starred in two of my bromance series, other than he has a lot of close guy friends. Probably comes with being a Johnny and having as his contemporaries his boyband mates, plus the guys in KAT-TUN, Arashi, etc.
Y’all know how I feel about Pi, but watching Zenkai Girl has resurrected my long dormant appreciation for Nishikido Ryo, the man with more than 1 Litre of Tears. Right now Ryo’s character and performance in ZG has me worshipping at his puppy dog smile altar, and making me ship him with Gakki so so bad. Whereas Pi and Gakki had zero chemistry in Code Blue, Ryo and Gakki are simply perfect together. But Ryo and Pi? That’s a bromance a decade long that is worth memorializing in a post. Don’t miss out, because I found the best bromance video of them. Watching it might give you cavities, but these two boys are so cute I guarantee the cavities are worth it.

Awww... both are just too cuteeeee !!! Long live bromance!!! :):):)
ahhh...
super love love this two guys....
Yamapi and Ryo....
the BEST....
Oh god, RyoPi was my favorite bromance in all of JE. They met back when they were kids, have known each other the longest, and have been friends for almost half of their lives. And just, back when they were still Juniors and Ryo was this small shrimp of a kid and Pi, who was younger, yet seemed like the older one between the two, and that they would call each other often back then, when Ryo was in Osaka and Pi was in Tokyo and just, gah. I remember reading a really old interview somewhere that Pi was Ryo's first friend from Tokyo.
Incoherent flailing. I miss these two.
I'm not in the news fandom so I never really hear much about RyoPi bromance. There seems to be heaps of Pin fans though. *sigh*, I really miss the Akanishi Troop exploits.
I can't even talk about 1 Litre of Tears. That drama scarred me for life. It was so good, but broke my heart in a thousand ways possible. Side note: Does anyone else feel like Japan is better at making tearjerkers than other Asian countries? All of the Korean makjang's just end up being too cheesy for me, but I'd be hard pressed to remember the number of times I've cried at a Japanese drama and film.
I'm going to start watching Zenkai girl this weekend. I'm always a little iffy on dramas with children, but Ryo is too cute. Gotta give it a chance.
Koala you've got to stop posting all these pictures of adorable Japanese men. I'm so distracted at work!
(Except just kidding. Please don't stop posting omg. I love them too much)
I agree -- I usually don't cry (or even have tears welling up) when watching things and Japanese doramas/movies do it in for me. I straight up had tears pouring down my face for 'Kimi ni Shikai Kikoenai'
Although, my eyes were flooding during that scene in the last ep of City Hunter when Yoon Sung and his dad were reaching for each other -- until an ad butted in. It was about the worst interruption of my life :P
Make that three. I literally cried buckets watching '1 Litre of Tears' and for tons of other J-doramas (Mukodono included). A fan of K-dramas too but none gave that strong of an effect on me.
their childhood pics together are so cute!
I was so surprised by Gakki & Ryo in Zenkai Girl, in a good way! I love Gakki in this role, it's so different from her usual image. The little girl playing her in the drama almost brought tears to my eyes.
Oh wait this is a bromance post. I've always shipped the P&Ryo and P&Toma relationships. Hey... now that I think about it... I've always hoped that Ryo & Toma will gain a little more weight someday...
I love Pi&Ryo but I admire Pi and Toma more = they are just too beautiful and it hurts my eyes....looking forward for a future projects from two of them together not just during the J's concert "only". Koala, thanks for sharing this with us. Just love all your posts and "tastes" on no matter, Kdramas, Jdramas, Tdramas etc... you are the best!
Not related to this post, but I love your banner! It's been a year. =') Thanks for the wonderful recaps. This had been our home.
OMG... i was watching their vid in Youtube just few hours ago..
AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
ok, that's about the most coherence I can manage.
I've heard of Yamapi&Toma, Yamapi&Kame and Yamapi&Jin, but Yamapi&Ryo?? I didn't think their bromance meter was this high. lol and Yamapi sure gets around a lot.
ZG: who knew Ryo and Gakki would be so awesome together. I've always liked Ryo, but Gakki was such a surprise, her Wakaba completely erased my horrible memories of her in Koizora.
Same here, I thought Yamapi was best buds with Kame and Jin, but I had no idea about the others. And phew, he looks good in those pictures! Especially the ones from way back when he still looked like Akira.
He's gotten much buffer since then, but somehow I like him best as my little Akira. *sniff*
Me too.. I only know KAT-TUN and from there I got to know Yamapi and heard of his other bffs but I never knew about this one... I had no clue Ryo was in NEWS.
Their bromance is <3
