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 … Continue reading →
Yamapi (Yamashita Tomohisa) wrapped up his ridiculously sold out four month long solo Asia tour at the end of May. Since I’m a very considerate noona I’ll let my Pi rest before kindly requesting he get his tush back into a drama, ASAP. Otherwise I’ll have to resort to actually finishing Code Blue, since there are only so many times I … Continue reading →
I’m back with another addition to my “Pimp That Drama” series – not a recap or a review, but rather my musings on why I love a certain drama. I love distinct seasons – the crisp Autumn air, the muggy Summer heat, the damp Spring scent, and the dry Winter chill. Just like some foods are best consumed at a … Continue reading →
I’m like a chipmunk, I can be busy doing someone important, but the second I sniff one of my obsessions, I immediately drop proper work like a hot potato and toddle off to happily waste time. Which was how I ended up spending an entire night happily watching Yamapi MVs and missing the Akira-incarnation of Pi like mad. Pi was … Continue reading →
I love this song, I love this collaboration, and I love this MV. But I’m kinda enviously hating on the fact that Namie Amuro is in her thirties, has a thirteen year old son, and still looks that smoking when she’s performing. One of the legacy queens of J-pop Namie Amuro, who has had a resurgence in recent years, released … Continue reading →
My Pi was in Korea last week and I was clearly living under a rock emblazened with the initials S and H because I didn’t register the event until late last night when my Pi radar pinged and asked me to check on his whereabouts. Yamapi (Yamashita Tomohisa) made a quick trip to Korea to perform on MNet Countdown and … Continue reading →
A big thank you to @Anona for alerting to Yamapi‘s latest single dropping its PV. The song is called “Hadakanbo” (which means naked baby), and has a very Big Band crossed with J-pop vibe. In the video, Pi wears a sequined pink suit, sings for a Twenties-era speakeasy, and does other assorted lounge-esque escapades. He also dons all black with … Continue reading →
My Pi is back! I have an inkling that 2011 will be a stellar year for Yamapi (Yamashita Tomohisa), what with his movie Ashita no Joe being released in February, and his solo Asia tour launching at the end of January in Hong Kong. This means that Pi will probably do a drama in the second half of the year, … Continue reading →
The upcoming live action movie of the seminal Japanese manga Ashita no Joe, starring my darling YamaPi (Yamashita Tomohisa), finally released its full-length trailer. Pi stars as the titular Yabuki Joe, a scrappy boxing contender looking for glory in a gritty post-war Japanese era. Doth my eyes deceive me? Does Pi actually look *gasp* alive and fiery in that poster above? Oh … Continue reading →
It appears that my mention of YamaPi last week sparked a mini-stampede to watch Buzzer Beat, and converted some new fans to my Pi. Yay for more Pi love!
Continue reading →Folks have been talking about so and so in Playful Kiss resembling someone else. While Jung So Min and Kim Hyun Joong are unique and I adore them as they are, it’s still fun to play around with doppelganger theories. I contend that college-era Ha Ni and Seung Jo are so similar to Naoki and Riko in Buzzer Beat it’s … Continue reading →
YamaPi (Yamashita Tomohisa) has just gone on tour with his NEWS mates, after wrapping his upcoming movie Ashita no Joe, a live-action adaptation of a classic old-school Japanese boxing manga.
Continue reading →The earth has just been returned to its axis, and continues to spin again. Akanishi Jin and Yamashita Tomohisa were spotted out together over the weekend at, where else, some Roppongi night club. What was even more noteworthy was that they were wearing the exact SAME black male yutaka-like top.
