Yikes. :sweat:

The word "effeminate" instantly popped in my head.

oh yes...when he did a backflip. ;)

Oh, you're sooooo sweet, wai! :D

And mine. :beaten:
I particularly dislike that v-neck tshirt and neck scarf. Ew. :bleh:
Perhaps this next picture will remove the bad taste that one has left...

The pink shirt doesn't help, either. :bleh:

Heh. I actually think the pink shirt on its own - and buttoned up - could have been ok. :D

Trying to visualize.....

Uh uh. :shakehead:

Really? I had no idea they were still together. I guess I don't pay attention because I'm not into their type of music.

Keps wrote:@ Cori and wai - actually, seeing video of Shonentai makes me feel ill. Seriously, any "performances" I've seen have been without exception hideous. :bleh: Kind of amusing, but traumatic, too.
The music, the dancing - just blegh.
Sorry. :bow:

Haha, I totally agree with the traumatic reaction. That's how I react whenever I see some serious performance by some actor and then see him sing and dance like a fool on a music program. Talk about shattering an image. :hehe:

*snorts* :hehe:

LOL-worthy, but at the same time, he looks hot in a strange way. :hehe: We need more flexible poses. :beaten:

Damn. He looks hot here. I wonder how old he was when those pics were taken.

*insert hot pics here*

Those are great pics, Keps! Now if only someone could take a screencap of that scene where he was bending down and grabbing his legs. And/or of him splitting or doing one of his high kicks. :mrgreen: More of his abs would be nice too. :inlove:

Pfft, abs are over-rated *looks down* :ashamed:

I'm usually don't care about stuff like that. He's actually the first guy that I've been so :inlove: with after seeing them. I think his flexibility has a lot to do with this slight infatuation as well. :beaten:

Hmm. Yes.
They aren't doing anything like releasing singles all the time (their latest was in 2006, the one before that 2001) etc, but they have their own projects and cons and they've been doing their stageplay PLAYZONE for forever. It's sold out every year, is released on DVD and the ost as a CD.
2007's DVD was unfortunately cancelled because of the Akasaka-scandal.

Those pictures I posted aren't too old. I can't remember the exact year since I think my magazines from my "total JE-period" (which btw was around 2000. Nowadays I follow groups like SMAP and TOKIO 'cause they're classic, but that's pretty much it for having stronger ties. Higashiyama is on my list forever) are somewhere in Finland now.

Higashiyama can be snarky and he has an image to have a little (...little? ;) ) too much of an ego.
He is, however, a total perfectionist and true professional when it comes to work.
I think there are some PLAYZONE-cuts available on youtube too of him dancing.
It's wonderful, all sharp and control. A dynamic dancer.

He has a dorky side too, and mostly he is just snarky to his juniors and not to "random people". Although I've seen some TV-shows where he totally owned the hosts because they didn't realize he was making fun of them ;)

Wynter, keep trying :mrgreen:

That's a little hard to do when every time I enter this thread I have an orgasm. :beaten:

Ahhhhhh big ego. I can tell. Mind you, I don't have problems with big egos when I think there's every reason to have one. I mean, look at Kanye West. It just gets problematic when the ego takes over.

He seems very composed, and everything about him (and this is quite evident in Kuitan) is just perfect - from his hair (which is never out of place) to the perfect white suit.

With pleasure...
