Higashiyama Noriyuki

Wynter wrote: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.

Oh YES.
His second name is "perfect".

If you're interested, you should look up the episode when TOKIO guested on Hey!x3.
Three of the guys used namely to LIVE with Higashiyama-san (since he was their senpai, to get the boys used to showbusiness etc.).
They tell amazing storied behind the scenes. If you want a link, ask. It's beyond hilarious :mrgreen:

Also, now when TOKIO's Yamaguchi got married (*aleyna is very happy* Finally, I've been waiting for this for.. ever and they've always been such a cute couple), he messed with media's head when wishing good luck to Yamaguchi :mrgreen:
http://www.daily.co.jp/gossip/2008/03/10/0000868385.shtml He is so.. himself. And I love him for it. :mrgreen:

Looks like they did a wax job on his eyebrows. :hehe:

And I don't know why, but I@find myself liking that "Wangan Skier" song. It's so cheesy, but I can't help myself. :sweat: Must...find...greatest hits mp3s...

Dunno about the eyebrows. But look at the hair! I'm sure those guys are sporting light perms in that picture. :shocked:

Uh, when I see a picture of Shonentai, Wangan Skier comes into my mind. Imo it's the least offensive of their songs. :twisted:

@ Aleyna - ack! Alas, I cannot read Japanese. :shamefulcry:

No, he definitely did get a wax job or at least plucked them because those bushy caterpillars aren't alive today, which is especially apparent in the photo you posted of him in the white shirt:

And don't get me started on the perms. :hehe:

I also like that song that they sang for the drama Harmonia. In fact, I think that was my first exposure to their music. I should ask in the request thread for their greatest hits album. :mrgreen:

Ohhh! I got it wrong - I thought you meant the brows were plucked in the Shonentai picture. :bonk:
Ha, Higashi is certainly no stranger to tweezers today, that's for sure.
(Or do you think he might go in for a brow wax? :hehe: ).

I'd advise you don't do this. It could be the start of the slippery slope to slushpop fandom. :rofl:

More pictures -

HOW cute?

Cori - I advise you to be sitting down before viewing these next ones (showing, as they do, more examples of the amazing bendy Higashi :hehe: ) -

Keps wrote:@ Aleyna - ack! Alas, I cannot read Japanese. :shamefulcry:

Ah, my bad.

To keep this short, he gongratulated Yamaguchi and talked a bit how he used to live together back in the days with three TOKIO-guys.
Then he sighed dramatically and said that it's kind of cruel that all of his younger brothers get married while he's still single himself :mrgreen:
Of course, the media tried to ask him if HE's got any wedding-plans and he said with his poker-face that
"I might, when my unlucky year is over.. so maybe next year?"
"It's wonderful to wear lipstick.. maybe I've realized something about myself!?"
"Lately, I've only been kissing my male co-star."

(the last parts relate to his play, what the press conf in the first place was for. In "Saraba Waga Ai..." he plays an onnagata who loves his brother and there's apparenly even a kiss-scene in the play ^^.
The Promo-pics for the play have been amazing btw!)


*laughs*
That's Higashi for you :mrgreen:

Just as long as he doesn't wax anywhere else. :hehe:

Haha, true, but they had about 3 songs that I like so far, so I wouldn't mind hearing more of them. Besides, no one looks at my iPod, so they won't know about my strange taste in music. :beaten:

Holy shhhhhhhhhhh...onentai!!! That's damn flexible and I like my men flexible. :smitten: :mrgreen: You just made my day. :D If Wyn was here, there's no telling what this might do to her. :hehe:

He's single??? Damn. I need to fly to Japan right NOW! And I can totally see him doing that dramatic sighing with a haughty attitude. :inlove:

Thanks Aleyna. :victory: I like that Higashi seems like a pretty humourous type. Very funny. :mrgreen:
Ooh, I wonder what he does look like wearing lipstick... :naughty:

Pleased to be of help. :mrgreen:
Lol, I think I'll avoid thinking about what Higashiyama might or might not wax. And the contents of your iPod. It's for the best, I think. :D

No wonder the women in this picture have such big smiles on their faces *deeply jealous keps*

[image]

..somehow, I wouldn't mind being there either in that pic above.

Just because I am nice and the man is godly ^^

That's because they're laughing at him. :beaten:

*screams* Noooooooooooooo! :shocked:
I mean, I'm not totally against make-up on guys or anything, but I don't like this amount on any guy! :bleh:
It doesn't look at all like Higashi underneath all that foundation. :sweat:
But thanks for posting this and satisfying my curiosity. *gulp*

Whaaaat? Why? Higashiyama looks nicely dressed in the picture, imo, and he's only stretching, isn't he?

Keps wrote:As there isn't a thread devoted to Higashi, I've taken it upon myself to create one.
Anything to do with Kuitan-san, please post here!

(I've only seen Higashiyama Noriyuki in Kuitan so far, and I think he is superb in the role.)

Some pictures...I dunno who Makoto is.

[image]

I just like Higashi's suaveness. :mrgreen:

Oh my! Just found this picture, and still I cannot believe Higashi ever looked so unstylish! What's with the hair? :shocked:

[image]

Hey, that Shonentai pic is from my site!!!! *laughs*

DonLt know about others... but I liked MAKOTO... thought itLs rather unusual for Higashi to look so unhappy... *pat pat*

Btw, great idea starting this topic... Higashi is my most favorite... person in the universe XDDDD.

That was THAT FIRST VID I have ever see Higashi in... *10000% happy for downloading that damn Countdown*. I shouldnt have fallen in love like that XD *laughs*.

This guy. He is the definition of the word 'perfection'. End of discussion ^^

So close your eyes (not explicit, but some JE-fangirls might not be able to take a real man when they're too used to.. yeah, you get me ;) ), little ones.

Oh, my fav images I put everywhere... e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e... *glomp*

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:

@ Wynter - lol, "steamy stare" - I like it. :mrgreen:

@ Aleyna - glad to hear it! :victory: "Sadistic"???? :headscratch:

This picture is just :shocked: How can the guys grin so broadly whilst being so horrendously attired and coiffed?

[image]

Thanks for this pic, I didnLt have that one...
and now die for your words!! Shonentai performances are the best!! *glare* XD. Well, if you donLt like them... more of them for me XD.

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...

Oh yes, it does, very much, thank you thank you thank you, I donLt like that pink shirt one either... XD and this pic is cute <3 (and one of the two pics in the thread that I donLt have XD.

Yeah, the Saraba poster was perfect <3<3<3<3 Thought I prefer Higashi looking actually like Higashi.... normal, in male clothes (or no clothes), withouth make-up... and dancing <3<3


Sorry people for having quoted so much... but I always miss it when topic gets started... and... my notoriously obsessed by the guy in question so... couldnLt help it XD. Sorry *bow bow bow*.

Now what did I wanted to say again? XD

Well, I like pretty much most of the Johnnys (some not really much, but I donLt hate anyone there... just some from time to time get on my nerves).
But Higashi is probably the only person on this planet that REALLY makes me drool and not just the hot Mr. Higashiyama he is now but also the cute cudly 80s Higashi. Shonentai are pretty much my top favorite band ever and their musicals about the only thing I am willing to spend all my money on............. sorry again XDDDD.

Ehm, random pics:

I just thought that he could use this dance move more often XD:

[image]

Well... recent photo... I donLt really think 40-something year old guys are supposed to look like this XDDD:

[image]

And some more painfull 80s Shonentai... ABC outfits from Kohshin Satoh... I love those you know!

Heh, I just meant they might be a bit too pervy for fangirls. :hehe:

Wowwwwwwwww. One of the best pictures I've seen of Higashi, er, Higashi. Thank you! And also, don't be stranger to this thread - please come back! :D

...I can live without that Shonentai picture, though. :twisted: :mrgreen:

Keps wrote:Eek. Sorry I used a picture from your site. I hope you don't mind.

Not really, I just find it funny when I see stuff from my page somewhere... like youtube video credited to my page XDDD.

Heh, I just meant they might be a bit too pervy for fangirls. hehe

Guess I am a pervy fangirl... I have one of them in my wallet... (along with one really cute smiling Higashi photo from the first season of Kuitan XD).

Yeah, I also think so... so now right this Higashi is staring back at me whenever I look at my mobile phone XDDD. *melts* The most evil thing about that photo is that itLs 2008 one! XD He looks so damn young XD.

...I can live without that Shonentai picture, though.

Hey, I love the Kohshin Satoh costumes! They are soo stylish! XD
