Yamapy decided to join JE after watching the various dramas where Takki plays the lead role, and Yamapy felt that he was able to perform the role as good as Takki, or even better, and therefore without informing his mum, he send the application form himself, and not long later, JE send him a copy of JE history booklet, which every JE boy would have it, if JE has chosen them to go for the audtion. And, obviously he won the audtion and entered Johnny juniors, and later on due to his high popularity, he was given many chances to act in dramas and of course he has many chances to get in contact with Takki, and Takki finds him really very adorable then, and therefore love him lots and they became good friends.
"Yamapy" was also given by Takki. . . Takki started calling out to him "Yamapy", and then from then onwards the whole JE called him by that. But so far, Tegoshi, Kusano and Massu still don't dare to call him by this name as they respected him as their big senior. So they call him "Yamashita san / Yamashita kun".
Kusano sold himself to JE as well. He wouldn't go for the audition when his mum had begged him and pursuaded him. He even stopped his mum from sending the application form for him. He even cried when his mum told him that she has already sent out the application form. However his mum and elder sister wants him to be inside, because both his sister and mum are fans of some seniors in JE, but I forgot who.. .sorry... so then want him to get in and take their signatures for them, but until now, he wasn't able to do so ... Finally when his mum told him, if he were to go for the audtion, his mum would buy him a Cd, and because of the Cd, he went for the audtion, and passed the audtion as well. Then from then, he had an idol, which is Kamenashi Kazuya, he says that he wants to be a great star like Kame one day. His liking for him starts from the drama Kinpasensei, which Yabu Kota, Hikaru Yaotome and Ayukawa Taiyou stared last year in the lastest episode of this drama. He finds Kame acting falwless and perfect. Therefore he likes him lots.
And Tegoshi sold himself to JE as well, after much pursuation by his mum, but I kinda forgot what's their exchange criteria... a Cd I think . . .
And, by the way, actually Takki sold himself to JE as well. His mum had wanted him to join JE badly, but he refused to do so. He cried and so on to beg his mum not to let him go. Only when his mum told him that if he were to go for the audition and if he were to be chosen, his mum will give him 1000 yen as reward. Then he went for it, not knowing what exactly it is all about. During his junior days, actually he often cry after the Junior tedious dance lessons and so on, and he would phone his mum. And his mum would always on the first minute, drive the car down to JE to fetch him home, and his mum would always hug him and say, if you really think it's so tiring, and you don't like it, mum won't force you anymore, you can stop anytime. However he does not want to make his mum sad, and therefore he continues on, despite that he still often calls home after practices crying and his mum would go down and fetch him again. Just a small piece of information, Takki's quite a rich boy in JE actually. . .
Another small piece of information, actually Johnny Junior trainings are very tough, especially at the point where you just won the audition and started practices and training with JE. My aunts friend's son actually join JE at the age of 8, which is not the legal age, the legal age to join JE is 9. However, the boy is a very famous children model in Japan, and he has many experiences in modeling and so on, and it was JE who offered him whether he wished to join JE or not. The mum of this boy obviously agreed to it , and he went for the practices and so on... and it was a extreme tedious practice that he stopped attending it halfway. . . therefore many boys who entered JE at a tender age actually couldn't stand the practices and trainings and that's why sometimes you find some new JE boys disappearing after some appearances and never return. . . despite of the tedious training, they still have to juggle their school work well... it's really a tiring stuff for children at such a tender age I guess. . .
