Isn't he just....:bow:

He's all "Hey, girl, let's go for coffee and dancing. Just ignore my ugly pants and concentrate *up here*" And then he smiles that smile.

And you try to pick yourself up from the puddle you've created.

I have a writer friend who is a subject matter expert of fashion (plus he's Asian and gay which makes him reliable source!). I sent him the picture of Takeno in his flood pants and he said the "barely there trouser lengths" is quite big in Japan influenced by Thom Browne, an eccentric American designer known for his Crazed Preppie/Pee Wee Hermanesque outfits. He concluded by saying Japanese men are so fashion-forward! I can handle it as long as Yutaka doesn't wear one of those awful cowl neck sweaters.......

here's the designer:

Wow. That explains it all. Never figured Yutaka for someone who blindly follows trends, but *shrug* he is a former fashion model after all so I suppose fashion is something that interests him.

It's still ugly as heck.

Thank you for this Deirdre! What did your friend think of Yutaka?

He and I have both discussed what a splendid speciman Yutaka is. Both of us love his hands--long, slender, tapered fingers (ooh!) And like me, my friend also agrees that Yuta is aging beautifully!

He and I also share a similar fangirl crush on Takeshi Kaneshiro. No arguing good taste there!!!

Ooh, Takeshi Kaneshiro. He's good looking too. Another man aging so well.

They should work together, play brothers or something.

Our guy Yutaka was at the Japan premiere for Oba: The Last Samurai.

the thing about Japanese actors is they always age beautifully, maybe that's why I'm always smitten by them rather than the younger ones :bonk:

and Takenouchi is certainly one of them :muack:

thank you for the picture. He looks great :smitten:

Yutakagr! So happy to hear from you again! :dancing:

Here are a few more pics from the premiere. I like how Yutaka is proudly showing off his finished paper crane while Kurasawa is still still trying to finish his.
