thats true. i used to tell my girl that "its a guys nature to look. and plus, i'm sure you look at people like kimutaku or won bin as well." just as long as no touching is there, i think it's cool.

wow, you still remember that thread! :applaud: i basically forgot about that thread b/c i didn't think it was getting any interest...and besides, i know a lot more gravure that are hotter than her. it was just those 3 that i started, but i won't start up with another one simply because this is jdorama.com, not jgravure.com. :sweat:

Ehh, I wouldn't be too worried about it. It's no better or worse than some of the threads that currently exist... :)

It appears so. I guess that's why they're getting hitched in the U.S. and not Japan. :hehe:

I can't believe it! I think that's the most shocking thing I've heard in a long time. But it's kind of hot in it's own way too!

W00t, I can't wait! I thought it was a little weird when the days kept passing by when the projected release date was May for Hikki's English album. I guess this puts the nail in the coffin. Chalk another one up for my Hikki collection. :mrgreen:

Lol are you sure engaged together? Maybe they are just "both engaged"...
Then again, who the hell knows.
