YAMAPI!!!!

              Lucky number 3!! So, this post is about Yamapi, my favorite J-idol! :3 His stage name is Yamashita Tomohisa (his real name is said to be Aoki Tomohisa). Many people don't know why his nickname is Yamapi.The name YamaPi is short for Yamashita Pink which was given to him by his idol Hideaki Takizawa after he saw that Yamashita is always put in Pink. The first time I heard about Yamapi was through Nobuta wo Produce. I had just finished Hana Kimi when I found this drama and was interested in it because one of actress I always see in my favorite dramas, Maki Horikita, was in the show. Then, I saw Yamapi!! >w< He was so funny and I liked his voice a lot O.O so I found Loveless and started watching other shows and songs he was in. Yamapi is an actor and singer. He was a part of the J-band NEWS for 3 years until he went solo in 2006. By the way, his birthday's in 1 MONTH!!!
