Kekeke.. I need a place to fangirling him.. :P I was thinking..should I write down "GTO" on his TV show list? LOL he wasn't even a cameo...but every time I see his poster on Azusa's wall, I forgot about Onizuka..haha I watched some of his dramas.. long vacation, beach boys, with love, boss, boss 2, nagareboshi... also finished mou ichido kimi ni, propose and Rondo not a long time ago... and one episode left to finish Dekichatta Kekkon.. Then I think I'll re-watch With Love..Because when I watched it before, I watch the dubbed version.. :P I always love his romance drama.. many people think Kimutaku is the king of romance drama...but for me, it's him.. :) but well...love it when they were together in Long Vacation.. <3

I saw him in Nagareboshi. I thought he was pretty good (and that's saying a lot since I really don't love Japanese acting and he's not Shota..lol)

I think you will be impressed. He looks better to me as these episodes have gone one. I loves his little moles everywhere! Almost as good as Shota's...but not quite! LOL

i think i already like him more than Shota lol...but that could be because i haven't seen much of Shota...come to think of it i have watched one whole drama of Shota where as just an ep. of Yutaka...hmmmm lol
