My first Japanese crush

It's no secret among my circle of friends (especially in high school) that I loved animes/manga since elementary. My longing to go to Japan and maybe feel the winter season or walk under the sakura trees was even stronger during my high school days. Well Dianne preferably wanted to go to Korea, like I wanted Denmark and she wanted Paris (but that's another story).

I just realized that my first Japanese crush was Matsu-Jun (Matsumoto Jun) of Arashi. I first had a crush on him when he appeared in Gokusen 1 as Shin Sawada in the year 2002 or was it 2003? Apparently that is where my best friend Dianne started to have a crush with Oguri Shun.

And since I loved the Hana Yori Dango manga and anime (my last post). Imagine my happiness when I found out that Matsu-Jun would play my favorite HYD character, Domyouji. (♥_♥) And Dianne was happy to see Oguri Shun again.

Though today I have crushes like:
Hiroshi Tamaki who I first saw in Nodame Cantabile as Chiki Shinichi

Ikuta Toma as Nakatsu in Hana Kimi, he also played Junpei in HYD Returns

Mukai Osamu as Shinobu in Mei-chan no Shitsuji, he also played the playboy character in Nodame Cantabile

I'll still never forget him, Matsu-Jun = ♥. Though he has the cold persona in Arashi (maybe that's his selling point as an idol) maybe he isn't like that in real life. (saw many behind the scenes of his dramas).

and their last shot together

9 whole years of crushing over you and maybe more, still on the lay-low. No regrets. ♥
