Summary: Yamapi is on Yokoyama and Murakami’s RECOMMEN radio broadcast to promote his new single for 'Kurosagi' the movie and he gets a confession.
“Konban one two, Yokoyama Yu here!”
“Konban one two, its Murakami. We have a very special guest today!”
“Who? Who?” asked Yokoyama, going along with the introduction even though he obviously knew who it was.
“It’s none other than Yamashita-kun!”
“Pi chaaaaaan!” exclaimed Yokoyama excitedly in a high-pitched voice and proceeded to hug Yamapi, squeezing the life out of him.
After he had recovered from the surprise attack, Yamapi acknowledged his presence.
“Err konbachiwa, Yamashita here. Yuroshiku onegaishimasu.” his voice sounding shaky from nervousness. It wasn’t his first time going on shows and radio broadcasts alone but he was still nervous and worried about how his second single as a solo artist would be received by everyone.
“So you’ve released another single as Yamashita Tomohisa.”
“Yes, that’s right. I hope everyone will like it and support me.” he replied, gripping his script so tight to steady himself that the creases on the paper could be seen by Murakami who was beside him.
“Oh come on, you have lots of fans!” teased Murakami in an encouraging tone, hoping to ease his tension. “So tell us more about this single. It’s called…”
“My new single is called ‘Shattered Dreams’ and it’s the theme song to my new movie ‘Kurosagi’ which will be shown in the movie theatres in March 2008. It’s a quick and upbeat song but has sad lyrics. I wrote the lyrics myself, putting myself in the shoes of Kurosaki. So please listen and buy the CD if you like it. Thank you.”
“Wow! You said all that in one breath! You must have said this at least 100 times huh.” praised Yokoyama.
“He he, yeah. I practiced saying that.” he answered, his nervousness slowly going away.
“Well now that we are done with the official stuff, let’s have fun together for the next 3 hours. It’s Kanajani’s Yokoyama Yu, and Murakami Shingo and…”
“Yamashita Tomohisa.”
“RECOMMEN” chimed all three of them in unison.
“The first song we have tonight is Yamashita-kun’s ‘Shattered Dreams’. Dozo!”
--------
“That was Yamashita-kun’s new single, Shattered Dreams. The first segment we’re going into now is called ‘1 out of 3’ and today’s theme is ‘Food’. Yamapi, do you have a favourite food?” asked Yokoyama, turning his head in his direction.
“Yamapi likes food in general because you always know where the best foods are!” interrupted Marukami.
“Ha ha, that’s true. I have many favourites actually.” replied Yamapi sheepishly.
“Well the question we have for you then is between BBQ meat, otoro sushi and gyoza, which is your favourite?”
Scrunching his gorgeous face in deep thought as though this was a life and death matter, he replied “Hmm this is tough because I like all of them.”
“You have to pick one.”
“Ma…if I have to choose, my favourite food among these three is BBQ meat than. I really love BBQ meat. There was one period of time where I ate it almost every day for one week.”
“One week?!” exclaimed Murakami, shocked yet impressed at the same time. “Did you not get sick of it after that one week?”
“Erm, no. That’s how much I love BBQ meat.”
“Anyway because you are a very special guest, we had actually prepared beforehand all three of the items here in the studio.” Yokoyama announced, as one of the staff-san carried in three plates. “So you can eat your favourite BBQ meat during the next song. I’ll take the…”
“I want the gyoza!” screamed Murakami.
Shrugging his shoulders, Yokoyama continued “I guess I’m left with the sushi than. Never mind, I like otoro too. The next song is NEWS’s Ai no Matador.”
As the beats of Ai n Matador started playing, Yamapi asked both of them if he could share their otoro sushi and gyoza too. All signs of nervousness had flown out of the window at the sight of food.
---------
“Yosh! Let’s enter the next segment on today’s agenda. Due to popular demand, we have brought back the segment where callers get to pick one person from the three of us to help them solve their problems. Whoever who is chosen has 30 seconds to answer before the call is automatically disconnected.”
“Do you remember participating in this segment the last time you were on this show?” asked Murakami curiously.
“Of course, it was with Ryo-chan. You guys were so interested in knowing how many love letters I had received ever since I entered university. After that broadcast, I have received more than 20 letters! Your show really has lots of influence ne. Ha ha…”
“Really? Sugoi! Well let’s make this one a memorable one too than.”
“Moshi moshi”
“Kon ban, one two. Who do we have here?”
“Kon ban, one two. My name is Yamada.” replied the caller in a sing-song voice.
“Are? This is rare! We have a male caller!” Yokoyama blurted out before he realized how rude it was. “And he sounds like Tegoshi!” added Yamapi, as it finally dawned on him as to why the caller’s voice sounded so familiar.
“Sumimasen, please excuse these two idiots here.” said Murakami quickly as he slapped Yokoyama’s head who was the nearest to him. “So how old are you and what is the problem you have that needs answering?” he continued coolly.
“I’m 20 this year. I have a senpai whom I greatly admire and I always try my best to model myself after my senpai. Just recently, I realized that I am in love with my senpai. So my problem is how should I confess? I have no confidence confessing my feelings because I’m 2 years younger than my senpai.”
“Ah…this is tough ne. So who would you like to answer your question?”
“Oh, sorry. I would like Yamashita-kun to answer it please.”
“Yamapi, have you ever confessed to a girl who was older than you?” asked Yokoyama gleefully, interested to know more juicy secrets of Yamapi.
Furrowing his forehead, Yamapi replied thoughtfully “No, I’ve not confessed to an older girl before. Gosh, this is really difficult. Well I think that it’s the thought that counts so I think you can give your senpai a bouquet of her favourite flowers or red roses if you don’t know what her favourite flowers is and just say ‘I like you’ to her. To quote Ryo, simple is the best. Good luck!”
“Eh…” was all they heard as the call was automatically disrupted.
“Geez, Yamapi. Your answer is so cheesy!” teased Yokoyama, almost falling off his chair from laughing too hard when Yamapi’s cheeks turned bright pink. “It’s almost impossible for this method to work now!”
“But…but I really think simple is the best! That was the best I could do given that I had to answer in 30 seconds.” protested Yamapi, understanding how it felt like to be a defendant defending himself as he is being cross-examined in a courtroom.
Both Yokoyama and Murakami only laughed harder at the younger boy tripping over his words in an attempt to explain himself.
The broadcast continued and Yamapi was more cautious when answering the questions. There was no mention of his cheesy answer which relieved him.
“Ok, that’s all we have for today.” concluded Yokoyama as he gave a small nod of his head towards Yamapi. “Thank you very much Yamashita-kun for being on this show. I hope you had fun today. Best of luck to you and may your single continue to sell very well. Everyone, support his new CD ‘Shattered Dreams’.”
“Yep, I had lots of fun. Thank you.”
After the live broadcast ended, Yamapi went out for supper with both Yokoyama and Murakami. That was when all hell broke loose. Throughout the entire meal, they teased him mercilessly about his cheesy answer. It was funny initially but as the joke wore off, he could only give strained laughs whenever they made yet another jab at it.
I should have known better. Not mentioning it on air doesn’t mean they had already forgotten about it.
---------
The next morning, Yamapi woke up with a splitting headache. Recalling the torment he experienced last night from both Yokoyama and Murakami, he sank back under his blanket with a low groan.
Ryo’s going to tease me today too.
He cringed and unwilling dragged himself out of his bed.
----------
When Yamapi was almost near the entrance of the Jimusho, he saw Tegoshi pacing outside.
“Tegoshi? Isn’t today your free day? Why are you here?” asked Yamapi as he pushed open the door, stepping into the peaceful atmosphere of the Jimusho thanks to the zen like decoration. He immediately felt his headache disappear.
Before he could continue towards the lift, Tegoshi stretched his hands towards him, narrowly avoiding hitting his face. He had his head low, eyes looking at the ground as he bit his lower lip nervously.
“Yamashita-kun! I like you! Will you go out on a date with me?”
After what seemed like eternity to Tegoshi which in reality was five seconds, he heard the answer he did not dare to even dream about.
“I like you too, Tegoshi.”
He jerked his head up in disbelief, staring at his beloved Yamashita-kun, shell-shocked. Yamapi pulled him into a tight hug and whispered softly in his ear,
“I said, I like you too Tegoshi.”
----------
“Ne, why did you buy a box of BBQ meat to confess your feelings to me?” Yamapi asked Tegoshi out of curiousity.
“Well, you said to buy a bouquet of flowers but I thought it would be weird giving flowers to a guy. So I thought BBQ meat is your favourite which should be okay too.”
Who said cheesy confessions won’t work. It did get him the love of his life. Kinda
Mused Yamapi as he entered the lift with Tegoshi clutching his arm and resting his head on his shoulder. And he gave a small smile of blissfulness.
