The first time I ever saw Tanihara-san, it was in Lovely Complex (LoveCom). I remember thinking, “wtf is this guy? Why do all the girls love him?” Little did I know, it was fate that lead me to this moment ^_^
I saw him ‘around,’ on Osamu no Brunch and with Tegoshi while he was promoting Shabake, but I didn’t really fall for him until Love Shuffle. And oh man, did I fall hard ♥
I plan on rewatching that very soon, just because it needs to happen and also because the screencaps I have of it are very bad XD I don’t know when I started calling him “Tanihara-san” instead of just Tanihara or Shosuke, but it’s a term of endearment, I suppose :)
In any case, I thought I’d share the love, because this man is amazing. This post is brought to you by Tenshi no Koi a.k.a My Rainy Days, which is a fitting alternate name for the movie :D
My dreams of Tanihara-san playing a romantic lead has finally come true!! \:D/
This movie hit the spot for me in terms of angst and how the plot unfolded. Fate brought them together and it took them for a ride, but at least they stayed on it together ^^
(I'll try not to spoil it for you, but be warned just in case).
Rio and Kouki ♥
The cinematography and the music was very light and a bit upbeat and interesting at parts, but definitely a good match for the movie :)
Beautiful tears~
The mix up of photos belonging to "Osawa," brought them together again ^^
I love the scene where we actually see him take those 'goofy' shots. Not what I expected, but also very revealing of the character.
Pretty! I want her hair ^^
Doesn't she remind you of Noi from Yamanade?
I couldn't resist capping Kagami Saki~
Counting down the days...
...somehow, we meet again.
Eventually, she finds a way to squeeze herself into his life, and it's CUTE!
Oh damn, if he were my teacher :9
Part of the appeal was also Tanihara-san's hair ;)
Alex, this scene is for you. Not exactly the same phrasing, but ;P
The first official date: I love that he suddenly busts out of his shell and acts like a kid in a candy store. I love that she goes along with it and actually enjoys herself :)

The Library Scene @4:20 The trailer doesn’t give this clip justice…the way he sneaks a kiss *kyun tte kite* And please continue watching until the end of this video, because the movie date is extremely cute too! :)
She took the words right out of my mouth ;)
The word she used was 'osotte' which literally means 'attack,' so I took my liberty there and filled it in :P
But even if Kouki won't say anything, he shows it.
Hugs like these always get to me <3
And the pained expression *guh*
More beautiful shots of our leads :)
A tender, heart-breaking, moment <3
FLAIL!!
The possibilities are endless ∞
Finally, I've been wondering what the hell "Soup Opera" was going to be like when I first heard about it, but here it is, and OMG YES :DDD

Looks like it's going to be a feel-good movie :) Eat with the people you love and just enjoy the simple things you have. Nissy is smiley, even when he's crying...I can't wait! ♥
