I was prepared for angst, but this is actually an extremely sweet love story (I was afraid of getting cavities, that's how sweet it ( Read more... )

Sometimes it pays off to trawl through the endless gushing and squeeing and innumerable birthday posts in the Yamapi thread at d-addicts. This time I came across a bunch of magazine scans from his upcoming romance drama, Proposal Daisakusen. Only a week now before it starts!

I'm very excited about the recent news on Yamapi's upcoming new romance drama Proposal Daisakusen. The following description of it sounds very nice :) (gacked from D-Addicts forum"Yamapi and Masami in the new Monday 9pm Fuji drama called The Proposal Campaign ( Read more... )
