Part 2 - Akame

Part 3 - Pikame
-----------------------------------------
We've finally come to the end where we shall slash Kame with pretty much everyone. Well, he does have a very "You're all welcome to me" look about him sometimes.
-----------------------------------------
Nishikido Ryo
Ryo was born in Osaka on November 3, 1984 (making him about 2 years older than Kame). He is quite a talented actor. He's also part of the pop group NewS as well as Kanjani8. He's all over the place it seems. Ryo has a rather sharp tongue and won't hesitate to insult anyone if he wants to. Ryo, though, admits that a lot of the time he's just acting tough. Deep inside, Ryo likely gets more embarrassed than anyone else in NewS (except maybe Tegoshi) [see:
NewS: Iitoko Cha Cha Cha]. I won't say he's a big old softie--just "a softie" is enough. XDD
So why would I slash Ryo with Kame? Trust me that it never entered my mind initially. I didn't even know until much later that Ryo was part of JE...just that he was a good actor. That was until I read
JPB: Kame's Profile. Apparently his closest friends are Jin and Ryo. Eeeeeh? When did that happen? I had no clue until I saw that 2004 clip of the Jsports ending {see:
JPB >>KAT-TUN >>Performances >>KAT-TUN and Kanjani8 - Medley).
The 2004 JSports Baseball Competition was between Johnny's Junior members from the East against those from the West. Kame, being from Tokyo, was the captain of the East team. The captain of the West was Uchi Hiroki, from Osaka and Ryo's co-member in both NewS and Kanjani8 (he, as well, gets around XD).
I believe the game ended up a tie (or the West lost because Yokoyama ended up asking forgiveness from Uchi) but Kame won MVP (yay!). At the end of the awards and stuff, the Juniors sing a medley. Ryo was there (even if he did not play).
Here he is saying a quick hello (or something) to Kame.
One assumes that he is there to support the West team because he is from Osaka and Uchi is his bandmate (twice over). Right? So why does Ryo put an arm around Kame as they sing? (other people were singing around them too)
Could he have been supporting Kame instead? XDDD Kidding! Kidding! I really don't know and it's likely that they are just close friends with arms around each other but I'm a slash fan so I can think that there's more. ^_^
Also when Yuto was featured as Mr. X on
Shounen Club (11/19/05), Ryo was one of the people who were supposed to guess who Mr. X was. The way this game goes is that the people guessing get to ask questions and then Mr. X's friend gives a couple of clues as to who Mr. X is. Kame was likely unable to go to the set so they recorded his message instead. Kame comes across the big screen and Ryo felt the need to see Kame clearly. He got off his seat, sat on the floor, got comfortable and had fun watching Kame. All the other guessing people remained on their seats though but Ryo would not be satisfied until he got a clear view of Kame. XDD I do wonder why he had to watch though. It would have been fine if he just listened.
I don't really care anymore if they're not really as close as I expect them to be. Now I just adore the idea of them together. It actually replaced Akame as my OTP for a day (while I read
Double).
Also, it seems at 2004 that Ryo was taller than Kame. Now Kame's taller. The last measurement I found (October?) had Kame a cm taller.
-----------------------------------------
Kusano Hironori
Kusano was born on February 15, 1988 in Kanagawa Kan. Kusano amuses me to no end. When he was much younger he was so adorable, shy and sweet. Now he's like...a fraternity boy. *LOL* He's still cute and now he has a certain rough edge to him but you can't deny how much more adorable he was back then.
What I like most about Kusano though is the thing we have in common: we're both fangirls of Kame. XDD
I'm part of the
kusame community (that is sadly not very active right now) and I downloaded the clips that they shared (in locked posts so you don't see them until you join the comm) but I deleted them some time ago. Now I will never delete anything Kame related. *LOL*
There was this one clip of Kusano admitting that he liked Kame. And I mean he said "suki." Kame tries to let it look like it's not a big deal by patting Kusano on the head like he's some little kid.
I've got news for you Kame, he's not that much younger than you. *L*
Another clip (and it's my favorite one, sadly I don't have screencaps) have Kame and Kusano standing side by side. Kame is supposed to say something to the camera but he makes a mistake. Kusano must have found Kame so cute then as well because he put his arms around Kame and hugged him with all his might. He was pushing so hard, he ended up pushing Kame against the wall and Kame had to brace himself. Thankfully one of the 4Tops came to Kame's rescue (while another one distracted the camera *LOL*) and Kusano backed off. Is that a fangirl or what? *LOL*
Another clip had Kame with a plate of food in his hand. The other boys noticed that Kame left behind the slices of green bell peppers but ate everything else. They told him--challenged him, in fact--to eat the peppers. Kame tries but he quickly spits it out. Kusano then tells him affectionately, "It's fine. You don't have to eat it." *LOL*
Lastly, and this was just in 2004, Kusano is backstage just being loud and obnoxious (see:
NewS & KAT-TUN Backstage; 3/4's into the clip). Then Kame comes and talks to him. He says, "Kamenashi-kun daaa!" like some star-struck fan. He gasps and he grins like an idiot throughout their conversation. He's seriously grinning even when Kame talks to him seriously...so it's not like it was a joke about a past adoration. Kusano still adores Kame. He's not like that with his other sempais.
The young, in general, just seem to love Kame because in that same clip above Yuto also admits that he likes/admires Kame the most. I've read that Hikaru and Yabu also adore Kame.
See! It's not so far-fetched of me to ask for an "everyone loves Kame" fic because everyone does love him. *LOL*
Incidentally, in Nobuta O Produce, Yamapi's character is named Kusano Akira. Perhaps he based some of his portrayal from the actual Kusano. *LOL*

Kusano hugging Kame:
fanboy Kusano! (Jin complains at the end)

Sweet Kid -----------------------------------------
Imai Tsubasa
I bet you're thinking, "What the hell?!" I don't really intend to pair up Tsubasa with anyone else besides Tackey (and maybe Sho) but I suppose it needs to be mentioned that Kame is a huge fan of Tsubasa (and I don't blame him because Tsubasa is my 2nd favorite JE member after Kame). I hear that Kame hanged out with him a lot in 2004. That's pretty much it. (Tsubasa is older by about 5 years)
-----------------------------------------
Kaizokuban Bassist/Kame XDDDDDD
I'm still going to pair these two because they're my Crack OTP. I was watching the Kizuna clip from Kaizokuban concert, just thinking that Kame was looking extra shaggable there...
...hot and sweaty and pieces of clothing falling off of him, I was just so sure that someone other than the fangirls must be lusting after this boy at that very moment. Well the rest of KAT-TUN were nowhere in sight. When this guy appeared...
...I just had to do it. *LOL*
The end. Bicycle! Bye-Bye Bye-cyle!
