With the basic information out of the way, let's get to the FUN stuff. AKA, pictures! ^_^ I did these in sets. Because I'm sad like that. Just because. Hehe. These are what I called the "head shots." Enjoy! ^_^
FIRST set!

























Doesn't that last one just KILL you?! So, SO taunting, isn't he?


Music:
- Daite Senorita: His Solo Single.
He sang the opening to his drama Kurosagi and it was a change for him to do solo work. He says this CONSTANTLY. Along with Daite Senorita, the songs Yubiwa and Himawari are in here. It's really an amazing single. (And no, I'm not ONLY saying this because I heart Yamapi. ...Okay, maybe that's a factor.)And this also includes scans of the booklet. None were done by me.

- Colorful: Solo in the Seishun Amigo Single
Well... A slow song. *nods nods* I liked it. ...Um, what else can I say?

- Houkago Blues: Solo in the Fever to Future Single
Weirdly enough, when I first heard this, the first thing I thought of was that it sounded like it had been the opening for Detective Conan. ...I don't know WHY, but I did. But whatever. (If that's right, I'd be surprised.) Anyway, I have always loved Yamapi's voice, even if it's not the BEST voice, and he works well with that nasally thing he's got going on. ...Why am I rambling? Who knows. ~_~;;

- Love Song
This is actually a ballad version cut from a Shounen Club episode. Which one? No idea, but it was. LOL. (It might be the one from the Love Song Video that I uploaded down in the video section.) But anyway, this is Yamapi's SONG. It's not a long cut either (only a minute) but it's still REALLY PRETTY and I love "Love Song." *sighs*

- Time
Honestly? I had no idea I even had this. It's a ballad and it's very slow and pretty and I really kinda liked it. ^_^ Cut from an episode of Shounen Club. Now this one, I REALLY don't know. It doesn't even have a date like the last one. But whatever. It's soft and I liked the instruments. ^_^ (Wow, I REALLY don't like talking about .mp3s at ALL.)

- LoveXXXX
Okay, I uploaded the performance in the Video section. But hey, I LOVE this song because it REMINDS me of the performance. @.@ Yamapi is seriously just hot in this performance... But then again, this is about the song. LOL. I have no real thoughts on the song.

- Let Me
Um, this rip is REALLY loud, sorry? (Well, in my iPod, it is. XP But on my computer, it plays normal. Hehe.) I didn't personally rip it really, but still. XP Another song that, to me, just reminds me of the performance. so no real comments here.

- Kiss de Tsutaete
A song he wrote with Koki and performed with some juniors. OMG, I like this song. I had it on repeat for a WHILE after it came out, seriously. It was kinda crazy. It's really catchy and I love it. @.@ Plus he WROTE IT.

- Fever to Future
In a temporary unit where he joined "forces" with Golf and Mike and some Juniors, they formed Kitty Gym (is that two Ts or just one?). Anyway, this was their single, which is ONCE AGAIN, extremely catchy. Darn you JE and your catchy songs. @.@

- Seishun Amigo
Teamed with Kamenashi Kazuya from KAT-TUN, they formed Shuji to Akira, a temporary unit joined from the drama they were both in, Nobuta wo Produce. The song ended up being EXTREMELY popular and well... It's not really a surprise. I do like the song a WHOLE lot.
(There's more with NewS, but really now. Do you need me to add any MORE to this list by adding in NewS songs? XP)


SECOND set!
The "sitting" set and the "standing" set.
























...Showing self restraint in choosing these pictures sucks. XP


Videos:
- [BNS] (MS) 2006.05.26 Yamapi
This is Yamapi's very first appearance on Music Station as a solo artist. I don't know if it's common knowledge, but this is the one where Yamapi...makes a mistake (his words) and is caught lip-singing (poor boy). But yeah, he was VERY nervous and well... yeah. Poor boy again. In the beginning, there's the mini Music Station with Koda Kumi (there's a bit of interaction between the two of them) and it's fun. ^_^ Subbed by BakaNoSekai!

- [BNS] (MS) 2006.06.02 Yamapi
(On a side note, wow did this take FOREVER to upload. MU was only going 40 KB/Hr. And well... That meant that this would take nearly FOUR hours to upload. ...I'm just surprised my internet didn't mysteriously disconnect in the middle of it... Not that I'm complaining. ^_^)
This is his 2nd appearance, RIGHT after that last one and well.. Yamapi's (of course) extremely nervous, especially after that last appearance. This time, Yamapi's with V6. Um, apparently it was the 850th broadcast... so wow, impressive. Hehe. They play off the mess-up from last week to be just a mess up in lyrics. LOL! Johnny apparently called Yamapi after the last performance and said "YOU! BIG IMPACT, YOU!" Ahahaha. I liked his sister's reply to his mom. IT'S THE JACKET WITH THE NEWS MEMBERS. @.@ Anyway he performs... AND THEN OMG, HE GETS A GUEST APPEAR ON STAGE. @.@ Whoooo? None other than KAMENASHI KAZUYA who seems like he just came from a shooting. (Hahahah! Look at Yamapi's expression after that.) Heheh. ^_^ Plus, they start dancing to Seishun Amigo randomly. Quite funny. Kame explains why he's there and then there you go. Enjoy! Subbed by BakaNoSekai as well.

- [BNS] (Hey!Hey!Hey!) 2006.05.29 Yamapi
...What a cracky interview. Gah, this is the interview that leads Downtown to call Yamapi a liar in a later interview with KAT-TUN. ~_~;; But BEYOND that, let's talk about this particular interview. First, they talk about his photo shoot in Tarzan. LOL. (The pictures were hilarious and well... erm, the places they zoomed in on.. @.@) LOL! He talks about knowing Jin since Junior High School. Then there's this whole questions segment. We learn about Yamapi's past with Kame.... And well... Yeah. Subbed by BakaNoSekai. ^_^

- [BNS] Yamapi's Worst Date
This is Yamapi's Worst Date. LOL. WE see Shige here and well... Erm... Chibi!Yamapi and Chibi!Shige are ADORABLE together. The date's pretty funny (includes swapping of cell phones and advice given THROUGH cell phones which have the guy and the girl pretty much swapping roles. LOL. Hilarity ensues (of course) and well... There's a scene where the two boys are wearing... outfits that you JUST don't want to miss. Subbed by BakaNoSekai.

- [BNS} (SC) Yamapi and Jrs. - Kiss de Tsutaete
I ALMOST forgot to upload this. (Why, oh WHY wouldn't I upload this?) It's such a great performance and even though I thought Yamapi looked kinda tired (not surprising), he looks really cool in that outfit he chose to wear. Plus I REALLY like this song...And he wrote it. (If I hadn't made THAT point clear before. LOL.) Subbed by BakaNoSekai. Now you have translations as you watch this video. ^_^

- (SC) Yamapi - Mr. X
Subbed. (Not by me. Credits on clip.) Very funny! Not EVERY line is subbed, but seriously who cares when Yamapi's "yelling" at Jin in a high-pitched voice. Koyama's hosting with an appearance by Kusano and Ryo's guessing who Mr. X could POSSIBLY be! LOL. It's just really fun.

- (SC) Yamapi's Team VS. Ryo's Team
Cut from Shounen Club, a game in which Yamapi has a small team and Ryo has a small team and they compete in random games with Koyama hosting! ^_^ Get this and watch Ryo lightly hit Kusano in the stomach, Massu show off his strength, Kusano beat Tegoshi with ease, Yamapi flashing Shige (which unfortunately isn't shown to us, but Shige would've gotten an eyeful...If his eyes weren't closed at the point), Yamapi doing a little impromptu dance (which I love), a little bit of Ryopi eye action, and well... that's all in the first 6 minutes of a 10 minute clip. This should be enough to convince you to download it. ^_^ (Gah, that was a VERY long description.)

- Johnny's Gymanstics Part 1
It's a fun video though to see some of these kids do the gymnastics routine. Tsukada Ryoichi, Miyagi Shunta, Yamashita Tomohisa, Matsumoto Jun, Murakami Shingo here! Matsujun had to be the FUNNIEST one (mainly because it was so short.)

- Yamapi - Disguised as a Woman
Takki and... Some other kid are at an onsen? They see legs pass by and grab at it... And look! It's chibi-Pi in a towel with a female wig. LOL. It's adorable and kinda creepy how adorable he looks as a female. As is his voice. He sounds too cute. ^_^

- (Fancam) Yamapi - Dressed as Hard Gay (Spring Concert)
AHAHAHAAH. It's exactly as titled. I read somewhere that it was the NewS members that had given him the outfit for his birthday (which is when this concert took place). LOL. If you don't know about Hard Gay ...Erm, look it up. It's just REALLY hilarious seeing him in the outfit, but he doesn't wear the glasses (unfortunately?) that I saw in some pictures. Hehe. You can see the NewS members looking at him funny and Koyama joins in with the poses. It's just HILARIOUS. ^_^

- (Fancam) Yamapi - Spring Concert 2005 Solo
Surprisingly good quality. @.@ I was really personally very surprised. He dances with a scarf and a rose? He sings Yubiwa and well.. It's just a VERY COOL dance and... I... Well, I'd fangirl, but isn't that what this entire post is all about?

- (Fancam) Yamapi - Spring Concert 2007 Solo
Coincidentally, this was released recently. @.@ He first sings a short ballad version of both Seishun Amigo and Daite Senorita, then goes into his new solo, Gomen ne Juliet. And well... I can't say much other than he starts out wearing this HAT but then ditches it (unfortunately) while wearing this really cool white suit-tish thing. Hehe. The hand motions are kinda addictive and well... YAMAPI'S HOT. ~_~;; *sighs* I couldn't resist.

- (SC) Toma and Yamapi - Yokuboh no Rain
A very old performance, during 2002. *sighs* Toma and Yamapi. They were great together, weren't they? I think this performance is pretty cool. Too bad that the quality isn't the greatest. @.@ But get it to see Chibi!Yamapi and Chibi!Toma sing together. I personally like Toma a lot when he's younger.... I have NO idea why. ~_~;;

- (SC) Yamapi - Love Song (with Guitar)
I have NO idea if he actually IS playing the guitar, but whatever. Either way, it's a pretty cool performance. (It LOOKS like he is, because he keeps changing positions on his hand.) But whatever. He's young in this one too.... And erm... Yeah. @.@ That's about it. *coughs* Oh, and not the greatest quality. (Gotta warn, after all.)

- (SC) Yamapi - Yamiyagari
...I don't think I can say enough how much I love Yamapi. Heee. He dances with an umbrella at the beginning then ditches it. But eh. I was more focused on the long-ish earring he had. It was kinda pretty. ^_^ And I don't know what it is about seeing him do a backflip, but it's totally hot. (And not just him, basically any of my favorites doing blackflips makes me squee. LOL. It's all because I can't do one myself. XP

- (SC) Yamapi - Let Me
Um... GUH? It's Yamapi in his strange fur hat, fur vest outfit, but he's dancing ... Well, all I can say is I had to lift my jaw from the ground after I saw this video. XP (Okay, a BIT of an exaggeration, but he's hot. So I'll keep it in. XP)

- (SC) Yamapi - LoveXXXX
Honestly? Nothing I say will ever be enough. So, instead, I'm pimping one of my OWN posts. (Yes, I am pathetic like that.) Which is a capspam of said performance which has all the "Guhs" that would just be here. Find it here!

- (SC) Yamapi - Colorful
Not the greatest quality for this one either. But still good enough. It's a slow song... So really, what can I say? Other than I liked his outfit. And that it's a good song and really soft and... Wow, do I REALLY like his outfit. (...Don't ask why I'm surprised by how much I like his outfit.)

- (SC) Yamapi - Medley
This performance is just... OMG, HOT. Part of this is because of the TIGHT ASS PANTS that he has. ...Yamapi, wear more pants like that, please. @.@ Anyway, first in the medley is Daite Senorita (which includes the VERY HOT hip roll that people have gifed like crazy.) Then he changes into Seishun Amigo. (It is VERY WEIRD for me to see Yamapi perform this solo. Kame does it more often.) Anyway, this changes into Fever to Future. Where he's joined by the Kity members. (I think. I could be wrong.) And then, last? NEWS NIPPON WITH KOYAMA. ^_^ I love it.

- [PV] Gym - Fever to Future
Wow, this is VERY HQ. Seriously. I never realized just how high quality it was. Snagged from yamaperfection ...I think. ~_~;; Anyway. It's basically the PV for Fever to Future. At first, I REFUSED to watch this, mainly because OMG, WTF did they force Yamapi to wear?! But eventually I managed to watch it and well... Not half bad and the song was definitely catchy. Hehehe. In the end, it was totally worth it to see this just to see Yamapi in the other outfit he wars that is actually REALLY kinda hot.

- [PV] Shuji to Akira - Seishun Amigo
They are, unsurprisingly, in their school uniforms for most of this. (Considering the singers are really their characters, but whatever.) Anyway. I don't really know what I can really say about this. Other than, this video is really what makes me think "OMG, KAME EAT MORE." ...Um, right. Sorry, Kame fans. But anyway, I just really liked the song and pretty much that's... it. (Gah, I'm so uncreative in these descriptions, aren't I?)

- [PV] Yamapi - Daite Senorita
This is the FULL version of the video and um... WOW, it's CRAZY. Although, I don't mind, because Yamapi's hot in it and he beats up GUYS and has bruises and is a COMPLETE boy. ^_^ I love it! ...Tis about it.

Ugh. I totally could've had more videos. But again, had to show SOME self restraint. Hope you enjoyed the videos that I DID end up uploading.

LAST set!
And of course, we have to have the HALF-NAKED PICTURES. (Seriously. I have a folder titled that in my hard drive. LOL. I'm SO not lying.) But anyway, no commentary in the world will make this any better than it ALREADY IS. So just enjoy! ^_^














I can't even BEGIN to say how much I love this boy. Thanks to him, I've gotten into the world of JE and made a BUNCH of friends that I adore. He works SO hard and he's only 22 and wow, it makes me amazed at how determined he is and all the work he's done. It's kinda inspiring to a girl of 20 years old when she sees how much he's done (this goes for pretty much ALL of the JE guys that are around this age.) And when you read what he writes and what he says, it makes you remember just how human these boys are and how sincere they can be and EVERYTHING. And Yamapi is just... one of those for me. ^_^

Heee! I love you Yamapi. ^_^ Hope everyone enjoyed his birthday post! (Oooh, and spread this link around, please! I'd love more people to come here and share in the Yamapi love. ^_^)
Oooh, and comment please! I'd totally like to know what you guys thought. ^^
...Dude, how the heck am I supposed to top this NEXT YEAR? ~_~;;
