Edit 2011.02.10

If you're looking for Oshareism subs, please be advised that you can find them on news_jpop, so you don't have to friend me to get them ^_^

If you're visiting from JORDAN or anywhere near LIVORNO please leave me a comment here. I'm always on the lookout for people near me ^_^


If you want to friend me:
I'd be happy about it. It would be nice if you left a comment here, but I've kind of given up on people doing that ^_^;

If you want me to friend you back:
Makes me happier, but please leave a comment here. I won't if you don't ^_^
Tell me a bit about yourself, how you found me, why you think we should become friends, anything you want.
And once you asked me to friend you, don't forget to friend me ^_^

I mostly write in English. Italian (Japanese, or any other language I see fit) might sneak in sometimes though.
Most of my posts are public. Locked posts are mainly me ranting. Entire Italian posts will be filtered.
Some media posts will be locked from now on, too.

If you're looking for my subs:

Hello (^o^)/

I'm really sorry for giving you the illusion I was back and then disappearing again all of a sudden ^^; I'm super busy with university and work issues right now (as well as planning for my near future), so I have to announce a short hiatus. Not sure how long it will last, hopefully things will calm down a bit in a couple of weeks ^_^

Hope y'all had a wonderful holiday and good start of the new year ^_^
This morning I was told, "If the new year started bad, it can't get any worse."
I replied, "I like to think, if you started the new year busy, then maybe you'll be busy all year round, which is good because it means you have something to do." ^_^
So, be busy, and have fun ^___^

Hope to be back soon ^o^

tomohisa yamashita

Yamashita Tomohisa who's acting the leading role in the new drama "saikou no jinsei no owarikata~Ending planner~", which starts on January 12th.
Putting an end to his activities as a member of NEWS after 8 years, he made a fresh start as a solo artist just the other day, but it seems he's already been able to obtain an ideal life cycle perfect just for him.

( Work is all I think about. )

Yamashita Tomohisa, activation.

Yamashita-san who withdrew from NEWS in October 2011 and made a new start as a solo artist.
What lead him to his decision, and what he's aiming for down the road he's taken.

I can't wipe off the 8 years I've walked as part of NEWS.

New titles post with the new year ^_^
Even through busy times, I was able to cross the 100 mark in 2011 (^o^)

And so starts this year's list, with an American title.
As usual, if you feel like recommending something (movie, drama, book) I'd appreciate it ^_^

A lot of things sound a little weird to me in this interview. Maybe I'm becoming a little rusty...

T/N:

Thank you for reading such a long interview ^_^;
watchful21 told me the Q&A page has already been translated, but I forgot and ended up translating it as well ^_^;; If you haven't read it yet, you can find it here.

Otherwise, please take the extra time to read about the following 2 activities ^_^

♪~ My Drama List.Info
You can list all the Japanese / Chinese / Korean / Taiwanese / Thai / Singaporean / Hong Kong / Vietnamese dramas, drama specials and movies (and soon animations) you've watched, plan to watch, dropped, have put on hold or are watching. Each drama page has all the related info, like air time, actors, staff, etc. It's a really fun and useful site to keep your records tidy, keep track of your things (I sometimes forget what episode I'm at XD) and get to know dramas you otherwise wouldn't have come across.
It's created in a wiki-like style, so all the information in it is contributed by the users (and verified for correctness by staff). You can also list your favorite actors and singers. It's currently in version2. But work on version3 is in progress with more features and improvements. The site also hopes to list books in the near future, and is currently expanding its singers/bands database ^_^

Check it out! This is my profile there ^o^

♪~ Tomonari's survey
It's a survey to gauge the interest of fans in Europe and other countries in attending Johnny's events held in Europe. The survey is still open, so if you haven't participated yet, please take the time to fill it out and submit it. It only takes a few minutes and is available in 8 different languages. Thank you m(_ _)m
