Yamapi filming in Musashikoyama

It's a part from a blog of a truck driver that is delivering goods to various convenience stores around Tokyo.

Today when I had a course in Tokyo, I saw another famous person

I think this time it's someone who's certainly loved by girls (laughs)

Grannies that were witnessing it as well had heart shaped eyes too

It's a Johnny~

His face was really small~

It was Yamapi

He was filming drama in Musashikoyama

It seems it will air from July

He's doing it with Kitagawa Keiko

I was making a delivery to convenience store and Yamapi came to use a toilet

He passed by quickly

He looked good in suit and his face was REALLY small

Ryo drama shooting

First, an entry I found when I was looking for Buzzer Beat reports.



When I was going back, I stopped in Seven Eleven in Mita.
On the opposite side was some kind of shooting.

This place in Mita is used for drama shootings quite often.
I thought [Is it another drama again~?]
When I wanted to cross the street, a staff stopped me and said:
[We're in the middle of recording, please wait a while]
I asked [Recording of what?], then
I was told [It's new TBS drama Orthros no Inu]

[Huh? Could it be the one with Tackey?]
Then, maybe Tackey is there?? I checked a bit
I could see the set, but only extra's were walking around.

It was a scene that looked like walking in the rain.
Everybody were holding umbrellas, I didn't understand that
When I thought I should go, I saw in the middle a single man without umbrella
He was walking, then [Cut!] was shouted and he shook his head.
When he looked up I saw the face

[Eh? Could this be... Nishikido Ryo?]

Yes. Correct.

It wasn't Tackey, I saw Nishikido-kun.

I wanted to see it one more time, but he wasn't there anymore.
[Eh? Was it the end?] I thought and looked around.

Then on my left side, about 2 meters away, they were doing monitor check

Nishikido-kun was there!

The same one who was just now doing a scene of walking in the rain without umbrella!
He was wrapped in a bath towel, but looked good~
As expected from Johnny's person.

Buzzer Beat fan reports Day 1

Buzzer Beat community at mixi for last few days was full of comments from lucky fans who could be extra, asking what they should were or if there's anyone who could go with them. Reading them all got excited as well!!

I just started to look through reports, but there's so many it might take time to translate. So I decided I'll start from posting one and then keep on updating this post gradually. First goes comments from community and later I'll do blogs.
I think I can do it for next few houres at least, so come back and check it out once in a while~

Forgive me spelling mistakes, I don't want to waste time now on fixing them
There might be also small errors in translation, but I'll do my best to make it as accurate as possible!

Credits to original posters who's names are always on top of each entry.

Please do not repost!!

italic are my comments to original posts

Jenny.J2in:

Yoyogi Ren played by Nobuaki-san is a player who got transferred from other team. He's a "point getter", but seems to be lacking a team spirit.
It looks like he tries to approach Yamashita-san's girlfriend-in-drama, Nanami Natsuki (Aibu Saki)
It was a bit shocking (laughs)

Mimi:

I participated today
The baggage check was very careful
They even put hands inside (the bag)

and because they have t-shirts ready for everyone, you can come in regular clothes.

(being asked for more details)

Audience was categorized by colors,
but in general everybody were pink!!
Yamashita-kun team was pink :D

It's ok to wear normal clothes,
I put t-shirt on top of mine.

Latte:

The opponents team was wearing purple, they audience were people from the other team.
(Yamapi's team fans were brought by Fuji tv Club, but opposite team fans were from Apache fanclub)

Just now awsome fanreport with pics and videos appeared on news_jpop, so run there to check it out!!! (It's locked for community members only).
It's saving me work. I'll see if there's still something on mixi that is worth translating and if I find something, will post it~

After all there is something more I can share with you~ ^^ It's small compared with news_jpop reports, but always a bit of info more ;)

Mayumi:
(she is a fan of a professional basketball team that was playing against Yamapi's)

It seems that YamaP is starring in a drama with basketball team that belongs to a certain company.
Apaches wins tournament overwhelmingly, with this explenation we were cheering (laughs).

In 5 years of cheering it's first time I've done something like that.
After all filming is difficult, it has to be checked many times~
What's more, because there are a lot of movements, they need to be verified as well.
But because movements must be carefully planned, I had Apache member in front of my eyes all the time. I could see something new when watching they practice before the game, it was great~

They're good looking, maybe that's why they were chosen? Apache member Nr.19, Chomo entered Yamapi's team!
Joined enemies team ^^;;
He was entwined with Hannya, passing a ball to Pi, it was fun~
He doesn't have such a big part in it as an actor.
He cut his hair, somehow looks like a Johnny's member...
If he's a team member, does it means he will participate in future (drama) shooting???

[...]

Nr.11 Cohey. A friend that was with me, said he was funny in Junk Sports (Fuji TV program), but I didn't watch it...
He was overacting, fooling around, pulling up girl's skirt... really, he's not someone you'll get bored with~
One day he will become popular!!!
He was also approaching Yamapi a lot, I wonder if he'll appear in drama more. Looking forward for that ^^

This entry was hardest till now x_x;;; I skipped fangirling about other Apache members.
Here are photos of Tomoya Nakamura (Chomo) and Cohey Aoki:

Other members mentioned in entry were:
nr.9 - Shouji Nakanishi
nr.10 - Darin Satoshi Maki
nr. 12 - Junpei Nakama
nr.31 - Masashi Joho

See more info and photos of members, on Apache Official Webiste

Yachou:
(to don't confuse you, he's a guy ^^;)

I went to certain gym in capital!
I'm not going to write here any NG material!

Yamapi gave microphone performance (talk) twice!
I didn't really understood Hannya's part!

As I went to toilet, a good looking guy was there!

Isn't that Ito Hideaki!

Ito Hideaki-san [Otsukaresu~!] ("Good work~!")

Me [Otsukaresamadesu!] ("Good work!" in a polite way)

I didn't even thought he will greet me!

Usually I can't talk with people from entertainment industry.

Because he's from the other side/world.

When I left toilet my seat was taken, my eyes teared!

In return I received clear file!

But I don't need it... (laughs)

Logo of Yamapi's team!

Noricchi:

After work I went for shooting of a new drama that will be aired next month. I've been a member of Apache support.

Supportes of the other team were member of Johnny's Family Club and Fuji TV Club, about 1000 people?
For comparison, Apache supporters were only about 100?

As expected from Volleyball supporters, Johnny's fans are well accustomed with cheer sticks.

People in purple don't seem to have much interest in YamaP, they can have eyes only for Apache players...

Today's pay:

Photo below is not connceted with drama, just wanted to give you an idea of what cheer sticks are:

Done!
Finally!
I've never translated so much before~

Now I'm going to make the Ryo entry. And just few seconds ago I found photos from 24hrs tv shooting!!! I'll post them together (^^)

Yamapi x Jin rumors

Edited with more of Pi x Keiko photos.

One of the things I like the most are RUMORS! They can always turn my boring day upside down lol

Please don't take everything 100% seriously. It's for entertainment purpose only :)

OK, let's start from rumor number 1 that (almost) everybody knows about:

Yamapi new drama, that is suppose to be aired in July and called High School Musical. I'm not going deeper into this, because there's still too little info. But his co-star is suppose to be Kitagawa Keiko. And that made me realize I didn't post about her before. And they use to be quite a lot in attention of gossip magazines (around year 2005).
I think the biggest outroar came after kissing purikura and photos of Keiko visiting Yamapi at Meiji University leaked to press. I digged them out from my old photos~ ^^

After this scandal her official blog was attacked by Yamapi fans to the point where she had to clearly state that there's nothing going on between her and Pi. And someone said the purikura wasn't Yamapi, but some other Keiko friend. I even saw his photo, too bad I didn't save it back then :/
She was also rumored with Jin (I don't know any details) and Shirota Yuu

Personally, I don't hate Keiko (in j-showbizness I only hate Abiru and Sawajiri XP), and I even liked her in Mop Girl drama. But if they're really planning on making this drama with such cast it can be either very good or bad idea. Bad, because Pi can have trouble, old rumors will surface once again and new ones might be made. And why good? Can you imagine how high ratings will be?! I think it would be almost the same as putting Pi in one drama with Abiru!! (gross x_x) And maybe producers want the same thing as what happened in Hollywood production, big romance between main co-stars ;) I don't think Johnny would be pleased with this idea *laughs* But we never know what old man is thinking about ^^;;

Ok, let's carry on~! Akanishi solo corner and rumored romance with Crystal Kay.

I actually suceed on putting my hard-core-visual-kei-fan friend into Johnnys by introducing her Akanishi Jin *laughs* And recently I hear more about him than about Pi ^^;; Well, his also a part of Yamapi's life so I don't mind it so much ^__^

I found this article today on cyzowoman. I did raw translation for my friend so I'll do it here as well~
Again, some part of this article might be false! And to don't confuse you which is my personal thoughts and which is article, raw translation is italic.

Kat-Tun had a tour now including 8 days in Tokyo Dome. As usual Jin had a solo corner, this time it was a song called [WONDER], lyrics all-english and it was co-written and performed with Crystal Kay. During performance Jin was surrounded with female dancers and on screens was image of Crystal Kei singing.
I think it must've looked similar to Shingo's performance with Koda Kumi (I love it~!!!I downloaded my first SMAP live because of this performance! watch it here).

EDIT: fancam found on YT ^^


According to regular people visiting K-T live they sounded amazing together! "Her husky voice and his sexy singing perfectly fit together." And they were plesantly surprised with Jin's vocal.
But there was also harsh reaction from Jin fans that knew more about his personal life. There are rumors Jin was seen clubbing with Crystal Kay and it says there's even a photo where she's intoxicated and holding a head on his shoulder.Others said they kissed.
The only photo I found that fit this description was with that ex-SPEED chick:

On internet angry fans said "On Johnny's live we don't need women", "When this song starts, I'll turn off penlight immediatelly" and "As soon as Crystal Kay image will appear, please "boooo!" everybody."

Crystal Kay was a guest on Cartoon Kat-Tun in 2007, and few episodes later they (Kat-Tun) made a dream come true and performed together. Before that they were also together on Mini Music Station 2005.05.27, subbed by Kioku.

Screen caps just to tease ;D
