Feh. He's wearing the only COTTON clothes he owns, of course! All his GOOD clothes are polyester (or spandex). IIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! :-D

Best cottonists, eh?

Daigo had let his hair grow a bit, this picture doesn't do him justice. Physically he's far from my ideal, but then not everything is about looks. He seems nice enough from what I've seen on tv. He talks funny but his heart is kind. Drop the 'wish' gimmick and he'll be fine.

My gaijin friend is crazy about J guys. Wait till I show her Daiko's pic. I think she'll change her mind.

why women in Japan look more masculine than the men? and why did men lose their masculinity whic is their most attractive chacracteristics? men cry like babies, feel hurt for nothing, stalk women as if they cannot find a woman to take care of them as their mother etc Not only Japanese problem.

The two ladies in question are making a hell of a lot of money on TV and on film as very successful models and actors. Two of the best in their time in their chosen field.

Guess the Daigo burned his hand. Anyway, thought that gauze was made of synthetic fibers instead of cotton.

Congratulation to them for winning such an "important" award. I don't actually get the meaning of the existence of such awards but, as a fan of Meisa Kuroki, I'm glad she won.
