Crap! It didn't post my comments

Why on earth do they have to tell us the ages of people all the time? I just don't understand it

Because its a journalistic standard?

I love Taichi, so I'm glad he got this award. Though I find it funny that its such a silly award. Oh well. :P

Nanjazilla's comment made me wonder what he is going to do with that little fist of his that he is thrusting upwards so energetically.

Taichi Kokubun, 34 is adorable. Japanese men are sexier than Western. Lol

Taichi san is not fat after the 40s and look like younger than his real age. He is lovely!

These so called "talents" are constantly being given stuff. They are paid ridiculous amounts of money for what they do (mainly talk about other "talents" on variety shows) and then they are showered with more stuff - prizes/money on quiz shows (like they need them) and awards like best jeans or cotton dresser.

Yes He is so adorable, his waist and arms are smaller than the two actresses while his head is twice as large.Maybe he should focus less time on cotton and more on a comb. I dont wanna know where he is gonna stick that award after the ceremony...though thats probably all its good for...

Well, his Converse sneakers go well with the suit.

JT: Your photos are fine, as they are a good mix of nature, the inane, and the scantly clad and/or tarento. And I'm not being sarcastic. Simple photo ops in Japan. That's all it is.

I wonder if the guy is wearing a seersucker suit. Seersucker suits are made from cotton.
