Tomo Yanagishita (柳下 大) is a japanese actor born on the 3rd of June, 1988. His career started when he won Watanabe Entertainment's 3rd D-Boys audition back 2006. On the same year, he won the part of Kaoru Kaidoh for Tenimyu (The Prince of Tennis Musical). For a guy, he looks so pretty. I so love him. Kawaii... The first time I saw him was in the movie entitled Takumi-kun Series: Soshite, Harukaze ni Sasayaite where he played Takumi, a shy boy with a past he keeps secret. This was the movie that I took notice of him. After, seeing him in this movie, I decided to google him and found other shows he took part in. I was so shocked when i learned that he appeared in the Detective Conan Movie. Apparently, he was one of the classmates of the main character. Immediately, I watched the Detective Conan movie again since I have a copy of it. And there he was, just a brief glimpse of his character. LOL! I didn't stop there. I then watched the Tenimyu Musical (The Prince of Tennis Musical: Progressive Match Higa feat. Rikkaidai), and i couldn't believe that he is playing that kind of a role. It was so far from his character in the Takumi-kun Movie as well as his looks never really suggested that he could play the part, but he did. In this musical was where I first saw how pretty his built is. He has pecks! Would you believe that?! LOL! In the Takumi-kun movie, he seemed flat-chested but that wasn't really the reason I watched this shows. Moving forward, as I mentioned earlier, I scanned for other shows and information about Tomochan. So I ended up watching Akai Ito (one of the best series ever!) where he played Natsu a soccer player who impregnated his girlfriend. Yes, he played that role. I am so jealous of the girl. LOL! Then I watched Ren Ai Shindan: Tsubasa no Karera where he played the role of Tsubasa. Dream Live 5 where he graduated and Dream Live 4 where I don't know what to say. Ahahaha! Oh, before I forget, I saw one of his DBOYS project, Shinsyunkakushigei, where he had to do some gymnastics. Sadly, he got into an accident during the rehearsal, but good thing that he was still able to do it. He had other shows but unfortunately I haven't found the time to watch them yet.

Anyway, he has this movie that I am looking forward to. It is called Sho no Michi. I haven't learned about what the story will be but by the trailer itself, I strongly believe that it'll be fantastic. Hope, I will be able to see it soon. There is also a tv series that he is taking part of that I haven't watched, it is called Samurai High School. Then, he also has a new movie this year, Shinsengumi PEACE MAKER. I really hope I can find the time to watch these shows.

Just for trivia, he collects necklaces and piercings. He is very fashionable and he loves to shop, a LOT! I have no access to his pure japanese blog but you can always read about him through a translated blog.

AKAI ITO

This is an 11 episode story of love, destiny, friendship, faith and self-control. The story shows the different forms of compensatory mechanisms; how people commonly address the many stresses of life. But what makes this so addicting and interesting is Mei and Atsushi's love story. It revolves around two people born on the same day and year,whose lives were sown together or linked by AKAI ITO (RED THREAD). Even when their fate to be together has been decided, not until the end could they be together. Their love was halted by circumstances, people and various factors. It would have been a tragic love story if they didn't end together at the end of the story, but they did. If only I was a person who sheds tears easily, I would have cried. The story also dealt with how friends are important especially in times when we are so down. True friends will stick with you even in the hard times. Even when everyone else has turned their backs at you, they are still their to stand up for you. True friendship doesn't end after graduation. The story is so heart-warming and full of heart. There were instances that I couldn't predict what would have happened.

Here is a personal sketch of AKAI ITO
