Random Japanese guys I’ve liked over the last 10 years...
Idek I thought I’d make a late night list like I like to do but then I decided to comment on each one so I realized I needed to cut this embarrassing shit XD
I wanted this to be in chronological order but it didn’t totally work out that way
Subaru Shibutani- My #1 from Kanjani8 obviously. My first idol, my favorite idol XD
Tadayoshi Ohkura- My #2 from Kanjani8. I don’t think I ever liked him as much as most of the other guys on this list but I did have my moments with him.
Tsuyoshi Domoto- If you were to ask my my favorite from Johnnys sometimes I would say Tsuyoshi.
Masato Sakai- I LOVED JOKER SO MUCH. I wanted to watch everything he did and I watched a lot of it, then he got popular and I got bored with him. His acting can be a bit cheesy sometimes but I don’t think it was always like that, maybe he’s been skating a bit cos he got so big.
Ryo Kase- After SPEC I liked him a lot. I watched a ton of his movies and I thought his career was going places... but then it didn’t. He does mostly indie movies so he’s hard for me to follow now :/ I ran a tumblr for him for a while.
Satoshi Tsumabuki- I like his face. idk when I started liking him. I haven’t come even close to watching all or even most of his work.
Joe Odagiri- Satorare was one of the first dramas I watched all the way through but I REALLY loved him in Jiko keisatsu and Atami no Sousakan, I’ve watched a bunch of his movies but not nearly all of them.
Ryuhei Matsuda- Now him I have watched a good deal of his work, maybe like 75%, I’ve watched some god awful things for him, I’ve watched nonsubbed things for him. I like him still but he was more interesting when he was younger tbh.
Ichiro Yamaguchi- He’s the lead singer of Sakanaction. I like him a lot, I think he’s probably an interesting guy... but here’s the thing I obviously can’t understand his tweets or any of his writing at all. I love his music tho.
Daisuke Takahashi- First skater, favorite skater XP I fell in love watching his Olympics 2010 SP
Ukigumo/Ryosuke Nagaoka- I only recently started really getting in to Tokyo Jihen and I regret it immensely.
Issei Takahashi- I started Quartet for Ryuhei and stayed for Issei. He’s done so many dramas that I wish were subbed. I’ve tried watching most of his stuff but I gave up on movies and I’m stalled on some of his early dramas.
Honorable mentions:
Yuzuru Hanyu- I started watching him right after the 2010 Olympics and he’s my second favorite skater. But I feel like it’s not cool to say that anymore? lolol
Haruma Miura- I think he’s really cute but I haven’t watched too much for him.
Masaki Okada- Same as Haruma basically. I think he reached his peak when he was younger... idk I feel like he made better film choices back then.
Kengo Kora- I want to watch more things with him but for some reason none of them grab me. I like his look and I think he’s done well not to be typecast in a certain type of role.
Nozomu Kotaki- I had to stick him in cos when I was looking over my archive to see if there was anyone I was missing I realized I’ve reblogged a lot of gifs of him. I haven’t watched any dramas he’s in, I don’t really pay attention to Hey Say WEST’s music but as far as younger idols go I like him the most. I still remember the first time I saw him in a magazine I thought “Hey that kid is tall, they need to push him, there need to be more tall Johnnys”
Soooo basically I mostly like guys my age or older, the younger guys can’t get me going in the same way haha
The story begins with the disappearance of a school bus and four high school girls. Still unsolved three years later, the case gets revived when one of the girls reappears.

And the winner of the Tokyo ESP manga giveaway is… AshLynx!
As the winner, AshLynx will be receiving the first omnibus in Hajime Segawa’s manga series Tokyo ESP as published in English by Vertical Comics. Tokyo ESP is a relatively recent example of a manga that’s about psychics and espers. The subgenre doesn’t seem to be quite as common as it once was in translation, but it’s certainly still around. And so for this giveaway, I asked that participants tell me a little about their favorite espers and psychics from manga. Mob from Mob Psycho 100 was mentioned the most frequently (I really hope an English-language publisher will license that series soon!), but there are other really great characters mentioned in the giveaway comments, too!

That’s quite a list, and I’m certain that’s not all of the manga with psychics and espers to have been released in English. Even so, I think there’s a nice variety of genres and even types of psychics represented, and you’ve got to start somewhere. Thank you to everyone who participated and shared your favorite espers with me. I hope to see you again for the next giveaway!
