ok about Gambatte Ikimasshoi and Attention Please are both very good except you see more ryo in GI than in AP. both are good so it doesn't really matter which you watch first. altho if you are looking to watch more ryo than watch GI.

um...since i shared a pic of yamapi's rumoured gf or ex-gf (keiko kitagawa) in yamapi's thread i'm going to share ryo's rumoured ex-gf. well alot of people said that she was who he dated before but they have broke up because so many pressure from fangirls. i heard that she was harassed by fangirls in her official website so she closed it down. i think she was a model or something.

Hamada Izumi



and just some random hot pics of ryo. i don't remember where i got these.

o.o

Ahh that girls cute. >w<
... so many crazy fangirls. =_= Can't even have their idol have a gf. TT__TT

The last picture!!! *drools*

@ vanggirlie:
What a stupid 'fan' girls.
If you are a real fan you want that he's happy.
And you don't ruin his personal life.
I think that sort of people are a bit too obsesses I guess.
Jalousy is allowed and normal, but blaming the idol for it is nuts.

FIRST POST HERE!

i just finish watching 1 litre of tears and i LOVE ryo inside~!!!
hes so caring and nice towards the girl!!!
ahhhh
well i used to not like him because of how he bully ueda but they're both fine now!!

YAY RYO!!

yeah...ive heard alot of comments and read the
synopsis that this is a HEAVY TEARJERKER...
i cant pinpoint ryo there.. is he the snobbish guy in the first ep
during the bike encounter?



scared?well i understand what u mean... im scared
of watchin heavy dramas too... i prefer watchin horror flicks than
tearjerker films...



WOAH! IM TOO AFRAID NOW TO DATE JE BOYS!!! (AS IF!!!)

am i?? hahahaha
well if im getting mob if i date ryo chan
or any other je guys and get death threats
i dont want to waste my time w/them...
posters/pics/threads r so much better than
being their gfs i guess... hahaha

yep!! Thats ryo~strange that you didnt recognize him~

Actually the purpose of he series is to really make you cry 1 litre of tears.lol!!!~

Ry's cuter at the mid eps. and he's soooooooooo sweet in this series.

thats was ryo? he didnt caught my eye
in that scene..y is that?? oh well better watch the rest of the series...
maybe he looks so nice in those photoshoots... ne?
yeah u have to have atleast 1 liter of tears after
finishing it lol

He was sooo sweet in the series, but also sometimes was his sarcastic self. Cuz he was a made up character, do you think the made it so he sorta played his normal self? Sometimes it seemed like I was seeing the real "Ryo" than the character he was playing

Ryo crying also made me cry. TT3TT

The letter... TT_TT
That part was... just so sad. D:

Quotes from Ryo(credits to Subaru-wind8)

Dear Mom,
Thank you for giving birth to me.
Thank you for feeding me.
Thank you for scolding me.
Thank you for letting me sleep a lot.
Thank you for giving me lots of love.
Thank you for teaching me many things.
Thank you for giving me this name "Ryo".
Thank you for being my Mom.
Please be my Mom forever.
Please wait because I'll soon make a grandchild. I'll think of the names.
From now on please get along with Dad. Don't ever fight with him.



- I entered the company because someone said "You sing well" to me.
From that point, I was in a perfect rhythm.
But then I became a delinquent in my 1st year of high school.
The images you saw around that time was blonde hair and I was glaring a lot
it was so bad (laugh)
But then after a while, I only got jobs for magazine interviews
and I seriously thought "what....? when did that happen?"
Then, the two people that I got along with,
Yassan and Maru started to be in V. West
and they started saying "Let's do our best!" I watched them and I realized,
"what am I doing?" that's the first time I thought I wanted to quit my job.

But before I even had the opportunity to actually quit,
it had been decided that I was to do a stage play called "ANOTHER" with Kanjani8 members.
After that, being in Kanjani8 and being in News, was a perfect rhythm.
But now, I won't be rotten. I'll do everything 100% with my own power.
I want to show people who support me all the way that,
and I want to satisfy myself also.

Looking back after a couple of years,
I want to be satisfied by then so I want to work hard.



- I have a mountain pile of weaknesses (laugh)
I get down really easily.
I don't say things to people and they don't notice.
But Yasu notices. Suddenly he asks me "What's wrong?"
It strikes me in my weakness and I just start feeling like I want to cry (laugh)



- Q. What would you like to say to your future son?
"Don't cry when I die.
Cry only when your Mom dies."



- I definitely can't be without Uchi.



- I think that with true friends you can show your embarrassing sides.
You don't have to force yourself to look cool.
You can be the way you are.
I wish I can make many friends like that.
Of course, I show every side of myself to these 7.



- People watching us on TV, think we are so stupid,
it's ok to laugh at us about it.



- I want to show the difference with our group from all the other groups,
more than that; I want us to stay who we are.
Doing things that we can do naturally and in our best ability becomes only ours.
That’ll make me happy.



- Understanding the places that I want to be understood.
Uchi is like that for me. I want to be like that for Uchi and hope he thinks that.



- Uchi...when I first met you, didn't you think this?
“Everyone probably hates me." I was like that so I understand.
But look around you; everyone seems to love you a lot.



- When I have something bad, I want to go to my members.
If I didn't debut in K8, I think I wouldn't have such a bond with them.
I need to be in K8. This is where I started.



- I have the other members, that's why I could work hard.
That’s a simple phrase, but aren't there moments when you get really worried?
In those moments, I feel like I need to work hard with the member’s words in mind.
Just being next to the other members who are always there for me is why I can always smile.
Always showing my true side, I don't know but maybe that’s only in front of K8.
...I really do love K8.



- When I'm in Tokyo for work, I start thinking about the members instantly.
"What are they doing right now?", “I want to see them."
So it feels amazing when I get to see them!



- Seriously, we can say something’s annoying
when it's annoying to each other and that's our relationship.
Being able to trust each other this much, is it ok to be really this blessed?
I think that at times.



- At the Spring Con with News,
Subaru-kun and Tacchon came to visit.
After I finished, from Subaru-kun,
"Ryo in News was also handsome."
A text message with those very words came.
Looking at that, I almost cried.



- I was eating and I felt Subaru-kun's presence,
he was right next to me looking and smiling.
It really made me happy.



- Thank you to the most trustworthy and stupid companions.
K8's seriously comfortable.
Being able to relax with nothing much.



- Even if we become old, we'll probably still be doing these stupid things.
No way there would be a fracture in our relationships!!



- When I quit K8 is the time I quite this business



- I have a place I could go back to (K8)
so I can be comfortable and work in News.



- When I had a lot of work and couldn't remember the lines
to the stage play Summer Special 2005,
The members said “Oh I didn't remember either" and worked with me.
But obviously, they remembered most of the lines beforehand.
I was really happy that they tried to help me.



- Kanjani8 is something wonderful.
Usually the other members do other work and at times,
it becomes Kanjani 6 (laugh)?

It's probably a tough time for them.
But they still give me text messages saying "Good luck" while I'm with News.
There was a time when Murakami-kun came to the train station for me.
There was a text message from him saying “Where you at?"
and I replied with "In the train."
and he replied me back with “Oh then, I'll go to the train station." (laugh)

When I came back, Maru was just in my room (laugh)
It happened in Uchi's house too, this Maru incident.
He was listening to Uchi's little sister's problems (laugh)
Like that, this can't be said really well but we are a well made group (laugh)



- When Uchi comes back, I want to hug him so hard.



- When at the Christmas Party concert and we were holding hands
and bowing down, there was a space between Ryo and Yasu for one person.
That space was for Uchi.
A girl who was right in front of them with Uchi's uchiwa (the picture board)
"Hiroki's right here" Ryo and Yasu gestured.
The girl started crying and said "Thank you".



- Subaru-kun says harsh things when his tension is high
but he's a real nice person inside.
Being together only the two of us, he's nicer than anyone I'll ever know.
I think his hard way of expressing his feelings is probably the charm Subaru-kun has.


Some of these quotes from ryo made me cry there quotes from all the members of K8 including Uchi so I going to post them in their individual threads sooner or later.

D:
I was so close to crying, but my sister was in the room so I just totally teared up...

... TT3TT
Ryo-kun and Uchi-kun I loovveee youu~~ D:
... <3

Nice quotes. I like the part about his mother.
I never wrote something like that myself. So it's inspiring to see.

But he also said;
- People watching us on TV, think we are so stupid,
it's ok to laugh at us about it.

Does he has no self-respect? I mean, come on!
Why would he let other people laugh at him?
Most people would defend themselfes ne?

And he said;
- Seriously, we can say something’s annoying
when it's annoying to each other and that's our relationship.
Being able to trust each other this much, is it ok to be really this blessed?
I think that at times.

He has a nice question there.
I can understand trust is very important to him.
With all the fans and paparazzi.
He needs people where he can talk to... without thinking it may spread out all over the news.

how long does he wait?? i hope j-san would permit them soon...

etou...most je boys came from broken family ne???

i liked the ones about uchi. especially the one about at the concert and leaving a place for uchi. also i liked the ones about subaru staring at ryo (it's so like subaru) and the on where yassan noticed that there was something worrying ryo.

thanks for sharing.


Fenna i think ryo and all of k8 have a lot self-respect for themselves but in general for them, i think that a lot of baka stuff that they do is partly them and partly to make people laugh. i mean it's a lot about entertaining. well that's my opinion on it. i don't even know if i made sense but yea...


here are some cute chibi ryo gifs.

Oh okay. Then I didn't understand it very well.
I didn't knew he meant that baka haha ^^
By the way you explain it all sounds reasonable again haha. Srry

Nice gifs! So kawaii =^.^= I like the fist one a lot. That smile ahhhhwww *melts*

THX for the gifs!! they are adorable!!!
i like the 1st one better too!!! it is so cute!! especially the smile!!!^^

hello i'm new to this thread. Jess from Singapore here and my favourite is ryo-chan!

just wondering.. does any of you have the original to this photograph? Just saw it and i thought ryo's really cute in there!



isn't chibi ryo just the cutest?

anyone seen a clip of YAMAPI TEAM VS RYO TEAM
in youtube?? i misplaced the link...
i want to know what sho was that
yamapink was wearin casual clothes w/a white baller
in his left hand i think... and the rest of the NewS
were wearing their costumes...
ryos really kawaii here...
anyone, any idea??? thanks

I believe that was from shounen club 20.11.05

this video right? : http://youtube.com/watch?v=zP_OWRgxsKU

embryo_ed: thanks!!! i hope this is the long one...
because the one ive seen was just a short clip
after the 10second thing game...
gomen if i didnt understand that game
there were no subs...

OMFG

It's so cute!! XD
Go Tegoshi!
... O_O Aww... D:

Bwahah, Ryo's so cute here! x3 Hahah... Pi is too but...
...
their all so cute. xDD

Ha ha sugoi!!!
Kusano was sooo cool when he defeated poor Tegoshi.
And Pi when he went to sit in tha seat he went "Puri puri"!!!
And poor Ryo-chan's face when he lost...... ha ha priceless!!!
I love those guys and I missed them. I wanna see new funny moments

Ryo's face was hailorous!!!
i acually paused and look at it for awhile!!
and then i crack up for awhile!!!LOL!!

same here i luv that clip..
the first time i REALLLY saw ryo-kun..
btw whys yamapink not wearing those
costumes???

cora chan: yo! thats tegosh in ur avie right?
he looks kawaii too... hes my 2nd fave i - same w/ryo

I didn't really like him at first.. but after watching a couple of episodes in 1 litre of tears.. he's actually not that bad-looking.. and his character was quite likeable.. Have to say... his acting is good.. and his crying was quite convincing too... XD

WELCOME LOVEANGELBABY!
... his crying is so convincing. TT___TT So so sad~ D: Like... >_<
I can't even explain it's so sad.

Haha about the video, I loved the beginning when they had to choose a person to arm-wrestle, and Pi was like: "UHhh~ UMMM."
And Massu just kept moving away till Pi went up to him and said: "THIS MAN!" XD

... o.o Anyone know what the loser team said when they lost? +_+ My 1/4 japanese does me no good in situations like this. xDD

ava_adore : TEgoshi is adorable! actually...i think i need to change that...it is the same one since...forever...><

loveangelbaby : WELCOME!! hm...i want to ask about your avie!! is the vic and his gf?? and they did a drama series called "MARS"????

hiddenhappiness : i want to know what did they say too!! i just know they said sth in a baby language or sth...i think

yeah! its such a funny scene... but what about that 10second thing?
where they have to sit in this chair w/a big clock behind them...
im guessing thats a 10second game? did u get that? im so dumb
because there was no subs...



cora chan: its fine...hes really cute but he looks very young there...

oh my i should talk about ryo...lolz
well i find ryo kawaii in that game
btw who won that game nway?
was it yamap or ryo?
and why was yamapi in casual clothes there???
any idea anyone??

ma ma ava-chan the others were performing before that's why they were wearing those costumes.
Tomo-kun changed outfits that's all. But he looked great in that t-shirt ne? Puri-puri ha ha

And he won of course. Didn't you see how close he was? 9.8 seconds........sugoi

Anyway on a brighter note I prefer Ryo-chan in Attention Please....... Soooo cute and I love the name Shota

Yamapi's team won...and i don't know why he was the only one in casual clothes...><

xDD Hah umm~ I think for the 10second thing.

You had to see how close you can get to 10seconds without going over?
^-^

was i right??? is that the objective of the game??
tell me if im right??


yay!!!

I think you were.

Haha I alos liked the tug-o-war
x3
Lol~ Massu just... took the robe and wrapped himself in it. xDD

the strongest person is always at the end!! and Massu is really strong!!!!^^
ava chan: you are right!!!^^ Yamapi did such a great job!!!^^
and omg...Massu was so strong!!!

guys whos massu??
sorry im no familiar w/NewS
all i know is yamapi,ryo,tego... erm...
nway i havent seen the whole clip - just that 10second
game and thats it...


hai!!!! when i saw pi in casual clothes - AKIRA SHOCK!
i didnt know he looks sooo GORGEOUS in it!
just a Tee,then lose pants and a white baller...
ooohhhh.... heaven! my perfect ideal man!
ryo on the other hand... i really didnt notice him before
i knew ryo because of uebo - he was always teasing uebo...
and i wanted too kick his ass before (like i used to yamapink before bcoz
of akame) but nway im not yet a ryo fan... hes just look kawaii for me
in some pics... maybe ill change my mind after i watch
1 litre of tears...

ava-chan how can you not like Ryo?
Ok he seems rude some times but he's soooo cute and has the loveliest smile.........
Not to mention he's one of Tomo-kun's oldest and best friend....... So he can't be bad.
Prepare yourself for ichi rittoru no namida........ I cried ichi rittoru........ have your kleenex next to you

gomen gomen... he really didnt catch my eye sensei
even before i watch the summary concert...
i only see KT, yamapi and tegos...
ill check him out later in summary concert...

and to be honest i didnt find him kawaii in 1litre of tears
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME????!!!

Watch Attention Please then. You'll find him kawai.
Oh and the Attention Please special........ sugoi skills with a bow and arrows!
Actually Ryo-chan was the first Japanese actor I saw in a dorama. (well he and Tsumabuki Satoshi-hottt) Ryo-chan led me to Tomo-kun and then Jin so he's very special to me!!!!

ava_adore massu is the other guy that sings the song Miso Soup with tegoshi. massu does look good with and without clothes on. his body is mmm...good. i love him and ryo in Cherish pv. also it's ok if you don't find ryo attractive. it's just like me, i just don't find jin attractive but i do have to admit that he has a great voice.

...and i agree ryo is kawaii in AP but then i think he is kawaii in all his dramas.

there is one NEWS pic that have all the guys shirtless but it's kind of old. i think i have it in my comp at home but i'm not too sure.

also in the 2004 NEWS+KAT-TUN backstage summary, you can see a part where massu is without a shirt. it's kind of funny because he's singing and then he notices the camera is on him and suddenly stops and says something. i think tegoshi was laughing at him too but not too sure.

Ryo isnt' in the summary concert [unfortunately. =_="]
O_O Did you just start watching 1 Litre? Or are you finished? XD
BEcause I didn't find him hot/cute at first, until the end. TT__TT


xDD I REMEMBER THAT PART! XDD

I like Massu.. O_O"
-looks around-

i never find Ryo kawaii....i just find him HOT!! unless he is whining or sth...><

Massu shirtless?? WAHT!!! i don't remember that at all..><

Aaaaa now I remember...... Well it wasn't a very flattering scene of Massu!
But I like him anywayz........He has a very nice face and bone structure!?!

One of my really good friends drew this picture of Ryo for me..

I'm trying to get her to like Ryo..but its really hard to get nonsaian people into jdorama(i'm non-asian myself )

really? it was ryo-kun ur first je- experience? mine was matsu jun...
ok i think im gonna purchase attention pls after i watch 1litre...


i wanna experience the massu-yummy-body too!!!
oh gosh...i think im gonna focus on NewS right now...
im dont w/KT so nxt stop will be NewS..


hahhaha so thats y i didnt discover ryos existence before..
why was he not in that perf nway?
i havent watch 1litre yet... still in pending
because i havent finish watching kames yuuki...
but definitely im gonna watch 1liter after that....
im almost done w/yuuki nway...

Nice drawing! The shadows and the eyes look very good!
Anything-Ryo is good haha

I still need to see his movie! Unfortunately I haven't got any time to watch it! ><

ohaio minna san... may i join u all... i love ryo and i really wanna post this pic because he looks so kawaii...

here is a clip of Massu without a shirt on at the Summary backstage. his expression makes me laugh.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9oc__5v6x8

thank you Fika-chan for that pic. i love his look there too. he just looks so good. welcome!

lovebum4life that drawing of ryo is real nice. i really like how the eyebrows gives that tough look that ryo always have. also, i think it's hard even to get asian girls into je guys. my sis are not into je or japanese dramas...yet. i will convert them one day...i promise.

wahhhhhhh~~ too much to readd T___T
