My thoughts:
Here's my thoughts again. Yeah, IKR. It totally took me years to post this one and there are so few trivia, MatsuKen isn't much interesting for me and I have a cold right now, so it's double the laziness. *sniff* I only love him on Death Note, yeah, I even imitate L's movements because I so love his portrayal of it. I didn't know it was him when I first watch 1 Liter of Tears, I am never a fan of bald guys! and I totally hate his character there! I just learned it was him when I searched about the drama. I got tired listing his movies! There are so many, deshou? I love him also in Nana the Movie! But I got disappointed that he didn't continue his role for the 2nd movie. (They said it was because of the artist's schedule so there were many changes in the casting! Imagine, even the lead role got changed! I mean, there are lots of Japanese artist out there, right?) But it's okay, I totally love the guy who got the role anyway, Hongo Kanata~! I learned that MatsuKen might be married soon to Koyuki? Oh, lucky guy, Koyuki is such a beauty! Age really never matters, ne? I'll be rooting for the two of them! Ja. *sniff* :)
Oh wait, there's more!
