For his dramas and movies, it's HERE. I haven't watch any of his dramas. Yeah, it's because I'm a sore loser. :P
My thoughts:
It took me a lot of days to gather motivation in making Shige's profile. *Bows again & again* I mean, LOL, I'm having my summer vacation right now so I'm maximizing it by watching dramas. But I'm not stating that putting up Shige's profile was a bother, it's just that HTML is a bother. You get me? >.< I should get my NEWS dose or I might forget that I'm a fan of NEWS. LOL. I'm kidding. I mean, where's NEWS? They aren't doing anything as a group lately! Ryo is busy with the three singles Kanjani8 is releasing. Yamapi is busy with his solo concerts, even on other countries. And the last from TegoMass is Aoi Bench. I dunno about the bestfriends - Koyama & Shige. :| C'mon, NEWS! Please release a single soon! Anyway, why am I talking about NEWS entirely? Shige's looks so different in the photo above! And Shige, I would never forget your stripping at Shounen Club, please do it again. LOL. XD I'm sorry, this pervy lady is appearing. :D There you have it! Shige's profile~ Until my next post. :)
