Time to celebrate another birthday of one of my favourite boys!

Happy Birthday to Shige for his 22nd birthday!

For the occasion I've scanned 22 recent photos. These are from the Winter Party Diamon Concerts and Countdown - plus a bonus.

It's certainly been way too long since we've had a good crop of magazines featuring Yamapi photoshoots.

So Pi has definitely inspired me to add some more magazine scans here. There will be more to come, so I guess I'm  officially branching out.

These scans are also larger than I usually do, but I figure if it's a magazine page you should be able to read the text too - regardless of how well any of us can actually understand it.

To celebrate another birthday, these are more photos that I've not posted before.

I photo for every year he's celebrating. 23 in total (of course!)

I know I don't normally scan the regular montlhy magazines, other than posters. but this month's Popolo kind of moved me to action.

There may have been better scans out there but the ones I downloaded were all a little streaky thanks to the terrible paper that they use for this mag. And the other main thing is that when I finally held the mag in my hand, I realised that the title page was actually part of a Yamapi spread.

And you know how I like a Yamapi spread.

So rather than just do this one page, I have done all the members.

These are scans of the pamphlet and notebook from Shige's current play.

As with the Call pamphlet below, the scans are of the full pamphlet, not just the pages featuring Shige. However, the notebook is mostly blank pages (I think I might actually use it as a notebook) - so I've only scanned the pages with photos.

Not really much to be said about this one. Koyama trapped in a telephone box ... mmm

This is the pamphlet - the full pamphlet, not just the Koyama pages, and with some spreads joined together.
Scans of the KoyaShige postcards can be found here.

Sharing some scans of some of the magazine coverage of Shige in SEMINAR.

These pages are from Best Stage, Oricon Style and TV Guide.

Thanks to a friend who was in Japan to see the Kat-tun concerts in Osaka, I have a copy of the latest issue of Seventeen and couldn't resist scanning the lovely pages of Yamapi, Koyama and Toma!

Hard to resist my favourites all in one place!

I'm sure it will as no surprise to anyone that I just couldn't resist the Koi no ABO pv shop photos.

So I'm here with the Yamapi, Koyama, Shige and group photos. And again pondering the question that since it looks like there was plenty of fun to be had on set that day - why must we only get to see it in still images?

Special thanks also to a wonderful friend and her efforts to secure me these photos of my favourite boys!

And yes, along with the Yamapi photos in my last entry, I also have some Kei-chan pics from the same sets.

Thanks once again to watchful21 for indulging me and securing pics of my favourite boys.

And I just have to add my vote once more for the pressing need to have Ginza Rhapsody on a dvd!

Yes I'm back with more Yamapi photos from the Winter Party Diamond concerts.

What can I say? They like to take photos of Pi and I like to look at photos of Pi. Seems like we're in perfect harmony!


Special thanks to watchful21 for supporting my habit hobby and securing these on her trip to Japan.

Scanned for a friend and here for everyone to share.

(And yes, I cleaned up the crease lines in the fold out spread from the RE - see below)

Happy 25th birthday to a very special man! Here's hoping the year ahead brings him as much joy as he bring us!

And so to celebrate I've scanned 25 photos with the theme of Koyama & friends!

He shouldn't exist in isolation.

Following my post (here) about my friends and I visiting the ramen shop, many people asked me for more information about getting there.

So I've finally put this post together to add a little from my experiences to the information already circulating on the net from other fans. It was thanks to other fan reports that we were able to find our way there.

These scans are from the latest magazines.

There are two posters - each labelled for Koi no ABO - from the May issues of Duet and Potato.

As usual I've pieced them together and cleaned up the fold lines. I've also included the Russ-K t-shirt shots from the back cover of Duet.

Like so many other fans around the world, I couldn't let today go by without a little something to celebrate this very special man turning 24!

So to celebrate (and as an excuse to look at more pics of him) here are 24 scans of photos from my albums that I've not posted to my lj before.

These are my scans of the KoyaShige postcard sets as well as the Call onesheet flyer.

I promised these to a couple of friends and having had a major hard drive crash recently, I also kind of like the idea of having somewhere to keep even scanned copies of my treasured goodies.

I particularly like that the KoyaShige postcard sets also have the line above the big writing on the back that reinforces that this was a trip to New York that was just the two of them.

So it was inevitable -  I've scanned the NEWS 09-10 Calendar.

It's a tricky item. A four ring A4 binder whose contents are designed to be attached to the two included plastic ends in various combinations and hung on the wall. So each picture has holes from the binder and creases from being folded into the binder.

And in answer to requests, these scans remove the holes, join all the sections of each picture together to make a whole image and get rid of the creases.

Very pretty ...

These are the Call pages from the April 2009 issues of Best Stage and Look at Star.

These are the post-production coverage focusing on photos from the actual production.

These are a few extracts from the Call pamphlet.

The character profiles and a message from the original screenwriter are accessible to us without the need of a translator. It's quite an impressive list of names that have been associated with this project in the past, all leading up to Koyama.

And reading this run-down only makes me more disappointed that I'll never have the chance to see him live on stage.
