My first post will begin with me admitting something about myself.
I am a self-proclaimed dorama junkie. I have watched many Asian dramas so far, ranging from the happy, hard-to-believe Taiwanese drama Brown Sugar Macchiato to the much more serious Japanese drama Byakuyako.
And then comes my love for Yamaki. Out of all the dramas I have watched, Nobuta wo Produce and Kurosagi have been my favorites. Why? Well, because of the fact that Yamashita Tomohisa and Horikita Maki both act as the main characters. Their chemistry is really good–throughout NwP I couldn’t help but somewhat ignore Kame and just focus on Akira and Nobuta’s moments. Same goes for Kurosagi.
Time to get realistic, though. There’s a pretty slim chance that these two will ever actually get together. I’m not saying it might not happen, I’m just saying that it would be hard for these two. For one, Yamapi is part of Johnny’s, which has a strict no-girlfriend policy. Does that mean everyone follos it? Not exactly. So there’s hope. Then comes the fact that Yamapi has mentioned that he likes “exotic-looking” women and that he and Akanishi Jin have the same tastes. Horikita Maki is really pretty and really cute, but exotic? Hmmm…
Who knows? When you feel like you’re falling for someone and they don’t meet your standards, a lot of people think “screw it” and chase after them. There have been some cute Yamaki moments during interviews and such, but nothing drastic (which clearly makes me sad). I watched a small portion of an interview Yamapi and Maki had I believe before the release of Kurosagi the Movie, and in this interview (like many others) the hosts were beginning to ask more personal questions, such as “Do you think so-and-so is handsome?” Maki was asked a question similar to this, but she only smiled and said that she thought Yamapi was very cool. Yamapi seemed a little embarrassed when this was said, and all I could do was wait for more, only to be disappointed when I realized that the little moment was all I was going to get. Maki has said before that she can’t see her co-workers in any other light…but is that what her heart is telling her? He he he he…
I just hope that these two will work together again. Like I said before, Yamapi and Horikita Maki have great on-screen chemistry. They made the dramas so interesting…and the sexual tension during that small clip when Maki was somewhat trapped by Yamapi during the Kurosagi movie! Ugh, it just about made me melt…
