WHo played Tajima Shingo?

[scottishlass]

Anyone know who played Tajima Shingo - the bad guy in BOSS ep. 4 & 5? My goodness, I watched ep5 raw and I fell in love with his voice. It is so soft spoken, yet hoarse AND this guy has the most amazing long eye-lashes LOL

OMG!! I found him - Yamada Takayuki .. he played in WATER BOYS and also in Megumi no Daigo, Byakuyako ... and Densha Otoko. I knew I had seen him before ... or better yet I knew I had heard his voice before.

He looks fierce and HOT! ^^

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Yeah to both ... and a mere 3 years ago he was still a chubby-cheeked kid (http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Image:YamadaTakayuki1024.jpg). Then after Taiyou no Uta he takes a break because he got his girl-friend preggers, and he is now a single dad. And all of a sudden he is tall, fierce, has that long hair.
Sometimes life's not fair ... I wish I was younger so I could savely fangirl him LOL

OMG! I just realised who he is! This is kinda a bit shocking! He was just a cutie before, and NOW - he turned into a SEXY HOTTIE!!!! For awhile I thought he was Jo Odagiri, you know sporting that long hair and sending I'M SO SEXY vibe, and then when I checked the chubby cheeked kid, I'm in disbelief. LOL I don't understand it either, young boys are turning into HOTTIES! I can sometimes feel guilty to fangirl young boys. LOL Btw, besides the hottness, I can say that he's a remarkable actor as well. ^^

I haven't heard the longest from Odagiri Jo, is he still in the business or does he only doing CMs for hair dying products at the moment? *shrug*

I guess the responsibility of being a single dad made him all grow up and letting his hair grow LOL
But seriously, who would have thought he would turn out like this, right? I can still remember him as clean-cut Daigo, who wanted to be a hero fireman. It is strange with Japanese guys - they either all seem to bloom late into hotness (Kimura only when he turned 22) or they look like total girls in early years (Tegoshi, some vk guys).

He is one of my absolute favourite jdrama actors! Such a good crier.

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Yep, and I liked him very much in Byakuyako - that last scene grips me evrey time :)

What threw me was the hotness factor all of a sudden :D

lol Yamada Takayuki
I personally do not like this look at all ^^; he looks like a homeless *cough*
but he's been looking similar before

anyway, I so know what you mean
or better yet I knew I had heard his voice before
sometimes when I think I know someone but I'm not sure, if they speak I will know who it is XD
or sometimes if you can only hear the voice I will still recognize who it is before I get a look *g*
I think it's JE's "fault" because I eventually learned to distinguish ~70+ Johnnys by voice =.=°

I'm not that good, though I can keep all voices straight from SMAP to NewS ... which I find amazing for me as I'm usually bad with voices. The only problem I have is that Kimura and Ikuta sometimes have the same speech pattern, then it is really ifficult to differentiate between the two, though Ikuta's voice is still a bit higher than Kimura's.

For me it was daisenpai to Juniors, but these days I'm starting to forget because of lack of exposure...
I'm a very sound focused person. To be honest I used to be not so good at telling apart voices before JE though XD
Toma and Kimura? I don't think they sound anything alike but oh well^^

The only problem I have is that I can't tell Shinhwa's singing voices apart, no matter what I do. (Well, not Minwoo, Dongwan and Hyesung)

he's also playing in MW, a movie with Tamaki Hiroshi. Will be released on July 4th in Japan.

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

I definitely need to check this movie out - i wanted to wait if it gets subbed whether or not looking forward to this movie, but now I don't care ... Tamaki together with this guy with long hair ... sign me up :)

[qnuy.livejournal.com]

I bought MW Visual Book (similar to photo book) and Yamada Takayuki looks so hot there. His hair isn't that long in the movie, but there are some pages with him with that hair.

I like him best in Waterboys and Byakuyakou

i so badly wanna watch ep 5 but i can't coz i still need the subs. yup, yamada takayuki, the one in crying out love, in the center of the world, he was also in lunch queen. i wouldn't have recognized him if i hadn't seen him with oguri promoting crows zero (2?) sporting that dirty long-haired look.

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

I think I understood about 60 to 70% percent of what they have bene saying ... the police jargon not so much or Boss' profiling seemed a bit off IMHO but then I could have misunderstood her.

What surprised me is that Yamada Takayuki has morphed into this hot bundle of manly ruggedness :) I definitely like him with his hair back its original colour than that off-auburn/brown colour he had till 2007.

I need an icon :)
