山下 翔央 -Yamashita Shoon-


quoting KAT-TUN: "falling in the crazy love.."
it's one of my favourite songs by KAT-TUN, BTW.

okay, now onto the topic of this post. it's about Yamashita Shoon, a cute and funny-without-trying-hard heartthrob. he's an ex-Johnny. he was in Ya-Ya-Yah, a temporary junior unit. Ya-Ya-Yah was dissolved in November 2007 but he still wasn't assigned into any real group. he only appeared in magazines and in TV shows as a junior. then, he thought hard about deciding his path in life. he figured that staying as a junior for a long time wouldn't benefit him. (two other members of Ya-Ya-Yah debuted as members of Hey!Say!Jump! in September 2007. and another member quited Johnny agency in November after that.) BTW, he has one year left before completing his studies as a law student. so, in February 2010, he officially left Johnny agency.

from a fan's point of view, it's sad that he's no longer in JE (Johnny's Entertainment) 'cos it has been fun watching him on shows. but for his sake, it's true that he's better off being a non-Johnny if he's not going to debut soon. Shoon's the kind of guy with a solid vision in his life. so, it's understandable that he doubted whether or not it would serve him any good if he stayed.

the whole thing is sad but necessary. :( i miss him. a lot of people do.

back then, when Ya-Ya-Yah was still around

and the "crazy" thing about it is...i only came to pay attention to him this year. I HATE MYSELF FOR THAT! but "crazily" enough, i couldn't stop ever since. tasukete! see, it just that i don't usually bother to be as supportive to the juniors of JE as i am to the debuted groups. 'cos JE has QUITE A NUMBER of debuted groups and LOTS of juniors. and from the first time i saw Shoon, i wanted to see more of him. he's funny, adorable, lovely, and his smile is super sweet. super sweet, i tell you!


so, Yamashita Shoon was born on the 20th of December 1988 in Tokyo. he's a Sagittarius with blood type A. his younger brother, Reon is also an ex-Johnny. the two of them quite recently joined force to set up a blog for their fans. it's called Flying Sheep's Cafe. the site is closed now, temporarily, i hope.

Shoon, we really miss you. we support you always.

zutto ni daisuki!
