My Yamapi sketch and a little about Koi no ABO

A new banner! *yay* Seriously, this guy is more recognisable from his lips than his eyes... o_O

I'm writing Yamapi a fanletter and I thought I should draw him something... Since I'm supposed to be "artistic" (I go to (well I've almost graduated ^^) a visual arts high school)... Then I also thought I should draw him a pic of himself since it's a fanletter after all. So I made a skecth of him with pencil. This is what it came down to:

(The scanner messed it up like they tend to do with pencil sketches. T_T) I'm actually pretty satisfied with the job I did... Don't know if it looks like him though. X_X What do you think? For people who don't know how Yamapi looks (shame on you!) this is the photo I draw it from: I'm sorry I can't credit for the scan but I seriously can't remember where I got it! It was someone in news_jpop community over at lj and I really tried searching for the uploader but couldn't find it so no credits, sorry. T_T If this is your scan then please tell and I'll credit (/take down). (As if she would ever come across my blog...)

As you can see I pretty much just copied that photo... So calling it "fanart" might be a little overstated. Although that's what portraits are right, copying a person's face... Anyway I chose this photo because I seriously LOVE his smile over anything! It's so gentle!!! There are people like Massu and Tegoshi who always have huge smiles on their faces and look really cute but there's something different with Yamapi... Like everybody knows he rarely smiles in photoshoots because he can't bring himself to fake a smile so you can really see him smile like this only at concerts! He really loves his fans! ♥ Of course he smiles at variety shows too since they're a lot of fun but in concerts his smile is somehow different! So lovely～ ♪♫♪

BTW, the covers of Koi no ABO are out and also a full radio preview (it aired like an hour ago :D)! Here's the covers from Johnny's official site:

And of course the limited version cover doesn't even include the members... Well, what do I care, it comes with a 12-page photobook and well, I'm buying both versions anyway! :) Everybody''s been reacting to these with one word: HOSTS! And also complaining that the poses are the exact same that they had in their concert pamphlet.

And finally, here's the song (of very poor quality unfortunately):

(Credits to pinkujisatsu) For some stupid reason vox doesn't let me embed songs I've uploaded myself. The code is all messed up :( Anyway to better stuff: OMG Tegoshi sounds so good!!! The bridge he sings is ♥♥♥! I'm looking forward to this 100%!!!

I HAVE to post a few more photos of Yamapi. And I'm again sorry not to credit (it's so easy with H!P, people don't seem to care much about crediting! :)). I'm a horrible person for not remembering where I got each scan... But I really need to put up more photos of him! Oh well, they are probably from this community anyway: news_jpop... And maybe several random places...

Cause we all just love that one... ^^
