~Happy Birthday - NEWS

Happy 24th birthday Pi! I'm only 20 years old but when you were 20 you were already doing great things! How I wish I could be you, and had your determination, had your talents (in learning) and your great personal relation skills. I will be working on your birthday,and I hope your birthday can bring me more strength to work!

So, I really think you're a great artist and I don't and will not regret supporting you. You really have great talents and you have worked very hard thus far. I really love how you're determined and you can really put all your mind to doing something. As time goes by, your skills are improving and they are shown in dramas and albums! I really love how you starred as "Aizawa Kousaku" in Code Blue and like what you've said in Kurosagi Movie interview before, I feel that you're the only one who can act as "Aizawa" and no one can surpass you on that. Just like how you're the only one who can act as "Kurosaki". It will soon be 2 years of supporting you, and probably already 2 years of knowing you. And sooner it will be 2 years of supporting your group, NEWS.

I have always loved your performances during NEWS performances. What got me into supporting you was also your voice and your performance. And I have to admit, your singing skill has really improved! I was so glad to hear your singing during "Summer Time" because I knew you could do it and you did it! To be frank, your singing skills may not be perfect, or should I say as comparable to Tego or Ryo yet, I really appreciate it so much whenever you tried to sing live. Because it is the effort that counts. Moreover, hearing your voice will truly remind me that you're really present. So I will really look forward to the day when you can sing live for the full song, and I want to be present during that time too! Actually, I hope you can sing live for the next concert, because I will be attending! Please give me a wink and smile when you see my uchiwa! I wouldn't dream about catching your autograph card because that would be a chance in a million. But if there is really a chance, I hope I can meet you along the streets and ask for a handshake with you. Do you know I'm already imagining about the scene? Of meeting you? *laughs* I will ask for a handshake, and I'll definitely let you know I'm a Singaporean (as well as Ag being a Polish). And I'll even ask you this, "Shashin wo totte ikemasenka?". I know the answer will be "Hai, ikemasenyo.", but seriously inside my heart, I'm hoping for a "Iie, iiyo." from you. Actually from what I had written just now, I just wanted to get closer to the aisle so that if you happened to run past, I could just try to have a handshake with you.

Now that you've already brushed up your acting and singing skills, I hope you can brush up your MC/hosting skills too! And before we fans know it, NEWS will finally have their own programme! Being yours and NEWS' fan for almost two years, I've changed a lot, in terms of fan behaviours. I used to only focus on you, and also lesser focus on the performances and improvements within you and NEWS. But now I've grown to become a more matured fan (I think) and I believe this is because of NEWS and you. Without NEWS and you, I wouldn't have a more enriched life and living positively. I had some troubles with me just now and I used NEWS to encourage myself! Well, though the thought of the songs made me wanted to tear slightly, but I braced myself and I lasted through the thing! I'm so glad for the presence of NEWS and you.

I love you because you're the one whom I'm really admired of in NEWS. And I love you more because you introduced me to such a wonderful group called NEWS. And I love you most because you're the leader of NEWS and you really have great potential in being a leader and guiding them well. I know you can do it and one day all the barriers within NEWS will be overcome.

So Pi, I thank you for being in this world, for bringing joy to my life and for being the support of my life. Please continue to grow more from now onwards. I want to watch you shine. I want to watch you leading NEWS to a greater height. Please always take care of yourself and never give up. I will follow this rule too. *laughs*

Lastly, Happy Birthday to you! (Actually I'm not late right? Because you're born at 1001, and now it's only 0536, so I'm still 4 hours + earlier!)

I love Yamashita Tomohisa

I love NEWS
