Picture of the Day: Takada Sho and the Dark Side of Johnnys

I'm sure that this picture was taken quite a while back, probably right after he started Battery.  Before Misaki left.  Before Kishi joined the group.  Before Hiroki and Keigo were brushed aside.

Happier times.

Johnny's is both a beautiful and a frightening world.  You can either reach your dream or not.  Always feel that you're almost there or that you were so close and then it just...slips away.  I hope that Sho will find a way to persevere, along with Ryo and Hiroki and Keigo and Kishi.  It's really too bad about Misaki.  Oh Johnny.  

Pictures of the Day: Takada's works of art

  

of Inocchi sensei: round 1

Round 2

Improved Inocchi sensei

 

(nods) Sho is a good student.  

 

  

  

  

I laughed when I saw the pro caricature artist draw Sho and Keito.  Keito was spot on but Sho....it does look like him but...

 

  

  

Picture of the Day:

 

  

  

  

He looks like he could be broadcasting news in this last screen shot.

Picture of the Day: 高田翔 Takada Sho's album cover (I wish)

 

Doesn't this look like an album cover????

Picture of the Day: Point Boy Sho

Takada Sho needs no words.

I was so happy to see his face clearly on shokura.  Even if he was just a point boy.  He really does need more meat on him.

Picture of the Day: Is it DESTINY?? Takada Sho and Nakajima Kento???

I thought about this a lot.  This shot is so sweet.  It was in last year's jr. calendar.  Right now I don't have a scanner but I had my camera so I took this picture of Sho.

It's so beautiful!!!  And Kento!  They all look great.  I was just happy to see the Nightingale team together.

They all have such sweet smiles.  And one cannot forget the skinship.  hahahah.

Sho's arms around Kento.  Keigo's arm casually around Fuma and Ryo's hand on Misaki's shoulder.  This is too cute for words. 

Picture of the Day: We are Not Alone

I was watching an episode of Shokura from 2009 and during the opening sequence the camera panned out into the audience.

Here is today's picture(s) of the day: fan signs!!!

This one is written in neon yellow. 

高田

And this next one in neon pink!

Can you see it?

(Sho is on the right in black.  I wonder if he can see the signs too?)

I just about died when I saw two fan signs with Takada's name. I assume there is only one Takada?? And that is (my) Sho. Not one fan sign but TWO!!! He has supporters(if only a small amount)!!

I felt it was worthy for picture of the day.

Sho following in Fujigaya's footsteps??? / Picture of the Day

I saw the hair from the latest Hyakushiki and my jaw dropped.

But then again, he works well with any style...I was just shocked.

The short "cool" soccer clips were really for the fangirls...like me.

It threw me off, hearing Sho's cool, level masculine actor's voice. It's such a reversal from his normal tone that I didn't know what to say.

I rewatched Sho's parts in Nightingale. Still cool. But I had to laugh at how deep his voice was. So serious.

 

This is his actor's shock.  Very different from his eyes popping out normal shock.

 

This is his, "I don't trust you old man!" glare.  Very convincing.  There's a vulnerability in that face.

 

Oh Kento...this picture is a crime.

 

Slowly accepting reality.  Un.  

 

An angel????  Must be.  

 

And this...Sho's trademark smile.  This is more like his real self.  Carefree, grinning from ear to ear.

Sho's Eyes...are very Expressive.

His eyes....he's right.  He does have big eyes.  They bulge out of his sockets when he's shocked.

 

This is priceless.

This too.

I noticed this early on but it's still hilarious.  His eyes...

He's very passionate about food.  Whenever there's a food segment, he's more open and willing to share his opinions.  

"What the heck is this???  Tastes weird."

"I don't even want to say anything.  It's that wrong."

"Deta!  Unexpectedly delicious!!!!"

"Looking forward to the next one!"

"Yum...Let me savor the taste."

 "Let me explain to you why it is so delicious."

 "You're kidding me right?  No.  Hell no.  I can't even chew it properly."

He's serious about his taste buds.  I don't remember where I saw it, but he said that he enjoyed sour things like umeboshi (pickled plums).  He likes that extra bite.

Picture of the Day: Brightens up my World

Picture of the Day: Sho's Charm Point

 

Ookawa Keigo: On the left side of my face, is plainly, my mouth.  (I think he's trying to say that he's a plain person, but his charm point is that his mouth is situated more to the left of his face.)

Nakada Hiroki: My endlessly frizzy hair.

Takada Sho:  Big eyes.

Masuda Ryo: Pretty black hair.

Picture of the Day: a group of dancing ikemen....ikeboys

 

I had this picture of him up before as a picture of the day, but isn't it crazy?  He just oozes coolness.  His usual dance members are here too.  Ookawa Keigo, row one, second to the end.  Nakada Hiroki in the third row, second to the end and Masuda Ryo in the last row, second from the left.  Kishi appears to not be there.  

Picture of the Day

 

Once again, from Silence of the Nightingale SP, Team Batista.

This is from a magazine.

And I just had to include this.  The filming was around his birthday and so he got surprise flowers from his castmate/senior Ito Atsushi and a bento? from Nakajima Kento.  He looks so happy!  His birthday is Sept 14.  He turned 16.

Picture of the Day: Takada Sho's Smile is Beautiful

Keep smiling.  I wish he could be carefree like this forever.  It always amazes me how well he matches short hair.  His bone structure is just so fantastic that when the hair is gone, we get to see Sho simply as Sho.  He's one of the few Johnny's who could do that and actually pull it off.  I'm trying to imagine Takki or Yamapi bald and it's...not right.  Yamada Ryosuke bald???  Yuma bald???  I don't think they would be laughing at all.

Picture(s) of the Day: Smoldering

 

めちゃカッコイイよ。  His voice sounds deepened in this drama.

His eyes!  The camera just eats him up.  

But of course, the smiling Sho is best.  Although I don't mind this tall, dark and handsome image that he's been given.

Picture of the Day: Peace!!!

I wish I had a better quality picture of this.  But it's cute.

Can you guess who they all are???
