"X times Y" ... Bakanishi!!

[sumo_mona]

I forced my friends V & W to watch SUMMARY's backstage with me since we were bored and I just finished downloading it and we ended up talking about it later online. They know all of NEWS' 8, but only half of KAT-TUN. So first impressions:
W: "taguchi = changmin look alike. ueda = the super fugly creeper*. koki = friendless creeper but he was funny. nakamaru = the only one i knew other than jin and kame in the first place but hes massus best friend and hes MC with koyama (god why cant i remember gov stuff that easily =_=) kame = he was the best charachter in nobuta, but apparently he sucks. jin = is pregnant with yamapis child. "
*her words, not mine D:

If someone not in fandom AT ALL (I force it down her throat, but that doesn't count :Dv) thinks that... well, that says something.


There's not really anything new in here and it's not very thorough. So it's basically a picspam with fangirling and tons of sparkles. But I still want to type this:
PIN PIMP POST


So what is Pin you ask?

trufax, yo.

Pin is the fanpairing of NEWS' Yamashita Tomohisa (Yamapi) and KAT-TUN's Akanishi Jin.
I am assuming that you know who they are to be looking at this.
The word/name "Pin" is actually pronounced "peeeen" because that's what Japanese is supposed to be like, but I'm American and I butcher languages.

Picspam time!:

















I don't have as many Pin pictures as KoyaShige or RyoUchi ones, but that's because they aren't in the same group. I'll make up for that in a bit with screencaps.
They're paired together for the same reason KoyaShige & RyoUchi are-- they're best friends foreverrr♥


I've heard that Jin was Yamapi's first kiss. Like he accidentally fell on top of Pi and they kissed or something. But I don't know where this is from T___T Thanks, musikologie!
Yamapi said in Myojo 2004.11's 1000 questions with NEWS that his first kiss was with Jin:

63. When was your first kiss?
At 19 years old. But, that was with Akanishi (lol). During a performance of “SUMMARY” our lips accidentally touched.

Other mentions of Jin in that interview include:

♥ 43. What did you recently laugh a lot about?
When I think about Akanishi Jin’s existence, I laugh. Aah, since Akanishi Jin is one of the treasures I was talking about earlier.

♥ 54. What would you like your girlfriend to call you?
Someone who normally calls me Pi, but also makes use of “Tomohisa”

♥ 117. Say something about your good friend Akanishi Jin.
Well, as it is I might love him.

I've also heard that they got their belly piercings together. I don't know if they got them done together or not, but I'm not wasting this opportunity to spam you with Pi-belly :)
Yamapi: 001 | 002 | 003
Jin: 001 (I think people should donate to this collection~)

They go on dates together:

an old one (2004/2005ish?)





You can read about the 2008 one at myfirstgossipblog, news_jpop, watchful21, or this Chinese blog.

They party together:

(They were also at this party together, but I don't have pictures of it. I think there was a picture of Jin with BENI at this one.)

Jin was at Yamapi's 24th birthday (along with Kusano in the picture & I heard that Ohkura was there too):

Source says that the guys hung out together and sent all the girls home. Interpret that however you like.

On an episode of Cartoon KAT-TUN, each member of KAT-TUN had to "propose" to Leah Dizon.


Jin used lyrics from Justin Timberlake's 'My Love.'

Well, baby I've been around the world
But I ain't seen myself another girl (like you)
This ring here represents my heart
But there's just one thing I need from you (say "I do")

Yeah, because
I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach, our toes in the sand


Yamapi completed the lyrics at the bottom of his 2009 Christmas message at the Johnny's fanclub.

Speaking of married Pin... let's look at their interview together from this January's Popolo.
Y: We became friends really naturally. The fact that we both went home in the same direction might have been really important.
A: It was so natural that I don't really remember it (laugh).
Y: Lovers sometimes say things like, "I fell in love with him/her gradually without realizing it." It's kind of like that.

You can read about them going to Hawaii via LA here! (and here's one more scan) (← scans taken from watchful21!)

They went to each other's solo concerts ♥

Jin guested at Yamapi's solo con during the second show at Yokohama Arena on 2009.11.23.
Fanreports: 001 | 002 | 003



Download a zip of 21 pics of Jin at Pi's concert here (most are from watchful21)

Jin composed a song for a friend who was going to be married called 'Eternal.' Yamapi and Jin sang it during the MC. Download an mp3 of Eternal here. Lyrics are here.

Yamapi guested at Jin's solo concert, YOU&JIN on 2010.02.27 during the second show. He's the one who screams "Jin-kun~~~" in this short recording of the MC.

The most current ~Pin moment~ in Pi's jweb as of making this post was on 2010.04.02 when Pi said: "Yesterday, after many years, I slept together with Jin."

Pin + others
Other people often squished in a Pin sandwich are Kame, Kusano, Ryo, and Mabudachi/U-kun/Shirota Yuu.
→ Jin hanging out with Yuu-kun
→ Jin with Ryo (I don't need to give you pictures of Ryopi, right? :P)
→ Ryo, Yamapi, Jin, Akanishi Reio (Jin's brother), Shirota Yuu, and others
→ Reio, Yuu-kun, Yamapi, & Abiru Yuu
→ Kame is because the three of them were paired up for photoshoots and Kusano is because that would be hot.

*~*~*~ Mini blurb on the famed "Akanishi troops" ~*~*~*
- The Akanishi troops include Akanishi Jin, Yamashita Tomohisa, Nishikido Ryo, Shirota Yuu, and at times, Kusano Hironori.
- Jin hangs out with Crystal Kay and through connections with her, BENI and BoA.
- Yamapi acted with Mizobata Junpei in Buzzer Beat and goes out to eat with him. Junpei said on his Hanamaru Cafe appearance that he eats out with Jaejoong and Yamapi at times.
- Jaejoong, Yamapi, and Jin were supposedly at Lady Gaga's Tokyo after party on 2010.04.20 at Tabloid nightclub (for the MAC viva glam campaign) to which Crystal Kay was also rumored to show up to.
- Yoochun, Jaejoong's best friend and fellow member of DBSK, was seen wearing a hat from Shirota Yuu's big brother, Jun's, relatively unknown brand.
- Shirota Yuu and Yamapi have a separate little friends group including Kanada from comedy duo 'Hannya,' and Ryo from the jpop band ORANGE RANGE.
- Ryo showed up to Jin's solo concert (001, 002) and they wrote a song titled 'Hey Girl' together.
- New photos of Kusano showed up 2010.04 on Yamapi's friend's jewelery site.
- Shortly after Kusano's appearance modeling on that site, he was pictured with Jin's little brother Reio and Jin's random white friend named Josh (whom I know nothing about), JYAN~.

ANYWAYS.

Jin got a necklace for Yamapi, Yuu-kun, and himself.




Yamapi wearing it: 001 | 002 | 003 | 004

They also both wear this one red necklace:

I've seen Yamapi wear it many times, but I don't really keep up with Jin so I don't have many pictures of him wearing it. (Same with the woman necklace above :x)

This is kinda unrelated to everything, but I am easily amused. On kattunlove, someone asked about Jin's current necklace and apparently the company that made it also makes "Sexy Mola" necklaces. Here and here if you want to buy either. (apparently, these necklaces are all from Shirota Jun's brand! thanks sion_yukiya~)


Capspam time!

When I think of SUMMARY, I think of Pin. They pretty much own the entire backstage part of the DVD.

...You know what, just watch the videos. SUMMARY is why most Pin fans become Pin fans. They kick each other, they come up with signatures, they have a gay friendship handshake that ends in a heart. Rewatching SUMMARY is why I made this post. If you don't want to download the whole thing (which you can find here), I've uploaded cuts below.

Shounen Club - Yamapi as Mr. X. Jin has a VTR:



Just download it and watch it, it's not that long.


Shounen Club - they host the summer special
A lot of the highlights of this video can only be seen in video form, but here, have caps anyways:










QoP DVD: Yamapi was a guest at a KAT-TUN concert during their Queen of Pirates tour and the footage of him at the encore made the DVD.

While KAT-TUN's Real Face-ing, Jin runs off to go get Pi.







awwww




and pokes his butt while he runs up onto the stage.


Pin cuddle after Pi throws Jin's sign board.



If you can ignore shirtless Ueda, you can see that Yamapi and Jin keep on looking at each other. Oh boy, I sound like those Akame fans who spazz when they look at each other on Cartoon KAT-TUN. Oh well, I might as well be, I'm just as gone at this point xP


They go in a hanamichi together.

And later when the camera zooms out, it totally looks like they brought their faces closer to each other to...



See? :P

Music Station: Yamapi was on for Loveless and Jin was on as part of LANDS for BANDAGE.
During Yamapi's talk segment, Tamori asks him if he knows Jin's weaknesses:





They also act all cute and dorky together during the Minisute part:






Takeuchi Yoshie is so a Pin fangirl :D

And just so you know, the cuts have a few extra seconds in the beginning and end. Windows Movie maker died on me so I downloaded some random program (freevideocutter.com) and it's not very good.

If you just want porn, look at this amazing anan manip by sekirara_shen.

Read the author's ratings and warnings before you get mad at me for not warning you. Here are a few of my personal favorites:

I should've incorporated these into the post... but I didn't.












Yamapi wrote the song 'World Is Yours' on his 3rd solo single, One In A Million. He said that he wrote it for a close friend. As a delusional fangirl, I would like to think that it's for Jin regarding his recent departure from KAT-TUN:

透明の道　 色付くよ 不思議なほど　鮮やかに
両手いっぱい　筆を持って さぁ　描けよ　誰にも描けない　明日を
I can fly　できない事なんてない 大空 羽ばたく　未来が見える
Trust yourself 信じて　君の力 大空 羽ばたく　翼があるだろ
World is yours~

Let's paint the transparent path with a miraculous vividness
Hold on to the brush with both hands, let's paint. Let's paint the tomorrow that no one else could.
I can fly, nothing is impossible. Spread your wings towards the sky, and you can see the future.
Trust yourself, believe in your strength. Just fly towards the sky, you have wings, right?
World is yours~

Japanese lyrics transcribed by Facebook's A-chan, translated by me with jisho.org and summer course knowledge.

What more do you need? They advertise it themselves. Pi shows Jin off in a non idol magazine. Jin's dog's named Pin, okay. Jin's mother chose that name. It's nice that his mother is supportive of this relationship. /bricked.

Spread the Pin love! \o/
Feel free to correct me / add on! :D
and just let me know if links are messed up or I have to reupload anything
...or if you're a subber and you don't want your stuff here :(

Please don't bother any of the sources with requests (like, if an original post is locked, don't add the person just to see that post)-- just ask me and I'll hopefully be able to help.

I started this in December 2009, and finished it July 2010. I apologize for it being choppy and not flowing together, but I did it in chunks spread over a long time period. I know that it isn't as professional and cool as other pimp posts, but I tried ;__;


EDIT: DON'T HOTLINK, PEOPLE. I just got a warning email about my bandwidth from Photobucket.
EDIT 2: DAMMIT MY BANDWIDTH EXCEEDED. I'm not going to bother reuploading all of these pictures. My limit will reset August 18th. I wonder why Photobucket didn't remove my images yet though it sent me an email... It's all gone ;__; I hope you hotlinkers are happy.
