Funny he looks so comfortable with it since he said on JaniBen this week he'd never held a katana before he went to the katana museum on that show. I mean, I'm sure they filmed JaniBen ages ago, but they probably filmed the PV soon after that!

Ah, I didn't know that! ^^ As ever I am biased when it comes to Yoko, but I think in the video the three who look the most comfortable wielding swords were Yoko, Maru and Ryo (which would make sense for Ryo seeing the dramas that he's done.)

I also think they all look absolutely stunning in those outfits - I am a sucker for traditional-style Japanese clothing. I loved Yasu's!

Yeah, the guy was saying how it's about as heavy as a baseball bat, but I was totally calling BS on that because that was my sport and when I went to the katana exhibit and tried picking one up, I almost fell over. Plus no way the Sports Boy Yasu and Mr Boxer Yoko would be like OMG so heavy!! If it were only bat weight. But thank heavens that and Yasu cuddling a newborn baby were on that episode because the female guest was ridiculously awful ( ... )

I guess it also depends on whether it's an actual metal katana or a stage prop made of something lighter. I've never held a genuine katana other than a replica one and I would imagine that's far lighter than an authentic one! I've held re-enactment Medieval European swords and they were heavy enough, although I gather katanas are lighter. It's cool that you did baseball! The closest I've ever got is rounders, which is our (possibly far duller) British equivalent.

I haven't seen that JaniBen - I don't really watch them without subs, as I wouldn't know what was going on. Sounds cute though.

I don't know as much about Tacchon, sorry! ^^; You'd be the expert on his dramas. All I know is that I have watched Samurai Sensei far more times than any sane person should.

I'd love to see any of the Kanjani8 guys get married. The photos of the reception alone (if all of them were there) would just about finish me off. I really hope they can do that one day - it would be a shame for all that gorgeousness to go to waste. I want ( ... )

I KNOW RIGHT

I have a weakness for traditional-style Japanese clothing anyway (although this outfit is not exactly traditional!) but Yoko wearing it looks stunning!

I definitely need to write some Bakumatsu-era Yoko...

I completely agree with you ! I'm always happy when they wear a traditional clothing, it's beautiful <3

I definitely need to write some Bakumatsu-era Yoko...
--> I hope one day you'll write that kind of story *-*
