[This series is a play on ‘writer’s block’.] [This may or may not be a trope.] So I spent the entire morning disinfecting and cleaning my kitchen counter. This saga started a few days ago when I noticed a baby cockroach crawling on the kitchen floor. I went into immediate panic and sprayed it with…
The names Nino gives him regardless, Jun is also known by the characters he has played onscreen–whether on the small or silver screen. If you look at old videos of Arashi, you would probably find it easy to guess which year it was based on Jun’s looks. He is known to change his looks–particularly his…
