Since the canceling of his other variety program, Yamashita has begun a new show called "Otona no Kiss Eigo" in which he attempts to pracitce/learn English. On the first episode of the show, Yamapi was introduced to a foreign girl from Australia. The two were shown a video of strangers being asked to kiss for the first time. They spoke completely in English for a while, then were instructed to kiss each other. Yamapi took the lead, kissing the girl twice. Afterwords, he revealed to his co-hosts that he actually fell for her. *cue jealous fan reaction LOL*

Yamapi was able to get by fairly well conversationally in English, but I wouldn't say he is completely fluent. Nonetheless I was surprised he was actually able to hold a conversation that well. We all know how other Johnny's do at English....

that girl, sophie is so lucky!!!! and his english is pretty good!! only sometimes, i had trouble understanding what he said. this whole thing is mostly awkward, but it was also cute. lol. and yamashita's laugh is funny. xD i watched the whole thing and imagined how it would be if it was toma instead of yamashita who had to do this. lolllll. i think he might be even more awkward, but not sure. hahaha....

yeah....i know what you mean. toma's english is not very good. lol. i'm pretty sure he said so in the past. something like how he couldn't really understand what these foreigners who worked as dancers in one of his butai's were saying when they were on a break from rehearsing or something. lol. something like that. but maybe his english has improved since then, i don't know.

wow! thank you for talking about your first kiss. but i didn't expect anyone to, it's kinda personal. so it's fine if no one else shares. lol. though i'd love it if anyone did. xD

hi Kate, I thought his accent was good in another sky, I haven't heard any English from him since (except the Bath roman one I guess). I didn't know he said his Eng was bad. There one time directer Miike asked him if he could understand Eng well because he traveled to watch stage play..I think he said yes..AWW I just wish that he has some show that he has to speak Eng...
Maybe I shouldn't say anything about the 1st kiss. I thought if I share people will share too. I like reading about them..hehe
(you know when yamapi said his first was at 12, i immediately thought about Toma gave him a kiss ..can't help it..haha)

i'd like to read about them too, but i guess no one feels like sharing. haha.
