Little thoughts of mine

I begin to admire Matsu when I watch the jdrama entitled Hana Yori Dango. I love his position and acting in this drama a lot. I begin to admire him also because of his beautiful eyes that can tell you stories. Well, got to know him through Oguri Shun in Hana Kimi. Actually I started to watch HYD because of Oguri. I will try my best to update myself with all of the movies, dramas and songs related to Matsu and Oguri. So, gambateh ne Jun-kun and Oguri-kun! Feel free to share with me his pictures and news about him k. Yeah, where can I download his songs? Does anyone have direct URL that I can look for?
