my yamapi/news obsession is starting to wane. and i dont want that to happen.

this is mainly because:
all the summertime hype have died down.
yamapi's drama is taking too long(can't wait for july 3).
osen subs are taking too long as well.
last friends is not enough to feed my obsession.
im starting to develop a full blown crush on an anime character.

i need my flying boys. i need my singing yamapi inside the fountain. 

i need their perfs/concerts etc. after all it is the never ending wonderful story dvd that got me into them.

please release the pacific con dvd.  or even the taiwan concert video. or even just a clip of yamapi doing a back-flip during the taiwan concert.

please please please.

very truly yours,
aneene a.k.a. mrs. yamashita
