i notice that they sometimes photoshop his moles off his face too.

ah.. the problem with being to fair i guess?

late.. hmm but he has patience to wait for a late person up to an hour you know? loller.

i hate people who are late too.. but i recently discovered a trend:

when i'm early, people come 20min to 30min late,
when i'm on time they still come late
when i'm late by a 5 minutes - they scold me for being late
when i come late, they're usually early or on time or just there before me =..="

i can tell that jun and ohno are close. especially when i watched the MMA rowing special where Ohno kept calling Jun, and was sad that he couldn't come. that was so sweet. and then the way they ran and hugged each other when jun came hahaha. it was one of those 'slow motion' moments!

Whoa! Thanks for posting these facts up! I'm kinda of a new fan of Jun, so some of these I didn't know. Interesting how Ohno and Jun are pretty close. I think it's cute!!! Is Jun and Takki good friends? Jun!

hope its okei for me to post this... :

> if you like Oguri Shun (Hanazawa Rui in hyd/Uchiyama in gokusen), hear this : shun got the role as rui, because jun told the producers that if they didnt give shun the role, he wouldnt act as domyouji (gesh kinda demanding ne? >>> VyL). in real life, shun and Jun are good friends all the way from gokusen days (geesh... seldom do people find real good friends ini the biz world lucky for them >>> VyL)

wow thanks for the update! i couldn't believe the Shun thing!!! Wow that's amazing... I was always wondering why shun and jun were always together in dramas... but that's great since i love the both of them! i was surprised about the harry potter thing too. that's awesome, cuz i'm also a fan! haha

So jun is a harry potter fan too! That is really awesome how he helped oguri shun get the role I think he is a great rui! He must be a light sleeper if he can't sleep w/ aiba or nino. But maybe anyone would wake up in the middle of the night if they heard howling!

wow...al these interesting jun facts make Jun more "real" plus it makes him even more adorable seeing all his funny interesting little quirks...its nice to know that jun is quite a sensitive and sentimental guy...

more info..

a bit of background for all non-japanese speaking people :

in the 19th century, only the high class people like nobles and samurais had family names. the vast majority of the population, the peasants, did not. the new Meiji govt made it compulsory for everyone to have a family name, using only authorised kanji (chinese characters).

japanese surnames are commonly derived from geographic locations or features like plants.

Matsumoto > means breaking it down. matsu="pine wood"; moto="origin"

jun > character means "smooth"
