Now, what are YOU doing on a thread like this? More importantly, what am I doing here??? 　

**alantin** · Jul 27, 2008, 22:26

Propably the same as I..

He must be really cute then.. To me he just looks girly. ..In a disturbing way.

I'm outta here!

**epigene** · Jul 27, 2008, 22:50

Hey, I blame you guys for making me curious about this thread! I never thought I'd be posting here...

Well, I have no idea what idolized image his fans have of him, but Teppei is actually a nice guy, seeing him speak as himself on TV....

errrrrr.....epigene, if he is a nice guy is beside the point here. Heck, even I could be a nice guy every once in a while. The question here is, "IS HE JUST SOOOOOOOOOO KAWAII!?".

I, personally, think he is super super cute, just a dimple away from being downright yummilicious.

I mean, have you seen him in the new drama series in which he courageously portrays a police officer?? How adorable is he!?

OK, young ladies, we geezers will now go away so you can continue on with your discussion. Very sorry to have interrupted.

Otenba · Jul 28, 2008, 03:39

I'm not usually into those young idol pretty boys, but I like Koike's smiley face. He's got those eyes and expression that make him seem friendly and happy all the time and I like that, although, frankly, such happy faces bore me after a little while and while I can appreciate them, I actually hate the ever-happy, naieve type he looks like. But he's still kinda cute, but I can't call myself a fan or anything.

**Dutch Baka** · Aug 11, 2008, 13:19

He really is very (人気、ninki) popular in Japan, but I have to be honest... He looks tooooo Cute.
I like his singing partner a lot more, but maybe that's because I watch Ainori.

edit: Even though you disagree with someone, can we please have some respect. If you don't like a thread, you don't have to post in it. Thank you.

**alantin** · Aug 11, 2008, 13:42

I can't believe I'm still reading this thread!

This just isn't right!

Please try to understand that some of us can't just come right out and admit they luv a teenybopper idol singer/actor, and the only way they can express their feelings is by making a joke out of it....

Did you see him dressed up like a waitress in a maid-cafe on the other night's episode????? OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!

LOL, I can't either!!

Obasan like me tend to measure people by how good a person would be as a son/daughter.

Teppei measures up to my expectations!

And... I admit he DOES LOOK CUTE!!

fiana · Aug 13, 2008, 05:26
