Of all the idols I've gotten crushes on, the story of how I discovered Matsumoto Jun is my favorite. After watching Hanazakari no Kimitachi e, I was instantly drama crazy and had to have more. I started reading up and asking friends for recommendations, and the next one I watched was Hana Yori Dango, which of course stars Jun as the rich snob Domyoji Tsukasa. A friend mentioned what a good actor he was, and I distinctly remember grumbling and thinking I hated him.

Of course, by the end of Hana Yori Dango I was madly in love with Jun thanks to his expert performance as Tsukasa, and it's easy to see why -- he's handsome and talented, but he's also goofy and seems like the type to be easygoing and not take himself too seriously. He's also in his tenth year with popular Johnny's band Arashi and has been in a long list of dramas, not to mention the Arashi variety show.  The guy keeps busy! Every time I see that ridiculous smile, my crush gets a little worse (in the best way).
