That was one of the other myriad reasons I had for not really enjoying that photoshoot (except to clinically analyze why it SUCKED) - the aura of trying-too-hard-desperation. I've seen that happen before with other Johnnies, even my beloved Evil-sama is not immune to it, and the thing is - the younger generation is simply not ready/or up to these kind of shoots as their sempais were. That's why whenever I see overly ero-ero performances that are geared to make the fangirls scream, I just shrug and laugh, because it's so calculated. I like fanservice, don't get me wrong. I find it amusing and sometimes it works really well. But stuff like...oh I don't know, for an example, KATTUN's friendly neighborhood manwhore, Jin's lip thing and Pinky and that ridiculous hip swivel thing?
MAKES ME LAUGH AND LAUGH. Because it's like, 'this is what 'sexy' is advertised as and therefore I will do it all the time.'
Problem is, An-An shoots and the studied posing/gimmickry...it's all repetitive and starts to blend in with one another after a while to me. And it gets boring.
You know it's a sad day when I can't find anything to like about pretty people who are naked - in Pi's case, so what? At this point, what's left to see? (well other than the glaringly obvious)
I didn't see real sexy.
Tegoshi is magic, but not even he can save this photoshoot, unless you're thinking in a slashy way.

You're right about trying too hard
