I don't actually like Arashi all that much but Perfume is a guilty pleasure of mine so I sat through all of the latest Himitsu no Arashi-chan episode to watch their collaborative dance. And after watching this sequence, I have to admit it was a little mune-kyun:
And while Kashiyuka's イケメン4大要素 ("Four Major Elements of Hot Guys") worked for Matsujun and Ninomiya (草食系男子…!), I don't think V-shirts and skinny jeans would work for every guy. My personal Ikemen 4daiyouso would probably be:
And while Kashiyuka's イケメン4大要素 ("Four Major Elements of Hot Guys") worked for Matsujun and Ninomiya (草食系男子…!), I don't think V-shirts and skinny jeans would work for every guy. My personal Ikemen 4daiyouso would probably be:
- Well-fitting business suit. It better be crisply ironed and with a complimentary tie. None of this too-long sleeves or too-baggy pants nonsense. Bonus points if it's pinstriped.
- Over-the-ear headphones draped around the neck. Maybe not at work, but if you're commuting with it? Not too big that your head drowns in them.
- Trench coat. Kind of ridiculous to be thinking about trenchcoats in the middle of this heatwave, but yeah, trench coats are hot. Especially belted ones. Long umbrella is optional. *____*
- Stringed instrument. No, seriously - a stringed instrument is an automatic +10 item for ikemen-quality for any guy ever. I'm not just talking the obvious guitar or bass - a guy sitting with a cello or a harp would also be considered slightly hotter than an instrument-free male.

Trench coats are hot.
I am with you on this 200%. Also, while I have no musical instrument fetish, cellists and violinists are automatically hot by my standards. And pianists, but you can't drag that around very easily.
My 4 Ikemen elements? I have a feeling you know. Oh ho ho.
Glasses. Well-fitting business suit, double bonus points if it includes a vest (vests are made to be taken off. True story). Properly lengthy winter scarfs, no flimsy fashion scarfy shit. And since I have a wrist fetish, either gloves---the 'wearable to business' kind---or metal watches would do.
Other items not making it into the list includes : Black wool coats, trenchcoats, briefcases, properly shined leather shoes, ribbon ties and Y-shirts with the sleeves folded up just once (no rolling or multiple folds). Also, for real guys, properly combed back hair is really hot.

Date: 2010-07-24 12:06 am (UTC)I... didn't know you liked scarves/gloves (wrists?) lol. BUT YES TO THE VEST. THREE PIECE SUITS FOR THE WIN. It really depends on the type of briefcase/shoe for me. I like looking at cuff-links so it depends on the Y-shirt, but guys that comb their hair back properly? AGREE SO HARD. (Done wrong and it looks kind of skeevy though.)
being repetitive because fetish fangirling is always nice
Date: 2010-07-24 12:38 am (UTC)THREE PIECE SUITS = SEIGI. Whyyyy do people not wear it more often, it's way more stare-able than whatever 'sexy' exhibitionist thing that's popular these days. WHAT YOU DON'T SEE. All-back hair is hit-or-miss for me in anime, but in real life DUDE, YOU THE SALARYMAN NEXT DOOR, THAT HAIRSTYLE IS HOT DON'T CHANGE IT. Alas, not popular.
i should change the list to イケメンリーマン大要素
Date: 2010-07-24 01:57 am (UTC)I KNOW RIGHT?! The three-piece suit is TIMELESS, and it doesn't even take a specific "body-type" to pull it off (so long as it's properly tailored)!!
yes you should
Date: 2010-07-24 02:26 am (UTC)INDEED. I wouldn't mind seeing more old-fashioned neckties to go with them either, although they go well with any kind of necktie or even none at all. And I like neckties enough that regular suits don't feel like suits without them, but with a vest you could TOTALLY PULL IT OFF. Dangit! Be more popular! At least get drawned more! You either get suits or vests, but so seldom suits AND vests!
