Comments

Peter Apr 16 2016 2:00 pm Why Lily ? Well...probably because that was his mother favorite flowers. Thats a fact...

Muhammad Adam Hussein, S.Pd Jan 02 2016 4:44 pm If the acting was impressed as a comedy actor, and likes to give surprises so with his silly behavior. But I was comforted.

some1 Apr 19 2012 5:53 pm well, it could be that there is some meaningful symbolization of a lily, which is a flower, too. The Japanese has a close connection to nature so that's a thought.

Shitsuka May 08 2011 2:27 am I like his acting, too. He is really talented person, but I have the same question... why did he has a girl's name?

Silke Mar 18 2010 12:59 pm Hmmmm, why did he named himself after a girl??? Especially when his real name isn´t bad???
