As I said previously, I took quite a number of pictures at the Family Club of the TxT messages
Here they are:
I'm home in Singapore
It's kind of a mixed feelings too, on one hand I feel sad for being so far away again from Takki, but on the other hand, I AM SO DAMN GLAD TO BE BACK IN THE HOME OF FIVE-STAR LUXURY
*LOL*... not exactly home sweet home but at least no more lugging four luggages up and down the steps of Ikebukuro station
No more cramped hotel spaces, and I actually get to go around IN A FREAKIN' CAR!!! 
Japan is taihen!!!!
I don't think I'd be able to survive if I lived in Japan, I'll probably throw myself in front of a moving train like what Aki told me of this very gory Japanese movie of a bunch of girls throwing themselves in front of a train for mass suicides
I'm soooo glad to be back home near friends... came back from the airport back directly to Aki, Fang and Momo
And we basically... didn't sleep all night *DIES*
We turned our hotel room into a TxT room for the night!
All my money is practically gone *poof*... even my rainy day stash for emergency JE needs coz apparently I went back to the Johnny Shop on 29th morning and despite that I've yet lined up for another HOUR just to get INTO the shop.....
(Dude, there isn't a day in Japan this time that I went into the JE shop WITHOUT lining up for AT LEAST an hour---in Osaka I lined up for freakin 2 hours total getting into the shop and paying for my Takki zenbu sets!)
Anyway... so my last day I went to the Johnny Shop but STILL no Takki official live photos...
I got really pissed (because no new official shop photos---even though I *DID* get a bunch of unofficial photos of "HARD TAKKI"
) so I blew off all the rest of my money on a bunch of clothes in Harajuku (and even chitchatted with a ganguro shopkeeper who called Takki "utau heta"
LOL! *whacks her* But she was sooo nice and funny I couldn't get mad at her, in fact we laughed soooo much about Takitsuba, she's so cute!!!) Ah basically to every store I go they asked me if I'm "gaijin-san" and did I come to Japan for holiday? And I kept replying that I'm actually here for a concert and then every single time we get into this conversation about Takitsuba *LOL*... even with the Samantha Thavasa shopkeeper, and that vintage kimono shopkeeper where I bought yet ANOTHER bag at (the vintage kimono shopkeeper is actually a Tsubasa fan and she was even asking me if I knew about the 4 language Venus---and she was like saying how she's curious about hearing Takki sing in all those languages! hahahah that was fun, talking about TxT with shopkeepers!)... ah there goes my rainy day JE money stash
But I ended up giving my Samantha Thavasa bag to my mom as "proof" that I'm in Japan NOT JUST FOR A TAKKI TRIP
*LOL* (But anyway we share all our stuffs together so what's mine is hers and what's hers is mine hahahah zuruiiiiii
)
Anyway I didn't get to see Takki in the Tsubacon that I went to, but I'm so glad I managed to catch Takki in Hanamaru Market the morning before I left... and it was a LIVE show too
IMHO in Hanamaru Market, for some reason he looked really skinny and kind of... old? I mean not as YOUTHFUL as he used to be? But even so, he was still soooo cute! 
Tsubasa is soooooo awesome 

Ahhh he is really super super super kakkoiiiiii
(even with that new hair I think he's still kakkoiiiii!) And I am sooo glad I got to see Tsubasa's solocon too before I leave... and even if Takki wasn't there tonight, seeing just Tsubasa alone made up for the lovesickness because basically, Takki & Tsubasa are ONE
I do hope he will come tomorrow! 
I went to the combini to check up on today's newspapers... and I ended up buying a huge big pile... or like 5 or 6 newspapers

WTF yo I never even read newspapers back home and I'm buying newspapers in Japan
*THUD* Hahahaha... the things I do for Takki! (And the things I do BECAUSE of Takki!---I will tell you more of this at the end of the post!)
But anyway, I was at the newspaper rack and I was browsing and opening each one to find which ones has Takki right? And I almost fell over when I opened Sponichi because of this:

HG!? No, it's Takki da fooo~
*DIES LAUGHING* 
I almost cracked up sooo loud at the racks but decided to channel it to my keitai keypad and e-mailed Cyn instead because we shared such a good laugh over HT 
HG that night and she was wondering if anyone thought of the resemblance too and now suddenly ALL THE NEWSPAPERS are writing over the same reference
BWAHAHAHAHAHHH!!!! Now that Cathy and Aki had reminded me that Takki HAS in fact met Hard Gay in Zubari, I am now convinced that he *IS* actually doing a parody of HG! HAHAHAHHA!
And the newspapers actually referred to the abbreviation of "HT" as "HARD T" instead of "HIDEAKI TAKIZAWA"
*THUD*... I mean, I TOTALLY DID NOT SEE IT AS "HARD T"!!!!
Because Takki's logo for this con *IS* "HT" so I kept thinking oh it's "Hideaki Takizawa"
So it's "HARD T"
*DIES LAUGHING*
@ 1:30am
OK!!!! CATHY JUST TOLD ME THE "FOOOOO" THING IS A HARD GAY THING!!! so Takki was DEFINITELY purposely parody-ing HG with the hat and especially coz he yelled "YOKOHAMA FOOOOOOOO~" when he came out for his ero ero dance!!!! XDDDDDDDDDDD *DIESSSSS*
Ahhhh my head is in a whole big jumble right now
I spazzed out soooo much I didn't pay attention because there were just soooooo many things to spazz about in the Yokohama concert!!!
Ahhh Takki otsukaresamaaaaaa
YOUは最高ですよ! 
OMG everything is sooo jumbled up in my head right now I have no idea how to put this all together... but ahhhhhh omg I LOVE TAKKI SO MUCH!!! HE IS THE MOST FUCKING ADORABLE PERSON IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD 

BAKAAAA! 
@ 10:34
I added more stuff that I remembered when I was drooping to sleep!
OMGWTF I heard Venus
and I had my volume up so high when it blasted out of my speakers I almost flew off my chair
*THUD* It's... it's.... it's....
MUY MUY LATIN
...seriously, it's kinda... RICKY MARTIN-Latin! Not even, it's exactly like it! Muy muy Ricky Martin!
aki and I were both listening with lots of
silences on our MSN wondering if we love it or we hate it or... LOL!
I kinda like it...
or... do I? (I'm a confused girl, really) 
And I thought Serenade was kind of Latin? But this one is like... mucho mucho latin! LOL... I'm not making sense am I?
Anyway... I'll probably try to like convert my file to a low-bitrate (sample quality) and put it up if I have time... but probably no time...
Anyhoo, the song will premiere on Tsubasa no Tobase radio show on Thursday so I'm sure there will be downloads by then~
okie... gotta get back to packing... am flying tomorrow 
Lis and Leelin... sorry haven't replied your mails, will write you both tomorrow during transit! 

@ 20:10pm
I'm like... in 4 hour transit in Changi... nothing to do... cut my Venus mp3 into a sample-quality WAV file just so you guys can hear what it's like XD Do comment what you think about it ne! And psst... can you please not post it up elsewhere, I mean, not in public posts? Thanks ^^v
OK... my next post will be from Japan XD wakakakaka--- ANYWAY, now that you heard a little bit of VENUS, don't forget to preorder the CD ok!!!!!
Ah this Takki now got sooo much free time eh
Or maybe I should thank Yoko for kicking Takki back into the update-whore he was back in 2004
*LOL* Wahahahaa~ *pets Yoko*
Cynthia..... 



So here I go~yo.
『Year 2005』
This year is a taiga year ne
To me, this year became an asset in terms of work, and it relates to me as a person as well, anyway it's one very precious year na
When I saw the compilation, the truth is during Shanaou's early days, everyone was like: "Takizawa-kun~ daijoubu de ka~~~~"
At that time even I knew that eventually I'll have to do the death part but it was still very premature then
Not to make any excuses, but there was a lot of things that I haven't properly gripped, and a lot of things about Yoshitsune I haven't understood yet at that time. It was tough yo, acting
It's not just acting by dialogues, but you have to get into the feeling, and blend with the camera movement, lighting has to blend beautifully with the set, mental and physical strength too and despite I've had some training but despite my guts, for Takizawa the actor, the hurdle became higher and higher! Meaning there's always a new mark to go towards ne
It was the kind of work that became the turning point of my life in entertainment
I think I'd like to do a historical drama again na 
『Concert』
I've said in the beginning though that the solo concert this time will have ZERO of Christmas colors ne
I don't want to follow the world's stream so I'm not considering it 
Because I want to do a more fun event than Christmas






Christmas~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I won't lose to you naa~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (loud voice) Because this is our holiday, so kimono! This time will be very Japanese so in the opening I'll also wear kimono
It will stand out as opposed to casual wear yo
But if I am the only one wearing kimono I'll be the only one that stood out desho
CHIKUSHOー CHIKUSHOーda yo, GAPPE MUKATSUKU
Fine yo, if you can't wear it's OK yo, but naaー for the people who wear casual clothes, I will call up to the stage and punish you in front of everyone 



Maaー if it's really impossible then it's OK but
( ̄□ ̄;)!! KUSO
『One word』
nna
*DIES AGAIN* 



Not only it's a huge long ESSAY
(I opened this write post window at 11 AM and look at the time now!!!!! X.x) but the things he said OMGWTFROFLOLDIES 



I'm gonna skip the entire Yoshitsune part *shoots Takki to get over Yoshitsune already*
*LOL* but the CONCERT part



*THUD!!!!* 
① He wants to compete with Christmas
Takki, you wanna compete with Jesus ka? Dame da yo! LOL!!! 
② He again emphasizes more on kimono kimono kimono 
③ He swears not once, not twice but THREE TIMES 
④ AND TAKKIー
I think you really need to fine tune your reverse psychology naaaa!
Anou ne... if you remember many of his reverse psychologies... LOL... they're all potential backfires! JUST LIKE THIS ONE! He'll call the people wearing casual clothes ON STAGE???
ON THE SAME STAGE WITH TAKIZAWA HIDEAKI
*hears the wave of stampede of fangirls returning their rented kimonos back to the stores* 



AND WHAT IS THAT LAST ONE WORD "nna"
Seriously LOL I'll really never understand what goes on in that head of his! He's sooooo dooooorkkkkyyyyyyyy 


Kimono, or no kimono
Kimono, or no kimono
LOL! Let me go flip a coin~
Ahhh I had this draft saved for almost 2 days already hahahah---
Takki is soooooo hot
when he's all pissy... iyaaa---
*DIES* Ahhh he's so cute and mischievous and PISSY this time in Shokura it's just damn priceless to not share and talk about it~
Let's go meet pissy Takki 
@ 2005/12/16 12:36am
Download link updated!
OMG *DIES HAPPY*
Two days in a row
Thanks for the big whack cyn
*LOL* AND THANK YOU TAKKI TOOOOO

OMG I really was too caught up in Yoshi sorrow WTF!!!
Hahahahaaa Yoko bouncing off the walls BUHAHAHAHAHAHAHH I'm imagining how excited he must've been!!! Just like the fangirls!!! Ahahahaaa~ 
I think it finally hit me hard today that Yoshitsune is really, really over
One whole year I was commuting back and forth between my downtown apartment and my suburbian home to set my VCR (I get free NHK in my downtown apartment coz its 90% Japanese residents) experiencing botches now and then where I have to re-set my recording for the rerun... and now it's reeeally gonna feel weird that I don't have to do that again, and my concierge is probably gonna miss me coz he won't get my weekly dash-in-dash-out visits anymore 
And previously my bawl-o-rama record was held by Kimutaku's 「空から降る一億の星」, but that record was broken by Yoshitsune *LOL*
OMFGWTF never cried so much in one episode, and it doesn't help that I watched it last night at 2 AM in the morning and ended up with a huge headache the next morning 
Ahhhh and I should've watched that NHK Saturday Studio Park live interview clip before I watched Yoshitsune because Takki's message to the audience was to bring a towel BATHTOWEL to watch Yoshi (for the flood of tears)
and OMG HOW TRUE!!!! 

No, I didn't bring a bathtowel with me so I ended up with more blotches on my Mogu 
That was really sad though... I think I cried the most when Saburou made that crabby kani face like a little kid to his Yoshitsune-sama 

Aaaaaaa... and Kisanta... Jirou's gory death... and that split second moment when Yoshitsune and Benkei only exchanged few words and said goodbye with their eyes
I can almost hear it in English... "It was an honor serving you, sir!" 
But I do have one small complaint about Yoshitsune's death scene though -.- WTF was that white light exploding through the roof thingy! THAT WAS REALLY CHEESY... and ALMOST DESTROYED MY BAWL-O-RAMA MARATHON coz I almost BURST OUT LAUGHING!!! *thud* And the white stallion in the sky.... OMG thud... *complains complains* ahhh OK, the white stallion I can tolerate, but shouldn't Yoshitsune-sama ASCEND to heaven a little more gracefully rather than EXPLODE THROUGH THE ROOF like that? o_O;;;
But all in all, twas a good year
And Yoshitsune's last episode ended very well too. I liked the way they showed a vision of young Shanaou running through the forests of Kurama mountain, a place where he grew up~
ahhh it's like, Yoshitsune's spirit never really left the places and the people he loved 
Otsukaresama, Yoshitsune-sama, and see you in Osaka!
Btw, I finally made time to pick up my magazines amongst the hectic-disruption-of-my-life-by-an-overseas-family-member-visit
So anyway, and my PC is pretty much fixed except that it still has no modem, but I managed to update the scans in the gallery so go go go go to the front page already! 
Anywaaaay... one paragraph in DUET 01/2006 that caught my attention the most was...
Remember I said last time that Yokoyama Yuu (of Kanjani8) is a Takiren addict
Today's Takiren is a
Yokoyama Special
Thank you neeee momo-chan!
And thank you always to Cynthia!!! 

Yesterday late at night Yokoyama, Murakami and Maru who were shooting in the studio next door unexpectedly came to pay me a visit da
And Yokoyama was like, I always read Takiren yo
Please hayaku update yo
he said that to me
For that reason, I'm doing a Yokoyama Special today 





To Yokoyama.
Did you cut your hair? We haven't drank since Dream's wrapup yo ne? Hayaku let's go yo
We'll meet at the yakiniku place in Kobe again
Jyaー because you've promised to talk about this update on the radio, please also talk about all the events during Dream Boy wrap up day
the ones that can be said... 







At the first party Yokoyama disappeared halfway (―_―メ) Where did you go? I asked everyone but everyone said they don't know, so please explain of your whereabouts 
*ROLLS ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING* 
Cindi and I were dying from laughing too much today~ and she said Takki sounds like a MINI-SHACHOU
(LOL! Mini-Johnny?????)
*DIES*!!!! Johnny-san has a mini-me and his name is Takizawa Hideaki! 

(and literally "mini" too) 
Ahhhhh THAT IS JUST... SO PRICELESSLY CUUUUUTE


I'm imagining how Yoko said it to him, all demanding telling Takki to HAYAKU UPDATE YO!
And Takki ->
*LOL* It must've been EXTREMELY FUNNY especially coz it came out from Yoko!
Who would've thought Yoko is a Takiren-fanboy!
So yeah I'm now counting on Cin and Cyn for their report on TONIGHT's Recomen onegai shimasuuuu~
I hope Yoko says something about it~ 
Wahhhh Takki still busy busy ne..... doing his sound editing in the studio til late late late at night~ ahhh he works sooo hard I love his perseverance
Takkiiiii--- see you in Osaka ne
Correct me if I'm wrong but if a Satomi Hakkenden press conference took place on December 5, 2005
it would mean that Takki would be sporting his new hair
desho
SO HOW COME HIS HAIR LOOKS...
EXACTLY THE SAME???



Takki, exactly what part of your hair did you CUT?
If you notice the back part of his hair is still long too and he was complaining about not being able to cut the back part coz of the hair extensions right
Even his precioussssss
bangs looks intact too LOL! Takki, do you have some abnormally rapid hair growth or something 
Duuuuuude
OK I guess we mourned 7 days and 7 nights over the death of Takki's beautiful hair for nothing because IT IS STILL INTACT



*LOLOLOL* Although, we weren't exactly much in mourning were we? 
Mwacks
arigachuuuuu momo-chaaan

[random]
What the heck? CDJapan sent me a newsmail coupon worth 500 yen A DAY AFTER I PLACED MY SINGLE PREORDERS
Naturally, I can't apply them to the new TxT singles coz the orders had been placed!
Zuruuuuuiiiiiii! 
[/random]
P.S. Uwaaaa~ Takitsuba FC Vol.15 is out today and it's like allllll Tsubaaaaaaaa~ (and a few pages of Yoshitsune crankup)! Hayai ne... already out in auctions! *LOL* Sometimes I wonder why these people even bother to enroll in the FC if they sell their FCs as soon as it arrives? But then again they sell so people like me can buyyyy~ LOL ok *stops complaining*
*WHACKS THE DAILY SPORTS STAFF*

WHO THE HECK IS TAKIGAWA HIDEAKI

*LOL!* 
I went to sneak a peek at the Daily Sports Zoom J Interview page just now and the first thing I noticed was:



OMG BUHAAHAHAHAHAHAH THEY ACTUALLY MISSPELLED HIS NAME???!!! OMG SHOULDN'T THAT BE THE BIGGEST SIN IN THE GEINOU WORLD? TO ACTUALLY MISSPELL A TAIGA DORAMA LEAD ACTOR'S NAME? *LOL* Buhahahahaha 
I hope they didn't misspell it on the newspaper itself!
Uh... cyn
*LOL*
Is "Takigawa Hideaki" Takki's clone? Is he as hot and amazing (and baka and dorky) as Takki too?
Are there more Takki clones stashed behind Daily Sports' editorial rooms? Come on, Daily Sports!!! Share them Takki clones with us!
Who would've thought cuddly wuddly big teary anime eyes that melts you into this puddle of ooze could actually EXIST in real life
If you read Azrael's editorials in Outpostnine, he nicknamed one of his students as "Ultimate Sweetness" and he describes her cuteness to be so extreme that it has this artery-clogging effects that could cause instant coronary heart attack and sudden death of heart explosion or something 
Oh duuuuude... I think I almost squished the magazine and myself to death when I opened the TV Pia page and saw one Hamtaro-Yoshitsune staring right at me with those cuddly wuddly eyes!!! 



= 
Please excuse me while I screech myself to exploding into gazillions of screeching pieces!!!! 


OH MY DONO YOSHITSUNE-SAMA 

Suddenly I'm seeing that yamabushi CUP-SLASH-HAT in a VERY different light now!
Go click the bigger scan in the next page to see just HOW HAMTARO he looks!!!! 

I've been meaning to talk about Yoshitsune but never got a chance... 
*DIES* 


He's doing a musical next year running from March to April staged at the 新橋演舞場 Shinbashi Enbujou (Shinbashi Theatre)


OK.... this news is very... hen....
thud...
I'm laughing as I read it.... XDDDDDD

Ahhh the lengths I had to go through to rescue TV LIFE Takki from a hostage situation from my friend 
Had to buy him dinner
*LOL*
...IS NOT PUCHIMOHI! 


Takki fans can stop worrying and fiddling their fingers throughout the day trying to picture Takki with a mohawk or cropped crew cut because I repeat, his new hair is reportedly NOT PUCHIMOHI
(or anywhere close to it, for that matter!)
Seems that he only got a measly TRIM, described as a dark version of the hair he had in end of 2004 (which is... uh... not so much different from his current hair really?) Well... definitely NOT puchimohi 
And I was just enlightened too that "puchimohi" hairstyle is in fact that Takki kewpie-slash-mohawk he had when he was still in Johnny's Junior! I think in early 2001? I have a TV Guide from that year with Takki and his puchimohi on the cover and he was eating CAKE in the inside pages! LOL! I'll scan when I get a chance! It's so cute!
Ahhhhh actually my initial reaction was to JUMP and also DEFLATE at the same time
Wahahahah... I was actually looking forward to have BOTH TxT with crazy-ass hairstyles, they'd look so cool standing next to each other, as if they just stepped out of some
FANTASY ANIME
or something, but ahh... looks like Mr.Play-It-Safe / Mr.Love-Urusai-Fans / Mr.My-Precious-Bangs was really just pulling our leg
(like he always does! I should've known!)
I really never learn from my past mistakes
(and that would be, to never take Takki seriously?) 
Well, one thing though, he sure didn't waste any time on getting that haircut! It's like, Satoken done, haircut immediately the next day
He mut've been dying to get a haircut already ne hahahahahaaaaa 
I'm still excited about Takki's new hair but... but... but... as I gaze drool upon the TV magazines I just got today... 

Ooooh the cropping of that beautiful hair requires quite a long period of time to mourn
(...or until we catch a glimpse of the new hair, then we decide whether to rejoice, or mourn some more) 
My desktop PC was busted by some shock current caused by a recent lightning storm in Jakarta -.- Nothing else was damaged but my PC is dead now, it won't even turn on, and I remembered exactly I was listening to some music on my desktop when that one huge lightning struck and suddenly the music died, and so did my computer. Until I get it fixed, I have no dreamweaver on this laptop so I'll just update magazine scans here ^^v
OK have to make this quick must make a quick dash to a wedding and out! THANK YOU CYNTHIAAA 



It seems long but also short at the same time
In the beginning it was shooting at the same time with Yoshitsune so it was very taihen, but with the director and the staff's support I did my best! To top it all off, I got my revenge and got really drunk instead ne 

Also, thank you so much to Sanae-P
I'll go to invade your house again next time
But I feel so relieved yo
These past few years my life had been so hectic due to taiga dorama and Satoken etc etc
But I've already done my concert preparations, so shouldn't it be calmer now?
Right now, the composition, stage, costume and sound have all been decided yo. It's all done
Fasstt 
I'm fast yo~
no matter what... Maa
Anyway to put it simply, you have to watch Satoken yo
Definitely da zo
It's a promise na
Maji da zo
By the way I'm getting my haircut tomorrow. Don't complain
I plan to do a プッチモヒ 











TAKKI, SATOKEN OTSUKARECHAN! 

YAYYY TAKIZAWA HIDEAKI IS FINALLY FREEEEEEEEEE FREEEEEEEEEEE FREEEEEEEEEEE
FREEEEEE OF TAIGA FREEEEE OF SATOKEN FREEEEE OF ALL PERIOD DRAMAS THAT'S GONNA PUT HIM IN ANCIENT FUNNY LOOKING HATS
FREEE FREEEEEE FREEEEEE AS A BIRDDDD
OMEDETOU TAKKI YAYYYYYYYY~~~~~ 


aki sent me suuuuch cute Takki photos last week over the mail
These two are my LOVES: 

Look at how sweet he looks at Shounentai Playzone's 800th show
He looks like a sweet shy little girl!
*LOL* No no I'm kidding~ not a girl, but looks so prim and proper desho
But look at how cute and nikoniko and mischievous his grin is while shooting his watergun at the fans in the concert

Kaaaawaaaaiiiiiiiiii~~~
Did I tell you, last time when I was working in my former company, I had a bunch of Takki photos surrounding my monitor, in different-different haircolors and clothes and years etc... and my boss thought that I have 20 different boys on displayed on my desk
It never ceases to amaze me just how versatile Takki is *PINCH PINCH PINCH PINCH blonde Takki, PETS PETS PETS PETS brunette Takki* 


And ami's fingerprints are like, all over these two photos *LOL* and maybe if I looked hard enough perhaps I will find a LIP
PRINT
*ROFLOLOLOL* (Erm, actually... maybe MY lip print! XD) Gyahahahaha~
Ahhhh my Takki TV magazines are hereeeeeeeeeeeee waiting for me in Kinoooooo but I have dinner plans, and I have to pick my friend up and go to dinner and it's out of the way from Kinokuniya ASDFGHJKL 


Dooushiyoooouuuu~ 
ACCIO TV MAGZ!!! 
Meh... if only the Harry Potter spells could really work... my life would be a whole lot simpler
Takizawa Hideaki you are killing my 

There will be a total of FIVE Takki cover magazines within these 2 weeks and they're all TV magazines
...And they're not even for Satomi Hakkenden yet, all of these are in the event of the last episode of Yoshitsune
*thud*... Anyway, they are:
I'm subscribed to Shuukan TV & TV Navi, while TV Guide & TV Pia are available in my Kino
Meanwhile, Arvin is in Singapore and he's picking up the TV LIFE I reserved by phone today and bringing it home to me next week and so all five TV magazines covered in a snap yatta
A Takki magazine addict must move fast LOLOLOL~ And so now I can sleep soundly and worry about paying for them... uh... next week...
Oyachumi~
Buhahahahhahah my first reaction when I heard about it was laugh like crazy!!!
I think every single person who I told it to, their first initial reaction was:
BUWAHAHAHAHH! 


I saw what the pillowcase is like... it's the standard pillow size, it's black, and it's got huge Takki & Tsuba's face on it
The same exact pics from their new merchandise, the mini clear uchiwa and the FC album
So yeah... the same picture is just kinda *blown up* to a pillow size 
Uhm... so if you sleep on it... you'd be
-ing on TxT's face?
And this pilowcase would give a whole new LITERAL meaning to the term "DROOL ON TAKKI"
Buhahahahahh~ yeah... drool on a 1,500JPY
Takki-faced pillowcase hahahahah!
And to think it's actually.... uh... an official item
It's probably the dorkiest official merchandise ever LOL~
[Confession]
I always thought that idol-faced pillowcases are pathetic... and now looks like I'm actually gonna buy one ^^;;;;;;;
[/Confession]

Oh yeah... tadaima
I'm home
and miserable
I hate Jakarta
I miss the sunshine
and the sunset and the beaches
I just realized how much I under-appreciated Bali this whole time. It's like everyone has to pay so much money to go to Bali and there it is right next door to me (and so cheap too, well, compared to Japan)
うわ~ バリに戻りたいぃぃ~
Ahhh sorry this came really late
4 days late *THUD* hahahaa actually I didn't expect he'd update again THE FOLLOWING DAY so I didn't ask my friend to send LOL... hahahaha sneaky Takki
Thank you cynthia




Maa~ it can't be helped so I'll just teee--ll. That is actually, a CUP yo
When in training/journey, it's used to drink water from the river yo
It seems very He-he-
" desho
But in Yoshitsune there won't be such a scene, but in history there is such an interesting fact da yo ne
Lately Takizawa had been eating 2 servings of nattou everydayー
Dear Kisanta,
Hurry up and come for a drink
I haven't seen you all in awhile. Today my work is also finished so call me!!
Well then, katagata........... kaeru*!! (Yoshitsune theme song)
(btw, there's a sentence in that paragraph to Kisanta that was written in a very Yoshitsune-style Japanese language, but it's hard to convey it in English translation)
Ahhhh LOL so he did explain it the next day~
Yerrrrr..... headpiece-slash-drinking-cup... erm what a strange combination hahahahaha!
2 servings of nattou

EVERY DAY

Aiyaks... no comment..... *LOL*
And btw, if you remember in Yoshitsune there's that infamous line of his when he led his men down the cliff in Ichinotani battle: "Katagata, MAIRU!" which means he is giving command to GO, to CHARGE, to ATTACK... and in the Takiren above he spoofed it with kaeru instead of mairu 

BUHAHAHAHAH and "kaeru" means to return, to come home
So... uhm...
to return to.... THE PUB


Ahhhh these drunkards!!! LOLLLLL *WHACKS THEM* 


I wanna hear that "Katagata kaeru" Yoshitsune theme song
*LOL* Takki, is this like, one of those new songs you wrote yourself? ROFLOLMAOOO 
Anyway, me going for short holiday to Bali tomorrow
fufufu... no updates 'til I return on Sunday~ I'll just check in and reply comments from my keitai
じゃーバリ島
に行ってきます!
I still remember that back in May 2004 I went 

and *ROFL* upon hearing that Takki's appearing a TV program in Kansai called 「ちちんぷいぷい」 (read: chi-chin-pui-pui)
Hahah~ anyway, Takki did a VTR recording in this bangumi to promote both Satomi Hakkenden and also his solo concert but OMG dude, when he first appeared on screen, I think my morning coffee almost exploded entire out of my mouth because... erm... ok... which is better ne? Yamabushi hairdo or an EBOSHI BONNET

BUHAHAHAHAHAHA *LOL* OMG I just wanted to like grab that bonnet off his head and run as fast as I can and hide it so it won't ever find its way onto Takki's head again! LOL!!! But everytime he smiled he looked soooo kawaiiiiii in that disturbingly unsexy hat I've always loathed in Yoshitsune, except now its 100x worse coz it's got STRAPS that makes it look like a BONNET in my eyes! ROFL!!!!!
And so I'm grinning... grinning... grinning... (Can you see me grin as wide as the milkyway?)
and then suddenly came THIS question:

*DIES LAUGHING*
*WHACKS HIM 1000000x WITH MY NEW HARRY POTTER WAND!*
RIDDIKULUS! 
(turns him bald)
Erm... not that Takki is a Boggart...
OMG I'm just kidding! XD TAKKI URUSAI FANS DON'T KILL ME LOLOLOLOL~ 
Kora Takki!!!!


Excuuuuse me we are not urusai about your hairdo yo!!!! ...but we're also urusai on your WEIGHT your CLOTHES your RING your BEER DRINKING
your SMOKING
your PARTY-ING TIL 10 AM IN THE MORNING
your CONCERT
your CDs
your DVDs
your MAGAZINE SHOOTS
(does he want me to go on?) *LOL*
ウルサイ =
ラブ
Yeah I think he knows that
I love it when he talks to the media about his fans' behavior~
We love you too, Takki! 
Oh btw, this eboshi bonnet look is actually not for Yoshitsune but for Satomi Hakkenden
*DIES* 
He talks a lot about Yoshitsune in the article~ usually Fineboys articles aren't really substantial, but anyway there are still need-to-know tidbit facts *LOL*... and plus I just watched him elaborate on and on about his Yoshitsune experience in this NHK clip... now I'm all sentimental about Yoshi
Uwa...
Anyway... 
ASDFGHJKL#%&* 



I think that's pretty much our exact reactions when me and ami met up in front of Kinokuniya today and squeed over the latest issue of Fineboys with Takki on the cover 

Ahhhh seriously, I'm just too delirious (and alcohol-intoxicated) to actually talk properly about it right now (and to not sound like a complete speech-deficient person or something)
So it's probably a better idea to just let the photos speak for themselves 
You know, when I bought the magazine, I didn't even pay attention to how expensive it was 
and just kinda handed over my credit card, completely zombified
*THUD* XD The Fineboys article talks mostly about Yoshitsune's wrap up and Satomi Hakkenden.... but one interesting fact, it seems that Takki had changed his travel plans
You know how in the past he always said he wants to travel abroad to either Los Angeles, Las Vegas or Hawaii??? Well... in one of the questions here I managed to read that he wants to go to KOREA instead now
because of the yakiniku
*THUD x100000* (Erm, maybe he has a hidden agenda going to Korea... that is to get back the % Japan audience share that's been taken over by Korean stars?) LMAO XD I'll read more of this when I'm sober HAHAHAH 
Anyway... the rest of the December magazine scans are also up in the gallery
Access from front page as usual
Enjoy! 
Shino-sama why are you so kakkoiiiii~
v

Ahhh I think this will be my most anticipated scene ever
The fight on the rooftop with Genpachi (Manabu Oshio)
Ooooh the collision of two chou bari kakkoii otoko *__* *LOL* I just hope Takki's Shino isn't as wimpy as the anime Shino though
And I'm glad as hell Genpachi doesn't have that crazy ass hair as the anime Genpachi did! HAHAHAH
He looks more like a soldier here... all ninja looking and all... Manabu kakkoiiiii~
no wait...
TAKIZAWA KAKKOIIII









Isn't he kawaiiiiiii~~~~
Now that's what I call a 6 trillion dollar smile that just melts your heart
Ahh I forgot what he said in the interview... some message for the audience to watch Satoken... and something he talk about the shoot and the character of Shino... don't have
right now left it at home
I'll blog it later
Just enjoy Shino-sama's kawaii 6 trillion dollar smile! 
How does he turn from
into
just by smiling ne
The mysteries of the world 
Eun Hye-chan~ doumo arigatou ne! check your e-mail
CHU momo-chan too~~~ (^з^)ー☆CHU!
aki, can you see horns poking out of my head?
fufufu :3
OMGWTFBBQ they added more cons for Tsubasa during the same time Takki is having his solo con uwaaaaaaaa 


momo told me this last night and I was just... shocked
because I did not expect this! aki told me she was actually talking about this to her friend earlier today but she really didn't expect it to reeeeally happen either
*THUD* These boys will be the DEATH of us... one of these days they'll like cause one of the fans a fatal coronary heart attack or something LOL!!!!
Seriously though... I was actually more of expecting that TxT CHRISTMAS EVENT
that was mentioned awhile ago... but I did not expect this:
Fufufufuuuuu since this is in TOKYO then Takki is MOST LIKELY to be able to make it this time
Moreover, this time NO YOSHITSUNE, NO SATOMI HAKKENDEN, AND NO SOLOCON OR WHATEVER CRAP TO GET IN THE WAY BETWEEN TAKKI AND TSUBASA
(well, at least for now!) LOL~
*dies again*
Uwa~ he's really going by almost bi-weekly updates now
Ahahaaa I wonder if Yoko is like bouncing his head off excited over the fact that Takki just updated again
Oh yeah I don't think I've told you this yet, but cynthia told me awhile ago that Yokoyama Yuu of Kanjani8 actually talked about Takiren in his radio show, saying that he's recently ADDICTED to reading Takiren
And last time there was this span of exactly 14 days between Takiren #185 and 186 and Yoko said in his radio show that he got soooo excited because it's been a long time since Takki last updated!
OMG SO CUTE!!!!
I mean, usually it'll be Takki fangirls screeching that... about the fact that it's been soooo long since he last updated! *ROFL* But coming from Yoko... it's soooo cute! 

Anyway, here's the new Takiren... and thank you momo-chan


And thank you cynthia for the icons tooooo~~~~ 








Because it was such a beautiful location I upped a picture ne
The shoot was also OK and it'll probably be done by this month kana! Once it's done then it's the concert daa
The shoot for the pamphlet and goods also is progressing a lot
This time I'm very fussy over the production of the photos or the comments or the goods yo
You are expecting VERY kakkoii
goods, are you not??
Don't make fun of the master yo
Making fun of me is.... This time I'm also preparing the limited merchandise kawaii goods yo
Limited quantity means it has to be out ahead of time ne
There's no mistake that these will be the kind of goods that can GET a girl's heart 

If possible I'll upload a photo next time 
YES WE WANT
BARI KAKKOII
GOODS!

P.S.
I don't have the photo that Takki attached yet, cynthia's camera is out of battery... T.T but she told me that Takki attached a photo of... er... mountains *LOL* haha... DORK! XD

Sorry, I'm on one week National Holiday so I really haven't gone online in like... 3 days
Amazing desho
Apparently a new Satoken CM came out on 10/29/2005 and it's been sitting in my mailbox from U-san since that same day, so you probably only have (at the most) 4 days to download this link so hurry!
Erm, in this case I guess it means 35 pictures speaks 35,000 words
Or more like 35,000,000,000 words since this is Takki
*LOL* Anyway, here are some Izumo concert pictures I swiped off the Yahoo! Auctions
Uwa... finally
Ohisashiburi, Takiren!
Thank you momo-chan!!!
And thanks for the icons, cynthia!!! 

More than half of a month I'm not in Tokyo naaー
Speaking of out of town, Izumo concert da na
The audience's response was very refreshing and it's a lot of fun yo! And amidst everyone of the fanclub members, first-time Izumo audience getting pulled into the mood, it's really heartwarming to see it all from the stage
Sankyuuー
I want to go again yo ♪ 
Arigatou Izumo 

soon da na
Looking back until now, looking back to this year's memories, while reminiscing on a lot of memories and tying it up with next year in composition
I'll include also productions that's been seen before or songs that's been heard
Of course there will be new stuff too ne
JyaーI'll tell you just a little bit ka
I'm thinking if I should be singing this song from long long time ago during Jr. years' called 『不良』(Furyou)
I really like this song da yo ne
Also, that famous song that's been passed along generations of Johnny's
Cha-cha-ka-cha-ka-cha-cha
♪ I think I'll do that too
I've thought of a lot of things yo
Maー the designs are possible but it's kinda hard to realize everything so I don't know, but I will try my best as much as I can wa

I also want to include a lot of self-composed songs
This time the concert is in two places, so if time permits, I'm thinking about composing songs for each Osaka and Yokohama
There's only two shows in a day so I'll only be sing each song twice
I won't sing it not even in another lifetime 
That's a little extravagant kana
Maー let me coordinate the schedule (*_*) T-t-twice only
NOT EVEN IN A ANOTHER LIFETIME
Takizawa you zuruiiiii naaaa!
But that is indeed a very good persuading tactic! Because he sure as hell convinced me (in a snap) that I should NOT miss a single show!!!! So maybe I should say THANK YOU TAKKI
for finally give me 100000000% reassurance that YES, MUST DEFINITELY GO OSAKA TOO
Must make it to Kansai even if I have to crawl there from Tokyo! LMAO!!!!
...because to tell you the truth, this whole time I'm still contemplating whether I should also do Osaka at all... coz of... $$$, what else -.-;;;
Oh my money
Sayonara 
U-san sent me a 6 minute Izumo Concert news yesterday!!!!
Ahhhh U-san you're the bestttttt!!!!! ありがとうございます!!!
Supposedly it's from this program called MOVE on TV Asahi that airs Mon~Fri starting 4PM JST. This was part of the entertainment segment of the program. Their entertainment reporter went to Izumo to cover the story!
Ii naaa... entertainment reporter.... 
As usual my internet is problematic... trying to reupload it now, and I'll put it up as soon as it's ready, OK? ![]()
A friend of momo-chan said that Takki's birthday present to Tsubasa this year is a SHARP AQUOS 21" LCD TV
And my first thought was: LOL! Shouldn't it be Tsubasa buying a TV instead for that time when he broke Takki's TV!
Buhahahahahh!!!
Anyway... here are some spicy
details about the birthday party that I got from U-san and also momo-chan....
Good day Takki fans, do you remember what day is tomorrow
Tomorrow is...
TAKITSUBA IZUMO CONCERT DAY 

Kekekekeee.... so Takki is most likely already in Izumo ne... coz he needs to rehearse with Tsuba!
I hope he writes something in Takiren soon... say something about his Izumo prep... hmmm maybe after the concert ne
But most of all, I wanna hear about the details of that TSUBASA BIRTHDAY PARTY he did throw!
I don't know much details yet but Tsubasa did mention in his radio show TOBASE last night that Takki DID host a birthday party for him
And I think it's in Tokyo neeeee~ 
Anyway, gotta go now... if I know more about what Tsuba said in TOBASE I'll write again later
Let's all wish Takitsuba the best for their Izumo Concert tomorrow! 
@23:50pm

Ahhhh we've known each other for 2 years now ne... when you think about it, it's really not such a long time but it really feels like I've known you my whole entire life!
I wish you a very happy birthday, and success in your future
All the best in pursuing your graduate degree, ganbatteeeee neeee~~~~
I love you loads and loads! My one and only very special bakako! CHU~~~
Nyoooo~~~ ^^v Quick Takiren update! Internet dead whole day in office couldn't do crap! So pissed off grrrrrr!
Oh what to do when I'm left in a place with no internet I shall die die die
THANK YOU CYNTHIAAAA 


And always thanks to Cathy too for helping put her head together with mine to figure out what Takki's saying LOLOLOL 
(btw he spelled this all in hiragana instead of with kanji like he usually does)
The weather was so good my eyeballs got sunburnt 
Yesterday we had a hakkenshi (8 dog warriors) drinking party yo
We drink drank and drunk yo
It was so much fun 










Shall I tell you of the Taiga wrap up
The all-up day started in the morning, but even so we only finished the shot until the next day at 8 in the morning, and for the wrap up the following day, about 200 people including the cast participated yo
The taiga dorama staff were comprised of 2 teams so it was twice the number of people compared to a regular dorama da yo ne. A lot of the actors were present too, and everyone kanpai (drinking toast) yo
Also, the second party was a Yoshitsune staff band live performance
Everyone sang and danced
I brought a tripod camera along, right now I'm working on editing the footage desu
The third party was at a darts bar kind of a place, everyone played darts and games while drinking, Nanchan was the champion
The fourth party we all went drinking and be merry at the karaoke
I wouldn't miss out on Kisanta fading out
Yahari must decapitate da na
What is the fifth party? Aa at izakaya-san
(izakaya = pub/bar) And it got to around 6 AM in the morning
Anyway I'm telling you this while quietly reminiscing naー
Nanchan was talking enthusiastically even though he was dozing off
The last one was karaoke again
Our voice was almost gone
And we finished everything there
It got to 10 AM in the morning
One whole year's worth of playing
After this all ended the Yoshitsune team still plans to get together for a drinking party again yoー
Kisanta is the coordinator
Yoshitsune team's bond is really more sugoi than anyone else desu 
(congratulations)OMGWTFBBQ



Is this like...... 40-day-40-night-long YOSHITSUNE WRAP UP PARTY or something
OMG my eyes getting more
and
as I read every other sentence OMGWTFBBQ!
LOL!!!!
Thank you to momo-chan and cynthia
Thank you thank you thank you thank yoooouuuu~~~

The moment we clasp our hands together (in prayer) the rain suddenly came down really heavy, we were so shocked yo
Everyone was saying that it was like they felt Yoshitsune-sama ne! If it is so then it's good naー
Iyaー I was really surprised by that yo 
Now everyday it feels very flat ne
The usual life, at the same space, the same members, all together for the same amount of time, it's now over ne. It feels very lonely desu
Aa now I'm getting an e-mail from Kisanta
He said he just changed his keitai
Going into my Yoshitsune mode I said, you went digital ka yo 
I'll go ask Benkei to go decapitate Kisanta
I'm also doing my best in Sato-kenー 

De-de-decapitate
Ko-ko-kowaiiiii
Yoshitsune-sama why so cruel
LOL! Ahhh but it's so cuteeee... the way he still refers to them in their Yoshitsune characters!!!
Ahhh Takki... you miss your Yoshitsune gang, don'cha? Don'cha?
Awwwww....
Ahhhhhh no matter what I really do believe that Popolo ALWAYS has the BEST INTERVIEWS and articles!
Takkiiiiii~~~~
Everytime I read Popolo, the more I'm sure that:
THIS IS THE KIND OF A PERSON
I WANNA MARRY!!!

★ to blogspot
June 10, 2003 ~ September 30, 2005 would make 843 days in total
Looking at my blogger dashboard I'm seeing that I have 818 posts
which means that in average, I almost blogged every single day for this past 2 and a half years?
I suppose all good things must come to an end... anyway, the archives will always be there if anyone needs to go back and read my neuroticism *LOL*
★ to me
Almost a week of tweaking b2evo
*DIES* 'nuff said!
But I think it's going to be much more organized here, and I hope it won't get too confusing for you ne... 

★ to takki 
He wrapped up Yoshitsune yesterday!!! (He updated a new Takiren #183 last night! I'll translate later here... SOON!) Ahhh... suddenly feeling a mix of happy and sad too, because it's like, you watch him "grow" into such a more amazing actor through Yoshitsune, you watch him bond with more senior actors in the likes of Matsudaira Ken (Benkei) and Nan-chan (Saburou)..... I think that it's safe to say that I believe the Yoshitsune family will remain bonded for a lifetime now
Ahhh..... so touched...
Anyway, super otsukarechan to Takki~ may you continue to make more incredible masterpieces in the future 
We'll always love you and support you~
