What are the odds on the very same day I watch a backdated Zubari and saw that Kazuchan has memory problems ESPECIALLY with people's names, and then later on find out that on this same day also, both Takitsuba were recording the 8/8 Zubari and read a fan report saying that Kazuchan repeatedly made a mistake in calling Tsubasa into TSUKASA???
I was juuuust telling aki earlier today that maybe Kazuchan turned senile already LOLOLOLOL and now I read about this..... LOL! Maybe Kazuchan really needs some ginkgo biloba type supplements!!!! XD
Speaking of Zubari recording today~ uwaaaaaaaa from the description, it sounds like Tsubasa is gonna be the guest for the Unmei no karute segment!
DUDE! That segment is like... 70% of the show or something! Some of the guests sometimes put me to sleep
But it's gonna be Tsubasa this time That's awesome!!!!! LONG OMOSHIROI BAKA CRACKPOT TALK AND/OR GAMES I HOPE!!!!
But hmmmm... in many occassions I see Kazuchan always makes the celebs
BAWL
at the end of the segment! EVEN THE BIG GROWN MEN GUESTS!!!
Masaka she gonna make Tsuba bawl too?
I would wanna know HOW she's gonna make Tsuba bawl??? Or is that not part of the program this time? XD
P.S.
Update on beach event 
A fan dropped by at the Family Club today and saw this box (maybe for applications to join event) for T&T's beach event, and the label of the box says that the event will be held in KAMAKURA (yep, that's where Yoshitsune's brother, Yoritomo, used to rule from~ he was known as the shogun of Kamakura!) And if you're wondering, Kamakura is located a little bit South of Yokohama, but still in the Kanagawa area I believe....
*cries*
I wanna go to the beach with T&T *cries*
I wanna go baka-travelling with T&T!!! 


We were also recording a music bangumi today yoー
We might appear in a lot of the upcoming TV or magazines so you should check them out ne~
A-- I wanna go overseas
After I'm done with Nissay's performance where should I go kana
I really miss that feeling of being able to drink since morning in Hawaii 

Don't you wanna do a travel tour with Takitsuba kind of thing? Hold on, let me create the itinerary...
"Go~ go with Takitsuba"
・ Assemble at Narita
・ Meet up with Takitsuba
・ Metal detector
(I get detained here so please wait) *LOL!!!!*
・ Arrival
・ Free time
・ Night party
(Tequila party & Karaoke party)
・ 2nd after party
(HANI__MI* date party)
・ 3rd after party
(Club dancing party)
・ Lights out
...like that na 
I wanna doooー






I wanna do some interesting fun stuff yo ne~. I want this to come true someday ne.
*Refers to HANIKAMI (Honey Coming?), a TV variety show on Japan TV where a pair of celebrities (male and female) go on a very sweet date together~
BWAHHH~!!! 

I wanna goooooooooo on a Honey Coming date with Takki!!!!! 

Cathy once screeched to me about this show and showed me screencaps of a Mocomichi hanikami date and awwwwwwwwwww
IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOOO CUUUUUUUUTE AND 

ROMANTIC

OMG dies... I wonder if Takki will ever get picked to go on that show??? I think I'll probably be watching the show holding a huge ass chopping knife in my hand if he ever does 

*LOL*
Oh wait....
maybe we all misunderstood Takki
Perhaps when he was referring to a hanikami date he meant that he wanted to date TSUBASA

LOL!!!!! 
But wouldn't Tsubasa already be out cold
from the TEQUILA PARTY
LOLOLOLOL! 


Takizawa you should put tequila party 2nd coz we don't wanna go on a hanikami date with a drunken and falling tripping left and right T&T!!!
LOL!!!
Did he really write something like this for his Hawaii trip??? That's so... so...... soooo..... D O R K Y

I mean, I do always carry a compact sized notepad
with me whenever I'm travelling but I never really lay out my plans one by one, day by day... I just kinda have this checklist of what I need to do or what I need to get~ Hmmm OK maybe I do have certain places written and scheduled for certain days but bahahahahhaa
"Assemble at airport"

... that's the kind of itinerary I would get from my travel agent when I travel in a TOUR GROUP
LOLOLOLOL~ Takki you're so dorky~ 
God... if he ever made this come true...... *SQUUUEEEEEE*
But I'm really touched that he would actually even THINK about doing something like this, you know? With his fans?
Takki, you're so sweet and so good to us~ this is why we love you so 
Weeeell... it's a dream come true if we get to go
but if we don't get to go, it's worst nightmare
LOL~
OMGWTF Japanese fans returning from tonight's Utawara recording just reported that Takki blurted out some not-so-cryptic-clues this time!!!
Takki said that there will be some TACKEY & TSUBASA EVENT on 2006/08/08 at a still currently undecided BEACH location!!! 
Can I just say... it just damn sucks ass to not live in Japan right now
I wanna go to the beach with Takitsuba toooooooooo!!!! *CRIES THE PACIFIC AND ATLANTIC OCEAN COMBINED* 


OMIGOD... TAKKI.... 


HE ASKED ALL THE FANS TO WEAR...
BIKINI!!! 




asdfghjkl!#$%^&*(_+}{POIUYTREWQ/;'.,\{} that means Takitsuba will most probably be in their swimming trunks = hadaka, surrounded by THOUSANDS of screeching 








bikinissssssss omg this is a fan-who-cannot-go's ultimate nightmare 


Takizawa you ero ero ERO oyaji you
You could've stopped at "swimwear" but you just had to specify
BIKINI
didn't youuuuu?! And even demonstrated "bikini" by cupping his flat-non-existent-man-boobies
Hyaaaaaaaaaa I wanna whack whack whack whack himmmmm
whack whack whack whack Takki
WHACK!!!
Considering Takki's complete failure in getting the fans to wear kimonos to his solocon...... what are the odds that he'll succeed in propagating BIKINIs to be worn to this beach event? XDDDDDD ...but then again this is SUMMER... it was frikin ass freezing in December when he asked us all to wear kimono =.=#
Hmmmm... I guess this must've been *THE* Takitsuba natsu matsuri that avex mentioned cryptically sometime ago on their info update??? 
*continues to cry*
What if there's a T&T BANANA BOAT RIDE WITH THE FANS kind of thing???!!! 


*goes to hang self on a chili tree*
*DIESSSSSSS* 

THE PV IS SOOOO CUUUUUUTE~~~ 




I haven't grinned as wide as this in the LONGEST TIME!!! I haven't even seen the full version of the PV but I know that this will probably be the
BEST
Tackey & Tsubasa PV ever been made in the history of... Tackey & Tsubasa! *LOL*
Speaking of the PV... the wind blowing Takki's hair... WTF SCALP!!!
WTF I'VE NEVER SEEN SO MUCH TAKIZAWA SCALP EXPOSED BEFORE!!!
OMG TAKKI YOU REALLY *DID* SHAVE ALMOST HALF YOUR HEAD OFF UNDERNEATH ALL THAT HAIR DIDN'T YOU!
All I could see is... scalp.... LOL 
(Erm... and Tsubasa's right foot! XD)
More dorky wackiness...
Sorry this came so late
It's a freakin' novel!
Takizawa! Didn't I ask you to update your Takiren but NOT SO LONG so I won't DIE
translating it
I should've known... LOL. Thanks Cyn 
Ahhhh the feeling of getting magazines at no more than the REAL JAPANESE PRICETAG!
PRICELESS
Thank god for friends who make transit pitstops at Narita Airport 
Wink Up 08/2006..... OMG
Wackier revelations of Takki's Hawaii trip!!! 
This is what happens when one is out of school for too long, and when one was in school, one almost didn't really pay attention to the subject of GEOGRAPHY
LOL!
Cynthia was listening to Tobase while she was MSN-ing with me and she suddenly said that she THOUGHT she heard Tsubasa say that they shot the Ho!SUMMER PV in a place called
SAIPAN
! So I was like, dude, where's this "Saipan" place??? And Cyn was laughing coz she only THOUGHT she heard saipan or something of the sort but didn't think the place really existed coz she wasn't really listening
And I was thinking to myself also at the time, where on earth got a place called Saipan??? 
It doesn't exist! So I turned to my other window where tsumomo is and asked her if she heard where Tsubasa said they shot the PV? And at that time I reeeally thought that "Saipan" was just something Cyn heard fleetingly...
But then momo said:
I thought he said SAIPAN?
Ehhh!?
Two people heard "Saipan" either it's some weirdo Japanese pronunciation... or it really does exist! So momo and nere went googling and wiki-ing keywords "where is saipan" and read this glob of text on wiki where we only saw the words "north of Guam"
OK, the first thing that came to my mind was thank god they weren't in Bali or I would've really jumped myself into the flames of Merapi *LOL* So after reading the Wiki page and seeing that Saipan is more of a US Military Base and ALSO... kinda like sweatshop central for the likes of Levi's and Ralph Lauren
I said to Cyn why the heck didn't they just go to Jamaica or somewhere in the Caribbeans or something you know?
And Cyn was like, ehhh!? JAMAICA IS FREAKIN' FAR FROM JAPAN YO
And Nere was like, but isn't Guam far too? It's pretty much same place as Jamaica right? Both in South America???
*DIES* 
Cyn was squealing WTF NOOOOOOOO~
Guam is somewhere in the Pacific ocean
NEARER TO JAPAN THAN JAMAICA hello?! And after much more googling of world maps etc etc, WTF IT TURNS OUT THAT IT'S RIGHT ABOVE EASTERN INDONESIA; AND NEXT TO PHILIPPINES


The funny thing was at that same time I was asking Momo too... hey Guam is in South America right? AND MOMO SAID YES!!! LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO OKAY I FEEL A WHOLE LOT BETTER NOW for not being the only geographically-BLIND Takitsuba fan out there!!! 

I was cracking up soooo hard because like minutes after momo said yes, Guam in South America, Cyn was screaming NO IT'S NOT!!! in my other window and then after that we found all the maps.............. 
OMG SO CLOSE TO INDONESIA!!! TAKKIIIIII!!! *grabs* (erm yeah he's no longer there in Saipan but GRABS anyway)
Momo said we could've rowed boats to Saipan or something since it's so close!!! Or maybe swim or float over
Oh Takitsuba YOU wa zurui~~~ all so secret... turns out you were so close to our part of the world down here in third world Southeast Asia 
But better Saipan than Bali, I guess... haha.
So yeah... Saipan DOES exist, and Guam IS NOT in South America!
Are you freakin' serious?! Another musical?!!! @.@ momo-chan did mention it to me few days back about the musical rumors and I just kinda went Nyeh...
and OMGWTF he's really doing ANOTHER musical again??!
Like 2 musicals in a year??? Is Takki heading for a career change??? LOL!!! Is he specializing in theater now???
Takizawa Hideaki Recital 2006So *THIS* is what he went to Las Vegas to research for!!! OMG~ I suspected a musical in the works but I really did not expect more solo activities, I really thought it was gonna be a T&T musical!
*dies*... why all the solo activities 
And tako got this e-mail from Lisa who's in Japan, saying that it's gonna be a musical about Takki's life?????? 

I'm reading about it too now in all the newspaper sites... It's about how he became who he is today, learning in Johnny's Jimusho, his journey to become an idol, all packaged in one entertainment show! Whoaaaaaa...
HOW *HUGE* IS OUR TAKIZAWA HIDEAKI? 
He has a
MUSICAL
dedicated just to tell the story of his life!!!! OMG! Is he *THAT OLD* to get a musical made about his life? But but he's only 24
Somehow I find it veeeeery amusing!!!! LOL! Wow, Takki wow wow wow
I'm so proud of you 

I really am!!! 
(To be honest, I swear I really honestly *DO* feel happy and proud for him, getting a musical made of your life is *WOW*! But for some reason I'm not too entirely excited for myself that I started jumping off my seat and running cold sweat about it the way Takki solocon did for me last year ^^;; I don't think I wanna go to solo activities anymore but but but this is about his life! Ahhh doushiyou~ this is monumental! *shrugs* I don't know... my head is gonna explode soon, I'm not even done figuring my shipments for the CDs and DVDs~ it's so crappy being an overseas fan, it's SO HARD! *cries*)
...now, where's that Takiren!!!!

Eeee... should I cancel my Shanghai-Hongkong-Singapore plans for this.... 
This is ridiculous, how is it that I need some kind of a rocket science method to PLAN how I should be placing my online orders?! This is damn bloody ridiculous!
THANK YOU AVEX


(One wonders if one should really be thanking them for releasing everything ON THE SAME MONTH which may result in one's instant state of sudden poverty)
BUT THANK YOU, AVEX!!!! 


*happy dance happy dance happy dance happy dance happy dance happy dance happy dance happy dance happy dance happy dance happy dance happy dance happy dance happy dance happy dance happy dance happy dance*

And thank you aki for calling me on the phone
and squealing the news to me and kicking my butt to come online!!! (Erm I was actually online but my MSN wasn't on coz I was... secretly reading about Brandon Routh's Package of Steel
on The Defamer) 
Hmmm... [2006/07/12@10:05am]I don't know why there really isn't any other listings than these 2 places [@11:26am]CDJapan is so freakin' sloooowwww in listing Takki's DVD!!!
If I buy it from CDJapan but does that mean I'd have to WAIT until 2006/08/30 for my Ho!SUMMER CDs????
Iyadaaaaa~~~~~
But if I do two separate shippings... 

Crap... actually I'll be in Hongkong sometime during Ho!SUMMER's release... maybe I should just grab the Regular Press there, then AT LEAST I have 1 CD hmmmmm
OK I'm getting way ahead of myself... let's just keep throwing the confetti that solo concert DVDs are CONFIRMED and will be OUT SOON!!!! 


And now I'm wondering too if the CDJapan listings are First Press because there are no indication of such......
*counts budget for August*
3 CDs + 2 DVDs = 
Takizawa Hideaki where are you hiding out?! Still no Takiren!!! I DEMAND YOU UPDATE YOUR TAKIREN NOW

Oh Takki you make such such such an adorable and *tiny* superhero
But nevertheless, still a hero! Yeaaaaaah sentai ZubaRanger Takki save the world!!!
(and maybe kick Superman's ass? Or is that pushing it? XD)

Gooooo sentai ZubaRanger Takki!!! 


...and thank you for uploading, you know who you are <3333
Wow... Takki's solo REALLY is called
Taste me


What on earth kind of lyrics could one lyricist possibly write with such a whacked out title??? Unbelievable!
I'm gonna have a hard time explaining to my non-JE friends that my idol has a solo song titled "Taste me" god I can hear all the jokes already! 
Looks like Ho!SUMMER will be one very very busy (read: overplayed) song this summer
It's gonna be a theme song for some summer afternoon dorama called Gakincho ~Return Kids~ which totals 45 episodes running every Monday through Friday afternoons at 1:30pm, which means people watching TV will be listening to Ho!SUMMER for 45 days within the span of 9 weeks

AND ALSO, a theme song for baseball team, Tokyo Yakult Swallows's summer season matches too~ 

Underground mp3s are circulating ALREADY???? WTF? So fast?!
Must be coz radio requesting already started? *shrugs* I don't know how the thing works... that Usen thingy... 
Anyway... THE BACKGROUND VOCALS CRACK ME UP SOOOO MUCH!!! 

The song is sooooo WTF but I really like this song! (Erm, is there any T&T song I *DON'T* like? XD) It's WTF in a sense that it's FUNNY and CUTE!!! Hmmm maybe kinda the exact same reaction I had when I first heard Venus? I'm not really good with music genres but it's almost like... I dunno, rock 'n roll-ish? Sort of like the kind of rock in that movie, "That Thing You Do"
My point is it's super genki, very summer~ (thanks to some swooshing beach/sea water splashing sound effects at the very beginning and very end of the song LOL)
I can just see it already... T&T in Hawaiian print shirts, running on the beach, throwing beach balls, kicking sand, or maybe surfing and *GASP*... you think? You think they put girls in bikinis in the PV??? *DOUBLE GASP* 

But yeah back to the background vocals... LOLOLOL that whole
Ho summer~ ho ho summer~
SERIOUSLY just CRACKS . ME . UP !!!!!! 
Cute song though~
Anyway, here's a sample of Ho! SUMMER~
I cut a part of it out and saved it in a bitrate good enough to hear, but shitty enough so people who like it will STILL BUY THE CD
coz the bitrate is so shitty LOL! Yeah yeah I know, this might be a lost cause but STILL!!!!! BUY THE CD!!!!!!! 
BUY THE CD!!! 





RAWR! 



And of course, big big biiiiiig thanks to the friend in Japan~ 
何時も私たちの事を覚えてのはありがとうございました!
Whoa His Royal Otaku-ness made it to the newspapers
BIG BIG SIZED IMAGE TOO!!! The title of the article was so cute! "PRORESU DAISUKI ZUBARI MITA-WA YO!" lolll not zubari IU wa yo but MITA wa yo LMAOOOO HAHAHAHAHAHHAAA~~~

Ahhh sorry this is the best one I could find at the moment, ooooh yeah baby tanned Takki looks chou kakkoii doesn't he??
(Wow, he's actually THE SAME SKINCOLOR TONE as that pro-wrestler dude!!!! HAHAHAH usually Takki is soooo whiiiteeee~ XD) He's wearing his glasses too! Adds a super hot dorky touch, doesn't it? Speaking of which... he wears his glasses a lot to non-promotional events ne...? Like I think ever since last year he went to the Shounentai Playzone, and then when he went to Tsubacon... he just wears his glasses a lot these days! Not that I mind! XDDDDDD He's also wearing some kind of a black/grey leather-like vest over a white sleeveless t-shirt
(in which the vest reportedly came off when the match started---isn't this such an irrelevant information??? XD) and posing with a pro-wrestler AAAAAAA he must be so happy and exxxxcited to be there, after all he's SUCH A PRO-WRESTLING FAN!!!!
I read reports that a lot of pro-wrestling fans were all really excited to see Takki there too, they were all like "Look look it's Takki!"
and some guys were snapping photos of Takki from nearby and stuff
Ahhhhh so awesome that the pro-wrestling fans know that Takki is such a pro-wrestling freak too! He's just like one of them! 
You know how I find it quite amusing that Takki going to a pro-wrestling match is actually some kind of a NEWSWORTHY event worth a whole newspaper article/story in Japan. Last weekend I think, I was showing aki an actual Nikkansports article online that only pretty much has uh... 5 sentences in the whole article? And the whole story is only about Takki is a pro-wrestling fan and he's attending the match on July 3 and HE BOUGHT HIS OWN TICKETS! *DIES* That made an article in the pro-wrestling news section LOL. I love how his love for pro-wrestling is categorized in "PRO-WRESTLING NEWS" not "ENTERTAINMENT NEWS" 
Oh I also read that Takki was sitting next to an NHK producer, I think he produced Yoshitsune too... Suwabe Akio I think that's his name. And the Takki fan who went to the match said that she saw Suwabe-san repetitively bought some Pocari Sweat and handed it to Takki~ awwwww how nice of Producer-san 
Takki, I'm glad you could find time to relax and enjoy some free time by doing something you really really like, going to a pro-wrestling match
Now will you please update your Takiren and just rave to no end about how much you love love love love love love pro-wrestling???! PWETTY PWEASE?
With cherry on top?
Although... erm... not too long or I'll die just translating it heeh
