When I was visited aki in Malaysia, the moment I touched down in her room she immediately said she got a surprise for me and ran out of her room down to her kitchen and came back with... an RTD sachet pack of Amino Collagen that she brought home from Japan for meeeee!
Chu~ aki
(again, with my Amino Collagen pouty lips LOL) for giving me my first ever taste of Takki's Amino Collagen "health drink", although at that time, I was absolutely completely oblivious of what kinds of health benefits Amino Collagen has for me. The only thing in my mind is that, dude... if Takki says it's good for our health, then IT'S GOOD FOR OUR HEALTH! Dakara DRINK!!!! (no questions asked!)
My first impression of it was... "Ewww why is it all gooey and clumpy?"
I dunno, maybe Amino Collagen was in pure liquid form but it becomes gooey yogurt-like and clumpy when refrigerated? I was expecting a pure liquid form but when I drew first taste this clump of gooey stuff shot into my mouth but hey, it's kinda nice too! And it has this fruity flavor, I can't even put a finger on what it is now... strawberry? Wakannai~
In my Takki fangirl dorkiness, I actually saved the empty package of my first Amino Collagen from aki and I had planned to have the insides cleaned and filled up with tap water for the package to regain its original shape and then it'll go on my Takki display closet next to my still-unopened-and-probably-very-expired Oronamin C bottle 
Seriously, I really don't even know what "Collagen" is, I just know that it's the stuff that gets injected to Jessica Simpson's lips (and every other Hollywood female celebrity for that matter XD) When I found more Amino Collagen in many many more different kinds of forms (bottled liquid and canned powder) in Singapore, I kept passing by the pharmacy on my way home to buy one RTD packet every day and drink it while I'm walking home haha... ONLY BECAUSE IT'S A DRINK THAT TAKIZAWA HIDEAKI ADVERTISES *thud*
And even then I didn't even know what exactly I was drinking. When we were drinking it in Malaysia, the packets aki bought were from Japan and it has no english labels so I didn't really bother to read what the ingredients are, and the ones I saw in Singapore had a label written in English stamped on the back of it and suddenly I saw that it contained fish and shrimp? WTF? LMAO XD And it was only today that I wikipedia-ed the word "Collagen" and saw this:
Along with soft keratin, it is responsible for skin strength and elasticity, and its degradation leads to wrinkles that accompany aging.
o___O!
WRINKLES IYADA YO~!!! 
OH-KAY! I'm gonna go hunt for Amikora in every single Japanese supermarket in Jakarta! (despite there's other collagen products, why drink others when you can have the one that Takki advertises? LOL)
Speaking of Takki and Amino Collagen... I read in the website that they're gonna air a new CM version sometime in late September
it's for a new flavor I think? 
P.S.
I just caught up with my T&T reading, found the "love letter" excerpt that Takki wrote to Tsubasa in the Tokyo con~ it's sooooo AWWWWWW 

Ahh I'll blog it tomorrow, if I'm feeling up for it haha thud I'M SO LAZY NOWADAYS! *WHACKS SELF* 
P.P.S.
