Say what? He changed his keitai AGAIN??? I hope he's still using DoCoMo though.

I gotta say though, I'm not lying when I say this, but when I was reading this Takiren initially, the minute I got to the line where he says "Because I'm doing the challenge of being an onnagata..." I totally KNEW IT that he was gonna ask us to crossdress too! ROFL... funny how he didn't forget to acknowledge his male fans, although it's so obvious that he knew most of his audience are but that last line just sounded like he's trying not to generalize his fans XDDDD

I still can't wait to see THAT WOMAN on TV next year XDDDDD

Happy Birthday Aibo! I really hope you had a great day today~ yes, this may be a little late, but I'm not technically late coz I already smsed her at 1 AM and also called her this morning LOL but I just can't let this day go by without writing something here.

I don't have any fancy schmancy birthday graphics this year, but I think words would be more suited to be able to express what I have to say on your birthday What I say may seem repetitive year after year, but I think that there can never be too many times that I can tell you how glad I am to have you as a friend, and to know you all these years. Just to think about how randomly we met by chance, it also reminded me just how easily it would've been for us NOT to have met, and thinking about how it would be if I had NOT known you, then there would be quite A LOT OF FUN MEMORIES that has to be erased and my life would probably be kinda hollow!!! @_@

You know, it was until I have you as a friend that I truly understand the meaning of "opposites attract". Before that I never truly believed that opposites attract is actually POSSIBLE at all, but look at us! Just like what Takki said in his letter to Tsubasa, in this whole time we've known each other, I'd also be lying if I say it's been nothing but happy times! I'm sure that in one way or another we've annoyed each other albeit only mildly, but we've managed to still be here today as friends and still laughing together and never really grow apart even though we're now so busy with our jobs and hardly run into each other online nowadays. I truly think that we have a very special friendship because it is quite AMAZING to see that two very headstrong people who are not very agreeable (me 35%, you 0% agreeability in that Facebook personality test LOLOLOL) in real life, can actually get along for so many years, and to think about it, we've really never had a fight AT ALL!!!

So... Aibo, I'm gonna tell you this again this year, and I'll probably tell you again next year, and the year after that, and the year after that, and so on, and so on... that I'm really really glad that you found my blog on the internet, that we became real friends thanks to Takitsuba, and that we're still friends beyond the Takitsuba fandom. I wish you a very very happy birthday, and hope that we'll take another crazy trip to Japan soon... but before that, I'LL SEE YOU THIS WEEKEND IN... *beep* XDDDDDD

This is called "really making use of your time in traffic"...

Takizawa Rengou Vol. 313 - September 10, 2007
Otsukarechan
Tomorrow Takitsuba turns 5 years old da ne This 5 years spent with all of you have been a very thick and dense 5 years I think But there's still a looooong way to gooo~ To be honest, there may be a lot of impossibilities, but we are going to do as much as we're able to Maybe I'll go eat cheesecake by myself tomorrow~

To all the employees.
Thank you for everything up to this moment nee There will still be times when we would be borrowing your strengths again, but yoroshiku
 
 
 
Dondakee~

Dorehodoo~

Doredakee~
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
No meaning in particular.

Dondakee~~~ XD

I'm still not sure how to use it correctly in a sentence... Sakura-chan told me about this vogue word when I was in Japan last May but even she's like... dunno how to use it properly in a word... just say "Dondakeeee" whenever hahahaa XD The thing is "dorehodo" and "doredake" actually have meaning hahahaa oh he's being such a dork as usual... but yeah it has no particular meaning in this Takiren coz he's just rhyming with "Dondakeee" I guess... XD

I guess vogue words do catch up with Mr.Takizawa Hideaki ne!

And WHY THE HECK did he say he's going to eat cheesecake by himself on Takitsuba's anniversary??? Liar liar pants on fire!!! XD Cheeky Takizawa trying to get all his fans to go AWWWWWW~ and stir up thousands screaming "I'LL EAT CHEESECAKE WITH YOOOOOOUUUU~~~~" XDDDD *whacks him* XD

Oh I've finished translating and I'M STILL NOWHERE CLOSE TO HALFWAY HOME!!!! WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!!!

I hope traffic gets better when the fasting month starts tomorrow... at least after 6:00 PM the roads will be completely empty and I can just zoooooooom home

WTF EARTHQUAKE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! I was at the 6th floor of my new office in the middle of a business call when I feel dizzy and heard creaking noises... and the window blinds started SWINGING!!! For a moment I thought my aircon was on so high it started blowing on the window blinds and then I realized... NO WAY MAN, THIS IS FREAKIN' EARTHQUAKE!!!!!

I just spent about 20 minutes waiting downstairs at the lobby with some colleagues... coz I panicked and immediately ran downstairs after locking my door... stupidly enough, leaving all my belongings upstairs, including my cellphone... so I have to come back upstairs to get it!!!

Better zip home now Bye!

First of all... CDJapanは遅かった！！！ There I was waiting and waiting for their NewsMail and then Aibo told me that the links are out and I was like... but there's no NewsMail yet!!! So I checked their site, lo and behold, links are up! Aiyaks baka~ I guess we shouldn't really rely on NewsMail!

Secondly...

12,070 JPY....

How much was 2wo You 4our You again? Why is it that this time it felt ASTOUNDINGLY EXPENSIVE??? I can't even remember anymore how much I paid for 2wo You 4our You? OH... now I remember! I ONLY BOUGHT TWO VERSIONS!!! Then Aki bought me the Regular Press, which got switched by HMV with some WTF Boards of Canada band... but eventually I got it as my bday present! THAT'S WHY...!!!

I just went click, click, click all 3 without thinking, and checkout... + EMS - 400 points it came up to 12,070 JPY. I was in a hurry to rush out to a meeting so I didn't ponder on it much and just click PROCESS ORDER.

Now I thought about it... FRAK. THAT IS EXPENSIVE!!!! ...FOR CDs!!!!!

Should I cancel the [CD+DVD] version kana??? But what if it runs out??? But DAMN IT'S EXPENSIVE!!! 4000 YEN ARGH!!! For a DVD with contents I seemingly ALREADY HAVE!!!! Grrrrr...

Just saw the BEST ALBUM track listings on the Avex website...

Actually, I'm really psyched about the extra CD in the [CD+CD] version... REALDX!!! Koi yo!!! AMAGAWD!!! But the main CD tracks... WTF?

Errrrrrr............

THAT'S NOT THE BEST OF T&T!!! That's simply EVERY SINGLE SONG EVER RELEASED AS A SINGLE!!! + their first 3 debut songs!!! THUD!!! And most of them were already recorded on AT LEAST 2 released CDs, so yeah... I guess we reeeeaally need to have them in a 3rd CD huh!!!!??

I seriously didn't think they would RE-RELEASE ALL THE SONGS THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN RELEASED AS A SINGLE AND IN SEVERAL ALBUMS... AGAIN!!! I was telling Toro-chan about BEST ALBUM news earlier this morning and she was laughing at me saying that it's probably gonna be like... SAMURAI reggae version or x~DAME~ hip hop version or something XDDD And I told her nooo wayyy, it's gonna be Junior songs (coz I really didn't think they'd do something so redundant---like the TAKITSUBA CLIPS DVD XD) But apparently... I was too naive to think that Avex wouldn't cheat us like this!!!

And even though I'm psyched about the Junior songs CD.... I'm still kinda bummed that it doesn't include 894 Hakushi or CIRCLEEEEEE~~~ T_T Oh well... I guess I can't complain much since they have REALDX and Koi yo... I guess I'll cry MORE if they didn't include Koi yo! XD

Speaking of which... I just realized that not only do fans have to fly to 55 locations across Japan, they also have to buy 55 CDs coz apparently each code is only valid for a SINGLE DOWNLOAD??? Holy shit ZAT EEZ MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if anyone in Japan will actually embark on this "COLLECT ALL 55 WALLPAPER COMMEMORATION OF T&T'S 5TH ANNIVERSARY" Holy Grail Pilgrimage? I can just imagine myself taking 2 weeks off from work and going on a ROADTRIP across Japan and randomly downloading wallpaper images... THAT I PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO BRING HOME UNLESS I BUY MYSELF A JAPANESE KEITAI!!! Thud. The things we'd do for T&T.

Nah, actually, I don't think I'm anywhere interested in roadtripping across Japan for... keitai wallpapers XD

It's on OCTOBER 17!!!!!!

Woah... oh bery shokku!!! But nice timing though, announcing it on Sep 11! Well... just a flash on Avex page... and some newspaper pages... but here's the CRACKPOT info that I gathered about it from the short time I skimmed through the Sanspo page in the car ride to work:

I'm psyched about POINT 1-4 but THE REST MAKES ME GO WTF???

WHOEVER CAME UP WITH THIS CRACK SHOULD BE SHOT DEAD!!!

Like... wha??? You have to roadtrip across Japan to collect CELLPHONE WALLPAPERS???

WHAT ABOUT US OVERSEAS FANSSSSS!!!!

...not that I'm particularly *THAT* interested in cellphone wallpapers... considering that it's Japanese keitai wallpapers... it probably won't be able to be used in a Nokia or a Sony Ericsson Bleh.

CDJapan's preorder links are not out yet... well I guess I'll just wait for the Newsmail? Can they please just hurry up and post the links already??!

But seriously, again, WHO CAME UP WITH THIS SHEEEET? LMAOOOO... Well, I gotta say it *IS* pretty creative... but argh I do hate anything having to do with JAPANESE KEITAI simply because WE WHO LIVE OVERSEAS CAN'T GET IT!!!! And I thought the YUME CARDS caused enough frenzy already BUT NOW THEY'RE MAKING THE FANS GO ON AN AMAZING RACE KIND OF THING ACROSS JAPAN!!!!! LOL! Oh be still my logic that's hanging by a thread... XD

OK... gotta go to a meeting now ==33

What day is todaaaaaaay???

Aw seriously, Takitsuba's 5th Anniversary COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AT A WORSE TIME THAN RIGHT NOW FOR ME!!! It's almost 3:00 AM and I'm still up (whereas I don't usually stay up this late anymore coz of work) Me and Aki have been so busy we haven't even been able to CATCH EACH OTHER ONLINE to figure out what we want to do to commemorate SEPTEMBER 11, 2007! I figured... oh maybe I'll catch her in the afternoon after my regular morning meeting to start figuring it out... then I come back to my office and found that OFFICE INTERNET WAS DEAD FOR THE DAY. Perfect. So we said, OK we'll do it after work today... but then I GOT STUCK IN TRAFFIC because Jakarta traffic had turned up its craptastic level up by 10 notches or something in the past week! I only got home at... 8 PM =_=# hopped in the shower, ate dinner, came online at... 8:45 PM ~_~#

Met Aibo online... ohisashiburi Aiboooooo BWAH... seriously! Really, LONG TIME NO SEE AIBO! We were stumped for hours and we could've just said, oh hell with it, I wanna relax and go to sleep... but I dunno... anniversaries come every year, but 5th Anniversary only comes once in a lifetime, and for me, it marks the first baby milestone before they hit the big 10... so we played and tweaked and played and tweaked on our Photoshop... and we laughed so much while doing it because we're both being super boke and baka tonight (maybe T&T effect really rubbed off on us after all these years) First I uploaded my page... then I panicked coz the image went X and won't show up!!! Then turns out... I FORGOT TO UPLOAD THE IMAGE!!! THUD. So I upload the image... and it says BANDWIDTH STEALER!!!! XDDDDDD Turns out Aki made the subdomain but forgot to include it in the hotlink protection list on our cpanel XDDDD THUD x100000 Seriously, we've never been this INSANELY BAKA before!!! XDDDDDD

But anyway, I'm really glad for this day. And I'm glad that after all these years, I'm still here to celebrate it with Aibo... Yes, indeed five years is still a very young age, but Takitsuba really worked so hard all these years and persevered and dedicated themselves to their work to have brought this day to us.

So... Congratulations for Tackey & Tsubasa for hitting this 5-year milestone... thank you for these great 5 years you've given your fans. And here's wishing you 10000x more 5 years to celebrate!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Although I *AM* kinda wondering... WHEN THE HECK IS THIS ANNIVERSARY EVENT GOING TO HAPPEN??? Thud... if they suddenly have some kind of a *SURPRISE* PUBLIC event today I'm going to kill myself LOL thud XD

OH YEAH... so Aibo reminds me I'm supposed to PLUG my page? LOL

Just head on to the +takizawa-hideaki.NET root page
