Dude I'm really not a fan of rumors or gossips but at the rate of Takiren drought, TV drought & anything Takki drought lately... I'm just glad that I heard something about him! Seriously! Finally! A Takki gossip!!! I was beginning to think he was freakishly well-behaved idol, like TOO WELL-BEHAVED that he was rumor-immune! But the drought had been terrible though, like last time we used to be able to know immediately that he just got a haircut yesterday but now... he only occassionally "remembers" of his J-web corner at a minimum span of every 3 weeks!
So anyway, sakura just told me that this entertainment site she always frequents just published this gossip about Takki. I read it and apparently they quoted themselves off the gossip magazine 「週刊女性」 (Weekly Josei)....

OMG really?! uragirimomo just told me that on Tobase, Tsubasa said that Takki gave him a BIKE for his birthday?! And I think that when Japanese say "baiku", most of the time they are referring to a MOTORCYCLE rather than a bicycle! Holy motherloads of cash, Zubaranger Takki!!! 
He's gone from jumping shoes, to a Sharp AQUOS LCD flat screen TV to a freakin' MOTORCYCLE! You can't even box or giftwrap a motorcycle yo!!!

Wow, I must say I'm extremely shocked at the news! First Cathy came screeching to my MSN this morning saying she got the news from Tako, then Tako herself was crying on my sms, so I smsed Ami, then more smses rolled in from some of my other friends, more MSN windows popped up――yo wait a second?! Aren't I a Takki fan???! *LOL* How come my world is just as chaotic when Akanishi Jin decided to "take a temporary break" from the entertainment world? *LOL*
When I thought about how if it had been Takki who announced that he's popping off from the entertainment world like this, it dawned on me how the Jin fans must be feeling! I would be crushed, lost, devastated beyond anything! But then I wonder if the Jin fans are actually lucky?! Sometimes I feel like this whole JE-related obsession is like one big giant addiction that you just can't QUIT from no matter what! It's like, worse than trying to quit smoking (not that I know about quitting smoking coz I don't smoke~)
*sigh*
I can only say, keep the faith! Think of it in a way that maybe this is really what Jin wanted, or needed? ...and hope that Takki will always be there to drive him back to the right path, whatever is best for Jin.
Makes me wonder if this was impulsive, or did Jin talk it out with the people close to him, like maybe Takki? Since Takki is quite the model of all things is filial and obedient in Johnny's? Haha~ It's actually funny how aki made this illustration in her head where Takki wakes up this morning and rolled on his bed, a'la Meiji Theobro Cocoa CM *LOL*... then he gets up and makes his Meiji Cocoa, and reads the newspaper while drinking it and suddenly SPLURTS IT ALL OUT in shock when he read the news of Jin's temporary leave?! *sigh*... I guess only non-Jin fans could cook up something witty about the whole thing right now huh?
Jin, please take care!!! 
*goes off to continue my Zubari entry*

I apologize for being completely negligent over the blog and the website lately. I'm only following my captain's footsteps, you know, how Takki had completely forgotten that he has a J-web corner collecting dust and growing fungus somewhere? But anyway, a batch of magazines just arrived in my Kinokuniya this weekend, yay! (Although it's really NOT a yay for my poor wallet!)
So do check out the gallery, and yes yes I still haven't opened the +takizawa-hideaki.NET for registrations yet either because when I said I will work on approving the pending registrations previously, I was really lying coz my lazy butt hasn't done a single registration approval HAHA. But I'll really work on it this month!
...and I'm translating Takki's latest Popolo article, I hope I could get it done by tomorrow so we can all take the test to see if we qualify as Takki's dream koibito or if we need to start taking "how to cook rise, make miso soup and fry fish 101" courses!
Also, for the record, I actually abhor "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt because at some point in the middle of this year, that song was just OVERPLAYED on StarWorld due to James Blunt being [V]Channel's Chosen One or something, and PLUS, that song was being used for promo spots of the Miss USA pageant airing on the channel at that time. I got so sick of hearing "You're beautiful~ you're beautiful~" everytime I tune in to that channel and I even STOPPED watching that channel altogether. So TV channels, please stop overplaying James Blunt or I'll stop watching your channels, thank you.
I just thought that excerpt of the lyrics were perfect for this image of Takki 
P.S.
Let's see if the comments will go haywire again or not... I still believe Dithers is a virus carrier
Sometimes it makes me wonder, is it just me or is TIME just going by 100x faster now than the way it used to? It's like so hard for me to actually find a decent quiet time where I can just sit down, browse the internet, read stuff, or even blog my mountains of Takki Thoughts! It's like, when I was a kid, it feels like FOREVER just go get through school hours, which was like only from 7 AM to 12 noon! And now? I sometimes don't even realize it and suddenly we're already on the last quarter of 2006! Where in the heck did 2006 go?

Takki, first show otsukaresama
It's only the first show and reading various reports about it already made me really really REALLY wanna just 
TELEPORT myself to Tokyo and whack a dafuya dead in front of Nissei Gekijou and steal all his One! tickets!!!! 
A lot of the fans were surprised at the disclosure of previously unknown events about Takki's life! I'm surprised too that he would actually open quite an amount of his deepest most personal details of his family life and situations in public like that 
But somehow, I think this is definitely a big step for Takki to be willing to do this. I get the feeling that he didn't have such a happy childhood at home but now that he's being very open with this means that he's finally facing his own demons and making peace with them We're very proud of you, Takki~

It's that time of the year again, Takki fans... (actually this makes the 2nd time this year) where we wish our Takki the best of luck on the opening day of his stageplay
So all the best of luck, Takki, for yet another month-long dedication to theatrical arts at Nissay, may the show be a huge success, and may the experience of 「ONE!」 result in an even more amazing Takizawa Hideaki than ever before~
Speaking of 「one!」, the official goods are listed as follows on Johnnys-net:
● Pamphlet \2,000 JPY
● Poster (2 types) \800 JPY each
● Postcard set (1 set of 3 Takki postcards) \500 JPY
● Shopping Bag \500 JPY
Hmmmm they didn't list official stage photos yet... so I don't know if they'll have any? But usually they do, desho
I guess we'll just check back along the way~

Did you all meet EVIL ASSASSIN TAKIZAWA yet on the Takkicon DVD
I haven't completely finished watching the Takkicon DVD last night coz I came home really late and was so tired so I decided to just 
but I caught few glimpses of EVIL ASSASSIN TAKIZAWA whom in his first appearance in the DVD introduction, I absolutely did NOT realize that he's supposed to be an *ahemLOL* ASSASSIN DIES!
Oops I just semi-spoiled you fufufu Anyway, behind the "More" are more visual spoilers so proceed at your own consequences ya~
I've finally proved my conspiracy theory that my home address had been unfairly red-flagged by stupid moneyfaced evil Indonesian bastards working in customs 
I've been getting so much problems with my recent CDJapan order shipments where they always get "DETAINED" at the post office and I ended up having to drag my ass all the way to their rundown third world building and getting charged bogus "ADMINISTRATIVE/MISCELLANEOUS TAXES/FEES" crap that's almost as expensive as CDJapan's shipping fees alone!!! So this time I had to sakusen my shipments and deliver the CDs + Tsubacon DVD to my Singapore home, where I could pick it up just in time when I was there last week, and then send off my Takkicon DVD to my downtown apartment address in Jakarta, where I suspect the address has *NOT* been red-flagged yet by stupid moneyfaced evil Indonesian customs bastards! And I WAS RIGHT!!!! My DVD has arrived safely without any bogus detainment or any bogus taxes/fees/crap like my previous shipments have been forced to suffer 
I can't believe that I actually have to devise a SPECIAL SHIPPING SAKUSEN when online shopping just because I live in a freakin' sad-ass corrupted stupid country like this!!! This majorly sucks!!!
And yappari AVEXTRAX is KECHI (and super evil and zurui) momo and aki had previously told me that since all three of us bought both Tsubasa and Takki's solocon DVDs, we can actually mail in some kind of slip/coupon that's included in both DVDs back to Avex, and in return they will send us back a mystery 
"Special Present" of some sort And just today I was reading all the details on the official website, and saw that there's a HUGE DOWNSIDE to it, because there's a return postage for the Special Present that we have to pay for in the form of a Postal Money Order worth 300 JPY that needs to be included when we mail in those slips/coupons from the DVDs 
So, despite that we have paid DOUBLE for 2 DVDs we still get charged for our "Present"'s postage?!
スペシアルプレゼントなんか欲しいぃぃぃぃよ～
欲しい！！！！
*sigh* The downsides of being an international fan Hmmmm I wonder if they'll accept International Postal Money Order? But only for 300 JPY 
I think the IPMO purchase fee would be more expensive than the value itself? LOL 
Or maybe I'll just be completely stubborn and indignant and just send the slips and enclose a 1000 JPY bill inside haha~ but knowing them, they'd probably return it to me, or worse... because my return address is overseas I won't get anything returned at all, it'll just disappear into thin air *sobs*
OMG I'm now holding the Takkicon DVD! I just sent someone to pick it up from my concierge and bring it here to meeeeeeee hohohoho okay end rant (for now!) Eeek OMG the backcover is CHOU KAWAIIIIIIIIIII 
OMG Hidezo!!!! KAWAIIIII!!!! Why didn't they use this as the front cove instead this is chouuu kawaii hahaha although I think if they used Hidezo as the front cover people might get super confused hahahahah and confuse the Hideaki Takizawa con DVD with some kiddy cartoon DVD? 
I still can't believe this... I'm looking at the printed setlist and saw for myself finally the word 「だから」 (dakara) *THUD THUD THUD*... I still can't believe Avex would make such a CARELESS mistake!!! I mean dude... to MISPRINT your own artiste's song title on said artiste's DVD???? 
I'm still super curious at what Takki actually thinks about this...... I'm quite sure he must've felt somewhat upset or disappointed, I mean after all, it's a song that he wrote HIMSELF! If I was a songwriter and someone butchered my song title I'd be hella pissed! LOL XD
OK I wanted to rant over the fact that heard from other friends, that Tsubasa was not included in the DVD but I think I should hold off on that until I actually watch the DVD 
Juunigatsu no hana!!!! *gushes*
以上です～
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.
Woahhhh Takki's solocon DVD is #1 on yesterday (2006/08/29) Music DVD daily ranks!!! YAY! I hope my DVD arrives tomorrow, I really need to see if they really misprinted da.ke.do as dakara!!!! OMG if they really did, that is such a FATAL FLAW MISTAKE!!!! *DIES LAUGHING*... how can Avex commit such a serious crime??? XD Seriously though, the song *IS* called da.ke.do and NOT dakara desho???? AND OMG THEY INCLUDED JUUNIGATSU NO HANA!!!! *BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE HAPPILY* I was sooooo worried they would cut it out!!!!! T__T Ahhhh ureshii naaaaaa~~~~ okay gaman gaman... DVD please hurry up and arrive in my mailboxxxxx!!!
