Tonight's Shokura isn't as funny as last week's though, but I gotta say, I WISH I WAS PLAYING THAT GUESSING TAKITSUBA SONG BY ITS INTRO GAME!!!! I wish they had a bunch of Takitsuba fans playing that game, can you imagine every single one of us dashing towards the buzzer in a nanosecond every single time??!!! It'll be CHAOS!!! Even when they only played that 1 second intro of Sora no screen, I KNEW WHAT IT WAS... and then the hosts was also LOL-ing at the fact that Takki went "Eeeeh???" HAHAHAHA... meaning he didn't really know what the song was??? And then when Takki also said that it's "Muzukashii desu yo ne..." I almost fell off my chair!!!

BUT TAKKI, IT'S YOUR OWN SONGS!!!

Shouldn't you know them better than anyone else??

By the way, someone should really give Fumito Kawai a best monomane award or something coz he can always pull off Takki soooooo SPOT ON! It's hilarious!!! The way he monomane Takki's fidgeting shoulder singing SAMURAI is sooooo SPOT ON HILARIOUS!!!

There was this one part where Takki's face just looked very ??? at the intros... I think it was one of the sabitoro... the Venus or Yume one... LOL THE LOOK ON HIS FACE IS SOOOOO WTFFFFF COZ OBVIOUSLY HE'S VERY ??? AT WHAT HE'S LISTENING TO BAHAHAHAHHAA... which happens to be HIS OWN SONGS! HELLOOOOO EARTH TO TAKIZAWA HIDEAKI!!!! And what's worse was the last sabitoro for Ho!Summer~ like OMG... even though the arrangement was different but seriously IT WAS SUCH A DEAD GIVEAWAY THAT IT WAS HO!SUMMER... and Takki didn't even GET THAT until the other group started dancing the furitsuke THEN he was like OHHHHHHHHHHHH HO!SUMMER!!!!!

LAUGHS OUT LOUD ROLLING ON THE FLOOR~~~

Oh Takki... you're soooooooo hopeless XD Even Tsubasa was saying he was hidoi!!!! YES INDEED TAKKI, THAT IS VERY HIDOI THAT YOU DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE YOUR OWN SONGS!!!! XD I guess only the Takitsuba fans listen to the Takitsuba songs on repeat ne... I reckon it'll be super weird if Takitsuba themselves had their own songs ON REPEAT every day... ha ha ha... that's probably a new level of narcissism XD

*pats Takki*

Ahh yappari he's still the cutest of them all

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

Oh I love my PDA, I can update while I'm out accompanying my mom doing her furniture shopping xD And since some of you were saying how DEAD this blog has been (blame my work!!! xD) Hows this to stir things up alive around here:

TAKKI CAME TO SHOCHIKUZA TODAY

AND AKI WAS THERE TO WITNESS IT!!!!!

*bounces around the room*

Aibo called me juuuust now screeching "TAKKI WAS AT MY SHOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!" Waaaaaaaa I knew it I knew it I knew ittttt YATTA NE! And the BEST PART about it: TAKKI SAID "DOUMO" TO AKI WHEN HE PASSED HER SEAT!!!! Ahhhh Takkiiii

I forgot where it was I heard Takki promised that he'll "zettai iku" to Tsubasa's show... and he really did go!!! Ah ureshiiiii naaaa!!! I'm just so proud to have an idol like Takki who always keeps his words!! Like I said previously once... TAKKI'S PROMISE IS AS SURE AS THE RISING SUN!!!!

I hope he stays for the weekend and shows up again tomorrow... after all he's already in Osaka, might as well stay longer, right Takki? (Anyway so aibo gets to see him again tomorrow heh heh)

Aibo, start stalking FOOD PLACES!!!!!! XD You'll never knoooooooo~w...

AGHGGHGHGHHHH SO MANY TAKITSUBA RELATED EXPENSES!!!!! My eyes popped when Cyn told me last night there were freakin TEN sets of stage photos from 2007 Enbujou up for sale on J-web! (And yes, those TEN SETS I'm talking about are Takki's! Meaning there are more sets of other Juniors!) TEN SETS OF STAGE PHOTOS EQUALS THIRTY FRAKKIN' THOUSAND YEN ON JUST THE PHOTOS ALONE!!!! Isn't that like... USD 250??? Is it just me or is it a really absurdly ridiculous amount of money to spend on something made out of PAPER????

And yet we spend and spend all that money without even so much of a second thought, even if we know it's just PAPER but the fact that a Takki face is emblazoned on it makes all the huge difference! And everyone was being so evil, instead of discouraging me to NOT spend so much on stoopid photos they're all saying if I don't get all 10 sets I'll regret ittttt BWAAAAAAA.... SILENCIOOOOOO!!!! AVADA KEDAVRAAAA!!! So, I ended up getting ONLY *cough cough* 6 sets, and even though the album actually fits 40 photos but getting 8 sets means I MIGHT AS WELL GET ALL 10 SO I'M STICKING TO JUST 6!!!!! NO MORE TEMPTING ME ALL YOU EVIL EVIL PEOPLE!!! XD

...and that's only the photos yo. There's still the pamphlet (must have!), poster (not so much a must-have, but yeeah it's kinda a must-have), postcard (must have!), sensu (MUCHO MUST x10000 HAVE!), photo album (not so much a must have but since I bought stage photos it becomes an unfortunate necessity!)... and that ridiculously funny OIL BLOTTING PAPER (NOW THIS ONE IS A NO NEED TO HAVE XD) BWAHAHAHAHAAAA Aki, Cyn and I still laugh like hell everytime the subject of the notorious ENBUJOU OIL BLOTTING PAPER comes up~ it's just way too funny!!! AND NO, I DON'T WANT IT!!! ...wellll ok so maybe I kinda do, a little... XDDDD But that's just out of curiosity! LOL!

And I haven't fully paid my credit card debt with the Enbujou DVD charged on it. And I also backordered some magazines last month... and now my credit card will be charged again with the SAMURAI CDs... BTW, CDJAPAN SENT ME MAIL THAT SAMURAI CDs WERE SHIPPED OUT TODAY??? But today's only August 6?! That's... FAST! Yay! But with it being shipped to Indonesia, and August 8 being the day where everybody in Jakarta goes to punch a hole in a ballot to elect yet another useless governor... I'll probably STILL get it later than everyone else! Hmph.

Aghghghghgh so much $$$$ running out like a leaky faucettttt!!! I'm seriously AFRAID to tally up how much I've actually spent on one Takizawa Hideaki alone along 2003 to present time......... I'm afraid the amount sums up to a digit that could actually... buy me a car???

It's that time of the year again... where we spot the teenie tiny SLIGHT (such an understatement) DIFFERENCES between multiple photos after Nere returns and reviews all the photos she has brought home from Japan.

The one on the top was from the set I got at the concert, and the doppelganger twin below it was the one I picked out of a Johnny shop T&T wall of photos.

Oooh believe me, they ARE different! The difference is probably about 2 seconds of shutter capture, or a nanodegree of standing angle... I showed this to Ami and Toro-chan on Wednesday and the first thing Ami said was: "Oh oh! Takki's chikubis are both visible on the other photo!"

*DIES LAUGHING*

Very true. But the fact that THAT's what makes the two different is very... LOL.

THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is a living proof of the ebil ebil ebil ebilness of Johnny's Entertainment!!!!!!

And I'm sure I'll find more doppelgangers as I'm arranging all my scans by folder... just like I found those triplets of Takki-eat-grass from the Arigatou 2005 Sayonara shop photos!!! Will post more doppelgangers if I find more! ROFL~

Tadaima~
This trip was sooooo damn tiring for me that I can't wait to go home. I think that I can never live in Japan. I'll die out of misery FATIGUE! But once in awhile for a trip is OK desu! It's kinda a contradicting feeling too... it's like, I can't wait to go home, but also not enough time because there are still bajillions of things I still haven't done in Tokyo, or BOUGHT!!! But the thing is that THERE ISN'T ENOUGH LUGGAGE SPACE!!! Seriously I had to restrain so much shopping on the last few days just because I wouldn't know HOW exactly to lug them to the shinkansen back to Osaka and then to Malaysia and then to Indonesia (God, I make so many stops LOL) But anyway, I'm glad to be home... and relieved that back at work my subordinates were all able to hold the fort while I'm gone hehe...

I haven't had the chance to actually talk about some of my thoughts after leaving the concert hall. I was chotto pissed, and now even MORE pissed at that psychotic nutball known as that crazy apple beeyotch that's been stalking Takki all around this tour!!! She was actually at our Osaka con too! WTF!!! I heard someone scream something weird and I couldn't catch what exactly she screamed, this was during the end of the 1st MC though, and then aki told me that it seemed to be the crazy apple chick because she screamed: "SHINIGAMI! SHINIGAMI!!!" It was PRETTY LOUD and distinct and I'm pretty sure Takki heard her but he didn't flinch a single bit. I really hope that the T&T fans her immediately jump her and stab her to death or something because hell, if she was next to me I'd probably do that, or at least reprimand her to just LEAVE OUR TAKKI ALONE!!!!!

Why exactly am I pissed at this crazy chick?! Because throughout the concerts I felt that despite Takki is genki and all that, I can SEE and feel that he has changed somewhat in his attitude towards the fans. He used to be the friendly one, always reaching out to fans, touching them, making eye contact, and Tsubasa would be the opposite. But now, it's the other way around OMG, Takki feels so distant even when he's walking by the fans on the hanamichi, I rarely see him make eye contact or even LOOK UP towards the fans. He would just wave while passing by WITHOUT making eye contact! The only people he would touch are like... BABIES and LITTLE KIDS!!! (which was good for me because during the nibu I was sitting smack right in the oyako block so he made A LOT OF STOPS on my block hahaha) XD Like the time when Takitsuba appeared in the middle of the center arena mini-stages, the minute a crane swings by, Takki didn't spend another second on his mini-stage but he immediately jumped on it like he couldn't wait to get out of there, while I saw eh Tsubasa was still like dancing and waving to the fans on his mini-stage with the crane waiting for him!!! This happened on both shows, like Tsubasa stayed longer among the fans in the arena while Takki quickly jumped on his crane to get the hell outta there!

I thought I was the only one who noticed those little things but when I talked to Aki and Jam about it, they felt the same way too. And we were just wondering why he changed and the only reason we could come up with was probably the madness of that crazy apple chick. I don't get why this chick isn't banned from all the concerts already?! First, she exhibits such a crazy obsession that I believe is an endangerment not only to the artist but TO THE OTHER FANS AS WELL!!! Like I wouldn't want to get stabbed (literally) from the back just because some unstable crazy chick decides to prove that I'm an immortal being or some crazy sh1t like that!!! And most of all, I am very angry if she really turns out to be the reason why Takki changed into such a distant person now. Plus, this crazy onna really give all the fans A FREAKIN' BAD NAME!!!! Now Takki's gonna think that all fans are rabid psychoes like her

Sigh... I don't know. I'm just very disturbed and bugged by this. I just really hope that this woman won't pose any sort of danger to Takki in the future. Knowing how unstable and coo-coo her head is. I feel like yelling at her on her stupid blog but the last URL I had of hers was moved and I don't know where she blogs now (I don't stalk stalkers LOL)!

Seriously, crazy apple chick needs to GET A FREAKIN' LIFE!!! I'll never forgive her if she really did "break" our happy Takki!!! God, fandom just isn't the way it used to, is it?

Holy crap when was this ever cooked up??!!!! TAKIZAWA ENBUJOU DVD ??? REALLY??????? *jumps up and down around Sakura's room* When I saw CDJapan's Newsmail I was like WTF?! MORE RELEASES??? ALREADY??? I thought September??? Then I clicked and OMG that was totally unexpected!!! ENBUJOU DVD!!! Iyaiya... but that would be more charges to my credit card debt... wtf... in which, after this Japan trip, probably won't get paid off until the next millenium? LOL~

God, I'm sooooooo tired. Japan is sooooo tiring!!!! All I do is walk and lug all my shopping crap and change trains and walk some more and get squished on the train. OH HOW I MISS MY CAR AND MY DRIVER, MY BIG HUGE BED AND BATHROOM...... yes Jakarta maybe all crazy traffic, but at least my feet doesn't hurt!!! And traveling here on trains... oh my god. It's no party when you have a suitcase weighing a ton and NO FREAKIN ESCALATORS IN SIGHT!!! At least in Jakarta all I gotta do is jump in a car with my luggage already in the trunk, hop out of a car, wave to a porter and he'll take care or everything until I see my luggage off at the check-in counter. My friend is traveling Europe and the U.S. on a business trip right now and he kept sms-ing me everyday complaining about how sucky it is that he has to carry his own bags. God, we Indonesians are soooo spoilt LOL. The country may be stoopid sometimes, but we really take it for granted.

I just don't know how Aki and I am gonna do this on Saturday... catching our plane in Kansai with our SUPER-OVERWEIGHT BAGGAGE!!!!!!!!!!! OK better sleep now...
