Waterfall & Wings Version 1

Before i start writing my report on Enbujo, i realised MANY people have went to watch it! Many people as in JE boys and VIPS from the industry alike. Very happy that so many people went to support Takki, or so I would like to believe that's their motive is anyway. Heheh. Not an exhaustive list but here are the names of some of them whom I am pretty sure went, in no particular order.

- Ken Miyake (V6)
- Domoto Koichi (Kinki)
- Higashiyama Noriyuki
- Kato & Tegoshi (NEWS)
- KATTUN (not sure if Jun and Maru went as well, but the other 4 definitely did)
- Actor Takahashi Hideki and his family (the one who acted as the kind Fujiwara Hidehira in Yoshitsune)
- One of Yoshitsune's director Kaori-san
- Famous scriptwriter Uchidate Makiko
- Minato Koichi (some senior mgmt staff from Fuji TV)
- Famous actor Nakamura Shinjiro from one of the important kabuki clans (I wonder if any from the Hanayagi clan went, the one Takki learnt his Buyo moves from)
- A group from the popular Takarazuka Revue (@_@''' but perhaps to also support one of their own, the girl acting as Kozue, or is it the mum? Haha~ One of them anyway)
- Some very senior mgmt staff from Toho (東宝), this famous movie production house (i am sure most of us will be familiar with this company's logo if you watch enough Japanese movies)
- Cast from Yoshitsune (including Kisanta, Jiro and Shizuka XDD)
- Kanjani8 (not sure who haven't went... but Subaru definitely did XDDD And i am DARN curious what he wrote in his diary to re-ignite the flame in TS fans.. hurhur)
- One whole slew of chibi juniors

I have this impression that i read somewhere that Ueda and Teppei (Cream Stew) already went too. Has Kazu-chan went? What about Mori Mitsuko and Kuronagi Tetsuko, since they both adore Takki so much? OMG, it will be the battle of the 3 obaasans then. LMAO~ Thou im pretty sure Kazu-chan will win hands down. Wonder if Jackie Chan stayed long enough in Japan to watch... Has Yamap went to see his dad?? And TSUBASA-HIMESAMA... Are you saving your grand entrance for the last?? XDDD Wonder if Matsuken Daira will turn up too... or is he too preoccupied with his just (re)married life? XD Has Matchy went? What about the Arashi boys?? I mean hello, Matsujun is a big Takki fan...

You know it's becoming a bit like Takki's examination musical. LOL~ He must be pretty darn stressed. Heard he was very nervous when he found out that Higashiyama was in the audience. Hahah~ But i love the fact that Takki's getting so much support. For being the person he is, he DESERVES all the love and support from them and all of us.

Then there was this reporter from Fuji TV's Mezamashi News who went to watch and she wrote her reviews on her online diary here.

I was invited by my friend to watch Takizawa Hideaki's "Takizawa Enbujo". At first I was wondering will we be very "extra" in the crowd, since most of the fans are young girls. But turned out there were many obaasans as well. The musical, from the moment it started, was full of surprises. The moving images that were used to enhance the visual effects, the magic tricks that got me fixated, the bungee stunts done right above the audience. The whole structure and performance was entirely a new form of entertainment and something that will attract even those who are not interested in period dramas. On the stage, the Johnny's Jrs work very hard for the performance and I began to have motherly thoughts like "from this group, our future idols will be born ne". But Takizawa-san is really sugoi! I realised anew, this person has amazing talents. He lets us be mesmerised by him. And we allow him to mesmerise us totally. The same person doing the feminine moves as well as masculine moves, he executed both brilliantly. I realised keenly that to achieve this, it is not enough just having great stamina but passion as well. (When I see Takizawa-san) on TV, I remember him as someone who has a very endearing smile and cute boy. But the Takizawa-san that I see on stage, he is totally a first-rate entertainer. Hats off to his professionalism. I received much inspiration/stimulus from him!

My Japanese ain't that kanpeki, but this is roughly what she said. To hear this from a non-fan, a non-Johnny's fan... i am sooo proud of Takki. *beams* It's true that Takki is no longer the top idol that he used to be, but you know idols don't last long. And I think he has surpassed that stage and moved on to something better. Let's all continue to support him!!! XDDD

Oh dear, i'm so motherly today. Hahaha~~
