"One! -the history of Tackey-" press conference

Press conference was held for Takki's recital on 14 Aug at Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. Some points that were made... and some of them were so awww..... i wanna pull him into my arms and give him a TIGHT HUG. =333

- Takki said how even children can have history when they experience deaths in the family or divorces etc. For himself, his parents divorced when he was still really young. Poor thing. He has my empathy. *hugsss* Not sure was it before or after he joined JE though.

- Takki was said to be born on a hospital bench. Apparently by the time his mum reached the hospital, all the delivery rooms happened to be full. So they had no choice but to set up for emergency delivery at the bench. Hmm.. i have no idea if this part is true. Then again, is everything that's gonna be in One true or somewhat true?? Alamak... Don't leave us guessing yo~~

- And as such, he will be shown dying as an old man at a park bench. Anoooo... KURASUGI!!!! CHOTTO MATTE YO!!!! Isn't this recital about the first half of his life (if you can even call it a 'half'. i wish for it to be a 'quarter' really.)??? Why is this part included yo.... my heart can't take it.... noo... *wailsssss*

- Times were hard after the divorce. He was brought up by his mother (not sure about his other 2 siblings) and financial situation wasn't exactly good. His mother used to make gyoza (fried dumplings) with tuna instead of pork cos they didn't have enough money... but Takki was apparently too little to tell the difference then. I think he found this out when he consulted her about his childhood for this recital.

- He took one week to write a report about his life, together with inputs from his mother, before submitting it to Johnny Kitagawa. Woah, to write about one's own life in a mere one week, i say our boy is damn disciplined!! LOL~

- Takki said he couldn't really accept it when his mother remarried and he had to change his surname to "Takizawa". HOLD ON A MINUTE... i THINK i got this part right. So this means that he wasn't named Takizawa when he was born?? That's not his birth name?? Okkkk.... but i kinda canNOT visualise him in any other names cept "Takizawa" now, which gave rise to his nick "Takki". Like hello.. Yamada Hideaki?? Ono Hideaki? Imai Hideaki? (LOL) I mean if not for his surname, the "waterfall" in my blog name would make no sense. *coughss*

- Although it SOUNDS dark, the recital will not be simply sad and gloomy. Takki just wants to let people know what go through children's thoughts when they experience events like divorce. And in this way, sends out a message to lonely children and (single) parents, assuring them that they are not alone in this and thus giving them some courage and light. Erai naa~~ *I* should watch this.. but i can't. *wailsssss*

- Let me repeat. This recital will not be entirely dark. It will show happy moments in Takki's life too. Well, that's life for you. :)

- 1st part of show will be about Takki's history. 2nd part will be about the current man that he is, and showcases the illusions that he learnt during his stint in Vegas (yes Dithers, don't be blur. It's the one with the casinos).

Chotto heavy-hearted after reading the articles. But i seriously think One will be more akarui than reported. I think the papers just zoomed in on the more newsworthy sad parts about an idol's life. Both him and Johnny did repeatedly said that it will NOT be a sad production. As in, the supposedly sad parts are not included just to provoke tears, but rather, to send a message. Tanoshimi desu ne... though i can't go. *cryssss* Wonder what kind of merchandise they will come up with for this one...

Ranking APPU! ^-^

Ho! Summer ranked at #3 on first day of release, after Southern All Stars and this rock band called anoo... Ellegarden?? Not sure who they are... at first i thought it was a non-Japanese band but i think they ARE japanese... So yea, chotto zannen dakedo. But ya know, Southern All Stars is kinda HARD to beat. XD And this Ellegarden. Hmmm..... mattaku shiranai~ But they beat this group to clinch #2 spot on second day!!! Yeaaah~~~~~ *dances around with pom poms* Hope the pattern continues!! ^-^

Bonnie-chan, i KNOW how frustrating it is, with the uploads everywhere and all. But oh well, some people just don't care enough. They want every album or movie, but refuse to pay. "What for?" they say, "when it's free for download from internet??" =__= I wish that one day, they will get to experience their hardwork being snatched away from them without recognition too. Be it their precious essays being plagarised by others or computing programs that they spent months on being stolen and put up on internet for FREE downloads. THEN they will know the pain. BLEAH~~~ *stabsss*

ANYONE GOT THEIR SINGLES YET??? I think i might get to touch mine only on Sunday or later, cos i'm going away for the weekend. Aiyaaaa~~ mou~~~

But the furitsuke is so cute!! Muahohohohooo!!! They taught the chorus part in 2ji Pita (some wideshow i haven't heard of before). Loracyn was saying they looked sleepy. A bit ya, but that just-outta-bed-and before-makeup look kinda suited the questions they were asked. About each other's "sugao", literally meaning "face without makeup" or real off-stage personality. Fufufu~~ Opps, im sorry. Hohohoho... lol~ And DESPITE the sleepy getup, they looked very excited to teach the furitsuke after that! Especially Tsuba in his unstyled hair, just grinning away and staring at Takki A LOT. Muahohohohooo~~ And the "patsun patsun" fishy move... LOLL~~~~i love the sounds Takki makes for each moves. Reminds me of Venus dance lessons at his solocon!!! XDDDD

I was thinking recently, if T&T were to hold a unit con this year (i'm 95% sure they will before the year ends cos they never go thru a year without since debut! Right??), it's 99% probability that it will be a winter con. I mean seriously, Tsubacon ends in beginning of Oct. Even if they can pull everything together real fast, still need at least ONE MONTH desho??? So the earliest date will prolly be Nov, which is already winter. SO... how weird is it to sing SUCH A SUMMERY SONG like Ho! Summer for a winter con?? LMAOOO~~~~

OK, just a very lame point being made. XD

090: Does this survey make you feel like an obsessed freak? Not yet.
091: Have you and a friend ever fought over whose favorite Johnny was better? They know better than to do that. Anyway, Takki is kinda erm.. hard to beat. He ain't the best singer, dancer, actor (actually i think he is), but put together everything and his winning personality and humbleness and diligence, he is the amazing TAKIZAWA HIDEAKI. Oh, i'm sorry, what was the question??
092: . . . did you resort to slaps and/or punches and/or hairpulling? Well, maybe if i can execute them with a click of a mouse...
093: Have you been to a JE concert? Fortunately, YES!!! And i enjoyed ALL OF THEM!!! SOOO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!! *Especially* T&T ones.
094: Wanna smuggle me in next time? I can't. They check the bags. XP

096: What are your feelings on JE wank? Wakaranai yooo...
097: Did you ever see a guy on the street and go "Hey, he would look good in ____'s costume from ____ performance..."? Hell no! My judging is quite critical.
98: . . . did you take his picture, and can I see? I bet I could sell it and pretend he was a Johnny. Hohohoho.... no.
99: Do you read JWebs? Can't!!! *criessss*
100: Whose is your favorite? DUHZ!!! Takki yonnnn!!!!! *heartssssss*
101: What would you do if you saw your favorite JE boy on the street? I will freeze. And then try to thaw fast enough to catch up on him. Get an autograph (addressed with my name!!!) and try to con a two-shot even though it's against the rules, but hey, this 'street' is not necessarily in Japan right?? Then HECK THE RULES!! Muahaha... So next erm... i think i will be in PANIC MODE to do anything smart actually.
102: Has a JE song ever made you cry? Not really i guess... can't rem actually.
103: Which? NA. (Reiko-chan, what's so sad about "kimi no na wo yobitai"??? I always think of Zubari's ending credits when i hear that song. Hohoho~~)
104: What would you like to say to Johnny? Can you employ me as Takki's minder? I'll work for free!!! (Only cos i know Takki is GENEROUS enough to pay for my food. Accommodation? Duhz.. i will be bunking at his place pretending to erm... mop. LOL)
105: And finally, the gayest? Hmmm.... not really. They may LOOK entirely like a girl, but not that 'niang niang qiang'. Not those that i see anyway.

THE END!!!
