Takki's Solocon DVD
Aiya! It's already Sept?? Man!! How time flies. I've been quiet throughout this Ho! Summer Rush.. haha, a bit too lethargic to blog. Cos i know i take a damn long time to write one post admist all those DISTRACTIONS. Have a problem staying focused. My posts always digress majorly. And yappari when i have to wake up at freaking 6am every morning just so that we can work at same time as Japan, it DRAINS me completely with no mood/energy to do anything constructive. So i just watched and watched and laughed and laughed at all the Ho! Summer clips i've got... hahahha~~~ Maybe i will do a consolidated entry on them later. But for now, i thought i will jot down my thoughts and comments about Takki's Solocon DVD!!
YES!! I GOT IT ON 31st AUG!!! Damn fast or what?? Muahhaha, i LOVE EMS. They never give me any problems!! Unlike DHL (recall incident of conspiracy with Media Authority of S'pore over the kidnapping and raping of my DB DVD...) =_=
So anywayzzz, some thoughts/comments about the Solocon DVD... I already finished watching it once. XD
- The front and back covers look like something from 2 separate entities!! So UNMATCHING!!! *kicks Avex* They should have just used the White "HT" logo!!! It's already made!! Dun even need to design a new one!!! But i heard that although Tsuba's dvd cover is that black gothic logo of his, the actual packaging quality was quite bad. Gosh, what's new? =_=
- Despite the unmatch, i was squealing "KAWAIIII" when i saw the back cover with good old Hidezo. Heh! So Takki-rashii...
- YES. Avex really mistyped "Dakedo" as "Dakara"!!!!! OH MY GAWD!!!! KORE WA YURUSENAI!!!!!!!!! How can they commit this kind of mistake???????????!!?!?!? Already the front cover is so bland... with a quarter of it taken up by a Tsuba-wannabe chibikko?? At first when i saw the cover online, i thought both were Takki... just some superimposed effects ya know?? But no.. it's a chibikko. Man! Avex sure put a lot of "thought" into the design of the cover ya?? =__=
- I got the keyholder!!!! Hahhahahahah~~~ Then again, I think eventually, everyone did. LOL~
- There's a photo insert with the DVD. Quite nice!!!! At least im not paying 4000yen+ for just ONE disc.
- Tsubasa nevered appeared in the DVD!!!! Now who said he did?? And did Takki appear in Tsuba concert? Actually i'm confused which shows were the ones being recorded. I THINK it's the 25 Dec's show? And they probably used footage from both shows again. Cos there was this VERY ATTENTION-GRABBING fan with bright orange hair and blue yukata and i saw her (him??) up on the stand (patting Takki's back!!!) when he went one round around the stands in the elevated cart during Dakedo. Then later on in the DVD, at the encore part, i thought i saw her again at the very corner of the arena just next to the stage, somewhere during the 1st encore. I THINK IT'S THE SAME PERSON!! Either that or her doppelganger. LOL~ But i think it's common for them to use footage from 2 different concerts. They did it before for Sugao. And i was sooo confused when Subaru's hair and shirt just suddenly changed. I thought it was another person!! Hahahha~~~
- The assassin thingy is soooo funny!!! LMAOOOO~~~ What the hell does it mean??? and the very last scene of Assassin Takki smiling at Hidezo... OMG~~~ MUAHHAHAHAH!!!!!! SO SILLY!!!!
- During closeups of Takki during.. i think it was Madonna, oooohh myyyyy, i realise Takki has such goooooddd complexion, at least then. =)))
- I loved the way he paused and suddenly waved like a little kid to the screaming fans around him when he was up at the stands!!!
- The part where he took off his blazer, and then put it on again before Get Down was sooo funny!!! AHO! XDDD
- Yappari, it was soooo kirei during "12 gatsu no hana"... when they lit up the entire Yokohama Arena with those blue lights.... so pretty and romantic~~~~~~~~~~ *swoons*
- So funny when Takki went to the oyako seats and was looking for a kid to bring up on stage. ALL THE MOTHERS AND GRANDMOTHERS WERE LITERALLY SHOVING THEIR KIDS AT HIM!!! LOL~~~ All the clueless kids. Poor things. LOLL~~~
- The MC parts were almost all edited out! As expected really. The only part left was when Takki brought a kid up to stage. Even then, it wasnt complete. =___= So yea, those of you who were worrying about the lack of subs, it's really not necessary...
- And because all the MC talks and Venus dance lessons were axed, it seemed like Takki sang from start til end. Watching the DVD, i thought those people who hadn't seen the concert live would probably feel it's boring, cos i did felt a little bored too at some parts. SERIOUSLY, the actual thing is WAAAAAAYYYY MORE HIGH!!! And the fact that the audience sounded quite soft in the DVD, that is soooooo not accurate of the actual situation. WE WERE ALL SCREAMING OUR LUNGS OUT!!! It was REALLY HIGH. I conclude, NO DVD CAN EVER CAPTURE THE ACTUAL MOOD OF A CONCERT. A tad disappointed with the DVD. I think I enjoyed Harucon DVD better. Felt like Avex didn't put much thought into making this, though they took EIGHT months to release it.
Will talk more about the DVD when i watch it again.
Just read from Avex's site that the special good for those who bought both Tsuba and Takki solocon DVDs is a neck piece... that can be joined together with the W (meaning 'double' i think) name strap from the DVDs. Oooh~ omoshiroi na~ i wonder how it looked like.
Takki's recital starts TOMORROW!!!!
Takki, GANBARE!!! q(^-^)p
Looking forward to WS clips of it. Woohoo~~~ AND I WANT THE PAMPLET!!!! ANYONE KNOWS ANYONE WHO'S GOING?!???? T-T

SNUFFLES-chan, i think Im on my lethargic days too. You see, fandom can enliven you at times but suck the energy out from you on other times too. Need to keep it balanced no? Though HO! SAMA rush hasn't completely sucked out my fangal energy yet but my batts are ticking low XD
Ok, my thoughts/comments on your thoughts/comments about Tackey's solocon DVD (which I've seen for the 5th time since it arrived AUG 31. On the dot. Allelujah EMS ^_~):
PACKAGING + COVER: Personally, when I looked at both DVDs, Id go for Tsuba's. Maybe for the aesthetics: the artistic TSUBASA LOGO on front + BLACK-RED color scheme creates drama ^_~ Tackey's cover is a lil crowded on front and looked like it, they rushed the production of this coz they weren't so meticulous on that DA.KE.DO - DAKARA mistake which is a major booboo. If I were the artists involved on this, Id ask for a recall of the DVDs and reprint of the whole thing coz it really matters for any musician to have the people know their ACTUAL/REAL song titles deshou? I wont be very happy if I write a song titled, 'I LOVE TACKEY' only to be printed out as 'I LOVE TACKY'...nuff said.
FREEBIE KEYRING: Sore wa chou kawaii. I cant imagine the keyring + Tsuba's keyring holder attached to a neck piece (special prize?). That'll make a looong pendant deshou? Neck piece = necklace ka?
LIL FOTO INSERT WITH THE DVD: They should have made it with more pages...better, a fotobooklet! Since they didn't document offshots from the cons (unlike Tsuba's which has a LIVE + DOCUMENTARY part on the menu), they should have atleast placed them on the foto insert. But at the end of it all, at least, im not paying 4000+yen for just ONE disc.
ABOUT TSUBA on TACKEY's DVD and vice versa + GET DOWN: NO AIKATA ON BOTH DVDs :( DAMN, was looking forward to those parts actually. I was expecting the 'GET DOWN' that they'd include was the part when Tackey tried to do that Tsuba point2 furitsuke but nada. Although, I was laughin' on Tackey's 'GET DOWN'. Why did he not sing the whole thing? That could have been really fun to watch. And on Tsuba's con DVD, Tsuba had 2 hairdos...the longer one and the vegetta cut XD but no Tackey *pouts*
ASSASSIN TACKEY: All I can say is ASSASSIN TACKEY *hearts* smiling Hidezo soooo much XD The only thing it meant was that they are all on CRACK to do that part *ROFLMAOOOO*
MADONNA + 894: I say not only on 'MADONNA'. I love him on 'FUTARI' coz he wasnt sweating so heavily on that part. It's the first song of course! I also liked it when his chest, neck starts to redden ..... sekushii na XD Was it 894 when he started waving like a kid to the fans? I love it that Tackey tried to get close to the fans from different areas of the venue. They get their chance to see him upclose. Those fans up the stands (with the cheapest tics) were the luckiest coz they got nearest to Tackey ne?
12gatsu no hana: As Ive told BON-chan, best seen and heard ^_~
Hey, I actually enjoyed the DVD. Maybe you meant the people who HAD gone to the con would find it boring coz they've experienced the whole thing but for people who weren't there, I dont think we'll complain coz we dont have much to compare it with. Although, I wished they could have showed Tsuba on it when they taught the VENUS furitsuke. And also, the chibi boy they got, cute but from your reports, there was a chibi girl who looked so fond of Tackey. I would have wanted to see her on that too.... oh well.

Dithers~~ =333 Sasuga Dithers ne. Your writings are always so entertaining to read. XD I'm also a bit low on fangirl fuel recently. DAMN THE RISING OIL PRICES!! Lol~~~ But don't worry, i'm STILL here. I will *NOT* give Takki up. q(^-^)p
You've seen the DVD 5 times already????? Huh!??!?!? HOW?!?!?!? You don't sleep????? My goodness...
*gasps* If they EVER mispell Takki as "Tacky"... i will... i will... I WILL BURN THE JIMUSHO DOWN!!!!!!! WHAT THE!!! They got LEGIONS of English speaking fans out HERE!! MAKE USE OF US!!!! (read: EMPLOY US) =_=
Anyway, because Takki always makes it a point to do fan service up at the stand seats, those seats, esp those by the aisle have become expensive too (thru resale that is)!! Thou u see pin-head Takki the rest of the time. but think.. a chance to GROPE the holy butt. LMAOO~~~ but try not to topple the cart with over-enthusiasm ne. Abunai dakara. (dakara!!!)
(ok, i get a bit worked up everytime i gotta use "dakara" now. STUPID AVEX.)
12gatsu no hana ne. Let's not forget he wrote the song himself. For a friend who was getting married he said. I dunno if he actually sang it at the wedding. i dun tink so? Anyway, i think it wasnt THAT apparent from the dvd but the entire Yoko arena was draped in little blue lights (secured to very very fine and near invisible nets suspended from the ceiling) that hung like stars in the sky. SOOO VERY PRETTY!!!!!!!!! The whole atmosphere was soooooooooooo NICE!!! *meltssssss* Like, WHAT ELSE CAN WE ASK FOR ON A CHRISTMAS NIGHT!!!!!!!?!?????
Spending X'mas (and New Year) with Takki.. gotta be the BESTEST CHRISTMAS. XDDD
There were 4 kids altogether. 1 for each show. I rem that was a girl who was wearing a mask covering her mouth and it was in the shape of Hello Kitty's head!!! SO CUTE!!! Hahha... mebe the mum put it on on purpose, so that Takki would notice her. In any case, SMART MOVE.
And yea, cutting out the MC talks. What's new? Just that i didn't expect them to cut almost everything cept for the little part with the kids. Aiyoyooo....

Not that I don't sleep at all...I do but very little XD. I managed to let it play on my computer at work too so while Im doing stuff, its on in a smaller window ^_~
Really '12gatsu no hana' was made for Tackey's friend who's getting married? I didn't know that. That's so sweet of him. SO when he gets married, he'd probably make an entire album....NOOOOOO!!!! (not to the album but the fact that he's getting married TTT_TTT)
Yeah, those lights hovering over Yokohama arena's really romantic. It was seen on the DVD but of course, the feeling could have been ten times fold if you are there.
and *lol* Tackey likes HELLO KITTY deshou? Very tricky for that kid's mom...what if we go draped in ramen? we'd probably be feeling sticky but still, Tackey likes to eat and we'd go "TASTE ME HONEY~ EAT ME HONEEEY~" XDDDDD whatever...Aw, cutting off MC talks sucks. They should include that coz it's very interesting to watch all the talk part *sulks*
Yeah, low on Tackey fuel but high on Tackey LOVE. DAKARA! (see, im on this with you hehehe)gambarimashou kana?! (^_^)/
