タッキーの語る恋愛観&セルフポートレート
TAKKI TELLS HIS VIEW OF LOVE & HIS SELF PORTRAIT
From JOSEI SEVEN 07/17/03
(The story of how I obtained this particular number, is a very ridiculous one, coming up later after this!)
撮影/滝沢秀明 Photography by TAKIZAWA HIDEAKI
「セルフプロデュース」第1弾、今回撮った写真(左)のテーマは「恋は太陽」。The first "self-produced" shot, the photo taken here (on the left) has a theme of "LOVE IS THE SUN"
滝沢秀明: 「カメラマンさんと相談しながら撮影して、加工して、つくりあげた作品。 自分の目から見た、自分自身の表情や言葉、思いを次回からもみんなに伝えていきたい」
Takki: "The completed work was photo-ed, processed while discussing together with the cameraman. I wanted to tell everyone my own expression, words and thoughts as seen from my own eyes."
I must say............. that it is a VERY beautiful photo of Takki!!!
*Hello? Knock knock? Isn't every single photo of Takki = beautiful?* 
True true.....! Hmmm.... so the title is "LOVE IS THE SUN" ne~? Yes, I agree!!! This photo really expresses it well!!! TAKKI IS OUR SUN! Agree? Ah, of course you do! 
Alrighty... now the real BAKA story of how I obtained this magazine!
I think toro-chan almost had a heart attack when I told her, and nenek-chan almost died out of laughter!
YES, SHOPLIFTER NERE STILL GOT IT!
Let me tell you a story of how nere received INTENSIVE SHOPLIFTING TRAINING throughout highschool... well, you see... the mothers decided to enroll us in a very expensive highschool back in 199X
Where everything was imported, and just ridiculously EXPENSIVE... the stationeries in the bookstore were like.... double priced.... and yet we are already paying gazillions to be in that money-sucking school and they still wanna rob the students dry by marking up the price of stationeries, books, candies etc. 
And they won't allow those "jajanan sekolahan" like normal schools have... you know... those gulali, siomay, etc... which are just plain cheap! Come on, we're forced to munch on KitKats and Nerds and Twizzlers!! That's a very ABNORMAL "jajanan" yaaa for highschool kids in INDONESIA!!! There were sellers who sell the normal yummy cheap jajanans on our parking lot but we get detention if we venture out beyond school grounds! 
So... we formed this ROBIN HOOD team out of about 3-4 girls... and we'd rob the bookstore dry of their merchandise.... DAILY! And then, we distribute to the whole school for free! Sketchbooks, poster colors, exam papers, notebooks, pens, pencils, KitKats, Twizzlers, rapidographs, rulers, erasers, Tipp-Ex, glue... you name it! And somehow, we always walk out with gazillions of stuff in our little canvas Nike sportsbag... and never get caught! I was trained by our "LEADER" from a gutless wimp into a fearless shoplifter and today, those skills came to use once again!
I didn't technically "SHOPLIFT" because the item wasn't for sale
*Justifications schmustifications* I had lunch alone today because I no longer have my toro-chan to lunch with me 
Actually, I went to the mall to run some errands, and had my craving for our favorite restaurant! So sat down, grabbed like 5-6 magazines from the racks.... there were no good magazines... just crappy, crumpled, old Japanese magazines... started browsing the Josei Seven and suddenly...
TAKKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zuruiiiiii yoooooo~ Takki! You're in like every single magazine!!! Even crappy, useless ones!!!
If the photo wasn't *SO* droolsome, I wouldn't even had bothered!!! So I glanced around trying to find the manager to ask permission if I could borrow it... but the usual person who knows me isn't around... and I knew if I asked her subordinates, they're just gonna tell me "NO"! 
Hmmm...
Contemplating... what to do..... should I even bother? Maybe I shouldn't! I'm not that obsessed, right? Okay, let's finish lunch first and then decide!!! Hey, who am I kidding man? I AM THAT OBSESSED!!!!!! Hmmmm..... should I? 
Or shouldn't I? 
Should I? or shouldn't I?
Oh lookie! Magazine already fell onto my lap under the table...
Oh lookie! Everyone is hovering near the kitchen and nobody is looking!
*takes off denim jacket and wraps it around magazine innocently*
*calmly wave for the check*
*pays the bill and sipped the remains of my coffee*
*stood up, smiled to everyone, and exit calmly*
SOMEONE PLEASE CHECK ME IN TO A TAKKI-REHAB!
Hello, my name is nere and I'm a Takki-holic! I'm beginning to lose control over my own will and mind, and my body acts under my Takki-addict subconscious and made me do very very very bad things!!!!!!
Hahahahaa.... no worries, I have every single intention to return it to the racks... I have no need for such a crumpled ugly old magazine with a half naked Amuro Namie on the cover! Even my dad asked when he saw the magazine just now, "Are you reading porn?" Toeng toeng toeng! See! All the reason to just return it despite toro-chan and nenek-chan, two of my most trusted counselors said that there was no need to be so kind.... It's not about being kind in returning the magazine... hahhahaa... I just have no more space to keep a crumpled magazine! So whenever I have plans on lunching there again...... me gonna use the same strategy to RETURN it back safely to where it belongs....
Whacked, I tell ya. I'm truly, truly.... WHACKED!
*sigh* The things I do just for a *little bit* of Takki......... my Takki-itis is hopelessly incurable....
