I dunno under what kind of timespan rule does T&T AvexNet Site updates their sites....  Because it's like... sudden updates or something... I think sometimes they need to do a better job on their updates!!!
Look on the one I highlighted, it says that on Sunday night's Ya-Ya-Yah, there's gonna be an introduction for DREAM BOY and also for the PV!!! *me = more interested in the DREAM BOY part!*  Mwahahaha... what are the chances I'll be able to see that?
Ya-Ya-Yah is pretty much a Junior show right? But I think through polling in MYOJO it actually got to become the most popularly voted TV show by their readers!!!  Wow... I've never seen the program before... but T&T had appeared there quite a number of times... I've downloaded one segment too where T&T & Ya-ya-yah are actually sitting and conversing together... it was tottemo cute
Btw, the list up there also says that T&T will appear in:
HEY HEY HEY 02/09
INUYASHA 02/09 (Ho... ho... ho....) 
UTABAN 02/12
AX 02/12
and a bunch of CHANNEL @ appearances (this is avex's TV program) throughout 02/12-02/18!
OKAY.... HOLD IT!!!!
If you see the one I highlighted, it actually says: "NEW SONG" It says they are preparing for:
- SHOCK
- NEW SONG
- DREAM BOY OSAKA
- CONCERT
WHOA WHOA WHOA!
Waitaminit!? NEW SONG??? Ehhh....? hontou??? Are they talking about a NEW NEW SONG... or are they referring to ONE DAY ONE DREAM???  ODOD shouldn't require anymore preparation now that it's only about less than a week to release ne? So we are talking about a new NEW SONG??? Does this mean we're gonna get yet ANOTHER SINGLE and not an album?!?!?!?!?!?! Errrr.........
Oooooh turns out that SHOCK starts TODAY!!! Just read in tsubaholic's diary! In fact, it might just be going on RIGHT NOW!! Wawawawawaaaaaa..... just wanted to wish Imai Tsubasa all the best of luck and all the best of everything!!! Wawawawaaaaaa... and Takki... march your cute little tushie to your SHOCK-PINK-TAKKISEAT up in the Imperial theatre!!! (Yes, yes, I want his seat to be pink too!)

Phew!!! When I said last night I was gonna be out of the office all day... I thought I'd actually be able to return to the office sometime around 3 PM... but again, meetings with my client have been extremely DRAGGY and LOOOOOOOOONG...... (remember that 10-hour communication brief day?  And surprise, surprise... up to this day, we still yet haven't received the official, signed brief from them!)  The client wants us to be involved in their latest, supposedly "GROUNDBREAKING" project... something about doing a research... more along the lines of a focus group to study TEENS! And the client is involving their marketing department, their finance department, and also the creative agency, and the media agency (that would be me) to hop on the wagon to do this project! And the meeting was more like a crazy hujat session with one another because literally, nobody could be serious when it comes to brainstorming about teens! There's always some wise guy comments being thrown out or something... like when we first started the discussion about how we are about to enter THE WORLD OF TEENS... suddenly someone yelled, "OH YAY... WE'RE ALL GONNA BE SOOOOO CONFUSED!" Mwahahahhaa! It was a unanimous opinion that teens today just simply grow up too fast. Where have the good old childhood-life gone? Twelve-year-olds today read COSMOPOLITAN and have C-cup boobies, as opposed to the twelve-year-old me who was reading the old-school kiddy KAWANKU and was contemplating whether it is time for me yet to get into a mini-set! Er... or maybe I was just a little late in my growth? *sheepishly glances down to boobies* Bwahahhahaa... so anyway, the project is about getting inside the teenagers' mind. What ticks them, what tickles them, what pisses them off, what makes them go ga-ga... what kind of problems do they have... (don't all teens have the biggest problems in the world?--such as not being able to get 5566 to come?  Mwahahaha... kidding kidding... ) So! In order to do that... everyone on the team is gonna have to dive into the teenage world, which includes visiting schools, hanging out at the in-places, interacting with teens, hanging out with the teens, and just talk to them and find out what is up with the trends amongst teens today... how do they segment themselves (e.g. the populars, the geeks, the jocks, the gamers or the airheads?) And we're getting funded too for this... imagine! We're getting paid to HANG OUT at the cool places!!! What could be better than this? But I picked the lousiest team that nobody wants to be in, which gets more involved with the teens' expert, more like researching and conversing through editors of teen magazines and teen figures... perhaps MTV VJs or something... just because this team doesn't involve WORKING WEEKENDS!!! As much fun as the "HANGOUT TEAM" sounds... and being able to claim all their expenses to the project.... if I have to work weekends... man... sorry, dude. Not willing! All the guys were like fighting over who gets to be the "VISIT HIGHSCHOOL TEAM" Ewwwww..... sukebeeeeeee!!!! Anyway, it's just so funny that abouyt 90% of the team members are so OUT OF IT when it comes to teen trends! Some of them even went  and asked, "WHO'S AVRIL LAVIGNE?" Mwahhahahhaa And he's not even that old!!! And the subject of AVRIL'S black rubber bangles came up too as being the trendsetter and all.... and coincidentally, after a month's absence, I had put on my signature black rubber bangles on today... and they were all accusing me of being an AVRIL WANNABE! Ehekssssssssssss Yo lemme tell you SOMETHING! These babies have been clinging onto my wrist even BEFORE Avril was born!!!
TRY SOMETHING MORE ORIGINAL, EH AVRIL?
******RANT INTERMISSION START********
Dang it!!! I have no idea what the hell is *WRONG* with the electricity company today but my computer just went through TWO BLACKOUTS in less than 2 hours!!! This is not good for my PC's health!!!! This is exactly WHY I think sometimes laptop is a far more suitable animal for this doggone !@#$%^& third world country!!! The first blackout happened... and so my dad decides to turn on our super-generator which we got due to the BLACKOUT SEASON our estate used to have... we once suffered a THREE-DAY BLACKOUT in which our former teeny generator just didn't cut out for the situation and my dad just went "THATS IT!!!! !@#$%^& WE'RE GETTING A GENERATOR THAT COULD LIT UP AN ENTIRE SUPERMARKET!!!" And so we did! Hahaha! Anyway, so la-dee-da... after our super-generator put the electricity back on... we discovered that our neighbors seem to have the power back about an hour later.... so we switched back to the central power system and shut down our generator... only to find out fifteen minutes later........... *POP* It happened again!!!!! Goddammit!!!!! THIRD WORLD COUNTRY!!! Do you think the city is like some on-off switch you could just flip on and off back and forth!?!?!?! And one wonders why one's computer keeps breaking down?! I think this computer had experienced like 20+ power failures (read: switching off without shutting down) Now that can't be good, can it???  Ah... anyway.....
*******RANT INTERMISSION END**********
Entering Takki-mode......... 
ally my dear!!! How coincidental!!! Yes, I have seen the UNDOKKAI CLIPS! tako-chan sent it to me right before I got the One Day One Dream PV!!! So I really did have two multiple joygasms in within less than the span of 2-3 hours!!! And what is it exactly that got me so worked up???? Both tako-chan and I call it:
"THE FUZZ" 
This is like the only instance I've ever seen where ONE TAKIZAWA HIDEAKI LOOKS VERY, VERY, VERY, EXTREMELY HUMAN!!! Just absolutely marvelous!!! And even so, he is still gorgeous despite that it was pretty much his "I-SHOULD-STILL-BE-IN-BED" look under that big funky hat!!! And come on!!!!! The captions say that it was 09.28 AM!!! Is "09.28 AM" an UNCIVILIZED HOUR for Takizawa Hideaki?! Man!!! Even Tsubasa looked much more AWAKE than he did!!!
btw... biggest credits goes to cherub who supposedly uploaded the clips for download... and thanks to tako-chan my ever-so-generous clip benefactor! 
 
Nere: Ohayo gozaimaaaasuuuu Takkiiiiiiiiii!!!!
Takki: Oh my god... such an uncivilized hour!!!
Nere: But... but... it's 09.28 AM!!!!
Takki: ARE YOU USUALLY AWAKE AT 09.28 AM???
Nere: Er...... no.....
And now... let me present to you....
LIVING PROOF THAT TAKIZAWA HIDEAKI = HUMAN!
 
DO YOU SEE IT???? DO YOU SEE IT TOO?!?!?!
TAKIZAWA HIDEAKI IS FUZZY!!!!!!!!
Helpppp.... I'm gonna faint!!!! Yes, ladies and girls.... (looks like no gentlemen present here..... or... is there???!) Like I said... this is a sure sign that he's not always ALIEN-LOOKING (translation: impossibly flawless and beautiful!) And a sure sign that he is A REAL BOY, in flesh and blood!!! And not Pinocchio!!!! Aaaaaahhh.... look at that fuzzy stubbly face!!! Rrrrrrrrr......... I want to pounce on him and kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss like there's no tomorrow!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... he's sooooooooo cuuuuteeee....!!! YOU REALLY CANNOT GET ANY MORE *NORMAL* THAN THIS!!!!! So this is what a Takizawa Hideaki looks like in the morning, huh? And why is he wearing that big hat?! Is he still on BAD-HAIR DAY MODE? (Read: stylist haven't arrived near his hair yet!) Aaaaa... mitaiiiiiiiiiiiii.... I wanna see what his hair looks like under that big hat!!! Mitai mitai mitaiiii!!!! You know what, tako-chan? I think you're right... this FUZZ thingy was working me up more than the PV thing... but upon discovering the PV... come on... you must admit the ANTICIPATION of the download was extremeeeeelyyyyy joygasmic somewhat!!! But yeah... this was way way way way wayyyy better than the PV!!! Oh did you say this was available on VCD?! Does YesAsia have it? CDJapan!? I sooooo wanted to get it but the Japan version was..... takaiiii sugiiiiii! 
 
Takki: I can't stand it already... I need... to... schlee...eep... zzz.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........................
Tsubasa: Gawd you're an even bigger pig than me!!! WAKE UP YO!
OH LOOKIE TSUBASA IS FUZZY TOO!!!
That does it!!! UNDOKKAI MORNING = BEST PLACE TO FIND OUR BOYS AT THEIR MOST FUZZIEST STATE!!! And can I just say one thing?!?!?! I * LOVE* Tsubasa's glasses!!! It's sosososososoooo..... COOL!!!! I'm actually hunting for a new pair of glasses (on office insurance of course) And I'm eyeing a Dior one that looks almost like Tsubasa's..... except that Tsubasa's is like 100000x cooler!!! I WANT IT!!! Mwahahahaha!!! Anyway... it's so nice to see the boys at such a NORMAL and REGULAR STATE! Don't you just love it?! I wish there were more instances in which we could see them as who they are... but we can only wish... and wish.... and wish.... and wish.............................
There's a huge urge to just laugh  like crazy mixed with a sense of *ALARM* when I read leelin's e-mail yesterday!!! She had written to me saying that she had gone to mise s*clusive to find me the Takki Official Photos... by the way, thank you so much dear... But quite fortunately, they haven't arrived yet... I was about to cancel it because apparently march had gone ballistic in Japan not just for herself but also for me!!! In which I am totally grateful!!! When I mentioned a *COUPLE* of photos... I did not expect you to get me... uh... FORTY!!!! Mwahahahhaa You're all angels... I love you all! I'm touched!!! But anyways, back to the funny story... leelin had told me that the moment she asked the storekeeper if there are any Takki official photos around... the person immediately asked if it was for ME!
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SHOPS FOR TAKKI IN MISE?!?
Seriously yo... it's funny... yet ALARMING!!!! First it was that voice-recognition phonecall.... all I did then was ask if they have their DREAM BOY stuff in, and they immediately mention my name!!! And now this!!! Perhaps it was the e-mail I already sent them inquiring about it but really....... that was like almost three weeks ago...?! Which also kinda proves that... I really *AM* the only person who goes ballistic crazy Takki shopping in mise!!! Huahuhauhauhaaa!!! Like toro-chan said to me earlier today, perhaps mise had finally figured out the ABSOLUTE FORMULA that reads: TAKIZAWA HIDEAKI = NERE. Hauhauhauhauhuahuaaa Gawwdddd it was hilariousssss!!!
 BEHOLD, MY NEW FRIENDSTER PHOTO!!!
Mwahahahahhahahahahahhahaaaa!!!!! Yes, yes, to all of you who have me on your friendster list should be able to see it now replacing my TAKKI-PINUP-FACE photo of mine...!!! It was last night when suddenly *BING!* an idea popped up into my head that it is about TIME to change my friendster photo!!! So I thought... hmmm... maybe I should do yet ANOTHER Takki-face!!! So I proceeded down to my Takki Menagerie... and suddenly found...... THAT HUGE DREAM BOY OFFICIAL POSTER that I couldn't hung up anywhere just so I don't freak my mother out!!! Did I tell you that I almost fainted when I first opened this poster? Just because it was so huge and so close up on the face.......... I really did almost fainted when I unrolled it the very first time!!! Sasugaaaa ne? Johnny's Official Poster!!! Summer would know exactly what I mean because she has one of AIBA MASAKI too!!! And she was going on and on and on and on about exactly HOW HUGE the poster was!!!! It was chotto expensive too... and when I first came to mise, I think toro-chan was going  NERE DON'T YOU DARE BUY THAT HUGE BUT EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE POSTER!!! Hahahahaha!!! But look at me now toro-chan!!! I have one of those HUGE BUT EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE POSTER! HuahUHauhUhauHUhauhaa but this one is all worth every penny! That last one from the To Be To Be concert wasn't... really..... and yes, that's me behind that huge Takki face!!! The poster is more than half my size!!!!
OK... enough blogopotamus for like........ EVERY SINGLE DAY NOW!!! My goodness I can't even remember anymore the last time I had one single BLOGSTIPATION!!! Is this normal?????? Although I have a feeling I'm gonna be getting one tomorrow!!! Which reminds me...... ONE OF MY NUCLEAR FRIENDS IS GETTING MARRIED TOMORROW!!! Another one down the matrimonial aisle!! But this is different because it is INDRI!!! And she will be the PIONEER ngupil-er to walk down the aisle!!! <-- oh tears of joy! And surprisingly, I'm not experiencing shortage in the dress department... YET! Hahahaha thanks to my fabulous dressmaker the wonderful wonderful Hayden up in Singapore.... everytime I walk in he'd go ballistic to dress me up! "OMIGOD! You're in TOWN!!! And you can walk!!!" (Apparently he remembers my previous trip to see him, I was barely walking thanks to that surgery... yet I'm still going shopping!!!)  And then he goes, " I have something that is *SO* YOU!!!!" And turns out he had like... THREE items that was *SO* me!!! So I'm not in shortage of dresses yet.......... until perhaps.... five weddings later? Then I would need to recycle all over again................ taihen taihen... the wedding culture in Indonesia........ extremeeeely taiheeeennnn!!! Wow! It's not even midnight yet!!! And I'm done!!! Yay! I can go get me schleep!!!

It suddenly got entirely busy at the last 2 hours of office time... Again and again the same client problem... the part where they do not COMPREHEND the need to have enough lead time to book your slots on TV! Errr yeah... so you're starting your campaign this Sunday... but you can't give us your approval until TOMORROW? And all day tomorrow the whole team is gonna be in some baka meeting at the client's office... so who's gonna hang around the office to do the rest of the job in case (err... actually, not just IN CASE) coz it's pretty definite that we're gonna get bumped out slots that needed to be repositioned into other programs... just because INDONESIA IS THE #2 COUNTRY IN THE WORLD THAT BEARS THE TITLE OF "MOST CLUTTERED TV ADVERTISING" Yeeeppp... that's right folks... and can you guess who's the #1 winner for "WORLD'S MOST CLUTTERED TV ADVERTISING?"
JAPAN!!!
Yes, seriously. I can back up my statement by research done by our company (we're a worldwide company, therefore we have these kinds of data) Although I am kinda wondering... if INDONESIA is already this bad... what's Japan TV advertising like??? Seriously yo... I cannot STAND watching local Indonesian TV because first of all... their local dramas S-U-C-K all the way up to kingdom come... they can't direct, they can't act, they can't even write proper scenario!!! And most of the scenes involve SLAPPING, SCREAMING, CRYING, YELLING... just throw those elements in and no plot, and yep yep, you got yourself an Indonesian local drama Oh and lets not forget really cheesy dialogues, fake settings, and a glob of makeup on all the women!
HOWEVER~
They are still the programs that generate THE HIGHEST RATINGS Every time!!! The suckier the plot is... the higher rating it generates! Hahahahhaa And once the ratings go sky high, so does the TV ad quantity... would you believe that I once TIMED a commercial break duration versus the actual program time... and discovered this pattern:
5 minute program - 5 minute commercial break - 5 minute program - 5 minute commercial break - 5 minute program - 5 minute commercial break
Hmmmm... So a 60-minute program on Indonesian television is REALLY only about 30 minutes long!!! And you think you only advertise on commercial breaks??? NooOooOo... we get those funky super-imposed logos, annoying running texts that sometimes covers up the subtitles (during some chinese-languaged programs) And just gazillion of other means of in-program advertising called BUILT-IN... in which we, media planners, just absolutely love! Just like what me and toro-chan was talking about today... T&T should've done a PROMO BUILT-IN in Inuyasha!!! I still don't know what exactly they're going to do in the February 9 Inuyasha... but if it's just a clip of them promoting an album... Hell... we'll tell them how they can do it better!!! They should get themselves ANIMATED into the episode... which happens to be a special leisure episode where KAGOME comes back home from Inuyasha's sengoku jidai just to attend a SPECIAL ONE DAY ONE DREAM PROMO EVENT! And Kagome is like crazzyyyyy for Tackey & Tsubasa! Won't that be hilarious? And an annoyed + impatient Inuyasha goes crashing the party to drag Kagome back because they have work to do... and he KAZE NO KIZUed the event!
Did I also tell you about this really ANNOYING girl who works in a certain magazine who keeps bugging me on the phone at work for ads? Firstly, SALESPEOPLE are ALWAYS annoying. Period. But paired with that buddy-buddy attitude it's even more friggin' annoying! And worse, even... this girl is like... EVERYTHING I HATE ALL BUNDLED INTO ONE! First, she has no concept of a personal bubble! Everytime she calls me, she'd ask me about my relationship status!!! Hellooooo... you're NOT my friend! I don't even like you! Let's not cross into PERSONAL QUESTIONS okay?! And everytime I say I'm single she'd like jokingly mock me by saying, "Oh... poor poor you..."
EXCUSE ME, YOU NOSY BIYATCH....
Unlike you, I am not exactly a very NEEDY, RELATIONSHIP-ADDICT SHALLOW GIRL (Yeh, I'm just a Takki-addict!) And then she went and asked me if I had joined that new luxurious gym up at the new EX-Mall! First off, NERE = NOT A GYM PERSON! I don't work out. Period. I just... EAT. (I've gone through THREE WASTED GYM MEMBERSHIPS in Boston to learn that I'm NOT a gym person). Secondly, why should I join that stupid new gym when I have all the five-star facilities right at my apartment? And here comes the most APPALLING answer... She openly admitted to me that SHE IS JOINING THE GYM JUST TO MEET RICH, YOUNG GUYS!
Erk... do you know how DISGUSTING that sounds??? Trust me, you might think it's already disgusting, but hearing that come out of her mouth directly... is 1000000000x more disgusting!!! And she goes on and on about how the gym is located at a prime area... and that the membership is quite expensive, hence people who join the gym would be rich, young executives... bla bla bla bla bla oh please someone kill me already!  And once this girl starts talking on the phone she yaps yaps yaps yaps like a train and won't let me off!!! Talk about STEEL-WALLED-FACE Some people just can't get a clue when they're not liked! Either they're very thick-skulled, simply clueless, or... they're just extremely THICK-SKINNED to a point where I wonder if I NEED TO GET EXTREMELY RUDE & NASTY JUST TO GET THEM OFF MY BACK! So people, if you sense a little HOSTILITY from me.... no, you're not imagining it! That's like my cue for you to just BACK OFF!
Haha... why the sudden rant on the annoying shallow girl, you ask me, toro-chan??? Yeh.. SHE CALLED AGAIN TODAY! I wish that office phones have CALLER ID the way they do in the U.S.... Funny thing about caller ID... you end up NOT PICKING UP MORE PHONES once you have it, huh? Ah the wonderful thing called CALLER ID...
One more thing about Indonesians and their absolutely non-existent comprehension for the thing called:
"THE PERSONAL BUBBLE"
I don't get why everyone asks for cellphone numbers like it's a piece of tissue or something!!! And I'm talking about colleagues at work...!!! The minute I met someone new, usually salespeople from the media... they ask for my cellphone number rightaway! Am I (and of course toro-chan) the only ones who think that A CELLPHONE NUMBER IS AN EXTREMELY PERSONAL THING?! It's crazy!!! When I refuse, they insist! And then I end up giving them my phone number, and I always ask for theirs as well for only one purpose... SO I'LL KNOW IT'S THEM CALLING AND I CAN JUST IGNORE THE RINGING PHONE!!! I have names in my cellphone who I can't even RECALL who the f*ck this person is!!! And I'd get sms-es from funky numbers with just one simple question: "Remember me?" EHEKS... if you just changed your phone number it would only be normal to just announce it through a simple sms which said, "I JUST CHANGED MY NUMBER, PLEASE UPDATE ME. -[INSERT NAME HERE]" instead of playing some PULSA-eating game that's just gonna cause your phone bill to skyrocket!!! The things Indonesians do that I still can't comprehend why... why... WHY... WHY... WHY!!!
OK... enough ranting... Entering Takki-mode....
 * D O K I ! *
That's exactly what I got today... a minor heart attack when I opened a very nice surprise inside the booklet of MYOJR. in the middle of the magazine... which I usually hardly open because it's just filled with Juniors Juniors Juniors Juniors Juniors.... and more chibi Juniors...... the least interesting factors for me But I was bored in traffic jam today... and I wasn't even going to read my Myojo... but decided to flip it open anyway... and the flipping... flipping... flipping through the MYOJR booklet and then suddenly.... TWO PAGES OF DREAM BOY REHEARSAL PICS!!! OMGGGGGGGGG... shock shock shock shock!!! tako-chan! I'll bet that you'll love this baby more than I do!!! No, it can't be!!! We'll love it just as much!!! Both of us!!! That expression on his face... it's that CALM, COMPOSED, SERIOUS TAKIZAWA look that just drives us both INSAAAAAAANE~~~ Despite that he's in a normal setting here... he still looks ALIEN somehow!!! ( Translation: Beautiful Takizawa = alien Takizawa--because it's impossible to be HUMAN and being that beautiful!!!) Can someone read the words on his shirt??? "If you want any more experience... *** *uck... ***** ***ow..." And why the hell am I reading what's written on Takki's shirt?!
I said I was gonna put some living proof that Takizawa his human... but I got too carried away ranting about annoying girl's phonecall that it's now almost 1 AM again!!! Oh goodie... this way I'll never run out of stuff to blog about! eheks... a true blue blog addict... I am... Anyway, I'll be out of the office the whole day tomorrow..... so don't wait up for me... tako-chan... this is your chance to catch up on more sleep!!! and I HOPE... you really get your sleep!!!

Suddenly I have soooo much to blog about lining upppp!!!! AAARGH.... this is crazy crazy crazyyyy...!!!! So many Takki joygasm rants to blog abouttttt......... I can't keep it in!!! It needs to be channeled out!!! Hahahahhaa!!!
I haven't seen MUSIC STATION 30 JANUARY but tako-chan sent me screencaps from her download... and it got me wondering......
IS MUSIC STATION RENAMING ITSELF INTO
NUGE STATION?
Or should I say... TAMAGO STATION? Did that 28 November episode really turned Takki's TAMAGO into hot commodity that they need to check it out and showcase it every now and then??? tako-chan said it was TSUBASA who lifted up Takki's shirt... and of course.... hora!!! BEHOLD, SOME FINE LOOKING TAMAGO!!!
 
Oh man!!! Even as tako-chan was sending it to me through MSN in that teeny weeny little thumbnail... I could already see those RIPPING TAMAGO!!! Sasssuugaaaaaa... Takizawa-kunnnn!!! Mwahahahahaaaa.... and tako-chan also said that Takki looked very embarrassed when Tsubasa had lifted up his shirt but we both agreed that HELLO? We all know he loooooved all that attention to his tamago!!! He's sooo proud of it too!!! And we're proud of your tamago too, OH LORD TAMAGO!!! I think the whole entertainment business is already identifying Takizawa Hideaki with his tamago, ne?! Ever since that UTABAN 20 NOV where Nakai asked him to show off his body... then it was MS 28 NOV a.k.a. "NUGE STATION #1"... and then that whole ARM-GROPING thing that Tsunku-san did on PJ 24 JAN!!! Must be due to DREAM BOY too hauhUHAuhUHuHAuhhaha...
By the way... again, I haven't seen the actual performance on MS yet... but from screencaps tako-chan had sent me (God bless you my dear ), I really like the way the stage looks....!!! It's... it's...... SUGOI COLORFUL!!! It's justttt... wonderful seeing them surrounded by soooo sooo sooo many colorssss!!!
 
And just look at that whole BOYS FORMATION that happened also in POP JAM Wow... wow... WOW... WOW!!! I'm truly amazeeeeddd by all these caps... and tako-chan.... you are a superb screencapper!!!  And you titled it right too... it is indeed a KIREI HANA!!! Wow... I loveeeee it!!! I can't wait to see it!!! Frankly, despite that the PV wasn't that great... I think that every single One Day,One Dream performance had managed to really got me CRYING because it was soooo kireeeeiiiiii! Maji desu yo!!! I'm serious!!! It always had that magic in the performances... whereas... at the second Yume performance back then... it was fun... but really, all of 'em looked almost EXACTLY the same with the dance... the coats... which I, frankly, preferred the BLUE & PINK more than those things that tsubaholic dubbed as "PETA-UNFRIENDLY COATS" Hahahhaa OK... enough of that.....
Next.... comes those silly silly silly Music Station shots they've been doing quite numerous times now...! They did a very funky goggle once on the first Yume appearance on MS with the PETA-unfriendly coats, and then after that, there was the TAPE ON NOSE thingy.......... which was actually kinda CUTE and now..................
TOOTHPICKS??????
YEOWTCH........
It looks... PAINFUL!!! Deshou???!!! Are those really TOOTHPICKS??? OK, someone need to fill me in... are these kinds of shots done by improvisation or was it instructed by the MS crew??? Or is it PURE TAKIZAWA BAKA ACTS? Ah... but this proves one thing... that HE IS JUST A BOY AFTER ALL!!! which will bring us to the next subject........ when I have time to blog NOT DURING WORK!!!
Coming up next...
Living proof that TAKIZAWA IS HUMAN, NOT ALIEN!
We'll be back right after these messages.......
PS. I just realized.... its SEVEN DAYS to ONE DAY ONE DREAM people!!!

OK, I finally got myself together to actually think straight because apparently... joygasm happened more towards the anticipation of the item... and the result upon viewing it... wasn't the HIGH-IMPACT JOYGASM that it coulda, shoulda, woulda been... So what is it that got nere soooo damn excited just earlier today?
ONE DAY ONE DREAM PV...
MIMASHITA!!!
Thanks to tako-chan who pointed to a certain direction when I wasn't about to head that-a-way today... But all biggest credits goes to the person who got the PV and encoded it and uploaded it... God bless you...!!! Thanks so much!!! You are TRULY THE BEST!!! You guys are truly my favorite site!!!  Hontou ni... doumo arigatou gozaimashita!!!
Anyway, me not allowed to give out the link, so please don't ask me for it... but anyway, I just had to give my review over this PV... yikes... this might get a little painful....
OVERALL SCORE: 4.9999 OUT OF 10
tako-chan, you gave it a 6 out of 10... but I can only give it this much... hell, I can't even give it a 5! Hahahhaa tsubaholic was right about the PV being similar to Sotsugyou's PV... but there's something about this PV that was a little.... hmmm... I don't know how to say it.... but was the production RUSHED? And it kinda feels choppy too between the shots and or scenes... (although I wouldn't call it scenes) because perhaps the whole PV could be summed up into less than 4 screencaps for each Takki and Tsubasa...
  
AND... REPEAT... (with * slightly* different poses) Yes Takki, turn your head a little...
  
AND YOU REPEAT THOSE THREE SHOTS ABOUT... SAY... 10 TIMES...
AND... THE END.........
Kidding... kidding!!! There's more to it than just those three shots but I took so many screencaps... and after I was all done, I opened the folder... and at every other picture, I was like... "Didn't I just see this exact same shot?" and went: DELETE... DELETE... DELETE... hahahaha... oh please don't get me wrong... any PV of Tackey & Tsubasa is an item to love for me!!! I totally *LOVE* getting his PV... and there are lots of cute scenes too!!! But I really had expected something more for a PV of an Inuyasha song! And, no, toro-chan, our inuko is not in it hahahaha I sure wish the Inuyasha-gumi was around, but nope, no sign of 'em... and of course... very minimum SKIN exposed here I was laughing when tako-chan's first comments was, "THEY ARE BUNDLED UP!!!" Waahahahhahaaaa! Of course they are ne, tako-chan, unless you want our Lord Tamago frostbitten by rolling around in the Hokkaido winter snow on his tamago! Mwahahahaha!!! OK Let's see what else is in there?
 
They started with the shining sun over the Hokkaido snow... and then we also have Tackey & Tsubasa running around on white snow... Isn't it beautiful? It is pretty, isn't it?
 
I like that shot on the left... it was just Takki at first, then Tsubasa elevates in front of him... thanks to a..... hydraulic crane? (see right) hehehe.....
 
 
Then comes the night shots... man, it looked reeeeallllyyyyy cold too!!! See all that mist around Tsubasa? Poor babies... they had to shoot the dance segment of the PV at nighttime...!!!! In the middle of a forest too...!!! Well at least they get a bonfire...
 
 
Errrr... they *DID* put in those really really cool dance moves in the PV... BUT!!!! Yes, there's a big "but" here!!! I don't know what's up with the cameraman...
As tako-chan already mentioned too... dumb camerawork was shooting more to the [ ______ ] empty space BETWEEN Tackey & Tsubasa when they were doing those cool mime-like hand movements....! No idea why!!! Oh, and then they put in some effects of falling stars around the dancing boys too... which was hmmm... hmmmm... quite nice effects actually...!
THEN COMES THE CUTE STUFF!!!
TACKEY & TSUBASA PLAYING IN THE SNOW!!!
 
 
They were playing in the snow!!! But it was TOO SHORT!!! Too... too... TOO short!!! They were standing in the snow... then they just tossed a little bit of snow... and then move on to those usual repetitive three shots I put up on the very top... muhahahahaa... yo, I'm sure there are *MORE* snow action being shot there...!!! Like.... T&T wrestling in the snow??? Or more violent snowball fight? OH COME ON!!! Is that all you can give us!!!! WE WANT MORE ACTION!!!!
 
I still don't get why they actually showed their props to be visible in the PV! Yo, someone please AIRBRUSH that elevating crane!!! It's soooo OUT OF PLACE within the whole...... NATURE-THEMED surrounding!!!
And then... OK, they're off the crane, and onto the ground... running in the snow... ah... suddenly I miss snow because of this PV... I like snow only when they look extremely white and soft like the ones portrayed in this PV... otherwise..............
 
Another cute part!!! Towards the end... Tackey & Tsubasa just *PLOPPED* onto the snow!!! Hahahahahhaaa... So cuteeeee!!! I wished there was a scene of both of them lying on the snow making SNOW ANGELS... I would have *DIED* then and there because it would be too extremely cute!!!
Ok... and then we have... more sky... more snow... and very teeny weeny Tackey & Tsubasa near the horizon........
 
And then Tsubasa running... followed by a very blurrrrrrrr Takki that was so hard to capture...
And every other capture of that last shot I took of Takki was blur too... so oh well!!!
AND THAT'S ALL FOLKS...
YOU HAVE JUST SEEN... ONE DAY ONE DREAM!!! 
Soooo.... what do you think? It's cute though... BUT it derives the exact same reaction from me as when I saw Sotsugyou... it's indeed kirei kirei kirei kirei kirei scenes in kirei kirei kirei kirei kirei surroundings... and Tackey & Tsubasa are both kirei kirei kirei kirei kirei too.... ( note: kirei means 'beautiful') BUT.... what's the "story" behind the PV? Where's all that CREATIVITY they put into the Hatachi Trilogy PV? Where is it? Where is it? Sotsugyou was pointless... it was just leaves... a pair of doves (Tackey & Tsubasa, and also literally a pair of doves) and hmmmm ah... I remember those yummy BLACK LEATHER PANTS hohoho But it was pointless... and so was YUME MONOGATARI's PV... but at least that PV was ultimately COOL... and just FUN FUN FUN FUN YUME MONOGATARI!!! Takki just looked extremely good in the Yume PV... (and there was some tamago too ) And so was Tsubasa, he looked really good too...!!! The whole Yume PV just oozes....... "KAKKOII!" Well, they are too in this PV despite they're all bundled up in winter clothing... But after seeing the three PVs: Sotsugyou, Yume & One Day One Dream... I'm seeing an ABSENCE of a point! Or... that connection between audio and visual... the song and the video... you know...? I don't know, for me... I *NEED* to see a connection between audio and visual... like that GENIUS video that a fan had made out of QAF SCENES into Justin Timberlake's Cry Me a River that flo had forwarded to me this afternoon... now THAT is the kind of video that could give you goosebumps!!! T&T hasn't given me that since the Hatachi Trilogy... which brings me back to the question I raised before... WHERE IS THAT CREATIVITY THAT WAS IN THOSE THREE WONDERFUL PVs?
Perhaps my score of 4.9999999 is a little bit too cruel? After all, I *DO* like the way it looks! It's sososososo kireiii... maybe I'll jack up the score a little........... to.... uh.... 5.2? Joudan yo joudan... it's a nive PV... but still, pointless... But perhaps T&T's PV doesn't need a point?
Ah well... actually, I'm *ULTIMATELY* happy to be able to see this PV! But that's just my honest opinion and review over it... (hey, see, I can be an objective person! We're talking about criticizing the PV of my own ICHIBAN here!) Hahahahaa.... anyway, thanks again to egghead-san... and of course to tako-chan... my life is hereby COMPLETE... for now....

I JUST FOUND MY ULTIMATE WEAKNESS.... 
And that would be A CUTE BOY ON A PIANO Oh be still my exploding joygasmic heart!!!
celle, you remember my dad's friends right!? And you remember how often they hang out and just nge-band all day long? Well... they did again today... starting from 2 PM! And I came home at 8.30 PM and they're still going and going and going and going and no sign of ending so I just slipped upstairs and started on my blogging and browsing... until right after I hit the POST & PUBLISH on my last entry, my mother found me home and she said, "Oh hey, you're home! Btw, the guys brought along a boy with them and he's really good on the piano! Come and see!"
EH? A BOY?
Okay, suddenly it got INTERESTING!!! My father's evil evil evil evillllll friends had brought along A CUTE BOY to lure me in!!! and OMG....... he's truly a devil on the piano!!! And he's soooooo CUTE! OK, maybe he's not Takki-cute but if someone can play the piano like HE DOES... he becomes "TAKKI-CUTE" in my eyes!!! I think he's pretty young... perhaps only about 22 or 23... tops... OMG but he's soooo cuteeee.... Aaaaaa pletak pletak nereeee don't be a REAL-LIFE genki na oba-san! Bwahahhahaaa.... but looks could be deceiving! He could be a baby-faced 30-year-old, right? (Yeah, you wish!) And I'm still woozy... because he's so cute! Suddenly singing for the band seems very very appealing! They better bring him along now everytime they do one of these weekly jam sessions.... Or actually... I don't mind if they turn it into a DAILY thing.... just bring him along!!! And I'll gladly serve the band in the vocals department, 24-7, hell, I'll sing the most oldies of the oldiest for them! No strings attached! (OK, there is a string attached = cute boy!)
No, I didn't get his number, but we did exchange something... and that is A SONG LIST Songs he likes that I have to learn, and songs I like that HE HAS TO LEARN so we can make GREAT MUSIC TOGETHER on his next visit Kyaaayayayayaaaa.... the cute boy is coming back!!! Daddy!!! Can you set up another session NEXT WEEKEND??? Okay, maybe he's not that cute... but like I said.... when one can make music like he does...... <== self-explanatory enough for you? But if he had started playing Chopin right then and there I would've asked him to marry me on the spot
So I ended up jotting down a NEW CRITERIA on the type of guys that I like... and that would be:
MUST BE A MUSICAL PERSON, PREFERRABLY PIANO-PLAYING
Ye Gads.... that just made me 100000% PICKIER than what I already am, doesn't it??? So where can I find a TAKKI-FACED, 6' TALL, HEART OF GOLD, CARING, FAITHFUL, RELIGIOUS, WITTY, LOGICAL, AMBITIOUS, ANIMANGA-ENTHUSIAST, UNDERSTANDS NERE'S FANGIRL NEEDS, INTELLIGENT PIANIST WITH PERFECT ENGLISH???
Yeeks, good luck nere...
Oh, and btw!!! I forgot to go crazy over THE LAST SAMURAI that I FINALLY saw on Sunday with celle....!!! No, NOT Tom Cruise! But that samurai lord KATSUMOTO Ah... such a great epic... and despite that some people said that the character of Nathan Algren was a little big overexaggerated and overdone... I really don't think so at all... I hardly think it's being overdone at all...!!! Perhaps only in the open-field war scene... Do ALL WARS happen like that? From Scotland (Braveheart) to Rome (The Gladiator) to Japan (Last Samurai)... the war scenes are uncannily similar that when some people mention LAST SAMURAI = BRAVEHEART IN JAPAN... I must agree! But other than that... they kept everything else very well made... including not forcing the Japanese characters to "impossibly" speak great English or something... And Tom Cruise's Japanese wasn't so bad either! And I liked how they gave him choppy-worded Japanese sentences... so his character won't seem too "FAKE" in his language progress So all in all... I liked the movie... A LOT! Even better than LORD OF THE RINGS! And crazy crazy Takki-obsessed nere couldn't help wondering throughout the whole movie that WHAT IF... just WHAT IF TAKKI HAD BEEN CAST FOR THE PART OF NOBUTADA??? Too much??? I don't think so... I mean, Nobutada is young... and he's quite a pretty boy... and he an archer too... aaaaaaaaahhhh perfect! Mwahahahhaa...... maybe NOT! Because then, Takki would completely tip the whole BALANCE of the movie because he's far too beautiful compared to every other person in the movie... including TOM CRUISE & KOYUKI! And if Takki had been cast as NOBUTADA... I'd probably still be crying my eyes out right now because we all know what happened to Nobutada... ne?
I'm a Takki-nut, I tell ya... I don't know what to do with myself...

JOHNNY'S DAY #2: DROOLSOME & TAMAGO-OVERDOSED
I had soooo much fun today with toro-chan & nenek-chan... We spent literally THE ENTIRE DAY just overdosing ourselves with Johnny's stuff.... mainly just Takki & KAT-TUN... on nenek's HUGE TV screen...!!! It's really something to see them in such a huge-ass screen! I think we pretty much memorized the ONE DAY ONE DREAM moves... We still can do the YUME together... like we always do when we hang out together... gotta do the Yume, it's an ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!!! And now our heads are ringing with echoes of HARUKANA YAKUSOKU and "You are my DIS-TI-NY..." Muhauhauhauhaaa... I think we spent most of the time just cracking up at KAT-TUN's crazy hipwork and their cheekiness (More like Jin's cheekiness) The entire time after we left from nenek's place... I kept humming... "You are my destiny..." And Harukana Yakusoku too... thanks to the J-ASEAN POPS VCDs... where that song was just repeated and repeated in the footages...! Hoahauhauaa... the last time I watched it was quite awhile ago, and NOT ON SUCH A HUGE SCREEN so it's really SOMETHING to actually rewatch it!!!
And the funniest part was during those interviews... OMG... Jin's face when the Thai host was talking to them in English was like = and then he quickly turned to look at JIMMY MACKEY for translations!!! Omaigod man... these boys really have NO CLUE on BASIC, SIMPLE ENGLISH??? Then how are we to communicate with them if we meet them? There will be a DEFINITE COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN! Dakara... nihongo is very important, ne? I love that part where Takki was asked to demonstrate boxing moves in front of the camera too.... hahaha he was kinda embarrassed too... his face is just so cute! And when the boys were asked by the host to demonstrate the signature Johnny's backflips... after it was done, Takki said, "Douzo..." with a huge-ass grin, teasing the host to demonstrate it himself! Hahahahahhaa.... so playful ne, Takki!
There was also this one question that asked Takki what kind of girl he likes... and then a very sheepish kind of embarrassed smile appeared on his face...  <-- yeah sort of like these two icons And he said he liked GENKI, AKARUI girls... which means happy & bright girls... not literally BRIGHT but I think he means... someone very cheerful and happy...! So everyone be genki & akarui, ne??!
I'm still dizzy from that you-can-see FISHNET TOP Takki wears... singin 894 Hakushi... Hyaaaaa... watching J-Asean Pops made me realize WHAT A COMPLETE WASTE it was not packing up and going to Bangkok then and there!!!  Right, toro-chan? He even sang FIGHT ALL NIGHT WITH KATTUN!!! And that crazyyyyy flipping fall he did from quite a height!!! Chotto abunai ne?! And it's NOT just any fall... it was a CHOREOGRAPHED FALL too... crazy crazy crazy... no safety cords... no safety nets... I don't even know where he fell too... I hope there's a huge ass air-mattress at where he falls off to!!! TAKIZAWA! THE ABUNAI THINGS YOU DO!!! No wonder he needs to be insured!!!
But anyway, it was just an entirely FUN, FUN, FUN day... it really has been such a long time since the last time we did this, huh? Next time, we'll try to fit in our BLACK PEPPER CRAB session somewhere in the day!
I'm still going round and round the web updating myself with what I had missed throughout the weekend!!!
OMEDETOU, OSAKA!
They're gonna get a DREAM BOY roadshow come May 2004!!! It was decided and announced on the last show of Dream Boy, I think... everywhere I'm reading is saying that DB is definitely going to Osaka!!! It's gonna perform in Osaka from APRIL 30 - MAY 23....
HEY, WAITAMINIT.....
Doesn't T&T's concert start on APRIL 29 in Yokohama? And wait a second.... there's one show too in Yokohama on APRIL 30 as well!!! Omigod... does this mean he's gonna have to be in TWO PLACES at the same day??? Performing at a CONCERT AND DREAM BOY??? Madness, I tell you, this is MADNESS! So now I wonder... is DB ever gonna make it to Taiwan? Actually, now seeing his crazy schedule, I DO NOT WANT HIM TO ROADSHOW TO TAIWAN!!! Poor Takki!!!! As much as I want to see DB in Taiwan (Because Japan = 10000x more expensive ) but if it's gonna kill him.... I'd rather not.......
So is PATTAYA MUSIC FESTIVAL 2004 definitely out of the question in Takki's agenda? Thai no minna-san... onegai shimasu... please do give me some information if you hear anything... if Takki goes to Pattaya... I'm flying there too!!! nenek-chan... you coming? tako-chan? alyssa-chan?
According to Nikkan Sports, up to the last show, Dream Boy has had a total of 75,604 audience... Oro..... that would average about 3,000+ audience per day.... about 1,000-1,500 per show...? How big is the Imperial Theatre's capacity? No idea...... hmmm it's not that much huh... 1,000-1,500 per show? Or am I comparing an apple to an orange when I'm comparing a musical with a CONCERT??? Hahahaha....
****GASP*****
REALDX was performed on the January 31st show??? My goodnessssss...... so luckyyyy.. everyone who got to see it!!! I haven't seen RealDX since that Shokura performance back in.... was it March or May 2003? Not so sure..... so long ago... and I loveeeeedddd that song to death!!! Did Takki perform alone? Or did Tsubasa come up the stage with him? Must read around more.... RealDX is not REALDX if performed just by either one of T&T... ne~?
Anyone seen the ONE DAY ONE DREAM PV yet????? I'm not sure if it already showed on VIEWSIC... like all the previous PV downloads I always get are usually from this channel... but anyway, on the schedule for TUESDAY - FEBRUARY 3, 2004, One Day One Dream was listed on the fan@viewsic program
On the T&T Avexnet Site it says that the PV's On-Air date is FEBRUARY 1st on "街頭VISION" <-- what channel is this? hmm.. I guess it should've already aired?
MITAI~~~
誰がPVを見ましたか？ 教えて下さい！ お願いします！
And I just realized too that ONE DAY ONE DREAM was in Myojo 3's YOUNG SONG! The ENTIRE lyrics!!! The full version!!!!! Ahhhh~~~ I can't wait for the single!!! HAYAKU KITE KUDASAI YO!!!
OK... gonna swing around the web again for now...............

 TAKKI: "A-HA! NERE HAS A NEW LAYOUT!"
Yes girls... (and boys, if any) It's finally FEBRUARY... we're stepping into the SECOND MONTH OF YEAR 2004! So fast!!! Where did January go? Where did DREAM BOY go? Oh well!!! Time to step into February into the month of SHOCK, ne~~?
Anywaaaayyy........
TAKKI IN MYOJO 3 = KAWAII~!!!
Deshou? Deshou? Just look!!! He looks sooo cute... I'm sooo happy MYOJO put a T&T page that is actually cute and worth buying this time! The last last couple of issues had been just simply.... DISAPPOINTING... Not to mention with that Takki squished in the middle of the binding... oooh I was soooo mad at that pic!!! But anyway... they have a very cute TACKEY & TSUBASA Q&A going on here... and let's see if I can get some of it written here... ne? I'll do the Takki comments for now... since it's nearing uncivilized hours.... Will update with Tsubasa's cute comments (yes, there are many in this issue!!!) later on
What is the #1 incident that happened just recently?
Takki said: "AKANISHI'S 「バック宙」 "
By the way... what is 「バック宙」??? I'm not sure... but it might be.... backflip??? Let's assume it's backflip because it seems to fit the story....
Anyway, Takki said that during rehearsal time, Akanishi Jin said that he's gonna attempt to do a 「バック宙」 and asked everyone to watch, but he failed or something and crashed onto the floor or something and it made a very shocking loud sound, and everyone was like shocked...
So is this how Jin injured himself??!!! tako-chan, you told me last week that Jin was quite seriously injured right??? I think this is what happened! It was during rehearsal.... baka Jin wants to show off perhaps! Ah... poor Jin!
What is the most delicious thing you've eaten recently?
Takki said: "RAMEN."
He continued to say that when he went to Hokkaido to shoot the PV, he had collected names of famous ramen shops in the area... perhaps he bought a ZAGAT RAMEN SHOP IN HOKKAIDO SURVEY or something muhauahuhaaa...
What is the #1 change you noticed in yourself?
Takki said: "IMPROVEMENT OF BALANCE."
Balance??? Meaning.... his body's balance or something??? Hehehe... He said that doing turns in his dancing has improved or something... and it is because he's been seriously training and practicing for the musical...
When is the time you feel yourself being childish?
Takki said: "WHEN I'M TALKING WITH KATTUN."
Hahahhaa Takki!!! Did you turn into a kodomo everytime you're hanging out with KATTUN??? Kawaii... I wanna see a kiddy Takki!!! So he turns kiddy with KATTUN... and an adult with Tsubasa because Tsubasa is kiddy?
Who are the people you want to talk to the most?
Takki said: "JUNIOR HIGHSCHOOL CLASSMATES."
He said that he's never been to a reunion not even once, althought he would like it very much to go to his junior highschool reunion and meet his old classmates!!! And the cute thing was... he said in this article, that whoever is his junior highschool classmate reading this article should write a postcard to MYOJO and label it "TAKIZAWA CLASS REUNION" or something.... Oh... so cute! He wants to meet his old friends!!!
What's the #1 musical instrument you want to be able to play?
Takki said: "VIOLIN."
He said that he had taken lessons twice or three times but he GAVE UP instantly!!! Yes, those were his exact words, he used the words "GIVE UP" verbatim, written in katakana! So he said that he wants "REVENGE" (Again, exact words used by Takki)... Aiyayayayaa Takki playing the violin!!! Ano... blurky-chan... perhaps you can teach him...?
What would you like to say to your AIKATA?
Takki said: "STAGE TICKETS."
Takki said that last year during New Year... he and Tsubasa WENT TO DISNEYLAND!!! SOOOO CUUUUTEEEE~~~ Can you imagine the two of them running around in Disneyland??? Anyway, he said that they didn't go this year because both were very busy with their stage performances... and he would like it very much to go and see SHOCK... so he's demanding to receive tickets from Tsubasa!!!
Mwahahahhaaa.... ok folks... that's it for tonight..... if I wrote something incorrect please someone correct me...!
Yay yay yay..... gonna have our JOHNNY'S DAY tomorrow!!! toro & nenek-chan... are u girls ready??? « entry
