Refer to #5 of "You know you're an absolute TAKKI FREAK when..." at my previous post! 
These are the pics I took of the PICS hanging on the walls of SOUND 1st UMEDA right in front of the Hankyu Railway Central Entrance... I was actually browsing through CDs when I saw a bunch of pictures on a corner wall and decide to look if there are Takitsuba around, and honestly... I WASN'T EVEN EXPECTING TO *REALLY* FIND THEM THERE!!! 
But WOW! They're ACTUALLY thereeee!!! 
And I wasn't sure if I was allowed to take pictures... so I decided to try with my manual Olympus camera with the blitz OFF, but IT WON'T TAKE because it was too dark!!! 
By that time, both Cyn and
Tako were already barricading me so that the shopkeepers won't see what I'm up to! And voila, I had my DVcam handy in my bag and so I took the pictures using the DVcam!!!
They didn't come out too good, perhaps because I have
VERY SHAKY HANDS!!!!! 
Especially the Takitsuba one didn't come out too clear... but oh well.........
Takizawa Hideaki: "SOUND 1st UMEDA MISE-SAN, YOROSHIKU DA YO!"
Imai Tsubasa: "TO SOUND 1st UMEDA MISE-SAN, YOROSHIKU ONEGAI ITASHIMASU!"
Takitsuba: "TO SOUND 1st UMEDA MISE-SAN"
Yeah... just boring stuff, nothing interesting written there... as a matter of fact, I don't even think it was Takki's handwriting there because his handwriting
DOES NOT look like that!!! Tsubasa's handwriting seems to be his, ne...
Cyn seems to think so as well... but Takki's isn't even Takki's....
Oh and
DON'T STEAL MY PHOTOS!!!!! RAR!!!!! If you think I don't know about some of you taking and cropping off my screencaps.... I KNOW! I just don't say anything because they're just screencaps... but
I TOOK THESE PHOTOS so I'd appreciate it if you
DON'T steal & crop my name off or something!!! RAR!!!! I did a lot of sneaky things to get these blurry pics! LOL
And I need to get the
TUN photos developed soon.....
And
tako, do you realize it's now exactly
ONE WEEK since we last saw Takki!!!!!!!
MWAA~~~ TAKE ME BACK TO TAKKI!!! 
I guess MY aftermath didn't really hit me until today because I wasn't exactly completely HOME yet until right now... as much as I loved being reunited with my computer..... 
Suddenly MAJOR LOVESICKNESS just suddenly ATTACKED as I was *FINALLY* listening to my 2wenty 2wo CD...... (Yes, I FINALLY listened to this album because I only managed to get it in Japan, and there wasn't any CD players around until I got home... well, there's one at home in Singapore but I just didn't have the time...)
And like jenn said...
2WENTY 2WO *ROCKS* THE ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM! 
I give it my
TWENTY TWO THUMBS UP! (And I don't even have twenty two thumbs!!!!)
But oh my god... this album is just amazing... there isn't
A SINGLE BAD SONG in it..... and the minute I hit track 3, which is
PRIDE ♂ the END... I SUDDENLY GOT ALL SENTIMENTAL!!!!
Because the only PRIDE I've ever listened to was the MS/Utaban 1-2++minute versions, until I heard about the whole full version for the first time in
DREAM BOY'S SHOWTIME!!! So it felt
VERY Dream Boy to me....
And
DIAMOND too...
I'm suddenly getting all the images back in my head... of Takki dancing guru-guru in that black pinstriped shirt and white trousers...
I WANT TO *CRY*!!!
tako-chan was telling me yesterday how she felt all down and she kept sobbing like an idiot... and I even got a crazy lovesick long distance call from March yesterday who was just going
"Uhh.... Nyaaaa.... Mwaaaa....." the whole time......
(It was long distance despite I'm in Singapore because my number remains an Indonesian number)...
and earlier during the day I got an email from a very very
LOVESICK snuffles as well.....
WE'RE ALL INSANE!
I can't believe how insane we all are.......... and now I'm ready to bawl and cry like an idiot because it just completely hit me... I'm home, in front of my computer...
MY TAMAGO TRIP IS OVER!!!! And parts of Dream Boy are starting to get very
BLUR in my head......
(which is why I need to write
PART 2 like... FAST!!!!!)
What I enjoyed most from the trip was that how
EVERYONE present was just one of each other you know.... it was really nice being surrounded by people who
UNDERSTOOD COMPLETELY about each other's Takki kimochi...
One of us could be staring long and hard at a
PINK HELLO KITTY and the others would
TOTALLY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN HER HEAD Ah... I love you all!!!! What insanely crazy Takki fans we were!!! I actually couldn't sleep last night and I came up with this *small* list of what I call.....
YOU KNOW YOU'RE AN *ABSOLUTE* TAKKI FREAK WHEN:
1. You *STARE* at a crown-shaped ring in an accessories store and your fellow Takki fan know exactly what you're thinking about.
2. You see
PINK HELLO KITTY in a very different light now.
3. You get all sentimental when you pass electronic stores because the TVs are playing
FINDING NEMO.
4. You get all confused picking over gazillions of choices from a pasta menu.... until you see the word
"PEPPERONCHINO" or
"VONGOLE BIANCO".
5. You walk into a CD store in Umeda and you see that they have some sort of a wall of fame, you walk over looking for
TACKEY & TSUBASA's autographed pictures, and when you *DO* find them, you
TAKE PICTURES of the PICTURES as memorabilia.
6. You think about getting two mini dachschunds and call them
HIDEZO & HIDEPITA, or...
7. You get another dog and name it
"TAKKI", and then pray to God the dog doesn't die on you.
8. You get instant replays of the entire Dream Boy musical inside your head, all through the day, and cry at least
ONCE A DAY because your DB trip is over.
9. You stare for a good 20 minutes long at a
HOT PINK FEATHERED BOA until your fellow Takki fan screams to you over the phone,
"YAMETOKU YO NERE, OSAKA IS OVER!!!!!!! TAKKI ISN'T GOING TO SEE IT!!!!"
10. You turn on the television, sees that some
PRO WRESTLING program is on, and you don't change the channel.
11. Your shop photo album is inside your bag
ALL THE TIME... never apart more than 5 metres away from you.
12. You go to sleep with the DB pamphlet, Harucon pamphlet, shop photo album & 2wenty 2wo CD lying next to you on your bed, and
YOU DON'T ROLL OVER THEM THE ENTIRE NIGHT!
13. You buy
HOT PINK & BLUE nail polish and paint your nails alternatively with those two colors.

Do I need rehab????
Is it a bad thing really???
Actually, one funny thing.... when I walked into my home in Singapore after being on the plane + airport transits for almost 10 hours, the minute my grandmother open the door, she said,
"OMG you look so refreshed!"... and then the next day I was walking on Orchard Road, this woman stopped me saying she's from a talent agency and she asked if I want to try out my luck to be in a magazine??? (A MAGAZINE WANTS ME? THAT HAS TO BE SOME VERY
FISHY MAGAZINE! So... er... NO!)
And then my cousin's fiance says that I look
"DIFFERENT"... and coming home today, my dad said that his daughter looked prettier and my mom said that I finally had
COLOR on my usually pale thallasemic face
And when I visited
blurky... she said that I was constantly GRINNING, SMILING, and my face was
GLOWING??????
After that long trip in which I:
- Hadn't had any decent meals (I'd count perhaps only 1 meal a day?)
- Hadn't had any decent sleep (Sleep: 4.45 AM, Wake: 09.30 AM?)
- Hadn't even brushed my hair properly (except when I was going to DB shows)
- Had turned out to be on
MAJOR PMS because the minute I was on the plane that left Osaka, that damn unwanted monthly guest came flowing out.
And everyone is telling me that I look
refreshed? Radiant? Prettier? Different? Glowing? 
YAPPARI....
TAKKI = MY SOUL FOOD!
Let's see how long this supposed
RADIANCE will last.......
Man... Takizawa Hideaki is sure one
VERY EXPENSIVE ANTI-WRINKLE CREAM!!!!
I'll try the Part 2 review tomorrow......
Oh... wasn't
KAT-TUN on
Music Station doing
THREE SONGS including
DREAM BOY??????
(and two other songs I
NEVER heard of...?) Is this a sign that the Jimusho are gonna debut them?
