take your hands

24 Jikan news on zoomin, nothing much new, introduting all the personalities and MC, and a short talk.
Kin-chan says they are sparking XDD and for some unfanthomable reason they kept doing this weird dance/walk thing… *kawaii*

They mentioned that Takki likes to sing Sarai in the karaoke, Tsubasa says his role is to listen XDDD
And the important thing about singing Sarai is not how well you sing it, but that you have to sing it like this:

*drops back into bed*

Last night’s tobase:

Got disconnected a few seconds before it ends tho ^^:

６月７日の翼のｔｏ ｂａｓｅは・・・
メールたくさん、相談もたくさん！
コーナー盛りだくさんでお送りします！

Starts off with talking about his niece again XD He was surprised that he didn’t talk about her much last week.
She’s 3 weeks old now, and just caught a cold, so he’s refraining from visiting. He buys looooots of baby clothes for her to the point people think he’s buying it for a model. Someone asked if he has kissed her on the lips, he says he’ll wait till she’s one years old and kisses her on her forehead for now xDDDDD

Next week’s is some kind of Recomman special and there’d be a keyword game…

24hr news: Sanspo, Nikkan, OS (clearest photo).
Tsubaholic’s blog has more info on it, basically there were a press conference announcing who will be hosting which corner.
Takki says he is glad to be able to participate in this show, which had started before he was born.
Tsuba says he went to different places and felt the profoundness of life, and wants to express it to others via the show.The theme of this year is “The moment where your life changes”.
Takki says his life changed when he entered the Entertainment world, and he can’t imagine what he would be right now if he hadn’t joined. (Not pro wrestler? XD). Tsubasa mentioned that if he hadn’t been in this line of work, he wouldn’t have met a lot of the people he knows now, so he is glad to have been in this job.The T-Shirt this year is designed by BAPE, not T&T
Actually, I really don’t like the way it looks right now, it looks like someone just loaded up coral draw, put the text in circle, and copy and paste the BAPE ape face in the middle, wtf?
ah well…

ps. Tsuyoshi mentioned Tsubasa in Duet. They went out for dinner together after MS, and talked for 3 hours there, he gave Tsubasa advices, and says that Tsubasa is always learning new things and getting ideas and inspirations from different places.
Tsuyoshi also says that Tsubasa is really good at dancing, but we don’t get to see it often, he hopes that there’d be opportunities for us to see his talents. (So the interview was done before the dance show was decided? btw, Tsuyoshi-niisan, I you~)
He also says that Tsubasa is very gentlemanly and doesn’t get angry at people, and handles troubles very maturely, and he like the way he is frank and honest. And that although they are different types, they are similar in a lot of ways.

Official site updated staff comments, basically saying that they will be shooting the PV and CD jacket for SAMURAI~ I wonder what style would it be (any Peacock suit?)
Speaking of PV, apparently the Taiwan TV stations slapped a “PG” sign on the Dame PV

The FC sent out application form for the Shochikuza dance show (I wonder if the FC will reply to my letter & let me join & let me ballot in time. I takes a few miracles happening all at once, but hey, it is *just* possible I’ll get lucky for once XD ) along with a handwritten message from Tsubasa (thanks, wribbit for the image).

Hugely paraphrased translation:

Good day, this is Imai! ^_^
How are you?
I am fine and my days are exciting and educational lately.
Anyway, this is the 5th anniversay for TakiTsuba, we want to celebrate it with everyone with events and the Best of Album.
In August, we were given the honor of hosting the 24 Jikan TV together. Like always, I hope we can make this show a warm and gentle thing with your help!
Also, there is one more thing in August!
I will be doing something in Shochikuza in Osaka, I’m very excited about it!
I want to make this a precious experience for you and myself. I will present it to you with all my heart, please look forward to it!!
We are announcing a lot of good news all at once, but lets treasure them and make them into great things one by one~

- Tsubasa

The way he is using keigo and his hand writing are soooo cute~ (and technically he wrote 沢山 incorrectly XD)
(Ling, it IS much better than mine!)

p.s. OMG Takki!!! (re: WU interview. Only saw fan’s comment and Chinese trans. I don’t think I’ll be able to get the magazines until Friday)
————
ps. if anyone knows any friend/seller that can & is willing to help me with balloting, please let me know~~~

Tsubasa updated 283 again!
from blogs:
Says they were shooting the SAMURA PV today, there were very “manly” scenes, and solo shots of them in washo (traditional clothes) and with swords.
Says he is monopolizing the video of Takki being kakkoii in front of the monitor now XDDD

As stasya requested. ^^
As always, corrections/suggestions are more than appreciated
——
It is getting hot to the point of dizziness,
My heart racing so much I can’t stand it, please face this way.
Look, it is somehow extraordinary -
We have gathered up all the miracles in the world here.

Leave everything to me, things will become even more wonderful.
Come along with me everywhere with a smile
As long as you are by my side, things are somehow so pleasant
Come, the era is calling for us.

So yeah,
the REAL(ality) that we have always dreamed of,
is bursting open here and now, lets embrace.
You are not alone, come and leap toward here
I will catch you, so come on quickly.

I reached out my hands and touched you,
a single drop of tear has fallen.
Don’t cry, give me a strong and painful kiss
Suddenly, I want to hold you tight.

So yeah,
the REAL(ality) that we have always dreamed of,
is bursting open here and now, let’s grasp it
You are not alone, come and leap toward here
I will catch you, so come on quickly.

Finally got TV Pia on Saturday ^^
As mentioned before, I really like the layout, and the pictures, and the way he writes~
Still no idea how is 一片 supposed to be pronounced, but the English title for the article is “My Own Pieces”, pretty ^^

The image in the table of content page is nice too~ (forgot to scan, so it’s camera image)

This issue of TV Pia also have a small article on 24HR and Dame con too ^^
—————
According to blogs, Tsubasa FINALLY updated 283 early this morning (? I think)

Asked if we have seen the essay in TV Pia, says the he’ll tell us about his trip to France next time.
He is working hard on the Shochikuza show, 24HR, and Samurai lately.
The Shochikuza show is neither a concert nor a musical, it’s a show with dance as the main theme. He doesn’t have a clear idea on the format yet, but he is working hard on it, and it will be different from previous solo cons.
He has been taking lessons for Flamenco, and he has been practicing so much that his feet aches ^^;
The filming of 24HR has started also (eh, HAIR! HAIR!!! please tell me you’ve got it tidied up before the shooting). He is glad to be able to interact with people he doesn’t usually get to meet.
Apparently he was up at 6am typing the message ^^;
The background of his cellphone is now a picture of him, the baka uncle, and his niece XD
—————
Am now trying to write a letter to the FC asking if
1) It is possible to join the FC if I live overseas. Some Japanese fans seems to be saying it is not entirely out of the question.
2) If there’s ippan tickets, can I ballot for those?
Doubt I’d get any positive response, but it never hurt to try XD Plus at least that’d work as a reminder that there are people outside of Japan that wants to get to see the shows ><
My Japanese soooooo sucks.
