1) Yesterday on March 17, someone tweeted about being on the same returning flight as Takki. Their flight departed from Paris. Hours later, the same person tweeted again and said they were waiting for their luggage to come out… Takki was wearing all black and he was waiting around the baggage claim area with everyone else. So I guess, Takki is now back in Tokyo ne!

2) Although he just got off an 11 hour flight, Takki made a guest appearance at today’s Johnny’s baseball tournament @ Tokyo Dome!!

1) Even though we love Takki, fans can occasionally get lazy and not check TakiCHANnel ne~ I am totally guilty too! XD But you should really check out this week’s episode because it is absolutely adorable!! This week, karma is coming back to bite Takki in his cute little butt for all the pranks he has ever pulled on his kouhais throughout the entire history of TakiCHANnel. The Jrs each came up with a “puchi dokkiri” (or small prank) and some were hilarious!! But during the collapsing chair pranks like the one in the screenshot above… I accidentally let out a really loud scream when Takki fell! LOL

There was a Marching J event today at Tokyo Dome. It’s the one year anniversary of 311, so a majority of JE was expected to attend. There was no extrance fee. They started letting fans in at around 9:05 am. The donation booths and the event itself started at 10 am. People who wanted to attend had to enter the venue before 5 pm. The donation booths were officially closed at 9 pm.

And yes, Takki did make an appearance!!
Here’s a screenshot from a WS clip this morning :

According to a fan on Twitter, Takki was wearing all black (a black inner shirt, black double-breasted coat and black jeans with the ends tucked inside black UGG boots).

This was also everyone’s first look at Takki’s new hair ne!! The fans who went to the event mentioned that it looked more like a darker shade of reddish brown (that’s so dark it looks black?). It kinda appears that way in the screenshot… but perhaps it’s only due to the lighting?

According to J-net, Takki will be making a special appearance alongside Mickey & Minnie Mouse at this year’s Disney On Ice : Mickey & Minnie’s Princess and Hero !!!

Takki will be one of their “Special Supporters” and during the program, he’ll take part in a special number and he’ll also be singing the “Disney On Ice 2012 Special Song!”

Disney On Ice will be performing all around Japan, starting in July and continuing until October. According to the site, the first show in Tokyo starts on July 14. But it’s not clear whether Takki will be making an appearance at ALL the shows – including those that are outside of Tokyo? But we’ll be sure to let you guys know when more details are released ^^

On a personal note… I’m so excited for Tono!!!! He has always loved Disney, especially Mickey & Minnie, so I can only imagine how happy he must be about this special project. Tono~ honto ni omedetou!!!

Not to mention… we might get to see Takki in ice skates?!? OMGGG
