before the Denpajou translation… i found a bit more info about the short video clip. When they thought they hit something, Takki got out of the car to check. But no one or nothing was there. Takki got back into the car and was about to drive off when they saw a splatter of blood on the windshield. And then there’s something about the close-up view of a ghost’s eye…

thats creepy ne~ i guess we’ll just have to wait until Mich + Kat are back from Takki-land to find out what really happened in the clip!

(more…)

We just came back from another sugoi performance! And btw, this is Kat. =) Mich faint from excessive kyaaing because we are sitting at 1st floor 4th roll today! It’s really different from yesterday view! Zen Zen! We are suffering from major nosebleed in Act1 and major sobbing fest in Act2! Now I realise that the seatings made a huge difference! Mich can’t stop shalala’ing! and the hand act! When we reach the last stop, we realised we are the only one left on the train! We are so caught up in our conversation that the stop just reach in a zit! Mich is so hyper that the samui kaze is JUST a cooling breeze to her! You can imagine what the close up views are doing to her brain! *pat pat mich’s brain-san* Oh btw, I don’t know Takki is a super pain-killer to Mich-chan! He can take away any discomfort she felt just by staring intensely at Totsu!!! =DDDD And needless to say the bloody scene and the “With Love” performance where he took our breathe away all at once!

Ok! I shall stop abusing her blog and take my shower! hahahah.. lol.. should we see one more show?

These bits and pieces were translated from various BBSs and fan reports…
and *chu*mich for the quick summary~!

• Similar to last year, the first two rows in the front were removed. So those who have seats in the third row will now be sitting in the first row!!
• Takki only went up to the second floor once. and that was during Inishie.
• In the “Jr’s play” corner (the “bubble” scene from the DVD), they didnt use bubbles, but played with nunchucks, rubik’s cubes, and sensu.
• Tono performed ShaLaLa and Mugen no Hane in a black & silver suit and hat. The performance was really kakkoii, but a lot of fans said “Mugen no Hane was a song that made me want to cry…”
• Before they played the short video clip, Takki told the audience to “Be mentally prepared…” Matchy-san was the narrator for the video. Takki was driving a car with Fujigaya in the passenger seat, and the rest of Ebikisu (Kitayama, Tsuka-chan, and Kawai) in the back… They were wearing casual clothes and were chatting as they drove into a tunnel. All of the sudden, there was the sound of a crash. Takki got out to check on the car and… thats the most that anyone has written about the video. But like Mich, a lot of fans said it was really scary and that they screamed and even cried.
• KATTUN and Hey!Say!Jump did not end up being in the video *lol*
• During the video, a directors chair appeared on the hanamichi. The words “滝沢組” (組 meaning group/company) was on the back of the chair
• Act 1 ended at around 7:30
• Act 2 + encore ended at around 9:20

Curtain call:

• 殿 : my new single will be released on May 6th…
  客 : *giggles*
  殿 : … no? its not May 6th?
  客 : *giggles*
  殿 : Look it up yourself!
• when Tono said, “lets introduce the members…” the Happy Bday tune started playing and Totsu + Kawai brought out a huge chocolate cake
• 殿 : i just turned 23!!
  客 : EHHHHHH~~
  殿 : i’ll be 23 forever yo!
• When Takki said “片して” which means “lets split (the cake),” everyone began to leave the stage thinking that Takki meant “片付けて” which means “lets finish and tidy up.” Then, Totsu said “Get back here! Takki was talking about the cake! the cake!!” XD

Others:

• A new and temporary J-web corner called “Tono no Inochi” was set up.
• A picture of this year’s Takikomi gohan and Kani Kaisen Salad Soba
• A picture of the pamphlet

Greetings from Japan~ XD Back in the hotel room finally! Takki Sugoi!! Kakkoii! Kawaii!!! XDDDDD Just some short notes for now (*Warning: Enbujo’09 Spoilers*). I’ll be doing a full review of the shows after I’m back. Bon-chan will bring you translations from bbs reports.

• Most of Act 2 is similar to last yr’s, but Act 1 was rather different.
• The VTR was… OMG!!!!! I SCREAMED AT LEAST 5 TIMES DURING THAT SHORT FEW MINUTES! I bet almost everyone in the theatre screamed!! And I mean, REALLY SCREAMED!!! IT WAS DAMN SCARY!!! Tono~ I think you’ve achieved your aim! LOL!
• KYAAAAAA!!! “Mugen no Hane” and “Sha La La” performances are so SEXY!! The 4 Jrs were dancing with Takki, and for “Mugen no Hane”, they joined in the singing for some parts too. SO COOL!! The tune is really nice!!! And the dance rocks big time! So many sexy moves, with the hats and hands… Awww~~ I love “Mugen no Hane”!!
• The themesong of Enbujo is still “With Love”. I was so happy to hear that~ There’s always a special feeling when Enbujo ends with “With Love” *melts*
• There were 2 curtain calls for the opening show today.
• During the first one, he was talking halfway when the birthday tune played, and Jrs pushed out a cake with loads of candles on it!! We all sang “Happy Birthday” for Tono, but he said he has become 23 years old! When we went ‘Eh……’, he scolded us “Ussai!” LOL!
• He talked about doing Takizawa Kakumei in January. Then he said there wasn’t much time to prepare this time, but added that he likes Enbujo best after all! XDDD (Me too!! ^^) He also said that it’s been a saikou birthday~ XDDD
• He left the theatre at about 10.50 to 11pm.

Here’s the Enbujo Goods List (for those who’re requesting):

• Pamphlet: 2,000yen
• Poster: 800yen
• Original Photosets (3 sets of Takki): 600yen/set
• Shopping Bag: 500yen
• Sensu: 1,500yen
• Clearfile: 500yen

Just now, we were browsing the goods and found a new Takki logo printed on them. It’s really cool and looks like a 3D cube with the words (katakana) of “タッキー” forming the lines within the cube :) Ok, that’s all for now. Maybe I’ll post the Goods and Foods List first, and then the show reports later, as I always do with Enbujo. I hope I don’t take too long to get my report up:)

The opening show has just started! ^__^
hopefully, people will start writing reports soon~

1) As many of you already know, there is another limited version of シャ・ラ・ラ that is now on sale at Mu-mo’s Tackey Shop. It costs 1,050 yen and includes a bonus track titled “Tegami” which was self-composed by Takki. The lyrics were written almost like a letter from Takki, describing the feelings that he has towards his fans. Pre-ordering can only be done if you have a Japanese address.

2) According to one of the Enbujou performers’ blog, yesterday’s rehearsal did not end until very late… (she said “until yesterday… i mean today” so i assume that it went past midnight?)

3) Kyomoto Masaki-san also talked about Takki on his blog. He called him “Tono” and said Tono’s a very caring person because even though he’s been busy with Enbujou, he still took the time out to contact Kyomoto-san.

4) The Jshop added 18 new Takki photos on March 25. They are of course offshots from the Takara Chu-Hi CM.
