Just came back from our last Enbujo’09 show… I was sitting beside the hanamichi, arguably my best Enbujo seat ever! So I had a REALLY CLOSE LOOK at Tono from underneath his shanao cloth! OMG!!! HIS BEAUTIFUL AND HANDSOME FACE!!!!! He’s really really the best looking person I’ve ever seen in my whole life!! And he was less than a metre away…. I almost couldn’t breathe after that. You can ask Kat! KAT-CHAN, ARIGATO!!! *HUGS & KISSES*

This show was so memorable~ I’ll talk about it more in detail in my report, but we laughed the most (shadow adlib & marshmallow was so funny and different from the other 5 shows we watched), and we sobbed the most too. Everyone around us were sobbing during the Tono and Tottsu scene. You really need to look at Tono’s expression during that scene~ *sniff sniff*

There were some misses today which again proved how cool Tono is. After the 1st April show, and this one, I really really admire his coolness in handling those unexpected situations.

And… and… we saw Tono crying… close up! *DIES*

…and bought a ticket for our extra show… not supposed to have any shows today, but we couldn’t resist… I know I HAVE to see “Mugen no Hane” as many times as possible! And “Sha La La” too! And that VTR! And the drums beating! And the make up scene, Tottsu singing Sha La La, the shadow scene, the adlibs, etc etc etc…. But I know each time I see a show, I have to endure a few minutes of sniffing towards the end… Watching close up with binocs, the expressions of Tono and Tottsu, one is sure to be moved ne. If you’re going for Enbujo’09, please do not forget to bring your binocs!

We wanted to check out if the 1st Floor 3rd row seats were still available at the Harajuku shop, but when we got there at about 12pm, we found that it’s already sold out. Of coz, who wouldn’t grab it when the price was reduced to only 49,000 yen for 2 tix! The boss at the shop told us they are left with only 1 tix at 2nd Floor 4th row, but there are 2 of us, so he kindly helped us to call their Shibuya branch. And hora~ there’re 2 tix for 2nd Floor 5th row (2nd last row) center, selling for only 5,000 yen each! The price was drastically reduced since it’s the last day hour!! Mind you, the show starts at 1pm!

Quickly, we paid for our tix, and ran/walked really fast to Harajuku station – through that crowd! It was the usual Takeshitadori crowd, so you can imagine how hard it is to get through the entire mountain of people!! By the time we reached the train pavement, we were panting… Then we took a stop down to Shibuya – again it’s “mountain people mountain sea” – and walked through that famous X-junction, found the shop with the help of a small map the boss gave us. Hurriedly grabbed our tix, back to the station, and then realised we didn’t know how to get to Higashiginza from there LOL. So we had to ask the train station guy, and after another chicken-and-duck talk, and changing trains twice, we finally got to Higashiginza. Up the stairs, through the streets and 2 traffic lights, around the building, into the theatre, to the toilet, and straight to our seats (which were right in the middle and had a superb view of the whole stage!). It was only a couple of minutes before Hiromi walked in with his violin… *Phew* We made it! XDDD

We didn’t even have time to eat before the show, so we ate our rice rolls (my nattou roll) during the intermission. And it was only after that that we noticed there were new stage photos!! We had run past them at the beginning lol… There are 20 stage photos in this first batch – 12 Takki and 8 Jrs (one per Jr). Number 2 is chou kakkoii ne!!! No. 2 (hitting drum), 3 (holding camera), 6 (chuushingura) & 12 (happy days segment) are new costumes, the rest were worn last year. But I also love the one of Ushiwaka – Tono looked like he was on the verge of tears u_u; Apart from that, the photo album (1,000yen each) is added to the goods list.

This is Mich who has been Mugen no Hane-ing the entire night… Kat’s asleep now by the way, so she’ll have no chance to abuse my blog fufufufu~~

• Re: the scary movie clip, Takki said “You can hear ‘Kyaaa~’ from the audience. I’m 80~90% satisfied.”
• Matchy-san told Takki to make an even scarier movie *lol* and in response to that, Takki said “Matchy-san was even scarier than the ghost…”

[Sanspo]

• “I would like to try and be a movie director. I want to film an action movie.”
• Fujima Murasaki-san, who died on March 27th, had reserved tickets to go to the April 4th show…

[Yomiuri]

• There were barely any changes made to this year’s Act 2. In response to this Takki said “Next year, i would like to do something completely different.”
• Johhny’s Jr, Fujima Takahiko, is the grandson of the late Fujima-san. Being an entertainer herself and understanding the significance / responsibilities of a supporting role, Fujima-san told Takahiko-kun to make the butai his first priority… which is why he did decided to perform in Enbujou on the night of the funeral.

March 30th

• On the opening day, ShaLaLa preordering counters were set up on the first floor and in the basement. But today, there was only one counter (on the first floor)
• During the “Jr’s play” corner, the Jrs were playing with nunchucks and Tono teasingly said, “Try and recite a poem while you’re using the nunchucks” and after the Jr did just as he was told, Tono said “You’re kawaii no matter what you do!”
• Before the short video clip started, Tono went over to the hanamichi and sat in director’s chair. The spotlight and live camera suddenly moved to where the special guests (Kobayashi-san, Tokushige Satoshi-san, Watanabe-san) were sitting. Tono turned to them and said “Kokuchisezu no toki ni osewani narimashita~” (Thank you for your kindness during Kokuchisezu)

Takizawa Hideaki

Well~ I am doing Takizawa Enbujou again this year!! I want to become one with the rest of the cast. We did this last year too, but that is why i want to communicate with the Jrs through this Johhny’s web corner.

The topic is “What is something lucky that has happened to you? And is there anything you’d like to say to me through this special corner?”

This question is for everyone da yo!

The first to answer will be Saburo Tottsu and Oldie (Kawai). Yoroshiku~

if you are wondering why Tono calls Kawai “Oldie”… it started during ONE! and since then Tono has been teasing Kawai about how old he looks despite being the youngest member of ABC. Of course, Ryousuke is now the newest and youngest member… but Tono is right! i think Kawai looks even older than Tono! XD
