Ho! Summer is a catchy song, first time I heard it, I like it ^^ And the PV is so much ♥ Makes me rabu the song even more! Hehehe~ I got into T&T just before this single was released, so the entire Ho! Summer rush was quite special. During the promos for this single, Takki wore his cowboy hat ^^, Tsubasa has one of his best hairstyles to date~ and most of the time, both boys wore white t-shirts and jeans!! (I love such outfits!)
“Michi” has got to be the best song of this single (only found in the Regular version). The tune itself is so nice~~ and the lyrics is really meaningful… Tsubasa’s solo is really nice too~ and the lyrics to Takki’s “Taste me” is really quite… “Taste me, honey! Eat me, honey! Drink me, honey!!” LOL~~
Jacket A’s DVD off-shots – filming of the Ho! Summer PV in Saipan!! Sugoi~~ although it’s so short, we see the boys having so much fun, baking in the sun *Tanned Takki = Yummy*, and teaching the furitsukes… Kawaii~~~
As of 30 June 2007, my ichiban favourite Takitsuba single cover is this Jacket C! I just think it’s done very well. That when people actually see the cover, they’d feel like picking up the CD (compare it to the fierce looking 2U4U covers lol~)… that kind of feeling ne! Everything looks so fresh, blue and white~ there’s the blue sky, blue sea, beach, deckchair and genki-looking boys in white tops and denims~! ^_^
