Okay, so now Takki has to do 41 shows in 26 days, and for 16 out of that 26 days, he has to do 2 shows a day! So, for the entire run in January (and with 7th Jan being the release date of the all-important first solo debut single), he only has ONE day of rest — on the 19th. Great! Are they trying to kill him?
I know there has been great demand, but this seems a grueling schedule. He always lost weight for Enbujou, I am afraid to think of what this will do to him. Plus the risks for everyone when exhaustion sets in.
I can’t help thinking they could have had him do another, shorter run, some time later, in another theater or in Osaka, for instance. As for Tsubasa’s World Wing, although of course in Tsu’s case it was more a tryout and then Tokyo. But Takki is by now something of a veteran of solo shows in Tokyo, so the idea of tryout would not apply. But “brought back by popular demand” springs to mind for a second run.
simone~ they did that for dreamboy when they brought the butai to osaka after the success in tokyo. but no, they can’t do it now coz there’s still enbujo ne… doing 2 butais a year is already very taihen… if he were to split each butai into 2 venues, i think there’d only be bones left by the end of 2009 :(
(O_o) Should I fear a skinny Tono in the near future again? They’re going to kill him with this insane schedule. I hope they at least give him a few minutes to BREATHE every now and then, sheesh. =(
Thanks for the updates. I’m sending Tono a truck of fried chicken, he’ll need it. XD
Michelle, my thought (fear) has actually been that Johnny-sama was replacing enbujou with Takizawa Kakumei.
I hope I am wrong, as that would kill any hope I had had of ever seeing enbujou. That’s why I was thinking of a second (shorter) set of shows. Otherwise, indeed, there would be nothing left of him!
Oh no! tono just regain his flesh n now it seem like he’s going to lose it again!!! damn jimusho!! *pout* His looks now are fabulous! Arrgghh.. He’s supposed to be off on 5/1, now he’s practically working his butt off with only 1 off day on 19/1 for the entire Jan09.. *cry for tono*
I cant think..adding to his busy rehearsals, he still have to manage his release of the new solo, the promoting n maybe tv shows, mag shoots n loads of other things he need to do too!!! Oh dear, tono!!! o.o;;
Simone, I hope u r wrong on the Enbujou too! I dun ever wanna think that I wont have a chance to see it! The thoughts are unbearable!!!
Ahhh….as I predicted…….I mentioned last time that Johnny’s might add some more shows and they did. Poor Tono….he has to accommodate all the requests. Of course, knowing Takki he can’t refuse his fans…..
I just wish him to take some rest and eat a lot while he still can…..because he has a very tiring and grueling days ahead of him.
stephi-chan~ i hope there’s no bunjees so at least he can eat in between the shows. sigh…
simone~ i get what u mean. ah, but no, they can’t take away enbujo. i think there will still be enbujo ne… i hope… ahh, must stay positive! maybe enbujo’08 dvd will be released during enbujo’09?
kat~ sou desu ne, hao bu rong yi gain back that bit of flesh, and one butai run will take it all away… *cries* and all the million and one other things he has to do. tokyo walker essays, single promos and mag interviews like u mention. probably there won’t be any tv promos? hmm… i dunno but where can he find the time to do everything? there’re only 24hrs a day…
sannah~ yea, unfortunately. but adding it at the start of the butai run is really taihen. it’s a good thing for fans, but taihen for him.
I know what you mean. *poor guy!* -_- It’s sad to see him get only 1 day’s rest of all that hard work. Wow~ I hope he’ll think of wanting to visit Hawaii again way after the show gets through…hehe (hey, one can ‘wish’ right? lol)
One last word about enbujou: I hope they release enbujou ’08 dvd during Kakumei. That’s what I am hoping for!
Also, I don’t think he needs to do tv promos for Kakumei. I mean, they can’t sell any more seats! Maybe now, if they put giant screens in some arena, and you could follow the show “live” like some of the football games here…(lol, just kidding)
simone~ oh, the tv promos i meant aren’t for the butai, but for the single :) without promos, i dunno how ippan ppl are going to even know that there is such a single being released… i hope at least they have some posters up at some train stations?
