*YAY* finally got my Takki solocon pamphlet last nite :) SHIAWASE!!!! I din expect it to be of this size but it’s so kireii~~ ♥ I hope the christmas unitcon pamphlet can be something like this, so white, so pure, so stylish, so ‘white christmas’ feel… WHY CAN’T THE DVD BE LIKE THIS??? Though I don’t like Takki’s hair in the pamphlet (I prefer his hair in the con itself – my fav Takki!hair!), I still love it for its layout, style, and quality of the images. It’s such a waste that the conDVD cover and packaging were done in such a ‘tacky’ way (no pun intended)……
Erm, since I’m on this, HMV, please correct your listing! I’ve had enuf of TACKY onegai!
It has 100 over pages in it, with postcards which can be detachable at the end of the book. And there’re loads of words in it, Takki talks about a lot of things, and I REALLY wanna know what he said! So… I can either 1) buck up my japanese, or 2) really bug Ling or Ribi or any other kind souls to translate for me? hahahahahahhaa *evil laughter*
see….i told u..it’s pretty yo. sigh. i m still waiting for mine.will akibado forsake me? T_T like how i m forsaken w the china seller…u noe it’s super suay (SS) time urgh.sianz.upset.hv i grown thinner fr all these???*NOPE!!fatter instead urgh.

hmm.. hope u hv a good time facial tmr!! ((= i tink the beautiful takkicon book will cheer u up seriously. and seriously, i rili like takki w tht black silky long hair..it suits him it suits him real time yo…
sorry 4 d 3rd post here..was lingering ard ur takki.us home den i re-read this post again cos d takkicon H keep catching my attention;;…wanna noe these:
1) what’s SHIAWASE?
2) HMV, please correct your listing! I’ve had enuf of TACKY onegai!..what does this line 8 means ?LOL
3) wht conDVD and packaging r u toking bout?
Michelle!!!! u got ur pamph!!!! *HUUGGGGS* haha my fav part of the pamph was where he talked about Junigatsu no Hana. basically just said that he composed it as a gift for his friend’s friends wedding… (speaking of marriage, DID U KNO HIS BROTHER IS MARRIED ALREADY??? i didnt kno that until the day b4 yesterday!)
anywho, Shuduck-sensei~
1) shiawase = happy~
2) i dont really kno, but im guessing HMV is constently mispelling Takki’s name on their site…”TACKY” is absolutely unacceptable. WHERES THE DAMN “E” alksdjf;lakjdsf
3) ??? LOL what…? erm i think mich was talking about her Takkuricon DVD. and how Avex didnt seem to put a lot of time/thought into the design of the DVD cover… it was poorly packaged as well…*keyboard smashes*
sry michelle *huuuugs* didnt mean to try and put words into ur mouth or anything XDD shuduck sensei! maybe u should read closer next time…
haha. i tried but my best wasn’t good enough.=p
1)ok,learn another new foreign word yo.
2)oic.the misspelling of his name issue. but ‘tacky’ this word is cute in its own wway.pple mis-spell my name evry now and then too!
3)oic.the dvd.i find it cute.i m ok with it.poor packaged?why so?
Haha, Michelle, I totally agree with you – everytime I go to HMV to check out the TxT catalogue, I CRINGE when I have to type “tacky & tsubasa” coz “tacky” is a proper ENGLISH word that does not have good connotations! *sigh*
I’ll cry when I find some site one day spelling “Tsubasa” as “Tubasa”. *lol*
I really don’t mind translating but my Japanese is just the pits so you may end up reading something REALLY different from what Takki meant. :p
I think Ling will be a better choice BUT I still will volunteer coz I wanna read what Takki wrote too! *raises hand to volunteer*
Happy for you girl that you got your beloved Takki pamphlet!!! It’s really pretty! ^___^
oh yesssss u bet! ribi, u’ll good enuf 4 d job! 2 thumbs UP! ((=
ling only reads tsu’s stuff yo…XD
shuduck-sensei~ LOL we would find it kinda amusing if they’d only made that mistake a FEW times. but when its ALWAYS MISPELLED…its gets SUPER annoying! and AVEX/mags do that often too! LIKE WTF. theyd b better off just writing Taki.
yes, even for the 1+1=INFINITY photobook! it’s like an official publication desho? dun they check it? or they don’t know what is the meaning of ‘tacky’ in english?? ahh.. so annoying lol~~ yup, TAKI will be much better. even TAKKY. but not TACKY, anything but TACKY!!!!!
and bonnie got it right for all your questions, shuduck. i really thot the cover of the dvd and the packaging itself doesn’t match up to how good the con was (be it the concert itself or the con pamphlet!). of ALL the gorgeous pics, why choose that andalucia pic with a junior on it? and the design is juz.. :( most of us feel that the “HT” logo in gold or black against a white background (like the pamphlet cover) will be PERFECT!
ahhhh… bonnie, i think when takki went on 2base and they talked about the kiseki dvd, tsuba mentioned that takki did the dvd for his brother’s wedding too..?
ribi, i think “tubasa” is still alright? i think i read on ling’s blog before (or someone’s blog) that some ppl actually write shortform of “tsu” as “tu”…
tutu. sounds like d delicious snack (malay) (=
thx miche 4 d $132.57 to ling 1st (= cya on wed.
ya lah. but the dvd itself is cute in its own way.yup,the con pamphlet of d dvd hehe..
which is why takkicon pamph is so beautiful. i think they hv different designers for both! bcos books depends..frm which publishing house..+design..it’s diff frm d dvd design itself..v.obvious yo.
tu-basa sounds abit like to-base. lol.
tutu cake isn’t malay wor. it’s chinese… the malay version is the putu piring or something like that haha.. anyway, no prob. i already transferred the $ :)
Yeah, some baseball star apparently gave a bat to Tsubasa and wrote it as “tu” – could tell that Tsubasa was really amused when he was recounting it on his radio show.. ^^
Actually, I just I am fine with any permutation of his name unless it means something less than flattering of which I will take objection to. My favourite of course, is always Chin Chin Ii. I love his name in Chinese! *lol*
lol~~ juz reminds me of the bucket vs cup thing HAHAHAHA.. fortunately his chinese name saved him a lil~ now we juz end up staring at Julie (for u) and Romeo (for me! hahahahaha)). i need to ask u and ling loads of questions on jap!!! haha… last nite i learnt a lot already, from that 1 miserable page of translation (din know it’s such a tedious process!) but went home and almost forget everything LOL!
Heh, I am SO glad that the cup was not an indication of Tsubasa’s future prowess. *lol*
Sure, I would be glad to let you pick my brain for Japanese though I must always qualify, what I know is minimal since I’m only a basic level graduate so far! :p
I want to read what you have copied out too – wanna know what Takki says! Can you photocopy a copy for me? ^^
ribi~~ altho u are ‘officially’ only at basic level, you are way more qualified for that! all of us feel that way hehehe… i think i’m quite motivated by everyone recently, and the takkicon pamphlet is probably the one starting this whole new desire to learn jap going again~~ coz i really really wanna know what takki said! hahaa… so i was hardworking and copied pages 4 & 5 juz now…. i think there’s about 1 more page left for the interview only (but there’s still loads more words to go — that pamphlet is quite wordy :)… o, i will try to get it copied, or i’ll juz bring it along with me when we meet lol~~ coz i think i really won’t bear to bring out the real thing :)
Ehh…I can have my friend Maiko translate the entire book if ya want. She’ll b finished w/college (hopefully) by the end of this year. This is her last year and she plans (wants) to live here several more years, depending if she can find a full-time job. Anyone got jobs for her in the USA?? She needs to renew her Visa too so she can stay here longer. She said that’s why she needs to find a job…and fast! Otherwise, off she goes back to live in Japan.
=( I’ll dearly miss her if that ever happens. She said foreign aliens who live in the US for schooling have a limited amt. of time here after they graduate from college. If the Visa expires and they haven’t found a job yet, then they get deported back for good. Aaahhh…sooo ‘taihen’ for her, ne?? In a way, I feel for her tho. Let’s all pray she can stay here w/me! Anyway, about your Takkuricon pamphlet, I can ask her to translate for u the pages. You’d have to scan every single page tho for me so she can see. O_O Ehh…I LIKE SEE TOO!!!! LOL O_O Ohh…would it be possible u can scan every page for me from your booklet? Hmm…maybe after this TxTcon, next year, I should ask Bonnie to get me a Takkuricon booklet thru Y!A? What do you think??
miche..copied?u wrote word-by-word? my mac has a dashboard widget that cn do translation..from all types of languages..so if i ever get the takkicon pamph within this yr(lol)i’ll most likely be using this mac translator 2 help me lol.=p quite interesting eh!
yea.it’s intriguing 2 read right? i tink no other storybooks cn captivate us so much.
tutu cake sounds like malay 2 me although sellers are all chinese haa.means i m wrong againT_T…tsk tsk.
and akatsuru is here 2 help u bt…eh…translations w a scanner..hee..i wun risk tht,miche.(= it’s so tedious!
akatsuru..hehe i hv a super hard time finding the book too yo! bon-chan..my gakusei tried/attempted 2 help me too.lol.this ‘incident’..u cn miche..it’s rili such a big concidence..both me n her vying bidding online taiwan auction 4 d book,without realising we both were vying LOL…=p only afeww of us noe tis yea^___^
hehe oh yes..miche! do u feel like a student coping homework @sch again ((= learning process is tough but the end is alwaz rewarding.
lol~ yea i copied it word for word, but it’s actually quite fast if i’m using the right pen and paper… erm, and the reason WHY i copied it word for word is coz i can’t bear to scan my pamphlet!! heart pain even when i flip it!! lol~~~

takkicon pamphlet is so nice ^^
i also dont like this hair style
i like his kamen hair better
feel like i got so much 2 say but completly 4got while i read all d comment @_@” ja ne
lol! thanks, you~~
i also prefer kamen hair.
my fav is kyon hair hehe xD
actuali i prefer the ho!summer hair..hehe.
kyon hair izit abit similar to the Chichi no Umi, Boku no Sora ‘s show hair? cos tht Chichi no Umi, Boku no Sora’s one is nice..the hair..i alwaz like staight hair on takki….hmm bt ho!summer’s nice too..kamen oso..hmm..takkicon’s oso..aiya hard 2 choose..i like All his hairstyles except his teenager’s centre-parting hair *opps….runs off
shuduck~ ho summer hair is that the one he shave his side head? lol i like it2 i think it kindda baka &funny &cute [as always~~
mostly i dont really like long hair guy ^^[i think??
>his teenager’s centre-parting hair
shuduck, kyon hair = kyon hair lor! haha.. i think it’s yumemo era since it’s 2003 (think of yumemo PV hair)~ but i also like hosama hair in the 2u4u DVD off-shots! and solocon hair also! and hikaru/sugao2 hair too! hahahaha… i can’t decide which of these i like more wor! but these are my favourites xD
you, chibi takki’s centre-parting is probably his worst hairstyle hehe.. i generally don’t like centre-parting and too straight hair, and hair that looks flat/rebonded! that’s why i dun like the serenade & izumo con hair haha
[centre-parting and too straight hair, and hair that looks flat/rebonded!]
that exactly what i mean [^^ i dont like it toooo it scare me a little
i think may b i make my comment missin 4m the symbol i use [my prev reply[27] also missin *o*
gotta do my hw seriously now run out of time!!
thanks 4 reply my reply na
lol
c u ja ne^^
hi ~you~!
i dun really like rebonded ‘slim-looking thin hair’ too..but because i can’t stand that hairstyle, i don’t understand why it can look good on takki so it now appeal me hugely. =p but that centre-parting is a big XXL NO! (= but tsu’s teen hair looks ok certainly, in comparison w takki.. hehe.
hmm..miche..quite true..izumo n serenade hair is nt good..but do u like the venus black hair?i thought tht one was nice..abit spikey @top. and kyon hair=kyon hair LOL ^_^ yes. ..yumemo’s hair..hmm reminds me of kamen…why ah.
a, shuduck, i like venus black hair too, a bit spiky at the top but cute! i dun even mind that undercut thing haha.. i think kamen hair is a bit similar to yumemo hair, but more spiky at the top and longer fringe i think, but also pretty haha..
