I think it’s okay to have weird entries once in a while…
First, the mystery of the black strap!
Takki has been wearing this black strap thing during concerts, which goes diagonal across his body and under his left arm. He first wore it during Kuricon last year, and I commented how I loved it coz I thought it looked cool. But I never knew that there might be a more practical reason for that… not until like 10 minutes ago when I was flipping through my precious photo album… This is the black strap I’m talking about, in case you didn’t read my concert report:
I might be wrong, but I think this is what the strap is about:
(Gomen~ my hand is not the steadiest~ ^^)
Sou sou, I think it’s to hold the audio box thingie, where they adjust the sound levels of the mics, ear pieces, etc? I think Takki used to have it on his belt behind – saw him adjusting it during Takkuricon. But this time, it’s strapped to his back. It’s probably more secure this way so he can do his *star jumps* and whatnots without interference? kekekeke… Just my 2 cents worth (though I’m always slow, so everyone else might have already known about this lol~)
Second, the pink polo t-shirt with black buttons
This was sent to me by Juliet (JuXiaoTian) – arigato! Matsumoto Jun and Takki wore similar-looking polo tees during magazine photoshoots. Takki’s was for the recent Potato magazine (the issue where there seem to be problems with the printer!! coz the boys turned out looking ghostly!) Were they both given the same shirt by the staff? Did they buy the same shirt together? Did they borrow someone’s for the photoshoot? Lol~
Oh, and this is off-topic, but MatsuJun was on last night’s Zubari, just in one of the VTRs ^^ I found the guest so familiar but I just couldn’t recall where I saw him from, until they showed the VTR of the dramas he acted in (DragonZakura, Hana Yori Dangos) *lol* In that short VTR, there were 4 people “linked” to our boy: Pi, Masami-san, Hasekyoko & Jun :) And back to the guest, he owns many ramen shops in Japan. And… uwaahhh~ the ramen looks soooooo delicious!!! I’m already so in a ramen mood these days, and they have to show me such oishii-looking ramen, with oishii-looking golden eggs *drools*
Off topic again *gomen* but the full [SAMURAI] was played on ToBase 28/6! Thanks, Dorothy! There are additional echoey effects in the verses, and there’s a second verse now (compared to the concert version). OMG, I love the beat!! I think it’ll be a bang listening to the CD!! Me wanna see the PVs – Takitsuba in yukatas? ^^ Eh.. did Tsubasa mention Takki… and jumping shoes?? ^^ *yawns* Gosh, it’s 1am already, I’ll listen to the rest of the recording tomorrow! *Off to bed*
michhhhhh *hearts*
i dunno, its still so weird to me! lol when T&T started using those different earphones…now he just looks like he has two marshmellows stuffed in his ears XD i miss his old earphones~~ hasnt he been using the same ones since the Hatachi days?
anyways, thanks for the report *huuugs* UGH matsujun…i was never really fond of him (or his face XD). the “Takki v.s. Matsujun” pic u have up there doesnt do him justice either *LOL*
Wowww…….arigatou ne Michelle!!!!!!
Takki’s strap does seem like it would be more comfortable to wear the micpack on than his jeans..hopefully that’s not a plastic strap, or I would think it’d be more uncomfortable -_-’ Oh! and he might wear it on the strap because when the micpack’s on his jeans, the sound knob etc. might get moved by accident, so he’d have to keep adjusting it. I didn’t make the connection either until you pointed it out heh ^_^; you’re not the last one to notice that…
I think I know why they switched earphones, it’s because when you have more space covering your ear, you can hear the music and yourself better (I have “marshmallow” earphones for my mp3 player and it blocks out like 95% of the sound around you, except you can hear yourself singing and breathing, too, sort of like when you have water in your ears, but it’s not that bad)but it seems as if Takki’s aren’t staying in his ears very well…
Thanks Michelle!! ^.^
LOL about the same shirts XD I like both boys, and I think they both look good in pink…maybe the new fad over there is pink polo shirts ;)
LOL, i LOVE interesting entries like these!! XD
and your little arrow pointing on the pics are so cute!
wow, it really looks like the EXACT same shirt they have on! but of course, Takki sports it sooo much better ^.~
and I agree with Bon-chan…the new earphones really do look like 2 huge marshmallows…=.=
ahh! that’s what it’s for *o*
but that armstrap looks so uncomfortable cuz it goes right under his armpit ~haha
but somehow looks kakkoi too ne ^^
[i first thought it just another (strange..) accessory~-_-" ^^" cuz like he once wear that arm golden/silver thingie.. haha may b he like to hv some thing on his arm?]
hv u ever watch Momo? kimi wa petto
i read the manga of this drama [love it]
and i just watch the drama recently
and i love this drama too not bcuz matsumoto jun ne ^^”
[i didnt watch it b4 cuz im scared of matsumoto jun haha[gomen to his fanT_T but i really do]
anyway he must b a good actor cuz i still love the drama even though i dont like him ^^
and sumire chan is pretty ^-^
talk about matsumoto jun remind me of this ^^
bonnie~~ *hugs* lol~~ those marshmellows are huuuuge!! when’s the enbujou list coming out? it’s only 4 days to the opening and it’s still not posted up rite? hmm, anyway i used to dislike matsujun too, until HYD2 i think, when my opinion of him changed hehe.. i think i’ve watched quite a no. of his dramas already lol~
sarah ann~ thanks, and oh, my earphones are like this too, blocks out most of the sound (so much so that ppl stare at me alot when i walk down the stairs coz i never knew my heels were making THAT much noise!!) ^^
skammie~ lol~ it’s so hard to control the photoshop brush using the mouse! haaaa.. and ya, i think takki is more of a pink person than jun :)
you-chan~ i watched kimi wa petto! i think matsujun looks quite good in that show (compared to the other shows lol~) but the theme is weird on its own~ having a human as a pet? *scratches head* and the actress who acts as sumire-chan? she also acted with takki in antique (and i think her name is “momo” in the show!) hehe…
ah i noticed the thing about the mic before ^^ i found it cool too ^^ the first time i noticed it i wondered what it was and compared with Tsubasa outfit but then i thought it was for the mic. i think he’s the only one to wear his mic like that ^^ it’s a special Takki thing ^^
in the Johnny’s world it’s really common to see two boys wearing the same t-shirts in different shootings ^^ they have clothes for the shooting and i think every mag has its own clothes selection so if guys have same tastes they’ll end on wearing the same t-shirts ^^ it’s funny to notice that ^^
So that what it’s for. TO hold the mic then. I thought he is just being open about being SDM *lol*
SDM!!!! LOL~~ :)
haaaa… ah, mabo, you noticed it too! Hehe~ i realised i still haven’t thanked you for the SEXY CAT + ALIEN gakibara episode!! ARIGATO!! *pats romeo*
