Arashi are the MC this year at Tokyo Dome. But this year’s Johnnys Countdown was a collaboration from 3 venues – Tokyo Dome, Osaka Dome and Imperial Theatre! They introduced Takki (with ABC-Z, Kis-my-ft2 & Nikki-sempai) first from Imperial :) Kinki Kids were at Osaka Dome, V6 were eating, and TOKIO was somewhere else. Then, the JE groups at Tokyo Dome did a medley, after which is the count down to 2009! It was followed by Kinki Kids’ song. They wished Koichi-kun a happy birthday! They all seem to be having loads of fun at Teikoku too! ^^
Tsubasa then appeared at Tokyo Dome and sang “Mezamero Yasei”, followed by “Made in Japan”. And V6 appeared! TOKIO too, after Subaru and Jin sang the start of “Sorafune”. Wow, the entire Johnnys groups showed up in the end XD
Then it was Takki performing Ai Kakumei live from Teikoku, which I already posted just now! It was such a huge contrast to what’s at the Dome, that this performance really stood out! I love the æ»…æ²¢…驅命… water streams. And everything was so spectacular!! When he started flying, I KYAAAED OUT!! I love the very last part where he glides through the water~ kireii! Nyanco’s right! He doesn’t need to take a bath ne~ he can shower on stage!!
Takki & Nikki-sempai sang a duet~ Kamen something~ and they also were interviewed about what they hope for the new year. Nikki-sempai said it’s all about Takki or something hehe~ :) And the final part of my digest clip is the final song they sang before the broadcast ended. There were small parts of Takki singing, dancing, doing funny actions along to the music! Kawaii XD
That’s all I have for now. We just got to wait for the HQ clips from clubboxes. HAPPY NEW YEAR, MINNA!! MAY 2009 BE A TAKKI-FILLED YEAR!! XD It’s almost 2am now, I’d better go to bed hehe~ Oyasuminasai! XD

Mich….I’m so impressed of Takki’s performance of Aikakumei……his performance really stood out…..and I heard a lot of aahhhhh…….TAKKI RULES!
He totally looks so HANDSOME! I love his hairstyle……
i think this year countdown is amazing! i heard many turned to the countdown from kouhaku… my friends also said that they watched kouhaku first but when the countdown started they tuned in to countdown…^^ and the idea to broadcast it from 3 venues is just cool…
and of course, our tono really stood out! ^^
Thanks for the updates .. !
Takki is so Kawaii there :3
and Happy New Year :)
Mich, thank you so much for posting these up so soon. You are truly the BEST!
The song Nikki & Takki sang was “Kamen Butoukai”(Masquerade) by Shounentai (Nikki, Higashi and Uekusa). It’s their debut song.
In the interview, Nikki said “This year, I’m going to follow Takizawa all the way.” :D It was so nice of him to say that.
BTW, did you notice the voice in the first Ai Kakumei cd CM saying “Takizawa Hideaki, Aki Kakumei” is Takki himself?
What can I say that has not been said before? Superb!
This countdown was one of the best I think. I’m downloading files of it now from various communities. ^^ I loved it!
i’m downloading the 700MB version, but i want the 5GB as well. i need a direct torrent link for the 5GB version because i want to keep it in my virtual host. both of my laptops are ‘sick’, LOL. so i couldn’t download it directly from torrent cache…
And Tsubasa were was?
where was xD
Thanks so much, Shelle, for this clip too. The perfect clip (along w/Takki’s live Ai Kakumei butai clip) for New Year’s. ^_^ XDD
U ROCK! Oh…and b4 I almost forget to say, a very Happy New Year to you and ur family. And may 2009 be a Takki-fulfilled year for u and this site too!! *looking forward to it*
mich, arigato gozaimasu for the download, lets wish takki and everyone in Ai Kakumei a happy and great new year, and best of luck for Kakumei. Thanks again
I downloaded the file from love’s lj…thanks marchlavender.
@acid pink cherry…tsubasa was there…barely…and he looked so lost w/o tackey :(.
The water screen thing is so cool. I was at Disney last year and they use that in a lot of the stage shows and it was awesome. It looks like kakumei is going to be avant-garde. I wish I could see it live.
