Takki Tidbits

1) The first batch of Takizawa Kabuki 2012 stage photos were released today (14th April). There are 9 photosets in all, out of which 5 are Takki’s. There are 4 photos in each set.

2) Even though Takki is no longer a regular in the 5 Johnnys monthly magazines, he appeared in the May 2012 issues of Potato and Wink Up. Bon-chan & I were at a magazine shop in Ikebukuro station last week flipping the mags and we kyaaed when we saw Tono’s pages lol. If I remember correctly, there are only 2 pages in each magazine (not including the Taki-Channel essay in Potato), and both were interviews on Takizawa Kabuki.

Ah, here are preview pics from Y!A (Potato followed by Wink Up):

 

3) Still on magazines, I might have missed this one out previously, but there is a Takki interview on Takizawa Kabuki in the May 2012 issue of Look at Star (released on 27th March). He’s not on the cover though, unlike for Best Stage.

4) If you haven’t already seen it, the current episode on Taki-Channel is on both the Marching J event at Tokyo Dome on 11th March, as well as the Johnnys Baseball Tournament – also at Tokyo Dome – on 18th March. It has the best coverage so far of the event – in my opinion. It also has backstage footage of Tono! Of course, Tono was chou kakkoii as batter, and especially so when he flung off his coat before the ‘fight’ :)

5) This tournament will be aired on TV, on 3rd May 2012, from 5.30 to 7.30pm. But apparently it’ll be shown only FujiTV ONE (paid channel, not the usual Fuji TV). Sigh… mitai na!!!
