1) Con goods pictures! as posted on from y!a & twitpic.
Uchiwa (front & back)
– Takki looks so good!!! XD
Muffler towel
Original photosets (Takki, T&T)
Sorry there aren’t detailed images of the photos as yet. The t-shirt is red color, and has similar logo on it, like the muffler. And so far I haven’t seen pics of the poster, but I think it’s similar to the unit photo (of the photoset) above.
2) The “Special CD” (Nagoya Version)
– details of the backstage tour and more below
3) Unofficial photos (shhhhh… but I love that first pic!!)
4) And finally, here are the tidbits from the first show in Nagoya (10/10)!
During the Toremoro (Tremolo) performance, Takki accidentally started singing in the middle of the interlude. He realized his mistake immediately and stopped. When the interlude ended, Takki sang his part without any mistakes. But as soon as the song ended, he hung his head down (like he was disappointed in himself for making a mistake even though everything went perfectly during rehearsals).
However, when the next song “Arigatou†began playing, the music suddenly stopped. Apparently, the guitarist Nakaegawa had forgotten to switch guitars. This made Takki really happy and he said “Thank you, Nakaegawa! It wasn’t only me (who messed up)~†lol
During the MC, Takki talked about Taki CHANnel. He said that they have been receiving a lot of emails from international fans. There were also a lot of people who tuned in the week they did the Mis-Snow-Man dokkiri episode. But since then, MSM have been checking for hidden cameras every time they enter their dressing rooms. Takki reassured them that he does not like to do the same things twice, so they don’t have to worry about any more pranks in the near future.
Takki also talked about an experience he had in Nagoya recently. “Previously, when I went into a convenience store early in the morning, a female high school student said to me ‘You look a lot like Takki!’†LOL
After the show, the fans who won backstage passes were allowed to enter the arena and the staff led them through a hidden passage beneath the hanamichi. There, was a space for Takki to do quick costume changes. There were many costumes that were hung up and also a mini electric fan. From that area, they were lead onto the main stage. One of the fans said that even though it doesn’t seem like it, you can really see the audience and their faces from the stage!
Next, they were seated at one of the center blocks for a mini MC. After that, they were invited to go up on stage in groups of 10 and they got on one of the large lifters with T&T. One fangirl said that the young girl next to her was kind of scared about how high up they were. When she said “It’s going to be ok,” to the young girl, Takki perhaps overheard and kindly asked her “Are you okay?”
When they reached the top, they were able to take a picture with T&T. A girl who got to sit next to Takki said “Takki, you smell really good†and Takki replied “Ehhh~~? Really!?†lol The whole backstage tour ended with a handshake. One girl said that although she only extended her right hand out, Takki (as he usually does) held her hand with both of his and gave her a very sincere handshake.
Also, on a side note for those who get to go, it seems like at the bottom of the backstage pass, there is a place where you have to write down your name, Japanese address, and Japanese telephone number. You will NOT get the pictures immediately after the backstage tour because they will instead be mailed out to those addresses on another day.
Although not everyone won backstage tickets, there were some people who found handwritten and signed messages from T&T inside their special CDs! It seems like there are only 10 of these per venue. This was announced during the MC and Takki said “We worked really hard to write them all yo!” LOL
I also love the last one at the bottom right of that first row.
It seems one got repaid for standing in line….And it is good they broke up the groups.
I am afraid of heights, but I think that on the lifter, I would just stare at Takki and forget the surroundings! Lol.
Thank you mich and bon,
I really envy those 50 girls, really lucky ne.
And if I were the girl at conveneince store and know later that he is real Takki, I think I may get crazy, that might be one chance in her life and she choose to tell Takki that he look like Takki.
Thanks a lot for sharing, Mich!!
I like Takki’s face in uchiwa XDDD.. Like an angel (and he is..)…haha~
And also like the first pic.. ;D
So lucky for they who won the backstage ticket..can so close with Takki..kyaaaa~ and if I won that ticket I absolutely can’t look for the other way..and just staring at Takki..XD (like simone said) and keep that moment in my memory..haha..
Ahh..thanks a lot to Bon too.. (Gomen ne~ I forget to mention >.<)
PUI..yes!! And maybe know that female student is regretting and want to turn back the time..
Mich and Bon-chan,
Thank you very much for this post!
I really like Takki’s photo on the uchiwa, too. All his ‘unofficial’ photos also look great!
He is simply so handsome! ^_^
Thank you, Mich and Bon. I’ve been waiting for reports of their concert. Too bad I won’t be able to watch it. (I’m gearing up for Takki’s butai in January.)
Ohhh… i’m so touched about the handwritten notes part. It is so sweet, and so T&T-rashii. Love them! =333
Just want to say gomen to Bon-chan & Mich for not thanking you! Forgot my manners with the excitment of those pictures!
and just put in a typo: should be excitement…Lol
simone~ lol, no worries ^ ^ and i would be doing the same thing too, although i’m not that afraid of heights hehe… but with takki in front of you, there’s nothing to fear.
PUI~ yah, that incident at the conbini was so funny! she perhaps didn’t expect THE takizawa hideaki to be buying stuff at a conbini haha…
amy~ ya, if we were to go backstage, our eyes would be fixed on takki and no one else, ne!! i can assure you, if he looks into your eyes, you’d be ‘electrified’ by him~ and it’s like everything in the surrounding (including your mind lol) will go blank lol
marie~ *agrees* ^ ^ i might buy the uchiwa just because of that pic!
ghanima8~ me also gearing up for takki’s butai in jan!! i hope we can meet again then~ and i hope there will at least be a pamphlet!
snuffles~ yeah, that really came as a surprise. really envious of the lucky fans who got the backstage passes and special messages.
OMG WHATS GOING ON?? haha
i admit.. i havent been keeping up with tackey and tsubasa stuff for the past year or so cause of school and everything.. but i hope you two still remember me?! :D lol.
