Hip hop classes for 4 days in a row…yosh~ I feel fit (but also sore)! haha 😀

My past few days were quite T&T eventful! Well, more like the fangirl in me had the chance to come through and go “KYAA~” quite a few times 😛
1) I went to a Japanese supermarket and saw…

• Zubari Iu Wa Yo! tapes for rent~ (there was also the drama Hana Kimi too! I was shocked they actually had that! But why still tape and not dvd?!)
• the food that Kyon often ate (for the life of me, I can’t remember what it’s called…”hayashi chuu?” something like that?)
• a whole fridge of nattou (which I didn’t dare buy an entire box to try =S)
• no celeb magazines though, only fashion ones 😦

2) I got my Dame Tour, May con goods from Jan, who delivered it literally RIGHT to my doorsteps! In addition to the promised pamphlet, unit poster, and the photo set, she even added in the super kakkoii Tackey poster for me as a bonus!~ THANKS for being so sweet, Jan~ *hugz* (I showed my mom some of the photos and she’s like “Wah! They are topless?!” HAHA ^^)

3) During lecture, my prof showed a picture of a waterfall and my immediate thought? “TAKKI!!!”

4) I was chatting with my friend Winnie about my plan to go to Japan with the “purpose” of finding a Japanese bf next year, and I jokingly said “Ya, I’ll go after Tackey ^^~” Her response was “DO IT!! You never know, Sarah! It is possible that he’ll like you too! You look like a cute Japanese girl and everything! You just gotta stand out from the other fans, that’s all!” And she was quite serious about it too! *LOL* I cracked up so badly, partly because it was SO sadly and ridiculously impossible, and partly because just mere thinking about having Tackey, the Takizawa Hideaki, as my bf, made me giggle to no end~ Ahh, I’m so silly sometimes~

But not to worry, ladies, I at least need to get my Japanese down packed, which will take a while. (Although I must admit, having Takki speak Engrish to me would be quite entertaining *lol*) And of course, I can already foresee all the hate mails flooding my inbox and appearing on every single Takki blog out there if this were to happen…YIKES!

On a different note, next week, I have to do a mini teaching session to my class. I have 10 mins to teach them something…anything. I would totally love to teach them about Johnny’s, but somehow I don’t think that’ll go well. I think I’ll be the only person throughout the 10 mins and afterwards who will be super hyped up and bubbling all over…while the rest of my class will either a) -_-” b) *roll eyes* or c) ZZZzzz. Hm, what topic should I change it to?

Anyway, as promised, I translated some Jr. Takki tidbits from a few of the YES! 1999 issues that I had. These aren’t actual articles, but more like mini random info/gossip kind of thing. Happy reading~

Tackey is most scared to be pursued
Guys pursuing girls is as difficult as crossing a mountain, but girls pursuing guys is as easy as passing through a porous screen? Are guys and girls born to be unequal? To “future idol to 10,000s” “Kimura Takuya’s successor” Takizawa Hideaki, pursuing girls may not be as hard as crossing a mountain. But for girls to pursue him, it is for sure not as easy as passing through a screen, rather it may be as hard as crossing the Fuji or the Himalayas even! Because Tackey fears being pursued the most!

For Tackey who claims to be shy, no matter how cute the girl is or if it was love at first sight, as long as she takes the initiative to show her love, Tackey will immediately lose feelings and call it quits. If there is no way for a girl to go after a guy, then must it be the other way around? Not necessarily. About this, Tackey feels that the best way for a relationship to develop is to first start as friends to get to know and understand each other, and then become a couple.

Tackey’s “technique” of disliking girls pursuing him and of starting a relationship from friendship has a few benefits. It can establish a “won’t-casually-date-around” kind of image, and can also discourage many crazy/obsessed girls from chasing after him. With deep thoughts like this, Tackey seriously has no limits to his future. No wonder the founder of JE, Johnny Kitagawa, loves him so much!

Tackey visits the beauty salon 4 times a week
3 months of 1999 has already past, but if we were to ask what the most memorable event was in the past ~6 months, Takizawa Hideaki would not even need to think to answer that it’s last year’s musical “Mask”, where it was the first time that he played the main role and was responsible for the high ticket sales.

“Mask” is JE’s leading musical. The ones who star in it are the popular idols of the time, such as Shounentai, Okada Junichi (岡田准一) [V6], Inohara Yoshihiko (井ノ原快彦) [V6], Sakamoto Masayuki (坂本昌行) [V6] and Domoto Koichi (堂本光一) [Kinki Kids]. But the aspect of Tackey that stands out over these senpais is of course the fact that he was only 15, breaking Japan’s record for the youngest leading role in a musical. In the 2 months before the musical was performed, besides rehearsing hard everyday, Tackey also secretly went to beauty salons for facials, wanting to show his best to the audience.

How often does Tackey go to the beauty salon? According to spies, he has visited the beauty salon as most as 4 times a week! The 1st time was to dye his hair dark green (??), the 2nd time was to perm his hair. But afterwards, he thought that the hair color and the style wasn’t exactly what he had wanted, so in the next 2 days, he went back to dye his hair black and to cut off the permed hair. In total, he went to the beauty salon 4 times in a week!

Tackey’s weakness
You can’t judge people by their looks. In front of and behind the camera, celebrities could very well have 2 faces and totally different personalities.

The image that Takizawa Hideaki presents is lively, optimistic, strong, confident…basically very brilliant, exactly like a leader. But this Johnny’s Jr’s leader has a weakness; that is, he is scared of loneness. Tackey loves having a large group of people chatting and laughing away. Even if everyone is just joining in for the fun, and Tackey is the only one who is unhappy, as long as everyone is by his side, he won’t notice it. But if there is no one with him, Tackey would feel very lonely, and the feeling would be extremely hard to bear. That’s why during every Johnny’s Jr concert tours, he would alway run to other people’s rooms, preferring to share a bed or even sleep on the ground, he still won’t want to stay in his room by himself and enjoy the comfort.

As people grow up, they need to become independent and can no longer rely on their parents to care for them anymore. Has Tackey thought about moving out one day to experience the joys of living by himself? “If I had to live by myself, I think most of the time I won’t stay at home.” Eh? Having this tendency to stick to home-sweet-home, would his parents feel comforted hearing this? Or regret that they had such a “clingy” son?
