Omigosh!!!! Tsubasa revealed on yesterday's FM Yokohama that Takitsuba are going to have a concert tour in Feburary and March next year (2007)!!! They will have 28 concerts in 12 venues!!!!

Labels: concert, news, schedule

Both of them looked so genki and their tension was really high! Takitsuba were the first to perform so their intro talk with Tamori-san was quite short. But they were joking and kidding around on national tv! ^_^

Both wore black suits. Takki had a silver pirate brooch on his suit though. Their performance was a medley of Venus chorus, then Ho Samaa chorus and then Kakko Tsukanai Tonight. Could hear that Tsukanai was sang live. They were smiling at each other many times throughout the medley! ^_^ They were standing and facing each other, grinning away during the first 2 lines of Tsukanai. LOL. Then I think Tsubasa kinda forgot to do the first furisake move? Then he kinda grinned sheepishly. lol. But basically, their tension was really quite high and they were really smiling alot throughout the performance, especially to each other. ^_^

All 3 songs had furisake. Minna, we have to start learning the furisake moves for Kakko Tsukanai Tonight! It looks pretty ok after watching the MS clip for a few times. They are mainly hand movements and I think the signature move is a closed-up-V sign.

I'm so glad that they looked so happy throughout! Hope they will be as happy or happier in every other performance! ^_^

Having a real-time email chat session with Snuffles now as she listens to ToBase. lol. She says Tsubasa asked Takki to guest on ToBase next week again and Takki said ok! So, Takki will be on ToBase next week (16th Nov) too! Tsubasa also played abit of Kakko Tsukanai Tonight.

Loads of media updates yesterday!

In addition to what I posted before,

12th Nov: Takitsuba will be on Nack 5.
12th Nov: Tsubasa will be on FM Yokohama.

13th Nov - 17th Nov: Tsubasa will be on FM Yokohama's "Morning Steps" talking about the Yokohama Baystars. Wow, he's really a huge fan of the Baystars ne! Of course, he will be promoting [Two You Four You] on the broadcast on the 14th too.

14th Nov: Takitsuba will be on Nippon Broadcast
14th Nov: Takitsuba new album [Two You Four You] event!

16th Nov: Channel @ will be featuring Takitsuba. Maybe they will be showing clips from the album event on 14th Nov, like how they showed clips from the Ho! Samaa event?

20th Nov: Tsubasa will be on Sekai Marumie again

I think the most exciting news is the album event on 14th Nov. Source is from J-Net. Not sure of the location yet except that it's in Tokyo. Unfortunately, 14th Nov is on a Tuesday. I doubt Snuffles will be able to make it...but wonder if she might try to go for it? (sends telepathic waves all the way to Japan)

Also, the ending song for Zubari is now "Sayonara no Mukou". And there is apparently a 60 sec promo clip for the new album showing on the giant screens in Japan? Snuffles!!!! Have you seen it yet???

Hontou ni bikurishimashita!!!!!!! Takitsuba's official webpage at Avex has changed an entire new look!!!!! And that's not the most shocking/exciting thing about it.

They have actually put up sample previews of ALL FIFTEEN tracks of [Two You Four You] for us to hear!!!!

ALL FIFTEEEN tracks

Well, all except for "Kakko Tsukanai Tonight", but we have all already heard it from ToBase desho? I totally freaked out in front of my comp when I saw all the tracks up for preview listening!!!! Ok, I must warn everyone that it's only 14 secs per track though. But still!!! I was/am still very excited about it!!! I think this is one of the best, if not, the best thing that Avex has ever done for Takitsuba, well, at least for webpage wise. Yes, I'm a very whiny and picky fan.

Listening to the tracks I have not heard before yet on repeat mode, like "Natsu no Kaze", "Mermaid", "Hey! Listen to the Music" and "Sayonara no Mukou" repeatedly and I like the sound of them so far!!!!! So far, I especially like "Natsu no Kaze" and "Sayonara no Mukou". Was curious about how "Venus ~ Eurobeat Remix" sounds like and yappari..... it's really a song where you can dance the parapara dance to yo... It's...really so typical of the songs for dancing the parapara dance!!!! I can totally imagine it in my head!! And ano.... the "Yume Monogatari ~ Christmas Version" sounds.... pretty similar to the single version that we have? It sounds kinda similar to me...can't really hear/feel a Christmas sound to it, thou perhaps cos it's only 14 secs?

But I REALLY LOVE THE ALBUM already!!!!! And even though I already know how "Black Butterfly" and "12gatsu no Hana" sound like, now I can hear them so much more clearly!!!! Kyah!!!! How many more days to wait for the album to arrive?!!! Can't wait any longer!!! I wana hear the full versions of the tracks!!!!

THANK U, THANK U, THANK U SO MUCH AVEX!!!!!!!
(Please forgive us fans for being so ever whiny, complaining non-stop, being so wagamama! Please continue your excellent work for Takitsuba!!! Onegaishimasu!!!!)

PS: The sample tracks are at the "Discography" section.

Been listening to Crazy Rainbow. Think it's really suited to be an anime song cos it's catchy, esp the chorus. "Crazy crazy rainbow star! Twinkle twinkle rainbow star!" Went to youtube and watched the opening video of "One Piece". Hope I didn't make any/many mistakes in the lyrics.

[Crazy Rainbow]

Kobaruto buruu ni ukabeta kumo ga
Michi ni mayotta asu o nurashita
Tasogare no mae ni waraeba ii dake sa
Negai nara chiisana mune no naka
Kibou de jumon o
Kakereba...
Crazy Crazy Rainbow Star!!
Twinkle Twinkle Rainbow Star!!
Kasoku shita yokan
Nanairo no onpukana de
Crazy Crazy Rainbow Star!!
Issho ni konai ka?
Bokura da tenshi
Yume ni ya o hanatsu no sa
(Crazy Crazy Rainbow Star!!)
(I'm a Crazy Rainbow Star!!)
Crazy Crazy Rainbow Star!!
Twinkle Twinkle Rainbow Star!!
Kobaruto buruu ni
Naniiro o kasanete ikou?
Crazy Crazy Rainbow Star!!
Twinkle Twinkle Rainbow Star!!
Hitomi ni utsutta kanashii riaru o kowase
Nukumori tsuki no hane o ageyou
Shuuru na datenshi
Kokoro kara utau no sa

Not that I don't like Mirai Koukai, but I think I like Crazy Rainbow better. And the song is getting stuck in my head.
