Schedule + Con Photoshoot Report
Seriously, I see this looonnnggg tv + radio + concert schedule list and go 
. How on earth do these 2 boys manage it????? PS: I update their schedule list at the right-hand column in this blog. The fan in me is very happy to see so many activities, dakedo, chou shinpai for them yo. 
yes, I know I have already said this before in 1 of my previous entries. Heh...gomen ne~ I tend to be long-winded. 
Went to Jenn's and read her report on the concert pamphlet photoshoot. I totally melted into a mass of goo
when I read this:
Credits to Jenn.
It's just so touching!
I really teared when I read it. Yes Takki, we love you! 
I love you!! 
This is such a characteristic trait of Takitsuba. For them, the feelings of their fans are always the FIRST, TOP priority. All the effort, sweat, lack of sleep, heart and soul they put into their work is just amazing. They just want the best for their fans. I feel so proud to be their fan, extremely proud. 
I'll not trade places with anyone at all. 
I can't wait to see the concert pamphlets and the off-shot pictures of them playing around!!! I love their playfulness. It just shows how comfortable they are with each other. I won't believe any bad rumours about them because it's totally impossible. How can 2 people fake such a close relationship off-screen? 無理です!!!
PS: I'll be content being a sweeper-lady during the photoshoot.
PSS: TODAY is the day! OSAKA GO! CON
I hope everyone who goes to the concert in a few hours time will have an extremely happy "blind date" with Takitsuba!!!! I know you'll definitely have a great time!!
Takitsuba, gamfammi!!!

Channel @ Making (preview)
I think I just woke my entire neighbourhood up with a 2+ min preview of Channel @ Making of Kamen at about 2AM. 
Actually, it wasn't even 2+ min because there was Channel @'s coverage of the Mask 2 event, including a short trailer of mask 2. 
Channel @ gave a much clearer coverage of the Mask 2 secret event! You can see their dance moves much better!! The audience were practically jumping out of their seats and screaming at the top of their lungs too!! How lucky they are ne~~~
Also, they showed a little of how they shot the fast-rotating black columns scenes. I finally saw the dance moves for Kamen properly!!!
I love THAT move!! And here I go flooding my own post with caps again. At least it's easier this time round because the rotating black beams were slower.
Look at Tsubasa. He is looking sideways with sort of a scowl? And the way he arches his back and places his hand on his hips? To me, this is 1 of his unique styles in his dancing. You can have many people doing the exact same dance. But Tsubasa will somehow manage to stand out from the rest with his own style. Of course Takki's dancing is good too. I definitely love Takki's dancing yo! It's just that Tsubasa has this unique touch to his style.
I love this! Their fingers pointing up in the air and their hand on their waist.
I love this part too, where they have to lift their leg during the 360 degree hand rotation move.
Look at where their hands are!!! *drools an ocean*
There is this instance where they just pause and stand there after the hand rotation move while the black rotating columns move around them. A kakkoii standing pose!!!
And after the pause, they will do this hand motion, stick out their leg and flick their head backwards! Snuffles, I think this is THAT head-flick you were talking about. THAT last pose which killed you at Mask 2 cafe. Oh yea, it definitely killed me too.
Ok, I LOVE KAMEN period.
For Channel @, Takitsuba plays JENGA this time!!! Takki was so stunned by Tsubasa's reaction to 1 of the questions!
Takki: "What kind of song is Kamen?"
Tsubasa: "Good song"
Tsubasa answered the question so nonchantly and just proceeded to place his block onto the stack after answering!!! Takki was so shocked by Tsubasa's answer that he almost spitted out and fell onto the floor!! Kyahhh!!! These 2 baka boys!! What other questions are they going to answer?? I cannot wait to watch the whole clip!!!

(Editted 050426 @ 3AM)
Yohistsune Episode 16 achieved a rating of 19.9%. This is a drop from last week. Taiga drama viewers do not like to watch love plot kana? I think the majority of them prefer historical milestones, unlike me.
+ ONE + + TWO + + THREE + + FOUR +
(Editted @ 4AM)
SPOILERS AHEAD
Ok, couldn't resist it. Had to post a quick summary of today's episode. Must be because I just watched the repeat. And I have no idea why, but I am still feeling genki. But u know what? I bet I will be a zombie at work in a few hours time. 
Finally!!!! The love story between Yoshitsune and Shizuka has progressed!!!!
OMG!!!! *loracyn runs around room crazily in circles like a headless chicken* Okok, I better calm myself down and start from the beginning of the episode. 
Yoshitsune and Shizuka are walking along a path in the woods. Yoshitsune is walking slightly ahead but always looking out for Shizuka as she is still limping around with the help of a walking stick. But he cannot hold and help her walk better because it is not proper for him to do that. And then we see Masako spying on them. *Ebil ebil Masako* She is jealous of Yoshitsune and Shizuka. She can see that they like each other and are jealous of their pure relationship and their happy times together.
*kicks ebil Masako away*
Kichiji comes to Yoshitsune's house and visits everyone. He talks about Kyoto. Kyoto is in a state of confusion as the capital has been moved to Fukuhara. Tairano Munemori (1 of Kiyomori's sons), goes to visit the ex-emperor Goshirakawa. Hearing about Kyoto's messy situtation, Goshirakawa pleads with Munemori to let him return to Kyoto. Munemori goes back to report to Kiyomori. Although Kiyomori turns down Munemori’s request, he himself decides to return to Kyoto as he realizes other members of the Heike clan also wish for their return. All his sons have plead with him to return to Kyoto. In Kamakura, Yoshitsune hears about this. He feels sympathetic towards Kiyomori and understands his sadness and loneliness for not being able to be understood by his own family members.
Yoshitsune is in the woods picking flowers. (for Shizuka perhaps?
) He sees a flustered Masako looking around for something/someone. He follows her and sees a shocking scene. He sees Yoritomo with Kamenomae (his lover) talking away happily in this house. He saw that Masako is seeing this too. Masako is very angry and upset. She runs away crying. She bumps into Yoshitsune and both are arkward because they know what both of them have just seen. Yoshitsune gives Masako the flower that he has just picked and tries to comfort her. masako is somewhat touched by his words and actions. But Yoshitsune still feels very bad and apologises to her. Ehhhh???!!! Nani wo???? Yoshitsune, you do not need to apologise to Masako for your brother's sleezy actions yo!!!
Then, we see Kisanta and the others helping this lady. All of them are covered with soot from head to toe. They have just helped to rescue this lady from a fire. Her house was burnt down and she was trapped inside. Yoshitsune takes a proper look at the lady and to his shock, he realises that it is Kamenomae! This incident allowed Yoshitsune to witness Masako being jealous when she found out about the relationship between Yoritomo and Kamenomae. Yoritomo is furious with Masako and storms out of the house. He goes to see the burnt wreckage and is upset. In the meantime, Yoshitsune and Shizuka help to care for Kamenomae. Yoshitsune-sama, do not get caught in this complication situation yo!!!! Masako is an EBIL EBIL woman!!!! You'll never know what she is plotting behind your back!!!!
Yoshitsune is restless as the day for Shizuka’s departure for Kyoto draws near. At night, Yoshitsune and Shizuka play the flute together. Shizuka brings up the topic of her having to leave soon as her leg is almost healed. The incident of Yoritomo, Kamenomae and Masako inspires Yoshitsune to reveal his own feelings towards Shizuka and to confirm her feelings towards him. Yoshitsune asks her where she wants to be, to return to Kyoto or to stay here. OMG! I kyahhhed at his part!!!! It was like a totally direct declaration of his love for her!!!!!!!!!!!
Then, it gets even better. Yoshitsune told Shizuka that he does not want her to leave!!! *loracyn screams even more and goes totally nuts, so much so that she is still too genki now at 4AM to sleep and she needs to wake up at 7AM for work* 
Yoshitsune wants Shizuka to stay!!!! But Shizuka is very sad. She does not want to leave and says that she wishes that her leg will not heal. But she has to return to Kyoto because her mother is there. Yoshitsune is very sad too. He was close to tears and his expression!!! OMG!!! It's not just his frowny eyebrows!!! I totally feel you Takki!!!! Your acting skills as Yoshitsune!!!! Super duper excellent!!! Oscar-award winning!!!!! Yoshitsune pulls Shizuka towards him and hugs her!!!!!! *gasps* And at that moment, the candle light gets extinguished. (NHK has this thing for dramatic effects. ) So both of them are hugging in darkness! *flatline*
Masako and Hojo Tokimasa (Masako's father) urge Yoritomo to turn Yoshitsune away from his side. *ebil ebil Masako* This is the the start of her planting the seeds of discord between the 2 brothers which will lead to the last episode of Yoshitsune which every Takki fan in the world hates!!!! *whacks Masako* What on earth is her problem?! Yoshitsune did not do anything wrong to her or harm her in any way at all!!! In fact, Yoshitsune respects her as his sister-in-law and even comforted her!!! Urgh..... Stupid woman.... Initially, Yoritomo wanted Yoshitsune to go to fight this battle, or to stay behind (I'm not sure which) but after Masako and her father's urging, Yoritomo's decision swayed. He changed his mind which shocked everyone. And Masako was smiling happily away that she achieved what she wanted and that she managed to influenced Yoritomo's decision. *whacks indecisive Yoritomo* Even Yoshitsune himself was shocked and upset when Yoritomo announced his decision in front of everyone. But Yoshitsune accepted his task readily and firmly. See???? Even his younger brother is more decisive and firm than him!!!!!! When Benkei and the other followers of Yoshitsune found out about Yoritomo's decision, they were upset too. However, Yoshitsune managed to calm them down and won their favour over. As Benkei and the rest will stand by Yoshitsune no matter what happens, they too accept Yoshitsune decision readily. Shizuka is seen overhearing this scene and is glad for Yoshitsune.
