word of caution: this posting would be quite long.. but i do hope to share with everyone here.. please do bear with me.. thank youacknowledgement:masako chan: thank you very much for everything.. though i only arrive in japan yesterday afternoon.. but i had received a lot of help from you already. ほとに ありがとうございます。shin chan, paige and amy from sata smap site: thank you for all the information you have given me.. it really helps.. though there was a renovation at the Shinjuku station and there was no line outside Studio Alta, the path become a bit difficult.. but i still manage to find my way withthe infomation.to all the others who know about my trip.. thanks for all the luck and concerns... and what follows is what i promise if i have an encounter...18/10/2002, FridayReached Studio Alta at around 9.16am (there was a digital clock at the building) and was looking everywhere for a line to get in for the cancel-waiting ticket. There wasn't a line anywhere in sight.. but can see the waratte iitomo reception in the building, behind the security. so stand near the road and waited. around 9.40am.. the security allow people to go to the waratte iitomo reception. i follow suit and (thanxs to paige info) i got the ticket and i am the 3rd person in the queue. as they asked me to come back around 10.25am. i do have more than half an hour to have my breakfast and go to the restroom (had travelled for about 2 hours to reach shinjuku from the place i stay, and had think of nothing but to get the ticket)went back at 10.25am.. saw a queue in the building, quite a crowd. those peoplewere with tickets.. was holding onto my cancel-waiting ticket and feltlikei aman odd one out in the mist of peopleas everyonewere wearing jackets and iwas wearing a short sleeve t-shirt with a jacket hung at my bag.. then suddenly there wasa stir.. Tamori san had arrived and walked past me... he look actually like the person on tv.. 10.30am.. i was called to wait at the stairs.. since i am the third person to get the ticket.. i was quite near to the ground.. and i could see Tsuyoshi if he walk in the same way like Tamori.. but time passes.. 11 am.. i think Tsuyoshi would have gone by the back door.. so i look down and started counting the number of people waiting for cancel tickets.. there was 16 of us.. all japanese except for me.. a singaporean..11.15am.. the person in charge come to us.. i was holding my ticket tightly.. hoping that i would be able to go in to the studio.. and the good news came.. all 16 of us can go in.. there will not be any draw lots..which meansi can get to see Tsuyoshi in Waratte Iitomo?!!??? i was so happy that i forget to give the person-in-charge my passport.. and when i recover.. my hands was like shaking when i show him my passport.. (think i am the only foreigner in the audience)ran up the stairs to 5th floor and waited.. around 11.30am.. there was anotherstir and i had to move down 2 floors.. until 11.50am then i was admitted to the studio on the 7th floor (deen felt tired on climbing the stairs.. even though i had not been doing much exercise.. must be the thought of seeing tsuyoshi, but so was tired after the recording) was seated on the last row of iitomo on the left side facing the stage and third person from the center..Tsuyoshi in person was great.. though this is not the first time i am seeing him.. but it's my first time of seeing him so near.. (there was 10 rows before me.. before was like 20 rows before me..) i finally have a chance to really study him.. my apologies.. recently been reading up for my trip and other personal committments.. i deen really have the chance to look at Tsuyoshi dyed hair.. it was perfectly done.. highlighted.. he made a chonan kan hand signals and all of us are clapping loudly.. he was all smiles.. and wore a black long sleeve t-shirt with checked pants and a pair of close to white shoes.. but once we go into commerical break.. i can see the tireness on his face, very different when he is on air.. he must have rush from fukuoka to do the live show and had to rush back for tonight concert.. (do take care hoh, Tsuyoshi.. there is still 2 weeks of concert on friday.. )paige.. actually i was thinking of your courage all the while in the studio.. though i am admiring Tsuyoshi most of the time.. and waved like hell when he looked up but i don't dare to shout his name.. not even once.. luckily he did catch one of my waves and acknowlegde it by looking in my direction and wave back.. there was a game when the group of host including Tsuyoshi have to rotate to give hintsfor the others to guess.. (i deen have much iitomo experience so no idea of what game, but find it funny as Tsuyoshi Kusanagi is one of the questions)the game started juz after a commerical.. Tsuyoshi was the first to give hint.. but whenever the person is giving hint.. he/she had to wear a cute hair band that look like an alien with 2 antena and a butterfly at the end of antena. Tsuyoshi was so shy when holding the hair band.. and he oni wore it like 3 secs before the commerical end.. and when he wore it.. he look down on the ground.. like a shy bride.. i will never forget that expression.. but once into game.. hewas very serious..12pm.. the live recording stops but we still have to stay inthe studio as they will continue to record til 1.30pm (according to the ticket).. juz before the live show end.. therewas a foreigner singer.. by the name of Jade.. promoting her 3rd album, Sweetbox (i already disconnected from west side.. so totally no idea ofwho is she).. She wasgiven the chance to performa song live in front of us.. Tsuyoshi and the rest was standing at one side listening to the singer..Tsuyoshi actually danced with the song..quite avariety of actions from him.. (how did i know it.. cos my attention is on him).. he sometimes shake his body according to beat,clapped and move hisbody together,etc.. a lot of actions.. the one i can remember best is he juz oni move his feet..sort ofa stepping actions..but look like he is playing with his feet..thentherewas a performance by 2 guest.. they kepttalking a fast speed in japanese.. icouldn't even understand5 percent.. but i thinktheir performance really turn on the studio on as the audience and the hostswere laughing loudly at the jokes.. even Tsuyoshi.. he did laugh til he bent down holding his stomach.. i find thathe look much better than juz now.. tireness seemsgone from his face..the last section of the recording was thatthe people in the game have to find a suitable japanese phase for a foreign phase.. eg of the foreign phase is bulldog.. Tsuyoshi was so serious..though he oni have 2 answersout of the 4 questions.. butthe expression on his face when he is thinking of the answer was really serious.. whenever his hand was on the paper writing the answer.. i shouted (in my heart)"Gambatte ne, Tsuyoshi. You can do it", but there was a few times that he seem writing but nothing on the paper.. andwhenever he displayed his answer.. i clapped loudly to show support.. actually on this i also want to bring out how he hold his marker, stretch book and the marker cover.. for a normal person.. he/she would hold the marker cover together with the stretch book.. and use the marker to write on the book.. but Tsuyoshi is real special.. he hold the marker and marker cover on the same hand.. first 3 fingers holding the marker to write.. and in between the last 2 fingers, he hold the marker cover.. it look so natural on him.. (i am not sure whether Tsuyoshi had did this before or anyone had posted before.. but this is really the first time i study him...).. at 1.40pm.. the recording stops.. and the hosts were leaving.. i keep trying to find my courage to shout his name.. but i nothing come out of my mouth and i see him walked out of the studio... with that.. it marked the end of my encounter with Tsuyoshi. I would be trying again on Tuesday for Nakai.. hope i have the same luck again... (which i think is difficult as Tuesday are famous for least cancelled tickets and with most ppl waiting for cancelled tickets)on my way back.. i saw takuya's superfire advertisement postersat the station and in the train.. as my train is approaching.. i purposedly miss that train and waited it to leave so i can take photoof the poster before i catch the next train.. forthe posterin the train,i was likeat one end of the train and the poster is at the other end.. actually i had taken a photo of it from my seat yesterday.. but it was quite far away and i am with my luggage.. today i am juz with my backpack.. so i muster my courage, and when my train station approaches.. i walked all the way to the front of the poster, took a photo (hope it turn out well)and walked out of the cabin.. i should have this kind of courage during iitomo.. then i would have shoutedfor Tsuyoshi...it's the first time i wrote such a super long message.. if i can catch Nakai either in studio or outside at the building.. would surelypost again.. this surely mark a good start for my smap concerttrip and myplansofcatching smap in person.. hope i can be lucky on the other days..PS: won't be going to Fukuoka concert.. though masako chan did mentioned i can go there with my JR Pass and i do have friends catchingfukuoka concerts whom i can join.. but i would still be catching a concert tomorrow..but Tackey and Tsubasa.. if anyone interested..let me know.. iwill try to post some afterthought..

thanxs takuye, joycec and takuyee.. i do hope to post more on my encounter and will do that.. and joycec.. tsuyoshi isn't that thin.. quite okie...

btw, i had a great tackey and tsubasa concert tonight.. it was 3 hr 15 mins long.. i was expecting like it would be a 2 hour concert oni.. end up i had to rush for my train after the concert...

and guess what i saw in concert tonight.. they actually use the same chairs which smap used last year for the song "sege no mikata".. i didn't notice the chairs at first, but was looking at Tackey and Tsubasa dressing up as a doctor and a nurse.. then suddenly the intro of the song started and they did the same start sequence as smap (not tackey or tsubasa.. but the juniors).. i was like jumping at my seat.. (i was quite still at my seat most of the time) then i noticed the color of the chairs.. blue, red, pink, yellow and green.. and same design??!!!???

one of the junior even performed ai no uta.. and yamashita even initimated mabo-chan...

in tackey and tsubasa concert.. they too have fighting with the bad guys with lighted sabre and i had not been to smap concert (first would be on 27th oct) thus i not too sure they are about the same a not..

i would post some highlights of tackey and tsubasa concert if i can manage to get them type up in another thread.. it was quite an entertaining one.. and i was hoping in my heart.. if smap can do what tackey and tsubasa did in their concerts.. i think most of us would pay high price for arena tickets and first rows of great stand..

btw, one of the concert goods is penlight.. and they have color like blue (for tackey), red (for tsubasa) and green..but the first thought i have when i saw these penlights, red for takuya and blue for nakai.... (note, there isn't any engraving of group name.. juz a normal heart-shape penlight).. so without thinking much.. got both the penlights.. one for masako chan and one for myself.. to use on smap concert.. =P

Haha rendy... bought a blue penlight for Masako-chan and a red one for yourself at the Tackey and Tsubasa concert?! "Typical Smap fan!"

What do you mean when you said that if Smap does what they did in their concerts, we would all pay very high price for for the arena seats and 1st row of grand stand?  Didn't quite get what you mean there...

I like "sege no mikata" part of last year's performance. Hehe... Now you reminded me about it. And jumping up and down when the Juniors sang it... I really want to see how you changed from sitting down to jumping up with the first few chords of the song  Must be quite a sight!

okie.. i will not be mystery here.. and with masako chan watching tv and cooking lunch.. i better post fast and let her use the computer..

okie the stage is quite different from smap.. the stage is like from the front stage it will form a circle to the center hamachi with both side reaching the center hamachi at ground level. so it's like a slope and can run down to arena anytime.. then from center hamachi, it connected to encode stage with extention to the sides.. so can say every part of the stage can be reached from anywhere thus there is no such thing as encode stage.. every platform is a stage.. and for each arena area.. there is surely a platform nearby for you see them up close.. and they have 4 cranes.. 2 at center hamachi with 1 on each end of the stage, 2 at the encore stage with 1 on each side of the stage.

and if you sit at the end of row or at the other corner of the arena that is not near the platform.. that would be the best seats.. cos tackey and tsubasa would be running from the stage to that area and shake your hands.. they did it numerous times during the concert.. and what i pity is the securities.. as they have to hold the railings.. (i saw railing falling on them a lot of times) and they had to be chasing tackey and tsubasa juz to stay beside them when they did handshaking.. tackey and tsubasa even run to grandstand and shake hands.. and the worst seats in arena become the best seats as you get to shake hands.. so if smap did the same.. wouldn't us be paying high price to get even E zone of arena..

and know what... they even walked down from the 1st level grandstand down to the arena area and those near the aisle they walk down get to shake their hands.. i was like jumping mad when they did that.. cos tsubasa (tackey on the other side..) walked down the aisle which is juz one aisle away next to mine... =<

btw takuyee.. i deen sit most of the time cos i would be blocked.. so i juz stand and watch.. sometime.. i climb on my seat to sit on the top with my back on the railing.. (i was at the last row of 1st level).. not much movement..

hello everyone.. it's me again.. it's seem no one been posting but reading??!!?? anyway.. the following is the continuation of my encounter.. too tired to post yesterday.. been out since 6.30am and back at 10.30pm.. okie.. long words keep short.. will go into details now..

22/10/2002, Tuesday

reached Studio Alta at 8.15am, thinking is nakai.. i shd be there early.. but think that i am too early as the reception area for waratte iitomo is not even out yet.. but i already see like 5 to 6 people around.. waited until 8.45am.. the reception is moved out.. the number of people increased to abt 10 plus people.. until 9.15am.. there was like 20 odd of us.. i begin to move a bit near to the line.. and when i saw the security removing the line away at around 9.30am.. i immediately run to the front.. and got first in the line (of cos being first did not mean u can get in.. there would be draw lots if demand is more than supply.. juz that i wan to be in front so i can see what is happening when i am waiting behind the stairs.. juz in case i deen get in and can still catch nakai when he walk by..)

10.15am went back and saw a lot of people in the with tickets queue.. it's really more than what i saw on friday. again.. was asked to wait at the stairs.. since i am the first.. i choose not to sit down.. but stand so i can run out anytime when i hear a commotion.. was counting people when they walked past me.. the number is horrible.. there was 57 of us.. imagine the number is abt 3 times more than friday.. which was only 16 of us.. at 10.35am.. saw osugi walking towards the lift.. then at 10.45am heard commotion.. run out immediately and saw a van.. looked back at the people behind me and give them a look that everyone start running and trying to see what happen.. the security came and asked us to go back to where we shd be waiting.. at 11.15am.. still no sight of nakai.. until 11.20am, the person in charge walked in and said that there is oni 6 vacanies.. i was holding my hands tightly, praying hard.. the first one picked up is number 2.. i was number 1.. then my heart is beating even fastest.. "ichi ban no kata desu".. i got it.. i got my chance to go in.. the number 2 japanese girl was like jumping away.. shaking my hands and hugging.. both of us were very happy.. btw the time i recover myself.. the draw was over.. the unsuccessful one had to go.. when they walked past me.. their eyes looked sad and telling to the 6 of us.. omedetou.. then the person in charge tried to explain to us that no photography allowed in the studio and a lady took out the camera and want to give it to the person.. then i caught eyes that she is holding onto a passport.. so i use english to tell her that it's okie as long as u don't take the camera out.. she thanks me.. and we are led to the waiting queue again.. though i am more excited than friday.. but i remember my passport and i wasn't running up the stairs anymore.. but walking up slowly..

at the stairs.. the lady whom i spoke to in english asked me where i am from.. i told her from singapore.. she then said she and her friend were from taiwan.. and asked me whether it's fine for her to use mandarin to tok to me.. i answer back and say it's perfectly fine.. then we start chatting happily in mandarin.. they juz flow in on saturday and would be going for first 2 days concert in osaka. i told them i would be staying until tokyo stadium concerts.. their eyes were big as the concert is next week.. why am i there so early?? i answered that i am juz here early to tour around.. and tried catch smap in person whenever i can.. and i asked whether they will be at tmc tomorrow.. they say they would and we can meet up there again..

11.45am.. we were let into the studio. i was given the last row seat again.. this time the first person on the left facing the stage.. number was given like 2 rows before me and the 2 taiwanese were given 4 rows before me.. so it is good to be a bit behind in number?? okie the program start on time.. i was clapping loudly when nakai came out.. he is wearing a long sleeve shirt with colored buttons and a white t-shirt in it, blue jeans and white sneakers with checked design.. he is without a hat and moustache not shave.. he does look tired.. really...

the first section is hosted by him.. there were 2 competitors.. the first one is a cheerleading lady.. she has a stick with her. as what we know.. cheerleading is like dancing with the music.. the lady prepared herself in a pose to wait for the music.. but she was distracted a few time by nakai trying to initimated her action.. by the time she performed.. all the host including nakai were shocked with her performance.. she is really good in the stick.. actually being able to turn the stick round and round with her elbows and neck.. and nakai actually asked her to deomonstrate again..

the second one is a old man who can use a stick with an arrow inserted and using his mouth shot at the target.. when nakai asked him to start.. the man juz blow and next thing we know.. the arrow is a bulleye.. nakai was shocked and asked the first competitor to perform her stick turning around with elbow.. nakai was so cute.. he look like a child enjoying the game.. the man tried it again.. and bulleye.. nakai asked the girl to perform again..

in the end.. when the result is out.. nakai declared the lady as winner.. then he asked the host to show votes again as the number is abt the same.. but it was commerical time.. so he gave the money to the lady and the crown to the man.. and when he is walking back to the backstage.. i mustered my entired courage and shouted "Nakaikun".. he deen response and walked out..(i had been telling myself since morning when i am waiting that if i can get.. i will shout for nakai.. for my sake and masako chan.. but when i finally shouted.. there wasn't any response and i am a bit disappointed)

the next time nakai came out is a game which they have to guess which japanese sounveirs is the most popular among foreigners.. the one who guess the number one position would has a batsu to eat disgusting things.. there was 7 of them.. nakai was the last.. he look so serious in thinking which one.. and by the time it was his turn, there were oni left with 4 choice.. i mustered my courage again and shouted "Gambatte Nakaikun".. again no reply.. i then decided,  i shd stop shouting.. anyway.. i did shout, juz that it is not responsed.. in the end it was osugi that has to eat the disgusting food.. then it was commerical time and nakai rush back to the back.. it's weird as he seems eager to rush to the backstage..

the next section was a game in 2 groups.. both group were given a qn to answer and within the group if there is a similar answer then the group would earn points. the first qn is what food you like when you are young.. nakai give an answer that make the host laugh so much.. the group members are giving hambuger and nakai give an answer that was quite impossible for a person to like when young. the second qn was what do you think is the best posture for a guy to be kakoii..  and the host ask for answer.. they are supposed to get into the posture.. nakai got into a posture with a hand over his mouth with a bit towards his cheeks.. the host asked him what the meaning of the posture.. he was saying.. normally when a couple quarrel.. the girl would slapped the guy and the guy would wipe the hurt off with the hand... he look cute..

then it's commerical time and nakai went in again.. when the stage was set up for the game.. all host were out except for nakai. though we are still at commerical break.. tamori basically introduce the game as if we are on air and nakai started to run out.. and when he discover it's a prank play.. his expression was cute.. this game is sort of similar to baseball.. each host will have a turn each (except for 3 who have 2 tries.. nakai is one of them).. with a racket.. they hit a ball as if their racket is a baseball bat and pts would be earned based where the ball end on the board in front.. nakai got a zero for the first try and looked really dispointed.. on the second try.. he scored a 3.. he looked happily.. then when the game is finished.. osugi was given another chance as he couldn't score.. but he still miss and nakai was laughing at him.. and osugi start chasing after nakai.. it look so fun.. and with that mark the end of live recording.. and of cos same as friday.. the recording continue on.. juz that there wasn't any guest or performance or games.. the host juz stand there and speak for 40mins..

the first topic was on smap concert.. osugi was saying he went to the tokyo dome concert and was seated on the first rows of the arena.. he keep waving at nakai and nakai did not notice.. and osugi went on saying it is very tiring to go for smap concert as he had to stand for 3.5hours but also commented that the performance was very good.. nakai thank him for that.. throughout the talking.. nakai was very quiet.. i think he is too tired cos can catch him rubbing his eyes.. doing stretching exercises.. and when osugi was teased.. he would sometime chipped in and osugi started chasing nakai again.. by the time the recording is done.. nakai walked in.. i mustered my courage to shout again.. and this time.. finally he look back and then walked back to backstage.

when i walked down to the entrance of studio alta.. i saw the van which i saw earlier in the queue.. and the next thing i know.. i saw nakai walking out of the side entrance towards the van.. i start chasing after him.. he look tanner here.. and with sunglasses.. and now then i realise.. the commotion earlier that made me to run out is by nakai.. juz that he deen go thr the same entrance as tamori and osugi but from the other entrance. and that mark the end of my waratte iitomo on tuesday...

23/10/2002, Wednesday

today i was held up and got to TMC later than I intended.....I was envious and worried that i would miss them.. saw the 2 taiwan ladies which i met at waratte iitomo.. and they thought i had lost my way (luckily i deen lost my way to tmc.. but i been losting my way from masako chan house to station.. )

A van drove up.. and caught Shingo's back.. couldn't see what he is wearing but saw his closed to white hat and dyed hair.. then suddenly another van drove up.. the next thing i know.. takuya walked out of the van and into the building.. i was looking at Shingo and after i react to takuya.. it was like a bit late.. but caught what he is wearing.. sweater cap, sunglasses, sweater and jeans.. he really look great.. 5 mins later.. nakai  arrives in the same van which i saw he left in after waratte iitomo..  all there were shouting ohayo to nakai.. (weird that they deen shout to takuya and shingo) then waited and waited.. still no tsuyoshi and goro in sight..

at this time.. saw a few japanese ladies looking at tokyo stadium seating plans.. was so curious and started a conversation with them.. was shocked.. there was like until K for arena.. while looking at the seating plan.. 2 hongkong ladies joined us.. i sorted of become a bridge between the taiwan ladies, the hongkong ladies and the japanese ladies (with my limited japanese)..  the hongkong ladies got so excited and was grapping my hands.. they were takuya fans and they are contented to juz see takuya.. and they said want to go to cafe to have lunch.. i was thinking like.. the cafe in TMC (me and taiwan ladies decided to have lunch there..).. end up it was a misunderstanding and they were going la bonita.. told them the directions and they left..

I waited again..... still no sight of the other 2.. we are joking.. takuya must be jumping inside.. then   a car drove in.. and a hand come up.. recognise the ring on the last finger.. and then tsuyoshi walked out.. can oni see his back.. and a drink smap logo on his back sweater.

Later the 3 of us were out of the cafe.. we really go there for lunch.. not to wait for smap.. the other table ladies were told off by the owner.. then i left for harajuku and spent a bomb with the goods..

i would be going to tmc tomorrow with mappy and tsy.. hope we would be lucky.. and i hope to see goro.. as he is the oni one i never seen before..

Hi, rendy, I was finally able to really sit down and read your postings.....  really happy for you!!  You are choo~~lucky!!  That reminds me; on the Sunday Special Edition of Warrate Iitomo Sept/15, there was a part where Tsuyoshi was dared to do an embarrassing act.  I think it was Tamori-san who dared him, as Tamori-san demonstrated how to squat down, acted like an ape, then scratched his butt (the crack, in fact), and then sniffed it.   Tsuyoshi said, laughingly, that of course he could do it.  But as Tsuyoshi attempted all the acts, he couldn't hold his laughter, which seemed like a way to mask how embarrassed he really was, every posture was barely done.....   He couldn't really get into acting like an ape, especially in front of live audiences, I guess.   That was cute!  And that reminds me of the SxS I watched lately, where Tsuyoshi was supposedly to do a parody on Madonna, but instead, the dressed up Tsuyoshi only got really embarrassed........

As far as their behavior on Waratte Iitomo, I think Tsuyoshi is actually the most friendly, Nakai the least.  Tsuyoshi is the one that would always be properly made up, and he would pay some attention to the fans in the audiences.  Nakai, on the other hand, would always look tire, looks as if he just rolled out of the bed, not much make-up if any, and he doesn't dress up for the show.  But when appropriate, he would respond to the audience, just not particularly to the fans.   How is Shingo?  Well, as far as my observation goes, Shingo is not at all interested in interacting with the fans in the audiences, he doesn't apply much make-up, if any (like Nakai), and usually his hair is a mess, barely jelled.  However, it is a norm on Monday for him to dress up in a costume, so he does look different every week.  Shingo, unlike Tsuyoshi and Nakai, he doesn't seem like to participate much in the show, always standing at the farthest corners, but he would remain on stage during the CMs, near the staff sometimes.

Having said all that, one may assume I have an opinion on their behavior... but the truth is, I don't.  Nakai's lack of friendliness doesn't bother me, cuz it's been shown that he can be a Mr. Shy at times; he doesn't seem to like the crowd, especially not a crowd of female fans...   The Deli!Sma installment which they gave each other a challenge, the way Shingo designed Nakai's part must had been based on the fact that Nakai couldn't handle being in the crowd alone.  I giggled when I watched the part where he ran out of a bakery, refused to abide by the rule of the challenge, simply because there was nothing but a crowd of women in the bakery.....   Hahaha......   I laughed so hard when I watched that, cuz, how could someone who seems so capable as a MC, directing people, controlling situation in variety shows, but yet,  couldn't really handle people in real life.....   Nakai-kun is really cute that way ne!  I am assuming this part of Nakai should be quite hard for Nakai fans, who are lucky enough to be in up close encounters with him; but I really like this part about him, in a sense, to me, it shows the purity of his heart, that even though he is a top star in Japan (yes, for the overseas fans who may not be able to get a gist of Nakai's popularity in Japan: he is BIG there!) , and the tabloids may not be printing the nicest things about him, but fundamentally, Nakai is the boy from Fujisawa, regardless how famous he gets!

Ah Rendy...thank you for all your reports...I'm so so so JEALOUS!!!  Why can't I be there with you??? Why can't I see Waratte Iittomo live??  Why can't I be at TMC watching all the members walking by?? Why Why Why??  I'm so happy for you Rendy...it sounds like you are having tons and tons of fun!!!  Like Shin_chan said, I think you might actually be so lucky that you'll get Takuya's gifts....ah!!!  I would just die of jealousy when that happens!!! hehehehehe...

Okay....I think I've composed myself now...so I just want to say that keep up with the reports if you can because even though I'm not there physically, I can imagine how it would feel like if I was really there...your reports are GREAT!!!!  Really looking forward to reading more....

Oh yeah, one last thing.....HAVE TONS AND LOADS OF FUN AT THE CONCERTS!!!!

Rendy!!!  AHHH!!!  I'm so excited for you!!!  Thanks for all your wonderful reports... really hope you get Takuya's present!  (what's the star ranking for that?)

Haha!  Meant to reply earlier, but spent so much time sighing after reading each report that by the time I decide to get down to writing something, must rush off to lectures again... like what I have to do now.

But have a GREAT TIME!!!

Its Friday..............4 in the afternoon.......Rendy should be in Narita......awaiting the arrival of some of our members  for the concerts............

Today....... Rendy told me  was not as lucky as last Friday at Studio Alta ....in the lucky draw to see Tsuyoshi ........LIVE in  Wara ii tomo live ......the odds was not as good.......bout 36 people vieing for 6 cancellations that day..........

So............she consoled herself...............by going off to Chiba to see her Takuya's birthplace.....

Mmm... Chiba...Yes...Chiba.....  (Paige wrote too much on the other thread, so she is now only capable of one word at the time, especially when her thoughts are stuck on Takuya's hometown~~ Chiba...)

thanxs mitsuru.. for saying my unsucessful in waratte iitomo live today... actually initial plan was to go chiba.. to see my ichiban birthplace.. but tsy, mappy and a few others wanted to go to iitomo.. so followed them.. but they had missed the train and could not get any cancel tickets.. i am the oni one.. lucky for them.. they manage to see tsuyoshi at the back door..

chiba was great.. though i am really tired but i walked around the city for abt 2 and half hours.. looking at the area my ichiban grow up in..

would be going to odaiba tomorrow.. and off to osaka for sunday concert and back on monday.. will be trying to catch nakai on tuesday before starting my iterary for touring.. (chances of catching my ichiban is hard.. so is already contented to see any members) and wednesday would be tmc and la bonita, then concerts for the next four days.. cannot believe i am here for a week and i after look at my iterary.. find that 3 weeks is not enough.. shd stay longer.. (think a lot of arrows shooting at me now....)

will try to post whenever possible as my hotel have a share computer and i waited for 2 hours before laying my hands on it.. and someone is still waiting..

I just got a buzz from our friend in Osaka...............

the Osaka concert just ended............

with din still ringing in her ears.........................

she tells me:

(far as I can gather.............)

the lucky fans tonight .....................were an entire block in arena.............from Kimura Kun...

lots of small items..............and the main items were of course...........the cap off his head and the T shirt dripped with Kimura's essence......*laugh*....his sweat lah....!.....

.........they played Jankenpon for  tonight's part for Yozora.................Nakai got the first part.............Tsuyoshi got Kimura's solo part.............which he could not manage at all.......because Nakai was distrubing him all the time and he was too nervous and sang too quickly...............

Kimura told him to try again...........................No help...............he still sang too fast....

As our dear friend is not able to get to a computer ..(she is dog tired...from all the travelling.....).....I hope this will suffice for the moment................she will fill you in as soon as she can............

she also spend a (another)bomb on nonofficial goods outside the dome............tis all Kimura, Kimura, Kimura.............HIS DROOLWORTHYNESS..........and they all looked SOOOO............good ............(I think she meant it looked better than in the official pics/goods....)........

hihi everyone.. i am back from osaka.. real tired.. me and masako chan were very excited when on our way to osaka.. but when we are back.. we keep asking why the trip seem to take a longer time.. even though most of the time on our return trip was sleeping.. (it is really horrible.. shinkansen from tokyo to osaka is 3 hours plus.. and a thr and fro trip is a flight time from singapore to japan..)

i got to meet up with joycec in osaka.. she deen expect me to be there.. sorrie joycec.. i know masako chan would be meeting you long time back.. but i feel like giving u a surprise would be better... 

i got quite good seats in osaka.. 3rd row.. but not the 3rd row starting from the stand.. but 3rd row at the entrance.. so if start from the stand.. shd be around 13 rounds.. the view was great..  near right hamachi.. and weird that kimura-kun love to go that area, keep seeing him.... and with bino.. they are like within reachable distance..  (kindof worried now cos my tokyo seats on more on the left side.. which is nakai would be running that most of the time??? masako even offered to exchange my left side seats with her right side seats.. ) kimura-kun was so sexy.. normally i would say shingo is the cutest of all.. but tonite nakai-kun became the cutest.. most jokes came from him.. and me and masako chan think that nakai-kun must be sick.. as he was not singing much and his key keep getting off... tsuyoshi as usual is the most quiet...

i would love to post some details in concert.. but i believe joycec would be doing it that too.. and i am already late in meeting my friends.. the trains are fully booked so i deen get onto a train from osaka back to tokyo until quite late.. (also becos both me and masako chan do not want to get out of our covers.. it was so cold.. )

It is really weird.. i love to address kimura as takuya in singapore.. but in japan.. everyone is calling kimura-kun kimura-kun instead of takuya.. and i sort of converted my way of addressing him..

that abt all.. got to run.. tomorrow would be bring my friends to see nakai-kun at studio alta.. before starting our iternary for the day... if any encounter.. would post on board..

Rendy, the concert was fantastic, right?  How nice if I can be with you right now.  I'm so sad.  Not only that I'm not with you in Japan, watching Smap live in action, I still have to go through some stupid exams.  Argggghh, I want to cry.  When are you coming back???  It's a torture for me here in S'pore reading your posts but still you must update us leh.  I will read with my heart bleeding but never mind, I think my blood can sustain me till you come back.
