Tsuyoshi's Love Fighter 2009.08.29: I really love you all (Dai suki dayo)

I think by now, most of you would have already heard the news that Tsuyoshi's Shoujiki Shindoi will terminate by end Sept. I know it is heartrending for those of us who have been following Shindoi, as it is through Shindoi that we have seen Tsuyoshi's growth through the years, and through Shindoi that we have been able to glimpse more into his world. This Love Fighter message really comes timely, and I believe this is Tsuyoshi's way of comforting and consoling us. I'm sure Tsuyoshi must also be feeling sad at the abrupt decision to terminate Shindoi, and yet, he is the one comforting us. Tsuyoshi, you are one amazing guy! 私も大好きだよ(watashi mo dai suki dayo).

皆さま

いかがお過ごしですか？

僕は

今日のこの天気が
心地好いような

少し切ないような

そんな気分で
過ごしています。


ずっと
お仕事ばかりを
していたので

メールを配信出来ずに
いました。

ごめんなさい。

時間がないという事は
幸せだなと思います。

君達と
繋がる為に必死で
毎日を繋ぎとめている

君達の投げてくれる
気持ちを社会に
壊されないように

大切に大切に
感じながら生きてます。


本当に
いつもありがとう。

やり切れない
気持ちにさせられる

態度や行動や発言に
流されずに潰されずに

強さと正義をもって
君達の愛をもって

今日のこの空みたいに
青く真っ直ぐに
輝いていたい。

君達を
心から愛しています。

大好きだよ。


English translation:

Everybody

How have you been getting along?

As for me

Feeling as pleasant as today's weather

Feeling a little bit heartrending

It is with such feelings
that I am spending my days

As I have been continuously
busy with work

I was unable to send out
mail to you all.

My apologies.

Though I am so busy that I have no time
To me, it is a blessed situation

In order to stay connected to you all
I will try my hardest to grasp hold of each day

In order that the feelings you all have bestowed on me
be not spoiled by this society

Carefully Preciously
I treasure your feelings as I live each day

Truly
I am ever grateful

When feeling unbearable

When feeling like being crushed
by attitudes, actions or words

Holding on to strength and righteousness
Holding on to all your love

I wish to become radiant
like today's clear blue sky

I love you all
from the bottom of my heart

I really love you all (dai suki dayo)

Tsuyoshi to design hats for CA4LA!!!

Tsuyoshi is going to be designing hats for CA4LA (pronounced CASHILA), a famous hat shop in Japan. His first design will be a beret. If it is going to be a cap, I would be able to say no to it quite easily since I don't like to wear caps, but a beret......I'm tempted......Orz

Tsuyoshi's page on CA4LA's website is: http://www.ca4la.com/tsu4shi/

As usual, Tsuyoshi is full of creativity and you have to play a little matchstick game on his CA4LA webpage before you can see the messages about his coming design.

This is the purple logo of Tsuyoshi on CA4LA's webpage. You can click on it to go to Tsuyoshi's page. TSU4SHI and CA4LA, sharing the number 4. So ingenious, right?!


Okie, we are now at the matchstick game! All you have to do is pick up the rainbow-coloured "matchsticks" and put them into the number "4".




After that, Tsuyoshi's hand will appear!


Over rainbow-coloured planets!

[090812] KinKi Kids' 15s CM (ver 2) for music.jp: JOIN BODY!

CM Translation:

Koichi: Don't you find that recently our roles are different from our initial roles?
Tsuyoshi: I am "i".
Koichi: (upset tone) I am the dot dot on the "i"!
Tsuyoshi: But I am the rod of the "i"! (And Tsuyoshi's figure elongates)
Koichi: JOIN BODY!!! (literal translation of the japanese word "Gat-tai"; likely English words used in such context might be "transform" or "combine")
And right before our very eyes, Koichi jumps on top of Tsuyoshi!!!

Hmmm...why is my face turning red?!?! I'm not smiling...I'm really not! Kekeke!

Domoto Brothers #397 (090802): Bear!

I saw this from 51xmomox24's blog and I thought it was important to note it here for all KinKi Kids' fans to know about this cut segment from the DB recording. Apparently, during the recording of this DB episode (on 28 Jul 2009), KinKi Kids mentioned that they were not assigned any jobs for their 12th anniversary (on 21 Jul 2009) even though they did beforehand highlighted their anniversary to Johnny's Entertainment. I believe all KinKi Kids' fans would find it heartwarming to know that Koichi and Tsuyoshi both really care for their fans and wanted to do something for us on their anniversary.

[090808] CDTV: Koichi's Ayakashi is No. 1 on CDTV's Weekly Chart

Oricon Chart: Koichi is No. 1 on Oricon Singles Weekly Chart

Congrats to Koichi! Koichi's newest single - "Ayakashi" tops the Oricon Singles Weekly Chart with total sales of 151,093 for the week from 28 Jul to 3 Aug! Impressive!




Koichi's 1st day sales was 64,948, throwing all the other musicians way behind for that day.

1st Day - 29 Jul 2009


Not surprising if we look at the expectation rating for Koichi's single.

[090801]: KinKi Kids' 15s CM (ver 1) for music.jp

[will update CM transcript later]

The 15 s CM for music.jp is out also!

Credit to sunmoon0953 for the YouTube video:



Tsuyoshi: I am the dot in music.jp
Koichi: I am the dot on "j" of "jp"
Tsuyoshi: Why?
Koichi: do-mo-to
Tsuyoshi: do-mo-to
Koichi: do-mo-to
Tsuyoshi: do-mo-to
Koichi: DOT DOT!!!
Tsuyoshi: That's overdone (laughs)

[090801]: KinKi Kids' 30s CM for music.jp

Wahahahaha! Yes, I'm laughing at how silly they look in the CM for music.jp, but oh my gosh, how can they look so silly and yet be still so cute and adorable! Kawaiiiiiii!!! It's been such a long time since they had had a chance to show off their "comedic" talents in a commercial. Tsuyoshi's "do do do do doh" (accompanied by the rolling effect!) is so cute and of course, Koichi has no problem recognising him just from that, immediately asking, "A-re Tsuyoshi?".

Sumimasen, but I can't help doing this. If you haven't watched the CM yet, let's first play a game of spotting the KinKi Kids! I'm going to sort of like "play" the CM in reverse order.

Picture No. 1:
If you can spot them here, you are a die-hard KKF!


Picture No. 2:
If you can spot them here, you are still a die-hard KKF! Fufufu!

Picture No. 3:
Answer is getting closer!



Picture No. 4:
If you still can't spot them, you're obviously on the wrong blog! Lol!


Picture No. 5:
Tah-dah! The answer is out! The 2 cute little blue dots are Koichi and Tsuyoshi!!! Tsuyoshi is the dot in front of "jp" and Koichi is the dot on top of the "j".



Hahahahaha! Sorry, I can't help but laugh. It's so hysterically funny! Do watch the video below! I love the way they "come out" of the dots and the way they bounce!!! Kekekekeke!




Credit to lovefun9 for the YouTube video:




CM Transcript:

Tsuyoshi: (dot rolling along and singing) Do do doh! Do do do do doh!
Koichi: Are you Tsuyoshi?
Tsuyoshi: This voice...are you Koichi?

(Both "come out" from the blue dots)

Koichi: What are you doing?
Tsuyoshi: I am now the dot in "music.jp" (Tsuyoshi dot bounces)
Koichi: Yeah?! I'm the dot on the "j" of "jp" (Koichi dot bounces too)
Tsuyoshi: Then, you are the representative of Japan?!
Koichi: But you are the king of dot, aren't you?
Tsuyoshi: How did you end up talking about king? It's embarrassing. (Tsuyoshi says with embarassed laugh and shrinks back into his dot)

Narrator: KinKi Kids' limited ringtone available for download.

KinKi Kids: ヒットがきゅっと(hitto ga gyutto)、キンキがドット(KinKi ga dotto). music.jp

The last line is obviously a pun, a play on the rhyme between hitto (hit), gyutto (squeezing tightly) and dotto (dot). I think it means holding tightly to music hits and KinKi are dots! Hahahahahaha!!! Totally hilarious!

[090731] Music Station: Koichi's New Song "Ayakashi" is No. 1

09.07.31 Music Station - Ayakashi - Talk + Live

Oh my god! Koichi is soooo sexy in this live performance on Music Station! You must watch it! (I'm swooning......)

This video has the talk session.
Credit to jecoutdown for the YouTube video:




Mini Station
The guest stars were walking into the studio about 2-3 minutes before the show starts and Shingo was there to "disturb" the guest stars. Koichi looked surprised but happy to see him.

This is the part where Shingo introduced themselves as the KinKi Kids! Look at how kawaii Koichi is smiling and look look!...his infamous laugh until his back is bent backwards pose!




Talk

When Ayakashi was introduced as the No.1 song, look at Koichi's surprised look in the top right hand small window. And then he started smiling shyly as he looked down. Kochan is still the same after so many years! :)



Koichi looks so good when he appears to be deep in thoughts. I am very intrigued by his red bead necklace. It looks similar to the one he is wearing in TV Guide and another KK fan commented how similar his look in there was to Tsuyoshi's. I have to say his red bead necklace really looks similar to the black bead necklace that Tsuyoshi always wears recently.

I've added a screen cap from a recent DB episode which shows the black bead necklace Tsuyoshi is wearing. It's not the same but the "feel" is similar.



Did you notice his top has silver chains falling down from his collar?! It swings with his body movement. Real cool! Oh, the girl besides him apparently was the lead actress for one of his Shock musical.


Live Performance

Notice the use of the colours of purple, red and blue again in the Music Station stage setup? Is it my imagination or somehow there seems to be more blue this time than in the PV?? (wink wink!)


Love this dance move where they point their finger and then drop it down.



(swooning away......)



This dance move is real cool! Reminds me of Tsuyoshi's Unchanged in Phi Con but the effect here is very different.



And we come to the ending pose! Koichi is so かっこいい ね！
