I feel like such a little girl again - since finding the CandyBar links a couple of days ago over at Johnnys Cafe I've been obsessed with making Takki and Tsuba dolls. Here are my 'masterpieces'...^^

TAKKI DOLLS

TSUBASA DOLLS

LOL so what dya think?! OK I know they don't really look like T&T (well the Tsuba ones kind of do but Takki ones are questionable ^^;;;;) but hey hum I tried yo. I really tried to recreate some of their pv/JD looks i.e. Tsuba -> Yumemo, Takki -> Serenade, Takki -> Kyon and really thought about the kinda clothes that they like to wear. And although some of the doll's looks look pretty spot-on, other times I wasn't so lucky so erm...just had to improvise. I tell ya man...IT REALLY IS ALL ABOUT THE HAIR!!!!!! AND BOY did I have trouble when it came to choosing do's. ^^;;;;; LOL...I mean there were quite a few Tsuba-like do's but Takki's on the other hand were a NIGHTMARE to find!!!! COME ON Takki doesn't have THAT unique a hairstyle! ^^;;;; - ok maybe 'unique' in terms of how it looks PERFECT ALL THE TIME but...style-wise it's not like it really OUT-THERE or anything so ><"don't really understand why out of the 842 hair pieces you could put on your doll were there only like 2 or 3 which looked Takki-like...*sigh* Ahh well...again -> improvised and hehe I'm still proud of my dolls...LOL think I might make some more later. Btw if you wanna have a go yourself - please follow the link below and click on the Boy Doll Maker link. WORD OF WARNING though -> it's DAMN ADDICTIVE!!!!! XD XD XD

HAVE FUN me luvlys!!!!!

P.S - I know I'm a day late BUT -> OTANJOUBI OMEDETOU TSUYOSHI-KUN!!! Ahhh 26 years of age and still going strong. All the best for the future and please PLEASE continue to make great music with your aikata. Speaking of which - isn't it about time the KKs released that long-anticipated H ALBUM?!?!?!??!

P.P.S - LOL my lil sister has just so kindly informed me that the name 'Hideaki' means smart, clever...XD you learn something new everyday...^^

P.P.P.S - Came accross this really kawaii lil icon the other day...hohohooo...it needs NO words...

This happened a good couple of days ago but I've still got the biggest grin on my face. ^^ I d/l the mezamashi & F2smile clips which memoripiece and Blu u/l over @ JC (THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!) and I'm on cloud 9 ...keke...both Ts looked really good (both lost weight?!) and really genki that day (not surprising of course - I mean since when have they ever NOT been genki when they're around each other??!) and as predicted by many fans there WAS a 'secret' live performance (not that it was much of a secret XD) after the screening. Kyaa all those lucky people...all those lucky lucky who got to witness the first (?) unit performance of 'Kamen'. ^^ So jealous...

T&T wore those gorgeous black satin suits again (the ones from those news clips a couple of weeks back) - SUPER kakkoii-looking outfits and by the looks of things it's more than likely that they're the main outfit for this single. Hmm and as many of you will know by now - there aren't any props to go with the single this time round but I'm not too bothered about that really cos the dance totally makes up for it. *drools* Actually in a way I'm kinda relieved that there aren't any cos I bet if there were it would've been those scary green mask and LOL you all KNOW how much I *ahem* 'love' those masks. ><" Back to the clips -> none of them actually show the whole performance but I LOVED what I did see of the dance -> sharp, electrifying well-timed UNIT DANCING!!!! T&T SAIKOUUUUU!!!! Mmm...although...is it me or did it look chotto complicated?!?! ^^;;;; Kyaa how are the fans suppose to follow?!?! ^^;;;;

T&T looked so cute in the interview segment and judging from Jenn's report - there was a bit of raburabu too. *grin widens* LOL....they errr...really were asked some completely random questions though weren't they?!?! (or should I say T&T STEERED the convo in complete random directions XD) The one I HAVE to talk about though is the 'if you could change into another person after putting on the mask who would you like to become' question. Ok so many ppl have talked about this already on their blogs and I don't wanna bore you guys BUT I really need/want to comment on their answers. ^^;;;;

BRIEF RECAP: Tsuba wanted to become invisible...tranform into his aikata-kun and go tell Takki-mama all of Takki's secrets. SO CHEEKY!!!! Takki on the other hand - also wanted to become invisible but additional tranform into a woman. WAAAAHHHH!!!! DEJA VU!!!! BOTH of these answers have cropped up before. Tsuba @ Channel @ Making of...Serenade gatcha gatcha talk whilst Takki gave that answer during the Channel @ 2wenty 2wo promo gatcha gatcha talk. XD hmmm wonder if they even realise that they've said these things before?!?!

LOL Tsuba just cracks me up. He really is dying to expose some of Takki's secrets to Takki's mama isn't he?!?! XD TSUBASA is this way your of 'black-mailing' your aikata-kun?!?!?! XD But...XD there's no need to wait till you get to change into your aikata-kun to reveal his secrets...infact you don't have to just reveal them to Takki's mama either. You know what they say - share and share alike. I mean us fans would be MORE THAN HAPPY to listen to you...XD XD XD (hohohooo...wonder what was going through Takki's head the moment Tsuba said that?!?! XD) As for Takki - well...well...well what can I say - this boy sure digs cross-dressing (^^;;;;;...LOL and here was me thinking we were back to seme-Takki...) I mean not that I'm against him doing that or anything - in fact think he looks damn good (esp in this years calendar) AND if you think about - he DOES have a point. I reckon it'd DEF be interesting to become a guy for the day. XDXDXD And of course I wouldn't wanna become just any guy...oh no no no no NO...if I could choose I would LOVE to become Takki or/and Tsuba for the day (you know spend half as Takki and half as Tsuba) Now THAT is what I would call fun XD I mean just imagine how amazing it'd be to just see what they see, feel what they feel and be able to experience the kind of things they have to go through in their daily lives ...cos let's face it - we could talk about them till we're blue in the face...watch tv clips and read about them over and over and OVER again but we're NEVER EVER gonna be able to know the 'REAL' them...so you know what better way to find out than to ACTUALLY become them...LOL *ahem* please excuse my whacked ideas. NEXT....

T&T HAIR TALK: (now you didn't think Yvie was going to write a WHOLE entry without mentioning anything about T&Ts hair did you!?!?! XD) Firstly - hasn't Tsuba's hair gotten long?!?!?! WOOO...def a big thumbs up from me cos although I liked his short hair (didn't at first but then it really grew on me - kyaa Serenade PV *thud*) nothing beats girlie long locks Tsuba. And WOW - how silky smooth did it look?!?! *yvie wanna stroke* wonder what he used to get it looking SO NICE?!?!? DAMN MAN why can't my hair ever look like that?!??! ^^;;;; *ahem* anyways Takki's hair looked lovely as usual...really liked how he styled it esp the front and it looked SO FLUFFY as well. KA-WA-II!!!!! Hmm...and I think he's def had it trimmed recently...actually it looks like it's been trimmed quite a bit. You can't really see it in above caps...the one below is of the back of his head and it does look slightly shorter don't you think?!??!

But then I could be wrong of course cos like I said his hair was styled 'differently' and it did have a lot more 'volume' to it - so...although it looked shorter it probably wasn't. mmm...can't be 100% sure till I analyse it more in depth. (YES! Yvie has a thing about analysing Takki's hair!! XD)

Anyways am getting tired again - didn't get much sleep last night and ><" panda eyes are getting more and more panda-like by the minute ^^;;;; NOT GOOD!!! NOT GOOD AT ALL!!! BUT...before I turn in for the night I just want to share these caps of this ADORABLE but complete AHO moment at the end of the F2smile clip...

What a cute cute CUUUTTEEE way to end the clip on. Basically T&T are standing in a two shot - Takki does a peace sign, looks over to Tsuba with this...I'm not even sure how to describe it look - 'embarassed'/'shy' (?) look...*shrugs*...- who then followed with his peace sign...XD kekekeke...MAN those two...are...just...so...adorably...BAKA...*glomp* *squash* *heart* Ahhh cannot wait to see more of T&T...come come come 4th May...PLEASE COME QUICK!

P.S - Happy 20th Birthday to you YAMAPI!!!!! mmm...wonder what he got up to?! Wonder if either of the Ts brought him a present or celebrated with him?!?! And maybe even more importantly (to me that is) - did Pi actually go to Takki's bday bash?!?!?! hmmm....

BANZAI!!!! Me and my sister FINALLY decided to invest in one of those all-in-one printer/scanner/copier machines annnnddddd BOY do I love the thing!! LOL or should I say I LOVE the scanner...XD XD XD You probably think I'm a complete weirdo (nothing new there then...XD) getting excited over a scanner but dudes yvie has been scanner-less for...errr... 4? 5? maybe even 6? months now and it's been driving yvie up the wall!!!! ><" Well ok...I haven't been completely scanner-less...I've been kinda using my cousin's and I did install my ancient scanner from years and years ago after my other one flaked out on me...^^;;;;; but...a) couldn't exactly use couz scanner all the time and b) ancient scanner was CRAP! The scans that came out were BAD with a capital B...so bad that I was even embarassed to let those scans show their faces! ^^;;;;; (errr...what the heck possessed us to buy that scanner in the first place man?!?! ^^:;;;) Ahhhh so now you get why I'm so happy! Keke seriously it really is nothing like having your own and as you may have noticed I've been giving it a good work-out too. *pets scanner* hohohoooo....

Gawd there's so much to blog about - don't even know where to start ^^;;; Why does this ALWAYS happen?! T&T drought season for weeks and then rush of news all at once. (guess it's a bit like what they say about men -> buses?!?! XD) *ahem* not that I'm complaining though...it might sound like I am but really I'm not...infact yvie is ECSTATIC!!!! Ahhh it's SO good to be a T&T fan yo!!!! Mmm ok guess I better get the 'old-ish' news out the way first...

First up -> I KNOW I'm SUPER LATE with this but you know how it is - you hear about the news...and you erm...get so wrapped up in kyaa'ing about it that you end up not having enough energy to actually blog... (well errr...that's what happens with me anyways) and besides...*all together now* IT'S BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!!! XD (one of my fave sayings XD)....

TAKKI OMEDETOUUUUUU!!!!!!

YOU WA STAR!!!

Anyways I'm sure by now everyone knows about our boy clinching the title of BEST ACTOR in the Nikkan Sports Dorama Grand Prix whilst Yoshitsune clinched BEST DRAMA (both of which winning by MILES) right?!?! *grins* AHHHH HAPPY HAPPY HAPPPPYYYY!!!!

(go HERE to view all results)

16,943 votes!!!!! I still can't get over that figure! And it looks even better when you compare it to the number of votes of the actor in the no.2 spot! *yvie giggles to herself* 16,943!!! TAKIZAWA SAIKOUUUU!!!! And lol as Snuffles also pointed out over at her blog - he didn't even need our help XD - well the help of overseas fans that is cos I'm SURE his Japanese fans would've voted. Ahhh I'm just so so happy him you know...it really feels so good to know that his acting talents are being recognised over and over again. And he totally deserves it too cos not only has he put his all into Yoshi but also if there's one area he partcularly shines at - it's this one! I mean Takki is a good all-rounder in general...but I think if you look at what he has achieved so far in his acting career compared to what he has musically...the former def stands out a lot more. Infact I think it's his STRONGEST area and I hope that he will continue to excel in it. ^^ Mmm as for Yoshitsune taking BEST DRAMA -> a BIG pat on the back to the Yoshi crew ...pretty good going don't you think?! Esp cos there has only been 12eps of it and LOL hasn't even gotten to the exciting stuff yet! (PAH! who's need ratings anyways XD)

NEXT -> So has everyone who can picked up their copies of this months mags yet?! I won't be getting mine till the 13th but I've managed to get a sneak-preview courtesy of Ebay and Yahoo Japan Auctions (*ahem* I know I shouldn't be lurking in these places cos it only depresses me esp. Yahoo Japan Auctions seeing that I can only LOOK but could not help it!!!!) And me likey - me likey A LOT!!!!

^^;;;; I was wondering when DUET would get their arse into gear and get T&T back on the cover - it's been WAY too long (btw anyone have any idea when they were last on the cover together?! must be over a year now right?!)...gawd knows why though. I mean just LOOK AT THOSE TWO!!! KAKKOII to the nth degree so why not have them on the cover?!?! I don't get it...same goes for the other mags...but then saying that - I can forgive WU and POTATO cos despite not having T&T on the cover that often they do 'treat' them pretty well. Duet (& Myojo grrrrr....) on the other hand are just pants! PANTS PANTS PAANNNTTSSS!!!! *whacksmackslappunchhighkick* I admit - Duet sometimes do have lovely pics and apparently pretty good interviews but *broken-record mode on* it REALLY bugs the hell out of me that they put the T&T articles MILES APART from each other. Seriously they're NEVER together - if one is at the front/middle of mag you can bet X amount of money that the other article WILL be near the back. ^^;;;; Can someone PLEASE tell me what all that is about?!??! cos no matter how I look at it - I don't see what GOOD reason they have for doing that. They don't split the Kinki's articles (or any other Johnny groups)...so why split up T&Ts?! *grumbles*

LOL...ok will shut up about the whole mag issue now XD Oohh guess what else I found on Yahoo Auctions earlier today...pics from T&T latest FC bulletin!!!! O_o Talk about quick huh?! Didn't the fans only receive it yesterday or day before?!

ONE WORD: KAKKOII!!! ^^ No real element of surprise seeing Tsuba's pages but Takki's...OMGGGGG Takki's....H-O-L-Y ~ M-A-M-A!!! OISHIIIIIII!!!!! *melts* KYAAAAA SOMEONE PLEASE LOCK THIS BOY UP (and give me the key XD) BEFORE HE DOES ANYMORE 'DAMAGE' XD XD XD *fan fan fan* LOL...I think - besides him looking so scrummy - I just LOVE the contrast between the two pages and it's moments like this which makes me go 'DAMN that really the SAME person?!?!?!' LOL I mean of course I KNOW it's Takki but he just looks so DIFFERENT. Left hand side -> Ext cool looking (*heart* that jacket and hair), idol Takizawa. Right hand side -> beautiful, mature Yoshi. Mmm must say I wasn't *too* fond of this particular Yoshi-look at first though (mainly cos I'm kinda hooked on current look) but now after seeing these babies it's def grown on me...

Ok think it's time to stop now...I still need to blog about Mask2/Song of Mask Premiere (wakakakakaka T&T TOGETHER...DANCING IN THOSE BLACK SUITS *THUD*) but I think I'll leave that till 2mo...need to do some screencapping 1st ^^....ja ne...

GOOD NEWS: My mum has been in a better mood lately BAD NEWS: that however does not mean she is completely off my back about the whole comp + internet issue. *sigh*...and to be honest I don't think she EVER will but hmmm I figured that as long as I stay on her good side and don't spend TOO LONG on here or well...should I say she doesn't SEE me spending too long on here then things should be ok between us. ^^;;;;; You know - I really hate it when things are crappy between me and my Mum. For one - it always feels 10x worse than say when I argue with my b/f. ^^;;;; And >< whenever we DO argue it ALWAYS reminds me of my early teens (which I would rather forget about!) when we were practically at each other throats every other day and it use to upset me so much. Thank god our relationship isn't like that anymore -> we're a lot more closer now!!!! And hmmm I think a lot of it had to do with me going away to uni and being away from home. Ahh those three years were such a eye-opener for me - I learnt a lot and inevitably matured a lot too. Sometimes I really wish I was still a student though. I really miss those days...I miss living with friends and I miss that feel of independence where I could do whatever I wanted - when I wanted... Hmm wonder when I'll be able to experience that again?!??!

Anyhoooo...btw I've uploaded that USO!? Japan episode for you guys!Gomen it took so long - I wanted to u/l it on Saturday but then things just kept getting in the way.

Like past 'split' clips - please use HJSplit (or any other file joiner) to join together. PLEASE also note that this clip is in RM format which means it can ONLY be played on REALPLAYER. If you don't have RP installed on your comp - you can download a free version from HERE. ^^ Hope you like!

AHH and I almost forgot -> BONNIE - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUU GIRLIE!!!! Really hope you're enjoying your special day! ^^ It's been a while since we've had a chat but hehe...don't worry I haven't forgotten that I still need to answer your email. ^^

*looks at time* GAWD I can't believe I've been sitting here for over an hour trying to write this entry. LOL I really should NOT watch T&T stuff when I'm blogging man - they're WAY TOO distracting! Ahhh I almost forgot how good this debut show was though -> so many lil 'segments' AND wakakakakaka T&T looked like TWINS!!!! KA-WA-II!!! Hang on...let me screencap so you guys can see for yourself...mmmm...

See what I mean?!?! Black suit, white top, same colour hair (<- v. rare!), same skin tone (?!) *heart heart HEART yum yum YUM* Now if only I could trade places with my brother RIGHT NOW and go raid that unofficial Johnny shop in HK again. XD GAH Bro is SO DAMN LUCKY!!!! He flew to HK last night and is gonna be over there for 2 1/2 weeks. ^^;;;;; BUT BUT BUUUUTTTTT....he absolutely REFUSES to go vist the SINO CENTRE to pick me up some goodies. grrrrr....EVEN when I asked him oh so nicely as well -SOME BROTHER HE IS!!!!!! LOL but then I don't blame him I mean although he's like the Johnnys (their music that is!) at the end of the day it'll prob be hella embarassing for him - a guy - to walk into one of those places. ^^;;;;; Hmmm but saying that...I DO have 2 1/2 weeks to bug him some more...XD XD XD MAYBE if I bug him enough he'll eventually give in?!??!

My mum has been driving me up the wall the past week or so ...she's always had a problem with me spending excessive amount of time in front of the computer and online but this past week she's been especially pissy about it - giving me evils, making sarcastic comments whenever I'm online and >< sometimes even checking up on me at like 2-3 in the morn! GAH for godsake I'm not a child anymore!!!! So mmm...basically - in case any of you were wondering that's partly the reason why I haven't been on msn at all, why I've been even worse with emails and why I haven't spent much time on forums either... I'm kinda hoping this is just temporary pissy-off-ness from her but if it's not....then GAAHHHH I need to try and come up with a good plan to get round her and FAST....GUYS, SOS SOS ---> HEEELLPPPP ~~~

ANYWAYSSSSS....BIRTHDAY BOYYYYY!!!!!! (YES! Takizawa I'm talking to YOOOUUU!!!) - where the heck are yoooouuuuu?!?!?! Why the heck haven't you updated your Takiren yoooo?!?! DUDE YOU NEED to tell us how your BIG DAY went!!!! Ahhh can't believe he hasn't updated yet - I mean surely he can't have gotten *that* plastered that he's still recovering?! If he is then DAMN that must've been one heck of a night XDXDXD Tsuba on the other hand HAS updated his 283 (ahhh the poor thing STILL has hayfever?! -> Get Well SOON Tsuba!!!) but..BUT he didn't mention ANYTHING AT ALL about his aikata's bday!!! Tsuba - you ebil boy YOU!!! YOU KNOW we're all dying to know!!!! *whack* So mmm I guess it really is now down to birthday boy - Come on Takizawa PLEASE don't disappoint us TxT-hungry fans!!! - but you know....I kinda do have a BAD feeling that he'll do the same as Tsuba -> he'll keep his trap well and truly ZIPPED UP and not reveal a THING! I mean remember Tsuba's bday from last year?! We waited, waited AND WAITED for something...anything but in the end...NOTHING (nothing we didn't already know that is!)....well not till they went on Ms, Utaban...etc...to promote Serenade (muwahahha...Nakai's gift! XD)- it was only then did they kinda talk about Tsuba's bday. *sigh* well...at least..there's still hope...at least we know there some TxT appearances coming up bery bery soon! kyaa TAMORI-SAN, NAKAI, TAKA-SAN (& KKs if T&T go on DK again...PLEASE PLEASE PLLLEAASSSEEE get T&T on DK again!) - GANBARIMASU!!! We're counting on you guys to squeeze some juicy gossip from that naughty pair ^^ - oh and of course don't forget to tease the heck out of them whilst you're at it!!!! (ahhhh....LOVE IT when ppl tease TxT about their relationship - they always get soooo embarassed! XD XD XD KA-WA-II!!!!) But...seriously...whatever happened...whatever they got up to that evening...- I hope Takki did have a good time and throughly enjoyed himself with Tsuba (and whoever else was there!) - I mean afterall - he DESERVES it after working so hard for the past...past...gawd knows how long (year?!) and also for all the work he has coming up...

Speaking of which - just over a month till 'Kamen' is released!! WOOOHOOO!!! And after seeing that EXTREMELY KAKKOII pic (GAWD I *HEART* their hair sooo much in that pic!!!) -which *might* be one of the front covers-I'm even more psyched about it - Jenn - thanks so much for posting it up and sharing!!! - Ahh I hope everyone who can HAS pre-ordered themselves a copy of the single now ...oh and whilst I'm on about ordering stuff. Remember that JD Takki did for 24HRTV last year - "Chichi no umi, Boku no sora"?!?! -Well....IT'S BEING RELEASED ON DVD AND you can now PRE-ORDER it from CdJapan (Credit to Tsubalicious @ JC for info) Please follow link below...

*yvie whips out credit card...yvie stares at everyone rolling their eyes at her...* Yah I know I know - I KNOW I've already got a copy but LOL I'm still gonna pre-order this dvd anyways. *ahem* & in my defence -> the copy I downloaded wasn't exactly great and...Yvie needs a clearer version in order to enjoy Takki in all his lovely-ness in the JD! Plus I want to see the extras too...whatever they are. *fingers crossed* it's some sort of backstage footage thang! ^^

One more thing before I round this off - A BIG thank you to Mr. no 155 - amaranth - who brought a smile to my face by leaving the following comment on Takki over at Jdorama.com ....

... "he is a good actor. Period" Ahhh...URESHII - I know it's such a tiny/simple comment - but am still so happy - cos well it's not everyday that you get a GUY saying something like that about Takki now do you?!?!

P.S - if anyone wants to see that tiny tiny 'SEXY CAT' clip - email me and I'll send my yahoo briefcase login details ^^

Not really in the mood to write anything interesting/funny at the moment but I kinda said I would post up the winning clip today so here I am (although erm...by the time most of you see the links it'll be Sunday! ^^;;;;)...First things first though....
