THE TACKEY & TSUBASA PIMP POST

All linksall links open in a new window, so click away. This post is long and perhaps image-intensive. Beware if you use a 56k connection!
Here you will find PVs and live preformances and concerts and dumb quirky things that have made me love T&T a lot. Why, this post is public so that you can tell all of your friends about it and introduce them to T&T. :) That and NEWS and KAT-TUN and even K8 make cameos as backup dancers. It's cute.
T&T is married. Really.
LONG STORY SHORT: Johnny says they will debut at age 20 as solo artists. Takki campaigns to get everyone (aka fans) to get them to debut as a unit. It works, probably because Takki is Johnny's favorite. Oh yeah. Yamapi used to call them mom and dad. ..aw.
01-06: Tackey & Tsubasa, 07 & 09: Imai Tsubasa, 08 & 10: Takizawa Hideaki
debut mini-album: Hatachi: Nine tracks in all with two solo tracks each. I recommend . . . well, for solo songs, I'm quite fond of Ki.Se.Ki. and Get Down. They debuted on 09/11 so track 04 is a tribute to what happened in NYC (The world will never forget . . . ). Album is called Hatachi because they were to debut at the age of twenty. And they did. PVs and whatnot will be below! Anyway, I adore the song epilogue. So pretty. Um. It's actually about T&T's friendship and how they're graduating from the Juniors, so it's been a song of theirs before they released the album. Apparently in a concert before ther debut, Tsubasa cried because it was during the time where they still believe they were going to debut apart. Seriously. Awwwwwwww.
***2wenty 2wo: Their album names are creative. 2004 album, 2wenty 2wo. They were both twenty-two. My favorite happens to be Diamond, which is kind of mad awesome with the effects on the Harucon DVD (below!) but I really like the sound of a lot of the songs on this album. Again, two solo tracks each. For those, I like both of Tsubasa's & Futari no Yoru better than Kaze for Takki.
Hitonatsu no. . . : Wanna be free? Wanna be cool? Blah blah motion deee~ This song is way catchy. And it's cute. From the Yume Monogatari single.
Imai Tsubasa - Kaze no Uta: Tsubasa's song from the Yume Monogatari single. Loves ittt.
Imai Tsubasa - 1Day, 1Night: This is a rip from Music Station or Shounen Club. I'm thinking MS. There is a better version from his live DVD floating around, probably. I can't be bothered to find it. ♥
To be, or not to be: Was on their first single, which by the way, had the most adorable cover ever. So feel good!
PVs?! What PVs? Yume Monogatari is so much fun and One Day, One Dream is cute, and Kamen is worth it because of the fingerpainting. Oh yeah. And there Ki.Se.Ki where Takki gets himself nice and wet. Um, what? Then there is Venus which is kind of cracky and True Heart which is adorable. Oh yeah. And Sotsugyo? Worst PV ever. Why did I upload it?
True Heart
Get Down: See Tsubasa flail dance!
Ki.Se.Ki: See Takki get drenched with water. This was made when he was doing that Taiyou asfjklsadfjal whatever drama because this was also the ED song to it. I never did finish watching it.
Sotsugyo ~sayonara wa ashita no tame ni: Worst PV ever. ...
***Yume Monogatari: Imo, the best T&T PV ever. There are boas. And sunglasses. And sparkly coats. Takki and Tsubasa are cute at the same time and they flail around on stage and generally look like they're having a blast. Also, another amazing song live. :D
One Day, One Dream: OP to Inuyasha. SNOW. It's cutee. :)
Serenade: First, Tsubasa has these absolutely gorgeous intense eyes. Second, he looks so good with that black hair. Third, Takki is growing his nice mullet out in this PV. And it might clash a little with the red jackets. The song is a little long, but it's decent in general. They dance with long poles that double as microphones, and Tsubasa has a pimped out fedora. I love Andalucia.
***Kamen: I like this PV because they fingerpaint their faces and take eachother's masks off wai dramatically. I like the song too, really. This is the first T&T PV I saw and possibly the first T&T song I heard.
Venus: This PV is crack. Their dance is funny and there's a bunch of ethnic people dancing. It's catchy though. And it sounds like they're saying "penis" instead of "venus". 8D.
01-10: Tackey & Tsubasa, 11-15: Imai Tsubasa, 16-20: Takizawa Hideaki
So you want live performances? These are fun because even if you don't like T&T, you get to see Jr. members backdancing (ie: Yamapi, Toma, KAT-TUN--). SO EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE T&T YOU SHOULD DOWNLOAD THESE TO STARE AT THE BACKGROUND AND LOL AT YOUR FAVORITE JE BOY, OKAY? You might spot a baby Ryo, too.
2001: Medley (Trouble Mountain, 1Day 1Night, Real DX): There is KAT-TUN. ON ANOTHER NOTE. Lol. Takki has the most awkward bowl haircut ever. I really like all the songs in this medley. And you get to see Takki rock out with a red sparkly microphone stand and Tsubasa pretend to play the synth. It's cute~
***2002: Real DX@ Last Jr. Concert: At their last concert as juniors, T&T performed this song. really like Takki's costume. On the main stage, Toma dances behind them in a yellow sparkly longsleeve shirt. Yamapi is out on that platform in the middle of the audience doing his own thing with a sparkly purple open jacket. Love the song so so so so much.
2003.05.11: Real DX@ Shounen Club: At Shounen Club! KAT-TUN BACKS THEM UP. In their pink and black waiter outfits or whatever. They also do this dance sequence in the beginning.
***2005: Medley (Slave of Love, Get Down)@ Shounen Clun (Imai Tsubasa): The Get Down dance here isn't nearly as flaily as it is in the PV. Tsubasa's kind of matured and stuff. And I like the medley. He looks good dancing. Tsubasa is so underrated. ):
2003: Ki.Se.Ki. & Get Down@ J-Sport: SEE A GLIMPSE OF JIMMY MACKEY. :D
2003: To be, or not to be@ J-Sport: KAT-TUN backdances. Orange frills. I adore this song. :D
***2004: One Day, One Dream@ Dreamboy: This is adorable. Takki sings One Day, One Dream all by himself (Tacchon, Maru, & Yasu do the music) & Tsubasa shows up. Takki is the biggest spazz in the world. So adorable. D: T&T knows the way to a fangirl's heart. And there is Kanjani8. And who doesn't love some Yasu?
2004: 2wenty 2wo Medley (Pride the END, Yume Monogatari): No one that I recognize backdances. BUT YUME MONOGATARI. That song = ++++++++++++++++
2003: Yume Monogatari@ SC: This was the ending song for this Shounen Club. KAT-TUN ends up doing it. NEWS ends up doing it. Um. If they are NEWS yet. I saw the KKKitty part of them anyway. This file plays for me a little bit wonky.
2003: Balance (Takizawa Hideaki): I've only ever seen Takki do this song with KAT-TUN backing him up. Um. Jin kind of sings and Koki and Maru kind of rap. IT'S GOOD WATCH IT I LIKE IT AND I LIKE TAKKI AND IF YOU LIKE KAT-TUN OR TAKKI OR NEITHER THEN YOU SHOULD WATCH TOO. I'm running out of things to say.
Medley (LOVE&TOUGH, Kaze, Yume Monogatari): So this file is totally wonked up and I have no idea when it was recorded. ..sorry. :|
2002/3: Circle (Takizawa Hideaki): Takizawa Hideaki & Yamshita Tomohisa song! Yamapi kind of raps. And KAT-TUN backdances.
***2004: Serenade@ MSSL: Music Station Super Live. THIS IS TO SHOW YOU THE KIND OF FANGIRL YOU SHOULDN'T BE. Lol at the girl who grabs Tsubasa and doesn't let go. It's actually a really nice preformance. They start on the top of these huge towers. And when the cameras are far back--it looks pretty amazing.
2005: Kamen@ MS: T&T look really intense here. Like they're both going to beat me up.
I have 2 here. At least I think it's two. For the Hatachi concert, I think the first part is T&T and the second part is their last concert as Johnny Jrs. Which means that there are a whole bunch of your faves running around, except they're about half the size they are now. I'm pretty sure Ryo is there because I think I saw him and keyboard smashed so bad that I shut down the computer. Mostly because he was like a whole, like, you know, 2 feet tall or whatever. And adorable. And stuff.

Hatachi Con: First part is HatachiCon, second part is their last concert as Jrs. Second, KAT-TUN is there. And probably other Jrs but I only went through and screencapped quickly. Oh yeah, during one of Takki's solos they lift him up in the air. This is the concert where they do their last ballad and rain pours all over them. WORTH IT BECAUSE OF THE JR CONCERT, AT LEAST. In which Takki has a pajama party with the baby jrs. Awk.

***Harucon: Kame & Jin show up to sing a Dreamboy song and to backdance for Tsubasa's Get Down. But seriously. T&T's energy is absolutely crazy. If I could go to a JE concert, I would go to one of theirs because they seem like so much FUN and they look like they're having so much fun. It's so good. Seriously. And I haven't watched this concert lately, but when they do Yume Monogatari, everyone sings along and shout their names and aklsdfjasfkljas. THEIR CONCERTS ARE THE BEST EVER. WATCH IT. I UPLOADED IT FOR YOU. IF YOU DO NOT DL ANYTHING ELSE, DL THEIR CONCERTS OK. Oh yeah. And Diamond is pretty much amazing like a lot and I like the effects they did to it in this concert. That and for that song, their costumes are SO classy. SO CLASSY. So nice. I love that song and their costumes and the effects and asdklfjsadfaslksfjasd. Takki also does magic tricks. Use HJSplit, mmkay?
ONE LAST PICTURE SPAM. See them as lol-omg-wtf-tard children. No, they were not as cute as Ryo. Believe me. See them slightly older with SUBARU. And then we go onto pictures of them with their boy harem/children/the-JE-boys-that-everyone-likes-atm. And then recent photoshoots from Winkup (May 2006). IN WHICH CASE YOU SHOULD THANK kimbles and boys-paper because those are the best photoshoots I've seen in a while for T&T. I wish they would have a photoshoot like..together.
01-04: Lol ugly babies, 05-14: w/ boy harem, 15-17: Imai Tsubasa, 18-20: Takizawa Hideaki
Just a bunch of tiny clips that don't really fit in anywhre else. SOME OF THESE ARE LIKE WAI FUNNY OKAY.
***Aishiteru yo: On a previous Shounen Club, Takki was supposed to do what these cards said. One wanted him to say "Aishiteru yo" to the camera. But he just threw it on the ground and didn't do it. Shige confronts him but Takki, clearly, thinks it's embaressing. Shige does it. Takki tries to get Tsubasa to do it, thinking Tsubasa won't. But Tsubasa is very manly because of his new haircut and does it easily. Takki tries to do it and fails so badly that he falls to the ground.
***Run Run Run :): First duet T&T ever sang together. Omggggggg.
Ero ero Dance #3 (Takizawa Hideaki): Takki gets all on Kame and Jin tries to get in on the action.
***Engrish, but not quite Jinglish (Takizawa Hideaki): IN AMERICA. At Disneyland.
Foot Massage: They make it look painful. D:
Chu Chu Chu (Takizawa Hideaki): Yamapi joined JE because he fangirled Takki. Now Takki fangirls him and tries to kiss him. Yamapi freaks out. Does Takki succeed?
Olympus Camera CM (Takizawa Hideaki): I'd buy an Olympus camera just because Takki endorses it.
Milk CM (Takizawa Hideaki): YEAH, IDK BUT IT IS LOL.
Dreamboy 2004 (clip) (Takizawa Hideaki): I'm pretty sure this is the funny part of dreamboy with the black guy in the box and the statue and the water and--but I'm not sure. BUT DOWNLOAD IT.
***No one loves Koki (Takizawa Hideaki): Jin hooks arms with Takki. Takki does not want to hook arms with Jin and throws him off. JIN TRIES AGAIN. Takki throws him off again. Takki then links arms with Kame and looks very satisfied with himself (I would be too, if I had a boy harem D:). Kame knows that after the show, Jin is going to beat him up. Koki tries to make everything better by hooking arms with Jin. Jin does not want Koki and smacks him. No one loves Koki. D:
So who do I credit all of this stuff with? I don't know. Let's go with Jpopsuki for the concerts and all the Kamen crap I have. Let's go with http://takizawa-hideaki.net and http://imai-tsubasa.com and the blogs of the girls who run them because dude, without them, I would have no T&T news, and they're so damned dedicated, it's crazy. Uh, Google because I used it a lot to search for Tackey & Tsubasa, Takizawa Hideaki and Imai Tsubasa. And all the websites that are listed on like. The first five pages. Lots of love to 2wenty-2wo because I've picked up random files over the last year from both of those places.
All screencaps by me, whatever. All thumbnails by me. All images gotten from God-knows-where. Someone uploaded humongous zip files on 2wenty-2wo a while ago and I stole them and that's what I used. O ya, and there's Hadaka no Johnny's for some of the newer scans, as well as boys-paper. Uh, little thumbnail things do not reflect the actual size & resolution of the video files. They're smaller than actual size because a lot of the stuff I've uploaded isn't amazing quality. And if anyone looks like they have jaundice it's because I was playing around with the color balance. MY BAD, OKAY.
Ok that's too bad because this post is like two years old and I am too lazy to fix links and stuff. ):
NOW PIMP THIS OUT TO YOUR F-LIST. Please spread T&T love. :)♥ YOU CAN HELP MEEE. I uploaded lots of stuff, right? Don't let it all go to waste.
IN WHICH CASE YOU SHOULD ALL THANK nezumishi FOR UPLOADING EVERYTHING AND THE WORLD. No thumbnails or anything because Photoshop is making my eyes fall out. Her thread is here.
The Other Kiseki PV (Takizawa Hideaki): Takki runs around in a wet white shirt. Cool.
***Making of Kamen PV: Takki and Tsubasa play GIANT JENGA. Tsubasa is the biggest cheater ever but who cares because Takki flails like no other and freaks out. Aksdjfsdlfja. Omg this is so cute. ):
Yume Monogatari@ Dreamboy04 (Takizawa Hideaki): TAKKI DOES YUME MONOGATARI. PINK BOA LEPOARD PRINT. ETC.
To be, or not to be@ Dreamboy04 (Takizawa Hideaki)
Fool on a Hill (Takizawa Hideaki): And I quote: With the Satomi Hakkenden cast. See Takki be incredibly smart and amazing and adorable. Does that mean Shoon is there? Cuz he's cute.
