I remembered when exactly I read the alert. It was last night when I was out with
nenekguru at Pacific Place's Fuji Film to buy an ISO 400 film for her new Lomo camera. I opened an e-mail and saw "Newsmail", which I immediately knew was from....
CDJapan. God bless them, I never buy from them anymore due to their cutthroat BOXED shipping cost which in turn also almost always gets my packages caught in customs. But I only get release notifications nowadays from them because I simply have no time to obsessive-compulsively monitor His Highness' activities on the World Wide Web as I used to anymore.
So, Newsmail can only mean two things. Either we're getting something Tackey & Tsubasa, or yet another Takizawa Hideaki solo thing, in which all this time I'm more hoping of the former. But guess what?
What the hell is going on boys?
And he keeps doing one whacked out "signature" musical after another too. And what I mean by "signature" is because he keeps attaching his name onto them!
sadame and I were once talking about it on Google Talk and we both agreed that they're all pretty much whacked since they didn't really have any clear or linear plot whatsoever. It's just a bunch of crazy Japanese things jumbled up into one. And the only one time he has a pretty clearly plotted out musical since Dream Boy... it's a story about his 24 years walking this Earth! *dies*
I've been holding my breath for a unit concert but damn, I don't see anything in the horizon so maybe I should stop holding my breath before I REALLY DIE.
This new solo single is called
シャ ラ ラ / 無限の羽 (yep, that first word is "Sha La La") ....yeah, I know right? LOL. Only Takki would name his own single "Sha La La" Thud. ....but even so!!!! I've went clickety-clack on
HMV yet again while my few previous purchases are still sitting on my display shelf intact and unopened in their plastic wrap.
I really need to crack open that 愛 革命 CD and actually listen to the song. Thud.
