[Arashi/KT/T&T] The Television Weekly - 02/21-27/2009 - Memories with Takitsuba
Here's a multi-group quickie since I haven't really done much on other groups lately/for a very long while. I'm not sure if there were more pages to this because only the page with Arashi was scanned, but these are memories and impressions that all the members of Arashi and KAT-TUN have of Takki and Tsubasa.
Comments are love; enjoy!

Memories with Takitsuba
ARASHI
OHNO SATOSHI
In the past, after our lessons were over, Takki and I would take the train home together. There were times when a bunch of us Juniors went out to play together too. I've been to Tsubasa's home once before, but I don't really remember what we did (laugh). Recently I went and saw Tsubasa's solo concert. The way he danced so intensely was very cool. As for Takki? "You fly quite a lot~" (laugh).
AIBA MASAKI
With Takki, we've gone out for meals together and gone wakeboarding together. For a period of time, there was a point where I was almost like someone who lived at Takki's house too (laugh). I want us to go wakeboarding together again! I went out with Tsubasa-kun for meals often too, and we've watched professional baseball together. As fellow baseball fans, we got very very excited and watched the match intensely.
MATSUMOTO JUN
I used to go over to Tsubasa's home an extreme amount of times to play, though I don't really remember what exactly we used to do together. I hung out with Takki pretty often in the past too, but not at all lately. Recently, when I finally got to watch "Shinshun Takizawa Kakumei" after a long time, he said to me, "If we ever do a gathering or something I'll contact you". I'm looking forward to the possibility of getting an invitation phonecall from Takki!
NINOMIYA KAZUNARI
Though we don't really have any points of contact nowadays, to me, they were people I knew of since before I joined the jimusho, so they're daisenpais. At the time, it felt like they were practically "the central figures of Johnny's Jr." (laugh). I have memories of secretly thinking this way while getting to work together with them. But surprisingly Leader (Ohno) had entered the jimusho before them (laugh).
SAKURAI SHO
We're from the same generation, but because the two of them were my senpais by six months, there was a feeling of being doted on. I have an impression of the two of them always singing to songs with catchy choreography. They hyped up the crowd in concerts too. Then, Takki's doing a lot of the flying which I'm weak at (laugh) (Sakurai is not good with high places!), so I would like him to continue working hard without injuries from here onwards as well.
KAT-TUN
AKANISHI JIN
Takki-san often took me out to play. He also let me speak to him about work-related matters too... We've gone overseas together too. There were other things too, though this was about three years ago, we've had barbecue together. At the time, it was Takki, me and other friends, and the one who took care of everything was Takki. Gallantly cooking the meat for us, he's really someone who takes good care of other people.
TANAKA KOKI
I watched "Shinshun Takizawa Kakumei" the other day, but even though I said to Takki-san "Please email me!" I didn't get any emails at all (laugh). Please definitely contact me! That and Imai-san's sports car is very cool. Recently, I've learned by observing Imai-san and decided to get a classic car in gold!
UEDA TATSUYA
Just as I was doing a rehearsal for my current stageplay, I saw Takizawa-san after a long time, and I was very happy to be told "You've become adult-like". We haven't met face to face in the five years since we were given the chance to work together on stage. Because he has this presence of being an arm's length away, I have an impression of always getting doted on.
KAMENASHI KAZUYA
I was really taken care of by them both. I've eaten Italian food with Imai-san and played video games with him. Takizawa-san, I've gone to the sauna with. Because I took on the job of substituting for Takizawa-san's stageplay, we were together the next day, but I had spent the night at Takizawa-san's place the day before, and he even did my laundry for me (laugh). He's also good at cooking meals, a senpai who takes very very good care of others!
NAKAMARU YUICHI
They were both senpais who pulled me along. Takizawa-san would give specific advice like "It's better to do it like this" in a straightfoward manner, and I've learned all kinds of things from him. Thank you very much. As for Tsubasa-san, we backdanced for him back when KAT-TUN were still Juniors. I received a lot of stage experience from them and was truly taken care of.
TAGUCHI JUNNOSUKE
Because the current NEWS and KAT-TUN were given the opportunity to participate in Takizawa-san's and Imai-san's Junior concert, I have profound memories of it. Because Takki had supported everyone in Jrs. to that extent, when the two of them held their debut concert, it felt like the era was being moved. Everyone has debuted respectively now, so it feels lonely to have never stood on the same stage as the two of them since.
