[Recital] Hideaki Takizawa Recital 2006
The rumors had been flying for a couple of days, and now the announcement is all over the Japanese newspapers and on johnnys-net.
Hideaki Takizawa will star in a recital - another stage show. It will take place at the
Nissay Theatre from September 5-28, 2006. Most of the time there will be two shows per day, for a total of 37 shows. Tickets are 11,000 yen each. Deadline for fan club balloting is July 29, 2006.
This recital is something completely different from Takizawa Enbujou. This time, it's all about Takki's life story. Even though he's only 24 years old now, he has been in JE since he was 13, and he's done a lot in that period. He was picked out very early to become a major idol. If anyone has V6's first concert video "Live for the People", Takki (Tsubasa was there too) got a ton of camera time for a new chibi Junior. It progressed to the point where he became the leader of Johnny's Junior. He was in dramas, variety shows, you name it. I don't know what kind of scope the story will cover...and we all know that there will be "embellishments"...but we now know why he was in Las Vegas a few months ago!
[CD single release] "Ho! Summer"
Release date: August 9, 2006

At the rate they're going, I think that "Ho! Summer" might be it for 2006. The solo concert & recital run during pretty much the same time period. I can't see them turning around that fast to do a unit album & concert tour in October/November, but hey, the Japanese geinokai are workaholics by necessity. I wouldn't be surprised if they *do* manage it somehow.
However, I hope they'll put a lot, if not all, of their energy into TxT's 5th anniversary in 2007!
