You guys!!
You guys totally understand how cool skulls are, don't you♪
Of course♪(>_<)
That's what I thought when I read your comments(><)
Actually, I bought a skull necklace today♪
I like it a lot(*^-^*)
I was organizing the pictures in my photoalbum today I came across a nostalgic photo...
It was a picture of
The first time I did "Beast On!!"(><)
Iya!I miss it!!
I really miss it...
The first time I did my transformation pose I wasn't good at it at all, and I remember working really hard on it^^;
"Taigre!Power of the beast!
Beast On!"
Ah~, so nostalgic♪(*^。^*)
Ah, I want to transform into Blue again(><)
"Waza ga irodoru tairin no hana," "Fantastic Technique!!" "Geki Blue!!"
It's the best!!
I'm gonna go watch Geki Rangers now!!

2008年06月22日(日) 22時31分
Good evening♪♪
For the first time in my life!!
I bought a planner!(><)
Yay♪♪
Up until now I had done all my scheduling on my cellphone, but it became impossible to keep up^^;
It's pink!!
I think!!!!!(smile)
Why pink, you say?
I just felt like it!!!!(smile)
What do you think?^_^;
ps:my thumb is bent way too far.
Discovery!!!
2008年06月26日(木) 18時05分
Everyone!!
I found something!!
Shinpei!!!
I wanna goー(><)
And I want to say to the shop-owner、
"My name is Manpei! And I have a younger twin brother named Shinpei!"!!
This is a store in Sendai(>_<)
Please go and see it♪♪
I wash stuff
2008年06月30日(月) 0時18分
Good evening♪
Today I cooked for myself♪(*^-^*)
The menu for today was mentaiko pasta♪♪
It's kind of odd for me to say this about my own cooking, but it was delicous(><)
It was so tasty that I forgot to take a picture^^;
So...
Presenting for the first time!!!
Me doing the dishes!! (smile)
My friends often say to me,
"My image of you is of someone who doesn't wash things", but I do(>_<)
ps. Those are the clothes I wear around the house(^^;
Crows Otaku♪♪
2008年07月02日(水) 23時26分
Good evening☆
Take a look at my bathroom...
Crows!!!!!!It's full of figurines from that show ~(>_<)
I've liked Crows for a long time, and I've read the manga and seen the movie~♪
Do you guys understand how I feel about it?
I also do laundry
2008年07月05日(土) 0時27分
Good evening♪
You guys!!
I'm so glad that you understand my Crows hobby(T_T)
From now on I am going to work hard to collect more Crows figurines♪(><)
Iya~, it was hot today...
I really thought I was gonna die...
I have this bad habit of chaning my t-shirt even when I sweat just a little bit, and I changed my shirt 4 times today(smile)
It's weird, isn't it(^^;
Yeah, I know...
If I don't do the laundry before I go to bed the next days laundry is a pain, so I always do it before I sleep(>_<)
But my friends say,
"I don't imagine you as someone who does the laundry."
Is that so?
Just what kind of an image do I have!?
I am a 22 year old independant person so I take care of myself~!!(smile)
I'm working hard like I should!
Today's picture is proof of that(*_*)
Guys, please be my witnesses!!(smile)
Fireworks~☆★
2008年07月11日(金) 0時49分
It's been a while(><)
It's been hot lately, ne…(*_*)
Really...
I've been completely exhausted…^^;
Are you guys okay?
Be careful of heat exhaustion f(^^;
Iya~, I really noticed that it's summertime!!
When you think of the summer, you think of the ocean, festivals, and fireworks, right!?
So today I did some fireworks♪♪
They were sparklers~♪(*^-^*)
But it was over in just 2 seconds…(TT)
Ha~, it's always hard to play with sparklers...
Next time I'll play with them longer!!! (smile)
Everyone, please try out some sparklers(o^v^o)
Letter of Complaint
2008年07月13日(日) 20時52分
Good evening☆
"Letter of Complaint" has ended(><)
Iya, I was really nervous!!
It's the first time I've done a reading.
In this unfamiliar terretory, the script shook in my nervous hands as I waited for the show to start...
But while I was reading it, it got to be a lot of fun and I really enjoyed myself♪
A lot of people came to see it and that was really encouraging for me.
Everyone, thank you as always~(TT)
This performance of "Letter of Complaint."
I think I was able to absorb a lot as an actor.
Really.
I am truly happy to have been able to experience a performance like this.
I'm still an amateur, but from now on I want to take on a lot of different roles, absorb a lot, and grow as an actor.
And, through performance, I want to communicate my feelings of thankfulness to everyone.
I'm not much, but from now on I am going to work hard to live up to your expectations.
And thank you to Aida-san and Ayumi-san, who gave me so much advice.
It was very inspiring.
It was so much fun.
"Letter of Complaint"(o^v^o)
Tongue Twisters
2008年07月17日(木) 23時21分
Hello☆
Everyone!!
Thank you for all the comments(><)
From now on I'll be working hard to live up to your expectations!!
It's a promise(o^v^o)
Iya, it was really hot today(~_~;)
I've got summer sickness…m(__)m
Are you guys alright?
Please make sure you're getting enough water.
At lunchtime today we started filming for TTTV(*^-^*)
It was fun to film with Shinpei after such a long time!!
We hung out, walked around, and played games in the park♪
We had the most fun doing tongue twisters(><)
Can you guys do tongue twisters?
Alright, let's try one.
"Kaeru pyoko pyoko mi pyoko pyoko,
Kaeru pyoko pyoko mi pyoko pyoko,
Awasete pyoko pyoko mu pyoko pyoko"
Could you say it?
If you could say it, then you're a genius.
I always ended up saying,
"Kaeru poyoko poyoko mi poyoko poyoko,
Kaeru poyoko poyoko mi poyoko poyoko,
Awasete poyoko poyoko mu poyoko poyoko."
Why?
Why!?
One of these days I'm gonna be able to say it!! (smile)
It looks like it's gonna be hot tomorrow too(*_*;
Be careful of heat stroke!
When you go outside, wear a hat☆
I'm a game otaku
2008年07月18日(金) 21時35分
Ora!!
Lately I've been really addicted to video games(><)
I hadn't played a shooting game in a long time!!
I'm addicted!!
But I can't clear it, no matter how many times I play~(TT)
Today, I spent close to 3000 yen...
I spent too much money...
I will clear every level next time!!(>_<) For sure!!

Hello(*^O^*)
Manpei here, having lost a lot of weight from this summer heat(><)
Iya, it's hot today too, ne...
It's the summer~!!**
When it's this hot I want to go to the ocean or the pool♪
But I don't have the time(T_T)
Actually, two weeks ago,
We started shooting for Cafe Kichijoui, so I've been filming almost everyday(o^v^o)
My character's name is
"Minakawa Hifumi"
A self-styled genius pastry chef.
Having never played a suspicious character like this, I think it's pretty interesting, so please watch♪
Yosh!!
I'm going to have fun performing again today(*^-^*)
ps - It looks like Oliver is also tired from all this heat (smile)
Oliver, Chiroru, Mei♪♪
2008年07月28日(月) 1時08分

I got some dogs(><)
Just kidding (smile)

Aren't they cute?
Their names are Chiroru and Mei(^_-)~☆
They're really a de-stressor, ne(o^v^o)
Oliver is too, right? (smile)
Yeah, he is♪♪
You guys relax too, okay(*^。^*)
It's hard...making cakes
2008年07月30日(水) 22時57分
Good evening♪
I had filming again today(o^v^o)
I made a lot of cakes and had a lot of fun♪♪
Because my role this time is of a genius patissier, I have to learn how to make beautiful cakes every day(><)
Making cakes...
Is really hard f(^^;
Do you guys bake cakes?
If any of you do, please teach me some tricks!!
Thanks to this drama, I am going to become a man who's good at making cakes!!(*^-^*)
ps - Today's picture is of me as Hifumi.
Actually, my hair went back to black again☆
Can you tell??
(*^-^*)
2008年08月02日(土) 22時30分
Good evening☆
Thank you for all of your comments☆
It looks like you are all looking forward to seeing "Minakawa Hifumi"(><)
I'm gonna live up to your expectations!!
Thank you for all the information on making cakes, too♪
I want to try making desserts at home too(*^-^*)
I've made a cake once before, when I was in middle school☆I remember it being really difficult and working hard(o^v^o)
I'm off tomorrow!!
Jutta, Takuya, who I performed with in Lost Days, my pro-baseball player friend, and I are going to go to the beach or the pool or something(*^。^*)
We're gonna make summer memories♪♪
I'm posting a picture.
It's my eye...
If it makes you feel sick, please look away...
PS -- Actually, I'm wearing eye-liner(smile)
☆Pool☆
2008年08月03日(日) 23時35分
Good evening☆
It was as hot as a desert today…(*_*)
Bu-t!!
But it's a real man who gets out in the sun on a day like this!!
Today I went to the pool with Jutta, Takuya, and Shun☆★\(^-^)/
It was the first time I'd been to the pool this year♪
It was so much fun(o^v^o)
We went on the water slider, played volleyball in the wave pool, floated around on some innertubes♪
It felt just like a day off should(*^-^*)
We talked about goin to the ocean the next time we have the day off(*^。^*)
I'm looking forward to it♪♪
Do you guys go to the pool or the beach??
I have filming again tomorrow☆ I'll work hard all day!!
I'm posting a pic♪
It's a "men of summer" kind of feeling, isn't it? (smile)
Hobby --> tooth brushing♪
2008年08月05日(火) 0時16分
Good evening☆
Thanks for the comments(*^。^*)
You guys have lots of summer memories, ne☆
Don't you feel like you have a lot of summer memories especially?
It is just me?^^;
I couldn't go to a festival last year, so I think I'm gonna go this time♪
I'm gonna wear a yukata(*^-^*)♪
Summer's not over yet!! I'm gonna make a lot of memories(o^v^o)
By the way, I recently got an electric toothbrush from someone working on the drama with me♪
An electric toothbrush...
Wow.
It's the best!!
I have always liked brushing my teeth, so it's perfect♪ (smile)
I brushed my teeth for about 15 minutes while I took a bath today(><)
Because
"To a celebrity, teeth are everything"!
Today's picture is of my electronic toothbrush.
It's my treasure (smile)
Beautiful Yokohama♪
2008年08月08日(金) 15時18分
Hello♪

My image
2008年08月13日(水) 20時45分
Good evening☆
I have shooting for Cafe Kichijouchi again today(*^-^*)
Actually, I want to ask you guys something...
What kind of image do you have of me? What kind of person do you think I am?
If you had to choose a color for me, what would it be?
I've been wondering recently what people think of me.
I really want to know!
I'm sorry for asking a difficult question...
I'll be waiting for your comments(#^.^#)
I'm posting a pic☆
Doesn't my face look thinner?
(*^-^*)
2008年08月16日(土) 1時42分
Good evening☆
Everyone, thank you for all the comments(*^。^*)
Of course, I read them all.
My image --> Serious, kind, hates to lose, an airhead, etc...
Airhead!?
Yeah...
People actually do call me an airhead or a dummy or that I'm not all there...(smile)
Colors are blue, black, and orange. My favorite colors(^^ゞ
Reading your comments, I felt your image of me was close to the one I have.
Is this the way people see me?
That's a really hard question to ask.
But I'd been wanting to know for a while, so I thought I'd just ask(*_*)
I'm sorry for asking such a strange thing.
From now on I want to show you many different shades of myself,
And present to you a new "Takagi Manpei."
I want to live up to your expectations.
The way I can best express to you my gratitude,
Is to study a lot, take on a lot of roles, and satisfy you as an actor.
I'm not much, but please keep supporting me from now on(*^-^*)
I included a pic☆
My hobby, tooth brushing (smile)
