Arigatou ^^ He looks so cute!! ^^:D

:D

I wonder why he's not appearing with Tsubasa this coming Fri on MUSIC STATION :(

^ yeah that is wierd? I don't know? maybe he's sick?

maybe I'm not sure :shrug

http://listentheworld.wordpress.com/...gram-20080801/

the 1st name on the list's Tsubasa's name

Yeah Imai Tsubasa - I don't know he 's maybe working on a drama or something..

maybe so or he could be performing a new solo song ?!

^That would be interesting if both guys were doing solos

I found out - Tsubasa will be making the following appearances to promote WWTP ‘08.
01 August @ 20:00 Music Station (TV Asahi)
03 August @ 18:00 Shounen Club (BS2)
05 August @ 18:00 Shounen Club (BShi)
10 August @ 18:00 Shounen Club (BS2)
12 August @ 18:00 Shounen Club (BShi)

from - http://tackey-tsubasa.net/

Is it to promote a dance?

actually Chandra , way before both guys came together to form their own duo , they were having some sorta solo careers on their own

I really have no clue on that sorry

hopefully we'll get more news about this cos it's a bit suspicious that only Tsubasa will be appearing alone & not with Tackey

really I never knew that - I see so they both became friends when they joined Jonnys

yeah you can say that although I know when they 1st met , their impression of each other weren't that good :laugh

it's nice to know that they're BFFs now

^ aw :love

It's a production of the World’s Wing Premium performances

Tsuabasa is gonna be dancing the Flamenco dance - wow he's a great dancer ^^
He's been training for a year and spent March in Spain

That's a really sweet picture :love
That's funny to hear - I wonder how they became friends ^^

ooh

yeah I remembered something about that was being mentioned a while ago

I saw the footage of Tsubasa doing the dance moves in Spain

my god :love

no wonder he's 1 of JE's top dancers cos before that he doesn't have that dancer look going on in him but after I saw the footage , I was like wow

^ yeah he loves to dance plus he's good at it too ^^

guess circumstances forced them to befriend each other haha

I always thought Tackey was the better dancer but after I saw the footage of Tsubasa , that perception of mine changed overnight

^ woow very cool.. where's tackey??

not sure I think he went MIA for a while

On vacation? There are pics of him on beach

ehh,...
where??
i wanna see it

it's in the Sept issue of Wink Up posted by Karen..

There's a map of hawaiian islands...
http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/8736/20990645fp7.jpg

yeah I think Tackey went on vacation

it looks like it hopefully both guys will come back & put out a new single soon

Koiuta is a nice song and nice tie-in for the drama, Osen!!
Why the sale wan't really good!? =(

The 2 T's singles & albums sales weren't really that good to begin with unfortunately :(

Their best selling single's Venus which clocked in at about 300K +

^ehh that's really sad...

ya it's

I don't know why that's the case . V6's sales are also like that too

must be the whole Avex Trax curse since both acts's music are under Avex

maybe if they were to switch to J Storm , J One , sales will improve ? I dunno

^ ahh your right I forgot about V6. I've always wondered why T&T's sales were so low too :( You would think they would do well with a great record label like Avex.

ohh icic.. thanks for this

maybe they dont get any big promotion like arashi, news or kattun?

idk why they aren't selling well either. they were HUGE as Johnny's Juniors (they were bigger than KAT-TUN at their Junior stage). but i guess JE didn't go the right directions with them. and they churn out the releases soooo slowly! they've only released 2 original albums in 6 years (also 1 mini-album & 1 best, but still!)

i think T&T's schedule don't match well with each other either. but they still insist on making music as a duo (which is cute, i have to say! :D). they were going to debut as solo artists, but wanted to stay a duo.

i really think Tackey would've made a good solo act since he was huge back in the day, but i just found it too cute that he told JE that he wanted to debut w/ Tsubasa. :heart i love T&T though, i can't imagine them apart. even though it's a pain to wait, they always make good pop music, imo!

yeah which's very ironic

I always thought all JE bands would sell well , apparently not

& referring to Irene's reply - yes I know , they only put out 10 singles so far in their 6th year :dead2

is there any reason/s why they take SO slow to put out new stuff ? :dead2

^perhaps both of them are busy doing their own things?
I don't know much about T&T and didn't know that they
only have 10 singles so far?

^ yupp
you can find their discography here

I guess since they also act in dodramas too

& yes they only put out 10 singles so far since their debut single To be, To be, Ten made To be which was released 5 years ago

they only released 1 single Kamen / Mirai Koukai 3 years ago somemore :dead2

except for '05 , in '03-'04 , '06-'07 , they have put out 2 singles in each year

Arigatou for the scans!! ^^
Hawaii looks so beautifull I wanna go there one day

I miss them so much...
Any updated news ??

http://www.nikkansports.com/entertai...05-391896.html
Drama Sp for Tackey though I dont understand :P

does anybody know what does it mean?

It's about T&T performing True Heart on 8/31 to a 24-hour TV program on Saving Earth if i'm not wrong

oowhh IC..
thanks for the translation..

Btw I've just downloaded some pvs and I like them more...:luv2

I dunno if they're avex artist..

They are under Avex but their agency is Johnny's entertainment

owhh..
is that like WaT too??

btw I've just downloaded SAMURAI and HO SUMMER PV.. awwww both of them are great songs

yeah you can say that Ryo

Just like V6 , T&T are signed to JE but their works are produced by avex trax

& I like the songs of Samurai & Ho ! Summer :yes

ICIC

I like them more now..

I'm collecting their PVs and almost complete.. I just dont have their first PV until serenade

have you seen Kamen ? it's a freaky video O_O

^ yeahh.. freaky...

I dont like it..
The worst coreography is X~dame.. LOOOOOOOOL

^The X DAME PV is so funny it made me laugh their hand movements while going "Dame Dame Dame Dame" ^^

th song is fun but the coreography like trash... Sorry
It doesnt match IMO

:roflmao

yeah Dame was like wtf & don't get me started on the CHEESY suits that the guys wore

I just saw the PVs of HO SUMMER and SAMURAI - I love SAMURAI Tackey looks so hot!! ^^

http://newshfan.livejournal.com/65858.html

according to http://never-ending-music-power.blogspot.com/ , "Also Tackey has had his first performance on Music Station of the song he will be releasing for his first solo single. It's called Ai Kakumei, and has a Latin sound to it."

the song's not bad but what's the heck with the "I love you , shake" ?

T_T

I never knew Tackey was gonna release a solo single wow latin sound - cool
That's funny "I love you Shake"

lol exactly funny lyrics man

but have to give Tackey credit for composing & writing the song as it sounds pretty good

now I want another new single from the 2 T's T_T

^ Congrats to him for the solo single doing so well! And Music station performance, I am excited!

definitely Venus (their best selling single to date somemore) , Yume no Monogatari (their 1st #1) , Ho ! Summer & most recently last year Koi Uta

the other A-side of Koi Uta which's called PROGRESS is a major bore imo

I think Tackey will do the whole I'm A Band Conductor dance moves again tomorrow :dead2

^ LOL, is that what he did in previous performances? Oh, I want to see!! ^^

yup he did that in his 1st live performance & it's quite CHEESY

you can download it via http://newshfan.livejournal.com/65858.html & he did the same exact dance moves in the Ai Kakumei PV too :dead2

^ Thanks for the link. ^^

Did the performance of Ai Kakumei air yet? I want to see it! ^^

I'm not sure , I don't think it's up for download yet , maybe later on or over the weekend

I saw the performance uploaded on Jpopsuki Tracker!!! But it's in ts format, such a big file. -___- I'll wait for youtube links.

me too

if not wait for some kind soul to upload the clips that's up for download

I found some really cool CM's on youtube. Looks like T&T did CM's for Nintendo Wii!!!

^LOL I saw the first one before, but not the second one. It sure looks hilarous. xD

By the way, wouldn't it be better to move to the senpai thread once this one will hit 500 posts?

Yeah, the first one is pretty funny.

Sure I guess, we could move the T&T discussion to the senpai thread once this thread hits 500 posts.

oh yes of course Aga , it's better that way anyway

So, when are they going to appear on Utaban?

If I can remember correctly, Utaban airs on Thursday Nights on Japanese TV.

Tackey will be appearing later on today in Utaban , it's already Thurs on my end
