Wentz is a model now :swink

Also an actor, he was recently at the Cannes Film Festival where he caught the eye of an editor from a top French fashion magazine. Wentz will appear in the October issue of the magazine Jalouse. He made his modelling debut at the age of four and later became a regular on an NHK kid's show. At the age of nine, he appeared on the famous New Year spectacle "Kohaku Uta Gassen" as a backing dancer for pop starlet Moritaka Chisato. He formed WaT with Koike Teppei in 2002, and the duo performed on the streets of Tokyo for three years before landing a recording contract with a major label. They have won two major newcomer awards this year. Though he is the second son of a Japanese mother and German-American father, he's got a lot of mileage from the fact that he's the only one in the family who has little to no English ability.

Eiji is friggin' adorable! Can't wait for the new single^^ I loved Hava Rava!

jeffycue 21st September 2006 08:39 AM

they're adorable to look at.. but their songs/voices are just ordinary.. there's nothing special IMO... they sound like ARASHI & w-inds.

hallelujah_united 21st September 2006 03:33 PM

^I share mostly the same thoughts, but I did like Hava Rava though. It was very catchy, and I liked the positive summery feel to it.

hmm.. i dont have hava rava... i just have the album....... care to share? hehehe

Chandrachan 24th December 2006 03:17 AM

So what type of music do WaT do? Are they like "Tackey & Tsubasa" or different?
I'm new to their music and I just wanted to know how they are like

jeffycue 24th December 2006 04:34 AM

typical cutesy songs... think ARASHI with guitars/acoustic

Chandrachan 24th December 2006 06:44 AM

^Oh... I guess cute boys sing cutesy songs...should I try them out? Maybe a song or two - their last single was suppose to be good so I'll try that out first

Larisa-chan 24th December 2006 07:16 AM

Eiji Wentz is freaking hot.

That is all. (I haven't even heard any of their music XD)

they're actually not for me to listen the whole day... but i like hearing some of their songs/voices from time to time.

p3ayu 16th April 2007 02:49 AM

I wonder is Eiji's (song for the new single that is) is going to be a kids song like before. It was really cute, but I would think he'd want to get back to more "grown up" music^^

BTW, does anyone have Eiji's song from the last single, Happy De Lucky?

rookies 16th January 2009 02:47 PM

I love some of their songs. And I think both guys are really cute and hot. ^^

We've stayed on the same page since 2006? o_O...

rookies 26th January 2009 10:20 AM

^ OMG, that video has nudity... Is that allowed here? :/

I remember seeing it, and laughing so hard. But I think it was foolish for them to expose themselves, nakedly on public TV. :/

Kaiouforever 26th January 2009 10:32 AM

Well, it's just their bum, so I don't know. And it's not really a hardcore video, just them going to the onsen. I figure if they show it on regular TV, it's okay to show here :P

I remember that video aired really late when it was shown, like at midnight or something. Probably because of the little bit of nudity.

And I always wondered which channel they aired it on. Let's hope it wasn't a Kids channel. :/

Kaiouforever 26th January 2009 07:19 PM

I doubt it, but you never know...it IS Japan after all xD

And some J-dramas have nudity in them too, and also some TV shows. -___-

I wonder why they don't censor, or cut those parts out.

Kaiouforever 28th January 2009 07:34 AM

But they censor their porn. o_O xD

rookies 28th January 2009 07:50 AM

I really hope the single isn't being released on the 25th. There's too many artists releasing on that day.

Ayumi, Ami Suzuki, Ai Otsuka, Hitomi Shimatani, etc. etc. -___-

Kaiouforever 28th January 2009 08:53 AM

But there are a lot of things being released on the 4th too...I think she has to release it sometime, so might as well be that day. =[

Tokyograph has a new article about Teppei:


Quote:

Teppei Koike stars in "Black Gaisha"

One of the many films recently unveiled by Asmik Ace is "Black Gaisha ni Tsutometerundaga, Mou Ore wa Genkai Kamoshirenai," the next effort from director Yuichi Sato ("Kisaragi"). Like the 2005 hit "Densha Otoko," the movie is based on a popular thread from internet forum 2channel that was later published as a book.

Teppei Koike stars as a 26-year-old NEET who has been living with his mother ever since dropping out of high school. After his mother dies, he sets out to get a job as a computer programmer, but with no real education or work experience, he winds up working for a "black gaisha," a term referring to a company that severely overworks its employees. Pushed to his limits, the naive young man is forced to grow as a person, with support and criticism from his fellow 2channel posters.

Koike's supporting cast includes model Maiko, Kei Tanaka, comedian Hiroshi Shinagawa, and Seiichi Tanabe. Filming starts on April 19, aiming for a theatrical release this coming winter.

We'll sing again together, so please look forward to it.

And this summer, we'll organize a fan-club event!
It will differ a little from a normal concert~

This summer, WaT will do their best~
Please look forward to it!

Everyone, we made you wait for a very long time.

Yes!
It's about WaT~~~~~~~.

Iya, it's awesome ne.
We always saw you asking about WaT, we made you wait so much.
Your messages encouraged us a lot.

2010 will be WaT's yeaaaaaarr.
Eh? We got a late start??

Yes, and the Golden Week just finished...
We're starting now, we're starting now (laughs)

Anyway, we're working hard in order to deliver you a beautiful song.
Yay yay yay \*o*/

Teppei-chan 7th June 2010 09:14 PM

It's good that they will appear on a show like the a-nation but I'm asking me why? I always thought that only artist from avex can appear at the a-nation.
But like I said I found it a good thing that they have the chance to sing there.

visionfactory 8th June 2010 12:18 AM

Yeah it's really weird, I think it's the first time for a non avex artist to perform in a-nation (avex-nation o_o)

but good for them! I hope we can catch their performance on DVD too

jiarongisme 8th June 2010 04:20 AM

Their recording and release label might be Universal Music but avex might be their management company so that's why they can appear on a-nation. :yes
