^ i think JE screwed up with transitioning to debut with Tackey big time. it was a "too late" type of ordeal. he was huge in the late '90s (with his peak probably at "Majo no Jouken"), but he made his debut at 2002. by then, we could already see popularity shifts to YamaPi/Akakame in the Junior era.
oh well, i don't think Tackey minds it too much anyway.

he was supposed to debut solo, but he wanted to debut with Tsubasa. so, he got his way in the end.

even if they're not that active as a unit.
Akakame/Akame - i think they just grew apart; people change. but, i still think they care about each other, being in the same group & all. the ~love~ is just not that obvious.

KT member ai is not that obvious, but it's there.
i can do part 2 over the weekend~
