Takeshi's Online Journal?

[jean]

Yeah, he caught my attention because of his on-line diary, not because his looks, there are loads of good looking guys about but looks alone doesnt do it for me....LOL
I knew his presence since he first started but it had no affect and I came across this funny on-line diary not long ago...haha.....cute, interesting...LOL

[kewpie-chan]

Jean, what was the link to the online journal again? ???

kewpie-chan,

Thanks for the link Jean! After reading it (in Japanese since English translation wasn't too good ) I had these thoughts:
1) oh my gawd, his sense of humor is like mine! I don't feel so bad now LOL...
2) hey, I do that too in the sense I get SO focused (or is it obsessed? ha ha...) on somthing and then *poof* move on. My father used to say the same comment like his father did to me when I was a kid! (Do Asian parents all have the same parental manuel they go by?? ha ha...) Note: Takeshi-san if you're reading this, see my funny story about my stint in kendo below
3) regarding his dream of "energy" and "color", wonder if anyone has told him he may have the gift of a "seer"?

Jaa, minasan (soreto Takeshi-san) sassoku Kewpie_chan no okashii kendo no hanashi desu!

translate: Ok! It's time for Kewpie-chan's funny kendo story for y'all out there! (and Takeshi-san too)

One day back when I was a sophmore in high school, flyers were sent home to all Nihongo Gakko (Japanese school) students announcing a Kendo Club opening in our town. My parents told (not asked) my younger brother, "You're going to join the kendo club."
"What??" my brother squeaked. "I'll get killed!"
"Uso!" (You're lying!) I said as visions of him in a body cast filled my head.
Well, my brother HATED kendo and begged my parents to get him out of it while I begged my parents to let me in.

Me: "Oh puhleeeeeze let me join the kendo club! PLEASE!!! Look how he wants out but I want in! Machiko-chan and Chika-chan are joining with their brothers why can't I?"
Parents: "No, kendo is a boy's sport, not girls!"
Me: "Yada, yada!! (No, no!!) That's not fair! I want to do kendo!!! PLEASE, PLEASE!!" (tears in eyes to add guilt trip to parents)

They caved and signed me up. My poor parents, we weren't that rich and here they had to pay for TWO full kendo outfits and equipments, so expensive! Those preliminary exercises they make you do BEFORE you even practice is awful! Shinisou datta desho Takeshi-san...wakkaru yo! (Bet you felt you'd die huh Takeshi-san...I understand!) Running laps, callisthenics, mock sword moves and "battle" cries. And geez! Us girls (there were only 4 of us in the whole dojo) had to do two more ten reps of above head sword moves (the hardest kind) because one of the sensei (master) felt we didn't get it right. (NO fair! That's discrimination!!) LOL...
And full kendo gear? OH MY GAWD! It must weigh at least 20-25 lbs! (wonder if Takeshi-san wore the full gear too when he wrote he liked the costume.) Anyway, (sorry, I know this is long...) we divided into groups according to age range. In my age range group, I was the ONLY GIRL and at only 5 ft. tall weighing less than 100lbs, was the shortest/skinniest person in my group. I was almost pulverized (I think at one point I saw stars when I got a "hit" on the head real hard by a 6ft. tall guy.) All I could think was, "What the hell was I thinkin' Agh! I'm gonna get killed!! Yada, yada!! " Which wasn't a smart thing to do, crying during battle that is, cuz fogged up my glasses and can't see to deflect death blows from opponent. LOL. I almost called it quits after 3 sessions and lost count how many bruises on my arms, wrists, sides. (Those "pads" and "armor" don't really protect you from a determined opponent out for blood!)

So to Takeshi-san I say this: maybe it's a good thing you didn't continue on in kendo, I'm sure your manager would have a fit if you came back black and blue. Not a good look for an actor, ne?

Oh, and FYI? I did stick it out (for 2 1/2 yrs.) and won second place in No. Califonia Kendo competition and hold a third degree ranking in Kendo Then I quit and went on to play on high school badminton team LOLOL!

Kewpie-chan ;D

[jean]

LOL...of course you are going to get killed, what did you expect? Was it because your bro got offered and you wanted the same treatment? Or because you really want to learn?
Well, at least you stuck with it long enough, 2 1/2 yrs thats a long time and to acheive an award, brilliant.
Seems like Takeshi always give up or get bored with things after a short while, like his chemistry set etc...hope hes not like that with women but from what I have read very high possiblities with his trait.

[kewpie-chan]

I expected a civilized sport like fencing. LOL! I was interested and it was a challene to me especially after the comment of it's only a boys sport and not for girls. I recall after surviving my first session my sensei praising me for my spirited battle cries and I said "That wasn't intentional. I was scared and screamed for my life!" Poor guy didn't know what to say after my brutal honest comment LOL!

2 1/2 yrs is long I suppose but once I won a trophey and decent ranking, I got bored. My parents were upset and in their hour lecture to me pointed out this was a bad habit I had of "not following through" with things (sound familiar?) and as "punishment" must continue with my classical piano lessons. I finally ended at age 21 (learned since I was 5) and to this day, cannot listen to Chopin or Schubert without cringing.

For me, once the challenge is over or my curiosity sated, I grow bored and move on to the next topic of interest. I've been told this is a trait Libras tend to have. And hey, I'm a Libra sign like Takeshi-san! Hmmmm... So I had to laugh as I totally understood when he wrote in his diary about this (bad?) habit of his. As for wondering whether or not this trait may affect his relationships with women...well it tends to lean toward that tendency. (Eh, honto?) LOL! I deny it of course
My pov is that he seems to be pretty intelligent so if a woman isn't at least up to speed on his multiple levels, chances don't look good in long run.

Kewpie-chan ;D

p.s. BTW, checked out your site and must say I liked it very much. good job!

[jean]

LOL...yeah, libra seems to loose interest very easily, they needs a intelligent or at least an interesting partner. And hes like a big kid, he needs a motherly woman...haha.....

You must like player the piano b/c otherwise you wouldnt learn it for that long. You a good piano player?

My site? you mean la creme, that not mine, I am only helping out but thanks anyway.
So you have read all my posts and comments about our man....haha....hes a funny guy...

[kewpie-chan]

Back then I didn't like taking piano lessons for after a few years, knew deep down my teacher couldn't teach me anything that interested me. After I finished taking lessons, I did not go near a piano for years and years! But since I was 5 yrs old, I loved listening to piano music so guess it's inevitable I'd be drawn back. And guess what sparked my interest in playing again? Music scores from one of Takeshi-san's early J-drama hit! So Jean, you seem to be a wealth of information: do you know where I can find piano sheet music to "Kirara", "Wish" and "I for u"? All from the series "Kamisama Mou Sukoshidake" (God, Please Give Me More Time)??

[fuyumi]

I might not be a big help for you as it's only the full band score for "I for you"...

How can you be sure this is an original TK journal?
For all I know anyone can make a website and write any name and any comments.
Is really Tk writing all this stuff?
I REALLY hope is true...

Takeshi if you are writing then I'll be reading..Un paso mas cerca de ti.

[kewpie-chan]

Thanks Fuyumi! wow, how did you find this? I'll have to check it out later...

On the first day at the kendo club, before starting even basic practices, they said I should strengthen my body??? And I was forced to keep running in the gym. I almost threw up. (Without the costume)

I quit the kendo club on the next day.

LMAOSHICD (laughing my ass off so hard i could die)

takeshi is the man.

[kewpie-chan]

LOL! Yeah that was pretty funny what he wrote and like I wrote earlier, I can TOTALLY understand how he felt
