    Takashi Tsukamoto releases his third single, New Morning, after one and the half years.

    $this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m86/raven_frosts/BC.jpg')

    What are your thoughts on releasing this new single?
    Actually, after the second single “Itsu demo boku wa” I thought (singing) was over, that acting is my main profession … But this time, I found the experience enjoyable.

    It’s like rediscovering your feelings?
    That’s right. It’s because the songs chosen were different from those that were previously composed for me. New Morning is a piano ballad but it’s my first time working with Ichikawa Yoshiyasu, who wrote songs for SMAP. The second track, Recycle, was also written by Ichikawa-san but because it’s a regular up-tempo, it’s a challenge to sing such a song that I don’t even sing in karaoke.

    Do you go to the karaoke?
    I do. I often sing songs from the Checkers and the 80s even though they aren’t really my specialty. I like listening to songs which have a rock element, like Recycle, but I don’t sing it because it’s difficult (laughs). I think songs like New Morning are easy to sing - even the recording it felt like the usual way of singing for a recording.

    New Morning's lyrics are mellow and the tune is pleasing. It fits your honest, natural voice very well.
    Because it was truly sung naturally. Even the lyrics. Doesn't it seem to reflect the dual nature of the average youth from the negativity of a disappointment in love to the new feelings that develop? I thought it would be good if I could roughly grasp that and try hard not to sing too emotionally. At first, my singing accompanied by guitar was recorded, and we felt that it would be better if we added piano and strings.

    That relaxed atmosphere came through. How about the challenging Recycle?
    This was difficult. At first, my voice didn't suit rock and halfway through I already felt like giving up (laughs). But my hard work paid off. It felt very good after it was over.

    This is an impressive, powerful guitar solo. You played it didn't you?
    Yes. But maybe the third track, Keep on Running, was easier to play. I liked the melodic way of playing.

    Keep on Running has a mainstream pop feel and the guitar work is also invigorating. It left an impression.
    This was during a session when I was chatting with staff in the studio on whether I can easily sing and play this song Utaibito Hane (a Fukuoka male folk band) had written for me and the producer asked, "Shall we play?" And then we came together and recorded it on the spot.

    [b]It's in New Morning's songs ... aren't there a lot of improvised decisions in your recordings? Isn't it in a sense, lax (laughs)?
    It's like a feel good karaoke studio (laughs). I like that sort of freedom. Conversely, if I am forced, I can give 80 percent and that's it. I want to give 120 percent and work towards that but I won't really enjoy doing it. Even though was like that this time, it has been the best. I performed 120 percent.



    My Japanese isn't fantastic, so there might be some errors in interpretation. Gomen ne. I hope you find this interesting. I don't really think Takashi has a good singing voice. I much prefer him as an actor.

    I very much enjoyed reading that interview! Please don't apologize or worry about making any errors; I know translating can be challenging and I just really appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to appease my fangirl tendencies. Arigatou gozaimasu!

    I agree that TakaC's forte is acting. His singing voice isn't the best, but I do like his New Morning and Recycle tracks. He plays a mean guitar too. (<---TakaC)

    You're welcome. It helps me improve my Japanese too. Otherwise I'm too lazy to read much. I found one on the Taiyo no Uta movie so I'll be translating that one soon.

    Pink mickey mouse tee!!!!!! Hahaha that magazine cover really made me do a double take. The latest news is that Takashi will be starring with Nagasawa Masami and Yamada Takayuki in a triangular love story in the movie Sore wa Kare ni Yoroshiku next year. This follows in the wake of the other 'junai' (pure love) story Sekai no Chuushin de Ai wo Sakebu.

    Thanks, jade. Are Japanese magazines easily found in Singapore?

    Hehe, it's amazing how TakaC can go from looking badass to totally soft in pink. I like his look on the FINEBOYS (very appropriate title, I might add ) cover the most.

    Another sad romance film for TakaC?

    Lady zhuge,

    Hope I am not interrupting but I think I can answer your question. There is a good range of Japanese magazines available here not the max but quite good selection. They are mostly found in Kinokuniya bookshop, what about you? Are Jap mags difficult to buy in the USA?

    Not at all, strawberry; feel free to chime in anytime.

    I probably wouldn't expect there to be a max selection of Japanese magazines anywhere but in Japan itself. To be honest, I don't have a good gauge on the availability of Japanese magazines here in the U.S., as I've never actively looked for them. I haven't seen any in the shops that I frequent, but I'm sure they're sold in Japanese food and specialty shops around town just as Korean ones are sold in their respective stores.

    I came across another nice source for Takashi information and went back and kind of revamped the opening post of this thread. Someone translated an interview with Taka and Shun regarding the H pics I was curious about earlier. Links to the translation are posted in the first post if anyone's interested. The interview is funny. Shun said if he was a girl, he'd be addicted to Taka's red moist lips.

    Default Taka and Ryoko from KDO

    Somehow, Ryoko looks much older and less matching with Taka in these magazine layouts than she did onscreen.

    Takashi looks so devastatingly handsome, especially in the second image, unleashed dimples and all. He can bring me a cup of whatever that is anyday.

    Thanks. You know those pictures really do look very misleading but at the same time, they somehow looked so happy that they really convince me that they are a couple in love.

    btw, I heard that the japanese guys pluck their eyebrows...do you think people like Takashi and Yamapi does it? Actually, I don't seemed to be able to tell very well.

    Lady Zhuge,

    You have posted so much stuff here and I know that everything is prob a must see for you but I was wondering if you really had to recommend some must-see Takshi clips esp his interviews, which ones would that be? its just like my sis saying that there are some must see Arashi clips if you are a fan.

    Also what is the coolest role that he has played so far? and in your opinion, what is the single best serial of Takashi that non-fans should try

    Those particular ones are from his thread at another forum (see opening post). I weeded through it and saved the ones I especially liked. I've now linked all the sources I get his pics from so others can find more if desired.

    Did you read the interview with Taka and Shun? They're really good friends (best, if I'm not mistaken), so it's easy for them to work this closely together. You can really tell they're very comfortable in a situation most would find uneasy. I also think that especially for guys, they really have to be comfortable with their own sexuality to do such photoshoots.

    Here's an old pic that kind of dates Taka and Shun's friendship:

    $this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v137/Robin524/Takashi%20Tsukamoto/TTKid.jpg')

    Taka was super skinny back then, barely skin and bones. Shun looks about the same, though.
