Happy New Year 2012!
and
Happy Birthday Koichi-san~

He'll always be a manga-ppoi prince to me and yet baka-Kochan xD

KinKi Kids was the host for this year Johnnys Countdown! *yay*
I saw some caps.. Tsu played guitar on Matchy's song.. and Koi performed Andalucia *_*
They both looks high xD
I can't wait for the show xDDD

---
Last night, Tsu is done with his recital..  I mistaken the time of his recital.. It was done right after Jcountdown!

I hope he had a good rest before today's con.
*edited*
Just found out how his recital... and it's actually a rakugo (kidding)! a rakugo? No?

News repo about last night concert here.
Read the news, I feel envy. 6 of my fellow KK friends was lucky to attend the concert.

The most sold out goods this year is pouch. It was not on sale yesterday.. I don't know for today. And no sale for pouch on today as well ;_;. As for the strap, it's limited to one piece for one person. They should provide more when it's open to international fans, right?

Because Koichi is cho kakkoii and skilled!

From Kinsuta 2011.11.04

Just read a rumor today, he was having rehearsal with Mr.Travis Payne. So, is it means he's in LA? O.o
for the upcoming SHOCK? Well, whatever it is, all the best to you, Koichi~!

Koichi in Taipei!

on arrival at the airport,

He looks so chubby, put on some weight..
Have fun to Taiwan fans! ^^'

Koichi in Seoul!

Koichi did a great job while in Korea! ^^'
Out Asian Lovely Prince (what a praise^^')
I hope him for the best in his BPM concert next month.

from the press conference yesterday
(source: unionpress.co.kr, nate)

Read a translation article from many of the written news.
From Mnet Countdown show last night. Interview | Bad Desire Performance (snapshots).
Get the file (ripped from Ran's original upload).
He looks good, especially he got more flesh ^^'. I hardly enjoy BD but this one. I guess I can enjoy the other BD from BPM con as well? xDD

Have you heard?

Koichi is going to have BPM concert overseas!
Seoul and Taipei, he will be there!

September 10th in Seoul,
October 1st - 2nd in Taipei.

Uh, I can feel the excitement of the fans over there^^'
It may be too much for consider Jakarta as the destination for their concert.. how about Singapore, KinKi Kids-san? ;)

いまこの時を
自分らしく生きてるよ

誰かが冷たい態度で
傷つけても
誰かが汚い言葉
傷つけても

いまこの時を
自分らしく生きてるよ

どんな時も現実のなかに
希望を鳴らせる強さより

優しさを持っているよ

みんな
本当にいつもありがとう

This time now
I'm living in my own way

Even if I got hurt by anyone with a cold attitude
Even if I got hurt by anyone with foul language

This time now
I'm living in my own way

No matter when, in reality
I scream for hope rather than strength

I have the kindness (though)

To all
Thank you so much as always

I wonder what on earth had happened?

*****

But, we have a good news from Koichi-san. "SHOCK" plans to run for 4 months in 2012 from Januari - April and started at Fukuoka. Read the news here.
Ikitai!

Koichi updated his SMGO..

Otsukaresama deshita, Koichi-san~

It seems still a longer way for Japan to recover due to the nuclear plants condition at Fukushima...

Endless SHOCK shows has been cancelled. Koichi came up and apologize on stage and even shook hands with the audiences (read the news here and photo are here).
22 shows left, but an official announcement of the cancellation for the rest of the shows was made (johnnys site  & http://www.toho.co.jp/stage/)

Koichi-san and staffs, otsukaresamadeshita~

Koichi in Rookie

I'm currently watching this old Koichi dorama, Rookie.  I haven't watch his dramas except Remote, Yonimo Kimyona Monogatari (Fall 2006) and those which Tsu also in it.
I'm not finished yet, just finished download episode 4.  Rookie is just light and funny, just makes you me laugh. Koichi did a good job as Aida Makoto, a police rookie and also other supporting casts.

at first, I'm not used to with his old look, but not anymore xD

ii combi xD

good chem with Uchiyama Rina xD

quite rude, but it's lol

I laughed so hard on this scene

I should say, I am used to with Ko-girl xD

Weird post?^^;

Happy New Year! 2011.01.01

KinKi Kids is the host of Johnnys Countdown 2010-2011 tonight..

Watch their performance of Family~ here (and don't miss the part on minutes 2:58!^^) 

きみがいるから… ぼくがいるから…

Johnny's senpai is the best~ I love the troops!

and...

Dear Koichi-san,

[lyric] SOLITARY - Domoto Koichi

SOLITARY
作詞：白井裕紀・新美香 
作曲：Freakchild・Alexandra Prinz

When I look at you　見つめ合い (mitsume ai)　Feeling your reaction　確かめる (tashikameru)
愛なんて (ai nante)　壊れやすい (koware yasui)　だからすぐに (dakara sugu ni)　求め合う  (motome au)

Just… Let me be　Let me see　Let me feel you close to me
Just… Let me be　Let me see　and Let me hold you tight tonight
抱き合ってたいよ (dakiattetai yo)

Loneliness just makes me confused　信じられず (shinjirarezu)　孤独の中に身を任せても (kodoku no naka ni mi o makasete mo)
Nothing makes me pleased without love　Lost in the darkness
Loneliness just makes me confused　心はまだ (kokoro wa mada)　涙の海を彷徨うけれど (namida no umi o samayou keredo)
Nothing can be the same like before 'cause you're not around

逃げないで (nigenai de)　Don't you ever leave
泣かないで (nakanai de)   Keep the sorrow in your heart
愛はいつも (ai wa itsumo)　気まぐれに (kimagure ni)　燃え上がるものさ (moe agaru mono sa)　情熱的に (jyounetsu teki ni)

Just… Let me be　Let me see　Let me feel you close to me
Just… Let me be　Let me see and Let me hold you tight tonight
抱き合ってたいよ (dakiattetai yo)

Loneliness just makes me confused　離さないと (hanasanai to)　心に誓い重ねたキスも (kokoro ni chikai kasaneta kisu mo)
Never can make it true without you　Never… without you
Loneliness just makes me confused
交わしたあの(kawashita ano)　約束はもう果たせないけど (yakusoku wa mou hatasenai kedo)
You made me understand what's true love by losing your love

When I'm so lonely　When I'm feeling down
'Cause I have somebody always by my side
Now I know the way to keep me going on
始まりは (hajimari wa)　ひとりじゃない (hitori jyanai)

Loneliness just makes me confused　信じられず (shinjirarezu)　孤独の中に身を任せても (kodoku no nakani mi o makasete mo)
Nothing makes me pleased without love
Loneliness just makes me confused　心はまだ (kokoro wa mada)　涙の海を彷徨うけれど  (namida no umi o samayou keredo)
Nothing can be the same like before 'cause you're not around
Loneliness just makes me confused　離さないと (hanasanai to)　心に誓い重ねたキスも (kokoro ni chikai kasaneta kisu mo)
Never can make it true without you　Never… without you
Loneliness just makes me confused 交わしたあの(kawashita ano)  約束はもう果たせないけど(yakusoku wa mou hatasenai kedo)
You made me understand what's true love by losing your love.

[lyric] absolute love - Domoto Koichi

This is the first time I fully listened to Koichi solo.  I didn't really listened to Mirror as I wasn't into KK at that time and listening to the album without knowing anything behind it is a bit difficult for me.  As it is hard for me to enjoy his music at first.
BPM came out and I can read some info regarding the album/songs in it, and I enjoyed this album xD
---

absolute love

words：堀江里沙
music：堂本光一

ありふれた日々の中で　僕ら惹かれあった
愛の本当の意味も　きっと分からないままに 
arifureta hibi no naka de  bokura hikare atta
ai no hontou no imi mo    kitto wakaranai mama ni

逢えない時の　孤独さえもいつしか
喜びに変わるの?
ひとりでは　生きられないくらいに
君があふれてるよ 
aenai toki no    kodoku sae mo itsushika
yorokobi ni kawaru no?
hitori de wa   ikirarenai kurai ni
kimi ga afureteru yo

Dear, my everything for you　教えてほしいよ
胸が痛むのは何故?
You are everything to me　君を守りたい
この身が砕け散っても 
Dear, my everything for you   oshiete hoshii yo
mune ga itamu no wa naze?
You are everything to me    kimi o mamoritai
kono mi ga kudake chitte mo

ケンカをした分いつも　心は寄り添った
「ごめんね」の4文字から　そっと伝わるぬくもり 
kenka o shita bu itsumo  kokoro wa yori sotta
「gomen ne」no yon moji kara   sotto tsutawaru nukumori

君に出逢って　僕は強くなったよ
失うものはない
言葉には　出来ないこの気持ちを
愛と呼ぶのだろう 
kimi no deatte   boku wa tsuyoku natta yo
ushinau mono wa nai
kotoba ni wa  dekinai kono kimochi o
ai to yobu no darou

Dear, my everything for you　たとえ離れても
どうか　悲しまないで
You are everything to me　僕はそばにいる
見えない　絆となって… 
Dear, my everything for you    tatoe hanaretemo
douka   kanashi ma nai de 
You are everything to me    boku wa soba ni iru
mienai  kizuna to natte...

儚さに　震えても　平気さ
ここにいる　ふたりが真実
傷ついてもいい　君と　どこまでも 
hakanasa ni  furuetemo   heiki sa
koko ni iru   futari ga shinjitsu 
kizutsuite mo ii    kimi to   doko made mo

Dear, my everything for you　笑ってほしいよ
揺れる木漏れ日のように
You are everything to me　君を守りたい
この身が砕け散っても 
Dear, my everything for you   waratte hoshii yo
yureru komore hi no you ni
You are everything to me   kimi o mamoritai
kono mi ga kudake chitte mo

I like this song, and I would love to listen to more deep R&B version of this one.
Please don't dance while performed this song, Koichi. No?

Domoto Koichi - Shock Documentary on NHK

堂本光一,　すべてはステージのために
究極のエンターテイメント『SHOCK』～
aired on August 18th on NHK.

He's been doing 'SHOCK' at Imperial Theater for 10 years already.  It started in year 2000.

Started in 2005, Koichi engaged in music, costumes, and stage director. (>is this correct?)

Name some Johnnys junior accompanied him; Imai Tsubasa, Nishikido Ryo, Ikuta Toma, Tomoyuki Yara, and Hiroki Uchi.

Some incidents also happened during production, rehearsal or during the show, but the 'Show must go on'..

I always love the samurai battle scenes.. It's one thing that made me curious to watch Shock. Editing to my previous comment, you're so good, Yara! *_*

Training, fighting..



This 22 stairs (about 8 meters), where Koichi will get fall from.


Despite that it is dangerous, I should say that it was a nice fall.
Though he wore some safety gears.. just take care Koichi-san~

and the flying parts.. Give him a big applause for doing all that by himself!

in his favorite clothe, bathrobe :p

Showed some bruises he got..

He met with Travis Payne, a famous choreographer (worked with Michael Jackson before).


He praised Koichi high xD

It's good that they monitoring body weight.

My respect to Koichi~
I wish I can see the show live, one day..
