it's really a great thing that koki is one of taipi's most admired senpai, and his words became powerful to that boy. thank you koki. :)

was browsing thru my old blogspot acct. and found this... it would always make me feel like crying... ;__;

"I would like to talk about my definition of “bonds”, First of all, there’s a place called “my family”; A dad, a mom, a younger brother, And a group of guys who support me like real brothers. I am who I am because of this family...

Through this year’s “24hr tv”, I was able to learn about bonds between people, And the importance of expressing my sincerity towards this individuals. So I hope everyone can realize the importance of the bonds between them and their loved ones.

And of course, I received a lot of help from KATTUN... KAMENASHI, Although we were working with tons of strangers when we were filming “Gokusen”, your presence on the set helped me a lot. KOKI, Your constant laughter and energy has always been a help to me. UEDA, Although we often fight, you’re the one who can always view things calmly. You’re an amazing guy who is able to do things I cannot. TAGUCHI, Since you like video games a lot, you’re always playing them at work, but I can feel your happiness from deep within. NAKAMARU, Maybe you’re the one who cares the most about the members of KATTUN, so please maintain your affectionate heart.

Everyone’s going to encounter various situations. And although there may be frustrating or miserable times, to “live with an equal amount of tears and laughter” - that’s my way of living. I want to thank the staff and everyone who helped put this show together. And the members of KATTUN, and my family whom I love and count on for support. Thank you very much."
