I skipped lunch again today to go get the package at FedEx. The agent there giggled at me when she handed me the box and she saw my hands were trembling XDD I got in my car, ripped Amazon box open, carefully open the package, and laughed my butt off by those booklet covers! xD Oh boy, we have to talk about this LOL
Anyway, I drove back to the office, popped the offshot C DVD in, and prayed that VLC would work with my office laptop (yeah, security issues, normally I can’t (urr.. and am not supposed to) install any program on the computer ^^”) and YAY, IT DID!
Sneakingly watching it at the office was tough, people walked to my desk all the time, phone rang, definitely quite an experience~ LOL I decided to watch offshot C then Damecon since I needed more brain to focus on Best Tour.
After work, I drove home in a record time, watched Tiger Woods on Golf Channel with Dad for a while before I took over my brother’s 61″ TV and started watching Best Tour 07-08. Oh boy, size does matter, it’s far better than watching it on 22″ in my bedroom LOL Two hours later, my brain was declared dead. XD

Packaging
show
I didn’t complain much when I first saw all covers on J-net, since I think it’s better than their PV clips DVD. At least you get to see Takki and Tsubasa, right right?! XD
Jacket A and B came in a paper box, each holds 2 DVD cases: 001 and 002-003, which can be put together to show a slightly bigger picture of Darth Vader the machine. The latter one is basically the same as jacket C, but in different color.
Back to the paper box. They looks very futuristic sci-fi kinda atmosphere. For some reason, maybe the angle and lighting, but Takki looks like a mannequin on box A! XD Anyway, that machine behind them, what is it? I couldn’t guess the concept behind it at all.. but it has a wheel, so maybe.. get the wheel moving? XDD
The discs inside are pretty cool though. Silver, black and gold. Simple design. I love it. ^^
But, what made me laugh my butt off was the booklets! XDD Han Solo and Luke Skywalker in their spaceship? Ahh, it makes sense now, Daddy Darth on jacket C is trying to get a hold of Mutant R2D2, so T&T have to stand guarding it! Does it mean this future world is their ai sekai? *runs*
And I couldn’t believe this! Of ALL the pictures they have access to, they picked that Nutcracker outfit for booklet-A *faints* Ok, I shouldn’t whine too much, at least it’s not those awful flowery shirts, and they still gave us a close up shot of Tsu’s fetish gear XD .. hmmm, those circles, squares and hexagons are just designs, I guess?
In fact, I really like booklet-C, very nice pix of Takki and Tsu. Black & White. Perfect contrast. Thank you Daddy Darth!
What can I say, it’s such a love-hate feeling for Avex art department~ LOL
I went over all discs already, but need to re-watch it to slowly gather my braincells back. So I’ll come back and edit this post later.

Jacket A: Disc 003 – Premium Documentary to the Arena

show
Wow! Isn’t it super sugoi that we get to see behind the scene stuff? For almost 40 minutes? *bounces* (but I still want more, of course! LOL) It’s really nice to see how they pay attention to the arena and settings ne~
BTW, now we know which group of people to kill for those hideous outfits XD but in fact, when I went down to SD last week, there’s a lot of that flowery kind of fabric in a lot of boutiques… it might be in style now? still…. ^^”
I totally love the way Tsu posed to the camera. SO CUTE! XD
Takki looks like he’s either sleepy or having a problem with his contact lenses ne, he kept blink-blink his eyes a lot…
*purrs* I love seeing their rehearsal *purrs purrs*
DMC! *faints* god bless his hips!! He just moved it around and around and around, kept grinding and grinding and grinding *___* It’s like, “oh yes, I know you’re filming me, and you wanna see this, here you go!” XD I swear his body joints are not made from any material available on this entire planet! Damn HOT! *nosebleeds* (and he didn’t even have that fetish gear on! LOL). Then all of a sudden, he turned back into a super adorable dork again with that kick thingy XD
I want that T-shirt with cute wings on the back!! Where is it from? I saw junior wore it too? And he’s wearing his red 24-hr T-shirt too! (makes me want to wear that super bright yellow one to work tomorrow LOL)
Kimagure JET is so cute! I love Takki with minimal make-up and almost no hairdo! ^^ and his hair before trying on Yuki-chan wig was super messy! kawaiiiiii~~~
Tsu watching Journey vs Takki watching World Wings… ❤ The way Takki looked at his Tsubasa was sooooo super sweet~ MOE MOE MOE MOE MOE! *purrs*
And speaking of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, that black shirt dude… I couldn’t stand him being in Takki’s way, so I wiped him off xDD (yup, there’s one shot at the beginning without that dude, but that one seems like Takki was looking at Tsu’s butt, instead of the whole Wing-san LOL)
Tsu is cute even when he’s wearing a mask XD (<- biased, so what? LOL)
no way, those cakes would never be enough for all juniors!
Last but not the least, I took all screencaps at work, and surprisingly enough, the total number of caps: 283! LOL what a coincidence!! (I have a feeling that I’ll screencap about 894 when I get to Best Tour xD)
Jacket A: Disc 003 – Offshot A & Real DX

show
Offshot A is about 25 minutes, with lots of T&T arriving and leaving the venues.
Let’s fast forward to the end first.
There’s a message [to be continued] at the end of offshot A, does it mean that they’ll release another DVD with the rest of the offshots from Best Tour soon? *bounces* They’re not going to wait 4 more years to show the rest of 2008 clips right?! Or could it be a bonus DVD attached to their new single? Avex staff are definitely do-S ne, they love torturing fangirls with uncertainties and lack of information! LOL
I love backstage stuff. Seeing all those notes, hall seating charts and rehearsals is so neat. Plus, seeing T&T getting on and off various buses is fun LOL Then I realized, there’s not a lot of shots with them together in the same frame, since it must be hard to get on and off the bus/van at the same time ^^
Osaka! Take me back to Osakajo Hall!!!! It’s the first time I saw them in RL, so this place has a special memory attached to it. ^^ Those lucky fans… I wanna go to their hall tour now! (but I want to go to Yokohama Arena too! LOL my life priorities and bank account are so screwed up because of these two XD)
I prefer them wearing t-shirt and tank tops over flowery feathery flashy stuff anytime ^^ I love being distracted by Takki’s biceps LOL
There’s something in the way Tsu raises his arm and points his index finger.. a princess way maybe, but it’s damn sensual when he slightly stretches/arches his body up.. like a cat.. ero version of Hello Kitty *purrs*
Takki whispering to Tsu on stage was so MOE MOE MOE MOE MOE!! What did he say? What did he say? ‘Taste me, honey, ILU’? XD
Specs! lots of Takitsuba wearing specs! *flails*
I found it’s hilariously cute when I hear fangirls screaming their lungs off while seeing them getting on/off the bus XDD To think that they have to wait and wait and wait to catch a glimpse of T&T, just a simple nod or wave from them can drive them off the edge, very sweet ne ^^
oooh sunset (or sunrise?) at Saga is so beautiful!
ahhh Sapporo Snow Festival! I wanna go back to visit that freaking cold place again!!! LOL Tsu saying ‘samui ne’ made me think of A-san as it’s probably her most frequent used Japanese word from our trip last year XD
Takki kami-ed~ LOL and his smile was so cute!
Nice way to end this chapter with Daydreamer.
Now, Avex, please be nice and give us the rest of the stuff already! m(_ _)m
Surprisngly enough, I like multi-angle Real DX more than Diamond… hmm probably I have to go back and revisit Diamond… I was fangirling over offshot C that I didn’t really pay much attention to it ^^”
Anyway, I don’t think I can learn the furitsuke from this clip as I’m always giggling watching some certain parts of Real DX, don’t ask me why. Tsu’s dance is cool though, he always adds an extra touch to his move ne~
Overall, I’m very satisfied of this jacket A extra disc. Lots of nice moments, lots of smiling faces, lots of behind the scene stuff (though it’s not enough, I want MORE!! <– speaking of a greedy fangirl LOL)
Jacket B: Disc 003 – MC Collection

show
MC Collection is almost 70 minutes of pure love! ❤
They’re just emitting their pink world aura wherever they go, whatever they do! Look at those smiles! It’s so nice to be able to see how happy and playful T&T are when they’re together. They’re so funny and animated ^^
My favorite part: the infamous T&T catchball! SO CUTE! I love how Tsu just went on and on and on since the MC talk, and then when he started throwing the ball for real, his voice was so cute! XD Takki’s embarrassed expression was priceless!
AND when Tsu asked how much Takki loves him, and Takki’s reply was like, if he said it, the world will collapse. Takki had a serious/embarrassed face on after he threw the rabu ball, then he grinned! *points above* THAT was a satisfied smirk if you ask me! XD No, he wasn’t looking at Tsu’s butt at that time, but I couldn’t help putting the two screencaps together! such a perfect match~ LOL which leads to the next question:
Imai-san, how low could your pants go before they fall off?! XD
honto ni~~~ uso.. hai.. honto.. hai!! Tsubasa! You’re too cute for my poor heart! XDDD
Hide-chan & Tsu-kun~
Passport!
Hadaka spree! Tsu looks so yummy! Serious face half-naked Yuki-chan in Tackey Express? ROFL!
Drummer!Tsu was so kakkoii~~
Takki’s Flamenco cracks me up to no end. I just couldn’t stop laughing especially when he started moving his hips!! And his biright pink pants made him look like a bird!!! Well, I shall call this “Takki’s Flamingo” from now on! xD It’s so funny that Tsu wanted Takki to continue too! (and he’s so cute using drums like that towards the end!) LOL
The camera angle before Tsu casually touched Takki’s hair and teased him about his height made Tsu look about a foot taller. False perspective!! XDD
Do-S!Tsubasa just couldn’t stop teasing his Hide-kun. LOL
Ahhh There are sooooo many more rabu moments! But I think I’d better stop before the highlights turns into a 20-page squeeeeing spree xD
Big thanks to Bon-chan for translating this MC collection to me during one of our major fangirling sessions~ *hugs* ^^
Jacket B: Disc 003 – Offshot B & Kamira Tamara

show
Offshot B is about T&T trip to volcanic town which involved cute outdoor activities together (how’s my executive summary? XD). It’s just 3 seconds shy of 12 minutes… TOO SHORT yo! An offshot like this should be at least an hour, Avex!
That pink T&T bus is so cute xD Starting off when they stopped for late night dinner (I guess, it’s dark LOL) on the way from Nagasaki to Kagoshima.
Arghhhhhhhh T&T eating! *purrs*
To me, the cutest thing was not when Tsubasa ordered food for Takki and Makino (did I get his name right? ^^”), but when the gyoza arrived. Tsu was already eating (and didn’t even pause LOL), Takki and Makino each basically grabbed a packet of the sauce and pour it into tiny sauce bowls. Instead of keeping it to himself, since Makino was the one sitting across his aikata-kun, he took a quick look at Makino, then place the sauce bowl in front of Tsubasa! How CUTE could he be?! Makino saw that, so he moved the other sauce bowl to share with Takki. What Takki did was very naturally done. Like he’s doing this out of habit for his princess. Simple thing, super lovely! ❤
Next, ferry ride from Kagoshima to Sakurajima on T&T love boat (aka Sakurajima Ferry). Tsu’s “my camera”~ KAWAIIII~ XD and that lucky kid is soooo cute!
Sakurajima radish (field?) ROFL! T&T picking up giant turnip! I think Takki was the one carrying most of the weights xD Super cute crack when the turnip stuck and they couldn’t pull it off the ground LOL
Tea time! somewhere along Mochiki river? ^^
Back to Sakurajima Port area. Takki hugging dino at Sakurajima Nature & Dinosaur Park LOL ! KAWAIIIIIII~ AHHHHHH! Takki on the slider, sooooo CUTE! ROFL! did he crash into the person in front of him?! Tsu with Spinosaurus! XDD
Kyaaaaa~ Foot onsen! HAHAHA Tsu dipping his leg at first. Hmmm the weather must be pretty cold ne, Tsu was wearing long johns.
Alright, here’s my question. Why did they have to blur out cellphones? For real, was it really because Avex didn’t get anything back from these mobile companies? o_O” Then why didn’t they blur out Tsu’s camera as well?
Too short, too short, too short! Where’s a ‘to be continued‘ sign?! XD
Multi-angle Kamira Tamara is pretty cool. I really like this dance version, especially the hips. But those flowery shirts must go. xD I think Takki was about to grin towards the end where he turned to Tsubasa’s side. Did he miss his furitsuke or maybe it’s just my eyes? LOL
Jacket C: Disc 002 – Offshot C & Diamond

show
Offshot C is way too short! Only 10:42 minutes of encore collection.
But there’s a lot of super cute and hyper moments and baka dance move ^^ That ‘shake your body, baby’ twist towards the end is just soooooooo adorable! The way they looked at each other before doing the twist is just sooooooooo CUTE! ^^ Seeing their smiles while being together like this, guess what, it’s worth every single penny :)
I’m going gaga over Takki’s reflection on the mirror where he’s smiling with minimum hairdo *fangirls* also the one in the screencap above too *purrs*
is that cowboy!Takki rehearsing Yuki-chan’s move? XD
Eating!T&T is always super cute. Plus, Takki & ramen vs Tsu & alcohol. I have a feeling fans will hunt these stores down XD
T&T on the road, I like it when we can see different views/weathers from their bus.
Love Spiral encores are from at least… 5 different shows I think? Takitsuba, I wanna be with you! *bawls*
YES!!! T&T holding hands!! Looks like Tsu reached out and grabbed Takki’s hand. So sweet! I totally love it when they hold hands and bow together, for some reasons it gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling ^^
Multi-angle Daimond is okay. Not super impressive though. I don’t know, I guess I want to see more of the entire dance move (as in entire body shot, or at least more hips shot)? This is more like a regular DVD camera shooting, then they zoomed in to crop only Takki or Tsubasa part ^^” Or maybe it’s just because I have a high expectation when it comes to Diamond~ ^^; but yappari, Diamond is something you have to watch live ne.
