Growing up
Recently, I have been feeling very bittersweet inside because I’ve been watching a lot of T&T debut period clips.
They were just so innocent and innocent looking, little boys all starry eyed and fresh into the world.
Takki was just like a mini, rounder version of himself now. Although he is still as much of a drama-queen as ever, his air of maturity and fatherliness is much stronger now, especially as his face is now more weathered with emotions and experiences (in a good way of course!). Which is probably also why he’s painfully convincing in his drama roles.
Tsu on the other hand, was so much more passive, soft and preferred to fufufu in the background with his bambi eyes blinking under that kawaii hairdo. He has come such a long way. His charm for me now lies in his maturity and drive for life, while retaining that sweetness and fufufu laughter. Obviously, this is besides liking every single one of his body parts. I found myself admiring his fingernails… lol.
Unit wise, I do not think there is a need for me to spell out why the feeling I get is both bitter and sweet, but this feeling just overwhelms me when I watch them perform True Heart. Their first original release together, and with such earnest vocals and harmony *sigh* I really wish that I was part of their fan-campaign for a duo debut. I’m just glad that their bond is as strong as ever… though it has since evolved many times over. This is a unit built on trust, love, and a desire to better themselves. I would say that the biggest charm of T&T besides talent, is genuineness. Yes, they are GENUINELY cute, GENUINELY care for each other and GENUINELY grateful to the fans.
This plainly leads to one thing: If we GENUINELY like, and want them to keep doing what they love, we have to buy originals because we neither contribute to concert ticket sales (hardly anyways) nor TV ratings. But with that being said, the DVD sale figure so far is quite a cheerful one! minna otsukaresamadeshita.
