    A million and one "thank you's", Bookworm!! Hug (Posting gifs never seems to work for me for some reason. . .)

    I've decided that for this particular gif, I have to cut my viewing time down to 10 seconds. . .or else I'll try to lick my computer screen again. . .

    HAHA! No licking allowed! Well, no more, at least.

    Is it just me or does Shinpei look oddly older here? I think his eyes look different. Of course, I am still comparing him to Ouran, but he really does look a little different. Very much older. What do you think?

    Dude, I was TOOOOOOOOOTALLY thinking the same thing the other day.

    For one thing, I think he's gaining back the weight he lost for role has Hikaru (I noticed his face looked kind of gaunt and sunken in in certain episodes).

    Oh sure, he's still scrawny, but you can definitely see it in his face, his cheeks are all nice and chunky again Smile

    And I agree he definitely looks older here. . .but I think it has something to do with his clothes too. I think this is actually the first role I've seen him in where he didn't look/act like a teenager. . .he actually looked, well. . .kinda manly here Cool

    Even the way he spoke (using his natural voice) and carried himself. . .very mature and adult. . .

    For a change Shinpei actually (dare I say it??)looked like a 26 year old man!!

    I've never seen him like that before. . .it may take some getting used to, but I kinda like it Very Happy

    It'd be cool if he did more roles like that in the future.

    I like it too. I like it when the two of them act like teens, but I really enjoy it when their adult sides shine through, reminding us that it is legal to oogle them Onion XD Sorry, had to say it Onion Daydreaming

    Oh, I totally agree.

    It's cute when they portray "loveable brats" but manly Manpei and manly Shinpei is definitely just as good Onion Thumbs Up

    I think it kind of shows what they've been saying a lot lately, how they want to grow as actors and adapt to playing all different types of roles. I think they do a pretty damn good job of it!!

    I know there's plenty of American actors who are twice their age and constantly play the same times of roles over and over again year after year. . . Rolling Eyes

    That's why I love the Twinpei's. . .they aren't just pretty faces :3 Nodding They actually have talent in those gangly little bodies!!

    Alrighty-roo!!

    As promised, here's episode 10 of Akibarangers complete with subtitles!! cheers

    I'm actually surprised they were ready this soon. . .but apparently this show is very popular right now.

    (If only someone had been this fast with subs for "Indigo no Yoru" Mad )

    *sighs*

    Anyway, just remember to click on the "CC" button at the bottom of the video for the subtitles. . .I'm not sure if this video will be up permanently or if youtube will take it down (again) so try to watch before they snatch it away from us LOL

    Plus I've already watched it and there's SOOO much I wanna discuss with you guys!! (about the show, Shinpei's character, etc)

    Let me know when you ladies are done watching it,'kay? Very Happy

    Enjoy!

    AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
    THOSE EYES!! THOSE BEAUTIFUL DEEP BROWN WINKING EYES!!!!

    Onion Love Eyes Onion Starry Eyes Onion Skipping Onion Love Onion Nosebleed Dead Onion

    Is there ANYTHING more precious than Shinpei winking at us? Now that I think back..there is. Manpei winking at us, while giving us that seductive bedroom look. OR both of them winking at us and giving the bedroom look. Mushy gushy!! I want them to do that!! I bet my pants won't just fly away and my ovaries will burn to ashes, but my entire being would be called back to Heaven on the spot because they have the power to change the world. <--reference; Hatsune Miku's song (Nebula)

    I hope my mum doesn't die of heart attack when she sees the gif I've saved in my files. She now have a profound and obvious crush on Shinpei... (me; Suspect )

    And you're right about Shinpei looking like an almost 27-year-old in this. Though it's refreshing to see them act/look so young and carefree, but it's also great to see them act/look their own age as well.
    I don't know which side to pick though, but as long as they can balance their mature and childish side, hey, any side of them is fine by me Very Happy

    Anyways about that video...

    Onion Stress Load Damn thing kept getting stuck every two minutes..I can't watch the video properly without having to reload from where I left off.. I suppose it'll be a while before what's going on with my computer to be better again, and I hope by then it's not too late...

    Thanks for posting the video, Mrs. Takagi! I don't have time to watch it right now, but I will try and watch it this evening so we can talk about it. Oh, and I am still checking for Indigo No Yoru subs, but nothing new in that department T_T

    Also, Rena, breath, breath, calm down. If you die then we will not be able to fangirl with us, and that I will NOT allow! Onion Red Card LOL

    I'm so sorry about that Rena-chan T_T

    And I don't think it's just your computer though, because mine does the same thing. In the past for youtube, when you watched a video, USUALLY it would load all the way to the end of the clip, and then you could watch it all the way through with no problem.
    But lately it's been doing this thing where the video won't load unless the clip is already playing, and it just loads as you watch it (which I hate Rolling Eyes ) Sometimes the video will suddenly stop loading and you have to restart the page and all this other nonsense. . . Mad

    I hope you get to watch it soon though! I've watched it 4 times already Razz

    WARNING:SPOILER ABOUT THE EPISODE

    Spoiler:

    Episode 11, which Shin will also be in airs in Japan on friday, which means the subs for that episode should be ready by sunday night. . . Onion Laugh


    Bookworm, thanks for still keeping tabs on the Indigo no Yoru subs.

    I was actually thinking about that earlier when I was watching Akibaranger. . .I couldn't figure out how this show, which JUST came out. . .has people subbing the episodes within DAYS of it airing in Japan.
    Whereas Indigo no Yoru, which came out about 2 and a half years ago. . .still has no English subtitles yet?. Onion Hypnotised

    And there were a lot of popular actors on that show, including the twins (meaning more possible fans for the show). . .I mean if subbers can suddenly pop out of nowhere to sub all of these other short-lived dramas between then and now. . .how come a drama that lasted for 60+ episodes hasn't been subbed yet?? Onion To Kill

    I mean even the Ouran drama episodes got subbed in less than a week. . .there's some crazy conspiracy going on here!!! Onion Outrage

    *calms down*

    I'm okay now.

    It's just that Indigo is such a good show and I've already seen the whole series twice now. . .It'd be nice to understand more than 5% of the dialouge, know what I mean?

    I still totally appreciate the sub-team that offered to provide English captions for Indigo. . .but I still can't believe it took THIS long for anyone sub the show at all. . . No

    All well, moving on. . .during my usual boredom at home today, I found some useless yet interesting information.(Well, it was interesting to me anyway. . .lol)

    According to what I read, on the show Gekirangers (I don't know how familiar you guys are with the characters real names, besides "Retsu")
    but when you put the characters names together; Restu, Gou, Ran and Jan apparently their names were chosen so that when you read that whole sentence with a *Japanese accent*, it's supposed to sound like "Let's go run and jump" X-D

    LOL I get a kick out of that for some reason. . .(I'm a nerd, I know)

    And the second thing is. . .

    according to a Japanese myth, when two people who are madly in love with each other each commit suicide (Romeo and Juliet style), they will be reincarnated in the next life as. . .you guessed it. . .TWINS!!! cheers

    I don't know about you guys, but I think that explains SOOOO much!

    I truly believe Man and Shin were lovers in a past life, there's just no other way to explain it. . . :3 Nodding

    Part of me also thinks that they were girls in a past life, but that's another story. . . Big Laugh


    (But wait a second. . .wouldn't that also possibly mean that in a past life, the Twinpei's were. . .a lesbian couple? Suspect)

    I really need to get a life. . .ASAP.

    Hi! I haven't had time to watch the episode yet, but hopefully tomorrow I will. So Shinpei is a character from America, huh? Now that is interesting. I look forward to watching the show even more Surprised

    Yeah, the Indigo subs is such a stupid situation. I enjoyed watching the 5 episodes I did. Even without being able to understand them, it was still a great show. Of course, I had the plotline for those 5 episodes from two sources, so I knew what was going on, but I was still confused at some points Suspect

    And, Mrs. Takagi, yes, you do need to get a life. But so do I, so, welcome to the club Laughing I was talking to my friend today and we agreed that we both need to get a life. Then she said that I actually went out and found a 'life' on the Internet, with this Forum, Tumblr blogs, BIGBANG stuff, Ouran stuff, etc. I agree with her :3 Nodding It may be a weird life, but it's mine cheers Besides, if I found a normal 'life', I would have never met you all! I like having friends like you girls who are interested in different things, like Ouran and Takagi stuff, instead of 'normal' things. Normal things are boring. I prefer discussing the chances of twin brothers being, in another life, a lesbien couple. Big Laugh

    HEY EVERYONE!!!! Smile

    I'm so sad that our lovely group has been reduced....
    I've been trying to keep up! Lurking once in a while, all that....But life has kinda gone hectic! With graduation, placement exams, hosting a party in a few days, work, and college orientation! I'm gonna die. Dead Onion

    But I DID watch the akibarangers episode! It was interesting.....And let's just say I screamed a few times when Shinpei came on.... Onion T_T

    Rena....Once again, your picture edits are BEAUTIFUL. Just sayin'.

    Mrs. Takagi.....I think that you are possibly the goddess of videos...You find EVERYTHING!!! *in awe*

    Also....Look what ichigo-kurimu posted! Has anyone else seen this before???

    Twins appreciation Tumblr_m5izskB5F21r0hl8do1_400

    I squealed quite a bit after seeing it....

    She also had a report put up of the Onikiri Hime performance....


    Spoiler:

    I feel like the whole part where Manpei wouldn't tell what he and Shinpei do sounds...interesting. Hmmmmm.....Like you guys said before, maybe they were lovers in their past life??? Cunnin Onion Idea

    Reine!! I remember you hun, how ya been? Hug

    Yeah, our formally bustling fan forum has now been reduced to less than 10 followers now. . .

    It's such a same too. . .we even had some new members who stopped dropping by after 4 or 5 posts. . . Corner of Woe

    But the 'Twins Appreciation' page is alive and kicking, I promise you that!! Onion Thumbs Up Sorry you've been so caught up in actually having a life (I wish I could say the same lol)I really hope you'll be dropping by more often though ^_^


    You got to watch Akibaranger?! Awesomeness!! I lost count of how many times I saw Shinpei smile, I was gushing the whole time. I actually had to remind myself that less than 10 months ago, he was playing a 16-year-old high school first year. . .

    I'm looking forward to episode 11 though, it's supposed to be a big turning point.

    I LOOOOOOOOOOVE finding these videos for you guys!!! cheers It can take hours hunting and pecking for this stuff though. . .and I get irritated with just how hard it is to find these videos. . .specifically about the twins. I think there's fangirling out there holding out on us. . . Onion Red Card

    I've absolutely seen that photo of the twins before. . .I found myself staring at it FOREVER the first time I saw it. . . Onion Love
    Mostly because it's so easy to tell who is who: they smile the EXACT same way now as they did then!

    Manpei====>cute smirk

    Shinpei====> 1000 watt smile


    Plus, they look just adorable then as they do now!! Onion XD
    I'm sure they took like a zillion pictures of them together when they were younger, I hope they post more like that in the future.

    And I checked out that stage-talk from the 'Onikiri Hime' play as well.

    I adore how Manpei and Shinpei always end up talking about each other when they do interviews seperately. It almost NEVER fails, you know? Razz

    It seemed like Manpei was trying to hide something there to me. . .I don't care what he says, I think some pretty interesting stuff goes on in that apartment they share. (I mean if they fold each others clothes. . .INCLUDING each others underwear. . .there's got to be more juicy info there too Twisted Evil )

    I can totally picture Shinpei stealing money out of Manpei's piggy bank, but then trying to replace it. . .they're mean to each other and then nice to each other. . .just like a married couple!! Smile It's so cute!!

    That reminds me,I actually found a bunch of magazine articles about the twins (or that included the twins). I found like over 20 pages, but all I could do was look at the pretty pictures because there are NO translations for the interviews n stuff. . . T_T

    I'm sure we'd know SOOOOO much more about them from those magazine articles. . .

    After I've had myself a little nap, I'll come back and post them a bit laterz :3 Nodding

    Yeah, it was good LOL

    I LOVED it! I loved how they parodied Power Rangers/Geki Rangers so well, and it was hilarious! I laughed a lot. I love how they don't take anything seriously.

    And Shinpei...Wow, he was gorgeous, as usual. I loved his character and acting Onion Thumbs Up I really loved the part where they pointed out Manpei's part in GekiRanger, that was a nice touch Cunning Onion Now Shinpei gets to beat up bad guys with really bad choreography and while wearing a really stupid suit.

    Yaaaaaaaaaay!!! I'm so glad that you finally got a chance to watch it!

    And your conclusion about the show is the exact same as mine! Onion Laugh

    The first time I watched it, I actually forced myself to sit through the whole thing and not just fast-forward to Shinpei's parts. . .lol

    I actually got so lost in the plot a couple of times, I forgot about the main person I was waiting to see in the first place! In my opinion, I actually like Akibaranger ALOT better than Gekiranger (Sorry, Manpei)

    Like you said, I like how the show is more of parody, and it's all just a bunch of nonsense. Like. . . it's cheesy, but the purpose of the show is to play up on that (obvious) fact. It's like it's poking fun at itself, y'know?

    Gekirangers was cheesy, but tried to hide it or pretend that it WASN'T cheesy by making the plot all "menacing" and serious. . .personally, I found it hard to put up with a lot of the time Neutral

    I cracked up at the "Gekiblue" reference Razz I've noticed that during the few TV shows that the twins have starred in seperately. . .the other twin ALWAYS manages to make a cameo appearance anyway Big Laugh

    -Shinpei in "Cafe Kichijoji de"
    -Shinpei again in "Gekiranger"
    -Manpei in "Akibaranger"

    Always together, even when they really aren't. . .how lovely Hug

    Anyway, this ep was definitely a goodie, and I'm glad Shinpei's character gets to stick around for another episode. There's a rumor that his character is actually one of the bad guys in disguise. After watching this ep for the 2nd and 3rd time, I also got the feeling that something seemed a bit "fishy". . . Suspect

    Episode 11 should be ready by this weekend, I'll probably watch the RAW version as soon as it comes out, but now that I know you guys prefer to wait for the subtitles, I'll wait for the subbed version to come out and just post that on here instead Very Happy


    OH YEA!

    And something else I just figured out. . .the guy who plays the "regular" Akiba Red on this show (his character's name is Akagi Nobuo, but I can't think of the actors name right now). But anyway, when I saw him and Shinpei together, I got this strange feeling like I'd seem them together before. . .

    I can't believe I didn't recognize his face/voice at first, but after going through my "Takagi File" I finally figured it out.

    Twins appreciation 20091210

    That's him in the middle! In Indigo no Yoru he played "Jyonta, the #1 host at Club Indigo".
    Or as I like to call him "The guy who always had a huge afro for some reason Shocked "

    I think the twins have worked with him like 2-3 times before in the past. . .and I can't remember his name, but I'm too lazy to look it up!! Onion Tantrum
    I only remembered because Akagi's character likes to yell a lot and as I recall, "Jyonta" was always shouting for some reason. . .

    ('Moichi' and 'Mosaku' often did stuff that made Jyonta yell at them too. . . Cunning Onion )

    I TOTALLY forgot I promised to post those magazine scans I found with the twins. . .I'll post them here later, I promise this time!! Onion Bows

    And yes, they have been in various things together. Like that one stage play......OTL now I'm the one forgetting names. Kaze......something something. LOL! *fails* um, I know there are other things but my mind is going blank right now. It's dangerous coming here.........that Shinpei gif should come with a warning. XDDDDDDDDDDD When I first saw it a couple of days ago, I think I stopped breathing for a couple of seconds. Literally took my breath away. ROFL!!! *being cheesy*

    Anyway, I'll be back on Friday. I MISS YOU ALL!!!! TT_____________TT I have a very important test in like five hours so I'll keep studying. KEEP FANGIRLING FOR ME!!!

    oh and now I have the mental image of Shinpei folding Manpei's underwear. XDDDDDDDDD Well I suspected that they folded each other's clothes from time to time but I thought it would be Manpei doing the folding. XD BUT IT'S JUST SO CUTE HOW MANPEI GETS ALL SHY AND EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT!! <33333333333333333 That's his obvious way of showing us that he loves Shinpei. XD Kind of how Shinpei's face lights up when he talks about Manpei. XD Two different reactions but it's the same love message they give each other~ hahahahahahaha! ok I'll be back laterrrrrrrrr~

    Waaahh...I've been a horrible fangirl because I haven't been here a couple of days!! I think it's because of choir practice that's making me rushed all over the place between school and home.
    Sadly we lost...and my friend cried...I just felt numb..
    Rain on My Parade

    Anyways, regarding their childhood picture, I can only say how far apart our ages are. To think, when they reached the age of 10, I'm only 8 months 27 days old.. But those two are adorable even since they're kids..and obviously that's Shinpei on his brother's lap Rolling Eyes

    Heavens I want to write more but my mind and body are both DRAINED from the competition today..I could just collapse in front of the computer and not bother about it....

    Sorry senpai...but I need to recharge properly before I can fangirl like my usual crazy self..

    AH, THAT'S IT!

    Thank you, Seto-chan! Hug


    It's good to hear from you again! And good luck on your test today, too! If you get stressed out, just think about the Twinpei's. It may not help you remember the correct answers, but you'll definitely calm down (it works for me anyway Razz )


    I actually can't believe that I forgot to post up "Onikiri Hime Talk Show" translations from ichigo-kurimu Rolling Eyes
    You'll get the full details on the whole "folding underwear" thing as well as some other goodies such as. . .

    -What underwear Manpei prefers to wear Onion Nosebleed
    -What he does that means him feel like a "demon"

    -An annoying habit that Shinpei has and the cute way he tries to make it up to Manpei



    (To be honest, I always assumed that the twins did their laundry seperately, but from the way Manpei explained it, not only do they do their laundry together, but they take turns folding it as well! Underwear included apparently Onion Laugh )

    I wish they could've just spent the whole time asking Man about him and Shin. . .I personally find them a lot more interesting compared to what the other actors were saying (no offense to them)

    I'll put it under spoilers since it's kind of long.




    Spoiler:


    ALSO!!

    Ichigo-kurimu translated Manpei's blog entry from a few hours ago. True to his humble personality, he once again thanks every single person who had anything to do with helping him do well in his last production (he's so sweet!! Onion Starry Eyes )

    Needless to say, this post is long too, so I'll be tucking it under 'spoilers' as well, hehehe



    Spoiler:


    Since Shinpei is working on "Code Geass" right now, I'm not sure what Manpei will be doing between now and the rehearsals for "Little Alice". He DID mention that he has another job coming up before that. . .and as usual, we the fans have to be kept in the dark about that "secret project" for the time being. . . Onion Attacked by Te


    I'm hoping he'll do like Shin and make a cameo appearnce in a TV show (you know, something we can actually WATCH??)

    And lastly, here's some photos from the "Onikir Hime" play via Stardust Mobile aka my Current Biggest Enemy Evil or Very Mad


    Spoiler:

    Dashing, Prince Manpei. . .absolutely dashing!!

    Things have been reeeeally quiet lately, hasn't it? With setolove-senpai's busy life and my -insane- school life, the thread's second in line behind the fook ya thread.

    Mrs.Takagi wrote:What underwear Manpei prefers to wear

    ...I think only Shinpei knows considering he's seen rummaging through his brother's underwear closet. God knows what was going through that boy's mind when he saw the Mickey Mouse with a tail boxer Manpei owns. Rolling Eyes
    But I also can't help but wonder...what else does Manpei like to wear..? Does Shinpei give him underwear for a prank present?
    Seeing how Shinpei is somewhat...into underwear, I think he'd do the latter when he was younger Laughing

    Mrs.Takagi wrote:To be honest, I always assumed that the twins did their laundry seperately, but from the way Manpei explained it, not only do they do their laundry together, but they take turns folding it as well! Underwear included apparently

    And the imagination for fanservice goes wild on this. Oh the wonderful thoughts going through my mind right now...
    Onion Nosebleed
    *cough* I think that's enough daydreaming about these two...uhh..brothers for a while.

    And about that blog post, I so wish he'd take another nice picture of himself, I haven't edited a single picture in days and how my hand itches to edit their pretty picture. By the way, we haven't heard anything from Shinpei yet, have we? I hope he's doing fine in his Code Geass thing.
    I shall be waiting for his photo with anticipation!!

    [2012.06.15] Takgai Shinpei

    I’m Not Going to Lose

    Good evening

    Sorry for not updating in awhile.

    It’s been hard during rehearsals to update.

    It’s been rehearsals everyday recently. Although roughly we went through the first act.

    Personally I think there’s still so much I need to improve on.

    There’s so much to remember.

    It feels like my head is exploding.

    It feels like my body is not expressing the way I want to express in my brain.

    It’s really frustrating.

    Everyday on the way home I reflect on my faults and review for tomorrow.

    There’s not a lot of rehearsals left, tomorrow I need to concentrate even more.

    When you finally climb to the top of the mountain it feels great, the scenery is great right. (*refering to how when he is finally sucessful in a great play)

    I promise to make this great.

    I won’t lose.

    Well.

    Time to read the script and review.

    I’m going to try my best!

    Good night.


    He sounds so stressed! Sad

    Aaahh..thank you Reine-san!
    Wow, reading that alone makes me feel somewhat depressed but seeing how he doesn't want to give up, kinda makes me elavated again. I bet you all agree when I say we felt the same way throughout our lives, right?

    There's the times where we felt like so stressed out because of what's been going on and thinking, how the heck am I supposed to go through with this? The stress is overwhelming! But when thinking of our happiness and happiness of others in the end, makes us strive to go forward no matter how difficult it is.

    Despite his cheery and easy-going, simple attitude, I have to say Shinpei is strong. As in, mentally strong.
    The failures in life makes him tough and he mask his sadness with that smile of his. Even the death of their loveable grandmother (may she rest in peace) he could still go to talk shows and such, though with a pained expression, but he's good at hiding it.

    Truth be told, there are times I felt like crying for his sake, but I know that he and Manpei wouldn't want to get their fans, friends and family worried so they always try to cover up their sadness with something.

    So in the end all we could do is cheer them on.
    And by golly I shall DO THAT! Don't worry Shin-chan!! You'll get through your problems without a hitch! GANBATTEYO!!!!!

    Now I'm off to edit his picture :3 Nodding

    Domo! Smile

    It's amazing how people stay so busy over the summer (well, people who actually have lives, unlike me. . . Rolling Eyes )

    The summertime makes me cranky anyway, so with certain exceptions of course, I prefer to stay indoors anyway.

    (Mrs.Takagi=Good-for-nothing-lazy-bum) Onion Yawn

    Anywho. . .Reine-chan, thanks for posting up the translations!

    I definitely get a lot of power from reading about how hard the Twinpei's are working. I actually think that one of the FEW times they actually act like mature adults is when it comes to their work.

    'Cuz when they AREN'T working, they revert back to 16-year-olds Razz

    I think they're very strong mentally. To see how much they put into what they do really makes me not want to be such a lazy bum, you know? (In my defense, I'm only lazy during the summertime!)

    I could go on and on forever about how much I admire what they do and how they do it. They're just so beautiful inside and out. Hug

    Can't wait to see your next photo edit, Rena-chan! Very Happy I was just looking at Shinpei's blog photo again, and I just noticed that Shin is TOTALLY lying in bed in that photo! LOL

    He and Manpei have the same black/leather headboard, and it looks like they have the same pillow case as well. Not that I'm complaining (much) but Shin doesn't really take crazy/random photos of himself in bed like Man does.

    Wassup with that, Shinpei?? Evil or Very Mad


    Speaking of which, I was finally able to track down episode 11 of Akibaranger. At this point I'm not sure what to make of it since the subs aren't available yet and I really couldn't understand what was going on.
    (Especially how Shinpei's character "Tsuzuki Takuma" made his final exit. . .I really didn't get it. Neutral )

    But anyway, Shin-chan did I really good job.

    Here's some screencaps that ichigo-kurimu took with her cellphone of episode 11. Shinpei looks so cool, ne? :3 Nodding

    Spoiler:


    To be honest, I'm actually looking forward to either one or both the Twinpei's being cast in a TV show as regulars again, and not just as guest stars. As we all know, they seriously have the talent it takes to be the lead in a role: comedy, drama, sci-fi or even action/adventure.

    Not to mention, it's kind of frustrating when they do back-to-back plays throughout the year and all we non-Japanese resident fangirls can do is just read about it. . . No

    Oh,and speaking of plays, here's a little announcement Manpei left on his blog a couple of hours ago (translation also courtesy of ichigo-kurimu)

    Twins appreciation La10

    [2012.06.16]

    I can't post the edited picture, and I've done it with such passion too! This always happen when my computer slows down. It'll probably take me days until I can post it, and I don't think I can wait that long...
    oh well..nothing I can do for now..

    Mrs.Takagi wrote:He and Manpei have the same black/leather headboard, and it looks like they have the same pillow case as well. Not that I'm complaining (much) but Shin doesn't really take crazy/random photos of himself in bed like Man does.

    Pillowcase..? Suspect Senpai, are you sure those are pillowcases? From what I know (thanks to them both posting pictures of each other sleeping Rolling Eyes ) they have no pillowcase. That's their normal, pillowcase-less brown pillow on their equally bedsheet-less mattress.
    Kinda normal for a couple of single guys.. Razz But I do wish they'd put on SOMETHING over those empty beds.

    -staring at Shinpei's picture again-
    -compares to Manpei's bed in Takagi file-

    Yup, that's their original-coloured pillow, not a pillowcase in sight.

    And I think the whole reason Shin-chan doesn't take a picture of himself in bed is because (my theory);

    1) he's not that much of a teaser like Manpei
    2) he only shows that kind of seductive pose to Manpei and ONLY Manpei.

    That's just a theory though, it'll be the talk of the century among the Princesses if that's to be true. Razz

    Senpai, when you said this, I felt..I dunno..strange, but in a good way. I think seeing them together doing all sorts of things (get yar mind outta ze gutter!) excites me. It's been a while since they make lovey-dovey posts for each other and help each other around the house like cooking and cleaning.
    I wanna see Shin-chan cook for Manpei again!!
    And Manpei sweetie..DYE YOUR HAIR BACK TO BROWN!!! Onion To Kill


    By the way, before I forgot, thanks for posting the screencaps here and the blog translation. I have a love for the rain too..it's just so soothing to my ears and helps lull me to sleep.
    This is where Manpei goes sentimental, but I like this side of him, don't you all agree? Very Happy

    And Shinpei looks so charming in that red outfit! He looks so manly except in the screencap with the two girls there..that smile once again made him revert back to a 16-year-old. So cute~~!! :3 Nodding

    ...Now...I'll try to wait until the 'host picture' button is back..computer so slow, so agonizing..ugh..

    OH DANG ITTTT. I was really looking forward to seeing your picture edit Rena!!! Is there a problem wrong with your computer? Have you clean out the mechanics inside? Maybe they're too dusty...

    I agree...They're both so...perfect. I think they're the type of people that will forever stay in everyone's hearts. IWe've never even heard anything but compliments about them!

    Wait. What??? They don't use bedcovers or pillowcases???? How does that even work???

    And Manpei has such passion for his work!!!! I think I understand how he feels though. I had a dream last night about acting...And all the emotions were so vivid, it was amazing!!!

    So....How is it that Shinpei is the more playful one and Manpei the shyer one yet he's the one that teases us all the time????

    No no no..it's not the mechanics or anything, it's the Internet. I use Maxis Broadband stick which has to be paid monthly for it to be fast. Apparently I've forgotten to include this month's amount when I paid for it a couple of weeks ago! Mad Now I have to wait for a while until it's fast again!! GAAHH!!

    ReineChui wrote:Wait. What??? They don't use bedcovers or pillowcases???? How does that even work???

    Nope, they don't use it. If you were to dig deeper into the thread (not sure if it's this one or the other one), you'd see a picture of Manpei sleeping without bedsheets and pillowcases.
    I'd love to post the picture for you..but my Internet's a bitch right now... Evil or Very Mad

    ReineChui wrote:So....How is it that Shinpei is the more playful one and Manpei the shyer one yet he's the one that teases us all the time????

    I think it's because he's playful that he doesn't like to show us some skin. Remember, Shinpei's the socialite, always wanting to do things in the light and making himself known. Manpei on the other hand tends to move to the shadows where he shows his 'darker' side. He's not that much of a socialite therefore he's Shinpei's shadow, hence my deduction. Knowing he's got some VERY sexy smile, Manpei tends to put that to good use to tease us secretly.

    Shinpei can't do that because..let me start from the beginning.

    Twins are one half of a whole where one person's personality is split. Shinpei holds the 'bright' half, Manpei holds the 'shadow' half. We could tell this because Shinpei's so eager and playful and you can see the glint in his eyes 24/7.
    Manpei on the other hand is more stealthy, quiet and 'mysterious'. He's not that open like Shinpei and there are times you can see he has that ominous, strange cloud behind him saying 'I'm up to something' or the likes. Especially when he leers or glares, and even when he's upset and his eyes narrows.

    I know this because I can relate myself to Manpei. I move to the shadows where my actions are hidden. And because of his shadow-y tendencies that Manpei likes to take some...teasing pictures unlike Shinpei who's uncomfortable to show his sexy side. This is because he's got less shadow personality since most of them's transferred to Manpei.

    In short, Manpei's bolder than Shinpei, he just likes to do it in the dark and the comfort of his room. I think Manpei's the boldest of them all.
