Before 10 A.M. by Hideaki Takizawa
After the concert, Taki finally has time for himself. He should have time for doing some shopping.
Taki: That's right! I am a shoppaholic! But I usually do my shopping during my breaks at work. Sometimes, I do my shopping alone; other times, I take my friends along. I don't know why, but I've fell in love with drink tea. When I go shopping, I always visit a cafe or a tea stand. I would drink about 4 - 5 cups of beverages. I like the atmosphere in a cafe. It's very relaxing. I don't like going to a cafe that is crowded with teenagers. Instead, I like the old-fashioned tea stand. There are just a lot less people there, and the sofa is wide and soft.
But, wouldn't you create a big scene if you go to a popular place?
Taki: I'm don't worry about it. I guess it's because people in Tokyo are not very passionate. Even if they noticed me, they would only look at me. All they will do is look at me.
What do you do in your free time?
Taki: Making films. Not too long ago, I just finished a black and white movie called " Aiba's Private Life". I've finished filming all five episodes. Nino is a guest star in episode one. For the other four episodes, Aiba plays solo throughout the film except for the special effects. I am the stunt man. But for those that seen the film, they wouldn't have noticed that I was the stunt man. In the video, I have Aiba sleeping while the song "First Love" was played in the background.
On August, I went to Las Vegas and I've taken several camera shots of their landscapes and restaurants. I've selected some of the scenery of Las Vegas and I plan to use them in my movie. I hope I can show everyone my creation.
Taki seemed to have interests in filmmaking. He also likes writing lyrics with Arashi.
Taki: Arashi� I just love them because I'm the one who's behind Arashi�
Is Taki saying that he wants to be an agent?
Taki: Arashi is a really great group. Every member has their specialty, and together all five guys are dynamite. Take Aiba for example, his presence makes other people feel secured. And Jun is a hard working guy. He would do anything that he is able to say. As for Nino, although he doesn't like being bossed around, he wouldn't make others feeling uneasy. And about Ohno, he is very much like Nino, but his character is a lot stronger than Nino. And, who can forget Sho. He is good leader figure for the group. With these 5 components, Arashi is a very strong team.
With the influence of Arashi, Taki finds it more meaningful to write lyrics.
