When they were asked about their New Year’s routine, and otoshidama presents from their seniors during Countdown, Nakajima Kento commented, “I did not get any money but for me, my otoshidama was, though it’s a little early… I was able to spend that day with Kamenashi (Kazuya), Masuda (Takahisa), Yamada (Ryosuke), Okamoto (Keito) and Johnny-san, we went to eat soba noodles that night so for me that’s a nice equivalent”.

Usual New Year!? Tackey Gives Otoshidama to 180 People!


On December 3rd it was revealed to the press a New Year special performance of “JOHNNY’S World”, stage-play dedicated to the Guinness Certification of Johnny Kitagawa (81), with the participation of Takizawa Hideaki (30), entitled “JOHNNY’S World New Year with Tackey”.

JW is a long run stage-play that started on November last year and will go on until March. During the second act of the said performance, Takizawa took over the stage with a special edition of “Takizawa Kakumei”, and he will perform there until January 6th. “Since this is a New Year Special I wanted to try to put some laughter into it”, Takizawa said. A smiling Nakayama Yuma (18) added, “Even though we worked hard, we were able to relax and enjoy the show while performing”.

Takizawa is used to perform during New Year’s and answer persistent questions from reporters about otoshidama given the occasion, “I’ve tried to not come out a lot so I won’t have to give otoshidama to everybody”, he said with a bitter smile. “But it feels good so of course I have to do it. After all, I also get otoshidama from a lot of people, including Higashiyama-san”. The amount was not revealed but he admitted giving otoshidama to all 180 performers of JW.

*NOTE* Audience was also given otoshidama of 5yen that day by Tackey as shown in the picture.

“Tackey Can Get Married Without Asking Us Ahead” Says Johnny Kitagawa


Tackey & Tsubasa‘s Hideaki Takizawa appeared for a dress rehearsal for “Johnny’s World” last New Year’s Eve at Marunouchi, Tokyo. Takizawa will do a special performance for the said play where the rehearsals have been open for reporters. Takizawa was last seen on stage with “Shinshun Jinsei Kakumei” where he starred with the late Mori Mitsuko who died last November.

Tackey & Tsubasa celebrated their 10th year anniversary last 2012, which was also the year when Takizawa turned 30 years old. The reporters, who were interested with Takizawa’s private life, asked him questions, like “when will be hearing a good news[marriage] soon?” to which Takizawa responded, “there are no plans yet, but the desire is there…”

When it comes to matters of love life, Takizawa is being given Laissez-faire or let-alone policy by Johnny Kitagawa. “He has the freedom to do what he wishes, he deserves it.” Kitagawa has full trust and confidence to Takizawa as compared to Akanishi Jin, whom Kitagawa imposed harsh measures, after Akanishi failed to inform Kitagawa about his marriage beforehand.

About Takizawa succeeding Johnny’s drive when it comes to producing stage performances since Takizawa himself is an “idea man”. “I hope to play the role of manager if I can’t become a film director in the future,” Takizawa related. Johnny responded that he won’t interfere with Takizawa so he could concentrate with behind-the-scenes events. Creating “Tackey’s World” may indeed happen in the near future.
