Some more snapshots from 27Hours TV

Takuya appeared as a surprise guest in Tenjiku Club.

Koda Gumi said we had a surprise guest. Takuya was on the screen. Shingo was surprised that he looked at his watch. It was about 5:00 in the morning.

Takuya said the security did not let him in because only "Namaka" (Theme of this year 27Hours TV) was allowed to get in the Club.
Takuya asked Shingo what did I mean for you?
Shingo answered, "Takuya is my Nakama". And he asked Takuya to get in right now.

When Takuya got in the Club, he touched the hands of the audiences! Lucky girls!

They sang "Gandhara". Shingo forgot the lyrics and Takuya sang at his ear to remind him. So sweet!

Here are the snapshots!

Snapshots from 27Hours TV

In response to your request, I have captured some snapshots of Takuya from 27Hours TV. I just managed to do the part on "Bowling".

Takuya was invited to play the first game. He must do a strike because the rule of the game was that only strike counted. He was at great pressure and he failed. He fell down on the ground(so cute)! Then Shingo just ran to the end of the lane and pushed down all the bowling pins! Haha!
