PRISON BREAK.
This year's New Year holiday was dedicated entirely to Prison Break. haha
I like overseas dramas, and I'd been meaning to watch this one eventually, so the timing was right.
I'm still in the middle of it, though...
Once you start watching, you can't stop.
Let's have another year of enriching our work by making it personal!!
My motto for this year is, "don't overlook the bare basics." they affect everything -- they're the most important.
i do not own this original entry.

Keita's Ameblo Translation: Dec. 31, 2011
Shock!! by Keita
I saw Lady Gaga's performance and I can't go without writing about it!
She's a whole different category in herself!!
It was too amazing!!
Every time you see Gaga's performances, you can sense the potential entertainment to be provided.
But then, at the same time, I get depressed. lol
I can no longer sing perfectly here.*
I start tingling when I see performances around the world!
I met THE ALFEE and Gokuu, two strong foes, so I understand the feeling of being excited!! lol
It's really hard on me, so I'm going to practice right now!!

hanamaru cafe
Here is something different for you all! This is a short section from one of the TV shows Keita was on during his solo years. Let A and B represent the show hosts, whose names I don't know.
A: Up next on Hanamaru Cafe is Keita Tachibana.
Voice: Today's guest is Keita Tachibana. He's the lead singer of the dance-vocal unit w-inds., welcomed not only by Japan, but around Asia. To add on to his activities, this year he also released a new single. He began his solo career last year He's one artist we must definitely keep an active eye out for! What makes Keita Tachibana smile?
Keita: Good morning!
A: Good morning!
Song: Welcome, welcome to Hanamaru Cafe
B: Today our guest is Keita Tachibana. Please regard us kindly!
A: The news we've been hearing is that you've been able to put forth so much power by yourself [as a solo artist].
B: How is it?
Keita: Well, because there's no one to talk to but myself, I end up speaking a lot.
A: You do, do you? We're relying on you, then.
Keita: Okay.
A: Please give us your best regards.
B: For Keita, you said you wanted to eat fruit, so we have these sun-harvested fruits. These are in season from Sun Fruits of Tokyo. Here is their Fruit Medley.
Keita: I love fruits, you know. I often end up ________ and I get hungry. I'm able to eat, and often I do so right away. At my home, there's usually some fruit.
A: Do you like Fruit Zenzai?
Keita: Yeah, I do. You know, there's something about strawberries and pineapples that's really good. That's my absolute favourite.
B: That's what you like?
Keita: Yes.
A: There's your special strawberry.
B: It's very sweet.
A [makes face]: It really cools you down, doesn't it?
B: Are you all right?
A: Yeah. You've got something right there. [to Keita] But you're young, so ________

Requesting for MJ
It recently came to my attention that Music Japan's requests will mainly be in Japanese. As an outsider, I'm not sure what the reaction would be towards an English request and comment. I'm sure if you used simple English, they'd understand you; however, come to think of it, most requests are in Japanese.
Therefore, I attempt to try the following.
As this is a request and a comment section, I may not be able to help everyone with what they want to say. I can try to give you a formula to which you would plug in the songs of your choice. This being said, please note that I'm not a professional at Tokyo-ben, nor do I often place formal requests in this manner.
You may consider including the following:
このテレビ番組で＿＿＿を聞きたいです。含まれてお願いします。i'd like to hear [insert song] on this tv programme. please include it.
このテレビ番組で＿＿＿を含まれてください。お願いします。please include [insert song] on this tv programme. [translates to english equivalent of:] please and thank you.
If you would like to go into further detail, I tried looking around for a translation site from English to Japanese. Sometimes Google Translate can be a bit inconsistent, so I wanted to look outside of that. There is this babylon device which, depending on what you want said, can be done quite nicely. Please keep in mind that there can be multiple ways to say things in Japanese, so just because I wouldn't say something this way, doesn't mean it's incorrect.
If this doesn't work for you, please comment below or send me a message on Twitter including what you want to say on MJ. I will respond to the first five (at least) that I receive.

Keita Tachibana (w-inds.) - Because of You (Ne-Yo cover)
Keita Tachibana (w-inds.) - Because of You (Ne-Yo cover)
Host: Start! ... Ah, Ne-Yo, right?
Keita: Yes. Ne-Yo is awesome.
The song that Keita Tachibana wants to do [literally:cover] live
Want to, but I can’t help it
I love the way it feels,
It’s got me stuck between my fantasy and what is real
I need it when I want it, I want it when I don’t
Tell myself I’ll stop everyday, knowin’ that I won't
I got a problem and I don’t know what to do about it
Even if I did, I don’t know if I would quit but I doubt it
I’m taken by the thought of it, and I know this much is true
Baby, you have become my addiction, I’m so strung out on you
I can barely move but I like it
And it’s all because of you [3X]
And it’s all because…
Never get enough,
She’s the sweetest drug

Today we starred in Waratte Iitomo!
We saw Tamori-san, who we hadn’t seen in a while, and were able to talk with him.
It was something that really made me happy and grateful.
And I was able to get a new cell phone strap!
It’s a miracle, isn’t it. lol
So today was a work day.
Recently I went to the Pigg Dome Live at Ameba.
It was just my first time with this kind of thing, but I’m just so thankful for all of the staff’s concerns.
Everyone is a good person.
Thank you to all the fans who participated.

Our Music by Keita
Today we recorded for "Our Music."
It was this soon-to-be-popular show's debut and as the tension continued,
with the two members of Sukima Switch, we sang Kirei da.
They're both kind older brothers* and they eased the anxiety
and we survived. lol
It's a really good music show, so I'm happy to have made an appearance.
To the two of you from Sukima Switch and the staff,
To all the staff from "Our Music,"
Thank you very very much.
Anyways, there's a good picture of my smile on the producer's blog,
so please check it out. lol
