{~Distances~} The word distance is another simple yet deep word. It can be very superficial, yet very profound. From the perspective of a physicist, it is just a quantity for movement. A product of speed and time. Well, I've been watching two long distances being conquered today. First was the Tsugaru Kaikyou Relay (Tsugaru Straits, the waters separating Hokkaido from Japan's Honshu.), where celebrities, professional athletes and a blind girl participated in a swimming relay to swim from Aomori to Hokkaido. It was 42km long, and the sea was very tough to swim in. They failed to conquer the distance last year, so they sought revenge this year on the 24 Hour TV programme. 24 Hour TV is a special TV programme that airs annually, or maybe not every year, in August. The show runs live for 24 hours straight, and they are hosted by a group of celebrities (recently they all come from Johnny's Entertainment). In the show itself, there are often marathons challenging people's limits. This swim was incredible because it has shown us the determination and teamwork of the swimmers, and the will of a blind girl. Miyagawa Daisuke from ItteQ also participated in the swim to lend help to the blind girl who failed last year. Another distance was the 126.585km marathon ran by Imoto Ayako. Well, I watched all the cut out clips aired during the 24 Hour TV today. It was amazing. She persevered all the while and finally reached her goal, despite being a bit late. Her dream also came true as Tegoshi run forward to give her a tight hug. Her will and determination was amazing. She was referred to in the programme as the Heroine of Heisei. During her run too, they sang ZARD's medley, and during her last 3km, they sang Makenaide, a song which they said Imoto likes a lot. They also repeated the two choruses many many times to drag the show, or something. It was great to see that ZARD is still remembered by everyone. And her songs continue to touch people's hearts, bridging the distance between life and death. Another distance, one which is indeed hard to conquer, is the distance between people. Not the literal meaning, because globalization has helped a lot in shortening distances between people in different countries. But rather, social distances and emotional distances, if I put it that way. Two people may be right beside each another, but their hearts can be miles apart, and the distance cannot be covered easily just by mere power. This distance can hurt because it isolates one's heart from others, and to be able to be beside someone and not be able to communicate or even acknowledge each others' presence is a very painful thing. This distance is the most abstract and most excruciating. I have no idea, all these just popped out of my head all of a sudden. Distances are just amazing. How they can take on many forms and do different things to different people. Anyway, I've seriously come to realize that Massu's smile is really very bright. XD No idea why, but when he smiles, it sort of makes you lighten up too, like what Tegoshi said about Massu's smile in a TV programme before. And Massu's expressions are often very cute and adorable, like in Summer Time and other occasions. During 24 Hour TV, he was trying to direct the camera to Tegoshi and Becky, and he called them "Tegoshi-kun, Becky-kun!". "Becky-kun" is not for a girl like Becky, so everyone laughed and his embarrassed face looked so funny. Of course, the name "Massu" sounds very cute too. Sounds like a rodent or something. XD Anyways, ending this long long post with a video before I go to sleep. Another video from Tegomass, this is a coupling song for their 3rd single, Ai Ai Gasa. The name is Moshimo Boku ga Pochi Dattara, If I Were a Dog. Look at Massu's expressions at times because he makes such funny and cute expressions. *jealous of others' faces* Alright, enjoy the video. The ending part is when they discuss that song title, and look at his face when he went "Pochi?!" and after that. :D It's a little large, but oh well, to see better. :D Good Day! posted at 2:25 AM
