warning: Takuya flooding to come (I'm too free nowadays)
 
listening to Takuya's radio programme, What's Up SMAP!! now... realised that takuya's voice during the programme, is very often one obtave higher than normal. His mental age will degrade from the usual 22 to 12?! hahahahaha you know... it's because of him being so cute and youthful and... childish(?!) that I like him... ^^
 
of course, once in a while, he will undergo some form of transformation or something... and start talking about serious stuff, at those times, his mental age will become 42... (but that's really once in a while), then, you will start to feel that this fella is really a mature adult. then, he'll start talking about some really foolish joke or action, and then you'll think that he's still a child all over again. ^^
 
you know... everytime I listen to the radio programme... I really can picture his actions and expressions in front of the mike... all animated and lively, unlike the usual him we see on tv... accompanied by that laughter that's 2 obtave higher than his usual voice... that's the Takuya I like. (^-^)
