[DVD] Taichi Saotome

003 [Dude. He dances to Metallica with traditional Japanese dance. *O*]
004


Summary: .... so. :D I would like to introduce you all to Taichi Saotome, who was first introduced to me in such a way:

Kelsey: .... :D?
me: ... she's pretty. :o
Kelsey: It's a guy. >D
me: .................. DUDE LOOKS LIKE A LADY!!!

And thus, my :o-ness with Taichi began. (Mainly because I had been immersed in the Japanese culture for so long, I didn't hit-and-miss of male vs. female anymore. I was intrigued. XD) So upon further investigation and through chatting with Kelsey for more info, I discovered that he plays an 'onnagata,' which in traditional Japanese theatre means that he's a male who takes on the female roles. And... dude. He's really, really, really pretty. XDXD And to make things even better? He makes an adorable boy. :3 ♥

So, as I was saying before I got all link happy... XD Taichi is a performer in a Japanese theatre. There's a lot more detail in the bio link that I gave to you guys, so if you truly are interested in seeing and learning more, definitely check it out! If you still aren't completely convinced, well... I have a couple of YouTube video links for you. :D

Video 001
Video 002
(Second video is more like a fanvideo, so... he doesn't necessarily go with the music, but you can still see him in action! :Dv)
Video 003
Ripped performance from the DVD that I upped. ^^

Anyway, in regards to the download links--the first download, 15 sai, is actually his DVD. It has some performances on it, some interviews, opens with him performing some dances in his onnagata role. And then there are some backstage clips and he's just generally adorable. (Seriously, people. He's fluffy. Love him~ ♥) The second set of download clips are from his site. Anyone can snag them, and I just upped them to MU so that you guys can hopefully download them a bit quicker than the site's bitrate. They're .wmv files and the quality is a bit lower because it looks like they're from recording that was a bit shoddy, but... hey. Free clips and you get to see him in action! He dances as an onnagata, in kimono, to Metallica. Please at least try that clip out. :D?

And, finally, rules for the download links: Feel free to snag the links to share the Taichi adoration, but give credit back to me and this post. I ripped this DVD specifically for my use and for Kelsey's use. If I find out that you guys are claiming that the rip is yours, I will track you down and there will be hell to pay. >\ Most of you guys know that Japanese hard-to-get DVDs don't come cheap. So don't do it.

Other than that, enjoy the pretty. ♥

....y'know, I was planning on downloading that drama SP, anyway, but now I have even more reason to. *O* I just wonder which gender he'll be playing. XD Tegoshi/Taichi! \:D/

Odori to Metallica = ♥
....seriously. When you gave me the link to that video and I watched, I was so insanely impressed with his performance. *O*

Nooooo. XD I just wanted to do something to surprise you with, and to hold you until you have enough money to buy the DVD for yourself. :3 Did you like the video? XD

drama - Shabake

And you can probably download from D-Addicts, or the NewS community ([info]news_jpop) would probably have it up for download when the show is aired. ^^ ♥

I AM SO GLAD YOU HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED TO THE GREATNESS OF SAOTOME TAICHI***
I have known about him for a while now because he has been popping up in many TV shows.
Do you know Kitano Takeshi??

He is really into Taichi, too.
Actually, he's probably the one who got everyone's recognition for Taichi ;)

Thanks for putting up avi!!
I have been trying to DL everything, but school internet...GAH :Z

Noooo. XDXD I don't know Kitano Takeshi. XD Who is he?

But I'm glad that you're happy about the movie. Just... hope that your internet lets you download it soon. :D;;; *pokes it* (And wanna help me sub the DVD once it's downloaded? XD;)

*miiiiiiiiisses* ;~; ♥

um i dont know why but i can't access the files 002-005 of 15 sai... i used vlc or vcl player for the first one but it wouldn't work for the rest of them. so im wondering what player did u use or somehow change the file? when i download it, it saves as Taichi Saotome - 15 Sai.avi.003 for example and somehow i can't just delete the .003 part for it to work. help me plz?
