Just released on the 23rd!~! ….the handsomest + cutest!! + I WANT THEM~♡~! duo on planet earth returned with a new double A~side single release!!
Now if you recall their “Trip & Treasure” album which was released waaaaay back in 2011, there was the inclusion of the song titled “Yamanotesen Sotomawari” which paid homage to the Yamanote Line and so now a few years later Tackey & Tsubasa revisits the motif with a now sequel titled “Yamanotesen Uchimawari~Ai no meiro~” featuring comedian Nakagawa Reiji with a no holds barred tribute to all that is the life of a railroad geek =P!
“Yamanotesen Uchimawari~ai no meiro~” is available in three versions: Limited Edition singles types A and B include an additional DVD, each exclusively with one of the double A-side music videos (ahhh a reason to purchase both of course!! =) ) while the regular edition includes two exclusive songs which aren’t included on either LE version.

All first pressings come with these oh~too~cute stickers ~♡, stickers which you readily know you will never dare use as they’re nothing like those Little Mermaid stickers that I had when I was very very little which I then proceeded to stick to various places in my bedroom not yet realizing that I so should have kept them intact (´∩`*)。
~Tackey & Tsubasa’s single “Yamanotesen Uchimawari~ai no meiro~” can be ordered @ Cdjapan~
~Tackey & Tsubasa “Jikan ryokou second!” (mv)~
I’d usually start with the first version however on this occasion I’m going to begin with the second, or more specifically, single type B’s A-side exclusive music video as it was produced with the cutest and most amusing animations (*´∀`*) ♪~♪。
Just imagine Tackey & Tsubasa aka: too hot guys!!!! ….taking you along for a History Chanel inspired ~* ride across the globe hitting many of those wonders~of~the~world type locations ^^. I particularly love when their heads are superimposed upon animated bodies giving them that sort of bobble-head look which here comes complete with giddy facial expressions all reacting to this highly imaginative and worldly adventure made in animated bliss ^^. The song plays in deep contrast to its counterpart A-side as “Jikan ryokou second!” is a mid tempo contemporary pop tune with an underlying jazzy feel …pretty much a lighthearted and fun ….good feel song. While watching the mv be sure to be on the constant lookout for worldly known landmarks, historical sites, a bit of mythology as well as natural phenomenon =). And YES that would explain the boys being dressed in a bit of touristy wardrobes on this editions cover artwork.

no meiro~” (mv)~
Okay being that we’ve already covered the theme of the title track A-side in the opening here as it relates to the whole essence of a “railroad geek” life as captured in comedic form, let’s get right to this song’s flavor as “Yamanotesen Uchimawari~ai no meiro~” has got that whole hot salsa flair to it ….all wrapped and neatly choreographed into a soft flour tortilla ~♡ (*´∀`*) ♪~♪。Everything here is really representative of T&T’s now deeply embedded trademark style which fully bloomed during their “Venus” single’s campaign! And you know what makes an already hot guy take it to the next level of smoldering cuteness?? It’s totally him not taking himself too seriously (*´∀`) ー>♥♥♥!And the reason why I mention this is that Tackey & Tsubasa have totally branded themselves in this way ever since they burst onto the scene all those years ago ^^. And a fun and endearing quality of this can be seen directly in their style of choreography for just this style of song here which YES goes way back to their “Venus” single and still further back in songs such as the very notable and memorable “Ho! Summer”…as it entertains an abundance of deliberately expressed movements all drenched with an aura of simplicity.
Oh and did I happen to mention just how hot the guys are looking here!!!! Especially my dear~♥ Tackey whom is about as yummy as a guy can be!~!, you know as allowed by the universe of course ^^!~!

タッキー&翼~♡!!!~!^^
Two very energetic up-beat songs. I enjoyed them both, especially the A-side. Both music videos are fun. I love the train in ‘Yamanotesen Uchi mawari~ai no meiro’. The dance moves are fun too. The title got me into research mode and I am now familiar with the Yamanote line! I’ve also learnt a new word thanks to your post: 迷路, which I understand is a maze/labyrinth. So Tackey and Tsubasa are going round in love’s maze on the Yamanote line?
Tackey gets even better looking with age, doesn’t he. I must check out Strawberry on the Shortcake to remind myself of that. I really enjoyed watching that.

T&T really has embraced this style of choreography with so many of their songs and you really get a sense of their humor and true humility within it all ….just LOVE them about that!~! ^^ Oh yes both songs are awesomely~catchy~♥!!!! And with their pvs it really grabs you that much more as these are not your typical music videos to put that lightly =). U~n! fun how songs can readily teach so much with a sense of intrigue in understanding them, I didn’t expect to see a ‘sequel’ song so it all came as a total surprise to me that they’d revisit and pay homage as they did four years ago. Ohhhh Tackey’s one fine guy whom I’d gladly have a child with right away LOL I hope that didn’t sound too slutty =P!! U~n “SOS” ….one of the great ones when it comes to dramas!~! And now I have ABBA stuck in my head ^^.

Haha that totally doesn’t count as you can’t use ‘dude’ on me, it’s gotta be a guy =P! ….perhaps if you say ‘dudette?’ is there such an expression? You know like how Smurfette came from Smurfs =). A surfer girl may be like a total ‘dudette’ =), and I’m still eagerly awaiting to eavesdrop the expression ‘dude’ in live conversation somewhere but sadly it’s not happened just yet =(.

It was worth a try! There ought to be a group called The Dudettes. Surfing-based songs, of course. In the meantime….

Classic Davie Bowie!! I admit I cheated and got his greatest hits though =P….he has so many incredible songs and LOL I never really realized his lyrics here with the song you’ve embedded!!
And speaking of surf based songs and this being a Tackey & Tsubasa post there’s of course the very song and video which got me into them to begin with!:

If you scroll down a bit past the concert opening you’ll find the music video for “Ho Summer”….still one of their very BEST I think!!!! And just below that video is their tutorial on the dance choreography which is really cutely done!
