w-inds

w-inds are Ryohei (千葉涼平), Keita (橘　慶太) and Ryuichi (緒方龍一)

I started to like w-inds’ songs since last July or August. They had released their Best Tracks album at that time. So I could watch their MTVs on Chinese MTV almost everyday. I like their fast tracks and was amazed by the speed that they are growing. The one who has the biggest change is 橘　慶太 (Tachibana Keita). He has grown tremendously from a young kid to a 美少年., standing 1.8m tall. 涼平 and 龍一 joked that don’t know what kind of milk that 慶太 drinks to make him grow so tall. And of course, I like 慶太 as he is the typical type of guy I like.

I have been observing them and noticed that their relationships are close, just like good friends. This kind of relationship is not found in many Japanese boy bands, especially in Johnny’s boy band. Perhaps the only Johnny’s boy bands who have close relationship is Kink Kids.

w-inds is starting their summer concert tour in Japan on this Saturday.

I won’t have the chance to watch their coming concert tour in Japan. Maybe in future. However, I am planning to watch their concerts in Taipei this September.

w-inds.2005台湾コンサート決定!!
w-inds. Live tour 2005"ageha"公演日程:9月24(土)､25(日)会場:中華民国 台湾省 新荘市 ｢新荘体育館｣コンサート会場開場:16時30分/開演:18時00分
●チケット発売日2005年7月17日(日)12時より●発売場所年代チケットセンター(予定)※日本でのチケット販売及び､ツアーの予定はございません｡

They had 2 concerts in Taipei last year and received praises from the Taiwan media on their performances.

慶太 said in an interview with Chinese MTV Channel that he hoped Taiwan fans can memorise the lyrics of [ageha] and sing it together with him at the concert. [ageha] is a very meaningful song that talks about friendship. I like this song very much. It’s a different style from their past songs.

I hope I can get the concert tickets (very hard to get coz there are a lot of w-inds fans in Taiwan) and sing [ageha] with 慶太 at the concerts!

慶太, 涼平, 龍一 ~ 夏のコンサートは　かんばってね.
