So, while hanging around in the lobby between the matinee and soiree shows in Nagoya, one of [livejournal.com profile] faded_lace's Japanese friends who kind of latched onto us at the show asked me if I knew what ギャランドゥー meant, in relation to Tuti (wtf???). I naturally hadn't (and if any of you have, you really should tell me WHY you know what it means XD;;; because I can't imagine where you'd learn it...). She collapsed into a fit of laughter with another friend of hers and kept going, "See! I knew she wouldn't! No one knows what it means!!"

She then excitedly motioned me closer to tell me what it meant so I could relate it to the others in our party, and whispered in my ear something that took me a minute to understand...at which point I came to the dreaded realization that there was a very appropriate translation of that word in English. ギャランドゥー means:



...happy trail XD;;;; aka the line of hair leading down from the belly button into the pubic area XD;;;;;; oh GOD. Of course I then stupidly taught her this English word, which she just seemed to fall in love with, and spent the rest of the time between shows randomly inserting it into conversations and telling us how we should ask Tuti in English to please show us his happy trail. >____> Good lord XD;;;

In other news, senshuuraku was sooo good ;__; Naoto was almost crying, Taito fell off the stage and into the crowd, Masashi managed to pull off his juggling act without messing up, and [livejournal.com profile] faded_lace, on learning that baka is written 馬鹿, pointed out to me how it is cleverly hidden in a room set on the stage via a relief of some horses running sitting on the wall next to a mounted deer's head XDDDD

This week is NEPPUU! Aka The Dog and Monkey Show :D I see that T2 et al. had an awesome time in Fukuoka (with Shouta gracing us with a lovely Golden Trio pic XD) and no of course I'm not bitter I wasn't there to see it :PPPP WHY WOULD I BE?? >_> And tomorrow night is the LIVE WEBCHAT WITH TUTI! (if you missed his announcement, this was the plan he mentioned for being able to interact more with people far away) I'm really wondering wtf it'll be about? XD;;; [livejournal.com profile] faded_lace and [livejournal.com profile] yomimashou are coming over to watch it with me, and I'm going to try my level best to record it so--cross your fingers! Hopefully no one will be embarrassing and ask him to show his ギャランドゥー :PPPPP (because really, who needs to see that?? :/)

I really, really hope she does not feel the need to mention that. XD; Even if she really wants to see his komatta kao or whatever it was that she said.

Also, thanks for the visual aid, I REALLY needed to see that again :P

Oh Tuti ;) The more you know... the more you think, "What else DON'T I know?". Or, what do I hope to know that is true? ha-ha! Good luck with the recording/saving the webchat! Definitely something I would love to see. Tuti put on the spot, by himself. Could be interesting.

how we should ask Tuti in English to please show us his happy trail.

I second this.

Oh Lawd.

I didn't even have to read any of the post to realize what "more I would be knowing" just by seeing that screencap again. xDDD

But after reading it, major facepalm was endorsed. I think I still have the prints...

And was the webchat thing mentioned on his blog or something? Or maybe on something I never check and therefore am very ignorant about it. -_-;

Thank you much. -w-

Okay, now I'm almost afraid to admit I did knew what ギャランドゥー was 8;D And where I learnt it from WELL THAT'S NOT REALLY RELEVANT *coughhack*

I wonder what Tuti's webchat thing will be all about..

I still don't get it where this expression comes from, the language, I mean. Court, maybe you know. ギャランドゥー

(I went as far as "gare en deux", but it makes no sense either logically or gramatically lol lol)

According to the Wiki page (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%AE%E3%83%A3%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%82%A5), it was originally used in the song by the same title, which was derived from scat/vocal improvisation and doesn't really have any meaning :)

I don't quite understand why it came to be used in this manner (the wiki link there says that a chick on All Night Nippon was to embarrassed to say "stomach hair" and said ギャランドゥー instead), but that's all I have!

thank you for shedding some light on it ^.~

P. S: waiting for some 'special' post from Tacchan. I had a veeerrry naughty dream about him, so maybe he's going to treat us to something 'delicious'. Oh, I'd love to see him topless ;)

Jeez, what a random wish O_o
