There 2 live sessions i was aware of: Masa+Yuu’s live at 9pm, and Tatsuki’s live 10pm Japan Time.
Tatsuki Kawashima, aka the green kitten (i made it up)
This time, it’s blueberries he’s eating.
He ate bento from the konbini (convenience store).
Tora and Noah dropped by.
Tora: “Drone”
Then he disappears.
Fans: 笑笑笑
Fans want Tatsuki to have collab live sessions with other KSB boys.
Fans: Ranma-kun imitated you
Tatsuki: Rantatsu
Fans: OMG yes <3<3<3
Fans: your hands (or was it tongue?) will get purple
On his shirt is his favourite character
Fans: ARSJGJHKAJKJSK
He showed not just one of the plushie of this character, but 2(!)
At the end, fans asked if his tongue got purple. He showed his tongue to the screen and said “Not very”.
👅😛🍇
Masa+Yuu
The guest for the second joint live by these 2 is Yamagata (Yaruki Genki) Yuuki!!!
As expected of the 2 leaders, a whooping > 1.1k people came to watch them at the same time just like the first session.
Yuuki showed up in a mask so fans asked him to take it off, which he did.
Kuromi-chan hairpin
Masa showed the huge iPad with Yuuki’s face to fans so Yuuki didn’t see his face. Yuu and Masa asked what title they should give this “talk show” and Yuuki so very seriously talked passionately about what to pick. Masa keeps grinning behind Yuuki when the latter realised he’s been talking nonstop when no one else does and asked “Eh am I talking to myself?”
Ah! The pretty face is out!
Fans: Megane (glasses)
Meanwhile, Yuu said it has been hot lately. Most of the time i cannot make out what Yuuki is saying but when the boys talked about selfies he seemed pretty proud of it. He is then dubbed the “producer” or YamagataP.
Fans: Yuu-kun seems bad at taking selfies
Masa: LOLOLOL
Back to the topic of the show title.
Masa: Satonaka-Yuu?
Fans: Eh did y’all get married??
Yuu: ROFL (he rolled on the floor literally)
i also laughed out loud at the “married” part.
Long story short they settled with 「まさゆうの今なにしとん?」(Masa-Yuu no ima nani shiton?) which means basically “Masa-Yuu’s What are you doing now?”. But it is in a dialect so imma translate to “Masa-Yuu’s whatsup y’all?” because nobody is gonna find out and i am even writing a fan blog and reporting about their show title in English here so i can translate it to whatever the hell i want. Hah!
Producer: Iyoda Hidenori, Sugiyama Tsuyoshi, Kawashima Ryutaro, Sato Atsushi
Music: Dewa Yoshiaki, Habuka Yuri

夢と星 (Yume to Hoshi)/Written by KENGO
(Title meaning: Dreams and Stars)
Far, far away, in the corner of a street I don’t know, a wish resurfaces
Trying to let out one voice, just to hide the bleeding uncertainty again
The world in the city of Kyoto touched by a haunted finger
Right now, starts telling me its tale
With colours that never fade, the fragments of the mesmerising dream
Never have been let go of in my heart
Even if I were to stop moving forward, as long as I have you
I won’t be scared of anything
I wanna be your star
I wanna be your star
In this heart that has been sinking deep and drowning
My wish starts swimming up yet again
As I weakly grab onto the ray of light
hoping to reach a place where I can walk more easily
The promise I believed in, the feelings we vowed
Will be granted here and now
Our feelings that keep blooming and never wilt
Have never changed and never will
Even if I were to lose my way,
As long as I have you
I will not lose myself
I wanna be your star
I wanna be your star
Until the faint light from my dream shines a little further ahead
I will keep singing without fail
Time is a flowing river, there is no such thing as “forever”
There is always a meaning to people meeting and parting
If we will meet again at this place
Then I will wait as I am, to welcome you no matter how many times
With colours that never fade, the fragments of the dream that mesmerised me
Have never been forgotten in my heart
Even if I were to stop moving forward, as long as I have you
I won’t be scared of anything
Because I can be myself
I wanna be your star
I wanna be your star
咲螺 - サクラ (Sakura)/Written by Kondou Takafumi
Right now I can see the overlapping cherry petals
dancing across the sky
No matter how many thousands times,
if we ever crossed paths again
I will never let you go a second time
For eternity... with these cherry blossoms
Ours was a love like spring breeze together with your gentle tears
Our meeting was like fate
My heart yearns for you ever since
Why is it that even though we were always so close
But those clear eyes felt so distant, and lonely?
The hazy moon hides away your profile
If I had held you tight back then
Would our future have changed?
Right now I can see the overlapping cherry petals dancing across the sky
No matter how many thousands times
If we ever crossed paths again
I will never let you go a second time,
For eternity... with these cherry blossoms
Ours was a love like spring breeze together with your gentle tears
Will I get over these feelings one day?
I have always wanted to stay closer by your side
A world without you, a future without you
How am I supposed to go on
and face tomorrow from here?
The night takes away each moment
The sorrow only getting deeper
Could it be even if I had regrets at that moment... My thoughts would only have collected over time
Just like seasons go round and round again, the cherry petals draw up a circle
As the tempest dyes the May clouds in their folds
Will these blossoms bring back the days of the two of us who can no longer meet
Ours was a love like petals that caressed your faintly coloured cheeks
I won't forget you, always
I have loved you, Sakura
Right now I can see the overlapping cherry petals dancing across the sky
No matter how many thousands times
If we ever crossed paths again
Let's never separate a second time for eternity... Sakura
Ours was a love like spring breeze together with your gentle tears
虹を描いて (Niji wo egaite)/Written by 井手コウジ (Ide Kouji)
(Title meaning: Draw a rainbow)
Wow oh Draw your own rainbow
Wow oh With your colour
Wow oh Draw your own rainbow
Among endless choices and possibilities, why is it that
I am rushing to find a perfect spot for me to fit
If I don't have any interests in these colour palettes lining up before me
Then let's create our own matching shades!
Each of us one colour
Each with our own slope to climb (so far away)
Shall we? (to higher)
Even when our tears fall
Like a wind with no name, blow this world away!
No matter how many years it takes, draw a rainbow for only yourself
Wow oh Draw your own rainbow
Wow oh With your colour
Wow oh Draw your own rainbow
Draw your own rainbow
If you just look at the entangled reality at a slightly different angle
The world we look at upside down becomes a totally different scenery
Monochrome, pure white, black and grey, there are so many colours
Let's take in even more new values!
Each of us one colour
Each with our own aspiration
We struggle (so far away), yes we do (to higher)
Though our dream seems to have withered
The colour from the melody we have believed and played
It might be distorted, but let it echo away!
Unleash the sadness toward the rainbows
The abandoned incomplete dreams
Let's redraw curiosity onto these hands once more!
Each of us one colour
Each with a slope to climb (so far away)
Shall we? (to higher)
Even when our tears may fall
Like a wind with no name, blow this world away!
No matter how long it takes, let your heart go
And draw your own rainbow
Wow oh Draw your own rainbow
Wow oh With your colour
Wow oh Draw your own rainbow
Draw a rainbow

*切り捨て御免: the right of Samurai in the Edo period to kill commoners for perceived affronts
With the lyrics card in, the dance makes more sense now so i am hoping to make it easier for more people to enjoy KSB’s performance with English lyrics translations videos. This is Sakura (team Tsubaki version), and this cut is the longest dance performance version of this song ever made publicly available till now.
Pardon me as i attempted to sneak in members’ names as well in case one is not familiar with their faces yet.
Note: The gestures the boys make at the “No matter how many thousand times” part are the strokes to write the kanji for thousand (sen) 千. You can search more info on the stroke order.
Anyway for the lazy, the members present are as below:
1. Fukuzawa Yuu
This blond mushroom beauty is Tsubaki’s and KSB’s king leader.
2. Iizuka Hiromu
Self proclaimed “forever babyface” of KSB. And rightfully so, turning 30 this December.
3. NUY
The absolute ray of sunshine that turns into a valiant warrior when he wields the sword.
4. Takesako Yuki
Everyone loves this sweet bean bishounen. You just can’t not. He spins, and flips, and makes beautiful expressions.
5. Kawashima Tatsuki (stand in for Yamagata Yuuki)
Tatsuki’s actually in Wakaba (as you can see the colored markings on his costume are green, not red), not Tsubaki. He is standing in for Yamagata. But he is just equally badass so i am not complaining. Oh and he likes strawberries and curry.
KSB members update 5 May 2020 + KSB member spotlight: Kawashima Tatsuki
i planned to finish Tsubaki first but since today’s updates are mostly about Tatsuki, i might as well make it his spotlight.
Today, Tatsuki had a live session on Instagram at 10pm Japan Time. Hiromu seems to be having something on Tik Tok but i don’t have the app so i missed it :( Rayshy shared a new melody on Tik Tok, he will probably share a full version on his Youtube channel soon. Meanwhile, Yamagata Yuuki has been hinting at a live session these few days.
Tatsuki’s live was started late due to some technical difficulty, but he made it happen. He was seriously so cute, he’s more quiet, shy and reserved than other members (maybe comparable to Tora or even NUY, who is surprisingly very soft during live).
Born 7 October 1998, this kitten debuted with KSB at the beautiful age of 21 and is a member of Team Wakaba. He is affiliated with Bound Promotion.
Sorry Sir you can’t fool me even with that pose. You’re still an adorable kitten.
With KSB
Tatsuki is very good at acrobats.
Rolling around with Mom Leader Yasue
His expressions and posing on stage are very charming and it captures your gaze immediately
Getting ready with some taichi
His voice is youthfully raw and passionate. Who broke your heart kitty?
He stood in for Yamagata Yuuki for Tsubaki’s stage performance video, and totally rocked it.
Give it up honey, lasers are cats’ plaything
Personality
Tatsuki in real life (shy and quiet) is very different from the Tatsuki on stage - firm, flexible, sometimes overwhelmingly confident.
Don’t underestimate that pretty face
“Bro, I know that feeling” shoulder tap with Kouki
Trivia
Tatsuki did ballet, and he said he has a feeling Take-chan also did some ballet before, to which fans commented Take-chan’s 540 degree kicks are abunai (dangerous).
During the Insta live session on 5 May, Tatsuki was reading and answering all fans’ comments until the last 5 minutes, from time to time pausing to pop a strawberry into his mouth. i thought i could hear him say “nom nom” nah just kidding
He likes taking photos, and fans shared they really like his photos of the sky and also a cat. During today’s live, he showed a photo of a cloudy sky that was gorgeous.
Fans were also referring to some etude (i am not sure which one they are referring to) of his and Take-chan’s. Some say it feels like a lovers’ etude, to which he murmured to himself “Who is the guy, I wonder”, which if i had a cup of coffee with me would make me cough.
Some also asked how Kazu (Wakaba’s leader) is like in the team, to which he answered “Like a Mom” (seriously Tacchan you’re gonna kill me at this rate). One then said “If Kazu-kun was KSB’s Mom, then I wonder if Masa-kun is the Dad” (hmm then Yuu would be big bro, i suppose? Although Hiromu is the oldest)
Fans said Tatsuki looks like a prince
Asked if it was stressful walking beside the King of Tsubaki - Fukuzawa Yuu, he said there was some pressure but it turned out alright.
Isn’t he graceful? Just like a young leaf
Can’t get enough of this calico? No worries, he is on both Twitter and Instagram
Catch you in his live next time~
This is your admin signing off, bringing to you latest updates on the boys~
