Takumi Instagram update. New photo with GACKT, translation below:

Yesterday, I attended the Red Bull Air Race with big bro G at Chiba Prefecture's Makuhari Seaside Park.

This was my first air jet race experience, but the setup of each lounge for watching the races were wonderful too.

Following that was the FRESH public recording event at Roppongi. It was a talk liveshow but it passed in the blink of an eye.

I'm looking forward to the next one. It was a great day with many new meetings.

昨日は、千葉の幕張海浜公園にて行われたRed Bull Air RaceへG兄と共に。 エアージェットレース初体験でしたが、レースを見る各ラウンジなどの作り込みも素晴らしかったです。 その後は、六本木にてFRESH!の公開収録イベント。トークライブでしたが、あっという間の時間。 次回のトークライブも楽しみです。出逢いも沢山あり良き1日。 #皆さん凄い人たちです #redbull #airrace @gackt @ak69_official @dantecarverofficial

＜Comments from the contestants of June’s tournament＞
■Motorsports world representative・Kobayashi Kamui
◇What’s your poker experience?
I’ve been playing for around 10 years. When I’m overseas, there are lots of places where you can play poker, so I often play it with fellow friends and drivers.

◇What are your thoughts regarding your participation in this program?
There are original rules, but this is so new, there will also be a certain amount of difficulty for someone who has been playing poker all this while. No matter who loses, everyone has to show their entire hand to each other, and this makes it difficult for one to create their own story, which is an original part of the game so it makes it exceptionally enjoyable.

◇What do you think about the one-on-one match?
I think it’s good! It’s easy for viewers to understand, if a player makes a bad play it can be read after all, there’s a variety of randomness, and if you don’t build your hand it won’t do. You absolutely have to read your opponent too. Don’t you think that it is easy for the audience to understand?

◇What is the highlight?
Of course, since this is a card game, I think that luck plays a part but poker doesn’t only require luck, it costs of other various elements as well. I think that this is the reason why everyone gets drawn in by poker when they play it. I would like people to see that part of poker, that it isn’t just about luck, it’s about how you make a comeback using those other elements.

■Visual-Kei world representative・Shinya
◇What is the highlight of this program?
Because it’s easy to understand and enjoyable for beginner players of poker, I think that if someone with even the slightest interest in poker watches it, they will find themselves enjoying it a lot.

■Fistiana representative・Kameda Daiki
◇What do you think about playing poker?
It was fun. But y‘know, when you have to go for it, you have to go for it. I think that those times were good today, right?

◇Is it different from boxing tactics?
Yes, it’s a little different. Since my opponent was Asuka Kirara-san, I couldn’t look at her face. If I did look at her, I’d end up laughing, and when I looked at her and laughed at that time, I lost all my chips from the penalty.

◇Will you play poker in the end?
I want to. I think I will, since you can play it in a large group too.

■Sexy actresses world representative・Asuka Kirara
◇What are your thoughts after playing poker?
During my match against Kameda-san, when I found the flow, I understood the fun of poker, and everyone said to me that it was a very long filming session, but I didn’t feel it at all, instead I wanted to do it more if possible. I got the feeling that I tripped up Kameda-san well (lol), it was really really fun. It feels like I’m getting hooked.

◇Those who are unfamiliar with poker probably watch it as well, so what is the highlight?
Through poker, my “femininity” (lol), and I’m competitive and dislike losing but I’m timid, so you’ll see my nervousness when I’m playing a bluff (lol), I also think that my facial expressions show very easily, so I kept staring only at Kameda-san’s eyes to try my best to show no expression but Kameda-san, completely, couldn’t look at, my face. But, I tried by best, with the poker face.
