This would be a general news thread on Takeshi as I find them. I'll repost some of the more important articles I have done previously when time permits.

This is a restaurant where Takeshi frequents according to this news. The restaurant has village styled decor and specializes in ancient dishes. One customer said that he really enjoys the bitter melon with tiger paws.....ahem?????  I hope I didn't read it wrong but it said 苦瓜虎掌. I certainly hope Takeshi doesn't eat endangered animals. *faint* Well, if fangirls go to this Taiwan restaurant to try catching Takeshi, or Vivian Hsu, I hope they won't order tigers. There's only 5000-7000 left and China is trying to persuade India to lift the ban of tiger hunting. See my article Don't eat the tigers.

I’ve translated only a few things that are direct quotes and slightly different from before.

"Actually I am a person that does not like to talk much so many people all say that I am shy. Actually I don't know what to talk about. I am also a person who does not like crowded places and I like to be by myself. When I make movies, I could be very engrossed but as to promotions, I really don't have much feel for it." Takeshi also said that he likes to play video cames, watch movies and go travel. In his eyes, he doesn't see any difference of himself and others.

"What I really wish for now is to have more personal time. Others ask me how do I protect my personal life and not be disturbed by the press. I feel that I couldn't find any ways to protect it, I would just ignore it. Because man could not hide and live afterall. To escape from something, I had to change my own living style, that is a bit unhealthy." Takeshi seems to be the type of person who does not worry that he would be forgotten by others. Perhaps he has been hoping for that already as he has once said in Fallen Angels.

Q: How do you plan to live the life of an artist in the future?
A: I still want to give good performances in acting and that is why I haven't released any albums. As to what level/position I would be up to I don't know. At the moment I have many changes to meet up with good directors and so I should value these opportunities and be a good actor or else it would not be fair to them. In the future I would like to be a director to direct movies but that is only a small dream.
