Takizawa Hideaki (滝沢秀明) and Imai Tsubasa (今井翼) were famous as members of Johnny's Jr. long before their debut. They debuted on September 11, 2002 after a year long fight with the management. They were first supposed to debut as solo artists, but neither they nor the fans wanted it. So, after sending letters and appealing to the company, they were finally allowed to remain a duo. They were signed under Avex Trax and have released two albums and six singles for the label.

When they are not working as a unit, both Tackey and Tsubasa are working on solo projects. They have starred in many TV dramas and musicals and have even had solo concerts in the fall/winter of 2005. Even though their solo projects met with a good response from the fans, they went back to working as a unit, releasing their most successful single to date in January 2006.

In between promoting their new single and mentions of a new album and movie projects, Tackey is starring in his own musical Takizawa Enbujou and Tsubasa is playing alongside Doumoto Kouichi (堂本光一) in his musical SHOCK. The duo disbanded September 10, 2018.

Venus
タッキー＆翼 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kiss で目覚めて
Cha・Cha のリズムで
甘くモザイク midnight
わざと焦らして意外に無邪気で
遥か異国の moonlight
夢で見た景色と
幾つかの運命と
目まぐるしく変わり始めた

光と影の誘惑

熱く Venus 燃えて Venus
君の瞳が胸を焦がす
シルクロード愛は千里
ためらうなら忘れたい
熱く Venus 感じて Venus
嵐の様に風を見せて
君が答え知ってる
愛の輝き放て

紅い口唇が
デンジャラス飲み干して
剥き出したナイフ突き刺さる
恋愛の形式赤裸々な意識
遥か異国の rendez-vous
真珠のキラメキで
愛に引きづられて
琥珀色の吐息に消えた
砂漠さえも満たしたい

熱く Venus 燃えて Venus
星のデルタ夜空を染め
サザンクロス揺れる大地
指先で見つめたい
熱く Venus 感じて Venus
稲妻より光見せて
蜃気楼あやつる空に
愛の輝き放て

熱く Venus 燃えて Venus
君の瞳が胸を焦がす
シルクロード愛は千里
ためらうなら忘れたい
熱く Venus 燃えて Venus
星のデルタ夜空を染め
サザンクロス揺れる大地
指先で見つめたい
熱く Venus 感じて Venus
稲妻より光見せて

蜃気楼あやつる空に
愛の輝き放て
