tetsu & Kaori Mochida :

First of all, we have to trace it back to an issue of the fanclub magazine Ciel......
There's a quiz corner, where a member asks a question...
this is what tetsu asked :

" I had a dream recently, I was in a convenient store, and I saw this limited version doll of "XXXX". And I was like wow..sure..and I bought it. So, who do you think this "XXXX" is? HINT: 1.) this figure does not actually exists 2.) she's a vocal of a group "

and.. the next issue of the clubzine, the answer was reveiled, and it is KAORI MOCHIDA of EVERY LITTLE THING.
(if you do not know who she is... i can briefly explain here, but you can search for information on your own too. She's a very popular female vocalist in Japan (in the group Every Little Thing). She's recognized for her fashion and pop music by a lot of girls, and is certainly one of the trend setters of all times. )

........THEN.........

on some radio show... the host talked about Kaori Mochida. And tetsu was like..Oh!!! Damn I envy you, I want to meet her too / be friends with her too.... (ok i can't remember the exact wording..but..yeah..somein like that)

.....................................THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

he again.....for many times......(just like hyde mentioning megxxx for so many times) he mentions that the type of girl he likes is....like....for example.............KAORI MOCHIDA...............

so, he's obviously got a big crush on her...and i guess it wasn't hard to actaully get to know each other as they are in the same biz... so not long after, they were spotted by the FRIDAY magazine that they were dating in spring of 1998.

Recently many have been talking about Kaori and tetsu ...so i dug up some old bookmarks..about their relationship and stuff.  Basicaly it's from last last year's "Friday" magazine around July, and they took a picture of Kaori and Tetchan in Tokyo dining together..and it's said that they started going out Spring 98...Below are links to the articles you can read it yourself ^^ (they're basically all based on the Friday article anyways)

So you might think, what does a picture mean, they like to exaggerate things in the press anyway.

hyde so so self-compiled T X K evidence files!!!

EVIDENCE # 1 : TIFFANY & CO. BRACELET

so we always ask..did they really go out? or are they still going out?? we always want to have that little " chance" of thinking that " maybe its just a rumor..maybe its not true" there ..^^;; BUT...my friend xcripter found out something!! wonder if u guys noticed....u see, tetsu always wears his bracelet right? never took it off since when... and we were thinking if its got anything to do with kaori!? and hey, we finally noticed!! yes it DOES have something to do with her! because, Kaori has the SAME bracelet! ok this is definately NOT a coincidence and..kaori even wore it in her concert and single cover!!!! although she doesn't wear it like ALL the time..but frequently enough..(well she's a girl..girls have lots of accessories and its kinda weird for an idol like her to always wear a same bracelet, else it would be just way too noticable and obvious right? but hehe nevertheless we still found out..oops sorry! ^^:)


Anyway, so..if one day tetsu stopped wearing his bracelet then it means..he broke up with Kaori right? so as far as we know NOW, he is STILL wearing it ..-_-" so sweet ne...~~ and btw, the bracelet is as my friend kenchan told me, from tiffany's, and my friend saw it in NYC for around $400 USD, and me and xcripter saw it in hong kong for $3700 HKD...takai na...~~



Kaori with the bracelet in concert


cover for "Necessary" , Kaori still wearing the bracelet ^^


tetsu wearing the bracelet...as always...


close up of the bracelet...

EVIDENCE # 2 : tetsu & kaori..the habit of sharing clothes ^^?

(sorry these are screen caps so..they are not so good quality ^^;)

well, as u see, the 1st picture of tetsu is a cap from Light My Fire concet backstage..he's wearing the Tshirt with that kanji...well that was back then in 1998~


recently I saw ELT's live vcd..spirit tour 2000 kana,

and to my surprise, at the backstages, i saw kaori with the same T-shirt!

and also the candystripper T-shirt tetsu had wore in CUTIE earlier!! ..hmm do they have a habit of sharing clothes?? anyway but its kinda cute eh? ( better not let me see megumi and haido share clothes..-_-")

well do we have more to say about them BREAKING UP? seems like their relationship is pretty steady to me....
and under what circumstances do people share clothes.............. imagine urself..............................

this t-shirt is a little small for you ne..tetsu

kaori chan on guitar~ did tetsu teach u?

kaori on drums~~~ sugoi ne..but eh..the t-shirt..

wearing the same candy stripper shirt....

So....................I hope........
This sort of resolves our doubts about tetsu and kaori..because we keep thinking that they broke up... but seems like they did not and their relationship is quite good. Dunno if this is good news or bad news for you guys ( at least I am quite OK with it ) though..ELT's having their tour now, and Kaori was talking about what she's been doing, she said she went to onsen ( hot springs) twice. Then their guitarist Ichiro san asked her with an evil look like " Oh who did you go with!?" and Kaori started blushing right away and said " nono!! don't misunderstand!" ..of coz..she went with tetsu!!! Kyaa..ONSEN!!! wonder if it's the guy girl seperate one or...NOT seperate one?? hohoho Of course, if this is hyde and megumi i would've freaked a long time ago, i hope anti-kaori tetsu fans are ok...

Recent News

recently i read an article about GARBAGE Live in Zepp Tokyo during Feb 2002. And funny thing i found is ^^ the article included a little note about artists that went to the LIVE, and in the list is KAORI & TETSU! <article>This is very recent..2 months ago only..so they're still dating :D and as far as I know they're still wearing that Tiffany & Co. bracelet ^_^ One more thing is.... the countdown LIVE that ELT had, Kaori was playing guitar for the song "Sweetaholic girl". The guitar she uses is a Gretsch Duo Jet 6128.
Tetchan uses a very similar one in his solo work, although not exactly the same model ( and i dunno which model..coz for some reasons i can't find in the gretch catalogues..maybe he had it custom modified.) The guitar is also very similar to hyde's Gretsch 62'Duo Jet 6128T-62. Wonder if tetchan recommended the guitar to Kaori ^^? Anyways that's all..just a little update on the 2. and a picture of tetchan..if u miss him..hehe.
