This journal is:

All translations and posts/spams/rants about JE as well as icons and screencaps are public posts and therefore it is unnecessary to friend me for these purposes.

Posts about me and my life are friends only, so if you want to know me, or if you do know me, don't hesitate to friend. Just comment so that I know to add you though. Because for sure, if you don't comment, I won't add you.

It does help if we have something in common~ I thought I'd list some of my likes, and stuff like that, but I wouldn't recommend reading it unless you've got loads of time. ( My likes )

Yeah, so I felt like procrastinating yesterday, and this was the outcome. So...I ended up rewatching the NEWS touch DVD, with all the members bringing you out on dates that they've made up for you. In general, it's overall like really cute.

( NEWS touch DVD - Dates )

But I guess that's it from that end. Ryo-chan made me hungry with his udon. haha. Anywho, so a little bit of a pic spam is generally what I'll do when I feel stressed from here on out, I think.

I haven't done a translation in a while...so, assuming that no one's translated yet, I decided to do it.


Midwinter Special Photo Book
Snow White season. 6 people talk of thoughts about love,
snow, and you.
The first snow.
The love you had.
That miracle.

The feeling when love sprouts, like precious
love, and pain.
Whenever you start to like someone,
what kind of feeling starts?
Together when the first snow arrives.
A miracle love story.

( The rest )

EDIT 2: Thanks so much to watchful21 for providing me with the HQ scans~ Ah, and if you're looking for the scans you can get there here I'll continue translating, but I'm a little tied up with school right now, so hopefully I'll get all the pages I wanted to do by the end of the month...or the first week of Feb~

EDIT 3: The last page seemed to be in process of being translated by someone else, but if they don't finish, I'll still probably translate it to completion soon.

I'm not sure exactly how many people do listen in on Koyama's radio show, but I wanted to try writing to his email and send something in once, so I thought I'd translate the site they have for his radio show, so others can do the same~ I would've done the same for Massu's radio show, but there's nothing on the site for his, except for the email.

Link over: The Main site

( The translation )

Yes, my current new obsession, Uchi Hiroki's Yume no Naka de... so I translated it...since I couldn't find anyone else's translation of it..and pretty much, I'm trying to find something to do in the midst of trying to finish burning something...and texting my friend in Toronto..

So, if you haven't listened to it, I recommend it~

and that shall be it...as far as spamming this month...I think. XD

So, yes, it's November 1st, and I'm posting these all ahead of time. So, technically, this post is for the 2nd. ^^"

I downloaded the DVD clips that came along with the Musekinin Hero single that was released recently. What can I say about them? Not much, but the song is cute. haha.
関ジャニ∞ - Fuka-Fuka Love the Earth

Another song from one of the DVD clips...I mentioned this ong before, but I thought I'd post up the mp3 of it.
Nishikido Ryo & Tadayoshi Okura - TORN

Well, since the point of this 3-day NEWS/JE spamming are for Ryo-chan and Tesshi's birthdays..well, it's only natural to have some birthday songs..
BoA - Happy Birthday

NEWS - Happy Birthday

NEWS - Fly Again

In light of it being Ryo-chan's new drama's (Ryusei no Kizuna) opening theme song...
Arashi - Beautiful Days

This is just overall a really pretty song...I don't know how to explain it. the Lyrics
Shimizu Shota - HOME

Well, I promised Linh I'd do that NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month)...and so here I am posting. haha. I do wonder what I'll be posting all month though, in the midst of all my business, but I'll try my best. ^^"

Firstly, since it's the start of November, and I don't have an exam till Tuesday, I'm gonna spam my LJ. XD Most people who read my blog normally will probably say, WTF. But...this posts is mainly for the JE fans...yes, so it's a NEWS vid/pic/music spam. Well..today's is a pic spam. XD
These spams will only last till the 3rd.

お誕生日おめでとう亮ーちゃんとテッシ！

And this is just something I find interesting: Blood Type Personality Meanings

...what to say about it...it's just a song that's been on my mind a lot lately. They're an undebuted group from Johnny's Entertainment, therefore still Juniors. But, they've got pretty voices, at least the main two - Fujigaya and Kitayama. And, I need to smile more, ne? ^^" So, I felt like translating and doing all that stuff...

OMG! Yes, another rant, at 8:30 in the morning. (＞∀＜) I just found out today, that NEWS is coming out with a new album. And, it's coming out right around my birthday. er...Happy Birthday to me? ＼(⌒▽⌒)／ Anywho...like always I'm debating which one to buy, the LE or the RE. *sigh* And with that, it means...if I buy one, I'll need to buy something else just to get my free shipping (since it's use $39+ and get free shipping). The cd itself should be around $28. 0(>_<)0 I'm going broke again, ne? Maybe, I'll get their Happy Birthday single then. （＾∀＾）

I would've said, let's buy Never Ending Wonderful Story DVD...・゜・(つД｀)・゜・ But it's mad expensive. And I still haven't found a version that'd be able to play in my own dvd player. Though I wish someone would sell one of those. haha.

So, as per usual, the LE has the 32-page booklet! (∩゜∀｀∩)ｷｬ━━ｯ!! and the RE has 16-pages. But, the RE has one of my favorite songs from them, Towairo no Koi which is a song from way back when...∩(´∀｀)∩ And of course, SNOW EXPRESS is finally on a CD! But...ε=(￣｡￣;)ﾌｩ...perhaps, I'll actually make a decision closer to the date, when I can see the album covers. haha. Ah~ And I just realized, the album release is just a bit before their winter tour. I want to go!

The Tracklisting:
M1：weeeek
M2：STARDUST
M3：SUMMER TIME
M4：SNOW EXPRESS
M5：Forever
M6：Sexy Lady
M7：KESENAI
M8：ordinary
M9：Minna ga iru sekai wo hitotsu ni ai wo motto GIVE & TAKE shimasho
M10：MURARISUTO
M11：Taiyou no Namida
M12：Smile Maker
M13：Happy Birthday
M14：FLY AGAIN
M15：Towairo no Koi ＜Bonus Track＞

I find it somewhat weird, that this album's called color, since only a few months ago, I was thinking only about the word color and writing it in a poem took forever. haha, OK, that was random.

I just felt like making a short little update about what Fall is like for me. Fall, which is really the start of new dramas in Japan..yesh, we're back to me watching new dramas, since Code Blue was over at the beginning of September. >.<"

Innocent Love (11 eps?)

starts Oct 20 and has Horikita Maki. ^^"

Ryusei no Kizuna (6 eps?)

starts Oct 17 and has Ninomiya Kazunari, Nishikido Ryo, Toda Erika, and Kaname Jun. >.<" So, I'm looking the most forward to this one, it seems. Though only 6 eps...will be saddening if it were true.

Bloody Monday (6 eps?)

starts Oct 11 and has Miura Haruma. I honestly only started liking him after watching Koizora, because he was really good in it. Apparently he was in Gokusen 3 too, but I wasn't very impressed..or the storyline bored me because it was the same as the other 2 seasons of it, so..*shrugz*

Scrap Teacher
starts Oct 11 and has 4 members of Hey!Say!JUMP in it. It might be cute. XD

Qi Lin Guan Zhi Lian (Qilin House of Love)
I want to see it, but I'm not sure if it's actually going to be coming out or not any time soon. Wiki says 2008, and 2008's nearing an end. >.<" But in the end, it's a Taiwanese drama with a Japanese actor from Hana Yori Dango in it. See why I'm intrigued?

I want to watch Atsu-hime and Shanghai Typhoon to...but I can't seem to find them still. >.<"

Right now I'm can't stop re-watching the "Mimic Paradise" part for TFP2 [Tokyo Friend Park 2] for the Ryusei no Kizuna Special. >.<" Pretty much, 5 cast members from Ryusei no Kizuna are playing on TFP2, and for this game, they have to mimic the people/animals on the screen, and another member has to guess from the other member's mimicking. But, it's all full of crack. haha.

( Mimic Paradise )

I'm gonna say this right, this post/update is a total pic-spam and captions/rant. XD

With the second live performance of Happy Birthday, NEWS makes their appearance on Hey!Hey!Hey! on September 29, 2008!

And, yup, that shall be the end of my nice little pic-spam. I tried to get some nice screen caps, the best I can do anyways. ^^"

NEWS
Sentimental talk about
a new song, secrets,
and the latest questions

Memories about the color of rain.*
May 8, the new song by NEWS, "SUMMER TIME" is released. Summer...before that we hear about what they have to say concerning the rainy season.

Of course we also hear about "SUMMER TIME", and what they have to say about summer.

NOTE: *Color, I believe they mean it in terms of different situations...

I'm actually waiting patiently for someone to upload the 5th episode of Code Blue, which aired in Japan last night. XD And to keep myself occupied, I went to go watch TV, only to find there was nothing on! I watched a weird cartoon version of Heidi, and a movie from 2006 called Deck the Halls. But seriously, there's only so much I can take.

My dad bought a wireless printer at Costco the other day, which seems really good. I can't wait to use it. I need to...well, really really want to make iron-ons, to put onto a bag I have. It's more of a...'so I have it' sort a thing, rather than a 'I'm gonna use it!' thing. XD
Anywho, what it looks like (Well, the reversal's of them at least...):
( the pics )

Today was interesting...I woke up around 9:30, folded laundry, drew a bath, made breakfast all at the same time. And by the time it was 11, I still hadn't taken my bath. So I quickly did that, and my water was still hot. XD YAY! Mmm...what else...I did more but somehow, I just can't remember.

I found out that NEWS made a new LAWSON'S CM. And so, I think I watched it, perhaps 5 or 6 times in a row, till I decided to cap it. It's not my fault, Ryo's expressions are always priceless.
( the crack caps )

I guess that's it for now...I just felt like pic-spamming. XD Maybe I'll pic-spam more with Code Blue screencaps or something...

Potato May 2008

This time the theme is "Take off".
To escape the need to wear coats, they become new selves. This spring they tell of there being the start of a change of attitude. Already April, a new life begins among these people, saying encouraging messages.

I've finished all of NEWS except for Shige, and the two ads for Last Friends and Hokaben. I'll try to get those done soon. Enjoy! ^^"

EDIT: Yup, all done now. Hope you guys enjoy them. And if there are any corrections, don't hesitate to tell me. I myself am only doing this as a hobby and so I'm sure there are plenty of mistakes.

Next up...I might do some KAT-TUN scans...but I'm not sure if I will or not, just because I don't know if I'll have any more will power to translate some more once I get back from Vancouver. XD Anywho, we'll see. Ja ne!

EDIT (April 15th): Seems I got a little delayed. I'll try my best to finish. And, now I've only got Massu's left. If I find I've got nothing to do for the rest of the week, and the Potato scans for May 2008 still haven't been translated by anybody, I might do those too.

EDIT (April 16th): Complete! We'll see if I still do the potato scans. Cuz, if I start them, I won't be done for a while most likely because I'm going to be gone next week.

Because I'm a teensy bit bored, and I feel like taking time off from my studying, just a little...well, actually, I'm in the midst of studying for philosophy. ○(≧∀≦)○ But, whatever.

I came across one of the wackiest CMs I've ever seen: Lawson
Well, firstly, I only came across it because NEWS is in it. (∩゜∀｀∩)ｷｬ━━ｯ!! But, we already knew that. haha. And, I had to make a special post, because tomorrow's a special day. 0409. It's considered a bad luck number or something. 4 is よん　or し, 9 is きゅ　or　く. し = death, the kanji for く is used for pain and other pain related happenings. Therefore, the Japnaese consider those numbers bad luck. But, in Yamapi's case, し is used in しあわせ, which is happiness. The よ　in the よん　is used in よろこび, which is joy. くる　means to come or coming, and therefore he believes that it means happiness is coming. So, yes, why am I talking so much about what 0409 stands for? It's obvious...maybe a little? April 9th is Yamapi's birthday. Which, is tomorrow in Japan. Therefore, I decided to make a small post...Maybe tomorrow...I'll post more stuff, who knows.

( the crack caps )

The CM is total crack. First is Yamapi that comes out with his face painted trying to catch some bird, then Shige and Kei-chan trying to catch fish. Massu trying to pick up a snake..and what colors are these animals? (＞∀＜) Massu after realizing it's a snake quickly, and gently puts it back down and says a quite "genki ne". （＾∀＾） Afterwards, we see a somewhat stuck Tesshi in a coconut tree, and everyone going to Lawson. And, when they come back with kaarage to the tree, Tesshi's still stuck there! So much crack in 30 seconds. Oh yeah, and I'm totally sorry about the horrible caps. I blame the video clip for being bad quality in the first place.

( Random Yamapi images )

These are just random things I felt like posting. I'm sure...if I posted more, people would hit me. ☆⌒(＞。≪)イタイ I'd sing happy birthday, but, that'd be a teensy-bit embarrassing. So, till later...

I haven't gotten a chance to translate the rest of them. I'm not sure whether I will or not. Translating stuff is just getting my mind off of something else...so, we'll see if I end up doing them or not. I'm not really sure why I did Shige first either...usually I start everything off with Yamapi. XD

EDIT: Yup, pretty much done. ^^" Just Kei-chan left.

RE-EDIT: Hai! DEKITA! Enjoy!

I went a little image-happy again...At least I'm only talking about the trailer, and not the actual movie, ne? It comes out tomorrow ne...those lucky people in Japan that get to watch it. And...I have to wait til the raw comes out....or perhaps even an illegal copy. Perhaps, I'll be a good girl, and wait till it's officially out, and then go to Calgary to buy it. （〇＞＿＜） That's...technically, just as bad, but, at least, I'm not ilegally watching, just illegally buying, since it's a bootleg.



So, yup, Yamapi in Kurosagi dorama turned movie coming out March 8, 2008. It had bad ratings from critics already. Most of the time if doramas are turned into movies, they aren't all that good, supposedly. But....who can blame Yamapi...or Maki-chan. After all, there's a lot of veteran actors in there too. If anyone's to be blamed for the possibility of it being a bad movie, then shouldn't the director/story writer be blamed? (∩゜∀｀∩)ｷｬ━━ｯ!! Yamapi! Too be honest, I only wrote this post because I'm psyched to get my package in the mail tomorrow. And then my Taiyou no Namida LE single! ＼(▽￣＼(￣▽￣)／￣▽)／ﾔｯﾀｧｰ!! I can't wait to go back home on April 13th.
