An Arashi video even for the non-Arashi fans on my flist! :D Because it is just so majorly cool, yes. I spent the day fangirling. :D it's been quite a while and it was goooood~ :9

But first, a screencap of Oguri Shun on Tenchijin which makes me Laugh Out Loud and want to scream WHYOHWHY??! D:

First is a video from last week's Himitsu no Arashi-chan, for those of you who don't watch it regularly. Now here are things to watch out for:
Sho's Hard Gay "FUOOOOOOOO~!"
Nino's "yah!" and how adorable he is here. :P
Aiba's HILARIOUS sneezing face

...it's priceless. Seriously. This is one of the videos that will amuse even those who have no idea who Arashi are. XD
de wa..I present to you Arashi's Beatbox TV!

WATCH IT!! :D I think I've watched this at least 20 times already just coz I'm too entertained by it.

And another cool recent Arashi video to watch is Sho and Jun's Bakakkoii challenge. ^__^
Too lazy to put a coherent description, but Sho and Jun went through a grueling filming process just to get this right. XD But that's ruining things so let's just imagine that they did this all in one shot. ;)

Well, in truth Jun did get the ending part in one take. :P
Not as cool as the beatbox thing, but still amusing nonetheless.

=====

That's all for now.
I think I've forgotten how to fangirl. *___* WHUT. NOWAI.

again from jweb_love@LJ

Just a tidbit.

Ohchan came to watch Toma's stageplay! ^__^
along with the staff of Maou, even Shiori-chan came
He was really happy
afterwards, they went out to eat

Ohchan asked Toma to teach him the choreography of Toma's play
(He must have been really drunk by then, ne?)
Hand Jive (or something)
And Toma did teach him.
And Ohchan kept doing it over and over for about once every 10 minutes!

For some reason, he thanks Ohchan for it.

ありがとうね大ちゃん

that's all :)

Korea shows ended.
Something amazing happened.
Oddly beautiful, Everyone was singing!
He thanks the fans who came.
It was really amazing.
They celebrated Arashi's 10th year anniversary
They held papers with "Congratulations on your 10th year Anniversary!" written on them.
He was so moved, was crying in his heart.
Congratulations, Arashi.
Thanks, everyone.
They're entering their 10th year.

and..

Happy birthday NISHIKII~ <3

I love how he greeted Ryochan. WITH A HEART MARK. and calling him NISHIKII~
like this

にしきー

Oh Nino.

I just can't stop listening to it.
It's so beautiful...♥

ありのままで　もう一回歩き出そう 悲しみ越えて
誰のでもない　名もなき道を
明日もそう　夢に　向かって　悩んで 笑って　笑って
今ここにいる　僕が僕の全て それだけは変わらない

...it loses a lot of its wonder when translated.
ありのままで一番でしょう？

The song itself is lovely to listen to. It makes my heart feel light. This is why none of them can ever top Arashi for me. Because KAT-TUN sings trashy songs (lyrics-wise, but they're damn catchy!), NEWS and Kanjani8 sing really shallow songs (imo, no offense, I love them both, but the songs they release lately are just MEH.) *dodges bricks*

Ijou. ♥

PS.
This week's Shukudai-kun was beyond hilarious (as it often is). Jun just keeps embarrassing himself over and over with that singing game.

PPS.
I've had it on loop for 45 minutes now. o___o

Arashi on HEY!HEY!HEY!
July 07, 2008

(summaries only, not actual word-for-word translation)
Things that Arashi did!

First was Jun..
- Bumped into a famous person in town!
One day when his work ended, he decided to go shopping in Omotesando. He was walking and was talking on the phone with a friend when he saw a "big" person in front of him. (Big, probably meaning he stood out) Then he's like, "I know that person...wait, he's a sempai..." and then, "ARE? (Katori)Shingo-kun(SMAP)?"
And then what commenced were normal greetings, like "A, doumo..doumo.."
Actually, Shingo only noticed him once they've passed each other. Then when he did notice Jun, they shook hands. Then Shingo took out a digital camera and said, "Hey, let's take a picture of both of us here!"

Second was Aiba. This is a really funny story.
- Made a sempai really mad!
At first he talked about what a good sempai Mabo (Matsuoka Masahiro, TOKIO) is and that he'd occasionally ask Aiba-chan out to eat. Then one day, Mabo invited him to go out and they're agreement was 6am, and Mabo was even going to pick Aiba-chan up from his house.
Now normally, one would wake up at 5:30am or earlier for a 6am appointment. And then at 6:10am he woke up because of his cellphone. As it turns out, Mabo had been calling several times.
That put Aiba-chan in super panic mode, and he says something like, "When you know you're in big trouble and you're panicking, it's like human instinct to lie, right? So I said, 'Ah, I'm coming right out.' "
And then Aibaka in panic mode didn't know what he was thinking and jumps into the bath! (even though he's so late)
Given that he was already 10 minutes late, he took another 20 minutes to get ready. and when he got out of the house and into Mabo's car, Mabo was looking really sullen.
So then the car started to move. Then Aiba says, "Wait! I forgot to lock the house. Let's go back, please."
And Mabo was like, "YOU! (OMAE!)"
And Aiba was apologizing all over the place. And finally he says that even though he did something to make Mabo really angry, Mabo was really a good person.

Next is Sho, another stupid story.
- [ no idea what the kanji said ]
In any case, it's a story about one time he rode a taxi and told the cab driver right away where he was going. Then he fell asleep. The next thing that happened was he was being woken up by the driver in a completely different place that what Sho told him, and they passed the place where he was supposed to get off. And so Sho was like, please go back.
When he finally got to where he meant to go in the first place, the taxi fare was really high, like 4-5000 yen. So Sho said, "Driver, let's negotiate."
And he ended up discussing (or arguing) the issue with the driver for a long time, the conversation being, "And I won't pay. But you don't want that. But if I do pay, I wouldn't want that...So what do you say about I take off 1000 yen, and I'll pay you 3100..." and the driver was apologizing over and over making Sho really uncomfortable, up until the end, where Sho ended up seeing the driver off, waving even.

Leader's was SO funny too.
- I changed my hairstyle!
The hosts were like, what the hell is this? What kind of "accomplishment" is this? This is so lame!
And the Arashi members were pursuading them to listen to what leader had to say.
So they do.
And Ohno said, "Ah, I changed my hairstyle."
*facepalm*
Sasuga leader da yo ne? :3
Well anyway, he had the previous hairstyle for 2 straight years, or so they said.

Nino's was about magic again. And he ended up doing magic AGAIN.
Is anyone else tired of this? Haha.
I do think Nino's cute with his magic act and all, even forgetting his precious games to do magic. He even says he doesn't do anything else at home anymore, and he goes off to places to perform magic and stuff like that. And Jun said, "You're really busy lately, aren't you?"

Then the show gets cut off suddenly right after Sho says, "where the heck did that come from?!" to Matsumoto-san(Downtown). So there. :D

---

Yay for me. :3
I was LOL-ing all throughout the show. :D ARASHI IS LOVE. ♥

There are a lot of Maou promotions lately. Have you heard it? (as background music)
Arashi's TRUTH sounds like a REALLY good song. Yes or YES? :3
I like the sound of it better than One Love or Step and Go, actually. I hope it becomes this year's big hit for Arashi. ^^

I'm not exactly sure but...
Tatoe donna owari wo egaitemo
Kokoro wa nazo neite(?)
sore wa maru de yami no you ni
semaru shinjitsu
tatoe donna sekai wo egaitemo
ashita wa kienakute
sore maru de kimi no you ni
kegare wo shiranai
sekai wa tomenai...

and the last word I don't get... =__=
I really love the pre-chorus, starting from "modorenai~ *enter second voice I don't understand*..."

for example, no matter what end we draw
our hearts are a riddle
that is like a complete darkness
the truth draws near
for example, no matter what world we draw
tomorrow won't disappear
that's completely like you
not knowing the impurity
the world won't stop...

===

Gosh, I can't help it. Hahahaha~!! IT'S SO FUNNY!!
*too lazy to screencap tho (a lot of people have done it anyways*

(I'll be translating a pretty long segment here. Hahaha. under the cut for everyone's convenience?)

Aiba: "Are we going to cut out the chikubi part of your shirt?"
Guest + Nino: "Please!"
Sho: (=__=) .... (>__<) "Let's cut it."
[determination]
Aiba: "The mercy round has been decided!" (Naki no ikkai~)
Aiba: "Ah, this is good, Sakurai-kun will be running, that's the plan right?"
Sho: "Well I don't understand the meaning of having to sit there (chair at the center of everything) with my nipples exposed right?!"
Jun: *do-S mode!* "Ah, doing it here would be better." *points to chair*
Jun: "Over here will DEFINITELY be funnier."
Aiba: "Yeah, let's get Nino-chan to run."
Sho: *wails* "I DON'T LIKE THIS MORE!"

*Nino and Jun insist that it's funnier if Sho's nipples are exposed while he's seated on the chair in the center of everything. LOL*

Aiba: "So what'll it be? The mercy round...you don't want to do it? Are you going to do it?"
Sho: (TT_TT) ... (>___<) "Let's do it."

*while Aiba-chan cuts Sho's t-shirt in the chikubi area*
Guest (forgot her name): "This is the most embarrassing thing ever!"
Sho: "IT'S YOUR FAULT, ISN'T IT???!"
Nino: "Is this okay for NEWS ZERO?"
Jun: "It's a relief, ne, that Shukudai-kun doesn't come before that show."
Aiba: "Ahh, good good good." (referring to the way he cut out the nipple part of Sho's shirt)
Sho: "Sleep, everyone. Hurry up and SLEEP!!"
Sho: "Hey, the holes are smaller than when MatsuJun was doing it!"
Sho: "This is SERIOUSLY embarrassing!!"
*Jun and Aiba take out big red tape*

....Okay I got lazy just now. Haha.
Anyway it cracked my up when Nino called out, "Let's go, HENTAI CONAN!"

More interesting conversations:
Oh, and there's a part where Nino pointed out that Sho did boy scouting before. And they asked how long he did it, then Sho said that he left the same day he came. LOL. When he was asked why, this was what he said:

Sho: "Well, I went so that I wouldn't be bullied by the kid who was bullying me. But then when I came there, that kid was there too. When I entered, I thought, I'm going to get bullied even more!"

After that, another interesting fact about Sho-chan!

Aiba: "You did rugby too, right?"
Sho: "Yeah, I did."
Jun: "Why did you stop?"
Sho: "I was scared of colliding into people."

Then they started doubting whether or not Sho can run. Haha.

...I haven't been reading magazine translations lately and now I don't know what's going on with them anymore. *sigh* :(

Odoroki no Arashi SP 4!! Can't wait!! :DDD

PS.
I did a bit of translating of last week's episode too. :D over here.

Sho's part!
More accurately, there's this advice column on the KISS & LOVE booklet, and Sho-chan was one of the boys who answered the girls' problems. I honestly couldn't help laughing at this.

"I'm in love with my teacher. Should I just give up?"
My problem is that I've fallen in love with my school teacher. My teacher is 25 years old. Since our age difference is 12 years, I also consulted with my friends. "It's impossible, so just give it up," they told me. In this situation, is it really better to give up? Or should I at least convey my feelings first? (a 13 year-old girl)

Sho's answer: "I think it's better if you have a good relationship as teacher & student."
For this case, I think it's better if you don't confess your feelings for him. You should wait till you graduate middle school. Because, if your classmates find out about your confession, and if your teacher shows even a bit of kindness to you, they might think that he's favoring you. On the other hand, if your teacher becomes more conscious about it, he might treat you more firmly/strictly. That's hard, right? But since you like your teacher, going to school is enjoyable right? Like seeing him everyday, and staring at him throughout the entire class. By going to the faculty room to ask questions when classes are over, the relationship between teacher and student becomes good. I think that won't be a problem....oops, wait a minute. 25 years old you say...your teacher and I are the same age! Hmm...for me right now, if you're talking about being able to look at a 13 year old girl as a person I can have a romantic relationship with, that's a bit severe, I think. Of course, our personalities might have differences, but I think right now it would be wiser if you don't tell him how you feel. Also, I think that nothing is impossible to give up on.

I'll likely do Jun's next, when I'm not lazy. I actually translated this one during two of my classes. Haha.

I'm sorry for spamming tonight. >____<
anyway, I finished the second part. (these excerpts are actually really short so...) This one's funnier than the first one. hahaha :D I love them to bits. <3
Anyway, on with it now...

Dr. Arashi's Heart
(March 2001)

Q: At the start of a new semester, how will you make a good impression?
Sho: First of all, introducing yourself in a gloomy way isn't good ne. But being too cheerful is overdoing it.
Aiba: Really? I like it, stuff like putting gags into your introduction.
Nino: Are gags really okay? For example, what kind of gag?
Aiba: YOROCHIKUBI~! (t/n: Yoroshiku = standard polite thing to say when introducing yourself + Chikubi = nipples)
(everyone explodes into laughter)
Jun: Doing something that embarrassing is terrible! For the next three years, your nickname will be "Nipples"!
Nino: Aiba-kun really wants to challenge anything to get people to like him.
Q: For example, among your belongings, is there something that catches your attention more than others? Like something inside your desk that's really dirty.
Nino: For me, if there's something really dirty inside my desk, I don't really notice. Even if there's a moldy bread in there, it's fine.
Sho: Really? I wouldn't be able to stand moldy bread.
Nino: That's because I'm like that too. For three years I never washed my school slippers.
Ohno: (dropping in) During middle school, I didn't take a bath for five straight days!
Nino: I did that for 3 days! (laughing face)
Ohno: I don't like it when my hair becomes flat, so because I thought that it will stay fluffy if I don't wash it, I became like that.
Nino: Me, for 3 days I didn't take my uniform off. Since I don't take a bath, I wake up the same way I slept and go to school as it is.
Sho: I belong to a really amazing group!
Q: So is there anyone here who likes to keep their desks neat?
Jun: Yappari, the feeling of being neat is important yo.
Sho: That's right. I'm bothered by the fact that you're not bothered even if you have rotting bread in your desk.
Nino: I hate hamipan! (t/n: I think it's when a girl's underwear shows under her PE shorts, coz PE shorts in Japan are like SUPER short)
Sho: .....Hey you...... That's totally different from what the conversation is about!
Jun: He connected it to "pan" (bread). (laugh)
Nino: If the girl I like is running a marathon, and the moment I go "Oh! <3" I'll see her hamipan, I'll hate her.
Aiba: Ah~ that happens ne.
Jun: For me, hampian is okay. But if her bra shows, it's unforgivable.
Sho: Why is that?
Nino: It comes with being in a co-ed environment.
Jun: Isn't wearing another shirt the proper way to go about it?
Nino: Around me, there were a lot of guys whose nipples are always showing. That's yorochikubi, seriously.
Aiba: Ah! You used it! (laugh) But I hate it when the bra shows too.
Q: What about Ohchan?
Ohno: I liked it when a girl leaves her hair wet after swimming class and wears her uniform with her hair like that. Also when they tie their hair loosely.
Sho: The conversation topic changed again. (laugh)
Aiba: But I like the wet hair thing too. <3
Ohno: I like it when they hang their towel over their shoulder too... <3
Q: Ohchan, what do you think about hamipan?
Ohno: Hamipan.... (thinks about it)
Jun: But cute girls don't have hamipan, do they? They're more careful.
Sho: Hey, what's "hamipan" anyway?
Aiba: You don't know, Sho-kun?!
Sho: (gathering from general opinion) Why is it so bad?!
Nino: You'll know if you see it! People really slack off in the middle of the year so it happens a lot. But those people don't really notice.
Ohno: During swimming class, if the girl I think of as "She's cute~ <3" suddenly appears with snivel hanging out of her nose, I'd get really turned off.
Sho: Saying that, you aren't listening to the conversation are you?

I haven't started on the next part yet, and I'm wondering how they'll be like then. They were so young during this time. I find it so funny that they can't keep a topic going for more than a few sentences! LOL @ Ohchan!! hahahahahahaha~
and NINO~! The color-switching I do is REALLY mendokusai kedo...it's a lot easier to read that way, right?
Anyhow, I hoped you enjoyed this installment. :) Arashi saikou~! <3<3<3

I met Ate Katz (katkatz08) today and she requested me to translate what's inside the extra booklet that came with Myojo september. :D I'm not sure though if she asked me to translate the ENTIRE thing or just Aiba-chan's. >___< lol. So Ate Katz, tell me if you want something else from the booklet translated okay? for now I've only done Aiba's, Yoko's, and Subaru's parts. ^^

The Ideal girl for me is....

Aiba Masaki
"I want someone who can match my tension."
The type that is ideal for me is someone I can naturally fall in love with, even without straining herself. And then someone who can find enjoyment anywhere is good! Someone who smiles happily while listening to my stories, someone who will properly tsukkomi me at the right time...hmm, whichever is good. (laugh) My tension really rises instantly, so i'll be happy if our tension rises together, ne. If we have common hobbies, the date will be really fun it seems. Ah, but like futsal or sports, it's okay if she doesn't do those things, coz it will be really terrible if she gets injured! As for fashion or make up, I'm not really hoping for something particularly. But only during a very special date, I want her to be really fashionable, wearing a mature, gorgeous dress and such. (laugh)

Yokoyama Yuu
At the moment, the type I like is someone who is older and like an older sister type. Office lady (OL). Maa~ someone like [he mentioned a person's name, but I can't read it], someone really beautiful and neat. But that type has always been the ideal type ne. Right now, if I talk about the person I want to go out with, I take into account what's inside more than appearance. "A beautiful person gets tiring after 3 days." such a thing is said right? So if ever I go out with someone, for example she says, "My hobby is cooking", someone like that who seems to have a warm home is better, I think. Even if she hasn't decided on a specialty dish, just being able to cook something delicious out of whatever's in the fridge, that already merits high points! Someone who could cheer for me about work, someone who could prepare a nice environment for me, someone who can tolerate going out with me...that would be really nice.

Shibutani Subaru
Ideal, huh? Even if I say something specific, I don't really care, yo. When talking about someone I would like, hmm...it will come unexpectedly, yeah. Maa~ I'd be more attracted to long hair, probably. That's suitable ne? Although I have no reason not to like people with short hair either, when it comes to hairstyle, as long as it suits the person. But that doesn't have any relation at all to me liking the person. However, the only thing that I wound consider to be not good is blond hair. I have quite a weakness against gyaru type girls, really. That's about it. About appearance, she can wear whatever she wants and I won't say anything about it. If she says she wants to wear second hand clothes, I don't really care. Someone who has matching hobbies and interests as I do, someone who I can talk to, someone who's kind, that would be good. That's all.

------------
I actually want to translate Tegoshi's and Massu's. Tegoshi is REALLY picky when it comes to girls. He has a VERY specific type of girl that he likes, which even includes how she has to look good in hats, and she has to have the same fashion sense as he does. He's VERY picky when it comes to fashion. >____<
Anyhow, Ate Katz!! comment me or text me or whatever if you have any more requests! :D
