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

Toma went as a surprise guest on Oguri Shun's radio show, All Night Nippon, on October 8. They talked about some things about the upcoming HanaKimi special, and some other things. Also answered some fans' questions.
I don't listen too intently, but there were quite funny moments. Coz well, altho Shun doesn't call Toma "yome" (wife) anymore, and Toma doesn't call Shun "danna" (husband), they're still really good friends who tease each other a lot. >__<
For those who can understand Japanese or just want to hear Toma and Shun being goofy, you can download the file here, if you want. I tried uploading it to vox but it keeps failing on me. u__u''
I wish I had downloaded those old ANN episodes where Toma is guest a long time ago. Now the links are dead. *sigh*

Wait...I did! Not all of them, but I have some. Hmm..must listen to them some time.
Anyway,
at around 12 minutes:
Shun: I was listening to the recasting of old episodes.
Toma: Oh, it's been a while since you've been alone doing this, huh?
Shun: You, I'll never let you be alone.
Toma: *laughs* Shut up you!

at around 16 minutes, they talk about Mizushima Hiro! <3
Shun: Hitting butt cheeks is kinda nice, ne? During the special I kind of bumped into Hiro's butt, since then I was always touching his butt. For around 3 minutes!
Toma: There are different ways of touching, ne?
Shun: Hiro was, "Please stop it. Ne, Shun-kun, it's getting late so please stop it."
Toma: He really has a nice butt doesn't he?
Shun: Yeah, he really does.
Shun: But he is, overall, a good guy, ne. Actually, I don't really know what it is about Hiro-kun...
Toma: It's like you really want to know what his weakness is ne? About Hiro-kun.
Shun: Yeah, like...his teeth are always bleeding.
Toma: Hey, THAT's a big weakness!
*Shun laughing*
Toma: Like it won't stop and his mouth would be all covered in blood.
Shun: That's a weakness ne. But he's a really good guy ne. He's smart...
Toma: He's smart, he's also good at soccer..
Shun: Good at soccer, he's an athlete, English too..right?
Toma: His voice is sexy too.
Toma: But his teeth would be bleeding!
*both laugh*

Shun: There's a scene where he's brushing his teeth and he'd be, "Hello. I'm Mizushima Hiro. My teeth always bleed."
(of course they're just kidding about this)
....

They talked about Maki-chan and Toma's birthdays. Since Maki's birthday is October 6, and Toma's is October 7. Shun called Toma up on his birthday. And they mentioned that Maki-chan's an adult now since she turned 20 already (just 3 days after me. o__o).
Shun played a bit of Yui's "Happy Birthday" and he was singing! LOL~ and he gave Toma a cake and a birthday present. :)
His present was a hat, coz he knew Toma liked hats. Apparently, someone leaked out that he was going to appear on ANN so he was able to prepare.
There were actually 3 hats.

Then fans begin sending letters about how they knew Hiro's weakness. But Toma and Shun weren't satisfied with what they said, since they only said things about the stuff that he can't stand or hates. They said it wasn't a weakness.
Then there was another letter that said she saw Hiro's handwriting and that he's not very good at writing (characters). in other words his penmanship is bad.

Toma: You idiot! Oguri Shun's handwriting is worse!
*both laugh*

Then Toma told a story about how Hiro's poop smells really bad. Like during filming of HanaKimi, Hiro went out of the toilet and the smell was really really bad that Toma couldn't stand it. But for him, it isn't a weakness.
So they said that they want more weaknesses coz they can't consider those weaknesses.
Then their conversation went back to how they want to hear weaknesses like "his teeth always bleed".
=__=''
Oh boys. hahahaha. They're so funny.
They keep laughing, it's so cute. ^__^

People just keep sending stuff. Like "It seems Hiro can't cook."
Toma: Can you cook?
Shun: I can't cook.
Toma: Right?
Shun: You?
Toma: I can't.
*both laugh*
Toma: What is this?? Hiro~

Then people keep sending more like, "Hiro can't swim." and "Hiro sucks at achi-muite-hoi", and "Hiro is tennen."
And Shun acts like he's tired of what he keeps hearing already, coz people keep sending "cute episodes" about Hiro and not actually weaknesses.
Shun is so funny, I swear.
Toma just keeps laughing in the background while Shun is acting up.
This is at around 45 minutes. :P

Then they realized that the show became a corner where they're trying to find Mizushima Hiro's weakness, so they began to apologize to Hiro. Like Shun was saying that if Hiro gets mad because of this, he will apologize immediately. And he was telling the listeners not to send mail to Hiro saying that Shun is trying to "make" Hiro's weakness coz he'll definitely get mad. Although, it's alright if Hiro gets mad coz he has every intention to apologize right away.
But they continue the corner anyway. =__=''

They also told a funny story about Hiro during filming. They were so cute telling that story. Not so funny if I tell it here. =__=''
It's around the 1hr:15min mark.

I stopped listening intently after that coz I actually have to study. >__< But seriously, these two are so cute together! <3 And the whole show turned into a "Mizushima Hiro's weakness" corner. u__u

I think they gave up in the end. Haha.
That's all for today, I guess >__<.

I just had to write about this and engrave it into memory!
It was so funny! I'll only talk about this part about Jun, though, and a bit at the end. I'm sure someone's going to sub this soon, anyway. ^^

Toma on Jun:
Ueda: "From Matsumoto Jun-kun: What do you want to say to Toma-kun?

When we were in middle school, he got spray on my video game and destroyed it. Until now he still doesn't say anything about it.

That's cruel~! That was in middle school, around 7 or 8 years ago, right?"

Toma: "It's actually been more than 10 years. This is...er...I did a stageplay with MatsuJun called Stand By Me. We got into a little fight."

Ueda: "For real?"

Toma: "For real. It was a really childish fight. So while MatsuJun was on stage, I was sitting around backstage thinking, Damn, MatsuJun! then, Oh! MatsuJun's game is here!"

Ueda: "Cruel! So you didn't do it accidentally?!"

Toma: "So, I played around with it and broke it."

Ueda: "Why have you kept it secret this long? Also, why did you suddenly say it now?"

Toma: "Well, it's out on TV so I might as well say it."

Ueda: "You said it on TV even before you told the real person! ... You haven't apologized about it, have you?"

Toma: "No, I haven't."

Ueda: "Then apologize now, please."

Toma: "MatsuJun, gomen ne."

Vlcsnap-1591942

Ueda: "What a gentle apology!"
"Er, what kind of person is MatsuJun?"

Toma: "MatsuJun is...quite DoS (sadist) ne."

Ueda: "So he's like that towards you?"

Toma: "Yes, he does a bit."

Ueda: "How so?"

Toma: "Like, OY~! *motion of putting his arm around someone's shoulder*"

Ueda: "Sorry, but the Do-S-ness didn't really come across to me! I just think you're really good friends based on what you just said!" *Toma laughs*

Toma: "Besides that, in the middle of the night like 1 or 2 am, I'd get a call from him like
Jun : What are you doing right now?
Toma : I'm at home, and I'm about to go to sleep.
Jun : COME!
Toma : Uwa~ but I'm a bit sleepy already...
Jun : Ah, so you're that kind of person...
Toma : I'LL GO!

But really, MatsuJun is a shy* person so he probably says it that way coz he can't say it straight out."
(Toma used the term "tere", as in tsundere, also MatsuJun recently confessed in Shukudai-kun that he's a real-life tsundere.)

Ueda: "Ah, so since he's shy, he uses that Do-S method to invite people out."

===========

Toma falls asleep on-stage! O__O
Toma: "I actually fell asleep in the middle of a stageplay once. On the stage."
...
Toma: "Like I mentioned earlier, I did a stageplay with MatsuJun called Stand by Me. Arashi's Ninomiya and Aiba-chan and MatsuJun and me were in it. On stage I fell asleep was sort of falling down already when Nino said in a small voice,
Oi, wake up! wake up!
I thought, That was close!"

============

Toma on beach sandals...

Toma: "I went to Kanjani 8's concert once. I didn't think I'd appear (on stage). They were doing the concert in Tokyo Dome for the first time, so I thought I had to go and support them. The members told me to come up on stage.
Eh? Is it okay? I'm sorry, but okay, I'll come up.
Then BA~! (lout noise) went my beach sandals. I was like, I'm sorry, Tokyo Dome.

...

Toma: "There was a time I went to Arashi's concert too. It isn't about beach sandals, but I went without having any intention to appear (on stage). That time, Sho-kun went
Toma came today. Please come up on stage.
I was wearing a hat then, and I thought I shouldn't be wearing a hat on stage so I took it off. When I saw the monitor, my hair was *PETA~N* (really flat. Like hat-head). That also was a moment where I thought, I'm sorry, Tokyo Dome."

Ueda: "You're really...maa, apologize to Tokyo Dome right now too."

Toma: "I'm sorry, Tokyo Dome."

This post took longer than I expected. (>__<)
Ohwell, TOMA IS LOVE~! ♥ ♥

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. ♥

mao-chan on hanamaru cafe
I haven't watched the entire thing, just the part where she mentioned F4 so far.
She talks about Jun's "makezugirai" (hates to lose) personality. She calls him "Jun-kun" too. :D If you've watched that clip where the two of them are interviewed and then Mao-chan gives Jun a poke on the side and Jun like, literally jumps up and Mao says that she enjoys doing that but only when the timing is right coz otherwise Jun does a mean brush off (which she imitates).

Anyway, back to the reason of my post.
She talks about how Jun hates to lose. Like when they were in Las Vegas and were spending a lot of time with each other, they'd play Tetris and Bomberman on her cellphone and Jun would be really bad at it.
Then he goes back to Japan for work (a.k.a. le Johnny's demanding schedule) and when he comes back to Las Vegas he's all cheerful and he borrows Mao-chan's phone again. When he returned it, all the levels of the game(s) were cleared and Mao-chan, surprised, thinks, "Why does he hate to lose that much?" o__o

And then she teases Jun by saying, "You sneakily practiced, didn't you?"
And Jun's like, "I did not!" (Mao-chan's so cute saying "Shitenee yo!" :3)

That's all. :3
I just think it's a cute anecdote. ^^

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...

===

I am pretty hardworking in the song translation business lately. But it's just because I found new songs I really like. :)

ending theme of ROOKIES
beautiful song. seriously. the first time I watched the video in full, I teared up. (or maybe I'm just hypersensitive like that) but really, listen, watch it. the video is PERFECT for the song, and you can really feel the song through the video.
I looked for lyrics, transcribed it, then translated it.
who would've thought I'd tear up again while typing the translation. Haha! It's just so beautiful. It's about an everlasting love. And gosh...you can really feel it in the video. Watch it and you'll know what I mean. So many feelings...from childhood until when you're really old and senile...
GReeeeN is AMAZING.
will upload their latest album plus this (Kiseki) when I have more time. In the meantime:

=== English translation (may not be 100% accurate, but I did my best) ===

i'll be loving you more tomorrow than today
these overflowing thoughts won't stop
even though I love you so much until now, I can't put it into words
the days you gave me pile up
the miracle of the days that passed that we walked together
our first meeting might be coincidence or fate
but to meet you again and again, that's a miracle
as we walked side by side, an everlasting love took shape
I want to be laughing by your side forever
thank you
i love you
it may not be enough but at least let me say that I'm happy

your right palm was always covered just by my left palm
even with just that
I could feel love
in those days, we found small happiness and piled them up
the miracle we slowly walked
our meeting in this large world
that small event, meeting again, that is a miracle
there are days that I can't go on
if we are together, the weather clears
pretending to be strong and being lonely can't be forgotten
because of you
I can be here
so always stay with me, to you, my beloved

in the home town were we played together
even that is our treasured days
the times when we told and expressed our thoughts
was the first time you showed that facial expression
you opened up a bit with a nod
the love that made me show you my heart
we're still in the middle of a journey, again, from now on, even before, in tens of years
we continue towards the future

for example, look, even if we seem to lose sight of tomorrow...

as we walked side by side, an everlasting love took shape
I want to be laughing by your side forever
thank you
i love you
it may not be enough but at least let me say that I'm happy
there are days that I can't go on
if we are together, the weather clears
we'll share everything even happiness and sadness
because you're here
because you're living on

so always stay by my side, to you, my beloved

until the last second

more than today, tomorrow you will be here with a greater smile
just with that, because I think that,
even if tens, hundreds, or thousands of years pass
I love you.

It's okay to re-post the lyrics and translation if you want but ask me first. In any case, I ripped the mp3 off the PV.

DOWNLOAD GReeeeN - KISEKI mp3

And the WONDERFUL PV:

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.
