It's been a while... SO SORRY!! (.T___T.)

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 15:01:36 GMT

Hello Friends♥

Are you all still around? I've noticed some new faces around here. Welcome!! (.^___^.)
I'm not as active on LJ as before since my new life is really busy, but I'm REALLY enjoying my life!!
How are you all? I hope you are all doing well♥

I am still a NEWS and Kanjani8 fan. (.^o^.)♥
And of course I still like Ryo.

It's summer vacation and I'm heading home in a few days for some family time, but before I got I wanted to post translations to two of Ryo's songs. Gosh, he writes such amazing songs. Makes me like him even more.

錦戸亮 – ordinary

作詞・作曲：錦戸亮

夕焼けが街を紅く染める　目の前は続く工事渋滞
Yuuyake ga machi wo akaku someru me no mae wa tsuzuku koujijyuutai
The sunset colors the city red. In front of me is the continuing traffic from construction work.
歩道には急ぐスーツの人　僕はただ君を想い描く
Hodou ni wa isogu suutsu no hito boku wa tada kimi wo omoiegaku
On the sidewalk are hurrying people in suits. I start having thoughts of you.

「月明かり照らしたあの夜」　「行き先も決めずに走る道」
Tsukiakari terashita ano yoru ikisaki mo kimezuni hashiru michi
That moonlit night… Driving with no destination in mind…
「気付かないふりした遠回り」　僕はまだ君を想い描く
Kizukanai furishita toomawari boku wa mada kimi wo omoi egaku
Acting oblivious in taking the long route… I continue to think of you.

囁いた言葉が　握った手のぬくもりが
Sasayaita kotoba ga nigitta te no nukumori ga
The words you whispered, the warmth from seizing your hand,
包み込むそっと　今　景色が生まれ変わる
Tsutsumikomu sotto ima keshiki ga umarekawaru
Softly encloses me. The scenery now comes back to life.

退屈な今日に色を加えて　憂鬱な明日に魔法をかけて
Taikutsuna kyou ni iro wo kuwaete yuutsuna ashita ni mahou wo kakete
Add some color to a dull today and cast a spell on a gloomy tomorrow.
何気なく過ごした時間(とき)でさえ　大切な記憶に変えていく
Nanigenaku sugoshita toki de sae taisetsu na kioku ni kaeteiku
Even the times that were spent aimlessly changes into precious memories.

空はまだ微かに明るく　並んでる紅いランプの中
Sora wa mada kasuka ni akaruku naranderu akai ranpu no naka
The sky is still dimly lit. [In my car] within the line of red lights,
ラジオから流れるラブソング　「愛してる」「愛してる」
Rajio kara nagareru rabu songu aishiteru aishiteru
A love song plays from the radio. “I love you… I love you…”

あの映画の様に　今　君に伝えにいこう
Ano eiga no youni ima kimi ni tsutaeni ikou
Just like in that one movie, I shall go and tell you my feelings now.

些細な仕草　照れ隠しの嘘　不意に流す涙　屈託ない笑み
Sasaina shigusa terekakushi no uso fui ni nagasu namida kuttakunai emi
Trivial gestures, lies to hide embarrassment, unexpected tears and carefree smiles.
出来るなら全て抱いていたい　だから僕の側に居て
Dekirunara subete daite itai dakara boku no sobani ite
If I can, I want to embrace it all so stay by my side.

退屈な今日に色を加えて　憂鬱な明日に魔法をかけて
Taikutsuna kyou ni iro wo kuwaete yuutsuna ashita ni mahou wo kakete
Add some color to a dull today and cast a spell on a gloomy tomorrow.
何気なく過ごした時間(とき)でさえ　大切な記憶に変えてみせよ
Nanigenaku sugoshita toki de sae taisetsu na kioku ni kaetemiseyo
Even the times that were spent aimlessly I will change them into precious memories.

捻りもないありふれた言葉で　よく聞くありふれたメロディで
Hineri mo nai arigureta kotoba de yoku kiku arifureta merodi de
With ordinary words that have no twists, a familiar ordinary melody,
変わらない聞きなれた声で　歌うよ僕だけのラブソング
Kawaranai kikinareta koe de utau yo boku dake no rabu songu
And the same voice you’re used to hearing, I will sing my very own love song.
届けばいい君にだけ　響けばいい君にだけ
Todokeba ii kimini dake hibikeba ii kimi ni dake
I hope it reaches you. I hope it has meaning for you.

錦戸亮 – Half Down

作詞：錦戸亮・HIKARI　作曲：錦戸亮

どんなに繕ってみても　どんなに着飾ってみても
Donnani tsukurottemitemo donnani kikazattemitemo
No matter how much I try to fix myself, no matter how much I try to dress myself up,
変われない僕が居て　そこに君も居て
Kawarenai boku ga ite sokoni kimi mo ite
There I am, unable to change. And there you are.
抱えきれない理想と　隠しきれない不安を
Kakaekirenai risou to kakushikirenai fuan wo
The ideals I could not hold and the fears I could not hide,
誰かのせいにしたあの頃
Dareka no sei ni shita ano koro
I blamed it all on someone else in those days.

すれ違う度に　すり切れていく街並
Surechigau tabi ni surikireteiku machinami
Whenever we pass by each other, the townscapes fade away.
君の目に僕はどう映ってた？
Kimi no me ni boku wa dou utsutteta
How did I reflect in your eyes?

二人過ごした日々だけが今も輝いたまま
Futari sugoshita hibi dakega ima mo kagayaita mama
Only the times we spent together shine now.
閉じ込めた思いが　時折この胸に渦巻くんだ
Tojikometa omoi ga tokiori kono mune ni uzumakunnda
At times, all the feelings I have bottled-in spins around in my heart.
小さな嘘も　エゴも　傷も　許し合えたなら
Chiisana uso mo ego mo kizu mo yurushiaeta nara
If we were able to forgive each other’s little lies, egos and flaws,
今でも側で笑ってたかな
Ima demo sobade waratteta kana
Would we have remained smiling beside one another?

どれだけ後悔してみても巻き戻せない昨日
Doredake koukai shitemitemo makimodosenai kinou
No matter how much I regret things, I can’t bring back yesterday.
同じように世界は明日を待っていて
Onajiouni sekai wa asu wo matteite
In the same way, the world waits for tomorrow.
振り返しによく似たカレンダーの中にさえ
Kurikaeshini yoku nita karendaa no naka ni sae
And if only, in a calendar that resembles repetition,
淡い期待見出したり　なんてね
Awai kitai midashitari nanntene
We are able to find a slight hope?

もしも会えたなら　呆れた顔して
Moshimo aetanara akireta kao shite
If we were to meet, would I give a surprised look,
笑い飛ばすかな
Warai tobasu kana
And laugh it off?
今さら、って
Imasara tte
Saying, “Now, after all this time.”

いつだって僕は　理想ばっかり棚に並べてた
Itsudatte boku wa risou bakkari tana ni narabeteta
I always lined-up nothing but ideals on shelves.
いつだって君は　都会のいい夢ばっかり見てた
Itsudatte kimi wa tsugou no ii yume bakkari miteta
You always saw nothing but dreams that were suitable for you.
でも多分　過去も　現在も　未来も　認め合えるから
Demo tabun kako mo ima mo mirai mo mitomeaeru kara
But maybe, we can accept each other’s past, present and future.
そう信じて祈るだけ
Sou shinjite inoru dake
I just believe that and hope.

言葉にしたらあとは霞んで行く気がしてた
Kotoba ni shitara ato wa kasundeiku ki ga shiteta
I felt like it would fade away after I put it into words.
こうして唄ってる今　皮肉なものだね
Koushite utatteru ima hiniku na mono dane
But here I am singing it now. How ironic.
何も無かった時代と　何もかもがあった時代が
Nanimo nakatta jidai to nanimokamo ga atta jidai ga
The times when there was nothing and the times when there was everything,
優しい風のように
Yasashii kaze no youni
Like a soft wind…

二人過ごした日々だけが今も輝いたまま
Futari sugoshita hibi dakega ima mo kagayaita mama
Only the times we spent together shine.
閉じ込めた思いが　時折この胸に渦巻くんだ
Tojikometa omoi ga tokiori kono mune ni uzumakunnda
At times, all the feelings I have bottled-in spins around in my heart.
小さな希望を　勇気を　傷を　讃えあえたなら
Chiisana kibou wo yuuki wo kizu wo tataeaeta nara
If we could have glorified the small hopes, courage and scars,
今でも側で　笑ってたかな
Imademo soba de waratteta kana
Would we have remained smiling beside one another?

相変わらず僕は　理想ばっかり棚に並べては
Aikawarazu boku wa risou bakkari tana ni narabete wa
As always, I line-up nothing but ideals on shelves.
相変わらず君に　都会のいい夢ばっかり見てんだ
Aikawarazu kimi ni tsugou no ii yume bakkari mitenda
As always, I see in you, nothing but dreams that are suitable for me.
いつかは過去も　現在も　未来も　愛しく思えるなら
Itsuka wa kako mo ima mo mirai mo itoshiku omoeru nara
If one day, I can come to cherish the past, present and future,
何処までも行こう　僕のままで
Dokomademo yukou boku no mama de
Then I will go anywhere, staying true to myself.

I was really stunned when I first heard Half Down.

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL summer♥♥

P.S. I have some messages in my inbox I haven't answered yet. I will get to that as soon as possible. (.^-^.;)

Heading up north for New Years. (.^___^.)

Hello Friends!!

This is the ever-disappearing-Debbie. (.>o<.;)
I LOVE KAT-TUN's White X'mas♥

How have you all been? Did you have a good Christmas? I had a nice one. I gave presents and cards to all the English teachers at my school. After I got home, I called my family when it hit exactly midnight in the U.S. and we opened presents while we were on the phone. Then, I joined some of my friends for potluck. (.^___^.) Sorry for not having time to present you all with a translation for Christmas like every year... December was an especially busy month at my school. So much to do before March! The teachers are running around stressed. The 3rd year students are all nervous about the pending entrance exams, the 2nd years are realizing they are going to be the school leaders in 3 months, and the 1st years are still in the process of transitioning into junior high school students.

Happy Be-lated birthday to: Inzaliaa, Nasime, Joy and Pearl!! (.^o^.) Happy Birthday to Yuka_in_wonder!! (.^o^.) I hope you all had a wonderful birthday!!

Speaking of birthdays, my birthday is on the 30th and the English teachers at my school surprised me on Christmas day with a birthday present. In addition, a couple of basketball girls gave me a handmade birthday card. The 3rd year classes gave me a lot of love too. One class sang Happy Birthday to me, another class sand an English song dedicated to me and one boy in a different class wrote "Happy Birthday" on the chalkboard beautifully. (.^____^.) I'm seriously going to miss the 3rd years when they graduate. They're very cute and wonderful. Thankfully, I get along quite nicely with the 2nd year students, especially the girls and boys who are on the basketball team. Aww~ I will be saying goodbye to them the following year. (.T___T.)

I'm rambling, sorry! I wanted to come online to wish you all a happy new year. I am heading up to my grandmother's house for New Years and I don't think she has internet. I can still check my e-mail on my cell phone and technically I can still check my LJ, but I will probably only be replying to comments and will not be posting any new entries until I get back. Anywho, HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR♥ I had a pretty good year this year.
Thank you friends! You have all been really great company in this LJ world. I hope to talk with you more next year!!

Sincerely,
Debbie

P.S. My first post for 2009 will be a translation of a song from NEWS's newest album. Stay tuned!

The weather is so strange right now...

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 10:57:51 GMT

Hey Friends! (.^___^.)

Sorry, I disappearead again. This month has been perhaps the busiest month for me so far at my school. We had to prepare for demonstration classes for the Board of Education and stuff. The demonstration class went well, so yay! Y(.^o^.)

How have you all been? Good I hope. The weather here has been weird since last night. There was a horrible thunderstorm last night which continued on until this morning and then in the afternoon is started snowing. Now it is back to the thunderstorm. Hence, I will be getting offline as soon as I finish this post. I currently don't have my laptop plugged in, so I'm using battery power. (.^__^.)

I've missed some birthdays:
Happy Be-lated Birthday, Zsu, Lily, Yuu-nyan, Tiemi-chan, Morty & Karu-chan!! I hope you all had a most wonderful birthday!! **HUGS**

Adorable Tegoshi-kun♥♥ お誕生日おめでとう！！いつまでも可愛くてカッコイイ裕也くんでいてね。

Maruお誕生日おめでとう！いつも笑わせてくれてありがとう。いっぱい甘いもの誕生日に食べましたか。

This year will be the first Christmas I spend without my family. (.T___T.) I'm okay though! I sent my Christmas presents to my family on Friday, so I'm happy. I won't be spending Christmas with them in person, but we intend to talk on the phone A LOT on Christmas. (.^___^.)

By the way, what is your impression on Ryo's drama, Ryuusei no Kizuna? I like it.♥ Ryo makes me laugh in this role. I also like it because it is a mystery drama.

I bought NEWS's new album, but I haven't listened to it yet. I also bought one for my older sister for one of her Christmas presents, so I want to wait until we are able to listen to it together. The students at my school said it is a great album, what do you think?.

Happy Birthday to Everyone

Sat, 08 Nov 2008 10:04:53 GMT

I think it's really great that NEWS's new song turned out to be a birthday song. (.^___^.) This is perhaps really lame but with this post I would like to wish my friends who has had a birthday while I was away from LJ, as well as those who will be having their birthday, a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Happy Be-lated birthday to Uchi Hiroki, Yasuda Shota and Shibutani Subaru too. I didn't forget about your guys' birthdays either!

P.S. Thanks Jenpi (my older sister) for helping me whenever I have difficulty trying to figure out how I want to word things when I'm translating songs. LOVE YOU LOTS!! **HUGS**

Hello Friends!!

Wow, I have been away quite a bit longer than I expected. O(.>o<.) I got my internet about a week ago. I should have gotten it earlier, but that's a long story.

Anywho, how have you all been?? Good I hope!! I've been doing pretty good. I've been REALLY busy, which I really like. I miss my family but they call me every weekend and we talk for hours, so I haven't gotten really homesick. I have taken a liking to my new life. I didn't really have a hard time adjusting to living alone. I really like cooking and cleaning. As for my job, I like the school I teach at. The students are great and the staff are so kind to me. In Akita, there are like 90 JETs and I've made some really great friends.

I missed saying Happy Birthday to several of my LJ friends while I was away. I will be back later on with a translation dedicated to everyone for their birthday. (.^___^.)

Last but not least, since it just hit November 3rd...

Ryoちゃん、お誕生日おめでとう!!

Good-bye for now♪

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 23:57:52 GMT

Happy be-lated birthday to Yuki and DONUT. I hope you two had a wonderful birthday♥
Happy birthday to Nancy!! I hope you have a fun birthday♥
Happy birthday to Ren-chan!! I know I'm a little early, but I'm not going to be around so I wanted to say it before I left. Thanks for being such a great friend. We'll be in the same country soon, SENPAI! (.^O^.) I hope you have a lovely birthday♥
Happy birthday to Tikal! I'm a little early, but I wanted to make sure to say it before I left because I won't be around. I hope you have a great birthday♥

This is real random but are you all watching the Olympics? I've been watching it everday. Michael Phelps is a fish or something. He can swim! Anywho, who are you all cheering for? I'm cheering for U.S.A. and Japan. (.^__^.)

I'm heading off to Japan in a couple days and I wanted to come by to say bye to everyone. I don't know when I will get my internet at my new place and I'm probably going to be busy for a while getting used to my new job and settling in. Hopefully I will not be away too long. I'll miss you guys♥ Talking with you all will probably make me feel less homesick when I'm in Japan.

Thanks for sticking with me through all the drama that went on for the past few weeks. I'm sorry that it all happened. It was unnecessary.

Take care friends and I hope to see you all when I get back. (.^___^.)

Bye-bye for now!!

One small news and one big news. (.^__^.)

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 01:53:09 GMT

Hey Friends♥

How are you all doing? I'm not doing so well, I had surgery for my wisdom teeth and have been in a lot of pain since last Thursday, but no matter. I have news to share.

Before the news, I would like to give some birthday shouts! Happy Be-lated Birthday to Eri, Uchie & Steffie-chan!! I hope you three had a most wonderful birthday with lots of fun♥ (.^___^.)

I didn't come online to say happy birthday to Shige, so I shall do it now.
シゲくん、
お誕生日おめでとう！
仕事と大学を頑張り過ぎないでね。
応援してるよ♪
デビーより

Okay, so now we get to the news. The small news first:

I quit my position as Maintainer at my buddy's kanjani8. There was way more people who supported me than those who caused trouble, but that community deserves a stronger and meaner leader. I hope they find it in the new Maintainer. (.^___^.)

The big news is... **Drum rolls**

I got a job and am heading to Japan on August 19th!! I'm not going back to Tokyo where I was raised, but I'm heading to Akita. I used to live up north for a few years and I have relatives there so it's not completely foreign to me. So yeah, I'm pretty busy right now, hence I haven't posted any translations. I'll be sure to come online again before I leave to Japan. By September, I will be posting from Japan. (.^__^.)

**HUGS**

V.West Translation

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 05:04:11 GMT

Hey Friends♥
How are you all doing? Good I hope. (.^___^.) It's very hot over here. At least it isn't humid like it was in Tokyo. (.^o^.)

I was updating the list of birthdays in my PDA and it seems that some entries in my address book mysteriously disappeared. So I am sorry if I missed any of you girl's birthdays!! It was not intentional, I promise.

Speaking of birthdays, it was Massu's birthday on the 4th of July. Happy Birthday Massu! Keep smiling, your smile lightens up my day♥

Oh and a Happy Be-lated Birthday to my two buddies: Carey-chan and Spinel-nyan. I hope you girls had a fun and wonderful birthday♥ Thanks for being such sweethearts. **HUGS**

By the way, NEWS is releasing on August 13th their new DVD: NEWS CONCERT TOUR pacific 2007 2008 -THE FIRST TOKYO DOME CONCERT- How great is that♥

At the request of moon_kaka , I have translated V.West's song So BAD! from Kanjani∞'s EXCITE! DVD.

V.WEST - So BAD!
Translation: Debbie-chan @ Livejournal

Note: I’m not exactly sure if the lyrics are correct, but these are the English words that I think they are singing. Some Japanese fans say that they are singing, “Get away a go. Get away a cry.” That didn’t make much sense to me, so I changed “a” to “and”. Also, I did not think they were singing “cry” but “try.”

いつまで待っても　何も始まらないさ
Itsumade mattemo nanimo hajimaranai sa
No matter how long we wait, nothing will begin.
ジタバタしたって　時が流れるだけ
Jitabata shitatte toki ga nagarerudake
Even if we struggle, time will just pass by.

どうにもならない ((どうにもならない)) どこへもいけない俺たち
Dounimo naranai ((dounimo naranai)) dokoemo ikenai oretachi
Hopeless and stuck,
いつか流されてた
Itsuka nagasareteta
One day we got swept away.

何もわからない ((何もわからない)) 何も見えないこのまま
Nanimo wakaranai (nanimo wakaranai)) nanimo mienai konomama
As we remain unsure and blind,
Dead end
Dead end
Dead end.
No no no no
No no no no
No no no no!

Get away and go
Get away and go
Get away and go.
Get away and try
Get away and try
Get away and try.
今が過ぎ去る前に
Ima ga sukisaru maeni
Before today passes us by.
Get away and go
Get away and go
Get away and go.
Get away and try
Get away and try
Get away and try.
そうno end
Sou no end
Yes, no end.
So fantastic
So fantastic
So fantastic.

Talk to you all later♥

Ryo and his dog Chibi

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:22:01 GMT

Hey Friends♥

Wow. I haven't posted for one month again. My little sister is on summer vacation so I've been spending time with her. By the way, has anyone watched Camp Rock? My sister is obsessed with it. I like the Jonas Brothers but I don't watch Camp Rock like 5 times a day. HA HA HA

For the last 2 weeks I was helping my parents prepare for my grandparents' 50th Wedding Anniversary. I hope when I get married I will be able to celebrate my 50th Wedding Anniversary. Anywho, we went all out with balloons and stuff. My grandparents really looked so happy and loved♥

Some birthday shouts: Sorry for being so late with these! Happy Be-lated Birthday Nessa, Nee, Camille, Yue, Rosevic and Diac!! I hope you all had a very fun and lovely Birthday!

I finished translating Ryo's January J-webs. When I was translating the two J-webs about the death of his dog, Chibi, I couldn't help but empathize with him. I'm not exactly the best owner and I also often wonder how my dog sees me through her eyes. I hope my dog knows I love her. Everytime I come home from shopping or school I call my dog's name from the door and she comes dashing and I always pet and hug her. (.^___^.) I even have a song for the two of us♥

I'm surprised at how open Ryo can be in his j-webs. He really puts himself out there for his fans. I wish I could have comforted him when he started crying after hearing the word 'dog'. I hope he is successful in becoming a ship-like-person.

Before I go and translate more J-webs and perhaps a song, WHY IS TEGOSHI BLONDE AGAIN? I was watching TegoMasu sing their new song on Music Japan and I noticed he went back to being blonde. He looks so much better with his raven-manes!!

Talk to you all later♥

Ryo's Favorite Kanjani∞ Song♥

Wed, 28 May 2008 04:23:27 GMT

Hey Friends♥

How are you all doing? Is it hot where you live?

The song I translated this time is Kanjani∞'s Heavenly Psycho. I LOVE THIS SONG♥ I never get old of it. Kanjani∞'s new songs are great, but I really love their old songs! If I remember correctly, Ryo said in the "47" DVD that this is his favorite Kanjani∞ song. Right now, this song really hits home for me because I just graduated from college and am thinking of what I want to do in life.

いつも夢に選ばれないまま陽が登り沈んでゆく日々

The sun rises and sets everyday as I never get chosen by my dreams.
そこに僕の姿がなくても世界は簡単にまわった
Soko ni boku no sugata ga nakutemo sekai ha kantan ni mawatta
Even if I was not there, the world easily went around.
でもこうして繋いだ手ひとりじゃないね
Demo koushite tsunaida te hitori jyanai ne
But with your hand in my hand, I realize I’m not alone.

胸にHeavenly Psycho 今は未来に向かう道の途中だ
Mune ni Heavenly Psycho ima wa mirai ni mukau michi no tochuu da
Heavenly Psycho in my heart. Right now I am on the path leading to my future.
泪にさえも戸惑うことなく願いを歌う
Namida ni sae mo tomadou koto naku negai wo utau
Without being taken aback by tears, I sing my wishes.

ありきたりの質問に答えて許される明日ならいらない
Arikitari no shitsumon ni kotaete yurusareru ashita nara iranai
I don’t want a tomorrow where answering conventional questions is accepted.
そう言ってはみ出してから行き着く場所に限界はなくなった
Sou itte hamdashite kara ikitsuku basho ni genkai wa nakunatta
After saying that and escaping the standard way, all the boundaries to get to my goal disappeared.
不安だってわかり合って笑ってたいね
Fuan date wakariatte warattetai ne
Don’t we want to continue sharing our worries and laugh about them?

夢にHeavenly Psycho 叫んだ声だけが空に響いた
Yume ni Heavenly Psycho sakenda koe dake ga sora ni hibiita
Heavenly Psycho on my dreams. Only my shouts echoed in the sky.
だから何回もためしてみるんだ希望の歌
Dakara nankai mo tameshitemirunda kibou no uta
That is why I will keep on trying over and over again. A song of hope.

目の前の闇をかき分けて届くまで…
Me no mae no yami wo kakiwakete todoku made
Create a path through the darkness that is in front of me until I get there …

震える思いにまた登る太陽
Furueru omoi ni mata noboru taiyou
The sun that rises again on my trembling emotions.

胸にHeavenly Psycho 今は未来に向かう道の途中だ
Mune ni Heavenly Psycho ima wa mirai ni mukau michi no tochuu da
Heavenly Psycho in my heart. Right now I am on the path leading to my future.
泪にさえも戸惑うことなく願いを歌う
Namida ni sae mo tomadou koto naku negai wo utau
Without being taken aback by tears, I sing my wishes.
夢にHeavenly Psycho 叫んだ声だけが空に響いた
Yume ni Heavenly Psycho sakenda koe dake ga sora ni hibiita
Heavenly Psycho on my dreams. Only my shouts echoed in the sky.
だから何回もためしてみるんだ希望の歌
Dakara nankai mo tameshitemirunda kibou no uta
That is why I will keep on trying over and over again. A song of hope.

I need to go work on some J-webs now. See you all later♥

My new header for this site is what I'm using as the wallpaper on my laptop. I thought it was funny to have Ryo with his laptop on my laptop. HA HA HA

I'M BACK!!!!!!!! (.^______^.)

Sun, 18 May 2008 02:04:09 GMT

HEY FRIENDS♥

How are you all doing? It's finally feeling like summer here. It's hot hot hot! (.^o^.)

I've been gone for a month or so and I have some comments I have to reply to. I will do that as soon as I finish writing this post.

I had my graduation last Sunday. It was such a long ceremony!! When I was in high school I never even thought about graduating from a private university and it's funny how things turned out. Anywho, I hope my diploma comes in the mail within this month. I do not feel like I graduated until I have my diploma in my hand.

For graduation, I got a Nintendo DS from my older sister and I am having so much fun with it. I got lots of money for graduation from my parents and grandparents so I bought some clothes, a few DS games and I'm going to go check out some laptops next week. Once I get a laptop I can translate anytime, anywhere. I have so many songs I want to translate and I really need to catch up on translating Ryo's J-webs!

All this week I've been resting. I've been sleeping a lot. It feels nice to be out of school, but I think I will get bored very quickly. I need to find a job. Hopefully JET will upgrade me!!

I have some birthdays shouts:

Happy Be-lated Birthday Lena (simplyobsessed), Sann (crimsonredd), Mun (seemun) and Misaru13!! I hope you all had a wonderful birthday full of fun and laughter!! (.^___^.)

Kちゃん、横山くん、とたっちょんへ
お誕生日おめでとう！！
3人重ねてメッセージを書いてゴメンネ。
皆を応援してます。
お体を大事にして楽しい人生を生きて下さい。
NEWSと関ジャニ∞最高♥
デビーより

Oooooh tommorrow is my buddy's birthday.
Bibiちゃんお誕生日おめでとう♥
めっちゃ好きやねん！！
I haven't had a chance to really talk to you in months and I really miss it. I hope that now that I'm out of school I can finally catch up with you and help you with OYE and stuff. I hope you have a most wonderful birthday full of love and laughter. **HUGS**

Busy as a bee...

Sat, 12 Apr 2008 22:24:44 GMT

Hey Friends♥

Oh my Eito! How are you all doing?? I haven't posted in a month! I've been so busy. I'm still iffy about whether I will be able to graduate or not.

To graduate with my math degree I have to pass all my classes, do a 20 minutes math seminar, and pass my Math Field Test. I'm pretty sure I will pass all my classes and I did my math seminar on Wednesday, so that leaves me with my test, which I'm going to take tommorrow. Wish me luck♥ **Very nervous**

Ryo's drama started this week ne? I hope he gets great responses. He said he was nervous and excited about this new role. He hopes to be so good that all of the females in Japan despise him. Good luck with that Ryo. (.^o^.)

Oh yeah, I got an answer back from the JET program. I was chosen as an alternate. I think it's probably because they first want to send all the people who qualify who have never lived in Japan. I still have a chance of going, so I hope that some people decide not to go. I do not wish on anyone that they get disqualified by not graduating on time. I'm stressed about graduating myself.

By the way, I'm so sorry this is really late but Bethany (sourangel) I hope you had a wonderful birthday!! I also hope you are having a blast in Japan♥ How long are you staying?

I was not able to come online on YamaPi's birthday.

山P、お誕生日おめでとう！！
My older sister thinks you are getting hotter every single day.
Thank you for always bringing a smile to her face.
仕事頑張って、体に気を付けて下さい。

デビー

By the way, just incase any of you didn't see it yet, I updated the Kanjani∞ Calendars. (.^___^.)

I need some help. Do any of you want to be a scanner for the community? Yao-chan and Bibi-chan are busy doing their own things, so I wanted to hire some new people to help with the community. Anyone up for it? **Puppy eyes**

Talk to you all later♥

Debbie

Ryo & Hiroki's Friendship brings a smile to my face all the time♥

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 23:04:46 GMT

Hey Friends♥

3 weeks have passed since my last post. How sad. (.T___T.) Anywho, this week supposedly was my Spring Break, but I've been doing nothing but studying and resting. I so can't wait to graduate... When I do, I think I'll just sleep for a whole day.

I missed several birthdays!!

Happy Birthday Nicky (nicky87), Dara (dontcallmeboo), Reg (ryopichi), Lena (mizuiro-0), Ronny (kea-ronny) and Hotaru (fireflyprincess)!! I hope you all had a most wonderful birthday♥ (.^___^.)

I got my new Kanjani∞ calendar. Too bad there isn't trivia and stuff to translate this time around. It came with planner fillers and I feel lucky that before I left Japan, I actually bought one of those 6-hole binders. I don't think they sell any of those around here.

I'm waiting for my NEWS calendar to arrive. It should already be here by now. **Pouts**

You know, Ryo has been giddy these days. I watched Shounen Club today, and when they were singing "Utsukushisugite Beautiful Eyes" Ryo kept on smiling and laughing. So cute♥

I haven't watched Isshun no Kaze ni Nare yet, but I got the tape yesterday, so I'll probably watch it tonight. (.^___^.)

Translation from Oricon Style Magazine 01/28/08

Thank you chuu_girl for the scans♥

I didn't translate the whole interview, just parts I really liked.

Message From Nishikido Ryo:
"This time, Uchi has been given the opportunity to return to TV, and in the form of a lead role in a special drama, and to be quite honest, I personally am extremely happy. I have overwhelming gratitude for all the people who were involved in creating this environment where I can appear along with him in the form of a cameo appearance. While giving Uchi all my support, and making sure that I grow, I would like to fully enjoy this precious time."

We've recieved a very motivated comment from Nishikido-san. What are your thoughts on this?
Uchi: I usually call him "Ryo-chan." We called each other practically everyday and e-mailed each other as well. When I would ask Ryo-chan, "What type of work did you do today?" he would reply with, "Today we did this type of thing," and we would talk about those kinds of things every single day. Even when I got this role in this drama we talked to each other, and he was so happy for me and said, "You did it." I am also very happy that I am able to work with Ryo-chan in the form of a cameo appearance.

Have you recieved any messages from group members other than Nishikido-san?
Uchi: I've been keeping in contact with everyone this whole time, and even now, we call each other. They have been cheering me up. When I got the role in this drama, I received a lot of "Congratulations" from everyone. What stands out in my mind the most is how everyone said, "I hope we can work together again."

Their friendship is so beautful!!

JET Interview

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 06:13:33 GMT

Two birthday shouts:

Areea-chan (areea-chan) Happy Be-lated Birthday!! I hope you had a very wonderful day full of fun♥ (.^___^.)

Happy Birthday Jackie (jackie22393) !! I hope you have a very fun and wonderful day♥ (.^___^.)

I wanted to post a UchiRyo translation today, but this week has been so busy I haven't finished it yet. **Pouts** I had my JET interview yesterday. Let's just say that I would be really surprised if they accept me. I can't say what they asked in the interview until they make their decision, but I just don't feel I was able to give my full appeal with the questions they asked. I hope they liked me, but I'm feeling quite unsure. But you know what? There is no sense in dwelling. If I don't get accepted, I'll just try to get certified as a translator and find a job that way. (.^___^.)

This is real random but today they aired the Shounen Club Premium with MatsuJun as the guest (TV Japan is a little late on airing Shounen Clubs). Anywho, I was still at school, so my mom was taping it for me and I was talking to her as I was coming out of vocal class and I was like, "Mama, who was in the video message? Was it Ryo-chan? MatsuJun and Ryo are really good friends." At that time, the video message didn't come on yet, so she was like, "No."

I got home, headed towards my room, and after a while I hear my mom yell, "Debbie! Ryo-chan!" My little sister also yells, "Debbie!! Ryo-chan!!" I go over to the kitchen and Ryo was in fact the one who was in the video message to MatsuJun. My mom was like, "Wow! You were right!" HA HA HA (.^___^.) I love guessing who the video messages will be from. I've gotten several of them right.

In watching Ryo's message to MatsuJun, it makes me believe even more that the Episode books have some sort of truth to them. I found out a couple years ago that Ryo and MatsuJun hangout, by reading the Episode books. What Ryo says about MatsuJun paying for everything when they go eat together is depicted in one of the Episode books. Too bad I haven't bought any recent episode books because I've been spending my money on other NEWS and Kanjani∞ things. (.T___T.)

♪なんでだろう、なんでだろう。なんでだ、なんでだろう。♪

Mon, 18 Feb 2008 06:30:10 GMT

First off, I didn't forget about Kusano's birthday!!

ノッティ、
お誕生日おめでとう！
この頃、内くんだけが話題になってるみたいに見えるけど、ファン達はみんな草野君が帰ってこれて嬉しいよ！
頑張ってね。

デビー

I was waiting unitl it was official, and now it is... Ryo will be starring in a new drama called 『ラスト・フレンド』(Last Friend) with Nagasawa Masami (Propose Daisakusen) starting April 10th. He will be playing her boyfriend who beats on her. The drama is about different problems in relationships and the problem that Masami-chan's character will be facing is her abusive boyfriend (Ryo's character).

I'm surprised that Ryo is going to do this role. Maybe he wants a change from his good-guy characters that he has been playing? Maybe he is trying to make a statement by playing this role? Honestly, I don't know if I will be watching that drama. I don't know how bad they are going to make his character, and it's going to be hard to watch him hurt someone...

亮、ごめんね。喜んで欲しいよね。でも・・・私古いのかもね。もし私がこのドラマを最後まで見れたら、亮のこと思ってるより好きなのかも・・・たぶん。

On a different note, I finally got my Kanjani∞ Photobook. It is so AMUSING♥

I need to go back to studying. See you all later. (.^___^.)

ＥＤＩＴ： Since I needed to study, I wrote this post quickly and forgot to write an ouen
message for Ryo on his new role. **Silly**

おめでとう☺
亮、新しい役頑張ってね。You're an excellent actor and I'm sure you will do a great job.

weeeek♥

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 01:36:19 GMT

Hey Friends♥

First and foremost, some birthday shouts:

Tarta (lovebum4life), Iso (this-is-cd), Aki-chan (yelloweito), Mirabella (marinamirabella) and Rei (rei-desu), Happy Be-lated Birthday!! So many birthdays in February!! (.^___^.) I hope you all had a fun and wonderful birthday♥

BluFox (blufox-o7) Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a fantastic birthday!! (.^___^.)

Secondly:
I’m finally back with a NEWS translation!! The first NEWS translation I start off with this year is NEWS’s “weeeek” because it gives me so much energy when I’m physically and mentally exhausted. It’s a song that cheers on everyone who is working hard, and I think NEWS would want all their fans to get their message. I can really relate to the part in the song where they say, “Everyday getting 4 hours of sleep…” Right now I’m getting a pretty good amount of sleep, but for most of my college life (even high school life) I averaged about 4-6 hours of sleep. HA HA HA That’s not a laughing matter ne? **Blushes**

I have something really cute planned for Valentine’s Day that Kanjani∞ fans will hopefully really enjoy. I’ll try to find some time to come online tomorrow.

Worst Weather in 12 Years... On the plus side NEWS is releasing a new single Feb.27th♥

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 02:19:52 GMT

Hey Friends,

How has your week been? I've had an interesting week full of snow. Supposedly, this week in Spokane, we had the worst weather in 12 years. My little sister's school was closed all week!! Gonzaga University was like one of the only schools that decided to stay open for as long as possible. We finally got a Snow Day on Thrusday. If I had gotten all week off, I could have translated my pile of Ryo's J-webs and posted my NEWS translation. Oh well, I will somehow fit that into my schedule.

Anywho a few birthday shouts:

Happy Be-lated Birthday Valy-chan (valicch)!! (.^___^.) I hope you had a great one!!

Happy Be-lated Birthday Lawi (lawi-chan)!! (.^___^.) I hope you had a fun one!!

Happy Be-lated Birthday Naru (ryopi-fansu)!! (.^___^.) I hope you had a lovely one!!

Happy Birthday to Hina:
村上君、
お誕生日おめでとうございます。
今年も村上君のツッコミを楽しみにしています。
お体を大事にして下さい。

デビー

Last but definitely not the least, Happy Birthday my Dearest Paapuru-chan!! It's still Feb. 1st over here, so I hope I'm not late. **HUGS** I hope you have a most wonderful birthday. (.^_____^.) May we stay friends forever♥

Kanjani∞ Calendars have been updated. I'll be back with something NEWS. (.^o^.)

Sneaking in the last day of Japan's New Year...

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 04:48:28 GMT

Happy 200∞!!!!!!!! May you all have a most wonderful year★☆

Thank goodness Japan's New Years lasts until January 15th, so I do not feel so dumb for popping in so late to wish everyone a Happy New Year♥

I was going to make a big post with a NEWS translation, but that did not work out. The reason I could not come online for so long is because I hurt my hand. Yeah, I had my hand wrapped and everything. I could not use my hand for the past 2 weeks. What a way to start off the new year. HA HA HA Thank goodnesss my hand healed before school started. You girls do not want to know how I hurt my hand, trust me, I get hurt in the strangest ways. Did I mention that I was accident prone?? HA HA HA I probably should not be laughing about that.

Anywho, thank you everyone for the birthday wishes back in December♥ I had a lovely birthday, I am now 22. (.^___^.) I do not really feel any older. HA HA HA

Ryo-chan and Hiroki-kun are in a drama together again!! 『一瞬の風になれ』(Isshun no Kaze ni Nare). (.^____^.) ~~Johnny's net is really confusing me though. At one part of the site, they say Hiroki-kun is an extra (in January), but then~~ here, it says he is the lead and Ryo plays a friend in February. Since this year is 200∞, I feel like it is going to be so magical, and it seems to be looking like it. **Jumps around** Anywho, the drama airs four nights in a row Feb. 25-28. I need to ask my mom's friend in Japan to tape it.

I read in the news that Ryo went to eat ramen with Hiroki-kun recently and he said Hiroki-kun was doing good. (.^___^.) Oh and I also read that during his suspension, Hiroki-kun received a letter from Ryo which made him cry. Awww~ Ryo&Hiroki's friendship is so beautiful.

Edit: I think by "extra" they were actually saying that fans can be extras for the drama...

Still in Christmas Mood♪

Fri, 28 Dec 2007 09:50:51 GMT

Hey Friends, I hope you all had a very lovely Christmas!! (.^___^.) I had a pretty busy one, hence I did not have time to post my present until now. I'm still working on something for NEWS fans so stay tuned.

Before the translation, I want to say Happy Birthday to yuka_in_wonder!! I hope you had a fun one! Your birthday is the day after Christmas, wow!

I still have to read and reply to comments from my previous post, and I will do that when I come back online. Right now it is almost 2AM over here. HA HA HA

I hope you all enjoy this Tacchon Episode! It sort of connects to the Maru Episode I translated before. The one where Uchi-kun followed Maru. (.^o^.)

This episode is from 2006.

From 『お～きにっ！関ジャニ∞』-『消えた男？を追え』(Follow the Disappearing Guy?)

*Lately, during recesses…*

Hina: Huh!? Where did he go?

*… Ohkura-kun would suddenly disappear.*

Hina: I wonder if he is okay? He is not familiar with this place.

*Sure, if it were Shibuya and Harajuku, but Ohkura-kun has been disappearing at places where he probably does not go to during his private time. Places such as Nihonbashi and Asakusa, Minami Aoyama and Marunouchi.*

Hina: OHKURA WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!!

Tacchon: Sorry…

*Murakami-kun always gets upset. (Laughs)*

Hina: The thing is, he always comes back in exactly 10 minutes, which is the big mystery!

*Murakami-kun really does look puzzled.*

Hina: But I'm worried… It's during times when were taping in a city we're unfamiliar with…

*Worrying all the time is overwhelming.*

Hina: It is so mysterious! Maybe he is endowed with "animal instincts".

*However, Murakami-kun who is laughing now, could not help but jump back in surprise when he found out the "secret".*

~Part 2: Ohkura-kun's Mysterious Actions~

Hina: Ryo he is going to disappear pretty soon!

Ryo-chan: Okay.

*For the tapping of "Suka☆J Ichiban Boshi", Murakami-kun, Nishikido-kun and Ohkura-kun came to a certain place. Just as the director shouted, "Okay, 15 minutes recess," Murakami-kun and Nishikido-kun gave each other the signal with their eyes. The two of them quietly followed Ohkura-kun, who like a ninja, disappeared without a word.*

Ryo-chan:I wonder where he is going?

*In front of them, Ohkura-kun continues to walk, but he does not seem to be walking to any specific place.*

Hina: Who knows… At any rate, whether it be Maru or Ohkura, we sure have lots of idiots.

*Come to think of it, there was a time when Maru would disappear. (Laughs)*

Debbie's note: In case you have not read it, or don't remember it, here is the link to my translation of that episode.

*Ohkura-kun suddenly stops and looks around.

Ryo and Hina: Huh!?

*Ohkura-kun pulls out his mobile phone and…*

((SNAP))

*He takes a picture with his mobile phone of the perfectly ordinary city scenery.*

Hina: He has a strange hobby.

Ryo-chan: Tell me about it…

*Ohkura-kun's actions are so peculiar, the two who are watching him are feeling a bit embarrassed. Additionally…*

Ryo-chan: Oh!

*A future that would leave them both speechless was waiting for them.*

~Part 3: Ohkura-kun's "Shocking Truth" that Murakami-kun and Nishikido-kun witnessed!!~

Ryo-chan: (Shocked) Murakami-kun!! Did you just see that!

Hina: See what?

*Same as usual, Ohkura-kun was continuing his actions of walking a bit, stopping and looking around, then walking again. However, within that, Nishikido-kun recognized a very tiny change.*

Ryo-chan: Over here! Over here!

Hina: What is it!?

*Nishikido-kun pulled Murakami-kun to the area that Ohkura-kun had stopped at.*

Ryo-chan: LOOK AT THIS!

*Desperately, he was pointing at the road. On the road was a scrap of paper. What lie there on the floor was what appeared to be a piece of paper ripped from something.*

Ryo-chan: Take a real close look!

*Picking it up and opening it up, they saw…*

Hina: … Oh!! It's a piece from his script!

*Yes, it was a piece ripped from the script they were using for their current job.*

Ryo-chan: He put this thing here just now.

Hina: Put?

Ryo-chan: Yes. It probably is marker, for his way back.

*The reason Ohkura-kun was looking around his surroundings was to memorize it, and perhaps he was dropping pieces from his script on the road as a precaution.*

Ryo-chan: (Coming to a realization) If you walk exactly 5 minutes and go back the same road, that is 10 minutes! That was his calculation.

*Murakami-kun had no choice but to stand stunned at this "shocking truth".*

Hina: Man… that Ohkura!

*The two of them looked at each other and wagged their head.*

Hina: Who is he, "Tyltyl and Mytyl"?

*I think you mean "Hansel and Gretel"! (Uneasy laugh).*

Oh yeah, I watched the Shounen Club Christmas Special. Ryo-chan's message was so cute and funny. He basically said, "I hope you all have really great dreams on Christmas night. I on the other hand will be dreaming about you all."

Oh my Eito! It's almost Christmas!!

Hey Friends♥

How are you all? I hope none of you are sick, I remember last year my whole family except me was sick around this time of year. Unfortunately, I ended up getting sick the day before my birthday though. (.T___T.) This year, on the contrary, it's looking good. None of us are sick. (.^____^.)

Anywho, I've been on my winter break for a week now, but until I figured out about my grades, I felt guilty about coming online. Thank you everyone who wished me luck on my exams♥ I passed all 8 of my classes!! *Jumps around** I'm one step closer to graduating. Eight more classes and a Math Field Test left until I graduate. **A bit uneasy**

By the way, Joy (joyjoy99), sorry for my late birthday wishes!! Happy Birthday!! I hope you had a really wonderful one!! (.^___^.)

I finally updated the past 8 weeks of calendar translations. Yay♥

Like every year, I have been thinking about posting something for Christmas, but I'm running out of time... My goal is to get a translation for the NEWS fans up on Christmas Eve, and a translation for the Kanjani∞ fans up on Christmas. Or the other way around. And for the Ryo fans, well, both translation will have Ryo in it so it should suffice. (.^_~.) So, I'll get started on those. I will be back.

Ryo looks so happy these days♥

First off, some late Birthday Shouts!

Morty (mysterieux999)Karu-chan (karuchan_desu), Inzaliaa (miljnte ) and Nasime emi_no_nasime) HAPPY BIRTHDAY☺ I hope your days are full of lots of happiness. (.^___^.)

Message to Maru:
Maruyama-kun,

Happy Birthday!!
I hope you had a very fun and lovely birthday. (.^___^.)
You're so random, funny and innocent, I hope you never change!
Take care of your health and keep smiling!

Debbie

I have final exams next week, so a little while longer and I'll be more active on LJ. (.^o^.)

I updated some of Ryo's J-webs. He is so poetic these days and random. Absoute cuteness♥ **Squishes** I watched the recent Shounen Club today. Oh my Eito, Ryo couldn't stop smiling! It was so cute. He was so giddy and happy the whole time (Well, of course other than when he performed "code"). He said he was so happy he got to make a new NEWS album after so long. He wasn't half-listening when K-chan and Nakamaru were talking to him because he was so flattered by the fans' screaming.

Currently working on updating Kanjani∞ Calendars.

This is really random but... I'm so glad I have a hits counter now. (.^0^.) When I first started this site, I used to be convinced that not many people visited my site because of the number of comments I get, and I would consider closing this site. I figured if people don't enjoy my translations, I don't really have a purpose to translate. The translations are for the fans, not me. (.^__^.) If I stop translating, this site would become just a "I LOVE NEWS & Kanjani∞, Especially Ryo-chan" site. HA HA HA But I now know that people just don't have anything to say, or don't like commenting. So I shall continue translating. Thanks for enjoying my site!

See you all later♥

Happy Thanksgiving!!

First off, here is the Tegoshi translation that I wanted to post on his birthday♥

Message to Tegoshi:
祐也くん、お誕生日おめでとう。
メッセージ遅くなってごめんね♥
ますますカッコよくなっちゃって・・・
でもまだ可愛さが沢山あって・・・
あなたの笑顔を見るたびに私も微笑んじゃう。
頑張ってね、大学も、仕事も。
お体を大事に♥

I forgot to post a happy birthday to my buddy, Yuu-nyan (yuuhi_suushi) in my last post!! Gomen ne!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I hope you had a very wonderful birthday. I hope we stay friends for years to come! **HUGS**

Last but not least, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! I have so many things I'm thankful for♥ I am truly thankful for my life and all the wonderful people in it. I am thankful for my family, who loves me unconditionally. They are my number one fan in anything I do, and I am their number one fan. I LOVE YOU Mama-chan, Daddy, Jenpi and Jackie♥ I feel like I can get through anything with all of you by my side. I am thankful for my pets, Nikki (dog), Bu (hamster), and Pratt (hamster). You three are just too adorable!! I can't help but gush over all of you everyday. I am thankful for my friends, including the ones I've made here in LJ. I'm blessed to have so many caring, funny, and warm-hearted friends. **HUGS** I am thankful for NEWS and Kanjani∞ as well. They have brought much laughter and smiles. My life is not full of 24-7 happiness, but I wouldn't want to replace my life with anyone else's. All the sad and horrible events that occur, or have occured in my life, makes me stronger and makes me realize even more, how lucky I am.

I must go eat some pumpkin pie with lots of whipped cream on it!

P.S. Kanjani∞ calendars will be update probably tommorrow.

Just in case I don't come online tommorrow...

I hope your days are full of happiness. **HUGS**
クリスマスに手紙送るね♥

Almost Thanksgiving break!! (.^o^.)

Hey Friends♥

I am still around♪ Studies have kept me away from the LJ world. (.T___T.) I have a 5 day weekend coming up, so I hope I will have time to update Ryo's j-webs, update the Kanjani∞ calendars, and translate some NEWS songs. (.^___^.)

Murasaki (chibi_news), I didn't forget about your birthday! I'm sorry I didn't come online sooner, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! I hope you had a wonderful birthday, and your days are full of happiness (And NEWS♥)!!

Lily (lilyhong), I know I'm late, but Happy Birthday!!!!!!!! I hope you had a wonderful birthday! (.^____^.) I hope your days are full of lots of joy!!

Oh, and of course I did not forget about Tegoshi's birthday. I constantly told my family members that it was Tegoshi's birthday, my sisters were amused, but I think my mom was thinking, "There she goes again. Her face is going to hurt from smiling." HA HA HA Anywho, I just didn't have time to come online, so I will come back to post Tegoshi's postcard translation, like I do with all the other NEWS members♥

By the way, my NEWS singles and albums came last Friday!! THE ALBUM IS FANTASTIC AND SO IS THE SINGLE!!

I want to translate NEWS's "weeeek." It has become another theme song of mine. TEPPEN is my theme song for life and dreams, Cherish is my theme song for love, and now, weeeek is my theme song for... school and work life??(.^o^.)

One more thing before I go to class...

I jumped when I heard NEWS's Alibi for the first time! I couldn't believe my ears when I heard Tegoshi's name in it, and then I noticed Massu's name is in it too! I don't know who wrote the song (I don't have my CD with me, but I think it said H.U.B.?), but if it isn't Koyama and Shige who wrote the song, I think the song was written by someone who really likes NEWS. The song makes me laugh. I definitely want to translate it.

Happy Birthday Ryo♥

I usually like to post right when it hits November 3rd in Japan, but this year I couldn't. I'm still sick. I planned to do a post full of Ryo translations, but to no avail. Well, this site is like "Ryo Day" every day, so I guess it is not too big of a deal. (.^___^.)

It hit November 3rd here, and it is still November 3rd in Japan, so I made it♥

Message to Ryo:

亮、お誕生日おめでとう。
23歳になりましたね。
ますます男前になっちゃって・・・
黒い髪が一番素敵ですよ♥
22歳の年はやりたい事全部できましたか。
幸せでしたか。
23歳の年も沢山幸せがあなたに訪れるのを祈ってます。
頑張ってね。お大事に。

I just finished posting the Kanjani∞ Calendar translation for this week. Ryo compares himself to a rose.

Goodnight♥

Quick post. (.^___^.)

Hey Friends♥

These past 3 weeks have been so busy and had much to deal with. I'm not the only one who is having a a lot on their plate. Most of my buddies is on hiatus. I miss them, but I wish them all the luck in whatever it is they are doing. (.^____^.) Ganbare minna!!

Kanjani∞ Calendars have been update! Ryo looks so cute with kids♥

I got really behind on translating Ryo-chan's j-webs so I have skipped ahead to the October entries. **Embarassed**

I met a bunch of nursing students from Osaka again. I wasn't able to be an interpreter this year because of my schedule, but I was able to attend the little Halloween Party my University was hosting for them.

In my next post I'll talk about the Kanjani∞ comics (I just bought them this week) and the Kuitan SP (I just watched it last weekend).

Take care,

Jyaa ne♥

P.S. It seems I have messages in my inbox. I will reply to them as soon as possible. I'm not ignoring anyone. (.^___^.)
