omffggggg how did the album get leaked already, you guys!?? But -- I'M NOT COMPLAINING 8DDDsparkles

At the same time, they picked a really inopportune time for the album to get leaked Today TJ and I planned a small date for our 6 year anniversary. We did a picnic and then went to check out the horse races at the local race track. We made these cold sandwiches that were really quite good with lots of basil and garlic and olive oil and baguettes and tomatoes and just yummm melody

We also made a pasta salad and we bought a potato salad because that was getting to be a lot of food makingz. So we headed off to the park, and found a really nice little gazebo and it was really pleasant until a giant Hindi family decided that they were going to have a family photo shoot there with an obnoxiously loud camera lady. She kept yelling like, "Look at the camera! NO THE CAMERA!! SMILE GRANDMA!! SMILE! WHY AREN'T YOU SMILING--NO, DON'T LOOK AT HER MARIE, LOOK AT THE CAMERA"

I probably wouldn't have minded if she wasn't so damn loud and just kept making noises and shit.

Well anyway, after that we went over to the races and we got there in time to see 3 races. We bet on 5 different horses, and only won one of them.. ; The last race, and we won $2.20 which essentially means that we lost $7.80 lightbulb hurrr lol but it was an interesting experience at least, and next week they're racing ostriches and camels... I think we're gonna try to get over there and see it because they've been having free admission this season thumbsup

OKAY SO TO TALK ABOUT THE ALBUM.

I LOVE ALMOST EVERY SINGLE TRACK EVEN THOUGH MATSUJUN'S VOICE IS AUTO-TUNED AND I THINK MADA UE WO IS LIKE GOING TO BE ON REPEAT FOREVERRRRR arrowuparrowuparrowup

As for the SOLOs, I love Nino's, Sho's, and Jun's, and I've only listened to Aiba's once but it's not what I was expecting sadly :( I'm going to give it some more listens before I make any judgment... BUT I will say that Ohno's solo seriously sounds like every single other solo he's done and... I am just not impressed ._.;;

BUT OTHER THAN THAT HOLY CRAP THIS IS A GREEEEEAAATTTT ALBUM sparklessparklessparkles

So many of their songs remind me of their old songs -- the ones that were like all 60's-70's inspired. And I keep imagining them in CONCERT FORMAT which is like the COOLEST thing ever and it is making me even more excited and nervous about the ballot results

In other news, I saw these posted up on AnJ and so I wanted to translate them catface I've been wanting to translate a magazine article lately but I think these j-webs are a good quick length that I can get my translation itches out into. So, without further ado here we go! leftarrow2

Please DO NOT take this out of my journal without my permission
My notes are in italic
Original Japanese: anj

Boku no Miteiru Fuukei - Sho's Message:

Hello.
It's summer.

It's Sakurai.

Finally, Arashi's new original album in 2 years has dropped.

There are a LOT of new songs from this.

Cool songs, warm songs, songs to get pumped to... etc.

I'd be happiest if you find one song to your liking.

Personally...

I wrote a few rap lyrics.
And then, there was something that I realized at age 28.
Me.

I live my life like the type of person who does all their summer homework at the last minute.

If there's no deadline, I don't do anything.

If I'm not in a hurry, my writing doesn't progress.

All you little ones out there.

Whatever you do, please don't turn into an adult like me.

Well...
Even so, there were 3 or 4 times where we kept re-recording, so we've got a finished piece that we're satisfied with so please look forward to it.

It's 20 songs in all.

Thank you very much!
Sakurai Sho


Too late, Sho. As I was translating this all I could think was "HOLY CRAP YOU AND I ARE TOO SIMILAR."

Jun - J-Web

『It's here, it's here!』


It's me, Matsumoto Jun, who plays Taiga melody
Are you watching the drama "Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku"?
Thank you!!hehehehe

Next up is the 3rd episode.
It feels like it's breaking into a full-fledged love storysparkles

I hope that you can be excited for it thumbsup
Gimme a kyun kyunhehehehe (Kyun is like the feeling of your chest tightening during romantic movies and such. It was so much cuter as "kyun" so I decided to keep it)

This week the concert rehearsals have started

I keep feeling like I can't believe it's already started~
Summer is always different...
If we were going with the usual, it's usually comprised of not really feeling summer-y, and going back and forth between the rehearsal room and my house, but...
This year I'm shooting for the drama, so I'm breathing fresh air, and feeling summer.lightbulb
The choreography and business meetings we haven't had in a while have become pretty deep thumbsup
We're dancing this year too~
Look forward to it sparkles

Next week, the album is coming out so listen to it and guess what you think it'll be like sparkles

Different than any other year, I want to sparkle rainbow color from a deep love hearts

Or something like that


Well then, everyone else please look forward to summer too~sparkles

First of all, thank you very much for translating this! I feel so happy and satisfied that I finally got to understand these Japanese messages. hahahaha. :))
Regarding Sho's message, I'M DEFINITELY THE SAME AS HIM. I am a last minute person too and I really hate it since I have to rush everything. Well, what can I say, ideas just flow into my head when I'm pressured. hahaha.

Regarding Jun's message, I just want to wish them good luck with rehearsals and filmings... :D

I also like almost all the songs (I have to get used to those that weren't in preview).
I liked the Solo very much! Nino's was fantastic (lyric and voice), also Jun's.... it was really... unexpected! I really liked it (I had a shower with that song in the background and I thought " Ah I'm so cool" XD).
I admit that my first impression of Aiba and Ohno's song was like yours: Ohno always has the same kind of song... and Aiba...what's this?! XD Then a friend of mine told me that she liked a lot these two songs (and she hates Aiba!) so I had to listen them again... and well, I like Aiba's rhytme (but I omit his "yeah" that makes me burst out laughing) and reminds me of a children's song°_° And Ohno's well...now I really like it XD especially his voice in the chrous.

Anyway all the songs remind me of...Perfume°_° is it possible?XD

For Sho's message ... *raises hand* if I haven't a deadline...I don't do anything...U_U"

That anniversary date seemed quite enjoyable. ^___^

Ostrich and camels. What the.. EEH? xD

Am liking the album more at each listen. Aiba's solo takes... time. (T_T) Also have to agree on Ohno's.

Anyhow. THANK YOU for the J-Web translations. ^^

Yeah it was a fun little outing.. and was most of the day -- we haven't had a whole day to ourselves for a while.

I took a listen to Aiba's solo again last night with headphones, and I liked it quite a bit more.. but his little 'Yeaah' makes me laugh every time I hear it

Date: 2010-08-01 04:27 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] soothing-sight.livejournal.com
His "yeah" confuses me. Sounds too much like a woman. xD

Am too liking it a bit more. It'll be perfect for when I go to the gym, demo... I wanted an Itsuka no Summer feeling. There isn't much... musicality to this one.

I want brass with his voice! -_-

Have a whole day to yourself... Hum. From my experience with my ex-boyfriend, living together resulted in a major drop in quality time together. Please be careful, the both of you. ^^ Though, six years. I don't think you share any piece of advice from me. ;)

Oh... while I was reading Sho's post I was thinking: "This kind of comes late... but I am glad we are similar" hahahaaha!!!. Isn't it nice to have things in common with them?!
Jun post is cute. I am glad he is back to his concert duties, he sure loves them.
Thank you for the translations!

The new album is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! It really made my heart go kyun kyun!
Ohno's solo is... I have no words to express his solo.
I think this is my favorite album so far!

Konichiwa,
Long time not seeing your post in arashi on ^ ^

Album. Yes, got a mental shock when I saw it in anj. My sister said, certain countries got their online order fast than others (don't sure about this), that's the case with single too. But, we're not complaining, deshou XDDD.

Love everyone's solos. Though I agree with you on Ohchan's. His is one of the best song in the album, but really just a repeat of his other previous solos. And I can somewhat imagine his choreo to be almost the exact same atmosphere with previous solos too > <.

What I'm really curious is Nino's solo choreo for concert. I would really like to see him active, dancing all around. Aiba's...can see him running around already XDDD. Sho-kun, would definitely be surround with dancers ^ ^. Jun's...aaahhh typical Jun's solos ne, glamour n parading XDD.

I'm really focussing on Album here XDD. But, let's put a bit here. My fave in Album (not solo) is Refrain. Yours?

Read your translation ^^ . Always , superb ne ^ ^

Am always meaning to add/join you. But, I read that you don't add people anymore. > <

and, happy anniversary (sorry, I'm late XD)
I'm like Sho too.... T___T I need to be pressured or else I'll just be fooling around doing nothing T_T

and about the album I've to say this: I agree with you about mada ue wo, it's been on repeat since I got the album... It's awesome *____* Best track, for me :D
But... my fav solo is Aiba's one! When I was listening to it I couldn't stop smiling and imagining him dance :D It's lovely! Ohno's... yeah... bit disappointed BUT his voice always makes me change my mind a bit XDDD

Have a nice week^^!

thank you for the anniversary wishes :) My boyfriend and I really appreciate each and every one of them.

As for Aiba's solo, the next couple times I listened to it I could totally imagine him jumping around and dancing and having so much fun while singing this song... so I'm excited to see it in concert ^^

Thank you so much for translating. ^_^ I'm also like Sho. I always cram :( Ganbatte Jun. Do your best on your drama and advance happy birthday ^__^ I'm expecting another spectacular concert. Hope I can see it live but sadly I can't. Someday maybe.

I also like Sho's and Nino's solo. At first I don't like Matsujun's solo since I'm expecting a Naked-like song. But then as I listen again and again, I think I like it now more than Nino's solo. I also think that Ohno's solo sounds the same in his previous solo but I like his voice so I don't mind ^__^ I like Aiba's solo the least. *sad*

As for the other songs, I really really like Circus. Every time I hear it, I remember Fame movie. I also like kagerô, Summer Splash!, Refrain, Gift, and Mukae ni Iku yo ^^

I so wish that the ratings for Natsuniji would be higher. I do understand that it's not as phenomenal as expected but I still think the current ratings are a bit unfair to Jun, esp for a Getsu9. :( I'm still hopeful that it'd get better though. Jun-kun, ganbatte!
