Ninomiya: Today our new single "Dear Snow" goes on sale! So we're going to do a round-table discussion about what you can look forward to with it!

Sakurai: The first time I heard this song, I knew it was a good one. Recently we've had a lot of bright, fast tempo songs, so I think this song is one that will really stick with you.


Aiba: For sure! The lyrics also really flow!

Matsumoto: It is a little different than all the songs that we've sung up until now, huh. And, we really don't have many winter songs.

Ninomiya: And this time the word "snow" is even in it

Matsumoto: I do like having a new outlook on the world that just screams "winter"! And the song is the theme song to "Ohoku" (in theaters now) so I was really curious as to when they would use it. And there's a section of the lyrics that seem self-sacrificial...

Sakurai: Is it a movie about sacrifice?

Ninomiya: No! It is not! (laugh)

Matsumoto: A love story, then?


Ninomiya: Well, if you were to say that, I guess it's not incorrect. It's just something that you can look forward to in the gender reversal world of "Ohoku"! I watched the movie in it's entirety, and when Arashi's song started coming on it was great because it really pulled on my heart strings!

Aiba: And I like the CD cover picture! Leader's outfit is cool!


Ninomiya: What's it like?

Sakurai: A stylish tatami room child!

Arashi: lawl

Ohno: So it was fresh?

Aiba: Yea! You were really a stylish leader. I'd love it if people paid attention to even those details.

Matsumoto: And in the first press limited edition, aside from the music video there's also a making photo version too!

Aiba: That's a first for us, isn't it. Like while the song is playing, the pictures are floating around there too.

Sakurai: There was also that rare Ohno-san and Ninomiya-san confrontation scene too! (laugh)

Ninomiya: That's only in the picture version!

Ohno: Ohh! That thing we did in the middle...

Matsumoto: That was the best part of it, that picture (laugh)

Ohno: Look forward to it! ...or something (laugh) But, the filming for the music video was... hot.

Matsumoto: It's because we were in a winter setting during summer (laugh)

Aiba: But the finished product is right on the mark! The difference between the traditional Japanese style and the stylishness is really interesting.

Ninomiya: It's really ritzy (laugh)

Matsumoto: Of course the thing to listen for is Nino's singing voice!

Sakurai: That's right. And it makes me wonder what kind of movie "Ohoku" is.

Aiba: I have to go watch the movie, and quick!

Sakurai: Truly, from my standpoint, I'd really like you to enjoy the movie along with our song!

Arashi: Huh?

Ninomiya: "My standpoint"...?

Sakurai: I mean the exact same standpoint as Nino (laugh)

Ninomiya: Thank you! Well~ it's good to be seasonal, though. I feel like you can really carefully listen to it.

Ohno: It's like autumn!

Matsumoto: Er--autumn? It's a winter song...

Ohno: There's some kind of a feeling of stability to it

Aiba: Well then~ It's a collection of autumn and winter. (laugh) It's truly a song that will leave a lasting impression on you, so we'd like you to really listen to it!


And, so that I don't clutter up my friends f-lists, I'll be posting this week's Arashi vlog. Also, I'm kind of ridonkulously hyper in this video:

I've somehow gotten into this habit with my body where I'll wake up 5 minutes before my alarm goes off (sometimes an hour before as well, but then go back to sleep), with this horrible feeling that I've slept through my alarm and it is now 1pm or something.

But that's 98% of the time not the case ;;

I am totally gif'ing the crap out of the Love Rainbow making of when I get the chance heartyeyes (i.e. as soon as possible)

I had a wonderful weekend/labor day vacation. I had basically a week off from work *GASP!* and Lotion and I had planned a lot of fun stuff (and I ate way too much)

Fun weekend in bullet form! In which I took absolutely no pictures 8D )

shirt And here where are with clothes! I got 5 shirts for $30... Which... I think is a really good deal

Pictures of the haul! :D )

pencil Up next! I decided to randomly do some more J-web translations... these ones are the Nino UraArashi, and Jun's birthday J-web message. I'll get right to it, so here you go!

tv With that out of the way, here's a vlog!



cup QUESTION TO YOU ALL: I was sitting around thinking about this recently... when Anime finally started getting more and more popular, and Anime conventions were starting to get more popular, they invited people who were prominent in the industry or contributed things that were a big influence on the industry itself to be guests and talk about things etc.

I was wondering if there was a Johnny's convention (which would be awesome if there was lol) who do you guys think would be invited? I was just curious and was thinking about it the other day... ;; I think that Becky from [livejournal.com profile] taijiprojectsub would definitely be invited, but.. I dunno who else What do you guys think?

heart1 Okay that's it for the long ass entry. I think I will give internet cookies to anyone who actually read the entire thing
eggchan: (J-Pop//Arashi - Nino)
I know I haven't really posted much lately, but I've been really looking forward to this week. There's so many events that somehow ended up 重ねるing on the same week... but hey I'm not complaining.

Aside from work on Monday and Wednesday (boo), I'm looking forward to an e-mail from the CultureLink program to give me a Japanese partner on Monday, I'm going to a Hanson concert with [livejournal.com profile] mystical_mayhem on Tuesday, possibly a Scott Pilgrim party on Thurs, International Day with [livejournal.com profile] hidekodahlia and meeting up with [livejournal.com profile] katzichan , [livejournal.com profile] zelflame , and [livejournal.com profile] zonbiushi to flail around Japan camp and scream Arashi things and dance and and and etc etc etc on Friday, and then Obon festival + Arashi fanmeet + seeing tons of old friends + FINALLY HAVING ANOTHER EXCUSE TO WEAR MY YUKATA and take my Ohno uchiwa and just ahjkdgha;gd!! on Sunday SO MUCH STUFF AAAAHHHH

(ALSO I HEAR THAT THE BALLOT RESULTS FOR TOKYO DOME ARE COMING OUT SUNDAY JAPAN TIME SO LIKE SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING WHAT IS THIS MY LIFE)

erm... yeah. So that's that. Now I'm going to translate some more stuff thumbsup (aside from the fact that I am literally jumping around on the walls, there also happen to be some shitty stuff going on in my life right now but I've chosen to not even try to think about it for now--but I will probably be mentioning it at some point because augh things need to come out sooner or later redarrow2 yeah, try to read THAT)

Okay for real now. Right before I go to sleep... it's j-web tiemz~ catface

And just to save space and the hassle of posting again, here is this week's vlog ^^

eggchan: (J-Pop//Arashi - Ohno Eyepatch (Pirate Te)
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

Our adventure which might be a long story~ )

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

Mmm... sort of random post, but I wanted to do a quick little translation of something.. and I know that people have translated these already, but... not to sound mean or anything, but the translations that I found were very... wrong sweat

So.. I bring you Sho's now infamous 'Pervert Pianist' entry, and the J-web entries from the other members for 'To Be Free'! hehehehe

I hope that even though there are already translations of these, it is a little easier to understand, and much more natural sounding. pencil (よーしガンバリマス!!)

T/N!!: The word 約束 (yakusoku) means 'promise', but in Japanese can also mean something similar to plans made with your friends/family. For example, if someone asks you if you want to go out to eat but you already have plans, you could reply something to the extent of "ごめんね、約束があるよ" (Gomen ne, yakusoku ga aru yo "I'm sorry, I already have plans") So please keep this in mind while reading this as the interview spans many different ways to interpret the word "promise" in Japanese.

NOTE: In my last couple translations, in Ohno's he mentioned getting colored pencils, and some people corrected me and told me it was Ogura-san that gave him those.. oops! Also, in Nino's translation, he mentioned the Gantz movie, and through my own personal error, he did not in fact say the shooting was almost done, but that it was almost starting. Sorry for those errors!

Right now I'm not sure how I feel about snowflakes though, because we are supposed to get a record 16 inches of snow overnight. STOOOOOOOOOP.. pleeeaseee

Anyway, guess what day it is? It's CHRISTMAS AIBA'S BIRTHDAY 8D. And to celebrate, I bring you... Nino? ;;

err yeah. well... I saw this clip this morning while at work, and thought it was so cute that I had to sub it! Nino is such a freaking stinker, I swear. I tried putting a watermark in this one, but it really didn't like me and so I gave up in the end

Okay I realize that I haven't really been posting in here as a person journal as of late. I just find that doing these translations gives me something to do -- something useful.. Sorry to my f-list in advance

Lotion and I made a vegetarian version of katsudon today. We kind of just made it up as we went, but it turned out pretty good! *high fives self* Honestly, I was watching MMA recently, and Ohno and Aiba had a don battle. Ohno made oyakodon and Aiba made katsudon. Looking at it made me so hungry for it... so that's where that came from

Well, anyway.. I bring Ohno's part of the Potato interview I've been working on.

I'm not sure if this has been subbed yet, but I thought I'd give it a shot. The short news clips are good practice for me, and at the moment I don't have the time to do whole episodes of anything, sorry!

Now I need to figure out why whenever I encode anything it comes out in really bad quality
