The three months of holidays I've been just waiting to be over is painfully long. 

Just one thing I'll have to confess (not like anyone's gonna find out anytime soon, unless I tell them personally).  There was a guy I had a crush on for over a year, and although I never really talked to him before, I always wondered what made me like him.
Maybe I shouldn't of, since now I have a proper bf who is really kinda like my perfect guy, but I've looked up my past crush's blogs, sites, etc.  Maybe I knew it before, but now I realise it more now.  He was a sensitive, emotional guy who just wants to feel....well, wanted.  And that's what I wanted as well.  And simply reading this in what he writes, and pictures he puts up, anyone would understand this and the type of person he's like.
Everyone wants to feel like they're wanted.  Maybe more so for me, just coz I'm a selfish, attention seeking person and I hope that doesn't drive my bf away. 

Now to wait for another... one week and 3 days before I'll be back at uni - what I've been waiting for all holidays.  Hopefully never again.

私は普通の女の子じゃない。
それをよく分かってる。
どんなに願っても、
ずっと前から欲しかったのに、
普通の人生なんて
手に入れない。
だから、
普通の人にしてくれてありがとう。
それだけで私は十分幸せ。

Life is about how well you weave your own life with others.
My threads are feeble, breaking before I even know it.
So I went to the shop to buy stronger ones, only to discover it has closed down.

For the first time in a long time, I can't stop smiling, both inside and out.
There's no particular reason for it either.
I'd usually be freaking out for my exam tomorrow, and the day after, and in a weeks time, but I haven't given into the stress.
I haven't talked much to friends I need to make up with.
I haven't completely forgotten about 'him' but that doesn't hurt me much anymore.

Maybe it was just that one conversation, with a person not too close to me, yet doesn't know me as a stranger.
Our talks on about anything random that first comes to our mind, ceasing the awkward silences.
Even if it was just a little, I felt that we understood each other - and that meant a lot to me.
That something so little, so undetectable, makes me feel normal.
Hence I smile.
 

 あたし以外、誰でもいい

誰にも分かってもらえないほど自分はおかしいと思いたくないから。

I don't want to think that I'm strange to the point that no one can understand me. 

Note - I can do the summary for this....but right now I cant think.  And yes, I'm still alive - barely.  Okay, just joking

KOICHI: From that drama, we have some photos. Let’s take a look at them.
TANIMURA: It’s Kii-chan.
TSUYOSHI: The location bus.
KOICHI: I’m strangely intrigued by the ‘udon’ behind there.

KOICHI: Not at allThat’s not true. [*just to make it clear that he’s not agreeing with her and saying “that face can’t be shown at all”]
So when you’re not being filmed, you kill time like this?
TANIMURA: Right.

TANIMURA: I snipped my hair into a pattsun.
[pattsun = short fringe.]
ANNOUNCER: Please tell us if you have a pretty strange custom which you now think "it’s maybe only in my own home"?
TANIMURA: From New Year’s Eve to, and it’s about New Year’s Day, I thought that counting down would be normal. However everyone in my home sleeps in the middle of the countdown to New Year’s dDay.
TSUYOSHI: So it’s really in the middle of the countdown?
TANIMURA: Yes.
KOICHI: 10, 9 zzz…
TSUYOSHI: So you fall asleep without mindingright before?
TANIMURA: Yeah, we fall asleep without minding.
TSUYOSHI: You don’t mind sleeping then?
ANNOUNCER: Do you have a special ability which you think, "With this only, I can’t be beaten?"
TANIMURA: That would be jumping ropeskipping. Um, in primary school there was a double jump contest. It was an official contest. In the double jump contest, I jumped 563 times.
KOICHI: Amazing!
Tom: 563 times?
KOICHI: Like this? And criss crossing?!
TSUYOSHI: That’s criss crossing.
ANNOUNCER: Your first job was at what age, and what sort of job was it?
TANIMURA: In third year of primary school, I was photographed for leaflets wearing a 753 kimono

TANIMURA: That’s right.
ANNOUNCER: Tell us if you’ve had a scene where you thought, "this was fairly harsh" in a movie or drama.
TANIMURA: In the movie "Yubisaki Kara Sekai wo", rising from beneath the earth was a really harsh scene.
[The World from my Fingertips]
TSUYOSHI: Amazing.
KOICHI: Are you Saibai Man? Saying "roar, roar"*
[Dragon Ball character]
TSUYOSHI: *[*sounds like kibuseru?]
TANIMURA: Yes. I waited from beneath the earth for the signal and then I was pulled out. While I suffocating, I was waiting for the signal.
TSUYOSHI: Yeah, you don’t often wait for signals from beneath the earth.
TANIMURA: I thought I’d get killed.
TSUYOSHI: Well, that’d be right.
ANNOUNCER: Please tell us a scene where you can now look back on and laugh at yourself?
TANIMURA: This is also from a movie, but in the movie "Tokyo Zombie"
there’s a scene where I become a zombie and chase an old man.
Up until the last second in before filming that scene, I was making small talk with the old manwe were talking about social issues.
KOICHI: Well it’s likethere’s that. Like in NHK’s cafeteria, there are a samurais  was eating normally. That’d make you think, "what’s up with this placeat?" in NHK’s cafeteria.
ANNOUNCER: Please tell us one of your weaknesses.
TANIMURA: When I laugh excessively, I have erotic eyes.
TSUYOSHI: Really? Erotic eyes?
Tom: An 18 year old saying ‘erotic’ really makes you nervous.
KOICHI: I got really nervous.
Takazami: Really?
TANIMURA: People point that out to me a lot.
KOICHI: You’ll have erotic eyes?
TANIMURA: Yes.
ANNOUNCER: What raises your excitement level the most at school?
TANIMURA: Farewell parties.
Tom: Your’re excitement level is raised then?
KOICHI: That?
See ya later~!!
It’s fine with the cheery farewell, but wouldn’t it be sad?
TANIMURA: In the end, it really hits hard though…but it is quite ~
KOICHI: For a happy farewell, you raise your excitement level. But goodbyes are hard to take in
.
TANIMURA: Yeah, grad…ually…
KOICHI: Why are you running out of breath?
TANIMURA: Laughing excessively makes me run out of breath.
KOICHI: When she laughs she runs out of breath and has erotic eyes!
Tom: We’ve called an amazing child today.
KOICHI: Amazing, that’s a surprised.
ANNOUNCER: Recently, what have you laughed about most?
KOICHI: Having erotic eyes!
TANIMURA: Recently, um… in the studioon location, I was with Kitano Kii. She was going to put on some lip gloss, but mistakenly put on some [hand] cream treatment and her lips becoame completely white. I burst out laughing because of that.
TSUYOSHI: That was mistakenly?
KOICHI: Of course you’d burst out laughing!
TSUYOSHI: What’s with you?
Yucali: He’s trying to act young!
ANNOUNCER: Did you try out something which you think is "a bit of a stupid record"?
TANIMURA: Until what point in time the coolerair conditioner…
Um…coolerair conditioner
KOICHI: You restated it
TSUYOSHI: *[*dunno!]
TANIMURA: Air conditioner – without using it
Tom: Again?
KOICHI: For the third time.
TANIMURA: Without using the cooler, how long can I last?
Tom: Without what?
TANIMURA: The coolerair conditioner.
[Cooler also means air conditioner]
TSUYOSHI: Like, "Until which month can you last?"
TANIMURA: I lasted until August.
TSUYOSHI: That’s pretty early, right?
KOICHI: However, I had my cooler air conditioner on since April…
My place is hot!!
TSUYOSHI: That’s weird!
Is there lava underneath?
You wouldn’t need the cooler air conditioner in April, right?
KOICHI: But in winter I don’t need a heater.
Takami: Why?
TSUYOSHI: Do you forget to turn off the heater?
KOICHI: It’s not that.
ANNOUNCER: Please give a catchphrase to yourself.
TANIMURA: Even though I’m a Kansai person, I’m not funny at all.
TSUYOSHI: Huh? That’s copying Okada Junichi a bit.
KOICHI: Well, being a Kansai person doesn’t mean everyone has to be funny, right?
TANIMURA: But don’t they expect that?
KOICHI: That’s why it’s hard on me…
TSUYOSHI: Who’s saying that?
Takami: Isn’t there’s no one as funny as you in this world?
KOICHI: I don’t want to be told that by Takamizawa!
Takami: Why!?
Tom: I think you’ll be able to appear on M1 like this.
[M1 Grand Prix = Big manzai competition on TV]*

KOICHI: What a wreck.
ANNOUNCER: For the first time, an email was sent to you from a guy you’re interested in.
TANIMURA: Right.
ANNOUNCER:
A. A simple email without a single picture
B. A fun email with loads of pictures
[Emoji are the pictures/smilies used for emailing, texting, etc]
Which one would you be happy with?
TANIMURA: Um, I’d like a simple email
KOICHI: Of course.
Takami: Really?
Tom: What about simple emails that comes only once a year?
TANIMURA: That…I wouldn’t want!
KOICHI: It wouldn’t be like that!
You don’t use them yourself?
TANIMURA: If it’s to a person I like, I can’t use a heart or anything lightly.
TSUYOSHI: Conversely?
KOICHI: Conversely?
TANIMURA: Right. I just end with the period*
Tom: If you don’t use an ‘up’ icon or a ‘smiley’, what’d you do?
TANIMURA: Only for expressions thenIt’s somehow hard to express yourself, right.?
KOICHI: A while ago, my mother showed me a message from my father. He used heaps of pictures, I was surprised!!
Takami: Your’re father?
KOICHI: I was surprised!
Yucali: How cute.
KOICHI: What’s more, they weren’t pictures, but there were the smiley ones made from symbols. Then I asked my mother "What’s with father using this?"
"Hm? They’re Father Marks" she said.
Yucali: Cute!
KOICHI: My dad does that? I was surprised.
TSUYOSHI: If I was told “Father Marks” ? Then what shwould I do?
KOICHI: They’re apparently like Father Marks.
TSUYOSHI: “What are you saying?” and it would end… We’ve finished*

ANNOUNCER: Please tell us your ideal situation about which you think "I want someone to confess their love to me like that."
TANIMURA: In an empty classroom, being confessed "I like you" normally is ideal.
TSUYOSHI: For example, under ‘day duty’ your name and his name.
[Day duty = on duty that day for classroom chores.]
TEXTSUYOSHI: DAY DUTY (top)
Domoto (Left)
Tanimura (right)
KOICHI: That’s scary.
TANIMURA: I like it when one tries hard.
KOICHI: So there is that sort of technique.
TSUYOSHI: There isn’t!
No one does that!
No one in the world does that!
Tom: You sure are funny.
KOICHI: So there isn’t…
KOICHI: But making a situation with no one around at school is hard.
TANIMURA: I hope for it. Clearly because I’m in an all girl school, my imagination inflates.
TSUYOSHI: For the person you like, that’d be rather difficult.
TANIMURA: Really?
KOICHI: This one time when I was really nervous…Let me use this for a second.  Take this ias a desk?
TSUYOSHI: This is a chair! Sure is hard. Can’t we use our imagination?
KOICHI: It is a chair, but it’ll act as a desk!
I was eating bread over there. And then a girl suddenly…I don’t know how she came, but suddenly she came in, like this. From underneathBeneath me, she came in like this. Then she said "give me bread!" to me. That made me nervous!
Tom: So you mean her face was here?
KOICHI: Yeah, yeah…
Tom: And said "give me bread"?
Takami: Isn’t tThat like a wasn’t some ghost?
KOICHI: A ghost wants bread.
That was strangely cute.
Everyone: Eh!?
KOICHI: Because I did ithat, itshe lookeds stupid like a monster but…
TSUYOSHI: But if she was someone you liked.
KOICHI: She was a child that never used her sensesNo, but it was a girl I had completely no awareness of!
TSUYOSHI: Ah, really?
KOICHI: That made me a bit nervous.
Takami: What happened withdid you do to the bread?
KOICHI: I said, "Ooooh" and giave it to her.
What was with that? I thought.
Tom: Isn’t that romancelove?
TSUYOSHI: She was probably in lovehad romantic feelings with for you. [*love seems a bit strong for a high school crush]
KOICHI: Seriously!?
TSUYOSHI: Obviously!
TSUYOSHI: A girl wouldn’t come in like that at a guy’s desk if notshe didn’t have romantic feelings for him.
KOICHI: Eh~! I lost outher~!!
Tom: AfterWhen this is on air, everyone will come in with their face from here.
Takami/Tsuyoshi: That’s troublesome.
KOICHI: I’dve never seen a girl from that angle before!!
Tom: So it was like her head on your knees?
KOICHI: Yeah, yeah…
Takami: That was in the classroom?
KOICHI: Yes.
Takami: Not the sickroom?
KOICHI: But in a way, wouldn’t you still get nervous if it had been in the sickroom?
Tom: That’s right. Like this, "Hhere’s your temperature~!"
TSUYOSHI: That’s closedangerous, that’s closedangerous.
KOICHI: Tsuyoshi would like that.
Tom: That’s closedangerous?
TSUYOSHI: It’s closedangerous.
Tom: Sorry about the talk going like this. Please be part of it!
TANIMURA: It’s funny! Like watching TV!
KOICHI: It’s all up to you.
ANNOUNCER: "I don’t understand men at all!" What action would make you think that?
TANIMURA: Each time they change their attitude.
KOICHI: Huh? That’s for girl to megirls.
TANIMURA: Ah, really?
Tom: Were we talking to you people!?
TSUYOSHI: That’d be right, if you were talkingCertainly, he didn’t say “it’s you”.
KOICHI: I think girls change attitude easier. I thinkBut from your perspective, you don’t understand guy’s’ feelings and mentality.
TANIMURA: That’s right.
Tom: In what situation?
TANIMURA: One day we were talking and getting along well, but the next day he was really cold to me.  Right?
Takami: That happens?
TSUYOSHI: Couldn’t that be love, conversely?
KOICHI: Conversely, he could’ve been shy.
TSUYOSHI: Without looking like he caredTrying to make her pay attention to him.
Tom: What are you laughing grinning about?
Did you just think "Ah, perhapsthat’s it"?
TANIMURA: I didn’t!
KOICHI: She got mad at you.
Tom: I’m sorry.
KOICHI: You’re happy!
Tom: An 18 year old is getting mad at me, so I’m happy.
ANNOUNCER: Finally, facing the camera, please show us a top smile you show when having fun.
TANIMURA: Oh no! MyI’ll get erotic eyes…
ANNOUNCER: Tanimura Mitsuki, thank you very much.
KOICHI: A big disaster from your childhood – you cut your hair yourself and cut your fringe into a pattsunshort. How old were you?
TANIMURA: I was about 32 years old.
TSUYOSHI: That’s early.
TANIMURA: Yes.
KOICHI: At 23, you had scissors?
You were quite a tomboy?
TANIMURA: I was an active child who liked sports.
KOICHI: An active child? We have some photos from your childhood. Let’s take a look.
Tom: Ah, how cute.
TSUYOSHI: That’s great!
So stylish~!
KOICHI: Your fringe is cut short.
TSUYOSHI: You are cute.
TANIMURA: Thank you.
TSUYOSHI: You’re face is like, "I made the straw hat".
TSUYOSHI: This was your transportation back then?
TANIMURA: Skateboarding was my father’s hobby, so I was influenced.
Tom: Is that skateboard model fairly recent?
TSUYOSHI: Well, that is true.
Even with her
TSUYOSHI: Even her clothes are stylishShe’s a stylish person – her clothes too.
Tom: Ah, cute
TSUYOSHI: The photo quality is great.
Takami: This isn’t a child’s face!
TANIMURA: I’m often told it’s very mature.
KOICHI: Even now it hasn’t changed much.
TANIMURA: I was always using that skipping rope.
TSUYOSHI: This photo doesn’t show you having fun skipping, but more like you asking "Do you wanna go?"
KOICHI: This was your first job, for 753’s pamphlet. You’re on the left?
TANIMURA: Yes, the left.
Tom: Ah, what a beautiful child.
KOICHI: Do you remember this first job?
TANIMURA: I unwillingly did it. It was like learning a lesson…
My mother was very strong willed.*
KOICHI: Ah, really?
Tom: But you’re smiling properly, aren’t you?
KOICHI: Yeah.
TANIMURA: No, I’m still uncomfortable here.
KOICHI: Am I still not able to smile?
[Warau means both to smile or laugh]
Takami: It’s only you.
Tom: It’s okay, everyone around you can laugh!
KOICHI: I’m not happy at all~!
Tom: Everyone can laugh.
KOICHI: Everyone around me can laugh?
Tom: Everyone’s enjoying themselves, it’s okay.
KOICHI: Does that mean I’m being laughed at?
Tom: No, no.
KOICHI: A scene you thought was harsh – something you had at work. Rising from beneath the earth .
Tom: I’m intrigued by that.
TANIMURA: Yes.
KOICHI: A scene you can laugh at is when you becoame a zombie and chased an old man.
TANIMURA: Yes.
KOICHI: We have a video of those.
Tom: Let’s watch it.
TEXTSUYOSHI: "Yubisaki Kara Sekai wo" 2006 Release [The World fFrom mMy Fingertips]
KOICHI: From beneath the earth!
KOICHI: Coming up!
[Lit. “bulging/swelling.” There’s another meaning to that *cough* ~I’ll say no more]
KOICHI: Coming up and…?
Tom: With water coming down?*
KOICHI: You laugh at this sceneThis isn’t really a scene to laugh at?.
You laugh at this?This isn’t a place to laugh!
TANIMURA: It’s funny!
Takami: Wow.
KOICHI: Ah, that’s a tough scene.
PINK WRITING: Tanimura Mitsuki. 16 years old at the time.
TEXTSUYOSHI: "Tokyo Zombie" 2005 Release
KOICHI: That’s tough.
TSUYOSHI: Wow.
KOICHI: This is "Tokyo Zombie"?
Takami: You’re garbage?
KOICHI: Old man!!
Tom: Where’s he looking?
KOICHI: Aah! Old man!!
PINK WRITING: Tanimura Mitsuki. 15 years old at the time
KOICHI: Coming from beneath the earth would be really tough.
TANIMURA: The creators made that properly for me*There was a place with air.  They made one for me properly, the set designers.
KOICHI: Of course, that would *there would be a hollow area under there, right??
TANIMURA: That’s right.After a fashion.
KOICHI: ThereIt would be.
TANIMURA: But I was buriedit would leak down.
KOICHI: Yeah, being buried.TSUYOSHI: The water, right?
KOICHI: The old man was peeking…
TANIMURA: He was peeking.
TSUYOSHI: *can’t get it – maybe “Like crazy”?**
KOICHI: That’s not his ad-libbing?
TANIMURA: No, it was written in the script!
KOICHI: You were fine with being seen right, you had something on underneath?It’s fine *
TANIMURA: PerfectlyTo be sure.
KOICHI: Oh, that’s goodfine.
KOICHI: From what we heard earlier, what you said about love was interesting.
You want to be told "I like you"?
TANIMURA: Ah, either way!
KOICHI: Oh. You’re fine saying it yourself?
TANIMURA: Yes. But I’m told, "By saying too much, the other person will become cold."
Tom: Have you said it before?
TANIMURA: I have!
Tom: Ah, that’s great.
TANIMURA: But that person withdrew…
Tom: You didn’t write it, but looked him in the eyes and said, "I like you."
TANIMURA: Yes.
Tom: Uwah!
TANIMURA: If I think I like him, I’ll say it.
KOICHI: Is that so?
Takami: That’s a surprise.
TANIMURA: I get all excited then subside by myself. I’m a selfish fickle person.
KOICHI: What should the guy do then?
TANIMURA: I don’t know.
KOICHI: Being told, "I like you" from yourselfand taking it seriously, thinking "Hi~Yippee!"…
Kyoko: “Yippee”?Hi?
[Yahho is the equivalent to a slang ‘hi’ or ‘hello’]*That’s true, but here it’s being used as an interjection of joy.  [Ref. alc.co.jp]*
KOICHI: And then suddenly to be told, “Oh, nevermind,” Tthat person wouldn’t know what to think and thenwould go, so you’d be like "Ooh!".
TANIMURA: That’s right.
KOICHI: So what is your ideal type of guy?
TANIMURA: Someone who can adapt to surrounds*who is similar to air.
KOICHI: Even though you’re in the same room, it doesn’t matter if no one talks and it’s silent?
TANIMURA: I’m pretty wearyI frequently worry about that, maybe because I’m a Kansai person, I can’t stand the silence, I just have to talk. Therefore I think someone who can tolerate those times is finesilences is good. So I think someone who can adapt to surrounds is fineis like air is good.
TSUYOSHI: So normally, you’re wearyyou go out of your way to  and you talk a lot, but when you’re in lovea relationship, you’d calm down and feel at ease.
TANIMURA: That’s right.
KOICHI: Do you have an ideal date?
TANIMURA: I want to frolic!
[Frolic/go crazy having fun]
Tom: Where?
TANIMURA: I’ve never been to Fuji-Q High Land before so I’d like to go.
[Fuji-Q High Land is like a big amusement park and has a lot of wild rides.]
Tom: Then you’d go on rides, like this?
TANIMURA: Yes.
Tom: Holding hands beside him?
TANIMURA: I might hit him a lot!
Tom: Beside him?
TANIMURA: I have a that habit a lot so that might happen.
KOICHI: Yucali, do you have an ideal date?
Yucali: Eh, what would it be? Having yakiniku.
[Japanese dish of fried meat]
Everyone: Yakiniku?
Takami: You’re fine with yakiniku?
Yucali: Fuji-Q is for the young, so I can’t go there.
I can’t frolic that much!
Takami: You’re saying you can frolic?
KOICHI: You can frolic!
Yucali: I can frolic?
Yucali/Kyoko: I want to frolic
♥
I can’t frolic.

YUI’s CHE.R.RY…

(I translated song~I like YUI too)
What shivered in my hands became a small courage.
I didn’t like smileyies, but when they’re from you, I get really excited.
"You shouldn’t reply immediately" is what I’ve heard from someone.
But I just can’t play around.
…I love you, ah ah ah ah.
I’ve fallen in love. Perhaps you haven’t notice, have you?
On a starry night, I make a wish. CHE.R.RY
~I’ll send you a message with my fingertips.
I want fruits that become sweeter.
And have them grow from a casual conversation.
ah ah ah ah
At the start of a romance, my chest starts to feel tight.
I will be waiting forever.
I leave you a message in the cold evening wind in Spring.
I’ve fallen in love. Perhaps you haven’t notice, have you?
On a starry night, I make a wish. CHE.R.RY
~I’ll send you a message with my fingertips.

Pot label: That pot
 

Okay, here's the edited version.  Less than a week of holidays - yeah :P  This town is too small.  *Is totally not in writing mood*

Editing by Fenlings
Summary:  This guest on this SDK is Oda Yuji - a famous Japanese actor who's played in many dramas.  He sounded like he had a tough time before he made it big, talking about living on little money and what he did to survive.  He's a sempai of KK, so it's a change seeing them using keigo (respectful language) compared to some other SDKs I've been watching - but that's just me probably.  So hope you guys enjoyed it as much as we do.   

( Read more... )

It's probably a holiday thing.  I think I'll get heaps of stuff done, but I don't - or maybe it's just laziness.  My holidays are almost over but I'm very much looking forward to uni.  I even booked my plane ticket for uni well in advance and spent hours fussing over the best times for my timetable this semester.  But still, time's going fast - really fast. 

Anyways, here's the translation for the Shin Domoto Kyoudai with Ayaka as the guest (#269 [05.11.06])
Editing by Fenlings.
Summary:
Here's a long awaited episode with Ayaka on SDK.  At the time she was 18 years old, so naturally the KK pair get to feel more like ojiisans><  (they're still loved).  I found Enari especially funny.  He's described as "retro" and his ideal encounter with his lover involves.....a handky!  Hope you'll all enjoy this.

I PASSED ACCOUNTING!!!!
After all the worrying about failing, even lugging back the fat textbooks and notes, and the waiting, that's all I cared about.  And also, the management course - passed, but not as well as I thought I would've. 
So take that accouting.  I'll never have to look at you AGAIN! 

And I love my Jap courses ♥  Unfortunately I'm most possibly halfway through the major.  Half of it's done for my 4.5 year plan... it doesn't balance out at all, and it's not fair ><  

I thought typing this out would mark a happy occassion, but now it's made me kinda angry.  Probably the reason why I don't keep diaries, don't blog often, and don't like looking back into the past *sigh*

At least there wasn't a crazy Best Hit Takami ~ oh wait, there was!! >< ~~still to be edited~~

( SDKKKKKKKKKKK )

 

I didn’t really understand what was being said throughout the athletics talk. Also, since there was HEAPS of Japanese titles for dramas, etc, I thought it was better to leave it in Romaji. 

 

ODA: Coming up is

Everyone: Shin Domoto Kyoudai.

TSUYOSHI: Will Oda Yuji meet a stag beetle one day?

Domoto: Today’s guest is

KOICHI: Oda Yuji.

KOICHI: Today’s guest is his first appearance here, he’s Oda Yuji. Thanks for coming. 

Welcome here.

Well this show has been around for a while but you came on LOVE LOVE Aishiteru before. Now you have short hair for the drama?

ODA: Yeah. 

KOICHI: For your character.

ODA: Yes.

KOICHI: It’s great how various hairstyles suit you.

TSUYOSHI: I think so too.

KOICHI: Whatever it is, it suits you.

ODA: You too.

KOICHI: I’d have short hair if the set requires it!

For example, if my character was a soldier, I’d shave my hair!

I’d do it, I’d do it.

ODA: We heard it.

TSUYOSHI: Television staff, Let’s Go!!

 

KOICHI: Domoto One Question One Answer.

ANNOUNCER: These are questions for Oda Yuji.

Please tell us your real name, age and where you’re from.

ODA: My real name is Oda Yuji, I’m 40 and I’m from the Kanagawa Prefecture.

Someone: So young.

ANNOUNCER: What did you often play with during your childhood?

ODA: My childhood? I play with anything!! In the neighbourhood, if there was a house under construction that’d be a playground!!

KOICHI: You’re not supposed to enter, right?

WRITING: Don’t copy this good boys and girls!!

ODA: It was like a big jungle gym to me!!

KOICHI: Ah, as a child you wouldn’t know, right?

ODA: Yeah.

ANNOUNCER: What did you want to become as a child?

ODA: A fisherman, sushi maker and an astronaut.

KOICHI: You have a wide range!!

ODA: That’s right. 

TSUYOSHI: An astronaut?

ODA: Children seem to like them, don’t they?

ANNOUNCER: What’s a legendary story that makes you think “That was naughty of me”?

ODA: I can’t say that!!

ANNOUNCER: When was your turning point in life and what was it?

ODA: Turning point? I kinda have one. I was always part of club activities then I broke my leg so I couldn’t play sports at all... Then I started a band which is why I’m now here!!

ANNOUNCER: What started off your debut?

ODA: I got through an audition for the movie “Shounan Bakusouzoku”!! And at the time I debuted at the same time with the song “BOOM BOOM BOOM”! Yeah, it’s embarrassing.

ANNOUNCER: What’s an episode you suffered through tough times?

ODA: It might not suffering through tough times but because I had no money I didn’t have curtains in my room... I only had a futon from home and living on what I picked up and received.

KOICHI: What you picked up?

ODA: I picked a TV. It said it was a colour television but it had 3 colours. There was tape on it so those only appeared, but I used it. I lived without using much money.

ANNOUNCER: If you were to do a remake of “Odoru Daisousasen” overseas, who do you want to act as “Aoshima”?

ODA: I’ll act as Aoshima!!

TSUYOSHI: I think that’d be right.

ODA: Someone with blue eyes acting as Aoshima would be weird, wouldn’t it?

[Ao-shima literally means Blue Island]

KOICHI: Well everything’s staked on the character.

ODA: I have an attachment to it!! So I can’t really imagine anyone else being that character.

ANNOUNCER: You say you have many hobbies – recently, what have you been obsessed with?

ODA: A while ago, before I was in “Taiyou to Umi no Kyoushitsu” I was darker. Before that I went to Hawaii. As scorching as it was I went surfing... I thought surfing’s fun so I might become obsessed with it...

ANNOUNCER: If you had a holiday, what would you most want to do?

ODA: I’d like to play! But firstly I’d like to sleep... I’d want to sleep but I’d like to go somewhere. I’m always in the city around studios so I’d like to go a place with fresh air!!

ANNOUNCER: What’s a strange habit of yours which you first realised when someone pointed it out to you?

ODA: A strange habit? When I’m shy I touch my eyebrows but I don’t notice it myself.

ANNOUNCER: If the earth was to be destroyed tomorrow, what would you?

ODA: The earth would disappear? I’d flee to outer space with my lover!!

KyokOda: Ah, how cool.

KOICHI: Me too! Me too!!

TSUYOSHI: You just copied that?! You 100% copied that.

KOICHI: Have your own opinions with this.

TSUYOSHI: You’d probably go for a drive.

KOICHI: I also would do that!! I would too!!

ANNOUNCER: Honestly, who’s your rival?

ODA: My rival myself, wanting to become “nothing”.

There was a cool part to me but my main point is “there’s a lazy me”.

There’s a part me who doesn’t like doing anything...

So that comes to mind.

KOICHI: I totally understand!!

What’s wrong with that?

TSUYOSHI: They still had some doubt in their eyes...

KOICHI: There’s a part of yourself who wants to be lazy but I try not to give in.

ODA: I’m the type who can laze around easily, the type who’s fine with lazing around for years.

KOICHI: I totally understand.

ODA: Perhaps I won’t ever return...

ANNOUNCER: When do you think, “I’ve really grown older...”?

ODA: When I see myself zoomed up on a high vision television.

I’m with students in scenes.

(cut box ~ scene...whichever...)

KOICHI: Ah, with your drama?

ODA: That’s right. Zooming up on me after the students...I don’t really want to see that.

KOICHI: No, it’s okay.

ODA: You don’t have to zoom up!!

KOICHI: You’re a teacher after all. On the contrary if you were the same that wouldn’t work, right?

ODA: Well, yeah. I wanted to grow old so it doesn’t bother me...

KOICHI: You, you wanted to?

ODA: I want to look old as I grow old... I don’t want to look young.

ANNOUNCER: What is your weakness?

ODA: High places.

TSUYOSHI: That’s quite unexpected.

ODA: This has happened twice in the drama*. On tomorrow’s broadcast, I’ll go on top of a building. It was 12 floors high but I couldn’t stand it. From that day I couldn’t sleep for two nights!!

I’m fine with climbing up into a helicopter, and that sort!!

KOICHI: That’s scary. I don’t get that at all!!

ODA: I’m fine if it’s a scene where I face forward!! I’ll do this, so here I go up. Positive ones are fine but not something like stopping someone from committing suicide. Trying to film the negative scenes and go to high places, I can’t stand it.

Do you hate that?

TSUYOSHI: I’m afraid of high places.

ODA: Ah, same here.

TSUYOSHI: When I’m at a high place my body goes forward itself!!

ODA: Ah, yeah. It’s like being sucked in. 

TSUYOSHI: Even at concerts, I try to stand firm a lot all the time.

ODA: I got injured once*

TSUYOSHI: My body goes like this.

ODA: I understand.

TSUYOSHI: I so try standing firm like this. When I’m at high places, I don’t sing much, don’t I?

ODA: You look like you’d sing at really high places?

TSUYOSHI: Yeah. When I come down I’m like --

It’s really scary!!

ANNOUNCER: Going onto the next question.

Where do you first look when you see a lady?

ODA: Eyes. 

ANNOUNCER: What action of a lady would make you nervous without thinking?

ODA: Her expression when she’s awkward. No one agreed with that at all...

Somehow I get nervous when she has a shy expression.

Tom: Do it!! Be awkward!!

KOICHI: I don’t really have a awkward expression.

Tom: Say something that might make her awkward!!

KOICHI: Um, if there was a bug here, what’d you do?

TSUYOSHI: That’s not quite it!!

KOICHI: If there was a bug, what’d you do?

KyokOda: Kill it!! What’s with that...

KOICHI: See, she was awkward!!

KyokOda: Ah, that sort of thing?

ODA: Now she’s awkward.

Tom: Ah now? So it’s like that?

KyokOda: I took a bit of a detour!!

KOICHI: I made you look awkward, right?!!

KyokOda: Yeah, thank you.

ANNOUNCER: Finally, you’re acting as the passionate teacher, Sakurai Sakutaro, in the drama “Taiyou to Umi no Kyoushitsu”

please say something for the students watching TV.

ODA: Eat breakfast properly!!

ANNOUNCER: Oda Yuji, thank you very much.

KOICHI: Thank you, please sit back here.

Does no one eat breakfast?

ODA: No, there’s one [(who’s acting as a)] student! 

[(In the drama)] I keep tell that person but that’s occasionally cut out... It won’t be broadcasted.

KOICHI: How’s it like being a teacher?

ODA: It’s a bit awkward!!

KOICHI: Ah, really?

ODA: I don’t want to show myself to those who knew me from school!!

KOICHI: Really?

ODA: Yeah. Because you were mischievous in the past?

ODA: If I had to say so...

KOICHI: We’ve ask many things so far. 

You debuted with the movie “Shounan Bakusouzoku”!! We have a video prepared. 

 

ODA: They’re filming at the same hill now!!

TSUYOSHI: It’s a famous hill. 

ODA: Yeah. They’re filming there even now.

KOICHI: You’re this person?

ODA: This is embarrassing, but whatever. That’s me. Ah, not cool.

TSUYOSHI: Awesome.

Oda acting: Shounan Bakusouzoku Captain. It’s Ishikawa Akira!! Show yourself!! I was careless and couldn’t fight you!!

Oda before “show yourself”: I was bad at this.

 

ODA: Can that be refilmed?

TSUYOSHI: No, no, no.

KOICHI: That was when you were 18 or 19 years old at the time.

ODA: Right.

KOICHI: As you describe earlier, was that when you didn’t have much money?

ODA: Yeah. 

KOICHI: You didn’t have air con...

ODA: I didn’t have anything!!

Tom: It’s great to say there’s nothing in your own room.

ODA: Well my room itself was crammed so it didn’t matter if there wasn’t anything.

Tom: It must be inconvenient without curtains?

ODA: Those wire hangers you receive from laundry service... I randomly put shirts on them and put the hangers in the holes for the curtains.  So I used that instead of curtains.

KOICHI: Amazing. Going through various lifestyles, you’ve come to learn different things.

Tom: But curtains morning must’ve been early?

ODA: It was bright!! If I came home late I couldn’t sleep until day. The sunlight would come in, it would wake me up. I’d be like “let me sleep”.    I also had posters at the back.

Tom: On the window.

ODA: Put posters up and make it darker.

KOICHI: Ah, really? Did you have a bath in your house?

ODA: Um, I once did but it was square so the size wasn’t enough to fit in. The shower also drizzled out a single stream of water. It wasn’t really a shower, it pressure was really low. I don’t know how many minutes it took me.

It was hopeless. I thought I couldn’t use it.

KOICHI: An unwilling shower really makes me mad.

ODA: That’s true. At home with my parents it comes out really fast, it hurts. 

KOICHI: Since living by yourself...

ODA: It’s now this.

KOICHI: I hate that. It irritates me.

ODA: I’d go “how annoying”.   What’s more, my hair was longer.

TSUYOSHI: After a concert I’d go for a shower immediately. Depending on the venue, I’d come out like an idiot.

KOICHI: Sometimes it hurts.

TSUYOSHI: Yeah. I think “The water coming out well” at first and it feels okay, then I’d put it in this thing. And then...

It’d go “Bam!” Yeah, yeah...

KOICHI: That happens!

TSUYOSHI: Then I’d fix it. Then over here I placed my clothes on the tiles because there’s a curtain. Right here, with my shoes. So it’d put it back and try again. I shampoo my hair and then it goes again... Smash!

KOICHI: That happens!

TSUYOSHI: When it’s turned all the way, it ends up like this...

KOICHI: There were times when you were extremely mad!!

 ODA: Shall I teach you something for that?

TSUYOSHI: Is there a trick to it?

ODA: There is. You should twist the bottom of the hose.

Doing that, it’ll be fine.

TSUYOSHI: Really?

ODA: That’s definitely a good part. Between the hose and the showerhead, if you twist it’ll stay there.

TSUYOSHI: I wish I met Oda Yuji earlier. 

KOICHI: That’s true. I was at loss over it many times. 

Tom: Since you’re here, there’s something I just have to ask.

ODA: Yes?

Tom: Do you like athletics?

ODA: I did love sports but I did a lot of ball games so non-believers didn’t know why it’s fun.

Tom: So you don’t like that much now?

ODA: I had an idea long ago. For those who want to be interesting, older people are definitely interesting!!

*********

Tom: I love athletics. When other people are watching, they get angry, but when they hear what you’re saying they’re like “That’s right! Why does that guy know it? Exactly! Go, Go!”

ODA: The staff were passionate. They a lot of them. 

KOICHI: You do look like you’re a passionate person but of Oda Yuji says someone’s passionate, they must be really passionate.

ODA: No, no... Those people are interesting when they enthusiastically give me explanations. So then I think I have to say it.

Tom: But you’re ignited a new light to athletics. That’s why I thought you’re amazing. I’m sorry.

ODA: Ah, I’m sorry...

KOICHI: Well there’s still a lot I want to ask you, like your hobbies.

KOICHI: Apparently you were obsessed with stag beetles.

ODA: When you’re a child, you’d catch them. Now that I’ve grown up, I can raise them properly.

KOICHI: Yeah.

ODA: As a prank, when I went to a friend’s place stag beetles will come flying to the entrance. So we talked about how we can catch them here. Then when we went to a practice ground for golf, somewhere close by... you can catch them. Isn’t it fascinating?

KOICHI: Catching stag beetles?

ODA: It was fun to catch stag beetles and rhinoceros beetles like I did as a child... I was obsessed in an instant.

KOICHI: So has happened recently?

ODA: No, a few years ago. I don’t do that anymore.

KOICHI: Since you’re grown up...

ODA: Since I’ve grown up...

TSUYOSHI: Eeh~. Is that so?

Tom: Since you’ve passed 30?

ODA: Since I’ve passed 35.

TSUYOSHI: Isn’t that great?

KOICHI: Raising them, as they grow would be...

ODA: Was amazing. It was like laboratory.

KOICHI: Laboratory?

ODA: With the bottles all lined up. Each one separated into each area, not whatever brand.

KOICHI: You had that many?

ODA: There were one I went to catch myself, like the ones in the wild, and there were the good breeds. The place for those good breeds were in Okayama, and I went to the champion’s place and said, “Excuse me, can you show me it?” It took me 6 hours to get there by car!!

KOICHI: Really?

ODA: I’d like to see it, which is Japan’s number one.

 TSUYOSHI: You’re enthusiastic.

KOICHI: Ah, it’s a stag beetle...

ODA: Beautifully formed contest for Japan’s number one.

KOICHI: Beautifully formed contest?

TSUYOSHI: There are those.

KOICHI: Maniac!

ODA: I wondered what it like, but I don’t know.

For starters, I’d like to see what it looks like.

Tom: So is it pretty?

ODA: They wouldn’t show me.

KOICHI: Eh!? Really?

ODA: They said, “It’s hibernating now” and turned me down.

Tom: That’s wonderful!

ODA: I was told, “Come back in Spring!”

 KOICHI: I see~!

ODA: I went again in Spring!

Tom: You did?

ODA: Yeah. They said, “It’s still sleeping.”

KOICHI: That’s no good!

DomotOda: Domoto

Takami: Best Hit Takami.

TSUYOSHI: I too was made to run a lot.

KOICHI: Ah, that’s from 1997.

ODA: I definitely was in a lot of fighting scenes.

Acting oda: Pardon me?

ANNOUNCER: Oda Yuji has not only been busy as an actor, but also as a singer. He’s currently starring in “Taiyou no Umi no Kyoushitsu” and sings the theme song.

Takami: Kinki Kids too?

TSUYOSHI: For our concert.

DomotOda: Before our debut.

TSUYOSHI: This is a really good song.

ODA: It’s a great song.

Takami: Why did you want to cover this song?

ODA: Originally, I thought it was the best.

Takami: Ah, in the past you liked it. 

ODA: I loved it in the past. And then the producer asked if I could sing it.

The producer also had this image for this. I didn’t think I’d sing it for this drama. But there was a lot of passion for it, so I said I’ll do my best.

Takami: Ah amazing. Tonight, under the name UZ, the new song “Kimi no Hitomi ni Koi Shiteru” will...with the Domoto Brothers Band...

At the end~

Takami: I’ll make it last 33 minutes!!

 

 

 

My LJ likes to die on me.  *getting angry* ~ this is still to be edited
( SDK with Tanimura Mitsuki )

My laptop died!! I hope the memory hasn't been erased, but more importantly, I hope it can be fixed - soon!  My withdrawal symptoms are beyond bad ~ it's really severe.  And while I can use this random college lab (I found its whereabouts after THIS WHOLE YEAR) using my laptop in my little room is always something I've been used to ~ well, for the last 3 or 4 years.

*cries*

There's a cross dress party going on right now.  The 2 guys that borrowed my skirts...look better it in than I do >< But after seeing that, and what they're doing...I don't think I can wear them anymore.  Same goes with the hello kitty shirt one guy borrowed and stuffed it with socks or something, so much that if I wear it, um, the top part *cough* will be VERY BAGGY.  Figures why I'm here
*just wants laptop to come back to life*

The main reason I want to post this up is because Fenlings did an awesome job for helping me edit this.  Thank you Fenlings~Arigatou Daisenpai
Also it makes my LJ look less abadoned. 
That's all I can say for now.  I can't even think of what else to type....

*copies and pastes from final edited version*

( Read more... )( Read more... )( Read more... )( Read more... )

This is getting desperate of me...I can't wait until my holidays><  No more accounting (if i don't fail), no more management group assignment, no more Japanese with the lecturer who hates me (but that's mutual)
It's 2 more months....2 MONTHS!  *gets hyped*  I want it to end, so I can go home and DOWNLOAD like crazy.  Also translate.  Yes translate.  Translate probably mainly Shin Domoto Kyoudai episodes.  I just watched FF's subbed SDK with Mizukawa Asami, and it's become clear to me that I need to work on translations being simplier. They just ended up being LONG.  (sorry viewers and subbers><)
Also, I wanna watch DAIGO on Shimuraken Doubutsuen.  DAIGO and Aiba...that'd be ♥ -for me.  *considers translating it - but FF can't put subs on it*
And the doom of due assignments and exams are closing in on me.  Accounting is my 天敵.  I can say worse things for it, but I'll do that once I'm sure I'm done with it. 
So what to do now?
*scrunches up into a little ball and gets confused* 

I've just been looking on my LJ - it's been 3 weeks since I last updated it (tsk to myself).
I also changed the lj format - it's way better than before (should've done that earlier)
I was on hiatus in order to try do more uni work for about 2 weeks and last weekend I just finished my last major uni midsem exam.  So now I'm more free to translate and do whatever I want to.  I've kinda got a rotation for futari on track and in place.  We've all got a recent SDK we're all working on, and I've just finished DAIGO.  All to do now is wait for the editing for it - as well as Morisanchuu. 
Oh yeah, there's also 33pun Tantei - halfway through my part for episode 4. 

The list of SDKs here was made to keep track of what's already subbed.  I'm thinking of taking requests (except on that list, obviously) or translating whatever I reckon should be translated - now i'm a bit busy, but on holidays, I think I'll get more done.  The latest SDKs are gonna be subbed, so requests for that won't count. 

Here's what I'd really like to translate and what I may as well do in future:
SDK with
AI from 8th December 07
Jinnai Tomonori and Kobayashi from 17th Feb 08
Ayumi Hamasaki from 4th March 07

ちょっと迷う
どうすればいいかな

Point randomly at one (pick again) and point randomly at another
Meh, I know which one I wanna do first...

The most recent SDK - I've finally finished translating it!
