Thoughts on Kanjani∞'s new album/ K-chan Episode

Jun 24, 2007 02:30

The new Kanjani∞ album is pretty cool. They have some interesting new songs. The bonus movie was funny. (.^O^.) Ryo-chan (Smith the philosopher) got pied!! HA HA HA The concept for the short movie was creative, I enjoyed it.

So... Ryo-chan lives in a 1LDK huh?

According to my Latte-chan, Ryo-chan wrote in his new j-web that he wants to go back to having black hair♥

I really liked Ryo-chan's solo song, stereo♥ I'm going to translate it once I translate his other song Race. When I listened to stereo for the first time, I was like, "Wow, he did a good job writing this song. The melody is great, and so is the lyrics." But listening to his words, I started to get the feeling that he has a girlfriend... But then again, songwriters can write songs out of imagination right? Either way, as long as he is happy.

亮へのメッセージ:
亮、『stereo』めっちゃよかったよ。
何回も聴いてます。
はじめて聴いた時、亮の歌詞に胸が〇〇〇っとなった。
創造から書いた曲?じゃないと本当に今恋してる?
亮が幸せか気になる。Pour quoi? Parce que, je t'aime...

Spinel-nyan, here is a K-chan episode. (.^___^.)

This episode is from 2004.

From: 『イッツ!NEWS』-『ファミレスメニューを制覇するのだ!』Conquer the Family Restaurant Menu!

Uchi-kun: I wonder which one I should pick... I suppose the Italian hamburger.

K-chan: You ate that yesterday.

*Uchi-kun and Koyama-kun are at a family restaurant staring intently at their menus.*

Uchi-kun:How long before YamaPi gets here?

K-chan: Umm... Maybe about an hour.

*Seems like they promised to meet Yamashita-kun at this restaurant.*



Uchi-kun: I see. Then I should at least leave the dessert for when he comes.

K-chan: YamaPi is probably going to eat a meal when he comes.

*Lately, Uchi-kun has been frequenting family restaurants with Koyama-kun.*

Uchi-kun: (Excitedly) When it comes to eating, there are times when the food tastes great for no reason other than that you're in good company. For me, that person is you, K-chan."

K-chan: If that is so, come to my place (Chinese restaurant) and eat!

Uchi-kun: What are you talking about. I'm really a city person, so I don't go to restaurants deep in the mountains.

K-chan: Soubudaimae (train station) is not deep in the mountains!

*Umm, Uchi-kun's parents' house is considerably deeper in the mountains. (Laughs)*

Uchi-kun: (Happily) Okay, I've decided!

K-chan: Huh!? You're coming to my place?

Uchi-kun: Idiot! There is no way that we're going to your place when YamaPi is on his way over here. (Happily) Starting from today, I'm going to eat up everything on this family restaurant's menu!

K-chan: Excuse me!?

*What in the world is Uchi-kun saying so suddenly...*



~Part 2: Koyama-kun is Uchi-kun's Servant?~

*Come to think of it, 3 or 4 years ago, there was a television show where Cocorico's Endou-san went for the title of, "The Man Who Eats Everything on a Family Restaurants Menu in a Week." That family restaurant was opened 24 hours, so for the most part he stayed over. So, is Uchi-kun trying to do something similar?*

Uchi-kun: Every time, I have a hard time deciding because I have to look at the menu to figure out what to order. I won't be so troubled if I'm like, "Yesterday I went up to that number (the number on the menu for the meal), so what number do I start with today."

K-chan: I see your point, but how is it going to work? The menu is separated into sections by the type of food, like the appetizer section, the salad section, and so on.

Uchi-kun: That is why I am going to have you decide the best way.

K-chan: Come again?

Uchi-kun: If I have you check-off everything I eat, you can help me figure out what number to what number I should choose from on that day.

*So, wait a second. This means that Koyama-kun is going to have to make sure to keep track of everything Uchi-kun eats, and then inform him what numbers he hasn't eaten from yet so he can choose from there? That sort of sounds like...*

K-chan: What am I, your servant!

*...Looks like it.*

Uchi-kun: (Laughing) Good one! A servant for serving food. Your gag sense is right on the money.

Note from Debbie: This "gag" that Uchi-kun is laughing about does not make any sense in English. This part is supposed to be like a play on words in Japanese. "Meshi" means "food" and "meshi-tsukai" means "servant," so when K-chan said, "Am I your servant (meshi-tsukai)," Uchi-kun noticed that the word "food (meshi)" is in there and found it ironic. I hope that makes sense... Play on words are hard to explain because they have to do with the specific language.

*Koyama-kun could not laugh at all...*



~Part 3: A Menu that Fills You Right Up...?~

K-chan: So, what do you want to eat?

Uchi-kun: Like I said, you choose the number.

*Turns out that Koyama-kun is going to let Uchi-kun have his way after all.*

K-chan: Gosh, you speak so simply about the family restaurant's menu, but the sum of all the food on it easily passes over 100 different kinds. I don't have time memorizing all of them.

*It's impossible unless you take notes or something.*

Uchi-kun: Pick something that really fills me up, since it's a while before YamaPi gets here.

K-chan: Oh!

*After hearing Uchi-kun's words, Koyama-kun gives an evil grin.*

K-chan: I see... Yeah, since YamaPi is coming.

Uchi-kun: Huh!? What's going on?

K-chan: Nothing! Okay, I'm going to pick umm... Number 150-156.

Uchi-kun: Number 150-156!? Doesn't that seem really in the back?

K-chan: Don't worry about it. This section if full of stuff like different toppings and combinations.

Uchi-kun: Toppings? So it's like regular meals?

K-chan: Exactly.

*Umm, I think toppings usually have nothing to do with regular meals... Seems like there is some kind of scheme hidden behind the grin Koyama-kun gave before.*

*15 minutes later*

Waitress: Here are your orders~

Uchi-kun: (Excitedly) Yay! It's here.

*Uchi-kun began his first step in conquering the family restaurant's menu. And the noteworthy first food was...*

Waitress: Who does this Mousse Chocolate Banana Parfait go to?

K-chan: Oh, him.

Uchi-kun: What!?

*The thing that was placed right in front of him was a Mousse Chocolate Banana Parfait.*

*And...*

Waitress: The Sirloin Steak Set goes to you?

K-chan: YUP!

*In front of Koyama-kun was a delicious looking Sirloin Steak Set.*



K-chan: Let's eat!

Uchi-kun: WAIT A SECOND!

K-chan: What?

Uchi-kun: (Hysterical) What is going on!? Where is my meal?

K-chan: That is the number you ordered.

Uchi-kun: You're supposed to pick a meal!

K-chan: Meal? You didn't say anything about a meal. You just said something that fills you up.

*That's true.*

Uchi-kun: This is going to fill me up!?

K-chan: It will fill you up. Chocolate parfait surprisingly holds in your stomach.

Uchi-kun: "Fills up" and "holds" are completely different!

*So basically, Uchi-kun, who tried to do something a little mean to Koyama-kun, got something mean done to him.*

K-chan: Don't worry, you can order again when YamaPi gets here. I'll order for you again at that time.

Uchi-kun: NO! You're going to order dessert again right?

K-chan: You can tell?

Uchi-kun: (In tears) LET ME EAT A MEAL!



*The tables completely got reversed (?) between the two of them... But to say the least, everything would have been fine if he just ordered for himself from the beginning. (Bitter smile)*

Hope you liked the episode. (.^___^.) I remember watching the TV show in Japan where Cocorico's Endou-san was trying to eat everything on the menu.
