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."
