Translation: TV Life Premium 2012 April, Special Column by KikuchiP

[faiee]

This is from here. I’m not sure what the background is, but I think it was from a special column in TV Life Premium, the April edition in 2012. This is written by KikuchiP, the producer of SDK. I really liked this article, so here's a translation of it.

Thank you soo much...it makes me teary and happy^^
It is so touching I hope they will continue for ever and ever I can't imagine a life without SDK.^^

They are surely the best Kansai stars out there (with Kanjani) fufu^^

[faiee]

ikr! i found it really touching too <333

totally overflowing with love for them. I'm hoping SDK goes on forever too <333

Really glad to see this translated.
Aww, mentioning kansai-ben and silently inquisitive Kou-chan XD

[faiee]

i really liked the way he wrote the article. he really watched them grow up. i think all the little anecdotes made it cute and touching

Thank you for translating it, I'm deeply moved while reading it.
KikuchiP & Yoshida Ken have been with KinKi since LLA, so glad you translated this.

Btw, I think you already knew about SDK renewal.
I'm curious, because reading the report from fans that attending yesterday SDK recording, looks like KikuchiP unusually give a speech at the end, saying something about music show is in winter era? and don't want SDK to end, so asked everyone to support SDK more?
Somehow I feel insecure *-*

[faiee]

Yup, that's exactly what I read too... I'm also feeling a little insecure about it and I guess it's also why I was so touched when a Japanese fan retweeted this today. There's really nothing we can do but to support them?

They're obviously trying out a whole bunch of new things to see what works - since seems to have quite stuck after they stopped Ichimon Ittou. I'm just hoping they find a great corner soon too <3 We'll just have to trust them. /crosses fingers.

[nara_tree]

Yup, I believe each effort is a gold.
and yeah, There's really nothing we can do but to support & trust them ｡◕‿◕｡

Thank you for the translation, it was very interesting.
There is no doubt that LLA really shaped KinKi Kids to what they are today. It gave them the opportunity to learn a lot of things from a lot of people who were at the top of their profession, both in front and behind the camera.

I agree, I also think it's interesting he calls Koichi 'Kou-chan' and yet Tsuyoshi is Tsuyoshi-san (and not Tsuyoshi-kun).
Have you noticed Tsuyoshi usually calls him Koichi or Koichi-kun (and the infamous Koichi-san when he's scolding Koichi XD)? It seems like the Kou-chan is reserved to special occasions.

I only have one thing to correct - it's not Yamada Takuro, it's Yoshida Takuro :) I'm sure you knew that already so I'm guessing it's just a typo.

[faiee]

/face palms. WHAT WAS I THINKING. okay obviously not thinking f^_^;)

The boys were very lucky huh? (: I'm glad though. Things could've been soo different!

Right! I think tsuyoshi uses koichi-San when addressing him directly... But he generally says 'omae' unless he's scolding him XD he only seems to use kou-chan when he's channeling fans' emotions... Like Kou-chan! Ai wa power dayo~~! Lols. Which made his kou-chan tsuyo-chan flowers for iitomo extra cut XD

awww... I couldn't agree more! I am so thankful that KinKi Kids have people like KikuchiP who see them for who they are and give them the freedom to just be themselves. SDK saikou!

[faiee]

I agree!!! ♡ I love sdk too!
