Call for Japanese translation aid: messages from Arakawa!

[bob_fish]

Many of you will have been aware of the awesomely awesome official FMA tribute site that went up this awesome, with fan messages to the characters and marvellous new sketches from Arakawa. I checked this back recently and found that it had been updated with textless wallpaper versions of the sketches - and with messages from Arakawa herself for

I WANT TO KNOW TOO! If I didn't have all kinds of things to do, I'd try to translate myslf as a fun project--which, since I read zero Japanese, would take forevr and would surely be wrong. Maybe the kanji could be copied from an online dictionary and pasted into Google Translate, for a vague idea of what the messages say? LOL.

THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME. I will spare you my raptures on the subject of the 520 cenz promise, but I'm sure you can imagine them quite well. XD

[a_big_apple]

XD Yes, indeed I can! I'm just having raptures all over again about Fuery and Armstrong, and Ed and Al looking all grown up and so f-ing handsome in their sketch, let alone what the messages say!

[bob_fish]

They are gorgeous, aren't they? Ed looks so moody, though, I want to make him grin like my icon!

Aw, he's just thinking about how now he's gonna have to share food with Al, who clearly has an Elric appetite of his own.

It's funny though, how Ed looks grown up, but because we've seen his progress the whole time, he also still looks like the tough little kid he was in the beginning...but Al was such a sudden change that he looks even more grown up, like he just went from teeny boy to man in a snap. It makes me oddly sad that Trisha doesn't get to see them like this.

I think Al's food-stealing abilities would be pretty good. And Ed probably got out of practice at defending his food from theft, all those years.

Al has a slightly longer face that makes him more classically handsome? Ed stays slightly round-faced and big-eyed, although he's clearly ALL MAN his face does have this slightly more androgynous quality than Al's? They are both of course hot stuff in their different ways of deliciousness.

Yeah, Ed's rounder face keeps him looking younger, I think. I wish I was a better artist, I'd draw the two of them all the time if it came easier to me!
