Ikemen no Tsuushin: Character Profiles!
Hi. I'm back with another attempt at translating. This time, it's the profiles of the whole ikemen cast in the special section of the official website. The title of the section is called Ikemen no Tsuushin. It's the link that has the image of the three dorm leaders. I don't know how to lift the text from the pop-ups that appear when you click on a character (it so turns out that the text are bits of images and I'm lazy to type in the japanese words myself), so I'll only be posting my translation.
Update: I've put up the profiles of the main trio - Maki, Shun, and Toma.
First off is Ashiya Mizuki, played by the one and only Horikita Maki.
Name: Horikita Maki
Character's Full Name/Dorm: Ashiya Mizuki / Dorm 2
Birthdate: October 6, 1988
Blood Type: B
Zodiac Sign: Libra
Birthplace: Tokyo
Liked Food: Yoghurt (haha, this must be why she took those lotte yoghurt commercials)
Disliked Food: Shellfish
Type of person you like(opposite or same sex): someone cute
Favorite word/s:
'Deliberate in council, decisive in action'
Favorite sports (playing and watching): playing - basketball; watching - soccer
Music you often listen to/Favorite artist: EXILE
Fashion style: instinctively, I wear whatever I feel is fated for me (this is really what it says, not unless I got it wrong ^^. I guess she puts on the first thing she sees or rather she lets her instinct decide what suits her best. It's hard to pick the right words...)
Best Subject: History
Pastime: cleaning, shopping or meeting with friends
Hobbies/Skills: reading/being able to sleep anywhere
Please appeal for your character's role: I aim to work hard to be a character that can be loved by males and even females.

Edit: Maki's favorite word added. Thanks for the help, ms./mr. anonymous. But it would be great if you could give me your name, so I can thank you properly.

Update.
Next, we have Ikuta Toma, a.k.a. Nakatsu. I am biased, yes, so his profile's next.
Name: Ikuta Toma
Character's Full Name/Dorm: Nakatsu Shuichi/Dorm 2
Birthdate: October 7, 1984 (if you haven't noticed, please look at Maki's birthday)
Blood Type: A
Zodiac Sign: Libra
Birth place: Hokkaido
Food liked: Hamburger (meat with no bun) o.O
Food disliked: Shellfish (coincidence that he shares the same dislike as Maki?)
Type of person you like(opposite or same sex): one who can greet properly
Favorite word/s: tamashi (soul/spirit)
Favorite sports (playing and watching): soccer
Music you often listen to/Favorite artist: rock/HIDE (is he referring to that Hyde??)
Fashion syle: anything comfortable
Best subject: P.E. (lol)
Pasttime: walking my dog
Hobbies/Skills: watching stage plays, music appreciation/mostly being able to talk to any person
Please appeal for your character's role: I'm a soccer and friend-loving but somewhat goofy guy.
(right on! but that's too much friend-loving you're doing, Nakatsu...)
Grr to JE's strange policy about photos. I had to add that small pic of the live Nakatsu at the bottom right so it would at least conform to the format of the other profiles. Also, if you check out the profile itself on the official website, you'll see that while the others wrote their answers in their own handwriting, Toma's was typewritten. What now? Is Johnny even banning people from wanting to see his talent's handwriting online? Could it be he's afraid of forgery of some sort?
Edit: >_< changed 1904 to 1984.
Edit 2: Elaborated on hamburger.

Here's Shun's profile:
Name: Oguri Shun
Character's Full Name/Dorm: Sano Izumi/Dorm 2
Birthdate: December 26, 1982 (right after christmas day eh?)
Blood Type: O
Zodiac Sign: Capricorn
Birth place: Tokyo
Food liked: curry, ramen, moyashi (bean sprouts), gyuuhi (Turkish delight)
Food disliked: nothing
Type of person you like(opposite or same sex): energetic
Favorite word/s: tarikihongan (according to the dictio, it means 'to rely upon others for attaining one's own objective', also 'salvation by faith in Amida Buddha')
Favorite sports (playing and watching): play - baseball; watch - basketball
Music you often listen to/Favorite artist: rock
Fashion syle: nothing
Best subject: national language
Pasttime: drinking sake, sleeping
Hobbies/Skills: bicycles
Please appeal for your character's role: When Sano failed once, he was unable to do anything, but from hereon please watch over him as he recovers himself (note: this is a loose translation)
Lol. I also want to say that Shun's handwriting is kinda messy, so I couldn't read some words.
Edit: Clarified gyuuhi (maybe).

I admit that I may make mistakes in my translation. Also, do tell me if you spot any mistakes in translation or typos in english. I'm doing this to practice my japanese and it's fun to share things you know, don't you think? Please tell me if you want me to continue with the other profiles. Well, bye for now.
