Super Junior's message - Super Show 2 DVD
This has probably been translated somewhere else before, but I wanted to give it a go since I really enjoyed the message and the dvd itself.
This is not a translation from Korean. I bought the original dvd and it came with Japanese subtitles too. Please keep in mind I translated this message from the subtitles. I wrote them all by myself and it took me quite a long time to rewrite them and to translate.
Please, if you use this, credit me or at least let me know.
Since I've been translating since August this year and I'm still a newbie ( even if I've been studying Japanese for almost 4 years ) any comment / feedback it's really appreciated. Especially if you find any mistake!
I divided the original speech line by line, member by member ; I couldn't do this for my translation.
Why ? Because I changed the order of the sentences different times - I wanted the message to be as much "fluent" as possible in English.

ENGLISH :
"Now, here, exchanging love with us :
neesan (older women), imouto (younger women), niisan (older men), all these friends*...
We are Super Junior, those who can't stop loving you all.
It's been already 4 years since we've been together...
In these 4 years, are Super Junior changed ?
First of all, the members' number increased, and as years passed by, even the appearance changed a little...
We've become adults, right?
And, what are the things that didn't change?
What was that...
Passion?
Friendship?
More than anything, our hearts, thinking about all of you.
Now, in this place, there are people that supported us since our trainees' days,there are people that became our fans watching our debut stage, but we think that here today there are also people that came to see us for the first time.
But whenever and wherever you met Super Junior for the first time, more than that, right now !
The hearts of all of you, loving Super Junior, caring about us, are more important than anything else.
Of course, we are carrying a gratitude that words can't express, for all those of you that came to see us.
Every single person, holding hands, meeting eyes, we want to thank you and greet you.
The people loving Super Junior that are here now, we call them ELF.
Elf! Elf! All of you Elf!
Names, ages, faces, the places were you live may all be different, but, loving Super Junior, and having such a big heart, we know that's the same ( for everyone ).
Of course, 4 years before and now too, these hearts, thinking about all of you, didn't change.
We have a special code to understand each other, right?
Exactly, our balloons' color is
Pearl
Sapphire
Blue.
On stage, seeing all pearl sapphire blue balloons in front of our eyes, there isn't a more precious view in our life, and we're enclosed in such emotion.
We are really grateful to all of you Elf, for giving us such a deep emotion.
And, we love you!
Even though our debut stage back in 6/11/2005 was the most scaring and trembling place in the world, now, 7/2009, this stage that all of you came to see, more cheerful than anything else, and full of hopes of happiness, became the place most similar to Super Junior and the place Super Junior love the most in the world.
Today, we're going to give to all of you, as a present, the happiest time ever!
To all of you that always cheered on us
We love you
Who are you all? Who ?
Elf
Elf neesan*
Mr./Mrs./Ms. Elf
We, for Elf** are "Super Junior" ! "
Notes:
* neesan, niisan, imouto : I didn't translate these words in English because there's not a perfect translation imho. By saying "older sisters/women", for example, they're referring to all the older girls in the audience : same as saying "Nuna" in Korean.
** Literally, this is "We are Super Junior for Elf's sake " .
