One of the reason why I started a journal of my own is because I want to give my little "contribution" back to the community. After reading other people's journals for over 2 years now, I'm absolutely amazed by how many dedicated fans subbing out there that are talented and generous at the same time. Talented enough to understand perfectly what they are talking about. Generous enough to translate them for fans who are clueless like me. Talent + Generous = AWESOMENESS!
So here, I want to say THANK YOU for those who dedicated their time + effort subbing anything smap related. YOU ROCK!! Honestly, you brought me closer to them with every sub videos you've made. I can't express how much that means to me.
From my previous post, I've mentioned I learned Japanese before in high school. That was...quite some time ago...so I forgot most of it :( It's sad, I know. If I knew I would be a smap fan later down the road, I would have paid more attention in class. I can understand only the basics, but nothing beyond that. That is why I feel helpless every time I see fans recruiting for a translator. I really want to help, but my Japanese is too limited. I'm trying to pick it back up again so hopefully someday....
As you can tell, I'm not very good at writing either. I might have put you to sleep by now. I work better with images and lately, there has been TOO MANY (not that I'm complaining) smap and captain's photos everywhere! I love starring at them and the best way to do so is to have them as my wallpaper on screen. So here are some I've created. Feel free to take :)
Amazing close-up of captain except the original has a crease on his shoulder because it's a full spread image. Couldn't bear the crease, so I took it out the minute I saw it. Hope it added more to his perfectness ~ Sorry I couldn't get those scan noise marks off the image. This is the best image I could find...(use fill screen mode for wallpaper)
MF Combined an old smap ad for pocari sweat soft drink. (use fit to screen)
MF Cute & casual captain. Added an extra seat on the right to help balance him out on my screen :) (use fit to screen)
MF Note: I design these base on my screen & resolution size. I'm using a 13 inch macbook pro . There are different selections for wallpapers on macs - "fill screen" and "fit to screen". Play around with it to see which one fits better with the image. For PC users, I'm sure there are options similar to this as well. The size of each wallpaper varies since I download images from everywhere. Anyway, hope they work for you and enjoy :)
