Translation: start
I am learning Japanese for a few years now, I still have so many things to learn, but a good way to improve my Japanese is to translate things, so I started. I like Anli Pollicino a lot, so I thought I could start with them. My first translation will be Masatoshi-san's post, the one were he answers questions for fans. There were some blank spots in my weak translation ^^, so, please feel free to correct me!! ^^
I preferred to write every time they say "san" or "kun", because this way it's more easy to see if they are using a polite way of addressing.
the parts written like this are the parts were I explain something or say things.... >.>
well, then....hope enjoy. :)
and of course a gazillion of thanks go to hystericalhyena and unihiko from Anli Pollicino community, they helped me a lot with the translation, and for a an accurate translation please go anlipollicino.livejournal.com/
Blog translation: Masatoshi 13.05.2011
Oissu.
I kept you waiting for a long.
No, I am not sure whether you waited... [laughs]
Because I wasn't home, I am late with the post. I am sorry.
Now let's answer the questions slowly.
- Please let us know, if some incidents happened between the members. (^o^)
There were so many, what should I talk about.
Well, we spent a long time together in the European tour.
Just in studios and at lives, you can't imagine, but it was fun (interesting). [laughs]
- Did you made a present for mother's day?
- Please teach me the scale of the 1,2,3, 4-strings.
I wish there was someone to teach me that too. [laughs] The knowledge of the scale increased a little from old days, but I still have more to learn. First of all, how the scale is "root (the basic sounds of the chord) sounds is important. First, I think you should search for sound that gives you the right feeling.
Since even me, who hardly knows the scale at all, have managed to have some band activity, right [laughs]
First, search the sound by ear. When you copy it, copy at least the roots!If you can do that, you can train your sense of pitch to become a bassist that doesn't need scores (´∀｀) Me too, there are times when I don't use a score.
- During live, is there something you do to catch the attention?~(・∀・)
That answer is too off, so...
If you're occasionally not headbanging yourself, how about looking at my head banging?
- With this image change you became black pineapple, but did you said "I want to look like this～(・∀・)?
First, with the pineapple I was l “samurai image” is good right? But just that, isn't it lonely? So it took the form of extensions attack.
- Masa-san doesn't have the image of a person who loves animals, but do animals give you a feeling of dislike?
No, I love them. I like very much dogs (^ω^) and cats(*´Д｀*) too. Until just recently, at Yo-1's place, I played with Baron-kun. (Yo-1's dog) Miniature Daches are seriously justice.
- What shampoo are you using?('∀'*)
Don't girls know better? [laughs] (and he put the image of DOVE)
- It's a bit sudden, but do you like Minami Akina-san? (I sooo don't know who is she>.>)
Oh, why? I think she is cute! However, we might not be a perfect match(;´∀｀). Ah, but she is cute!
- In “Slave machine” what is Masatoshi-san saying ?
I think it is:
Shout fuck words x2
Your soul is dead x2
Slave or King, Slave or Queen
Brave or coward x2
- Tell us if there was an amusing episode during the photographing for the official photo?
Takuma-kun's explanation about how he felt while wearing tights was amusing, but I feel sorry for him so I'll keep it hidden. [laughs]
- When the members saw Masatoshi-san's new hair style, how did they react? And what did Masatoshi-san thought about other members new hair style & make up?
-I, sincerely, had a feeling I was just laugh at. [laughs]
-About Takuma-kun again, but his lips are amazing, right.
-
· Please tell us the vocaloid song and anime song Masatoshi would like to copy!
Vocaloid: I copied "Imitation black".
Tiger Rampage,it doesn't have a very major feeling, but the bassline is godsent. (this is not the complete answer, but that's really all I could understand, and that with help, of course... oh but I learned that anison means anime song...
well if you want to know the the rest of the answer go to Anli Pollicino comunity^^)
- When you were little, what nicknames give you your family and friends(~つ~)? And, also, what kind of child were you?
What is with that kind of smiley! (~つ~). (I could swear when I read it first that he was talking about himself, he's hilarious)
Well, I think a lot of people called me Maa-kun. And after that it was Potato.[laughs] (?! Please someone, tell I got it wrong >.<.no, but in the end, I got it right) It seems I was a child who got hurt easily. I liked Mini 4WD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_4WD) a lot.
- Frankly, how should be the type of girl Masa-san likes? Personality and appearance. ※ except for two-dimensional (what about the last part?!)
Eeh, two-dimensional?(´_ゝ｀) (well I think he didn't get it either^^)
With a calm personality, in a good meaning simple person! I not good with noisy people.(first I translated as "I don't like noisy people", but then, I think it's to radical and he didn't say sukijanai...so.. it turned out this way.)A person without a flashy appearance.
- Have you thought of having a concert at Takamatsu?
Regardless Japan or overseas I like Anli.
I want to go wherever there are people that think that way. Someday I would like to do a national tour, even among members were talking about that. We will definitely do it. Damn it!
- Do you like the foreigners?
What is with this question... [laughs]
Japanese or foreigner does not matter much,right. [excluding the differences in language and culture] If it's the person you like, after all don't you like it no matter what?
- During lives, do you ever look at a girl and think that she is cute? (oh… so curios)
Hmm… no(^ω^;). When guests (fans) come I always think “Oh…they came”, but I am not the kind of man who sits and stares at someone.
- All the way from a Hokkaido live, if you notice me, could you fuck me? w
Ehh, fuck you..! That's... (;゜д゜)
I'll think about it if you give your personal statement (laugh)…. (OMG....here really, it wouldn't even cross my mind that she/he would ask something like this, I just got the first part of the question and the last part of the answer, so yeah the most important part it's thanks to hystericalhyena ...ohh I laugh so much on this one *rolling over the floor*)
- Which is your favorite food made by your mother?
Uh, I just hate the mushroom soup. [laughs] If I had to say, then I think fried. (chicken)
- How is Masatoshi-san called at home?
Mother: anta (you, but feminine way of saying it), father: omae (you, but manly way of saying it) I haven't been called by my name for a long time.
- What kind of present would make you happy?
Eh, don't I get happy whatever I receive! But, it's bad if it's something very expensive.(TдT)
- Please tell me, what is your favorite condiment?
You're laughing too much! Yuzukoshō! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuzukoshō) Only this I can't give up!!
- The set list at live is interesting. I think the members decide it together, but what do you think it's the most important when you decide?
Lately, I think the “force” and the “tension”. But sometimes we try some “surprise elements” too. Isn't surprise important?(´∀｀)
- Warwick and Spector, double maine? (oh, I still have so much to learn,I totally didn't get this one)
Please, tell me what your first impression was, and the reason you chose them.
Warwick: "I want a 5-string" (Pucca-kun) and I found him. (well...I just got the part where he entered a cafe, calms down and after that buys Pucca...if you want to know the rest, I bet you know where to find it ^^)
- Do you have something close, other the music relate, that you cherish?
(a cute plush http://ameblo.jp/ap-masa69/image-10890715727-11226020720.html) This guy is my telephone strap. If you speak about some close thing, then I think he is.
It seems that I don't have much time. The first answers are these, sorry for to drag on.I'll write at midnight, so look forward for it tomorrow morning!
To be continue
well that's it for today...
