Japanese Overload...
So I did one more because I have no self control even though I should have gone to bed oh...5 hours ago? Thank gosh for coffee. This one is a translation of an article bit from Inrock Magazine that I found on hooplamagnet which is the best community ever...
Okay so I was on a roll so I translated the Inrock magazine article above. My brain's fried so it's a bit messy but I wanted to post it before sleeping so...
ギャラクシー級スーパー・スター遂に日本上陸!!!!
Finally the Galaxy's first ranked superstar is landing in Japan!
全米視聴率No.1番組「アメリカン・アイドル」が生んだ最大の衝撃、アダム・ランバートが遂に日本へやってきた！
The big shock that the number one rated American audition show 'American Idol' produced, Adam Lambert, is finally coming to Japan!
全米視聴率No.1番組「アメリカン・アイドル」が生んだ最大の衝撃！と謳われ、今世界中から最も熱い注目を一身に受けている規格外超大型新人、アダム・ランバート！アダムがその人気テレビ番組に初めて登場したのが去年の2月、そして去年夏に同番組で見事準優勝を飾り、11月には全米アルバム・チャート堂々初登場3位でアルバム・デビューを果たしました。そして遂に今年3月10日、ここ日本でも待望のデビューを迎え、その直後のホワイト・デーである3月14日（日）、午前7時到着のフライトでここ日本に降臨することとなったのです。アダムは前述の通りアメリカでは11月にデビューしていますが、日本を始め全世界でのデビューは'10年春であり、まさに今、その世界的デビューを迎えるにあたってワールドワイドのプロモーション・ツアーを精力的に行っている最中なのです。日本は、オーストラリア、シンガポールに続き、プロモ・ツアーの3番目に訪れる国。去年、映画「2012」（現在DVD＆Blu-Ray発売中！エクストラ版とBlu-rayにはアダムの「ミラクルズ」のミュージック・ビデオが収録）のエンディングテーマを担当し、その時点で受けたインタビューでは“行ってみたい国は日本！”と日本の名を一番に挙げてくれるほど、来日前から贔屓にしてくれている国でもあります。初来日をとても楽しみにしていたアダムですが、そんなアダムの初来日を熱烈歓迎しようと成田空港に早朝集まってくださったファンのみなさん、その数ざっと1000人！そのほとんどのみなさんが、“アメリカン・アイドルの予選で初めて見たときから応援してます！”という本当に長い間この瞬間を待ち望んできた方々ばかり！実は私も去年個人的に「アメリカン・アイドル」を見ていて、アダムのパフォーマンスにはさすがに圧倒されっぱなしでした。あのアダムが…いよいよ、いよいよ、この地に降りてくる!!
It's been clearly expressed that he is the biggest shock (like in the positive make a big splash sense) that the number one rated American audition show 'American Idol' produced, this outside the norms extra-large newcome who is now receiving extremely feverish attention from throughout the world is Adam Lambert!
Adam first appeared on that popular television program in February of last year, and in the summer of last year on that same program he was decorated as the admirable runner up, in November he released his debut album which first hit the American album charts triumphantly at around number three.
And finally on March 10th of this year, here in Japan as well, his long awaited debut was welcomed, and on the White Day (*Japanese holiday) immediately following that, March 14th, on a flight arriving at 7pm, he descended to Japan!
Adam, as mentioned above, debuted (the album) in November in America, but, in spring of 2010, in Japan is the debut of his first world wide (album), now, naturally, he is right in the middle of an energetic world wide promotion to promote (*lit. receive welcome for) that world debut (album).
Following Australia and Singapore, Japan is the third country visited on his promo tour.
Last year, he was responsible for the ending theme of the movie 2012 (Now out on DVD & Blu-ray! On the special addition and blu-ray Adam's 'Miracles' music video is included), in an interview at the time (he said), "the country I want to go to is Japan!", so even before arriving in Japan this country received his favour to the extent that he fully rated the Japanese reputation as the best!
Adam was really looking forward to first arriving in Japan but (connotation him being surprised with the outcome) the people who gathered in the early morning at Narita International Airport for a passionate welcome for Adam's arrival numbered roughly a thousand people!
Most of those people claimed "I've been rooting for you since I first saw you in the American Idol preliminary rounds!" and for a really long time they had just been waiting and hoping for this moment.
The truth is, I personally also watched American Idol last year, and Adam's performance, as expected, was still overwhelming.
More and more, and more and more, Adam is descending to this world!
