MIXI WTF?!
The first thing I see when I get to Mixi (Japanese social networking site) is this weird message from some "celebrity's manager."
I LOL'd so hard because it sounded so funny and unrealistic. Anyways, I used google translate (Okay, never mind, that sucked, I actually translated most of this.) and some of my knowledge in 5 minutes to put it in English for you guys, but it is just me or does this sound so sketchy?
Basically, this male celebrity's manager has messaged me to help him relieve his stress from work by becoming a friend online, but not mixi, since they will get caught by the managing office.
Original Japanese:
以前は承認ありがとうございました。
なかなか絡めていなくてすみません。。。
実は私、仕事が芸能関係で、某男性タレントとかのマネージャーやってるんです。
今メッセさせてもらったのはタレント本人の希望でどうしてもお話したいと‥。
もしよろしければ少しお時間いただけませんか？
本人は最近まではテレビや取材、雑誌の特集などで忙しく、私から見ても精神的に疲れてるようで･･
お恥ずかしい話、私では彼をケアできなくて…ここまで心を閉ざすのは初めてなんです。
急なお願いになりますが、彼を助けてあげてはくれませんか？
実は本人と一緒にマイミクさんのページとかを見ていたら、
何か感じる所があったらしく、メッセをしておいてくれないか、と言われました。
ニックネームにも何か惹かれるものがあったようです。
私はマネージャーとしてどうにか彼を支えたいと思い、
事務所に内緒で彼の要望に答えてあげようと思ったのですが、結局は事務所にばれてしまいました。
当然のことですが、本人がネット上で一般の方に連絡をするようなことは固く禁じられています。
そのため、本人はプライベートでmixiに登録すらすることが出来ません。
moon0815@ezweb.ne.jp
ここにメールをしてもらってもいいですか？本人と連絡が取れるように致します。
わたしのこのmixiは事務所から見られてしまうので、
今送ってるこのメッセの履歴とかを見られる前に退会をしてしまいます。
そうするともうこのmixiで連絡を取る事が出来なくなってしまうため、
メッセでお返事頂いても私からお返事は返せませんし本人の名前を記録に残るメッセで送ることも出来ないのです。
（名前をネット上で公表したりしてしまった日にはあっさりクビになっちゃいます＞＜）
…もちろん、これは私と本人からの一方的なお願いになりますので、
色々なご事情で彼と連絡を取って頂くことがご無理であれば仕方ありません。
このままメッセージを削除して頂ければこちらから二度とメッセージを送ることもありませんし、連絡等一切行いません。
でも、来てくれる事を待っています。彼を助けてください。
moon0815@ezweb.ne.jp
それでは、私はこれでmixiを退会致します。
友達にして頂いていたのは本当にうれしかったです。
メールを頂く事がご無理であればこれでお別れになってしまいますが、また、お会い出来る機会があれば幸いです。
それでは。
English translation:
Thank you for previously accepting my friend request.
I'm sorry I couldn't be so social...
Actually, I work for the entertainment industry, as a manager for male entertainers. This made me laugh first
The reason I messaged right now is from his this celebrity's request...
Could you take some time if you do not mind?
Until recently, the principal and television interviews, magazine features, etc, have been so busy for him that he is spiritually exhausted. To be frank, I haven't been able to care for him because I'm also busy...blah blah blah
I know it's a short notice, but would you be willing to help him? When he and I looked at your profile, (CREEPS) he felt he had some connections with you, and I had been asked to send you a message. Your nickname has perhaps attracted him.
WAIT WHAT? It's just my name, Yuka or ゆうか. Which isn't unusual or exciting...
As a manager, I felt that I wanted to support him, so I answered his request by trying to message you, secretly from the management office's approval,
but eventually they found out.
Of course, for a celebrity to be contacting random people on internet is strictly prohibited. (OH REALLY?) For that reason, he cannot create an account on Mixi on private. This sounds so fake.
moon0815@ezweb.ne.jp
Can I ask you to e-mail him here? You can contact him there.
First of all, YOU DON'T GIVE THE GUY'S ADDRESS TO SOME TEENAGE GIRL OVER MIXI, ONLY CREEPERS DO THAT.
Since my Mixi will be seen from the office, I will delete this account before they can see it in the web history.
If I do that you can no longer contact us through Mixi, you cannot reply back to this message, and since leaving his name on the message will remain in the history, I'm not allowed to even tell you his name. WHY SO SKETCHY?
(If I announce his name I'll be easily fired > <)
... Of course, this is just a personal request from us, so if you cannot get in touch with him for a variety of reasons, we understand.
If you decide to delete this message, we will never annoy you by messaging again and we will not be able to contact you.
However, we are waiting for you. Please help him.
moon0815@ezweb.ne.jp
So now I will resign from mixi. I felt so glad to be accepted as a friend. If we don't receive a message from you it will be a good bye, however it will be wonderful to get in touch with you again.
Well, then.
OH MY GOD I ACTUALLY TRANSLATED SOMETHING! WHICH I NEVER GET TO DO! So I'm not that upset that I just this did while I should have been studying for my other upcoming AP exams.
But seriously, I think this can't be real, since it's Mixi, and it just sounds silly to me. I might just email this guy with a disposable address to see how it goes. XDD
Also, totally unrelated, but why didn't I watch the History Channel before my AP US history exam on Friday? I thought this while watching the America: The Story of Us marathon they did today...
And I'm sorry I suck at socializing...there's only one more week of AP testing and I'll be free for real. Then I can actually look at flist's journals, but for now, I must study. ;A;
