Myojo September 2009 Rough Translations
It's been a while, and I've been lacking something to do lately. I don't know if someone's translated these already or not...but if they have been, I'm doing them again. XD Slowly, the rest will be added.
EDIT: It's all complete now, so just wanted to say thanks to everyone that commented, because it really was greatly appreciated...and it made me work all the faster :D
When it gets hot, everyone gets nervous, right? KAT-TUN
Loose summer, summer's winning fortune
Watching the sun creates a happy feeling. No matter how small things are, when you shake things up, it'll become a loose summer. Running, swimming, laughing...talk about things that make them nervous, so listen.

Surely now, my room is the world's messiest room! (What's to be proud of?). Yesterday night~, even though I slept together with Sakura (pet dog), when I woke up in the morning, before I knew it, she snuck away from the bed, and was looking in the garbage. Inside the room, there are torn tissues and scattered garbage...it becomes something horrible. But even though it's annoying to clean up, I can't just leave it just like that. Sometimes I think about when mom will come over and clean. Because, I can't do things like housework. When I try do do things properly, I can do things like replacing Sakura's toilet sheet. I like it when Sakura is clean so, it's bad when the toilet is dirty right? When I clean up my own mess, it feels the same was as when I'm cleaning Sakura's toilet*.
*NOTE: Obviously, Sakura doesn't get her own toilet, the same as a humans, I don't think. I think...he's trying to say that the place where she uses the toilet...whatever those are called.
You know, summer limits us. All year round, I'm a very loose kind of man*. The reason for this is so I don't have to worry about taking off clothes. When I come home, during summer or winter, I'm PANICHI (Only wearing underpants). Some people find PANICHI weird. Once, a friend's girlfriend came over and I said, "I don't wear troublesome clothing, so I'm going to undress~." But anyways, I still undressed. I take off my T-shirt, pants, and socks. I put too much into the laundry machine that it wouldn't spin and stopped. Ah, but sock are Sakura's toys, so I take them off and just like that Sakura will play with them. And so the other day, I carried my socks over to Sakura who put them into the laundry machine. This sort of thing she's able to do with my socks, it always amazes me...And so, the problem with washing is the bathroom, which nev~er kept dry. For instance, the laundry would be dried there, and so the the state of the bathroom is just like that. The point is, that the problem with the laundry is that it's wet, right? And so, when I enter the bathtub, it's okay just like that. Is that something a foreigner would do? Ah, I just remembered! The light bulb for the toilet** is to be changed about once a month, but I still haven't had to replace it yet! Hm? It's my own house's problem, but the door to the toilet is left open, but it's fine.
*NOTE: When he says loose, I think he's trying to say he's messy
**NOTE: He uses the word "Toilet" a lot, but I think he's using it interchangeably with how we'd call a bathroom..well, a bathroom. If I'm still being misunderstood, solo____ made a great point, that in Japanese apartments/houses, there is a separate room for the toilet from the actual bathing area, and that area is what he means.
In relation to food, I think I'm pretty messy too. The area around my mouth always has something stuck to it. I'm not good at eating. But, even if I have rice stuck on my face, I feel happiness. Because, after you eat a hamburger, wouldn't sauce get on your face? And so, after I eat, that delicious flavor you can taste once again, right? If you want to know who I heard it from, Ishi-chan (Ishizuka Hidehiko) also says the same thing. Haha...

I like...summer. Within a year, it is certainly one of the Best 4*(laugh). Because you know, on the other hand, doesn't it increase the amount of skin women would show? For a girl wearing a camisole, you'd want to "accidentally" peep at her cleavage, or if she wore short pants and you could see more of her legs, that's when I think, ”Ah~ this year's summer has come~." Like this my heart jumps~♪ This is my theory, but girls that wear less absolutely look more cute! Everyone, summer is about being lightly dressed.
*Note: I think he means, it's the best of the 4 seasons.
Because of the summer's heat, I don't have the will to do anything, its' not like I'm lazily spending time though. Summer is the best. It raises tension and makes people energetic (or more active). You can go to the beach, scream and make noises with friends, swim, eat good food, drink, and maybe even surf. A date at the beach would be good too. If I went with the person I like, but I think that I probably won't do anything except look at the ocean. We wouldn't swim. Isn't it good just it being the two of us? This summer I have yet to go to the beach, but before this, with 3 friends, I went to a huge leisure land. There, you can play various different games. This year, with all of becoming adults, playing games felt like we were in a dream, that sort of feeling. Somehow it was extre~mely fun. Since I really hate to lose, if I wasn't first in all the games, I wouldn't like it. I was 2nd in the Car Race game, still not, it's regrettable...The one with the lowest rank would have a punishment game, even though I was the one to drive them back, we set up rules, and I still placed 1st in bowling. Thanks to that, I had lots of fun, I returned home happily~♪
When I was a kid, with my family every year during summer vacation, we would go on a trip. Zushi*? Where was it...maybe Izu. In the afternoon we'd swim, and at night we'd go to the onsen. The thing that was the most fun was the Banana Boat. Ah~, somehow it seems like so long ago that I don't want to ride it anymore. But, it's not just playing around, I properly did my homework too. When summer vacation is over, before the last day, I'd hurry to straighten out things, but however, I'd be just in time for the opening ceremony. In elementary school, or middle school's I wouldn't get less than 1 month of summer vacation~. At the time, there wasn't anything different. Everyday was spent playing, but becoming an adult and thinking back on it, isn't that great? I'm extremely jealous! Even now if I was able to get a long summer holiday, I'd definitely go overseas. If I had a month, I'd travel to various countries. Because I work with all my might, afterwards, I also rest with as much as I can would be an ideal welcomed summer holiday! Well, it's okay if it isn't for a long period of time. Maybe just for two months...even for a child it's long (laugh).
*NOTE: Zushi..I'm assuming that's in Kanagawa

Nakamaru Yuichi
You know for me, being loose, it's not like I do that because it's bothersome or anything, but it's just like I thought...Maybe it's because of the start of the Dome Tour but, every day whether it be a rest day, or a emotionally stressful day, it's harsh. I want a relaxing holiday. Wearing a jersey, I go to the Dome. A pleasant way of doing things becomes a habit. Recently, I've only been wearing shorts. With it being summer, clothes that I wear at home is what I typically wear. I just want summer to pass. Also, though this is also the time during the Dome tour, it's become summer so the amount of times you have to shower has increased right? At the Dome concert, I bathe once in the morning, right before the live, and after the live...In one day, I'll shower 3 times. I think this is such a waste of time. Somehow, you can't reduce the number of times you shower right? That is, when you think about the reason. The result is, after using shampoo, you have to use treatment! And! With this habit, if I didn't use treatment, what would happen? Eh, then my hair in my hands would feel "stiff". I don't want that~ I'm glad my hair is short. Though it's "stiff", well whatever. No need to worry.
As for the cleaning of my room, I use a cleaning robot*. Normally, when I'm not around it'll still do those things. But, as for my own house, when I'm there I won't use it. The cleaning robot will suck in whatever is on the floor completely. Really, completely! Therefore, with the robot we move around and find things that I've dropped, and clean. Yeah, there's not real reason to use the robot. But, it'd be a waste if I didn't use it...Well, what about being eco? The air con is almost always off. When my throat begins to feel dry, I turn it on, but when I'm not around it's off. In the summer, I open the window and it feels good for 10 minutes.
*NOTE: It's got to be one of those round flat ones, right?
Even during the summer vacation, there aren't memories of just lazing around not doing much. My dad, even during vacation would still eat breakfast in the kitchen! And strictly discipline us. Ah~ But as for the summer vacation homework, I would plan to do it ahead of time...But in spite of that at the end, I'm the type to hurry through it. When I was in middle school, I would say things like "Everyone, let's do our homework!!" Some of my friends would gather together and do the homework together. But if I remember correctly, we did that for three days, and from then on played normally (laugh).

Taguchi Junnosuke
When it becomes summer, the temperature rises, all of us living people sweat a lot. But, I'm loose in all four seasons. I don't want to boast, but the first thing I do when I return home, is go straight to sit on the sofa, and not move. Also, when I sit there, I barely move. Something like..having a feeling of a back pain? Also, with it being summer, jeans are hot, so I'm PANICHI*. And then I'll drink juice, and eat, play games...Well I'll be sitting on the sofa. I didn't notice until later, but the sofa was covered with clothes. Things like jeans, chinopants, and cargo pants ended up in a pile in front of my eyes. Today also I wore chino pants* (laugh).
*NOTE: I mentioned it before, as being wearing only underpants, in Koki's :D
**NOTE: Honestly, I've got no idea what chino pants are...
I sweat a lot, so when summer comes around, I don't use sheets. It's much better, because I spread out a towel instead of a sheet to sleep on. The size of the bed is too big when having to use the towels. I use something like a box sheet so it doesn't move around too much. And so, I use part of the towel, and when I wake up in the morning, the towel is all over the place, and scrunched up together at certain parts. But it makes you feel good. Up til now, since summer limits us, why don't we all try using towels instead of sheets! They're only 1980 yen! That's what I think. Throughout the year, the sheets become sloppy...Well, whenever.
One time, I left my can of coffee in the car. The next day it shocked me because it became coffee pudding. It's because it was so hot that day. Also, what's with this season. It feels like summer has come full-blast (That's how I feel...Taguchi...). How does juice become corn soup ? Ahahaha. Since I'm talking about this, when the fridge is open, there are many items that have a label that says "Best if eaten by this date". Eck! is what I think, but I say that "I probably could still eat it..." and ignore it. Well, that's how men are.
Even now, I think this but, I think it's bothersome. During elementary school, we had a lesson at the pool. We wore swimming clothes (swim trunks), and went to school. From school we went to the pool which was quite a distance. I wore something like a bath towel poncho and happily frolicked over to the pool. But, I became sad before I was to return home. "Oh crap, I'm not wearing pants!" I'd forgotten a change of pants. With no pants on, I passed by. With the half-wet swim trunks, I hesitantly...it's not really a good memory. Well, all men are this way in the summer. It's become the biggest embarrassment since I've become an adult (laugh).

Ueda Tatsuya
Living one's life loosely is prideful. Maybe because of things like the drama I was in, and be a useless person, I'd look forward to a role like that! And in that kind of situation, if I did boxing and moved around, after practice, I would try to run away. I think that's pretty horrible. But really, at home I'm dripping with sweat. In general the way I am at home is the lower half is naked...Even with wearing pants, I don't really want to. But because it's cold, I'll wear just a T-shirt, a weird way of wearing clothes. Yeah, but when I just get out of the bath...well, no pants is normal right? Anyway, it's my way of relaxing. When I have a cold, I'll only use the dryer for my hair, but not to dry my hair, but just dry my clothes. Of course, I also don't clean. I only wash dishes and things like that in the kitchen when people come over. With this kind of useless person, I don't want my family and good friends to see that side of me.
My eating habits are bad...As much as possible I try to be careful but I do it anyways. Some food I would eat all at once*. Because of natto, it doesn't really matter how much I eat, right? Recently, I think I've been eating too much. And so once it becomes summer, I'll drink the 0 Calorie carbonated drinks. Muscle fatigue will also disappear. I'll gulp about 2 litres down...and at home, I'll eat things like crackers or cookies. Nowadays, I'll buy ingredients, but very quickly will rot~ Whenever it'll be, I'll eat these. Moreover I seemed to have taken a liking to eat dried out food.** But for now, I'll start worrying about the amount of calories in food. Things like pudding have high calories, so I should only eat one. I can eat more low calorie crackers without having to worry, and still feel satisfied. Often, I get a bad feeling after eating too much...
*NOTE: All at once meaning, in one gulp
**NOTE: Honestly Tat-chan, just sounds like you're eating expired food. XD
That's right, that's right, when wearing clothes, I wear the standard thing every day. Maybe on a date, or to a theater, the location restricts what we can wear, but I wouldn't purposely be more fashionable. At a gym, or a special event, if I wore a jersey, I'd change into my costume, right? It's only when coming and leaving right? Just like that, what I always wear would be fine. Since we're talking about that, recently, I couldn't open my dresser! Generally, I throw of clothes into the room and wear whatever I pick up. It's always the same clothes worn on rotation. But I wear yellow to black, to white, lots of monotone colors of the same clothes. I guess it doesn't seem very good. It's a good thing, a good thing~♪

Kamenashi Kazuya
Kamenashi Kazuya in the summer is considerably loose. During last year's summer, I only got about one week off, which I spent all my time at the beach. But, during that time, I only wore swim trunks. If I take a shower after getting out of the water, going for a drive, or eating, all the while I am still only wearing swim trunks. Since it is in the countryside, it's not like I'll meet anyone. To begin with, I didn't even look at myself. And so, I returned to the city the next day wearing only my swim trunks, there was a mustache that grew from all the tension that rose from being at the beach. The moment I crossed Rainbow Bridge as expected, I thought "This is bad..." (laugh). When I think back it's kind of like that time when I worked almost every day, in my Urashima Tarou phase. When I'm at home, it's even better. It has nothing to do with the seasons. Throughout the year I am just PANICHI* and sleep on the sofa. On days when I return home feeling a sense of achievement, I won't even wear pants, and will become completely naked (laugh). If friends are around, of course I'll wear my pants...But the people that come over are generally really good friends so wearing only pants is alright, for 10 minutes, only pants. I've been living like this since a long time ago. Because there are 4 brothers, when we wake up and say "Morning~", we go to the living room, and everyone is only in their underpants. And amongst all that, only mom is properly dressed and moving around
working...this sort of scene is pretty normal. Even when other people come over to the house, it's still only underpants.
*NOTE: which explained in Koki's and Taguchi's that PANICHI is only wearing underpants
This summer, one thing I'm looking forward to is the movie "Gokusen". When it is opens to the public, I absolutely want to go to the movie theater to watch it. Well, I think I want go about 100 times! Because you know, it's not everyday I'm able to watch a production with so many great actors. It's something that you definitely can't do in a drama. A lot of people will see my acting, and I want to see their reactions! And perhaps if you went to the movie theater, I might be near you all if that happens, while you were crying or laughing ♥
When it comes to summer heat, it doesn't affect me at all. Instead, during the summer I become energetic~♪ (↑From the group Unjash's Pipo-kun's impression.*) In front of my house, I'll swim with my nieces. Inflating the vinyl pool, I'd get in with the kids and joke and play around with them. Whether it be surfing or vacations abroad, there's many things I want to do this summer. But, with the nation-wide tour and practice for "DREAM BOYS", I don't think I'll have very much private time...Well, once the butai** is over in October, it'll really begin to feel like summer! When it becomes autumn,I'll go to a country where it still feels like summer~♪
*NOTE: There's no real talk about them in english...but they're a comedic group, and if you're extremely interested in figuring out who Pipo-kun is, just watch the video here and the high voiced yellow stuffed doll thing is Pipo-kun.
**NOTE: butai is referring to a stage show, and here, referring to DREAM BOYS

Kamenashi & Akanishi Respond to letters
Pleas~e give sweet whispers*
AkaKame Mail, distant ice to immortality. SP
Since Yankumi is distant ice to immortality, Akakame Mail is also distant ice to immortality. Eternally, loose assistance they continue to give. Last month was about graduation, and this month about how one appears to be. These types of people will want to read this, and so until next time, thank you.
*NOTE: "Sasayaku" means to whisper, from what I know, so I translated it to that, but in general, they're giving replies.
Yankumi, Congrats!!
”Gokusen", that is becoming hot ♥Report
All of you guys!! Kamenashi made a stage appearance at "Gokusen THE MOVIE” (Nation-wide Toho studio movie screening) which is only natural, right? Have you seen it yet? Planned to? Haven't seen it yet? Watch it 100 times!! During the private showing, Kamenashi said "Since Season 2, 4 years have passed, so hasn't he become somewhat of an adult? That's what I thought" with confidence stood and talked about the movie. Yankumi also with this said 'farewell'. "This is the last time our teacher addresses us. " (Kamenashi) During production, up til now, there have many many students that appeared. What's this...? What about Akanishi who plays Hayato? "Eh~Eh~ um, he's studying abroad" (Akanishi) "Again?" (Kamenashi) "Baka. For Hayato it's the first time to study abroad" (Akanishi)...that's redund~ant.
Akanishi: Hot~
Kamenashi: It's summer
Akanishi: I don't have the willingness to start
Kamenashi: When will it appear?
Akanishi: That is...I wonder when...?
Kamenashi: For the time being, let's start with the letters~
How should I confess?
Text: I have a person I like. Even though my friend said that "If I confess, it'll definitely be fine" and that "He likes AyaP" I don't have the confidence...But my friends have done so much and said those things, that I think all that's left is to confess. But, the person I like is popular...From the two of you, please give me courage! From AyaP
Kamenashi: Things like a confession, is good
Akanishi: Well, Good luck
Kamenashi： That's it!!?
Akanishi: I haven't received any confession like that from someone I like.
Pets
Text: Everyday, I properly clean up my room before I leave for school. But! When I return home, and go to my room, it's...the things on my desk are all over the place, and there's no place to stand on the floor. The criminal is...the appearing-ly good dog. Kame-chan and Jin-kun, what can I do about him? Please teach me!!
From Mi-chan
Akanishi: Mmm
Kamenashi: There is
Akanishi: At home, it's because my dog's good
Kamenashi: I borrowed a DVD from Ueno Juri, and Ran (Pet dog, that is a dachshund) made it messed up.
Akanishi: In my house, there's discipline and training that is firmly being carried out.
Kamenashi: At the time I got angry. Since then, there hasn't been anymore problems.
Akanishi: By the way, the disciple and training wasn't by me, but by my parents.
Kamenashi: It's not by you?
Akanishi: Mmhmm
Bullying?
Text: Konnichiwa~ I don't understand men's feelings at all. Do guys bully the girls they like? Right now, I'm in 1st year of middle school*. Pleas~e try to remember back to that time and teach me.
From Getsu
*NOTE: 1st year of middle school, I believe is grade 7
Kamenashi: 1st year of middle school...
Akanishi: Mmhmm
Kamenashi: I wonder...
Akanishi: I haven't done anything like that
Kamenashi: You say you haven't...
Akanishi: To the person I liked, I went out with normally, so when I was aware of my feelings, I asked her out.
Kamenashi: When you realize your feelings...well..but, that's depends on the type of guy right?
Akanishi: Maybe
Kamenashi: I bullied girls and did things like lifting up skirts
Akanishi: Lifting up skirts...that's one of the main things guys do to bully right?
Kamenashi: Yeah, that's right! That's right!
Akanishi: That's all
Kamenashi: Next~~
Moisture
Text: How are you? I'm a girl in the 2nd year of high school. Recently, it's been hard to keep cool. What should I do to keep moist/cool? Please teach me~*. From Asta Lavista**
*NOTE: It was cute, because the person wrote "Oshiete kuda-bai", which is the wording Hayato used frequently in Gokusen.
**NOTE: Haha, sorry, I hope I spelled that right, if not, please, someone correct me
Akanishi: Try to keep moist
Kamenashi: How would you do that?
Akanishi: Try to keep moist
Kamenashi: Mentally moist?
Akanishi: Try to keep moist
Kamenashi: ...taking a bath. It's summer. So, take a bath
Akanishi: I think you should try to keep moist
What do you think?
Text: I am middle school 1st year student who likes Kamenashi-kun and Akanishi-kun. Whoever I am with, I talk a bit, but one of my friends told me "You talk too much", and "Aren't you tired from all that talking?" It's not like I feel tired...I just thought it would be good if everyone become happy when I talk*. Kamenashi-kun and Akanishi-kun, what do you think about me?
From "Someone small"
*NOTE: I think she means, she doesn't want it to seem awkward, so she talks.
Kamenashi: I think it's good
Akanishi: Good!!
Kamenashi: I think it's good
Akanishi: Ah, but, if you talk too much, there are times when it may seem annoying.
Kamenashi: I think it's good
Akanishi: That's all there is to it.
Kamenashi: And so, here's where we'll stop
Koki: Well, on to the next letter~!
Akanishi: We're already finished
Kamenashi: We're already finished
Akanishi: Well, see you next month~
*NOTE: I skipped the "Mail to Us" section...mostly because my scan's a little blurry there. But, if you're interested in mailing to them, I can always try to scramble my way through the scan and tell you how. But...yeah, I probably won't do that unless there's more than a handful of requests (That is, unless someone would like to give me a scan that's readable for that part)
EDIT: It's all complete now, so just wanted to say thanks to everyone that commented, because it really was greatly appreciated...and it made me work all the faster :D

If I had a month, I'd travel to various countries. Because I work with all my might, afterwards, I also rest with as much as I can would be an ideal welcomed summer holiday! Well, it's okay if it isn't for a long period of time. Maybe just for two months...even for a child it's long (laugh).
*NOTE: Zushi..I'm assuming that's in Kanagawa

Nakamaru Yuichi
You know for me, being loose, it's not like I do that because it's bothersome or anything, but it's just like I thought...Maybe it's because of the start of the Dome Tour but, every day whether it be a rest day, or a emotionally stressful day, it's harsh. I want a relaxing holiday. Wearing a jersey, I go to the Dome. A pleasant way of doing things becomes a habit. Recently, I've only been wearing shorts. With it being summer, clothes that I wear at home is what I typically wear. I just want summer to pass. Also, though this is also the time during the Dome tour, it's become summer so the amount of times you have to shower has increased right? At the Dome concert, I bathe once in the morning, right before the live, and after the live...In one day, I'll shower 3 times. I think this is such a waste of time. Somehow, you can't reduce the number of times you shower right? That is, when you think about the reason. The result is, after using shampoo, you have to use treatment! And! With this habit, if I didn't use treatment, what would happen? Eh, then my hair in my hands would feel "stiff". I don't want that~ I'm glad my hair is short. Though it's "stiff", well whatever. No need to worry.
As for the cleaning of my room, I use a cleaning robot*. Normally, when I'm not around it'll still do those things. But, as for my own house, when I'm there I won't use it. The cleaning robot will suck in whatever is on the floor completely. Really, completely! Therefore, with the robot we move around and find things that I've dropped, and clean. Yeah, there's not real reason to use the robot. But, it'd be a waste if I didn't use it...Well, what about being eco? The air con is almost always off. When my throat begins to feel dry, I turn it on, but when I'm not around it's off. In the summer, I open the window and it feels good for 10 minutes.
*NOTE: It's got to be one of those round flat ones, right?
Even during the summer vacation, there aren't memories of just lazing around not doing much. My dad, even during vacation would still eat breakfast in the kitchen! And strictly discipline us. Ah~ But as for the summer vacation homework, I would plan to do it ahead of time...But in spite of that at the end, I'm the type to hurry through it. When I was in middle school, I would say things like "Everyone, let's do our homework!!" Some of my friends would gather together and do the homework together. But if I remember correctly, we did that for three days, and from then on played normally (laugh).

When it becomes summer, the temperature rises, all of us living people sweat a lot. But, I'm loose in all four seasons. I don't want to boast, but the first thing I do when I return home, is go straight to sit on the sofa, and not move. Also, when I sit there, I barely move. Something like..having a feeling of a back pain? Also, with it being summer, jeans are hot, so I'm PANICHI*. And then I'll drink juice, and eat, play games...Well I'll be sitting on the sofa. I didn't notice until later, but the sofa was covered with clothes. Things like jeans, chinopants, and cargo pants ended up in a pile in front of my eyes. Today also I wore chino pants* (laugh).
*NOTE: I mentioned it before, as being wearing only underpants, in Koki's :D
**NOTE: Honestly, I've got no idea what chino pants are...
I sweat a lot, so when summer comes around, I don't use sheets. It's much better, because I spread out a towel instead of a sheet to sleep on. The size of the bed is too big when having to use the towels. I use something like a box sheet so it doesn't move around too much. And so, I use part of the towel, and when I wake up in the morning, the towel is all over the place, and scrunched up together at certain parts. But it makes you feel good. Up til now, since summer limits us, why don't we all try using towels instead of sheets! They're only 1980 yen! That's what I think. Throughout the year, the sheets become sloppy...Well, whenever.
One time, I left my can of coffee in the car. The next day it shocked me because it became coffee pudding. It's because it was so hot that day. Also, what's with this season. It feels like summer has come full-blast (That's how I feel...Taguchi...). How does juice become corn soup ? Ahahaha. Since I'm talking about this, when the fridge is open, there are many items that have a label that says "Best if eaten by this date". Eck! is what I think, but I say that "I probably could still eat it..." and ignore it. Well, that's how men are.
Even now, I think this but, I think it's bothersome. During elementary school, we had a lesson at the pool. We wore swimming clothes (swim trunks), and went to school. From school we went to the pool which was quite a distance. I wore something like a bath towel poncho and happily frolicked over to the pool. But, I became sad before I was to return home. "Oh crap, I'm not wearing pants!" I'd forgotten a change of pants. With no pants on, I passed by. With the half-wet swim trunks, I hesitantly...it's not really a good memory. Well, all men are this way in the summer. It's become the biggest embarrassment since I've become an adult (laugh).

Ueda Tatsuya
Living one's life loosely is prideful. Maybe because of things like the drama I was in, and be a useless person, I'd look forward to a role like that! And in that kind of situation, if I did boxing and moved around, after practice, I would try to run away. I think that's pretty horrible. But really, at home I'm dripping with sweat. In general the way I am at home is the lower half is naked...Even with wearing pants, I don't really want to. But because it's cold, I'll wear just a T-shirt, a weird way of wearing clothes. Yeah, but when I just get out of the bath...well, no pants is normal right? Anyway, it's my way of relaxing. When I have a cold, I'll only use the dryer for my hair, but not to dry my hair, but just dry my clothes. Of course, I also don't clean. I only wash dishes and things like that in the kitchen when people come over. With this kind of useless person, I don't want my family and good friends to see that side of me.
My eating habits are bad...As much as possible I try to be careful but I do it anyways. Some food I would eat all at once*. Because of natto, it doesn't really matter how much I eat, right? Recently, I think I've been eating too much. And so once it becomes summer, I'll drink the 0 Calorie carbonated drinks. Muscle fatigue will also disappear. I'll gulp about 2 litres down...and at home, I'll eat things like crackers or cookies. Nowadays, I'll buy ingredients, but very quickly will rot~ Whenever it'll be, I'll eat these. Moreover I seemed to have taken a liking to eat dried out food.** But for now, I'll start worrying about the amount of calories in food. Things like pudding have high calories, so I should only eat one. I can eat more low calorie crackers without having to worry, and still feel satisfied. Often, I get a bad feeling after eating too much...
*NOTE: All at once meaning, in one gulp
**NOTE: Honestly Tat-chan, just sounds like you're eating expired food. XD
That's right, that's right, when wearing clothes, I wear the standard thing every day. Maybe on a date, or to a theater, the location restricts what we can wear, but I wouldn't purposely be more fashionable. At a gym, or a special event, if I wore a jersey, I'd change into my costume, right? It's only when coming and leaving right? Just like that, what I always wear would be fine. Since we're talking about that, recently, I couldn't open my dresser! Generally, I throw of clothes into the room and wear whatever I pick up. It's always the same clothes worn on rotation. But I wear yellow to black, to white, lots of monotone colors of the same clothes. I guess it doesn't seem very good. It's a good thing, a good thing~♪

Kamenashi Kazuya
Kamenashi Kazuya in the summer is considerably loose. During last year's summer, I only got about one week off, which I spent all my time at the beach. But, during that time, I only wore swim trunks. If I take a shower after getting out of the water, going for a drive, or eating, all the while I am still only wearing swim trunks. Since it is in the countryside, it's not like I'll meet anyone. To begin with, I didn't even look at myself. And so, I returned to the city the next day wearing only my swim trunks, there was a mustache that grew from all the tension that rose from being at the beach. The moment I crossed Rainbow Bridge as expected, I thought "This is bad..." (laugh). When I think back it's kind of like that time when I worked almost every day, in my Urashima Tarou phase. When I'm at home, it's even better. It has nothing to do with the seasons. Throughout the year I am just PANICHI* and sleep on the sofa. On days when I return home feeling a sense of achievement, I won't even wear pants, and will become completely naked (laugh). If friends are around, of course I'll wear my pants...But the people that come over are generally really good friends so wearing only pants is alright, for 10 minutes, only pants. I've been living like this since a long time ago. Because there are 4 brothers, when we wake up and say "Morning~", we go to the living room, and everyone is only in their underpants. And amongst all that, only mom is properly dressed and moving around
working...this sort of scene is pretty normal. Even when other people come over to the house, it's still only underpants.
*NOTE: which explained in Koki's and Taguchi's that PANICHI is only wearing underpants
This summer, one thing I'm looking forward to is the movie "Gokusen". When it is opens to the public, I absolutely want to go to the movie theater to watch it. Well, I think I want go about 100 times! Because you know, it's not everyday I'm able to watch a production with so many great actors. It's something that you definitely can't do in a drama. A lot of people will see my acting, and I want to see their reactions! And perhaps if you went to the movie theater, I might be near you all if that happens, while you were crying or laughing ♥
When it comes to summer heat, it doesn't affect me at all. Instead, during the summer I become energetic~♪ (↑From the group Unjash's Pipo-kun's impression.*) In front of my house, I'll swim with my nieces. Inflating the vinyl pool, I'd get in with the kids and joke and play around with them. Whether it be surfing or vacations abroad, there's many things I want to do this summer. But, with the nation-wide tour and practice for "DREAM BOYS", I don't think I'll have very much private time...Well, once the butai** is over in October, it'll really begin to feel like summer! When it becomes autumn,I'll go to a country where it still feels like summer~♪
*NOTE: There's no real talk about them in english...but they're a comedic group, and if you're extremely interested in figuring out who Pipo-kun is, just watch the video here and the high voiced yellow stuffed doll thing is Pipo-kun.
**NOTE: butai is referring to a stage show, and here, referring to DREAM BOYS

Kamenashi & Akanishi Respond to letters
Pleas~e give sweet whispers*
AkaKame Mail, distant ice to immortality. SP
Since Yankumi is distant ice to immortality, Akakame Mail is also distant ice to immortality. Eternally, loose assistance they continue to give. Last month was about graduation, and this month about how one appears to be. These types of people will want to read this, and so until next time, thank you.
*NOTE: "Sasayaku" means to whisper, from what I know, so I translated it to that, but in general, they're giving replies.
Yankumi, Congrats!!
”Gokusen", that is becoming hot ♥Report
All of you guys!! Kamenashi made a stage appearance at "Gokusen THE MOVIE” (Nation-wide Toho studio movie screening) which is only natural, right? Have you seen it yet? Planned to? Haven't seen it yet? Watch it 100 times!! During the private showing, Kamenashi said "Since Season 2, 4 years have passed, so hasn't he become somewhat of an adult? That's what I thought" with confidence stood and talked about the movie. Yankumi also with this said 'farewell'. "This is the last time our teacher addresses us. " (Kamenashi) During production, up til now, there have many many students that appeared. What's this...? What about Akanishi who plays Hayato? "Eh~Eh~ um, he's studying abroad" (Akanishi) "Again?" (Kamenashi) "Baka. For Hayato it's the first time to study abroad" (Akanishi)...that's redund~ant.
Akanishi: Hot~
Kamenashi: It's summer
Akanishi: I don't have the willingness to start
Kamenashi: When will it appear?
Akanishi: That is...I wonder when...?
Kamenashi: For the time being, let's start with the letters~
How should I confess?
Text: I have a person I like. Even though my friend said that "If I confess, it'll definitely be fine" and that "He likes AyaP" I don't have the confidence...But my friends have done so much and said those things, that I think all that's left is to confess. But, the person I like is popular...From the two of you, please give me courage! From AyaP
Kamenashi: Things like a confession, is good
Akanishi: Well, Good luck
Kamenashi： That's it!!?
Akanishi: I haven't received any confession like that from someone I like.
Pets
Text: Everyday, I properly clean up my room before I leave for school. But! When I return home, and go to my room, it's...the things on my desk are all over the place, and there's no place to stand on the floor. The criminal is...the appearing-ly good dog. Kame-chan and Jin-kun, what can I do about him? Please teach me!!
From Mi-chan
Akanishi: Mmm
Kamenashi: There is
Akanishi: At home, it's because my dog's good
Kamenashi: I borrowed a DVD from Ueno Juri, and Ran (Pet dog, that is a dachshund) made it messed up.
Akanishi: In my house, there's discipline and training that is firmly being carried out.
Kamenashi: At the time I got angry. Since then, there hasn't been anymore problems.
Akanishi: By the way, the disciple and training wasn't by me, but by my parents.
Kamenashi: It's not by you?
Akanishi: Mmhmm
Bullying?
Text: Konnichiwa~ I don't understand men's feelings at all. Do guys bully the girls they like? Right now, I'm in 1st year of middle school*. Pleas~e try to remember back to that time and teach me.
From Getsu
*NOTE: 1st year of middle school, I believe is grade 7
Kamenashi: 1st year of middle school...
Akanishi: Mmhmm
Kamenashi: I wonder...
Akanishi: I haven't done anything like that
Kamenashi: You say you haven't...
Akanishi: To the person I liked, I went out with normally, so when I was aware of my feelings, I asked her out.
Kamenashi: When you realize your feelings...well..but, that's depends on the type of guy right?
Akanishi: Maybe
Kamenashi: I bullied girls and did things like lifting up skirts
Akanishi: Lifting up skirts...that's one of the main things guys do to bully right?
Kamenashi: Yeah, that's right! That's right!
Akanishi: That's all
Kamenashi: Next~~
Moisture
Text: How are you? I'm a girl in the 2nd year of high school. Recently, it's been hard to keep cool. What should I do to keep moist/cool? Please teach me~*. From Asta Lavista**
*NOTE: It was cute, because the person wrote "Oshiete kuda-bai", which is the wording Hayato used frequently in Gokusen.
**NOTE: Haha, sorry, I hope I spelled that right, if not, please, someone correct me
Akanishi: Try to keep moist
Kamenashi: How would you do that?
Akanishi: Try to keep moist
Kamenashi: Mentally moist?
Akanishi: Try to keep moist
Kamenashi: ...taking a bath. It's summer. So, take a bath
Akanishi: I think you should try to keep moist
What do you think?
Text: I am middle school 1st year student who likes Kamenashi-kun and Akanishi-kun. Whoever I am with, I talk a bit, but one of my friends told me "You talk too much", and "Aren't you tired from all that talking?" It's not like I feel tired...I just thought it would be good if everyone become happy when I talk*. Kamenashi-kun and Akanishi-kun, what do you think about me?
From "Someone small"
*NOTE: I think she means, she doesn't want it to seem awkward, so she talks.
Kamenashi: I think it's good
Akanishi: Good!!
Kamenashi: I think it's good
Akanishi: Ah, but, if you talk too much, there are times when it may seem annoying.
Kamenashi: I think it's good
Akanishi: That's all there is to it.
Kamenashi: And so, here's where we'll stop
Koki: Well, on to the next letter~!
Akanishi: We're already finished
Kamenashi: We're already finished
Akanishi: Well, see you next month~
*NOTE: I skipped the "Mail to Us" section...mostly because my scan's a little blurry there. But, if you're interested in mailing to them, I can always try to scramble my way through the scan and tell you how. But...yeah, I probably won't do that unless there's more than a handful of requests (That is, unless someone would like to give me a scan that's readable for that part)
