Kikuchi Fuma
An eco cheer!? As the special supporter of [2012 Volleyball World Final Qualification for London Olympics], I am getting quite heated up about the cheering. It’s just that this time I’d like to be careful too. I always get too heated up during the cheering that I burst too many stick balloons. I’d use up 5 sets for one match. Although I think that the passionate cheer would reach the athletes and that it means that I can lead the others who also came to cheer (the athletes) on. For this tournament, I’d like to put my feelings and loud voice as the main; I will keep in mind to give an eco cheer that puts resources importantly.
Using my imagination to improve the character. I learnt from the producer of the drama [Mirai Nikki - ANOTHER:WORLD-] that only memorizing the script will not have feelings put into it. I am challenging the character by imagining the background story (the character) has that was not written in the scripts in my own way. I feel that I can bring a better Kousaka every time I act (the character). From now on, as the climax is coming, I feel like Kousaka will be moving around a lot more, “I want to even more seriously face him (the character)!”
Passionate about punk! I’m also listening to a lot of songs from bands that are of my generations. Then, I’d imitate them, or purposely arrange it and find out to what point my own vocal cannot reach. It is research every day. It’s because I love doing such things if it is about songs.
Strength that doesn’t waver. An artist I love said it. “No matter how much I was made fun of, I lived on thinking, ‘I can sing so much better than you guys anyway!’” Just like that, people who have a core in their own confidence and is not afraid of anything is really cool. Although I have not reached that level, I am making it a point to not be wavered by what people around me say regarding the things that I like & believe in. Also a strength that is not affected by bad mouthing or critics that have no basis. “If possible, I want to understand it more,” this feeling, it’d be good if I can convey it through the music that I make.
I have confidence in making (the other person) to like me. The heart of the matter that I recognize in myself… It’s fine even if it is an identification of weakness; I think I’ll be charmed by girls who stab right at it. For confessions, of course I’ll do it. If our feelings have been communicated, I’m fine even if she goes out to play with another boy. I have confidence. The confidence to make the girl I came to like to like me. It’s because the sincere attitude to “let’s understand her” will attract her.
(A/N: That first sentence, it’s so hard, I don’t know how to put it well. I don’t even understand it well. Sorry about that.)

Sato Shori
I have debuted as a lyricist! I first challenged song writing in the song called [Kimi no tame, boku ga iru] (A/N: song title means “For your sake, I exist/am here” if you’re curious). I have a lot of “legendary” images of a lyricist, such as “When I am writing a song, I only use this pen”. That’s why, I thought that I shall prepare such a legend if I’m interviewed 10 years later, and purposely wore a sunglass while facing the table. Because it was just before (we) went to Hawaii, by chance the sunglass was sitting on the table (lol). Then it was so hard to see the words, I became sleepy, it was totally no good… But, in the chorus, the phrase that goes “sekai wo hitotsu ni surun darou” was born due to the effectiveness of the sunglass ♪
(A/N: Btw, the phrase mentioned by Shori roughly means “will probably make the world into one”)
I also won’t lose in long lines. For the mini drama [Koi suru ganbarebu 2], all of the 8 episodes had to be recorded in the same day. If one episode is 10 minutes, it was quite a hard scene. Although I have memorized 2 sets of long lines, on the day itself, suddenly it was increased. If it was the previous me, I’d probably go, “Eeeh~!” and panicked, but this time I was fired up, “Yosh! I’ll do it!” Maybe it’s evidence that I have grown a bit…?
A maniac of monjyayaki! Under my request, I went to Shitamachi with my family to have some monjya. The first time was made by my mother, and for the second time I was involved with the frying of it. The monjya bowl has the ingredients and the broth in it, right? By watching others (do it), I imitated and went, “Oryah!” and poured the ingredients on the teppan (an iron-plate). Then, half of the broth that was supposed to be poured out later on came out, I was really panicking (perspire). On the hot ho~t teppan, my mentai cheese monjya was deliciously made.
(A/N: Click the monjyayaki word on top to be directed to what it is. Monjyayaki is very delicious, btw! Try it if you have the chance!! These monjya restaurants/shops usually can make it for you as well if you wish to~ <3)
I want to become a man who silently gets fired up. The senpais I admire are Totsuka (Shota)-kun and (Nakayama) Yuma-kun. I think that the common point between the two of them is that they possess this quality/character of “burn/blaze”. Although they are usually very kind and gentle, when they are doing things like acting, the blazing aura they have once their switch is on is amazing! I, too, want to be such a man, problems/issues that were given to me; I want to diligently tackle it one by one. One day I want to stand beside the two of them… No, I want to gaze at them from their back.
I’ve experienced love at first sight before. A passionate love… Like love at first sight? I’ve experienced it before. That is… Yuma-kun! “There was such a cool person in this world!?” I remember I was very shocked. To girls… Still not yet. But if I were to fall in love, I think (I’ll) do it wholeheartedly.

Nakajima Kento
I will dutifully support (the volleyball team). I’ve played volleyball in my middle high and high school PE lessons, so it is a familiar sport to me. But we didn’t follow the rules and would cunningly make the person who serves well do it continuously when we have to play a match. I am introspecting on my cunning self (bitter smile), while I properly study the volleyball rules as the Japan’s special supporter. I want to convey the charm points of volleyball through our passionate support.
Tortoise-san (Matsumoto)’s signature! I’m very happy that I could get along well with the co-actors/co-actresses in [Kazoku no Uta]. My role’s setting is that I’m the guitarist in a band, and I was given advices on how to play the guitar from Tortoise Matsumoto-san. Isn’t it amazing!? Moreover, I was told, “The way you stand is very good. You should continue with the guitar,”! Since I was thinking of spreading the width of my music from the piano, I think I will continue practicing guitar.
(A/N: Tortoise Matsumoto-san is the lead singer of a Japanese guitar group, Ulfuls. He’s also [Kazoku no Uta], acting as Mizushima Akira. All taken from wiki since I haven’t watched [Kazoku no Uta]. :D)
Secret talks in Korean language. In university, have chosen a Korean language lesson other than English language. Although at first I hesitated between (Korean) and Chinese language, the “love-yakiniku” blood won (lol). Yamada-kun is good in Korean language right? The next time I meet him, I shall do a secret talk (with him) in Korean~♪ By the way, the yakiniku party promise that Yamada-kun made a few years ago, it still has not been realized yet… (tears) “Kento, when you are free, let’s go for meat ♪ (ßwith voice imitation),” just so you know, the one who invited me was Yamada-kun~!
My heart throbs to a kind smile ♥ Kimura Takuya-san is the most perfect man to me. He can do just anything, acting, music and sports; I think that his charm point is his wild character. But the other day, I was given the chance to appear together in a music show, and I was able to watch Kimura-san singing [Sakasama no Sora] from a short distance, in the middle of the song, just for a moment, he had a tender expression on his face. And to that smile, my heart seriously throbbed! ♥ After discovering his new charm point, I admire him even more.
Jealousy makes love more passionate. I want to fall in love with a girl that can stir up my passion. For example, let’s put the setting that there’s a girl who gets along well with me but is not my lover. Suddenly one day, a boy who yearns for her appears. At that moment, a strong jealous feeling in my heart swirls, and I finally come to realize of my passionate feelings… How does this situation sound? It’s always a delusional talk (lol). If I only talk about romantic stuff, when I really fall in love, it’ll just be a collection of desire to monopolize.

Translating is fun~ Mostly. xD Hope you all had fun reading it. Do ask if there’s anything you don’t get, because I faced quite a few problems in putting some phrases into proper English sentence without changing the essence too much…
Please don’t steal or claim this as yours, or re-post it or anything like that. Just link back to this post. And as always, I don’t guarantee 100% accuracy of the translation, and corrections are very much welcomed!!
Oh, I’d like to ask you all… Do you prefer me publishing the translations as I finish them one by one, or all in one go? Do leave a comment!! xD
