Hi there! I, Rui, have some bad news. Or maybe it's good news?

Basically, I'm moving accounts and uploading translations onto my new community: bazuruarashi!

If all you care about is the translations, you can just go join that community and continue on with life! But I wanted to just explain a little about why I'm moving, for the hell of it ( Read more... )

I'll probably upload some more of these since I do them every week or so anyway! Whole thing below~

Basically just baby Sho and Jun being the cutest pair openly! I uploaded these on Twitter but I made a few mistakes because I wasn't paying much attention, so I decided to redo it here. Radio show from 1999, not exactly sure which/when, so if anyone knows that'd be useful!

Surprised this one hasn't been translated yet! At this point I'm just filling in all the gaps in translations of Arashi's lyrics. It's fun.

Notes:
　- Please don't retranslate into other languages! I wouldn't usually mind, but there are too many nuances in lyrics that would get lost in another translation.

The fact that the ShoJun song has never been translated (as far as I know) is actually disgraceful. So I did it myself. I'm also working on other lyrics right now, so drop a comment or message if you have requests! Any general J-pop song is fine :)

Although I'm mainly an Arashian, Suda Masaki was actually one of my first favourite Japanese actors/singers! So, I did a quick English sub of his cut with Nino on the recent Arashi ni Shiyagare. And as a present for my Masakichi friends, too :) Download below!

I translated the (very few) Japanese lines and added subs for all of the lyrics onto the music video for In The Summer. Downloads and transcribed lyrics below. Enjoy!

(Yes this is almost 2 months late, I completely forgot to upload this here after I posted it on Twitter... sorry.)

Yes, I'm like a week late, but whatever - I uploaded it on the 30th on Twitter so that counts! Anyway, to celebrate our precious MatsuJun's 37th birthday I translated a page from Popolo, July 2005, with 50 questions for Jun. The 3 categories are Arashi, Everyday Life, and Personality. Enjoy!
