I really liked this latest issue of Nino's It column and decided to translate it. Sometimes Nino can be very frank about his thoughts, especially towards things you would normally expect him to be blase and vague about. In this one, he talked about the hypothetical situation of somebody leaving Arashi. KAT-TUN was also mentioned ( Read more... )

This was commissioned by muffy_paradise for the jpnforph fundraiser, divided into three parts because this interview is super long. Hopefully I will be able to get the rest of these parts out quickly!

Another old article from a few years back! This one was between Koichi from KinKi Kids and Nakamaru from KAT-TUN, and mostly focusing on their work together in Sushi Ouji.

I don't have scans of this so I took a picture with my iPod instead for the preview image, sorry for the quality! Enjoy the talk. :)

I decided to translate this Q&A-style article from an old issue of Myojo that caught my eye as I was debinding my magazines. Both Koichi and Tsuyoshi individually answered questions from fans and members of younger groups (specifically Arashi, T&T, NEWS, Kanjani8, KAT-TUN, and HSJ ( Read more... )

This article is four and a half years old, but it's as amazing now as it was then. The leader of TOKIO fielded all kinds of questions from various Johnny's-- ranging from (ex in some cases?) Jrs. like Toma and Taiyo to Arashi's Ohno to even Sakamoto from V6 (check the tags for the full list). The only groups missing are probably SMAP and KinKi Kids ( Read more... )

Here's a multi-group quickie since I haven't really done much on other groups lately/for a very long while. I'm not sure if there were more pages to this because only the page with Arashi was scanned, but these are memories and impressions that all the members of Arashi and KAT-TUN have of Takki and Tsubasa.

Comments are love; enjoy!

inutweak linked me to this gem of an article that I had no idea existed, and I just couldn't resist translating it. :3 It took longer as I translated directly from Japanese, and there are also spots here and there I'm not 100% positive about, but I hope you guys enjoyed reading anyway. In this article, Okada answered various questions from friends and ( Read more... )

This is what I do when I'm stuck in the middle of exams-- I procrastinate. :Dv

Since Christmas is nearing I thought I'd try to do some Christmas-related things here and there. There were actually three more pages of one-on-one cross talks in addition to these short monologue things, but they were too long completely unrelated to Christmas (it was ( Read more... )

I finally got off my lazy ass and uploaded this clip for people to download and keep for their own viewing pleasure-- I'm sure the tiny horrible youtube res wasn't very fun to read from XD Anyway, please comment if you download, and enjoy!
