Kis-My-Ft2 (Senga Kento) - Kis-My-Ft2-1st
I figured out what I'm going to cook for dinner the next few days, so I can go grocery shopping tomorrow. o/ Leaving Saturday blank since we can go out, have take out, or even eat leftovers or something, lol. Then Mom will be back by Sunday, so it's fine.
(Off topic and super old news, but I just realized Takeuchi quit. Mh. And Horinouchi Tatsuya who used to be in Snow Prince. Realized he wasn't in magazines and all, but mh, yea. Meh.)
Edit: Ohno Takurou's blog mentioned that Karina and the group of five (meaning HiroSuke) will appearing live in Sukkiri tomorrow. Be sure to check it out! There's no mention of other shows like Zoom In, Pon! and Don!, but I'll most likely keep an eye out on all shows since I'm going to wait until the preview special airs anyways. Also, they will appear in a VTR for news every. though Karina will be there live. Also, Wednesday is Koyama's day on news every. so it makes me wonder if he'll say something about HiroSuke. XD
I realized I could have posted this yesterday. After all, this is the year Senga has his adult ceremony (as he is born in 1991, before April), so could have posted this in celebration of that, but um, the 10th isn't over here yet? //whacked// (Then there's like this whole concept where maybe Johnny is waiting for everyone in the group to turn 20 before epic things happen, but let's not get to that.) Oh Nika had his adult ceremony too, but well, I don't have any Nika-specific translation. (This year's adult ceremony is for people born during 1990 April 2nd to 1991 April 1st, something like that.)
This was actually finished being translated right after Camilla posted her translation of Tama's parts, lol. Proves how long I've been holding back on posting this? Just never found the chance. Either way, now all members' parts are complete! And well, mh, missing the offshots part then...?
Translation from photobook. All of Senga's parts. As previous translations, first part is the page with Senga's 'passport' and he talks about his younger self, his Junior self, his memorable jobs, as well as KisuMai. The next part is of the black and white solo shot, where Senga talk about the other members. Last part is the 100 questions he answered, on the page of the solo roller-skates shot.
"In place of Michael who's not here anymore, I'll become Michael!"
○ My Younger Self
I was a really quiet child without my own will and couldn't say anything. Since children can be cruel, when exchanging things they have, even though the thing they have isn't worth anything at all, they'd say things like "Exchange that OO with me!", right? At those times, I couldn't say "no" which was just one word. I end up not being able to refuse, saying "Un, alright". I think my feelings for "wanting to make people happy" were really strong, but it's not good to not have my own will. That part of me changed when I started dancing. In my last year of elementary school (Gr.6), when I improved to the point where I had the ability to win in a contest, I probably was able to gain confidence in myself. I experienced strong feelings like "So happy!" "How frustrating!" and I really felt that "I'd be rewarded after putting in great effort". From then, I really grew fast internally. Since then, I tried to say no clearly to things I don't like. At first, my friends were surprised, but immediately it became something natural.
○ My Johnny's Jr Self
The direct reason was probably from the recommendation of my mother, but mentally speaking, the one who pushed my back was the person I will admire forever, Michael Jackson. When I first watched a video of his performance, it's not an exaggeration, but shock ran through my whole body. He is trying to convey "something" to the audience and the audience reacted to that and gave him loud cheers. I felt that he was an amazing person to be able to give that many people dreams and passion on his own. I didn't really understand the world of Johnnys, but I thought that I want to become someone who can be in that position as well. When I first joined, I felt that I had too much confidence. I was cocky...no, it was different from that. Probably because I was already learning how to dance? It's not about my skills, but I had confidence mentally. Since I had the experience of going to the finals of a national tournament, it was like "I've already experienced a lot of hardships and mentally speaking, I'm more mature than everyone else" (laughs). The dances we learn as Johnnys is in a completely different genre than what I've learned until then though and I faced my own hardships unique to someone with dance experience. When I rearranged dances as I wanted and was praised by staff members though, my Junior activities became more fun for me at once. At first, there were times where I longed for my home town Nagoya, but I had a big dream of "I'll become like Michael!". I was able to overcome that yearning with those feelings. Of course, the thought of "I will become an artist that can give people dreams and passion as an entertainer" I am keeping without change...no, lately, that feeling has become even stronger.
○ A Job that I Can't Forget Myself
"Takizawa Kakumei" which I appeared in this year. Within it, I was given a chance to do Michael Jackson's "Thriller". I think I was given the chance because it was known that I like Michael and it's done to include thoughts of memorial within it. The choreography is the original, as it is. Since I've watched it so many times that I don't even remember, I was able to remember the moves immediately. The clothes were my own and my movements, I aimed to be like Michael too...but as expected, that hurdle was high (laughs). To be able to experience that though was already an honour and it has become an experience that I will never forget. The day Michael passed away, I cried quite a bit. After that, for about three days, I was completely out of it and nothing entered my head...I was in that kind of state. My feelings have changed though. It's like, "In place of Michael who's not here anymore, I'll become Michael!" From now on, he will continue to be my guide.
○ About Kis-My-Ft2
They were all my senpai...so at first, I wasn't able to fit in. That's because, at that age, when you say a gap in age of 4~6 years, it was really really big. Their auras and such felt awfully frightening (laughs). I thought "Why these members?" I had quite a few fights with various members. I had some with older members too. I've grabbed Watta's (Yokoo) shirt around his chest area and said, "Don't mess with me!" Each time though, we become closer, so as a result, it's alright (laughs). I can now say "It's good that Kis-My-Ft2 are these members". Hereafter, the challenge is to improve myself more and more! Not just myself, but it's something I can say for the whole group I guess. We're comrades, but it's not just about getting along well, but I want to keep having feelings of rivalry towards them where it's like "I won't lose to my members!" Personally, even in my private time I go and learn dance and is trying to compose songs. Also, I'm watching various productions and studying them. These things may take time, but five years later, ten years later, I think that it'll definitely become my own provisions.
For Members
About Kitayama
He's a shy person and has a clumsy side to him. He won't come on his own, but if you approach him yourself, he'd make a very happy face. I realize that now, but when the group first formed, I had my own odd pride and I couldn't do that which is why we couldn't really converse with each other. There was this one time where I gathered my courage and asked him out for a meal myself. Since about that time, we slowly became closer. He's really manly and even though there's a part of him that's a bit stubborn, he's someone that thinks about the group seriously more than anyone else.
About Miyata
I always say this, but he's a really kind person. The atmosphere he carries too, when I'm with him, I feel very at ease. He has a strong side to him where he opened up his own character with his own strength, but I think he still kind of has a soft and limp side to him (laughs). When he gains the ability to say his own opinions about the group as a whole as well strongly, I feel that a new side of KisuMai will come from it.
About Yokoo
He is very punctual about time and is very level-headed as well, but he's also someone who has a side to him that's prone to silly mistakes somewhat (laughs). He himself though probably dislikes people thinking of him that way (laughs). Since he's a serious and reliable person, when the knowledge and experience that he will gain from now on come together, I think he will become someone who has a lot of persuasive power in his words.
About Fujigaya
In regards to work, he can find the balance in anything and is someone who has true strength. He can listen to someone's opinions honestly and he's good at creating the atmosphere then and there. Anyhow, I think compared to anything else, he "likes fun things" (laughs). Since I have that part to me too, when I'm with Fujigaya-kun, I feel the fun doubles.
About Tamamori
We're like friends (laughs). With the part of him that's kind of holding back, at times, it gets irritating watching him from the side, but he's the type to work hard without people noticing and I think he's someone who has really good taste. Personality-wise, there's a moody side to him and there's no way to get a grip on him which makes him interesting. [Note: The we're like friends part that Senga talks about just means that Senga sees people he's friends with say from school are different from people he works with. There's no negative meaning behind it]
About Nikaido
Since when we were younger of course, he was both my comrade and rival. It was like this before we became KisuMai. We were always together so he was someone I can trust, but when he gets a good job, I was also jealous of him thinking "How frustrating! I won't lose too!" I can definitely declare that I'm the way I am today because of him being there. That guy, I think you understand if you look, but he's not honest. That's also a good thing about him too though. Recently, he has become quite well-rounded, but I want him to keep that "mischevious brat" atmosphere no matter what and remain my comrade and rival.

* Sweet or salty. Previously, I had this as sweet tooth or drinker in Taisuke's and Wataru's translation. Trying to make a long story short, sweet tooth or drinker is the literal translation. The reason why it translates as drinker is because the kanji in karatou can be used to describe salty (in just the flavour, not too salty which shoppai would imply) and culturally, when you drink alcohol (specifically sake), you would have salty snacks with it, hence drinker becomes related to the flavour of salty. Senga is not yet of age yet, so I felt the need to change it.
Keeping this short.

* Sweet or salty. Previously, I had this as sweet tooth or drinker in Taisuke's and Wataru's translation. Trying to make a long story short, sweet tooth or drinker is the literal translation. The reason why it translates as drinker is because the kanji in karatou can be used to describe salty (in just the flavour, not too salty which shoppai would imply) and culturally, when you drink alcohol (specifically sake), you would have salty snacks with it, hence drinker becomes related to the flavour of salty. Senga is not yet of age yet, so I felt the need to change it.
Keeping this short.
