Kis-My-Ft2 - Myojo March 2012 Kiss the Seven World
Looking through my history, I realize I'm behind with some file downloading, haha. XD; More than I thought, at least. Which is why right now, I'm downloading things and burning data discs to back some things up. Both of my hard drives are running out of space again! No thanks to all the scans I have. XDD;; I should also back up all my uni stuff too. All my photo stuff are taking up spacing!
It's not scans today! It's not a proper article translation though. >>'' I somehow doubt I'll be able to post more than one proper article translation during this countdown...
While this is not the first Kiss the Seven World, it is the first one where they do individual corners for each member, so I decided to translate it. There are only like two issues after this one, so I should be able to translate them all soon~ (The individual corners went on break for June and July issue.)
7 days left until Taisuke's birthday!
Translation. Myojo's KisuMai serial page Kiss the Seven World. Each member have their own corner where they do various things from introducing and recommending things to drawing to replying mails to completing missions?
Kiss the Seven World
Kis-My-Ft2
Each member's new corner that we collected ideas for from everyone's letters in February's issue are already appearing! They're corners that make use of their personalities, so enjoy the worlds that are "typical of" each of the seven members♪
DJ KitaMitsu no RecoMu
(DJ KitaMitsu's Recommend Music)
DJ Kitayama will introduce recommended songs to readers that he feels match the given theme! Just what kind of songs from the wide range of genres did he choose? Check it out♪
This Month's Theme
"Start!"
Since the theme is "start", with the image of the first song being morning, which is the start of a day, I chose Justin Bieber's "Baby". It has a really pleasant melody, so if you listen to it when you wake up in the morning, you'd probably feel good! The second song is DREAMS COME TRUE-san's "Haretara Ii ne" which was released in 1992. This song has the image of the blue sky and is a really refreshing song. When I listen to this song, I feel like I can start anything with cheerful feelings. The third song is Musiq Soulchild's "Anything". It's a song with a funky rhythm that you can easily get into, and when I listen to this song, I want to dance. As I thought, when you're starting something, you have to be in this kind of fun mood♪ Ev~eryone, please definitely listen to the three songs I chose!
Yokoo-gahaku no Rakugakiten
(Master Painter Yokoo's Fun Scribble Exhibit)
Yokoo, who is the best at drawing among members, challenge illustrating based on the given topic! The topic for the first round is "dragon" as it's the year of the dragon. As if like he was just scribbling, the picture he drew for us seriously while enjoying it, is well done!
Title of Work "俺龍 (Oreryuu)"
Ever since I was young, I liked to draw pictures. I've also shown things I've drawn myself at concerts. For people who are bad at drawing, I think it's okay to look at something like a magazine or photo as an example when drawing. The important thing is originality. Since something normal is boring, it depends on how you express yourself. For this time's "dragon", I tried having it holding a mic and wearing roller-skates. It's KisuMai-like, right? I didn't used any colours and tried drawing with not even a pencil, but a pen. There's no special reason to that though (laughs). The title is "Oreryuu". It's a "dragon" of "my own style"♪ [Note: My own style is written as 俺流, also pronounced as oreryuu, but Wataru replaced the ryuu with the ryuu for dragon which is 龍]
Senga-ryuu MJ (Mecha Jouzu) Cooking
(Senga's Style Very Skillful Cooking)
Chef Senga, who loves Michael Jackson and cooking, is going to instruct on a special menu that he arranged a bit in his own style! The menu for the first round is curry which is a dish he has confidence in!
This Month's Menu
Dry Curry
【Ingredients】
Mixed Five Grain Rice - for two people
Minced Meat (Beef) - 200g
Curry Roux - 1 box
Chicken Soup - 1 cup
Ingredients a
Garlic - 1 clove
Ginger - small quantity
Onion - 3/5 of one
Carrot - 1/3 of one
Mushrooms - 4
King Oyster Mushroom - 1
Seasoning b
Curry Powder - 2 tablespoons
Oyster Sauce - a bit more than 1 tablespoon
Ketchup - a bit more than 2 tablespoons
Soy Sauce - a bit more than 2 teaspoons
For Poached Egg
Eggs - 2
Vinegar - 2 tablespoons
Salt - a pinch
【How to Make It】
❶ Heat up some salad oil in the fry pan and sauté ingredients a. When the vegetables become tender, put in the minced meat and sauté. Add in seasoning b, mix them together, and then add in the chicken soup. After letting it simmer for 10 minutes at medium flame, put in the curry roux.
❷ Boil 200mL of water in a pot for making the poached egg. Put in the vinegar and salt, and then turn off the fire. Using cooking chopsticks, mix the water in circles to create water currents. Crack the egg and let it drop into the middle of the swirl carefully. Once the shape has settled, watch it with cold water and wipe off the dampness.
❸ Put the above ① and ② on top of the mixed five grain rice, and you're done!
A Single Word of Advice
"Rice is using mixed five grain which has plenty of nourishment. Even for people who don't like wheat and beans, their attention can be diverted by the taste of the curry♪ To be honest, I used the curry Katori Shingo-kun made in Bistro SMAP as reference."
Taipi no Sasayaki Kiss
(Taipi's Whispering Kiss)
We gathered words that Fujigaya said nonchalantly during this month's interview as well as things he said to staff members care freely. His charm should be hidden among the numerous things he said in a casual manner!
Lately, I might be buying too much clothes. That's because the hanger rack I hang my clothes on broke. It seems like it was too heavy (laughs).
When I was talking about "trips (ryokou)" with a staff member, Watta played dumb and went, "Nh? You called?". It's not "Yokoo" (laughs).
I want to do concerts soon. I want to meet everyone I love ♡
I bought Kimura (Takuya)-kun's "Kaihouku 2". I'm reading it when travelling to places and between work.
Sexy Zone's handshaking event which happened in November was fun~! I was able to meet various fans. I received energy from everyone's smiles.
Somday, I want to produce the costumes for our concerts. Not just one set, but everything that will be worn in one show. To do everyone's though would be hard work, so first, I'll start with my own~
Nika-chan no Mail II Mail
(Nika-chan's Mail to Mail)
Based on his own wish, this is a new corner where Nikaido and readers interact. We're collecting things you want to ask and things you want him to do, so keep sending them in. This month, an answer to a simple question from a reader!
To: Nika-chan
Subject: Please tell me!
How do you do? Nikaido-kun do big acrobatic tricks at concerts, but were you originally good at sports? When did you first try doing acrobatics? Please tell me!
(Akane, Tokyo, 19 years old)
To: Akane-chan
Subject: Actually...
Thank you for your mail! I actually am not good at sports. I'm not good with baseball and soccer at all. With acrobatics though, if I can get the image of myself doing that trick, I'm able to do it rather quickly. After having someone show me a example, I practice while imagining and seeing myself doing that trick. The first time I tried doing acrobatics was when I was in elementary school. While having my dad keep me company, I practiced backflips at home. When I tried touching the floor with my hands, I put in too much force and ended up hitting my dad by mistake (laughs). When I was able to do it in about two weeks, I was really happy.
Ouji Tama no Oshare World
(Prince Tama's Fashionable World)
The corner where the eccentric fashionable Prince Tamamori introduces his favourite fashion items. He'll talk about the item that caught the prince's heart and the lovey-dovey♡life he has with it.
Yuuta's favourite item
Black Long Coat
I found this black long coat in the multi-brand shop that I happened to walk into and I bought it immediately. I'm weak towards black fashion items by nature, but the shape of it as well as the line of it when I wore was really my type too, so there was no hesitation. Usually, I match it a lot with jeans and slim-fitting black pants, but I can really wear it neatly. Despite that though, it's not too neat and that subtle point matches my style, so I really treasure it. This is why I wear it once...no, twice a week and keep wearing it! Since it's cold lately, I like wearing this with a stole of a subdued colour wrapped around my neck. The bottom line is a simple look.
Jaja~n
Miyata Toshiya no Chikyuu Seifuku Keikaku!
(Miyata's Toshiya Plan to Conquest the Earth!)
The corner where Miyata risks his life, challenges dangerous? missions and brainwash earthlings with his gallant figure...(*statement from the actual person). The commemorative first mission is this!
Mission 1 Catch suzu castella with your mouth!
[Note: Castella is a type of Japanese sponge cake (based on what was bought over by the Portuguese). Suzu castella is a mini type (as opposed to the common long box-shape ones) where it looks like a bell (suzu). It is usually considered as a separate thing from baby castella due to how they look.]
Rule
You must catch 10 suzu castella with your mouth that will be thrown up into the air one by one by a collaborator. Even if you have managed to catch one, you must quickly get rid of the dry castella in your mouth and immediately continue the challenge...this is the harsh mission.
(on photo - Special Partner Senga Kento)
Right after starting, unable to communicate well with his collaborator Senga, Miyata was having a hard time, such as sticking his mouth at a place that completely missed the mark from where the castella would fall. That figure of his was just like a carp that kept on opening its mouth and unable to get any feed. But perhaps they finally have gotten the hang of it? At the third try, he caught one successfully for the first time and just when you thought did he get into his stride? he failed both the fourth and fifth try in a row... Things didn't end for Miyata here though. Once he succeeded on the sixth try, he actually caught five in a row from here on!! And then in the end, he put up a good fight of being successful six times and failing four times. Senga and the staff members around were all moved by Miyata chasing after suzu castella and dripping in sweat, so as far as it goes, mission clear!

Having read through the path of the suzu castella, he made a miracle catch!
The Playback♪ Yesterday corner for this issue can be found translated here. I did not translate the small corner where you guess which body part is which member's because there are previous rounds that I have not translated, so I will post several at once. The quiz portion (Kiss Kara Foot Made Kaitai Q-Sho) can be found translated here.
Some corners might be more interesting than others, but still, it's nice to read something nice and brief, but still get to know each member some more.
Hope people enjoyed reading!
