Chinen Yuri's 5 best Good Plays*
1. Worked with Ohno-kun
2. Jump's nation-wide tour
3. Safely/Peacefully entered High school
4. Came to understand the enjoyment of walking
5. Sho-kun's drink...
(Chinen's Note): When I think of Takaki-kun, I think of Hikaru-kun
This year's No. 1 Unusual Play was falling of the stage at the Tokyo Dome concert while doing sports games yo. It was really an odd play *laughs*. My No. 2 Unusual Play was when we returned to Tokyo from doing concerts around the country and I was able to talk with Arashi's Ohno-kun. At that time, he was only able to say 'otsukaresan'*, but I was super nervous… that was a meaningful incident yo. More over, when I think of the ending of summer this year, weren't you surprised at how quickly it got cold? Ah I see. I had times when I would wake up in the morning and I'd be ready to go to school, only to realize that it was a Saturday and we didn't have school.
I'd also be fairly surprised when we'd be on location for work and I'd hear a voice that I thought was Takaki-kun's, but it'd actually be Hikaru-kun who dyed his hair blonde for his drama.
(Side note): I had a talk with Ohno-kun~
(Chinen's Note): Ohno-kun drew a portrait of me~
My number one Good Play was when I worked with Ohno-kun na. I was nervous but he talked very kindly to me and drew a portrait for me yo. JUMP's nation-wide tour that we produced ourselves was also awesome. The fact that we have our own fan club now has also made me happy na.
Entering highschool was my third best Good Play. School is fun, and I love it because I can discover new stuff in the learning of Geography and Modern History Studies (Thanks to stevenica for translating), I love it. Moreover, I take walks and I think it's fun finding nature (greenery)* in the city. My mother saw a cardboard cut out of Arashi's Sho-kun advertising a drink for a CM, so she bought two boxes of that drink for me, I was super happy na. Next year I want to try and make it a year where there are a lot of new discoveries ne.

Cheese Nabe* is the best!
This time, my mom made cheese nabe. Up until now, I've always eaten motsunabe* but, for the first time I ate cheese nabe with meat and vegetables added in and it was incredibly good yo.

* Culture Notes:
Unusual Play- Original word is 珍プレー... It's a baseball term for an "Unusual Play"
Good Play- Original word is 好プレー... It's another baseball term for a "Good Play"
Sports Games- Original word is 運動会... An athletic meet is held once a year at high-schools where the students do relays and play games...
Edit: He was doing activities/games with the juniors for a concert so that's why he used the term "athletic meet" - thanks to aya_no_michi for telling me that ^_^
Otsukaresan- It would sound weird if I translated so I just left it... otsukaresan basically means 'good work today'... normally used in a business setting... Ohno said it pretty casually though... it's normally "otsukaresamadeshita"
Nature (greenery)- The translation is a little weird, but basically he's saying it's fun when you find places with a lot of plants, trees, and greenery... since finding nature in the city is a pretty rare
Cheese Nabe & motsunabe- Type of Japanese food... you guys can look it up... I don't feel like explaining it >_<
A/N: This is my first translation & my first time posting so I'm sorry if it's not that good. >_< There's a lot of language and cultural barriers that are hard to explain... and my Japanese-> English is far from perfect. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading ^_^... I might try and do the other members too if I can get better quality scans... I keep straining my eyes to try and decipher the kanji with the ones I have +_+
