^^; It suddenly feels weird, awkward even, to post a translation after such a long absence. After much poking (and stabbing and jabbing and whacking and mushing XD), here is the translation for Newsmaker Feb issue

*dances* thank you so much for translating this! its so huge too!! @_@

It is the word “省く”. This word “省” can sum up one’s entire life.
*burns word into memory* XD
Im not too sure I understand exactly the whole concept of what he was saying but it seems to make sense at the same time. ^_^;

We are currently planning my activities as a vocalist in Asia.
頑張って　ね Gakuto-sama!!!

It is a fact that the power of America is growing too large currently. The strength to fight that more as best as we can, as well as an influential voice is necessary for Asia.
eh? *whimpers*
if he is gonna fight America, can it wait till I get to Japan first? lol...
Im not sure what all that was about... I hope Gackt doesnt dislike Americans (like the rest of the world -_-;) though I cant really blame him. ><

said that the influence of culture is necessary right now to unite Asia. So I would like them to lend me their strength.
awww~ *tear* the altruistic egoist... I so want to help him. I dont know how... it makes me sad. T_T

I have no interest in

XD XD Does it? I thought it was short~ I was trying to read my friends list, but then LJ and my comp went wacko. -_- Maybe because I went back like, 200 entries. XD;; So I came back to Sweiled. (Boy, that was random XD)

You are welcome, sweetie! :D

Im not too sure I understand exactly the whole concept of what he was saying but it seems to make sense at the same time. ^_^;
^^;; I feel much the same way at first. I read it a few times and finally understood. I thought kuro_no_diablo gave a great explanation of it. :D

Im not sure what all that was about... I hope Gackt doesnt dislike Americans (like the rest of the world -_-;) though I cant really blame him. ><

I highly doubt it. ^^ Since he seems to go to America often in the past, I think he likes it fine. But in terms of politics, everything is different, right? You can't put the two together. :D

I so want to help him. I dont know how... it makes me sad. T_TI believe that by supporting him, you are already helping him. :3 The way I see it, he can't really do what he wants to by

[vanilla_girl_09]

Gackt gets lots of attention naturally, which is good cuz he likes it. I get lots of attention naturally, which is awfull cuz I hate it! lol... thus I've always been amused at how he is in the spotlight. Like I replied to tarogirl, I stopped saying it cuz I dont want ppl to think he is greedy.
Anyone who can act, sing, perform etc... amazes me, cuz Im a nervous twitching fidgetty wreck when put on the spot. And Gackt is Mr. Poker face. XD

[sweiled]

Ahahaha, I got you. XD Erm, for myself... I like being in the spotlight, but I hate being in the spotlight. XD I like it when people listen to what I have to say kinda spotlight, but not when people crowd around me too much. Basically, I'm most comfortable in my own circle of friends.

XDDDDDDD

"When people enter society, most turn jaded and forget what's truly important. And even when they saw someone young and new with passion and ardor, they won't encourage the person and would instead make fun and laugh at their naivete. Personally, I pity them for losing their passion."

You are absolutely right. Way too often the older that people get they allow what has happened to them to color themselves and how they perceive things and they end up being overly cynical and biased and as you put it, jaded. They forget what it is like to have goals and to have inspiration and a love for something. *sighs* I too feel badly for people who have become such hollow shells. If you aren't passionate about at least one thing in your life then I don't think that you are really living life to the fullest.

[sweiled]

I agree. I think when one lives without passion, then that person isn't truly living at all. But then, I do know some people who ARE content with living without dreams or goals to pursue, who are content with following the flow and what society sets. I can't stand that way of living, but at the same time I do envy their ablility to think so simply. ^^

[vanilla_girl_09]

^_^;; well it wasnt a realization because it wasnt the same in mind... the fact that he is making money to support himself plus the bills for these extravegant concerts makes me feel badly because its way above and beyond what I expect and what IMO the fans deserve. I cant say that I have "seen the light" because it never was a matter of disrespect, it wasnt even a matter of poking fun at what I considered a flaw. To me, I was merely amused at the fact that he does enjoy the spotlight, which he does, because thats what drives him is the love of the fans as well as the love of music.

Its not that I feel bad for what I think, but I do feel bad that most people see that as a comment that he is greedy. Thus I cant say it anymore cuz it never meant greed and I really dont want people to think he is greedy.
