February 2006 Newsmaker Chapter 1
^^; 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
( Read more... )
Ahaha, bring on the discussion~ XD
Only when we acknowledged our own imperfections and strengths can we be more successful, because we know ourselves better, develop our strengths further, and take more care in not making a mistake.
Nice. I love your description! :D Do you mind if I point the other readers down to your comment? I think a few people have difficulty understanding that concept, and I thought you explained it beautifully. Better than mine anyway. XD Yeah, it all goes back to ourselves, it always does. :3 It's not easy to even acknowledge our mistakes, but to learn from it and derive something out of it is even harder, I think. It takes a lot of introspection and self-awareness.
He works, he reflects, and then he LOOKS FOR NEW WAYS OUT.
I can kiss you for saying that. XD XD YES. Exactly!! I love that he always do that~ Ahahahaha, I don't know how he functions which such little sleep. o.o;; And to actually make sense and be successful in what he does. Man, it's only 2 AM right now and I don't make sense already. XD
how sensitive of him, he doesn't really push them to their max. Rather, he asks them to follow - if they can (<- in an arrogant way? XD j/k). We just wish that he'd apply the same theory to himself, and not push himself to BEYOND the max and fall over at concerts. ;_;
:D :D Yeap~ Wow, you really get the whole article. XD At least I didn't fare too badly on the translation then. Fufufufufu. ^^ I said this before in another comment for another article. I think he might be the one most disappointed when his staff fails, because he has such high hopes and expectations of them. It doesn't mean that the staff aren't good, but... seeing a part of your group leave because they can't keep up must be pretty hard.
I hope that he's going to your country so you can go to his concerts! ;D
That's very sweet of you! :D Thanks~!
Ahahahahahahaha, now this way is more me-ish. XD XD I'm a tame lion here~~ XD;;
You are most welcome!! :D And it's nice to have you beside me. ^^

Please feel free to point readers to my comment, as long as you are sure I am not doing an injustice to Gackt's words! Ah, and thank you very much for believing in what I said too. I really believe in that, you know. ;D
But just to add to that: I think that with learning from our past and being introspective, it is just as important to leave the mistakes behind us. I think this is what Gackt is saying too.....? Because, of all the people in this world, the one we are most critical of is OURSELVES. When we make a mistake, we tend not to forgive ourselves so easily; but this is not good, because this stresses us out and we cannot move forward. We have to gather our courage and say,"Man I screwed up bad! But I will remember this and never let it happen again. And now it's time to put it behind me." <- this, I think, is easier said than done 99% of the time, and it also takes a long time. Definitely takes a STRONG character and mindset to do this. Like Gackt. XD
(ack.. be back to comment more later XD annoying "flies" hovering behind my back, if you catch my drift. XP)

Aaah, you do have a point there. Too many times we linger on past mistakes and it binds us, making us unable to move forward. What we can do is to accept it, learn from it and progress onwards. ^^ Haha, most os the things ARE easier said than done, but isn't that what makes life interesting? ;D Fighting should be seen as a challenge and not something to be feared~
XD *swats your "flies"* XD I'll just reply to the other comment here then. ^^
XDD Well, that is true. Most celebs don't get more than 5 hours sleep a day, I suspect. The amazing thing to me is that he still has time to watch DVDs between journeys. @_@ Me, I would be snoring like a dead pig already. XD;; I'm impressed at his ability to juggle his time beween work and pleasurable pursuit~ That is why ever since I know Gackt, I've stopped using the excuse "I didn't have time to do xxx" ._.
Thanks a lot for saying that!! ;;=;; *hugglies* Well, I do know that there are much to be improved on my translations, and I want to work even harder. ^^ Fight~!
Ahahahahahahhaha!!! XD;;
:D :D I'm really glad you think so~~

You know, that whole thing about him sleeping for 3 hours every day.. I think that many celebrities (well, the popular ones) do that, it's like the norm. They are so busy jumping from one interview to another that they don't get rest, and their bodies fail them at times. -___- I don't understand why that has to be the case in order for a popular person to survive.. but when he says he only sleeps for 3 hours, I totally believe him. On that small amount of sleep, I'd be like o.O;; KEEL. ME. NOW. XD
Wow, you really get the whole article. XD At least I didn't fare too badly on the translation then.
If you really think that I "got" the article, then that is just the same as saying that your translation was very accurate and well-compiled. XD I always think that you do a great job with translations! Even if I can't tell what the original article actually says, the amount of effort/comments/explanations that you put in tells me that it must be PURR~FECT. Or close to there. ;D
Yes, you stay as a tame lion. Here~ *bows* Diablo, your faithful servant, at your command. XD
I really like this article - aside from more Gackt words and quotes XD his words are a reminder to me why and how I should be a person with a strong mindset, and also yet another example of how "if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything". ;D Thanks, Sweiled and Gackt! ;3
