Hello there!
This is my first attempt in translating Johnny's WEST related post. And since I received one magazine from my Japanese co-worker, I decided to try translating this very interesting post about them.
I am not a native Japanese or English speaker so please bear with me. Any corrections are always welcome.
For my first post, I bring you Hama-chan!
どうぞ!

★ The plans that I've made before
When I was in grade school, I would always systematically finish all my homework on the first three days of summer vacation! But at that time, I did not have a study desk so I would always do my homework on the glass table or while lying down on the floor of my room. I asked my mother to buy me a study table and she said, "I will save money so just wait for it," and believing those words, I had been doing my best in studying, but there were no signs that she would buy one for me. When I was in middle school, I was hooked up with basketball and dreamed of becoming a pro, so I immersed myself in (basketball) activities in summer. I was not able to do my homework just as I planned. Instead, I finished everything on the last minute. And then that one thing happened in summer of my 3rd year in middle school. Mother asked, "Shall I buy a study table for you?", I replied, "I'm not gonna need it now." (LOL) Perhaps, mother didn't really plan to buy me a study table.
★ The plans I recently did
Two months ago, I did at least one hour of muscle training in the gym for about one to two days. To gain more strength, I was also able to carry a 70kg barbell, which is heavier than my body weight! But at one point I felt like "Finally!" Then I had no free time going to the gym since our tour began, and I had been idling for about two weeks. I did enough training for our live performances, but it seems that my muscles were gone. I might be unable to carry a 70kg barbell anymore, so I went to the gym again and planned to get my muscles back!
★ What I'm secretly planning right now
I'm secretly making my bangs long. I was worried about what I should do with my bangs at one point, but if I grow it longer, I thought, "I might become more handsome." (LOL) Has everyone noticed it?
★ My ideal summer plan
I want to go to Hawaii or Okinawa! I went to both places for work and it was very enjoyable. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable if I also go there in my private time? Thinking about it makes me excited. Particularly, the beach in Hawaii is beautiful, and their streets are very pretty and it is filled with a calm atmosphere. It was so enjoyable and definitely the best. If only I have four days rest, I want to go to the beach and stroll freely around the town.
