I can sit around and compliment Ryo-chan all day, but let's see what NEWS has to say about him...
I got my grades for last quarter and it's really odd... I got all A's... Including my 2 history classes that I dreaded. Oh great, now I can't go whine about how much I don't like history, everyone is just going to glare at me now. *sad*
Ah~ I need to go to sleep! It is almost 1:30AM!!
Before I got to bed, here is a translation! (.^o^.)
Messages to Ryo-chan, from 'A Happy NEWS Year Concert 2006' pamphlet...
From Tomohisa:
He is one of the guys in NEWS's noisy team (Laughs). It's sort of like Nishikido represents the west and Yamashita & Kusano represents the east (Laughs). These days, frequently, Ryo-chan has been playing the guitar and singing parodies, which is very amusing. We're powering up more and more. As we become loud, Koyama and Shige calmly neutralizes us, and based on that, our tensions become pretty balanced. However, those two can sometimes be way too serious for their own good, so in times like those, Ryo-chan or me energetically makes some noise, and conversely, we neutralize them (Laughs). In short, we seem sort of scattered, but we're actually quite balanced; that is the kind of group NEWS is. Therefore, Ryo-chan, please always stay the fun person that you are.
From Keiichiro:
Generally speaking, Ryo-chan has always been a kind person. The sharper his tongue gets, the more I think it's actually out of kindness (Laughs). I mean, I think the reason that he can have so much fun criticizing others like that is because he has love in him, and I also think that he would only say stuff to the people he trusts... That is how I'm interpreting it (Laughs). I may be way off... Besides, even though Ryo-chan may say something or the other, when he is having a normal conversation, or other very short times, you can feel plenty of his kindness. He is a person who has lots of love. However, if I say that kind of stuff, Ryo-chan may get out his sharp tongue and say, "Yeah right, I'm not like that" (Laughs). Ryo-chan, I know that in truth, you're actually the kindest person!
From Shigeaki:
From my point of view, Nishikido-kun, just like Yamashita-kun, is a charismatic person. Because, on top of all the activities he has as NEWS, he also has activities with Kanjani8 and solo jobs as well. So isn't he extremely busy? Not just his body, but I think that it also must be very difficult having to switchover his feelings one-by-one. And despite all that, he doesn't show any signs of how exhausting or painful it all must be. Furthermore, whether it be work or leisure, he takes really great care of his time. I would like to learn that toughness. If I were in the same kind of situation, I don't think I'll be able to modulate everything to his extent... I respect you!
From Hironori:
I think that all the fans know really well that Nishikido-kun is a fun person because he talks about really interesting stuff during talk shows and concerts, but if you were to really talk to him... He is even more amusing (Laughs). Nowadays, he is the number one person who takes care of me during his private time, taking me to different places to hangout. The way that he makes time to hangout with me, even though he is extremely busy, is really cool and makes me really happy! To me, he is like a reliable older brother. I really would like you to continue being loving, please!
From Takahisa:
The drama that Nishikido-kun was in, "1 Rittoru no Namida," I watched every single episode of it very seriously! I always thought, "His acting is amazing~" and I was also deeply moved. Oh, and last time, Nishikido-kun gave me some advice, saying, "Massu, why don't you get a haircut? Your current hair style is not very stylish," but I don't agree! (Laughs) I really like my current hairstyle so I'm going to keep it just the way it is... Having said that, I actually had a little bit cut (Laughs). Well, I am really happy when you inform me of the different things you realize, so please continue telling me whenever you notice something.
From Yuya:
He has been doing activities since a long time ago, so at the beginning, the image of him being a really 'high senior' was really strong. I never even thought that I would be in the same group as him. However, now, we call each other and he also invites me to hangout with him... I am tremendously happy that we get along! Nishikido-kun is a really amusing person to talk to, and it's so unbelievably fun to be with him, it just can't be helped. Like a reliable older brother, please continue taking care of me! (Laughs)
By the way, you know how I changed me layout the other day? I also went back through all my past translations and made sure that they're all colorful and I put up links on my LJ for better access to them. So now, like you can go and click the link that says 'Lyrics translations' and you'll got straight to the links which are in alphabetical order. (.^_^.) I hope everyone likes it. I will go to sleep now, before my friends yell at me~ hee... hee...
