[Translation] Potato 08.2012 Jesse Lewis and Juri Tanaka
Since interest was expressed in the parts of the other Bakaleya boys from this issue, I've begun translating them. First up are Jesse's and Juri's parts (⌒▽⌒)☆.
[Jesse Spirit #1-Have A Calm Heart] Me, I usually don’t get angry. Though there are often people who easily get angry around, when that happens, the surrounding atmosphere becomes kind of shaky. I think that really sucks. Of course there are times that I get pissed off, but I try to keep it in my heart, put on a smile, and forget about it (smile).
[Jesse Spirit #2-Acting Fast!] For example, if I’m going to an appointment by train, I don’t take the one that arrives barely in the nick of time, I try to ride one that gets to the place at least 1 arrival time earlier. I leave my house intending to arrive 30 minutes early to work, and get to school 20 minutes before it starts too. Everyone knows that it’s bad to be late, but it’s also bad when you have to hurry like: “oh no~ I’m gonna be late.”
[Jesse Spirit #3-Checking For Lost Items On The Go] When leaving the house, or when getting off the train, I check one-by-one that things like my cell phone and wallet are in my bag, at the pace of my steps. I wouldn’t say that I’m a forgetful person, but losing things is a bad habit of mine. And if you make sure that nothing is lost, you have nothing to worry about.
[Current Status] I went to see Shimura Ken-san’s stage-play for one of my classes. I got to witness comedy that I’d seen on television before my eyes. The parts that are funny in the stage play are the same ones that are funny on television, but seeing it live feels different after all. I laughed like crazy. It sure was a fun class~.
[Juri Spirit #1-Don’t Get ‘Washed Away’ By Others] Speaking frankly, I hate when I pay attention to others and don’t express myself. Like when I pay too much attention to my sempai and don’t speak up, or when I hold myself back because I’m afraid of failing… Whenever a friend asks me to do something or gives me advice, and I don’t want to do it, I apologize. Doesn’t that show that I’m a distant friend, rather than a true friend?
[Juri Spirit #2-Don’t Show A ‘Dark’ Expression] I think the only redeeming quality I have is my cheerfulness (smile). That’s why I always want to be smiling. Even on days when I have no energy, I want to persevere in front of others and smile for them. For me, I have no mental weaknesses (smile), so the lack of energy would be a completely physical thing.
[Juri Spirit #3-Keeping Promises] If I say that I’ll do something, I will absolutely do it. Even if it’s impossible to do at that moment, if I said that I’d do it, I will. Therefore, conversely, if I think: “I don't know if I can do this…” from the beginning I won’t say that I’ll do it (smile)!
[Current Status] I don’t know how long this has been going on for, but wherever I go, Jesse is there (smile). We’re always together, so somehow I’ve come to think of him as part of my family. I want to be with Jesse and the others from Bakaleya foreverrrr~.
