Thank you so much!
I don't have enough words to tell you how grateful I am for all your translations!

This closed an important part of his life, thanks to 0409 we had month after month a glimpse to his heart and mind, the way he conveyed his feelings were always in a simple and honest way.

I always expressed my honest feelings at the moment I was writing the essay. If you accepted that and came to love my inner side as well, I’m truly happy!

He should be more than happy... I love him so much!!!

I guess this final translation really means this connection to Yamashita-san has finally come to an end. I've been looking forward to this "Last" article with mixed emotions. I wanted to know what Pi's thoughts were as he closed this chapter of his career, yet reading the final interview meant there would be no more Seventeen issues to look forward to. Of all the interviews he's done over the years, Seventeen 0409 always seemed the most honest and heartfelt. I didn't get the impression that he was telling us what we wanted an idol to say. These were really his true feelings and revealed more to us than anything else.

I think I entered the fandom around the time Pi first started this series and at that time, I didn't realize how important these monthly articles would mean to me. But it was really all the translators through the years who made these words most meaningful to the fandom. My appreciation goes out to all of them, and especially to you who brought this series to its closure.

Thank you again. My sincere gratitude to you

Similar to the comments above, I'm really grateful for your translations especially the seventeen series. At first I wasn't that into reading articles when I got into the fandom but it's essays such as this that made me admire this guy and love this fandom.

Seeing things in a different manner through the passing of time yet keeping the essentials in him the same is maturity indeed.
