Someone requested a translation of a Taemin as I searched for it, I ended up downloading the entire magazine, and what do I find on the opposite page? D-date!! So I ended up getting like 6.
Bell said she hadn't seen this around and I have no idea.
There's a running section where you basically imagine what it would be like to date ideal versions of D-Date.
You know, highly photoshopped, scarf-wearing guys who think that as you go on a shopping date, it will feel like the two persons' sense are becoming one. <- ok that last part is just Seto. Whereas, Igarashi would like to go to a department store and play around in/ with women's clothes. Although nothing can top the movie date IMHO.
I'm missing one, if you have it, please add it. (looking at vichi)

Pop Quiz

Cats are:
A. wonderful warm balls of fur that purr when you pick them up (assuming they're in the mood)
B. energetic and playful and bounce around excitedly at anything that moves (even you)
C. the reason I was chanting "Don't look at its face" as I was going to pick up carrion in my yard.
D. All of the above

Since I was away I didn't know (or forgot) that lizstarsky was translating Yanagi's entries.

lovablyweird.livejournal.com/tag/yanagi koutarou

I haven't read them as yet, but I'm sure they're hilarious.

Ah, yes I posted Taemin's section in Junon, here.



Actually I woke up 4 am this morning I was tempted to do Onew's. I'll probably do Minho's next for kenkatz
I would have finished all already, but I've been watching Pysch, Community and Franklin and Bash
And even told setolove and angelalia that I'd watch Ouran I haven't.

I was explaining to a co-worker that I didn't feel as though I had goals, she was working and finishing her degree.
She thought it was ridiculous (that I wanted goals). Next year, I'll turn 30. I've never cared much about age, I can remember clearly when I was going for my postgrad there was a Chinese girl from Canada. She refused to tell me her age when I asked, I didn't. So I pretended once that forgot that I had asked and asked her again. As you can guess she didn't like that. Why must I be so irritating? lol
But your age is never something you should be ashamed of, regardless of what you're doing. (And you don't need me to tell you that unless you're an over 30 guy trying to pick up teen girls on Omegle.[1]  Shame on you! )
I've been very blessed in life so far, although perhaps my life is not particularly special in any way.

And then recently with Shirota's collab with a BSB (BTW full version here)
It was really his dream. This is definitely the highlight of his career so far.

This being the ..er.. lowlight


That's stolen from tumblr.
( got too long )
Then he backed down from that, did I imagine this? Sigh. Reading old entries I really miss Debbie and kureno_rooster T_T

[1] The other night I could sleep and went on omegle, it was filled with people wanting naked pictures of you and one Canadian girl who said if she would kill anyone and get away with it, she would kill Justin Bieber for shaming Canadians. Hmm. Ok. But then she went into details of how she would slice his toes off and skin him, etc, etc. )

Oh yeah and after all this, I still have NO goals. Thanks YamaP for nothing.

〜コラボレーションに至った経緯〜
HOWIE Dのソロデビュー・アルバムが日本でリリースされることについて、
「スペシャルなコラボレーションをしたい」というアイデアをHOWIE本人、レーベルスタッフとともに話し合っていた中、生まれたアイデアが
「BACKSTREET
BOYSと同じく国際的なアイデンティティを持ち、世界にも通用する日本人アーティストとのコラボレーション」というものだった。
そこで、スタッフがそれに該当する日本人アーティストを探していたとき、候補に上がったのが『U』こと城田優だった。
城田優といえば、日本人の父とスペイン人の母を持つダブルで、日本語、スペイン語に加え英語も駆使するトリリンガルというパーソナリティを持ち、
俳優としての活躍はもちろん、2011年5月に城田優ではなく世界を目指すアーティスト『U』としてエイベックスからデビューし、新人とは思えない歌唱力と音楽性の高さを見せつけ話題となった。
もともとファンということもあり、カラオケなどではBACKSTREET BOYSの楽曲を歌っていたという。
実はHOWIE自身もアメリカ国籍ながら、スペイン語が話せるバイリンガル。
両者の音楽性の高さと「スペイン」という国際的な共通項を見い出して「コラボレーションの相手は彼以外には考えられない！」と思ったスタッフは早速、
HOWIEにUとのコラボレーションを提案。HOWIEはUの歌声と音楽性を「GOOD!」と評し、それを受けてU側にラヴコールを送り、晴れてコラボ
レーションが成立することになった。
そして同時にレコーディングを行い出来上がった楽曲が「If I Sayfeat. U」だ。

Translation:
Backstory of the Collaboration

As Howie D (was preparing) for the release of his Japanese CD, Howie personally said "I want to do a special collaboration".
Working with the staff from the label (Avex), in keeping with the idea that Backstreet Boys had an international identity, they decided that they should use a Japanese artist who had an international identity as well.
As the staff corresponded while searching for a Japanese artist, Shirota('s name) popped as a candidate.
Shirota who has a Japanese father and a Spanish mother, is trilingual, speaking Japanese, Spanish and can communicate in English.
While he acts of course, he made his debut on May 5th, 2011, releasing music under the stage name "U", an Avex artist who was still (relatively unknown) and possessing high musical skills.
Howie himself while American, is bilingual, speaking Spanish as well.
Since both possess such high skills and with discovering this common "Spanish" background. The staff thinking "Having anyone other partner for this collaboration is unimaginable". So they suggested U to Howie.
On commenting on U's singing, Howie said "Good" [1]
So sending out a "Love Call" to you, the collaboration was born in public. [2]
The resulting song, (written and recorded simultaneously) is  「If I Sayfeat. U」

Notes: I did this in like 5 mins or less. It's just the gist.
[1] He might have said other stuff but it was in English so this is all you need to know, it's totally not that we didn't understand it.
[2] Does Shirota still have his radio show?

This post is about nails and well douchiness.
Are you following me on twitter? No, that's ok because I'm about to regurgitate it here.

In August:

This week I got her to marble my nails.

HecklerSpray this morning made me laugh.
"Rolling Stone, that bastion of cocking arsewipes has decided that not
only do they have the self-congratulated intelligence to judge what is
good, and what is bad, but they’ve even decided to tell everyone what
their opinion is."
It's funny and ironic since this is exactly what HecklerSpray does. However, it's mostly funny because it's true.

( Funny People )

Oh Oh! I was looking at an olddd Seto pimp post I had done, I wasn't into K-pop then and even when I looked at Full House I didn't remember that I had translated that. So even though D-Date was supposed to have a collab with Choshinsei, and even though he's probably done drugs with G-Dragon, I'm just going to pretend he's a SHINee fan.

I did this post on March 17th! But didn't post it because I was worried
that I'd misconvey it. But, what good is it sitting in a private post?




W→Water
A→Air　
E→Entertainment

WAE is made up the initials of the three essential components that make up the project.
WAE can be said to be the circle that connects the victims (of the earthquake to the company).
The name comes from the thoughts/feelings of the employees and talent attached to the company.


The three ways that WAE will be showing their support:
1. Company-wide charity auction
2. Donations collected by the agency
3. Fund-raising by the artists.

We're currently collecting donations and items to auction.
Ideas can be sent to: info@watanabe-ent.com



Endo Yuuya

We want to send cheers to bring smiles to the face of the affected. For now that's all we can do.
To be honest, we can't laugh
It hurts our (hearts), it feels like we'll burst open.
But, I think a little at a time we can bring heartfelt smiles.





Yanagi Koutarou

It's small but, let's make it a day where you can smile soon.







Wada Masato

We have... what this sort of earthquake can't make shake, we have a strong faith.
We won't forget... as this quietly finishes, to bring heartfelt smiles.
A lot of aid... a lot of goods...
Together with those, we will join our hands to yours and deliver dreams and hope.
Ganbare, Japan!!

(Note. This far more eloquent in Japanese. Sorry Wada!)


Suzuki Hiroki

SMILE！SMILE！！SMILE！！！


(Just like that in English <3 )





Igarashi Shunji

Right now, as the (news) announcement increase, so does the number of victims.
I think as with me, everyone's experiencing varous emotions; pain, sorrow, anger.
But, at a time like this, we must co-operate, we must not stop, I want (you) to move forward with (your) heads up.
Of course, I must must also do the same.
The future can be (molded) by our own hands as much as we can.
Happiness can be grasped with our own hands. For this reason, for now, we will aim for your smiles.


Araki Hirofumi

For this project, what is it that *I* can do?
I think for myself as an actor, I can use what is necessary for me to survive, like water or air, that's entertainment.

(Note: I think I made him sound flaky but the gist is that this what keeps him going so he's going to use what he can )

( Seto's message )

Shirota Yu, Jaejjong



mjjeje: Everyone in Japan... I pray for your safety.

mjjeje: I heard that Jun-chan is safe. I think that Junsu probably feels the same.

mjjeje: @U_and_YOU Yuyu be careful too.

U_and_YOU: I don't now how many people are having a sleepless night. (But) Let's pray for all of the anxiety to ease.

mjjeje: I'm glad that Junsu is safe, but, everyone in Japan, you must still be careful.


U_and_YOU: @mjjeje Thank you. I'm calm. Everyone let's hold hands and support each other. Jeje, thanks ne. Everyone in Japan is helped by your words.

This in the midst of other conversations and numerous RTs.

And then Shirota RTs Justin Bieber and I just...

PR shots from various places

( awwww )

The second to last is my least fave.

First, D-boys be Ambitious.
Wrote them down as I watched, so not very coherent and I was trying to pay attention.

( Not very coherent. )


Since I saw Araki already on pigg, I was more focused on the fresh meat Yamada Yusuke.


Our room rehearsed going tiny at the same time, so when they got there we all mini-ed and Yamada was surprised and said we were cute.
Then he and Araki took turns at going mini.
Araki did back-flips and Yamada cried b/c he couldn't do them.
Everyone kept congratulating him on Kamen Rider OOO.
I don't remember much else.
For you that don't know much about D-boys, this Yamada is actually hot in real life.
I really need to stop talking like Joori from Star King.

makichan5  has lots of pigg pictures on her lj and tilmon  has tonsss of DBA caps. Did reborn do it this week?
