So, here's the usual birthday thing:

Massu is now officially 20!! And Jin 22!!
I can't believe how old they both are...Massu seems like a 18-year-old and Bakanishi 15 XD
But I'm glad that Massu is finally old enough to drink, so no risk of suspension here XD
(Now everyone will be out of risk once Tegonyan turns 20 in a year and half, since i don't think Kusa's stupid enough to get into trouble for the same thing twice XD)

My 10-things-I-like-about-the-birthday-boy/girl thing was discontinued for like, 3 months...XD
I missed a lot of people's birthdays (including Keichan >.<) so I'll do both Keichan and Massu today!! (and maybe make up for others at a later date which is going to be never pretty soon XD)

All Japanese
I took this from...well, several Japanese blogs...Nattin-san's blog
Either way, here goes

I'm moving to the new house right now. Yes. In the middle of the night...

meanwhile my boys are singing as I type now...in the city that I lived in for 2 years.
Now that I think about it it's so ironic that, at the same exact place 8 years ago lived a girl who then could never have guessed that she'll one day be so crazy about a group of boys who would be performing there.

It's sad that it's their last activity as a group this year. I hope there's good NEWS tomorrow morning from Sendai.

I hope there is good NEWS, along with the daybreak. (from Yumeno Kazu dake...)

As title suggests, trans fat lations for bits and parts of Kei-chan's April J-web entries ^____^; mainly the conversations between members, etc....
I also included one of Pi's entries because I felt really.....touched XD...but I didn't translate all of his because most of it has been translated before, and I'm currently working on Shige's (the one that I'm mostly excited about!! XD) since it's so much trouble (cat faces at the end of each sentence...)
I didn't do any of Ryo's, as there are few, they're looong, and he only talks about K8 members.....T_T but anyways~ Enjoy the rest !!
(My comments in this colour)

Translations credits to me @ </font>shine8


This is my first time I play lead in a drama so I feel really insecure,
but the members all say that they'll watch Kurosagi.
I felt really happy ^o^
The feeling of working hard for everyone is growing inside my heart.

If someone takes interest in me through the drama,
then maybe they'll know I'm one of NEWS members,
and then maybe they'll listen to NEWS songs?

The  concert tour ends on April 30th!
I can't wait to give the next concert.
The next concert will definitly be 10 times as big as now, please look forward to it.
Sorry for being so boastful *laughs*

I was really touched by this entry  since I mean, I became a fan after Nobuta and all........Yamapi's really becoming a true leader now!!!



- From Koyama's Member Love 4/3/06

P [Moshimoshi~ Are you sleeping?]
Kei [Mm. Kurosagi?]
P [What kind of shampoo do you use?]
Kei [Ha?]
P [Because it smells the same.]
Kei [It's XXXXX (Product name)]
Later confirmed to be Asience....Damn I wanna buy that shampoo...but Shige uses Herbal Essence so I'll just use that!! XD
P [It's the same as mine. see ya then~]
Kei [Eeeeh??]
P [Good night~]

Pi's such a weird kid XD Calling others at night when they're sleeping just to confirm SHAMPOO BRANDS!!!

I went to eat Okonomiyaki with Ge~shi~ the other day. (What the...Shige becomes Ge~shi~ now??)
For dessert we had Kuromitsu Kakigori (er..Japanese...slushie? is that even the right word for it??)
So the sweets-lover Kei-chan is really hyper!!
When we're paying:

Ge [It's okay, I'll pay today]
Kei [Senpai~ You're so cool~ thanks so much]
So he paid for us.
And now we're going to be shopping for Yamapi's birthday!



- From Koyama's Member Love 4/7/06

Apparently Koyama and Shige goes shopping together on a stormy day, and the strong wind breaks Shige's umbrella (flipped inside out)

Shi [... ...]
Shige's getting angry without a word.

Um~ Shige-san's angry?
Actually he's not angry.
These kind of things don't really make people mad so easily....

Kei [*laughs because he couldn't hold it any longer*]
Shi [... ...]
So scary...

Kei [This is too funny, I need to take a picture of this for Member Love]
Shi [Okay]
He seem to be happy that he's going to be in Member Love!
Then we went shopping together, Shige being wet all over. *laughs*
My umbrella is the small kind, so if we use it together we look.....(you look what?? Homo??? *dies*)

Now that I think about it, we bought the same kind of jeans that day,
Shige was imitating me. (Rrrright) 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I filmed Kurosagi with Yamapi!
When we're taking a break, the staffs asked: [Yamashita-kun, Koyama-kun, do you want coffee?]

Kei [Um, I don't really drink coffee, can I have tea instead?]
Pi [Ah, I want black coffee please.]

Kakkoii!!! <---Honestly I can't think of a word for it...maybe "cool" could work?
From all the people I know, those who drink black coffee are the mature and reliable adults.

Actually, the next day I was the only one shooting Kurosagi.
So I was planning to say: [Black coffee, please] today.

During break, staff member says: [Koyama-kun, is coffee...er, I mean tea okay?]
Kei [Ah~ yes....ahahaha....]
One can not force themselves to do something.

When am I going to drink black coffee?
from Koyama with 4 cubes of sugar in his tea.

I don't really drink coffee either...if I had to I would drink double-doubles (Canadians only??!) or mocha or cappucino or something of that sort......
So i'm glad someone from NEWS is on my side XD TEA 4-EVA!!! *dies*
Shige seems like the kind that drink black coffee in order to look good XDDDD

~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY ~

We held a birthday party for Yamapi in Hokkaido.
At the moment when the date changed to April 9th,
All of us NEWS went to Yamapi's room to celebrate.
Even during the concert, we singed him the "happy birthday" song. Yamapi seemed very happy!
I truely wish him a happy birthday!

I couldn't find the original Japanese to this entry...so I had to translate from the Chinese........T_T so I didn't fully understand the next part where he talks about not being able to eat a certain kind of seafood (海胆 in Chinese...what the hell is that?? SEA URCHIN???） Either way...here goes:

When we were in Hokkaido some people sent us food! It turned out to be ramen, and was very delicious!
As yummy as the ramen from my place *laughs*  And there was fish eggs and sea urchin!! (@_@ I'm assuming it's supposed to be Tarako &  Meitaiji)
I like neither of the two!! (duh if it's SEA URCHIN / fish eggs....sorry if I offend people who like to eat those...T_T)
I thought it would be wrong if I couldn't eat any, so I tried the fish eggs and sea urchin.
And I still don't like them!!
Koyama did not grow at all.

The most delicious thing was the melon jelly! It was a bit too cold!
Surprisingly no one else ate it, so I ate them all by myself!
I'm stuffed!! But since it was so good I kept on eating and eating!!
As expected I really do like Hokkaido!!

I feel that just by looking outside the window when moving in a bus,
my heart seem to be calmed, and my soul is soothed.
I want to go to Hokkaido again!!
Until next time, I have to learn to eat sea urchins!! (X_X please....)

Ah, tomorrow's Shige's drama, don't forget to watch it!!



- From Koyama's Member Love 4/14/06

My friends from university are all wearing suits because of job interviews.
I want to wear a suit too!!
I'll just wear a suit to school tomorrow *laughs*

That's pretty much there is to his entry on that day....-___-


Wagahai wa Shige de Aru coming soon....or not.....XD

音のないサヨナラには切なさが滲んで
The good-bye said without a sound is permeated with sadness 

君が背中を向けたその時　涙が急にこぼれた
At the time you turned away from me, tears suddenly started to drop from my eyes 

そして通り抜けられない迷路の中に  
And then in a maze without an exit 

君を探す 
I keep searching for you.

心はどこまで痛みを背負えるだろう？
How much pain can one's heart withstand?   

砂時計は最後の一粒だけ 
Only the last grain of sand in the hourglass  

まだ少しためらってる  
is hesitating still. 

信じてた君と出会い恋をした気持ちを 
The feeling of encountering and falling in love with the one I believe 

それ以外には何もいらない
 I don't need anything besides it   

それが全てと思ってた 
I thought that was everything 

なぜか大切に思う程傷つけてたり傷ついてる 
But for some reason we hurt and is hurt by what is most precious to us. 

忘れてしまえば　どんなに楽なんだろう？
  How easy would it be to forget everything? 

砂時計は最後の一粒だけ  
Only the last grain of sand in the hourglass 

まだ少しためらうけど
 Is hesitating still. 

心はどこまで痛みを 背負えるだろう？
  How much pain can one's heart withstand?

砂時計は最後の一粒だけ 
Only the last grain of sand in the hourglass 

まだ少しためらってる
 Is hesitating still 

いつまでもためらってる
 and forever will it hesitate from falling.

Note: Maybe "permeated" wasn't the best word to use...but the only other word I came up with was "osmosis"....yea I know too much biology for me -___-
Original lyrics from rikie in news_jpop ^^

Even though it's the 8th here, but I know it's already the 9th in Japan so:

YAMAPI HAPPY 21st B-DAY



黒髪のあなたへ：　『心から、お誕生日おめでとう。』
I hope it's going to be a good year for you~~ And I hope NEWS will be back as a group of 8 by the time of your 22nd B-day!!

---------------------------------------------

I saw on a Japanese blog (Jyani-zu no Burogu by Haruru-san) where the webmaster made a list of 10 things she love about the person who's having the birthday, so I thought I would do the same thing for fun. So here's 10 things I love about Yamapi:

1. His face is prettier than a girl
2. His body is macho manly and sexy
3. He has amazing talent in creating a character
4. He works hard to achieve his goals
5. He always talks the talk AND walks the walk
6. He's honest
7. He's becoming a true leader
8. He has faith in NEWS
9. He doesn't brag (like his best friend A from KAT-TUN XD) even though he's hell popular
10. He's just so damn sexy now with black hair

----------------------------------------------

LOL...this should be interesting...I'll do this on the B-days  for every one I know (JE and my friends) from now on XD (even though one of my friends' birthday was yesterday T_T....even though it's one day late Happy B-day SONIA!!)

----------------------------------------------

Edit: I can't believe I didn't mention these two things I love about Pi:

11. Boobies
12. Legs

*dies a thousand times*

During Fukuoka con, Koyama & Shige went to the shower rooms together (why the hell do those 2 always go take shower at the same place?? lol). 

Koya: [...shige, don't you think the water's too cold?]
Shige:[...yea..it's freezing] 

some minutes later they decided that there was something wrong with the showers, thus Koyama decided to get a hotel staff to help. With only a bath towel around his waist, Koyama successfully found a staff member, who decided there was no hot water and it can't be fixed in a short amount of time...Koyama suddenly remembers Shige's existence, went back to the shower rooms to find naked Shige shivering in the cold...they then gave up the idea of showering and went back to their rooms. A minute later, Ryo was spotted coming out of the shower rooms... 

Koya: [Ryo-chan! Wasn't the water freezing?]
Ryo: [Not really.]
K&S: [... ... ...]
