First post of the year

Jan 12, 2017 01:41

So, first the unnecessary rambling. Happy New Year!!
..
So late!! I've been so lazy lately!! I had the content of this post ready like 2 days ago, and yet..I couldn't start this post, and now.. it's late and I'm not sure whether I'll be able to finish it by today.. or before going to sleep. Either way, I've started a sort of closing post for 2016 and starting 2017, so I'll leave most of my rambling to that post.. and actually start this, douzo~

Well, I have many goals for this new year, as usual, and regarding this journal, if this gets to continue, one of those is to translate a certain blog about a certain radio show. After translating Inoo-chanxHika-chan's unit song, *which btw, after listening to Bokugoha's movie's song I actually wished they'd have done some reggae,* lol, going back to the main subject here, I'll be translating, or trying to do so, Rajira's blog and my impressions on the show; since I got used to listen to it weekly, and I quite enjoy it. So, in order not to write much about how this process will be done, I'll make a master-post of this, and there, hopefully explain better, how I'll work on this.

8:05
At 8 o'clock the hosts are Hey! Say! JUMP Yaotome Hikaru-kun and Inoo Kei-kun

Yaotome: "Happy New Year! I'm Yaotome Hikaru"
Inoo: "Happy New Year! I'm Inoo Kei. Our end-of-year concerts were really fun!"
Yaotome: "The dome has a beautiful view!"

8:15

Wednesday Campanella's Kenmochi Hidefumi-san and KOM_I-san(Komuai) are introduced!

8:30

I'll seduce YOU tonight
This time is a team game!
Yaotome/Kenmochi-san team against Inoo/Komuai-san team!

In the first round the object is a demon's mask!

The one that goes first is Yaotome-kun,
"Happy New Year!
What's wrong? Growing horns and looking all angry.
What..? Did I do something wrong? I have no idea..
If I wear the mask.. I'll be kissing you"
Komuai: "It won't be a kiss!"

Next is, Komuai-san
"Why are you becoming so red?
What are you hiding behind? Maybe you're hiding some pure white.
So, it is such a pure white, ne~. Then, I'll become demon too ~ "
Yaotome: "It's a knock out!"

The object for the second round is Pudding!

Tea and pudding, "Chaplin" (it's the combination of the two words in Japanese)
The first one is Kenmochi-san
"Pudding-chan, have you changed your hair colour after a long time?
It suits you, that brownish.
Won't you want to go to my house now?
Today, my parents will be gone!"
Inoo: "Let's go! Let's go!"

Next is Inoo-kun
"Can I touch you? What?
You, why are you this soft?
It's my first time touching something this soft.
Can I eat you?"
Yaotome: "What was that?!"

And the result of the listeners' voting,
The winner is Inoo/Komuai-san team!

And now, further info and my impressions about this week's Rajira (I'm using some transcriptions from this page)
2017-01-07 Rajira! Saturday
Guest: Wednesday Campanella's Kenmochi Hidefumi and KOM_I

Opening

* They've read a mail from a listener that attended to their concert and she comments that she lost her voice for the following 3 days and she asks the following request *
○ Please tell me the story behind the concert

Yaotome: "I got really nervous at Your Seed's hook because the audience was already too excited."
Inoo: "The band tried something new too, we also added some rap, right?"
Yaotome: "There was also the incident when Inoo-chan's keyboard broke"
Inoo: "That was frustrating. It was a problem with the equipment. It was strange since I started playing it, Yamada had to match with that key."

* This part was funny because he said that he couldn't stop playing since he's the only one at the keyboard, but they ended doing parts of the song acapella. I think the song was Chikutaku *

Wednesday Campanella's appearance

Komuai: "It's the first time meeting Inoo-san. Yaotome-san came to our live."
"It caused a big commotion inside the dressing room. I didn't know he was coming, and I was like, the real one? the real one? And then he said he came to watch us."
Inoo: "People don't usually get excited to see Yaotome Hikaru. So thanks for that."
Kenmochi: "For a famous person to ask us to see him, you can feel his warmth."

* This part was really unexpected for me at least, because it shows Hikaru's tastes in music. And this was really cute and interesting. *

Komuai: "Who thinks about producing Hey! Say! JUMP's lives?"
Yaotome: "We all think about it."

* Well this part was really interesting since Wednesday Campanella's vocalist is famous for doing different attractive lives. You can find videos around Youtube where she is crowd surfing in a ball. And some listener's mail asked about this. Hika-chan mentioned that that was really cool, but since JUMP's audience is mainly ladies it's hard for them to do that. And then Komuai adds that the girls would try their best :D
So, around here I guess was her question on how JUMP's concerts are produced, and then both stated that all of them think about them. Before that she mentioned that for Johnnies she knew that Matsumoto-san did the concert production for Arashi. And then they asked her what else she's done, and she adds that she has done the porori, which I think is when artists come jumping on stage from below, I guess, or something like that. And she sort of tells about one incident in which she had trouble with this, around the Internet you can find her telling about this, and there she said that for most of the song, audience only saw her fingers since the thing didn't work and she wasn't on stage. After all of this, we have Inoo-chan saying what follows *

Inoo: "I also want to try the porori"
Yaotome: "Your porori is not something attractive"

* Now what followed was super cool.. super cool. *
Yaotome: "I brought the bass to play Momotaro"

* Hikaru-kun said that he made a sort of an arrangement with the bass for the song Momotaro, and he wished for Komuai-san to sing it. So, he started playing and then she started singing with this amazingly weird voice.. I loved the song, the bass, everything.. *

Komuai: "To sing in a live show, Johnny's programs are really tackling"

* I won't add the seducing corner here, since is pretty much detailed in the blog translation, but my favourite was probably Hika-chan's one, Inoo-chan was basically a lot of 'ah' sounds, he's really something :P, his voice is really unique!
Ah, they also mentioned something about the reason for the pudding and the tea, and it was because two words in Japanese combined formed Chaplin which is a song from Campanella's latest album.
After this, a listener asked which bass guitar did Hika-chan used to play Momotaro live, and whether it was Gintaro (the silver one). So Hika-chan proceeds to explain that he names his guitars like something-taro, so since the guitar with which he played is light blue (mizu) it's called Mizutaro.

Here Hika-chan with Gintaro and Mizutaro respectively
And the result was:*
Winner: Inoo-kun Komuai's team
55%：45%

* So, Inoo-chan let Komuai-san made the requested song
By the end the guests said that it was really fun, and it seemed so, especially her, she was really entertaining and cute.
Later, they promote their upcoming single, OVER THE TOP for February and they said that it's a fast song, and that they'll be, once more, dancing a lot.
And a listener also mentioned that Kenmochi and Hika-chan's voices sound a lot alike, which is really true, at least for me. They talked a little about that, and that's it!!
The songs they played was Baby I love you, which was fitting for the start of the year, and the new song from Wednesday no campanella Jugem' Je T'aime, among others that I didn't take note on :P *

Masterpost Next Rajira! (01.14) >>

Well, as usual I couldn't just stop there, I find this group really interesting and you should listen to Momotaro if you haven't! and others songs if you like electronic music. And the vocalist specially is really unique, here's a quote on an article about her and the group on their latest album Superman.

“There are a lot of things in Japan that are too conservative,” Kom_I says. “It feels like there are movements going on in the government that go against what so many people in the country are feeling, so I want for some kind of ‘Superman’ to make a dramatic appearance and change things.” (Source: Japantimes)

And this was it!
Now, some pics, because I like to add pics, unrelated

Is he almost too much pink? I'm not complaining though

Chinen-chan so cute. The other day, I've watched Yakai when he was the guest and I'm so much like him!! I'm that shy! So it was really uncomfortable to watch it on screen, I wanted so much to spoiled him. Ganbare!
