[Trans] Potato 2008.08 - NEWS Members' Tanabata Wishes
* Do people like Happy Birthday? <3
* I've started with this trans more than a week ago, but probably b/c I've been quite distracted and busy that I got stuck on the wording a few times, ^^; , but today, the translation went pretty smoothly, lol. Anyways, sorry for the delay..
Besides NEWS members' wishes (all except for Kei-chan), I've also translated Kinki Kids, Ohkura, Jin and Koki's wishes... but since I'm not in other communities, so I'm only posting on news_jpop & kanjani8 about this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Domoto Tsuyoshi
I want a go on a half-year long trip abroad.
-- This is somewhat unrealistic, but when it comes to wishes, it's not like you can't wish for something of this level. If it's something I really want or something I can get once I put effort into it, then I don't go ask anyone for help, instead, I use my own hands, strength, and put in effort to achieve it. So a wish is not something you simply wish for but strive for right? Though, a half-year long vacation is something that I can't do no matter how hard I try (lol).
Domoto Koichi
I hope the gasoline price won't rise anymore.
-- It's because the rate of inflation is crazy nowadays. Of course... maybe compared to drinking water, gasoline price is cheaper, the price in comparison isn't so high. For cars, there are more hybrid cars recently -- better for the environment, for the entire world. But for someone who loves cars like I do, I'd still feel a bit lonely.
Yamashita Tomohisa
I want to spend this hot summer with a healthy body.
-- I want to wish for being able to keep my body healthy. If I can monitor my health well and spend this hot summer in a lively state, that would be great. Even though due to the drama I've become busy, but I don't think my health has gotten worse. Be careful and don't get sunstroke! I hope I can work hard with this type of (positive) mood. Apparently~ sickness comes from thinking/worrying too much.
Kato Shigeaki
I would like the stars to cheer for me, that I make my stage performance a success.
-- I want my one man show to be a success. Then, I want to bring myself up a level due to this stage experience and work hard, hoping that another work will follow. Because I'm performing alone, of course I'd feel nervous, but at the same time, because I've never had such an experience before, I think it would be nice if I can show some great qualities of myself. Because of this, I hope the stars can cheer for me and give me strength! (lol)
Nishikido Ryo
Wouldn't it be great if there were 36 hours in a day?
-- I want there to be 36 hours in one day. Only I get 36 hours (lol). How would I use the extra 12 hours? Sleep, play with friends, practice guitar, etc. If I have 12 more hours than other people, then I can switch between spending time on hobbies and on my other duties. If it's possible, I hope I can get 36 hours outside of work hours; but only I can get it oh (lol).
Tegoshi Yuya
I hope the various disaster areas can get restored soon.
-- Because there have been a lot of earthquakes recently, so I hope the people who are suffering due to these natural disasters can feel relieved soon. I hope the affected areas can get restored soon, and the people can feel energetic again. I hope I can one day hold a benefit concert, something that I can do and help the people who are suffering in this world.
Masuda Takahisa
Wouldn't it be nice if I can live till age 121~~~? (lol)
-- July is the month in which I was born! Being a 22-year-old, for some reason, I don't quite like it ne. For me, 21 is a number I quite like. The next number that contains 21 would be 121 right? So I hope I can live a life that is normal yet long. If it's possible, I hope I can live till the age of 121 (lol). Even if I become an ojichan (1) I can still dance -- if by then, I can still have such a good stamina that would be even better.
Ohkura Tadayoshi
Please give me a body that doesn't get fat no matter how much I eat...
-- Because I got a little fatter, so now, I have to be really careful when it comes to food. Because I can't eat my favorite rice, so it's ~~so so so painful. When we're on tour, even if I eat great food from the various cities I can get thinner again by exercising, but when life returns to normal, I'd get fat immediately. Please give me a body that doesn't get fat no matter how much I eat!
Akanishi Jin
I want to train my body and keep healthy.
-- It's probably "I hope I can maintain a healthy body". Even though it's simple but it's the most important thing right? I'll also mention then, in order to maintain my health I do... nothing in particular (lol). But, from now on, I really want to train my muscles. Nicely train my body and keep healthy, gambare ore (2), this kind of feeling (lol).
Tanaka Koki
I want to speak the languages of the entire world.
-- "I want to be able to speak 12 languages" (lol). Besides Japanese, French, Spanish, English, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, German, Russian, Thai... If I can speak all these I'd be invincible ne? Are, one more language to make 12? Then~~ how about mastering Kansai-ben? (lol)

Translation Notes:
(1) ojichan: an old man -- I kept ojichan, b/c I think the word is cute ^^
(2) gambare ore: roughly translate to "work hard, self"
