t/n: This one is for lullabyeforyou. Hint: It has to do with arashi_on. ;) [edit: I don't know what's with me and making mistakes lately, but there are two additional quotes from them on a separate page that I missed out the first time. They've been added to the bottom!]

With Koichi riding on Tsuyoshi's shoulders, both of them have huge smiles on their faces. "We often

Okay, so that just might have been the most adorable thing ever. I love when you get to hear them banter back and forth with each other. Although when Tsuyoshi talked about painting his face black, I winced a little. A kneejerk reaction, I guess. We don't get to hear about them comparing their dance styles often, so it's really cool to hear that. The hair, they've talked about a lot, but I really liked hearing about their dance styles.

It really does sound like they're doing an MC or perhaps a radio show, but really it's all just too cute. I'd have to say my favourite part though was when they were talking about the car. I love it when Kouichi talks about cars and the way that Tsuyoshi kind of avoids the topic or (when they're able to edit like in Shindoi) skims over it completely.

Thanks for translating~.

*laughs* It's alright, when I read that I IRL facepalmed a little too. I was all, noo, Tsuyohshi, blackface is considered racist! :p It's probably seen as less so in Japan since they still do things like that on TV, though I'm not sure if I even need to defend him by blaming his surroundings. :p In a weird way, I think talking about their dance styles is more personal that talking about the hair, and I liked that too.

If Tsuyoshi were a maid cafe maid, he'd be a tsundere maid. Wait-- *attempting to clear the mental image now* ;;

No problem, you. :p I still owe you a couple more since this one was so short; barely a page!

It's not his fault I guess that the first thing I thought when I read about Black face was this:

[fishings]

Eh, it's what I thought of too. Though this is honestly the last place I expect to see an image like that. ;; びっくり！ Yeah, dance is work-related too and it's rare to hear them talk about work in such a way.

Kouichi, a maid? Nah, he's be found in a butler cafe. *shot* TOKIO TOO. Save Leader. I can see Leader as a maid.

Please, no. XD The mechanical parts and the names of the F1 drivers/tracks would give me hell.

So very cute and fun to read <3

Thank you for translating, Aud ^^

[fishings]

You're welcome! Glad to help KinKi show off their cute side. XDD

[ladyxenax]

Thanks a lot )))))

[fishings]

No problem at all!

Thank you for translating and sharing :)

That was a really fun conversation; felt like one of their con MC. It was interesting how they compared their dancing styles and that they could talk freely of SHOCK.

LOL at Kouichi's "But Tsuyoshi, really, though you come to the theater, you keep your eyes off me and just watch the other performers."

Cute :)

[fishings]

You're welcome!

They really don't seem to hold back even though it's for a magazine. ^ ^ This is the KinKi we all love, huh. XD

[fishings]

It's way cuter than it would have been if he'd say, gone all Oi you, enough about the cars! XD I agree that it was really sweet of Koichi to say that. I want to be reassured by Koichi too. *-* *shot*

Glad to provide such a start, though you should really thank KinKi for the source material. XD
