Here is the second of three parts of their 39-minute talk that was included in the regular edition of their latest single! I had to cut it off a bit early since I want to keep each question complete, so the last part will be a bit longer.

If all goes well, you'll get to read the final part tomorrow. Enjoy!

Here is the first part of three for their 39-minute long talk from the normal edition of their latest single! This part is mostly some dorky self-introductions and answering a couple of questions submitted by fans.

The other parts should be up soon, hopefully over the next couple of days. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Here is the second half of Disc 2 from their latest concert DVD! sakini_pikanchi will be taking on the task of subbing since they already have it timed, but if anyone else would like to do their own feel free to use my transcript as long as proper credits are given (and I'd like a copy of the file as well). :)

First half can be found here. Enjoy!

Started translating Disc 2 of their BLAST in Hawaii DVD, which consists of a 85+ minute documentary that I highly recommend watching! Unfortunately, due to time constraints and the fact that I really dislike subbing, I am only translating and will not be subbing this file myself. If a subbing team would like to use this transcript to sub their own ( Read more... )

Translated the latest volume of Nino's serial column in MORE on a whim. This was pretty interesting to me since Nino is rarely so candid about his back pain, which the magazine also noted.

Scan credit goes to nada醬. Enjoy!

Last part of Mary Kitagawa's 10-page exclusive interview with Shuukan Bunshun is up! This part addresses the so-called neutral faction and also veers off topic to talk about Julie's possible relationships with Higashiyama and Matchy in the past. Nevertheless makes for a very interesting read ( Read more... )

Here is the second part of the 10-page exclusive interview which Mary Kitagawa had with Shuukan Bunshun. The bulk of this part is focused on the faction war issue, and a certain somebody makes a surprise appearance midway through the interview. Definitely give this a read ( Read more... )

At a friend's behest I start translating this 10-page monster of an exclusive interview which Mary Kitagawa had with Shuukan Bunshun. It touches on many Johnny's groups and more importantly addresses the faction war rumors that have been brewing for years. Definitely worth a read, though I'm only done about a third of the entire article and haven't ( Read more... )

Translated this short crosstalk between Sho and Jun from 2002 on a whim. They were both pretty into films but liked completely different stuff-- read on to find out which movies they liked and why they almost got into a fight!

Are your movie tastes more like Sho or more like Jun? ;) Enjoy!

Couldn't resist translating this because the talk was so cute and domestic. They were asked to imagine themselves living together and they promptly began dividing up all the roles. There's a second talk where they talked about their winter memories as a group, and one last section where they recced their favourite Arashi songs for winter ( Read more... )
