[the name "MASSU-" is written that way throughout the translation because it is written in katakana in the article. The "-" at the end means a long "su" sound -i.e. MASSUU]
Yamashita Tomohisa
"From now on as well, please teach me the dance choreography ne"
DEAR MASSU-
You're always with that unchanging smile ne. I am healed with that smile. Thank you.
-Yamashita Tomohisa
From Yamashita Tomohisa to Masuda Takahisa, "thank you"
I think he has an astounding good memory yo
This year, NEWS restarted activities, and in spring had a live it hadn't had in a long time ne. That time, all the members were really fired up, saying, "Let's show something good to the fans that have waited (for us)!". But, since a long time had passed, there were songs to which we had forgotten the choreography. In such a time, it was MASSU- who remembered and instructed everyone ne.
To perfectly remember those things that everyone had forgotten is really amazing, and everyone was saved. Probably ne, MASSU-'s fast learning of new choreography is normal yo (laugh). But, the things he learns once he never forgets. The lastingness of his memory is amazing yo. As for me, I'm fast at learning, but also fast at forgetting (laugh). That's why I'll continue to need help from MASSU- from now on too yo.
I was truly healed by MASSU-'s smile
And then, this year I was relaxed by MASSU-'s smile yo. When I'd catch sight of MASSU- in the dressing room, he'd almost always be smiling yo ne. Seeing that I'd feel at peace. At today's Popolo site it's like that as well. He seemed to be having fun laughing with the staff-san ne.
Speaking of the dressing room, MASSU- is always offering drinks yo. But, in reality, I'm not that thirsty (laugh). But I accept it gratefully ne. Because he's really happy if you listen to his concern. Later, when I'm thirsty, I properly drink (what he gave me) yo.
In any case, this year I was truly healed by that kind of MASSU-. I mostly don't have mood swings but, when I'm tired, (for him) to always give an unchanging tranquillity is precious yo. I'm grateful! [1]
Always thank you! From me as gratitude a promise in public!
Let's go have a meal on your birthday!
For a few years we weren't able to have a proper celebration yo ne. On your next birthday, let's go out and have a meal or something. Let's eat the things that MASSU- would like to eat. Of course, it'll be my treat!

Something pleasant happened yo!
At the "Kurosagi" site, Yamazaki Tsutomu san taught me a drama technique. Since it's a teaching from a daisenpai [2], there was great joy inside of me.

[1] I think I got this phrase right, but I had a little problem with figuring out who was doing what. If you've read the article and think I had it wrong, please tell me ne ^^.
[2] "senpai" is a person who's had more experience than you in a certain field. "daisenpai" is a senpai you greatly respect and who's had a lot more experience than you.
