Banana Vault: ºC-ute's 'Omgsh what was that!?' vids

0 comments Posted by pece at 10:14 PM

Well, I was bored.. so I was watching through random ºC-ute's old concerts and stuff, and I found this reeeaally interesting vid!



How heartwarming was that!! X)
Maimi lost her voice from her illness, and wotas were kind enough to sing her lines for her!
ºC-ute has the best fans ever =D
(although it's been said that ºC-ute's concerts has the most troublesome fans where they have big fights, and big enough for the police to get involved.. lol and it's not just one time, there's been a couple of them too.. -_-")


Aaanyway, did u see what I thought I saw!?!?

Is that Maimi and Chissa kissing!?!? O_o!!
Omgsh! yes, they are!!! lolol


There's this other vid, with ºC-ute's members talking about this scene ↓



Translation:
Airi: Aaaaa! Kissing! Hey this...... hey..... hey, hey, hey!
Ume-san: In this scene,
Others: yea?
Ume-san: One of you guys... were meant to dodge the kiss right?
Chissa: Yea, Chisato (I) was meant to dodge it.
Maimi: Yea, no, Chissa first..... no, when I.... normally, yea... at first Chissa were like 'no no' and kept dodging it. But.... she didn't!
Chissa: Well, it was part of a plan. Because when Kanna couldn't attend the concert (from illness), we weren't as a whole. And when Chisato couldn't attend (from illness), Chisato wouldn't be here right?
All: yea
Chissa: So I thought I'd do it when we are all here as a whole.
Airi: 'DO IT' hahaha
Maimi: Eeeh, Hey!

---
lololol
I didn't know Chissa was a lesbian!!! lol
Well, I'm sure she didn't reeeally mean it, but the way Maimi took was so funny! She couldn't even speak properly! hahaha Xp

Airi's 'hey, hey, hey!' was cute too. lol

Aaanyway, I thought it was interesting.

Banana Translation: Berryz Koubou 'Memew' Magazine

0 comments Posted by pece at 6:11 AM

Magazine Translation Time!

This time, it's B.A.'s favourite Berryz =)
Enjoy!





NATSUYAKI MIYABI

1 - Recently, I've changed my hair color. I love changing how I look, and I'm always looking forward to see how everyone reacts. This time, I've made it darker, so I look more adult-ish. I'm now, used to styling my hair, and used to use hair-extensions, so I love rearranging them, but some fans don't understand what extensions mean, and they'd ask questions like, "do you take them off when you go to bed?". And I'd explain, "No, it's braided in with my hair". I wish this helps to those of you (readers) who wanted to know. lol

2 - Berryz Koubou will be having a Live in Thailand on the 27th of March. We've never had a Live in Thailand yet, so I'm looking forward to see how it's gonna be. And it's been confirmed that we will be having a Tour too. I would like all our fans to look forward to it!


KUMAI YURINA

1 - For our Concert Promotion, Captain, Chinami and myself went to Thailand. We've worn their traditional costumes, and ate Thai food for the first time. At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to eat Thai food. I actually couldn't handle 'Tom Yum Goong' because of the unique taste. But I loved their curry so much that I would want to eat them again when we go their for the actual concert.

2 - On the 3rd of March, we will be releasing our new single. "Otakebi Boy WAO!" is very unique, but the dance is so easy to imitate, so I would like everyone to learn, and "Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda" really fits in with this graduation season, and would like everyone to know the importance of a friend!


SUGAYA RISAKO

1 - I will be graduating Middle School soon. My school consists both Primary and Middle school, so I've never experienced having to make new friends. I have few friends who's been my classmate the whole 9 years. We were always together, and soon we'll be apart when we graduate. I never thought about losing ourselves, and it's really sad, but we could catch up whenever we want, and I somehow knew that this day would come. Oh well. lol. But I will definitely cry on my graduation. I can get really teary sometimes. When I've watched the movie called "Boku no Seishun wo Kimi ni Sasagu", I've cried in 2 minutes from the start. lol.

2 - On the 3rd of March, double A-sided single, "Otakebi Boy WAO!/Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda" will be released. I'm so happy to release it on the day of our debut. Please listen to it!


SHIMIZU SAKI

1 - I will be graduating High School. Only few days left of wearing a uniform. If you think about it that way, I feel like wearing it all the time. lol. Because I don't want people to say, "cosplay". lol. So recently, I've been enjoying wearing uniforms. And my school life too. Because you know, you can only go through High school once in a life time. So, I'm enjoying being a High School Girl! But it's really sad to graduate. You know, Risako's just getting ready to enter High School! Oh well, I guess I'll be having more time for myself, so I'll be focusing on my work and do my best!

2 - On the 3rd of March, for our 6th Year's Anniversary, we will be releasing our 22nd single, "Otakebi Boy WAO!/Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda". Again, it's a double A-sided, and their both different types of music, so hopefully people will enjoy them both. And it's been confirmed that we will be having our Concert Tour, so we are going to do our best and look forward to it!


TSUGUNAGA MOMOKO

1 - Umm~... On the 6th of March, I will be turning 18 (so depressed! lol) It's not that I don't want to be 18, because honestly, I do want to go eat dinner and be part of the conversation with the adults. So, I want to be 20 soon, but I just don't want to age.... But there's no way to avoid that. lol. I will also be graduating from High School, so I would like to take this chance to say thank you to those who took care of me, and those involved. I also want to learn how to talk like an adult, learn adult's manners, and how to deal like an adult! lol

2 - On the 31st of March, our 6th album "Otakebi ALBUM" will be releasing. My favourite song from the album is, "Kimi no Tomodachi". At first, I thought it was a good song, what a wonderful song, but then during the instrumental bit, it's soo Berryz Koubou!, so please look forward to it!


TOKUNAGA CHINAMI

1 - Recently, I've been caring more about food for my health. When you go to studio's for work, most of the time it's obento, so when I get home, I try to eat more vegetables. When I was younger, I didn't really care much, but now, I'm trying to take care of my body more.

2 - Berry Koubou will be facing our 6th Year Anniversary on the 3rd of March. And will be releasing our album on the 31st of March. I usually feel that I've grown up when I look back at old magazines, but I feel more grown when I listen to albums since it we don't have them that often. There are a lot of varieties in this album, so I would like everyone to enjoy it, and feel how we've grown up!


SUDOU MAASA

1 - I love bread, and usually I get attracted by the yummy smell and end up in a bakery. I sometimes do buy, or don't buy, but I'm into going to different bakeries at the moment. I would like to bake a bread myself. I think it's pretty hard, but since I've been appealing so much about it, I thought I should learn how to make it soon. lol.
I've acted as the main role in the movie called, "Light Novel no Tanoshii Kaki Kata". I'm still an amateur in acting, but the storyline is very interesting, so I would like everyone to watch it.

2 - Berryz Koubou's new single will be releasing on the 3rd of March, right on the day of our debut. "Otakebi Boy WAO!" is an ending song for the anime called, "Inazuma Eleven" and the song really suits the anime, and "Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda" really tells you the importance of a friend in life, so I would like everyone to enjoy listening to it!

Woa... I forgot how tiring it is, to translate 7 people! -_-" haha
Do you feel the love B.A? XP lol

Banana Translation: Buono! 'Hyper Hobby 2010 Vol. Jan' Magazine

0 comments Posted by pece at 6:31 AM

Recent Buono! appearance in the 'Hyper Hobby 2010' Magazine, January edition =) Enjoy =D



- I've listened to your 9th new single, 'Bravo☆Bravo'. It's such a happy song!
Miya: This time's a Happy Rock!
- It's such a optimistic, cheering song. I reckon it was a must for you guys to be singing this song, it's like a song just for Buono!, don't you think?
Miya: I always try to change they way I sing to suit the theme of the song. For Buono!'s songs, I try to sing with a strong, ROCK singing style. I wish people could tell the difference. Somewhat different from Berryz Koubou, we get to wear a lot of ROCK style outfits, so it makes it easier for me to adjust too - because my moods change dramatically with what I'm wearing. And with Buono! concerts, our interaction with our fans are so different to our usual concerts.
Airi: ºC-ute recently has a lot of optimistic, happy songs, but if we're talking about cheering song, it has to be Buono!. ROCK is such a different genre from what we're used to sing, so I put so much more effort when I sing within Buono!. I know Miya has already mentioned this, but, our fans at our concerts act so differently. I don't know how to explain, but the reaction of the audiences are so different from ºC-ute concerts and Buono! concerts. I wanna show my ROCK side at ºC-ute concert someday!
Momo: Berryz Koubou has a lot of Love Songs. They're all about having boyfriends or not, or about broken heart stories. But Buono!'s single songs doesn't really have those kind of songs. Even the song called "Kiss Kiss Kiss", it sounds like a love song from the title, but it's actually a cheering song. So every time I sing within Buono!, I try to sing it from the bottom of my heart so the message gets across to everyone. But even singing it ourselves, it gives us energy at the same time as well!

- The coupling song "-Winter Story-" is a winter song.
Miya: It's a cute song.
Airi: The lyrics are so cute~!
Momo: There's this line, "what are you doing now? come over here in 5 minutes" but it's such an impossible thing to say!
Airi: Hahaha~
Momo: But I like this line, "I've been loving you 2 whole years". It's such a good line~.

- By the way, is there anything you particularly pay attention to, since it's such a small group unlike Berryz Koubou and ºC-ute?
Momo: I am an official LEADER in Buono!...
Airi: lol
Miya: lol
Momo: In Berryz Koubou, we have our Captain whose older than me, so I do whatever I want to do (lol), but within Buono!, these two girls tend to be doing okay, but sometimes I need to pull themselves together since I'm the leader of the group!!
- Oh I see. Anything to say girls?
Miya: When I've first joined Buono!, I thought I need to try to be more responsible and independent. Because within Berryz Koubou, I rely on Captain (Saki) a lot, and even Maasa whose the same age as me, she's more like an older sister who's reliable.
Momo: Wait a minute, what about me? I'm older too!
Miya: But within Buono!, I feel like I have to take the lead. Because like Airi, at events and suff, she tends to do mysterious moves and sometimes daydreams...
Airi: Ooops.
Miya: But usually she's fine, so I'm not so worried, but with Momo, you have no idea what she'll do next. That's when I think I'll need to step forward and stop her before it becomes a total mess-up.
Momo: That's not true! You can rely on me!!
Miya: I've been trained a lot within Buono!.
Momo: .......
Airi: There's no Buono! without Miya's support.
Momo: ..... Okay then!
- How about you Airi-chan?
Airi: I actually act more freely within Buono!. I daydream a lot. Because within ºC-ute, I'm like in the middle (age). I can be relied sometimes, but since I'm not the oldest, it's not the same reliableness as the older ones. Within Buono!, since I'm the youngest, I can just rely on the older ones, so I can do whatever, and they'll stop me if I do anything wrong.
Momo: I'll take care of you Airi!
Miya: Yea, yea.
Momo: Hey! You know, Miya doesn't know how to express her feelings properly! She is a 'tsun-dere'.
Miya: You like 'tsun-dere' don't you.
Momo: At the moment, she's acting like this, but when we are just by ourselves, she's like, "Momo, how do you do this again?" or like before our concerts, she goes, "Momo, I'm so nervous!". Miya tends to get cold hands when she's nervous, so I always say "You'll be fine!" and holds her hands!
Miya: Oh yea~, I remember those times.
Momo: Hey! You should Appeal your other side more! lol Miya!
Miya: (to the interviewer) I'm sorry about Momo acting like this.
- Oh, no problem. (lol)
Momo: Hey!
Miya: When we have concerts, and when something happens, it's usually Momo's fault.
Momo: But when Miya and Airi forgets their lines, I save you guys!
Miya: ....... I don't make mistakes.
Airi: lol. Well, anyway, we are doing our best as we can.

- I went to your last concert in August! Tsugunaga-san had a bit of a surprise there, didn't you?
Momo: ...The Aa! (group) song came on.....
Airi: It was the second time we organised a surprise event. The first time was at our first Buono! concert, and it was Miyabi-chan's Birthday. We made a Fake scrip and a Real scrip and made her surprised. So I'm getting used to making people surprised.
- That would mean that it might be your turn next.
Airi: Gueee~
Miya: That's a possibility.
Momo: Yea! There might be! But I can't tell you much about it!!
Airi: ..........
Miya: ..........
Momo: ........ sorry.

- (lol) You'll be having your first Live Tour in December!
Miya: Yes! I'm so excited, but at the same time, I'm so worried about it. But I wanna have lots of fun and show off how hot we are.
Airi: At our December Tour, we'll be singing a lot of new songs, so I'm looking forward to see the reaction of the audiences!
- How about you LEADER!?
Momo: O.. Ye.. Yea! Thank you very much! Woa.. I'm so grateful to be called LEADER! You've just made my day!
- lol.
Momo: lol. We've only been able to have a concert in Tokyo, so it's our first time to have it at Osaka and Nagoya! I'm guessing the audience's reaction would be different! So I'm looking forward to see the differences!!
- Do you have any favourite song which you would like to sing at the Concert Tour?
Momo: I wanna sing all the new song and single songs, but what I really want to sing is the song called "ROCK no Kamisama". Oh, and "-Winter Story-" will definitely suit the season!
Airi: I wanna sing that song too! The storyline is about boyfriend and girlfriend, but you could see it as the fans and Buono!.
- Oh yea! That's a brilliant idea!
Airi: Ahaa~ Thank you!
Momo: Can I say something cool too!? There's this line, "Santa Claus is sometimes you, and sometimes me" also can be seen as us being the Santa Claus for everyone........
- Oh.. Yea.
Momo: !? What is this!?
- Well, I just went with the flow......
Airi: lol. That was funny.
Momo: Hey! What about you, Miya?
Miya: Definitely "-Winter Story-".

- Lastly, Hyper Hobby's reader might not know Buono!'s songs yet, so please leave a message for the readers! Starting from Airi-chan, Miyabi-chan, and we'll get the LEADER to close the interview!
Momo: Wha!
Miya: That'd be right.
Airi: "Bravo☆Bravo" is a song which feels like we've gone back to our initial Buono! song as it's a cheering song, and the outfit are similar, and it has a similar song feel. So I would like everyone to know how Buono!'s ROCK is like. And then I want you to listen to our single and hopefully our album and I would like to see you guys at our concert someday!
Miya: I believe everyone has a dream or something what they want to do in the future. Ever since I've started this job, I have this dream to challenge a lot of things in the future too. So I would like you to listen to "Bravo☆Bravo" and hopefully we'll catch our dreams together. Our concert is going to be super hot, so I would like everyone to come along!
Airi: Your turn, LEADER.
Miya: Your job to close the interview.
Momo: Hey, stop giving me so much pressure...... "Bravo☆Bravo" will be released 16th of December and soon after we'll be hitting year 2010. I believe everyone will have new aims or goals starting next year, so I hope everyone would listen to the song and hopefully give you happy energy! If there are people around you that needs some cheering, sing the "Bravo☆Bravo" song to them for farewell....
Miya: lol. Farewell.....
Momo: I think it's a song that needs to be sung at new year party and farewell party~!
Airi: lol Farewell Party.....
Momo: I would like everyone to end the year with Buono! and Start off with Buono!.

- lol. This will really be the last question. What are your aims for next year?
Momo: We've been saying we want to have a concert abroad but..... anything else?
Airi: Do a promotional video..... at Italy!
Momo: Buono! means "Delicious" in Italian! Well then, that's our aim for next year! And eat lots of delicious food at Italy!
Airi: Spaghetti~!
Momo: lol. Oh, can I say one more thing? I'll close the interview properly!! "Thank you very much for your support this whole year. Please keep in touch next year too"..... wasn't that awesome!?
Miya: lol.
Airi: Keep in touch.
Miya: Keep in touch.
- lol. Thank you very much for today!

NOTE: 'tsun-dere' means someone who acts so tough most of the time, but sometimes shows a weakness (cute-side).

Wheeew.... that was long... -_-"
Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed reading!

Banana Translation: ºC-ute 'Kindai' Magazine

0 comments Posted by pece at 6:12 AM

These are the latest ºC-ute's magazine appearance =D (Nov 2009)




Yajima Maimi, Umeda Erika, Suzuki Airi,
Nakajima Saki, Okai Chisato, Hagiwara Mai

---
Their newest single would be their 10th single, and it'll be the last single within these current members.

Airi: While having our recordings, my impression to this song is that it's a very forward-looking, refreshing ºC-ute song.
Nakky: Usually, we sing by the impression of the lyrics and the rhythm, and changing a bit on how we sing for expressions, but this time, I just sang without thinking any of that. Having in mind that this will be the last time singing with Erika, for some reason, the lyrics seems as if it's a message song for us from Erika.
Ume-san: The part where we sing, "Even when we get lost, and even days that you forget something", we gather up and stand in a line and grab each others' shoulders, and I can just feel this warm, happy feeling inside me to the fact that I got to be part of them.

Exactly. The highlight of this PV is there. When you guys first started out, you guys had this awkward hight difference, but now, it got so smooth. For some reason, looking at that smooth lineups, it just kills me.

Maimai: Right now, I'm really feeling and thinking about those words in this song. On our last concert live, I think I will be able to sing each every single song by thinking about the lyrics and expressing them. I'm definitely going to cry when we sing this song!

When they first met up as a group, you guys sung all these love songs and had to act mature to fit in with the song, and it looked very cute, but by listening to the coupling song, "Amai Wana", you guys really have it.

Chissa: Most of the ºC-ute's singles are love songs, and it was fun to imagine those situations and express it, but at the same time it was hard to understand the real meanings to something that we haven't experienced yet. But because we've been training our minds, for "Amai Wana", I just thought, "okay, this main character must be a mature lady" and sung respectively.

Being one of a grown lady, and as an adult, and being able to understand the feelings of a character. You guys really grown up *sob*

Maimi: ºC-ute has really grown into a group where we're able to sing all sorts of songs types. "Amai Wana" is so ROCK, and so mature, and something we've never had before, but from the first time I've heard this song, it just clicked. I hope we could keep growing like the character in the song grows up.

From the member whose about to jump into her new dreams from the 25th of October, Final Tour, Umeda Erika, we would like to hear some words from you.

Ume-san: Ever since I've dreamed to be a singer from Grade 3, I went to singing schools, and here I am now, and I know I wouldn't be here right now doing these things without you guys out there and I really appreciate it. Thank you. Even from now on, I will not forget how grateful I am, and I will try my best in my future. Thank you very much.

Hagiwara Mai

- Looking back 4 years ago and comparing it to now...
I think everyone has changed. Everyone sees themselves as a pro, and comparing our live videos, it's so different. Back then, everything was too much, but now, I think we are more relaxed on everything we do. (We look more mature too, don't we?) There are a lot of people who says that too. lol Because I thought I was not going to grow much in height. So I drunk 2 glasses of milk everyday. And so..... I'm so glad I passed Nacchan (Nakajima)! lol

- What are the highlights of the new song, "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!"?
It makes you really happy, and the dances look very cool, such a nice song. I feel the same way where we sing, "We just have to work a little bit harder than that guy". I hope everyone has some lines where they can feel the same way.

- Any words to Umeda Erika who will be graduating soon?
Erika-chan, you are like my sister, and so there are a lot of things I've learned from you. Fashion of course, and because you've lived longer than me and has more experience in life. lol There are still a lot of things that I want to learn from you, Erika-chan, but I know you have a dream to become a model, so I want to support you. And don't forget about ºC-ute okay? And sometimes please teach me more about fashion.

---
Okai Chisato

- Looking back 4 years ago and comparing it to now...
To be very honest, when I was younger, I didn't really care about how I looked. I didn't care about my hairstyles. lol In the morning, I could have gone to school without doing my hair, but now, I iron my hair every morning. So I think I have changed in that way. (I'm more girly now?) Maybe? Sometimes, I feel like, "I don't care anymore!" but yea.. lol
Oh yea, and back then I was always so full on learning all the time, but now, I have time to think in my mind in terms of how we sing, facial expressions and dances.

- What are the highlights of the new song, "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!"?
This new song, we have a lot of unisons, like we dance the same move, sing the same line. I would like everyone to listen carefully to the unisons, and want them to see our cool ºC-ute dance moves.

- Any words to Umeda Erika who will be graduating soon?
Erika-chan, you are such an important in my life along with my family. So seeing you off is so sad, and it's such a big change, but I would like to do my best as a 5 member ºC-ute, and want you to keep being proud of us. I hope we all could power up, and somehow work together again in the future.


---
Suzuki Airi

- Looking back 4 years ago and comparing it to now...
I think my voice gone deeper. I used to have such a thin voice, and i used to hate it, and wanted to have a stronger, deeper voice. So I thought about all sorts of ways to change it. And I think I have been successful... The way I act towards singing has changed too. Like, I's been recommended to listen to English songs, so I've been listening to it.
Oh, and my looks has changed too. I went from primary school to middle school, so it's normal. But my height isn't that much different. lol

- What are the highlights of the new song, "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!"?
On the First Limited Edition DVD, there are clips of us making 'Tako-yaki', and 'Okonomi-yaki'. I think we've showed how we are as ºC-ute on that scene well, so I would like everyone to watch it too.

- Any words to Umeda Erika who will be graduating soon?
Erika-chan, I have spent most of the time with you as a ºC-ute member, and even in the HelloProKids member, so we know so much about each other, and we got to talk about a lot of things together. You are older than me, but you are so fun and kind. When you say, "that clothes that you are wearing now is cute", I can wear those clothes with pride. Let's make a lot of fun memories together until your graduation. Oh, and don't forget that you were supposed to take me to Yokohama, okay?

---
Nakajima Saki

- Looking back 4 years ago and comparing it to now...
I used to be one of those people who need to get to know about a person before I can open up, and didn't talk much. On the day of our Kids Audition, I was just sitting all by my self in the waiting room. And so, Mai-chan? or was it Chisato? came and sat next to me for comfort, but I dragged my seat away. So they came closer, and I stayed away, and back and forth. lol But now, everyone says I have changed, and that I am so open and talks a lot.
Oh, and I was not good at facial expressions. All the PVs I had, I put on a smile. But now, I can change my expressions according to what the song is like.

- What are the highlights of the new song, "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!"?
For this new song's PV, we danced on the building top using cranes and everything. And even I think it's soo cool. PV is a must-watch.

- Any words to Umeda Erika who will be graduating soon?
Erika-chan, you were like my ideal sister. You knew your fashion, your dance moves and your poses when taking photos. But between us, you made us laugh a lot. Even if you become a model, please stay as you are now.

---
Yajima Maimi

- Looking back 4 years ago and comparing it to now...
I used to be really slim, and everyone used to say, "are you eating okay?". I used to really hate my eating time. If I had time to eat, I wanted to play more. But now, I love my eating time, and I'm getting more fit. lol When I was in ZYX, they told us to make a "cool" facial expression, but I didn't know how. Back then, I thought "Cool-expression" meant "Serious-look"... lol

- What are the highlights of the new song, "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!"?
Our new song is such a happy, refreshing song. Our PV really fits well. I would like everyone to watch it.

- Any words to Umeda Erika who will be graduating soon?
When I first heard about Erika graduating, I emailed her because I was so worried. And so, Eri replied, "If our members said something really stubborn, you can just say what you need to say firmly. It's not going to tear us apart" and I thought, she really understands us.
Even when you graduate, Eri, ºC-ute will continue do our best, and I knew you wanted to be a model for a long time, so I want to support you. When your magazines are out someday, I will definitely buy them, so please do your best.

---
Umeda Erika

- Looking back 4 years ago and comparing it to now...
Back then, I was never calm. Even now, I'm still like that, but back then, it was non-stoppable. During concert MCs, I used to laugh out loud, and talked a lot. lol It was almost like I was like the only one there. lol But after 4 years, I can read the atmosphere, and tell when I'm about to talk, and when I'm about to nod.

- What are the highlights of the new song, "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!"?
The highlights are the lyrics. Maybe because it fits me perfectly right now, but the lyrics tells you to challenge yourself and keep looking-forward. From this song, I thought even if I graduate, I'd do my best, and gave me strength and power. So I would like everyone to listen to "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou", and feel the same way too.

- Any words to Umeda Erika who will be graduating soon?
To Maimi: We were the same age, and so we got to know each other a lot. When I graduate, you'll have to do all the leading now, but if you need help, I will be willing to help you anytime.

To Nakky: You, Nakky, sometimes can be weak, but tries to act strong. But I know you are so reliable and strong, so I am not so worried. You have the power to pull everyone together, so I hope you will be able to support Maimi. I have faith in you.

To Airi: You have such a love-able personality, so I want you to stay as you are. Don't let anybody boss you around, and please don't loose yourself and stay strong.

To Chisato: Chisato really cares about members - like when somebody's sick, she goes straight to our staffs and asks for medicine and stuff. And on the other hand, she is a mood-maker and makes everyone laugh. Please stay the same and do your best.

To Mai-chan: Mai-chan can be so spoiled like what the young ones are meant to be, but there is something inside her telling to grow up so quickly. If you are worrying about something, don't forget that you can rely on other members of the group. They are like your sisters.

To the Fans: All the support I had from you has really helped me a lot. I believe that I'm able to stand here because of you guys. I will not forget that you are always there, and I will do my best for my coming future. Thank you very much.

Ume-sa~~~n! T-T I'm gonna totally miss her!

0 comments Posted by pece at 9:19 AM

Sorry about the delay... -_-"



- "If Stories". One day in summer, the 4 members of the Guardians 4 were planning to go somewhere privately. Where would you go?
All: I wanna go to the summer festival~~!
Saki: But... does those festivals open in the morning?
Yurina: Well then, we could go shopping in the morning?
Mitsui: We'll go shopping, and take sticker photos. And then, we'll go to the festival in the afternoon.
Risako: OK.

- Well then, what time are you guys gonna meet up?
Saki: 10am.
Risako: 10am.... okay?
Mitsui: Is it too early?
Yurina: 10:30?
Risako: I want it to be 10:30. lol
Mitsui: 10:30 it is then.

- And go shopping....
Mitsui: What about the Safari Park?
Risako: Oh yea, that's good.
Mitsui: I went there the other day. And I got to feed the lion some meat...
Others: Really!? That's cool~.
Mitsui: That was so much fun.
Saki: Well then, Safari Park sounds good.

- Huh? Are you changing your plans?
All: Yup! Lol

- Well then. You guys got to meet all the animals at the Safari Park. And you realise, that it's lunch time. What would you eat?
Saki: Noodles.
Mitsui: Hotdog.
Yurina: I want pizza.
Saki: Well then, let's go to the restaurant.

- What if you couldn't find one?
Mitsui: That's gonna be hard. lol
Yurina: But we'll be eating a lot at the festival.
Risako: All those foods at the festival are kinda like Western food, so it'll be better if we had Japanese food.
Mitsui: Japanese food it is.

- And the festival begun. Where to now?
Mitsui: Strawberry Lolly!
Saki: Apricot Lolly!
Risako: Butter Potato!
Yurina: I want Butter Potato too!
Saki: I want Baby Sponge Cake!
Yurina: Sponge Cake sounds good!
Risako: There's such thing?
Mitsui: Yea, there is. It's so yum!
Yurina: What about corn?
Mitsui: Corn sounds good too!
Risako: And, Apple Lolly.
Mitsui: No~, Strawberry Lollies are better. Or Grape Lolly.
Risako: Oh, Grape Lolly sounds good.

- You guys eat too much. Lol. Let's limit to 3.
Mitsui: Isn't Yakisoba (fried noodle) good too?
Saki: What about Okonomiyaki (fried vegetable pancake)?
Risako: Okonomiyaki sounds nice.
Mitsui: No~, that's too much.
Yurina: Would this be our dinner?
Mitsui: It's in the afternoon, so it'll be our snack.
Risako: I want Chocolate Banana.
Saki: I agree to the Chocolate Banana.
Yurina: Hmmm... Okay then. I'll leave it to you guys.
Saki: Kumai-chan, you can pick one too.
Yurina: Butter Potato.
Risako: Butter Potato's the best.
Mitsui: What about our last one?
Risako: Corn.
Yurina: Corn's nice.
Saki: Hmm... OK.
Mitsui: We've decided then. lol



- Are you just gonna eat at the festival and that's it?
Saki: We'll do Kingyo-Sukui (catching gold fish).
Mitsui: Shooting game!
Saki: Shooting game's cool~!
Mitsui: I've done a Chick shooting game before.
Others: Whaat!?
Mitsui: Oh, it's not the actual chick we're supposed to shoot, its just a piece of paper that says "chick" on it. lol

- What about your dinner?
Risako: ♪Okonomiyaki~♡ or Monjyayaki.
Mitsui: Then, we could just go to the Hot Plate Restaurant.
Risako: That sounds good.
Yurina: And after that, we don't wanna smell like their food, so we get changed into our Yukata, and do some fireworks.
All: Yea!!!

- At the beginning, I've said "If Stories", but do you think you guys can make this a dream come true?
All: ...... (silence)

- Lol. You guys don't have to think that seriously. Well then, if you guys actually already have any plans during this summer, please tell me.
Saki: But, wouldn't it be nice if we really did what we said just then?
Others: yea~.
Mitsui: I wanna go to the summer festival at least. Don't you guys wanna wear Yukatas? I haven't worn one in a while.
Risako: Me too. I haven't worn one in years.
Yurina: Me too.
Saki: Me too. I've always wanted to go to the summer festivals with my Yukata on.

- Well then, I hope this wish comes true.
All: Yup!

- Speaking of fun stuff, on the 2nd of September, your new single, "School Days" will be released. Please tell me about it.
Risako: This song is really cute, and I really like the melody. The lyrics are something that you can feel the same way, so please do pay a little attention to it.
Saki: I really like the lyrics of this song. It's really deep, and every line makes you think a lot.
Yurina: It's theme was for the school, and so summery, but what I really like about it, is where we sing "A happiness that's normal, but not so normal". It really tells us that our normal daily life is something that we should really feel grateful about.
Mitsui: If our debut single, "Omakase Guardian" was a kid song, then this time is like a 'middle school, high school' song. I would like to suggest this song to someone around our age.

----------


I still don't get what in the world that interviewer wanted out of this interview from them.... -_-" 
but it sure is making me really hungry =P haha

Banana Translation: Buono! 'Kindai' Magazine

0 comments Posted by pece at 12:30 AM

Here are the translations to the Buono!'s latest magazine interview (Kindai) =D
Enjoy X) (Click on the image to enlarge)



Miya: Our new song is a song that makes you feel the refreshing summer. It makes you feel relaxed by just listening to it, so listen to this on a very hot day, and hope it helps you get relaxed.
Airi: It's not our usual "head banging and makes you really sweaty song", but it would be nice to let people know that there is these kinds of ROCK songs too.
Miya: But in the lyrics, there's this line, "even if you make a mistake, it's kinda okay♪". I think it shows our character as Buono! where we think so positively.
Momo: This song really makes you happy, so I hope it makes everyone think "It doesn't help to just worry about things. I'll do my best tomorrow!" by listening to this song.
Airi: As from the title, "Take it Easy", I hope everyone can just loosen their shoulders a little bit and relax.

- Well, Leader, can you give a message to the readers?
Miya & Airi: Go leader! Lol
Momo: The debut of Buono! was 31st of October, and it's almost 3 years since then. We are so grateful of our fans, and I hope we could continue showing how grateful we are. And please listen to our new song, "Take it Easy" and be happy with us Buono!!!
.... Is this okay? Lol



- We were there when you guys were taking your PVs for your new single "Take it Easy" but, what was the most memorable thing that you did?
Miya: The most memorable thing for me, was the BBQ at the beach. Usually, you don't really get the opportunity to have BBQ at the beach, you know. And I was so happy to have it with the Buono! members. There were a lot of ingredients to have on our stick too.

- What did you have on your BBQ stick?
Miya: I don't like capsicum, so I tried to avoid capsicum (lol) and instead, I had 2 of my favourite corns, meat and sausage -which I love.
Airi: I love capsicum, but I couldn't find any, so I've but paprika instead although I don't really like them lol. Meat is a must, and I had sausages.
Momo: I had the least popular ingredients like onion and pumpkin lol. And during our BBQ I had fun playing tricks on everyone. Like putting Miya's least favourite food, capsicum all around her plate, and put heaps of salt and pepper on Airi's one lol. I tried to trick Miya into falling in to the hole I made, but I failed, so that's been bugging me a bit.
Miya: That's because it was so obvious! She put a lot of seaweed around the hole lol.
Momo: And I accidentally left my shovel there lol.
Miya: So obvious lol.
Airi: Momo actually fell in the hole which our staff made lol. I was watching her fall lol. And so she wanted to trick somebody as well.
Momo: When I fell for that trap, Miya was taking her pictures, so I thought "It's got to be her!"
Airi: When Miya finished taking her photos, Momo was like "Miya~" and grabbed her hand - which she usually doesn't do lol.
Miya: She was taking me to this obviously suspicious place, so I just jumped over it lol.

- Is there any other memorable moments?
Airi: We had our photos taken in the bus, and they've told us that we could just talk about anything since, it won't be taped. And so we talked about random stuff. But it was so much fun.
Momo: For me, all that going up the stairs were memorable. I had muscle pains the very next day.
Miya: Yea, you're right those stairs!
Momo: While we were climbing, I thought "these two are so young".

- They are only 1 or 2 years older than you.
Miya & Airi: She was so slow! lol
Momo: Yea well, my but couldn't keep up. lol Oh, and the sunset at the beach was memorable too.

- PV will be released at 2nd of September, so do look forward to it. Anyway their new song "Take it Easy" is a very relaxing song which is not so Buono! but so Buono! in a way.

(Buono! trying to pick whose gonna tell them off haha)

Miya: Um... The song that you were just singing.....
Yurina: Aaah. It's our debut song which will be released in December, 'CafeBello'. Isn't it such a great song? Yoroshiku ne ☆
Buono!: CafeBello!?!?

Airi: That means... your group name would be....?
Ume-san: Us? We are 'Bello'. Do you have any problem with that?

Bello!: hahahahahaha

Momo: I won't let that happen! YOU GUYS, IT SEEMS LIKE WE NEED TO HAVE A BATTLE!
Yurina: What? What battle?
Momo: We'll do 5 different kinds of games, and whoever wins 3 times, then they win. Whoever loses...... has to retire! Well!?

Ume-san: We are fine with that, but we already know whose gonna win.
Momo: =P We won't lose, right you guys!?
Miya & Airi: ........ I'm not so confident about this...

Momo: Hey, you guys, if we have our team work, we'll definitely win! 
Miya: But, we are already loosing by our height difference..
Momo: That's nothing. I have so many plans!
Airi: Momo's plans!? Oh no....
Momo: We'll do fine! Have faith in your Leader!! 
Miya & Airi: .........

Banana Translation: MM 'G The Television vol.15'

0 comments Posted by pece at 5:29 AM

I've translated this vid for you guys~! =D
(This came out like 3 weeks ago..)
Enjoy X)



Takahashi Niigaki Tanaka Michishige
Kamei Kusumi Mitsui Junjun Linlin

Translations:

Koha: Ganbare Ganbare! (there's no such word in English, but it's like "you can do it")

Gaki: Today's very warm everyone. It's a miracle, because yesterday and the day before was raining very heavily, and today's the day we have our photoshoot. It was so cold. If we were to wear this outfit in those days, we were about to die from coldness, but when I woke up this morning, it was surprisingly 26 degrees! It's gotta be my day cuz I'm a 'hare-onna' (girl that brings sunshine). =D

Sayu: Kyapo! XD The answer is, the cute cute Michishige Sayumi~~~~! Yup, well, they told me I can talk about anything. And I said, "yea I'll do fine!" but I'm actually already out of things to say.. And that's me, Michishige Sayumi! =D hahaha
I wonder what kind of leaf is this? Oh I believe this is... Kappa desu! (a japanese myth creature that lives in pond) Oh I'm so good today! Aren't I funny, right? right? Yea, I am funny X) hahaha

Ai-chan: Morning Musume has been working with this same 9 members for about 2.... 2 years? right? =) Yup, we've always been delighted to do our photoshoots. We've only taken our individual ones, so, we're going to gather up later. I'm looking forward to it.

Kame: Good morning~! Kamei Eri de~su. Today, we are taking photos outside, we haven't had it outside for a while.
Right now, I'm into braiding my hair, and this hairstyle is my favourite at the moment. Here, take a look. Just a glance okay, a glance. hahahahahaha It's made for the photo... photoshoot, so it's not made too tight. I like it =D
You know how there's bugs outside? I don't like bugs, so I'm a bit nervous but.... I'll do my best X)

Gaki: Today's nail. This nail is a chip. My nailist-san actually came to my home to give this to me. At night. It was really touching, and it's actually a very long story. So, I can't tell you the whole story now, but she is soo nice. I told her that I won't be able to go there because it's in the morning and I won't have the time. And at night-time, she called and said, "I'm right in front of your house. Can you come out?" And I was like "Eeeeee~!! Thank you~~!! Waaa~~!!" *cry* And she gave it to me. It's so perfect for our new song's outfit. Thank you! I wanna say again, thank you! Bye!

Junjun: Thank you~!
Reina: Thank you!

Kame: Yea, ur right. I'll pick this one.
Gaki: Which one do you think I should pick?
Kame: I got an approval from Gaki-san =D
Gaki: Should I pick this one?

Reina: This three is my team. Team!
Mitsui: Team!
Reina: Reina like this three.
Mitsui: Yay! I'm so happy!

Junjun: Cute earrings. Junjun doesn't have one.
Ai-chan: Why don't you?

I love rock.
Kame: Oh~ is that so.
Linlin: This is the L for Linlin.
Kame: haha You're wrong! Somebody already does that as their thing! You act like you've just made it, but it's taken! haha
Linlin: Why did they take my thing! haha
... so how about this pose? this one? this one?
Kame: It looks like power rangers haha

Reina: I'm cheking my photos. You wanna look too? I'm supposed to divide into the ones I like and the ones I don't. I took heaps.

Kame: I need to do my best to act sexy. Oh well, I'm already good at it...
Gaki: Oh? You don't look that confident there. Are you okay? You are not used to sexy poses yet?
Kame: I AM used to it already.
Gaki: Oh yea, ur the sexy one.
Kame: It's like this right? *poses* hahaha Don't! hahaha

Gaki: This time, it's changed completely from the clean look we had last photoshoot.
Kame: Yea, you're right.
Gaki: It's more "attacking look"
Kame: The make up is a bit more darker
Gaki: We've already had our photoshoot. We are in the same group this time.
Kame: Yea, it's 'GakiKame'
Gaki: Yea, 'GakiKame' and Linlin too. 'GakiKameLin'
They've told us to make it look 'sexy' but I'm not used to it yet, so I was a bit nervous.
Kame: Oh yea? Well, for me, I'm so used to it, so. I was just waiting to see what the other two can show me. It was not quite there yet. haha My intonation was a bit weird there! haha
Gaki: She's talking like this, but she was the most shy one out of us three. Now we have to gather again for our photoshoot. The 9 of us.
Kame: 9 of us.
GakiKame: Bye~! *disappears*

Ai-chan: To everyone whose watching 'Gravure The Television'..
All: Morning Musume de~su!
Ai-chan: Our 40th new single will be released at August!

Banana Translation: Airi's Memories of MM

0 comments Posted by pece at 4:21 AM



This was one of the clip from Hello 10th Party.
Here, Airi was given 90 seconds to talk, and she chose the topic: "Free Episode".

Translation:
Airi: This story that I will be telling is a story before I got into Hello Project Kids.
I really love Morning Musume since when I was younger, and I went to their first musical, "Love Century ~ Yume wo Minakerya Hajimaranai~" and amazingly I was sitting in the middle of the very first row!
Everyone: Wooooow~~!!
Airi: I was soo Happy, and that time I loved to dance, and you know how there's this section for live concert during musical?, I believe they (Morning Musume) were singing "Renai Revolution"
Rika: Yea we did =D
Airi: I was actually dancing with them in front of my seat, like right there X) *points at the front seat*
Crowd: Wooo~
Airi: And so, Yaguchi-san, Ishikawa-san and Yoshizawa-san bent down and waved at me~! *demonstrates*
Crowd: Wooo~
Airi: I was sooooooo Happy! XD but um... do you remember? (to Rika and Yosshi)
Rika: Eeee~~!!!
Yosshi: Aaaa yea! I remember! There was this little girl dancing like this! *jumps*
Everyone: EEEEEEE~~~~!?!? No way! Do you really remember??
Aika: Nah, you don't seem to remember by the way you've said it!
Airi: When I went to the second musical, "Morning Town", Tooru-san was there too saying "Ginko~man~"
Tooru: Yea!
Airi: I really remember that too. I feel very delighted being able to dance and sing on the very same stage with Morning Musume-san and Tooru-san which I (used to) admire right now. (^-^*//
Everyone: Woo~! Wonderful! Splendid!
Tooru: Suzuki Airi-san is the winner!
Crowd: *Laughs*
Yosshi: There's no such thing!
Tooru: Huh!? oh, there's no prizes?
Everyone: "Laughs"
----

Interesting, isn't it? =D
I've only translated Airi's part, but if you want me to translate the rest, please let me know X)
