this is the long awaited translation entry .. and i'm sorry to keep everyone waiting..(´Д｀υ)
anyway, i hope you guys enjoy reading the story, this was in a way funny .. i envy Nao for having such control with his emotion
it's good that he can always see the brighter side of life and laugh off the bad experience.. i wish he could teach me how.. hehe..(＾∀・)=☆
in a way, this translation is an achievement for me too, coz i haven't touch any japanese material since i finished my diploma a bit more than half a year ago..
and yes, it's kinda rusty.. so i apologize for that.. anyway, some of the words Nao wrote really doesn't make sense, so i kinda took the liberty to change around the translation just a little.. to make more sense of it..
well, lastly, i really hope you guys enjoy this.. and mm may i add doing translations sure makes one hungry..
i want shabu shabu/ sukiyaki/ onabe.. and damn it's so hot out here!

the autumn leaves have completely turned red.
i wonder if we can see those pretty crimson leaves a little bit longer?
the thing with autumn is that the scenery feels romantic with the touch of sephia colour, don't you think so?
ah, it's me.
it's me who rumour has it, hates autumn.
yeay♪ yay♪ yay♪ in my case, when it gets cold, the disease that makes my skin dry will come back.
to shorten it, i have [dry skin] disease which i really do not look forward to.
anyway, this edition of Memory Talk will be about [Magnum from Hell].

it's me. it's me who recently stop taking bufferin plus when im having headache.
everyone, do you know a sport called sepak takraw?
it's a kind of sport where a beach volley type of net is used and you have to kick the ball over the net to the opponent side (i don't know that much about it either)
but recently, i was given the official ball by a staff of a certain radio. it's so rare!!
i'm also extremely happy about it!! imagine, among the visual kei bandmembers, i would be the only one who has this ball!
and so i think i should be proud of it!

everyone, jagiiin!... hi, this is Nao.
Recently, i just joined soccer club, it's been a long time since i've shed the sweat of youth!
even when it's blank, think about the health (??).. with that feeling, this episode's talk is about soccer!
let me tell you a story about what happened on my first regular match, when i was on the first year of my high school (year 10).
clearly speaking, it wasn't a pleasant match. during the match, while i dribbled and entered the mark, the defense of the opponent team surrounded me.
the guy (defense team guy) who stuck his body to my back, was blowing to my ear "haa.. fuuuh..haa~fuuuh.."
even though it was an extraordinary unpleasant attack, i thought it was normal to be running out of breath during the match, and thus i decided to stay focus on the ball..
however, his breath was getting severely unsteady, and it sounded like "daaa.. daa.. dafuuuh.."
i realised, then, that he was doing it on purpose to harass me.. he was really pissing me off!
the next thing i know, i tackled him and pinned him down, and everything went silent for a while until the judgement whistle broke it off, and when i looked up, i saw a yellow card in the referee's right hand!! first match and a yellow card!
hence, the opponent's cheer team burst into cheer! what a spirit, but the seniors were encouraging.
they were saying stuff like "Naoran, nice tackle!", which i answered with a smile and thumb's up while running back to my original position.
but i understand it wasnt really to comfort me (??)
anyway, so even though it was a harsh experience, that day's match ended up in our victory, and so were the 2nd and third match.
frankly speaking, it was a miracle!! well, i think we were just lucky..
huh, you want to hear the result of the last match? a~h, well then there's no other way...
we actually lost 8 - 1
well it's not a baseball game.. so..
anyway with that i shall end this issue here, this is Nao!!
ps. sorry for the long long wait.. >_< ;; |

Everyone, papiiiiin!... this is Nao. Our tour will start soon, ne~ people all over the country, please wait for us!
Anyway, recently, there are some films that sound interesting and also TRENDY dramas appearing, they reminded me of something and made me laugh. It was when I was in year 11 (second year high school), for some reason watching "Bebop High School" video and miming the characters which appeared there were so popular at that time, whoever did it the best would be (kinda) famous in the school. Of course! I was the top rank (elite) mime with no enemy whatsoever. But, the Bebop popularity lasted only for a week...
Three months passed, and the Bebop has gone off topic. ANYWAY!! The school was entering summer holiday, my friends and I, the three of us went to play at 2 in the morning, one of my friend began saying "Come to think of it, Bebop was quite famous a while ago, right?” Me and another friend could only say "Aah~ yeah..."
Suddenly I thought of something. "Why don't the 3 of us do our own Bebop? We could use the handy cam," I said, the two of them were like "That's impossible, there are only 3 of us! … But let's do it anyway! Bwahahah (laughing)", and so the three of us made a 15 minutes long film. The characters were divided as follows; my two friends played the main characters, while I played the antagonist. Sometimes we had fighting scenes, but everything was done in full laughter. We also showed the film to some friends who went to other schools, and it became popular! Actually, I also want to show it to you who are reading this, but it's impossible! I can’t even find it anywhere, anymore.
And…because Isshi is also a fan of Bebop, sometimes the two of us would talk about it and laugh together. Anyway, this article has become a very long one... I’m sorry! so let's meet on the next issue! This is Nao, the summer guy!!" |

Everyone, SHAKIiiN ... hello, Nao here. My junior school memory has just come back to me. I think everyone might also have a nickname back then. In my case however, I've always been known as 'Naoran' since kindergarten. Anyway leaving that story behind, on one summer when I was in second year junior school (year 8), I was called by a different nickname for about a week. My nick was changed from "Naoran" to "magician" ... why is that? Well, here's the story of how the new nickname was born.
It was an extremely hot day even though it was stormy outside. After finishing our classes for the day, me and another 3 friends was on the way home in the middle of the storm, when suddenly one of my friends said, "Why don't we go to the beach?” Obviously, no one is actually going to say "OK! Let’s have fun and enjoy" in the middle of a storm like this... or so I thought... but I was shocked! Why? Because except for me, the rest of the guys actually agreed to go! I was really shocked! Of course, I was not thinking to go along. I was thinking maybe I should just say something like "oh I’m not coming, so you guys just have fun". But as I was about to leave them, one of my friends went "it’s not going to be fun if Naoran's not coming."
Going to the sea in the middle of the storm? Obviously I didn't want to, coz it's stupid, isn’t it?! And anyway we're going to get really wet! At least that’s how a person normally thinks. But as for me… I ended up going… anyway, the four of us arrived on the raging sea… and we were shouting. Since we longed for something more thrilling, we climbed the terracotta. There were heaps of holes on the terracotta, and so if one doesn’t walk carefully, he’s sure to fall down 2 meters deep and he’s going to be 100% injured. However, the four of us were yelling some meaningless things while running around without caution. Finally, one of us had enough, so he said, “Let’s go home”, and everyone put their hands up in agreement. But suddenly “pop..!” someone disappeared just like that. It seems that he has fallen down the hole, and apparently, that person was… ME! But I was miraculously uninjured, and all my friends said to me while laughing really hard, “Naoran, you were so kewl!! You were like magician or something!” Afterwards, I didn’t really feel the pain and I joined them in big laugh. The next day, at school my friends asked me “Naoran, you used magic yesterday, didn't you? (laugh)” And so I replied in good nature “yeah obviously~! Should I make you vanish as well? (angry)” while laughing.
Thinking of the nickname brings back a lot of memories. Now I feel like going back home to visit my friends. Whoa~ I apologize for engaging everyone in a long old story! OK then, this is Nao!! |

Everyone, SHUPIIIN and hello, this is Nao. Recently, Isshi and I went around to Fukuoka, Hamamatsu, Osaka, Nagoya for promotion. I was really excited to see the everyone in provinces after a long time! Thank you! Moreover, there were heaps of Gurakko chan* who came to see us and, I’ve practice playing acoustic guitar desperately so I felt that we just have to play the acoustic live!! But then, I don’t think I played well, but then again, I’ve practiced really hard for that, so please forgive me… overall, it was a very memorable promotion campaign.
5 hours before the promo in Osaka started, me and Isshi went to a café. Isshi had some ice coffee, and since my stomach was empty, I ordered some Omurice** along with oranges juice. After finishing my Omurice, I was going to smoke. When I reached out for the cigarette, my hand knocked the glass down and the oranges juice was spilled all over my legs. By then, the other customers’ eyes were fixed on me, and Isshi was laughing real hard… meanwhile, without wiping the spilled icy cold juice from my clothes, I just stared blankly at Isshi’s laughing face and started smoking. At first I was thinking to go just like that, but then I changed my mind and covered the spot quickly with my jersey. While walking around the shop, I found a HIPHOP style clothing store, so I quickly went there and purchase a HIPHOP style pants. To be frank, I was looking more like a B-BOY instead of visual kei member. My pure and simple self has turned into a kind of “check it out” guy. But come to think of it, during the promo talk, I used the word quite often.
Ah, I’d also like to thank everyone who came to see Kagrra! Ok then, this is Nao, check it out!!
~~~
onto the *'s!
* Gurakko chan i think this means Kagrra fan girls.
** Omurice is a name of food. it's actually a fried rice wrapped in a big, thin layer of fried egg and topped with either tomato sauce or demi glace sauce.. very delicious~!! xDD |

everyone, osh! it's nao! the august tour is already decided, so people in the provinces, juz wait for us!!!
it has been a long time since i called my bass teacher which is my older brother last time, so i called him just recetly and we talked a lot.
This time when i asked my brother why did he teach me bass?, he went "why you suddenly...?", my brother were probably thinking something like are you stupid, he didnt finished his words... but for me, if my brother had not taught me bass, unmistakeably, i wouldn't be here, in this place now. and then, i think the invitation phone call to make a band from izumi wouldn't came as well.
i thought he was gonna say, "therefore, i wanted to hear an answer with thanks and big praise!", (note: i'm not so sure about this part's translation... might be wrong....) but instead he said, "hmm, simply, because i think you will remember it quickly... so i taught you with a bit of force... spartan style*1." i see..., when i was young, i played bass while getting mad at, i tried my best to play and remember (the music) in front of my brother while tears are running down from my eyes and nose.
then, when i was in primary school, i used to think that he's an "evil"... well, it was worthed that i did my best, because i've become like this(note: again im not sure if this is correct.. sorry), but still, even now my brother's existance is big*2 i thank him from the heart for teaching me to play bass! and then, i think it's a good thing that i'm playing music and playing bass. wonderfull meetings (with people), and extremely exciting live performances*3 ~ THE BEST! i've taken the power for too long, i'd like to humbly apologize for that, until here! this is Nao!
*******
onto the *'s
1. spartan = spartan style education... meaning a very very harsh way was used.
2. i think nao meant that his brother's influence is still big on him.. that his brother means a lot to him.
3. he actually said "live performance that the excitement can be feel in the body" |
