This is one of my favorite songs arashi has ever sung, and I definitely wasn't expecting it to be this difficult to translate orz I did my best with it, but I changed the translation so many times to try to convey the meaning in English/Italian that I'm not sure what's what any more lol

Hello friends 👋

Since I'm not taking friends requests apart from people I already know from twitter for now, I decided to move my subs from my journal to a new community I created today: @mienai_ashita on lj.

I still haven't decided if I'll use this journal for translations anymore, but I will keep all translations previously posted here for now. If I decide to move them to the community, they will be friend locked. I honestly haven't decided yet though, so I can't tell you what will happen to them. I might keep posting lyrics translations here though.

Anyway, please join the community to follow any new projects that might come out!

Current Music: また今日と同じ明日が来る

Hello! After the whirlwind of the past two days, I'm posting the lyrics and translations of the song that Arashi performed for the new Emperor on 09/11/2019. It's a very peaceful song, and I really like it a lot. It reminds me of Furusato for some reason.

The kanji come directly from the booklet that was given during the ceremony.

I hope you enjoy this song!

Sakuraiba should stop (read: continue) doing interviews because I HAVE NO TIME to translate this stuff, yet they compel me to because, I mean, it's sakuraiba. Throwback to 2016, when they had a shoot with fireworks too!

(The pic will be added later)

My internet doesn't want to work properly for some reason, so I don't even know if this will be posted (currently on my third try, RIP me), but I wanted to post this translation of Arashi's announcement at the beginning of this week's VS Arashi. They talked about the show going forward following the announcement of their hiatus. There's a sentence Jun said at the end which is very convoluted, so I hope that I was able to convey the meaning properly. I'll post the translation for the IntroTalk between today and tomorrow.

Also, I wanted to announce that I'm translating the full previous VS Arashi episode (2019.01.24 - aka Sho's b-day with Ueda vs Wild Boar Year Team), so please look forward to that!

※ Translation is mine, so please feel free to point out any mistakes etc. ※

(Sho's voice) How you feeling peopleeeeeeeee!? Yesterday was/today is (depending on your timezone) Sho's b-day!!!! My baby is 37 ;___; I have this one rule where I wouldn't want to date anyone 5 years older than me ideally, and older than 10 years is definitely a no-no for me. But Sho-chan, 11 years my senior, would be my only exception ♥ He's the cutest 37 years old on this planet, I just love him and his cute laugh so much D:

I LOVED this episode by the way!!! Ueda came in and he brought flowers for Sho-chan's birthday ;_______; I love their relationship too much for my own sake lol (Ueda is #me, by the way)

I don't want to make any promises because I'm very busy at work lately BUT!!! I might translate more parts for this episode! And if any subbing community can Q-check my translation and post it for me I might even translate it all because IT'S SO PRECIOUS!!! SHO IS SO LOVED. SO. MUCH. SHO. LOVE. LIKE HE DESERVES.

...

Sorry, I got too excited xD But yeah, if anyone wants to collaborate on this please let me know ♥ For now, enjoy this IntroTalk!

Hiii! I'm back with a new Intro Talk translation after so long x.x I actually should have a couple of Intro Talks that I translated but I never posted, so I might post them later (with or without pics, it will depend on if I have the episode on my laptop.) For now, I wanted to post this translation from last week's VSA in which the guys talk about pets. Sho's laugh was something to behold tbh.

Enjoy! :D

I've been anticipating this episode for a MONTH now, and I've been so busy these past few weeks, so I'm treating this as my reward for all my hard work up until now. I'm so so happy we got this episode. I'm a bit sad they cut most of the Sakuraiba moments (the handshake, the cute talking, Aiba declaring Sho will guess what he's made even if it sucks, the talks about the Italy trip! T.T) but they kept the Passionate Embrace™, so I'm happy anyway T.T I'm so Sakuraiba-starved that I'll take any crumbs I get, not gonna lie.

So, without further ado, here's yesterday's IntroTalk :D

(I had this ready since yesterday but I forgot to post, nice. /facepalms)
