[Translation] Shinjiro's blogpost, 11th March 2012  
Hello everyone! I don't usually do translations of blogposts, but I thought this post of Shinjiro's was especially thoughtful, so I thought I'd share. This is his blogpost for 11th March 2012, one year on from the Touhoku Earthquake.

Click the cut to read. :)

Good evening!!!

It's already been a year since then, today.

I guess people's ways of thinking and their thoughts have changed because of that, but we can't go back and change things that have already happened.
But I do think we can rebuild, and we can make things even better than before! Let's move forward, and help each other out so that we can all live life to the fullest!

For me, I've been able to live in this way because my family and friends, the other members and our staff, and fans, have always been by my side ☆

I think about this each and every time, but since I'm in this line of work, even as an individual, I would like to make many people happy. (^o^)

I think that for us to be a HAPPY Japan, even if we can't do great things, we must all carry on with our lives ☆

Today as well, the play went on as usual; seeing all the guests' smiles, I was really thankful, from the bottom of my heart!!
And actually, today, all the other members came to watch!!
Even though I told them not to come, they all came, haha...

Well... but I was actually really happy (^o^)

And then at night, we all had dinner together!

Just being like this together, being frank with each other, and many other things, it's just like a family. And no matter what happens, we have our strong bonds with each other; that's what I've thought recently!!

We're all kind of shy, so we don't usually say thank you and things like that, but I think we do think that of each other. It's kind of a strange relationship, haha.
(Really, he thinks everyone is shy...?? I thought that was just him in particular. Lol.)

From here on as well, the seven of us want to bring happiness to as many people as we can (^o^)

The picture was taken with everyone after the performance ☆
Thanks, everyone! (^o^)




And then there was also this on Naoya's Twitter (which I guess was taken during the dinner that Shinjiro's blogpost mentions):

Doesn't it make you just feel all warm and fuzzy inside, seeing them all so happy with each other. :)


And from the comments that followed the picture:

Naoya: Everyone was gathered together today. ru-ru-ru ♪
Misako: appuru, appuru, ru-ru-ru-ru-ru ♫
(The infamous line which Shinjiro was forced to say during the Aomori performance of their 2009 tour XD)
Shinjiro: That's mine!!
(Although I didn't think he'd actually claim it... LOL)
Misako: Ah, it's Yano-senpai!
Naoya: Yano-san ♥

So I gather that Shinjiro's character in the play is probably named "Yano". Lol.

Apart from this community, the only other place where I've posted this is on my own blog.

What a heart-warming blog entry! ❤ Shinjiro is right--they really are like a family, in ways other bands I've ever seen can't quite live up to! I think that's what makes them so special! And reading that Shinjiro feels that way about them too is so nice! ^_^ Thank you so much for taking the time to share that, the tweet translations, and their absolutely adorable pictures together! SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS BAND! ❤

I know, right?? :D

Somehow, I think that Shinjiro would write something like this, but he wouldn't be caught dead trying to physically *tell* anyone the same thing. Typical tsundere. XD

And it just makes it all the more "awwww". :D

Completely understand what you mean! xDDD And he's most definitely a tsundere! xD (Whereas Naoya said Misako is a deretsun, muhaha!)

You know, it feels so weird for me to think that Shin loves Titanic--such a love story...yet he seems not so romantic as a tsundere. ><;; But then he writes gorgeous things like this, and well...<3

Hahahaha!! But really, thank you again for your hard work! ^_^

This makes me feel so warm and happy inside! >< Even the most "tsundere" of the group (or supposedly most tsundere, hehe) has such warm, loving feelings for his bandmates. And that's not surprising one bit. They've toughed through so many things together and just......*melts* This is so perfect!

I was planning on doing something of a surprise on the comm (I won't say what just yet, hehe, to maintain the element of....surprise xD), and this sort of entry perfectly coincides with that!!! (^0^)/

But most of all, thank you so much for taking the time to translate all these things. When I first saw the photos and the tweets on Twitter about all this, my heart felt SO happy! >< Gosh, AAA is the only group that does that for me........And you know, I think it's really funny that Shin claimed his Apuru~ joke, hehe~ ^^

UWAAA! THANK YOU!!! \(^0^)/

Yes, I laughed out loud when I saw that he actually *claimed* it, after all the resistance that he puts up when they make him do anything "cute". LOL.

After the seeing the blogpost, the pictures and the tweets, I was just so full of squee-ness that I decided that I had to collect everything together and share, haha. XD

HAHAHA! Oh my goodness, I do not blame you one bit. xD That is seriously hysterical! He would put it like that, too. Gotta maintain my masculinity, gotta maintain my masculinity! xDDD But I'm glad he's not too afraid to show his softer side now and again! ^^

This was seriously so nice, what was going on with AAA around that time. They had some truly happy tweets together and everything! What a nice time~❤

Thank you again! (^u^)/ I would try and translate Shuuta's blogs more, but he cuts things short towards the end of his sentences that makes it SO tough sometimes! ><;;

thank you for all the translations◠‿◠
his blog was the cutest thing i ever read. I can't help falling in love with them more!!!*their cuteness kills me!!!!✖‿✖*
I agree, their bond is the strongest than any other group i know. I get the feeling that these seven will remain very close friends even after AAA ends◡‿◡.
*i would love for avex give them a variety show/something so i can enjoy more of their cuteness together(^o❤‿❤)^o*

Sometimes they're all so cute and so sweet that one of these days they might be capable of causing diabetes. XD

I have a feeling that they'll always remain really close as well, no matter what happens in their futures, and I also really love when their own families bring food for the members! Like Chiaki's parents giving Shinjiro a cake when he had his talk show in Nagoya, and I think there was one time when Shinjiro's brother brought strawberries for them during some concert.

It's like the members themselves are a family that brings together an even *bigger* extended family, and that's so lovely. (^-^)

:D They are like a family! It's a bit corny, but it always makes me feel very good to see a band who actually all LIKE each other and want to spend time together even when they're not working!

gerri[personal profile] gerri on March 14th, 2012 05:12 pm (UTC)
I agree!

It's just so heartwarming to see that they wuv each other enough to actually want to spend time with each other outside of work! (^v^)

Such a lovely blog entry, it makes me want to give him a huge squishy hug ^^

Their family-like relationship is a big part of why I love them so much, you can see how much they enjoy being around eachother on stage and off, it's adorable <3

Thank you for the translations =)
Now excuse me while I mop up my feelings, they seem to have melted.

gerri[personal profile] gerri on March 14th, 2012 05:15 pm (UTC)
Ahh, yes. It makes me wanna grab him and hug him and go, "awww, you big *softie*." XD

Could I offer you a bucket? You might need somewhere to wring out that cloth while you're mopping up those feelings. XD

I just kept on going AWWWWW while reading this entry. Thank you very much for sharing!
What I love most about AAA is the fact that you can tell they all love working with one another and really treat each other like family. :D

Even though I told them not to come, they all came, haha...
Well... but I was actually really happy (^o^)
And then at night, we all had dinner together!
Why are you guys all so sweet and adorable?!! haha I think it's cute that they all went together to see Shinjiro's play even though he said not to come. XD They all wanted to support him nonetheless.

Andd can I just comment on how great they all look here?

gerri[personal profile] gerri on March 14th, 2012 05:18 pm (UTC)
You've quoted my favourite part of the whole blogpost! Well, okay, second-favourite part. I guess my favourite part has to be the line where he says they're like a family. (^-^)

But yeah, I thought it was very "typical" Shinjiro behaviour, haha... telling everyone not to come and watch, but turning out to be really happy when everyone *does* come to see it, lol.

hello hello~[identity profile] chinchuu.livejournal.com on March 14th, 2012 09:57 pm (UTC)
I loved this entire blog entry. So much AAA love <33

haha they know him well enough to know he's lying when he told them not to come. XD

gerri[personal profile] gerri on March 15th, 2012 12:14 am (UTC)
Hmm, well, I don't really think he was lying...? Maybe, the way he is, I think he might've been worried that he might flub his lines or something and embarrass himself in front of them.

But yeah, I guess they know him well enough to know that he'd still be happy that they came to see him. (^-^) Oh, they're all just so sweet. XD

This was so sweet. One of the many reasons why we all love them. Shinji is so sweet. A really good guy all around (no pun intended). Haha! They are so funny with each other.

gerri[personal profile] gerri on March 15th, 2012 03:32 am (UTC)
Yeah, they make such a loving family that it's utterly adorable. :D

And yes, Shinjiro is a nice guy, but him trying to hide it just makes all the more cute. Lol.
