AKEMASHITE OMEDETOU! ^_______^ (nanka, "omedetou"tte kiku ka yomu to, Tegoshi kun ga Koyama kun ni N.E.W.S. DVD de itta "omedetou~" o omoidasu ne ^^)

Taking advantage of winter break to catch up on various news. With the slow PC comes the slow catching up, so I'm still one month behind on all fandom related stuff T_____T
But, yesterday I came across some scans of NEWS in 2008.01 Popolo. Something caught my eye in Tegoshi's interview so I decided to read it, and ended up actually being able to read and understand 99% of it! And when I'm excited about understanding something, I share ^^v

Demo, gomen ne. Since my time is limited I won't be able to post all members' interviews at once (^^;) I'll post em up as soon as I can, one by one This way I'll have an excuse to have you visit my journal more often XD.

'nuff with the ranting, on to the translation.

NEWS major thanks giving 2007 - Thank you for my dearest members!

To say it again is embarrassing but.. always thank you.

From now on, let's have fun all 6 of us!

With the beginning of the year 2007 was the NEWS that resumed its activities. 6 persons that "more than before, have become able to express to each other what they want to say".

Looking back at this year, we talked about the members' feelings of gratitude.

[I'll be going in order of the scans as they are in murasakisun san's post, so #1 is ...]

( Yamashita kun ni, arigatou )

with that the start of a tiny unexpected project ^^v

tiny note on side:
remember the East-West-North-South TVGuide interviews? remember I was translating those? I'm missing the South version XD I only looked in news_jpop and couldn't find the scans. Anyone has them, or knows where they are for sure? I could look in boys_paper, but that would take a while and I'm not even sure they're there ^^; (<-- being super lazy XD)

second tiny note on side:
every time I post something it ends up being about NEWS XD and every time that happens I promise myself that the next post would be about Arashi, but that never happens XD Actually, I did wanna post something Arashi-related, but I can't find it anymore >< hope I find it soon. If I don't, I'll just get me something else to flail about ^^ I need some renewed Arashi excitement in my life ^^v
