I always, for some reason or another, chose to kind of ignore celebrities' bdays. But today, first reading the umpteenth post covering the Korea incident including LJers getting a bit worked up over some racism nonsense, and immediately afterwards reading simple bday wishes, and then the nikki entry.. it all just got a few tears jerking up in my eyes (^///^) I love fans when they're in their cute fangirl mode (^^) I love everyone I met here thanx to that. And I love the wonderful person subject of this post.

You do know whose bday it is, right?!! XD

山下智久さんへ、
山下さんは本当に優しくてすごい人だと思います。いつも私たちのことを思ってくれてありがとうございます。
何だか言いたいことが一杯ありますが、今は何も出てきません。(^^;;)
まぁ～とにかく、お誕生日おめでとうございます。\(^o^)/

I just watched the documentary (jounetsu tairiku) thanx to akirashocksubs. *tears* amazing. simply amazing. the man who can't fake a smile..

A couple of comments that may or may not be related to him XD

-, I found out that in Japan a certain phrase is often used.

「バカな子ほどかわいい」 (bakanako hodo kawaii)

which means, the more a child is baka, the more endearing s/he is (no, "kawaii" doesn't mean cute. Girls are cute, children are endearing ^^).
This was during yesterday's Japanese lesson. As soon as sensei said those words I started grinning, I was like, "oh yes, I totally understand that one!!!" XD Who was the first one that came on your mind as you read the phrase/translation ?!! XD

-, Tegoshi Yuya! I still can't get my feelings straight for this kid XD Anyho, this is not about me, but him. First I was convinced he was studying IT in uni I felt kinda special knowing that XD, then in news_jpop Most everyone was saying he's studying Psychology. "Eh? wasn't it IT?". The other day I was chatting with sakuraminamoto-chan about... all sortsa stuff XD and this came up. She confirmed that it is indeed IT !! _o_ More precisely, 人間科学部人間情報科学科（通信教育課程）. People! get your info straight before feeding me wrong VITAL information XD And picking up from her trail of thought, before one posts sth, I hope they'd double check their translations, ne ^^ (Aa~h she said that in a much more interesting way XD) I didn't even bother checking the info 'cause I trusted people's knowledge (^^;;) (note to self: from now on check up on everything.. or just ask Morita-chan; she knows everything XD)

Thank you Morita-chan ^^ Dude she's an amazing person. I barely know her, but I'm liking her more and more everyday ^^ *waves to Morita-chan* la prossima volta che sei a Firenze non vederci non è per niente ammissibile !!! XD tanto so che se succede la colpa sarebbe mia ><' Firenze è cosi vicina ma così lontana T__T

-, Akai hana! ok I might be the last person in the fandom world to have realized this but.. Bambina totally recycled Akai hana's lyrics XD well a tiny part of em. What? no big deal, right. well, it just gave me a feeling like it was a standard phrase _o_ I didn't like that feeling. "yakedo mitaini jirijiri to kogasareta MY HEART" VS. "kokoro yakedo mitaini jiriri kogashiteru". so what? it happens all the time? true.. just that... that line is kinda.. for some reason, special to me ^^ When I translated Bambina, that chorus part was my favorite, it still is along with all the Tegoshi!moans XD.

-, ok last one I swear XD
eh? I forgot what I wanted to write XD
Everytime I listen to "with me" I totally feel like they're singing that song to us. First time I felt that way I.. don't remember what I was doing, but suddenly there was this huge Yamapi picture staring at me right when the phrase, "stay with me", played in my headphones. For some reason, I just felt that moment freeze for a second, and my heart skip a beat. Then Tegoshi's line, "kimini aeru toki wo itsumo yume miteru yo". This sounds more like sth one of us would sing to one of them actually XD I highly doubt whoever wrote the song meant it like that, but inside my mind.. it's all it means ^^


... what? this was supposed to be a PI!POST XD yappa i can't make bday posts ne~ XD Aisu-chan you've transmitted your obsession with that emoji to me XD

oh that baka phrase thing.. first person I thought of was Bakanishi XD Then Aiba-chan.. then Ri-da- XD

end of rant (^^)v HAPPY BDAY .. PRETTY PERSON. proud to be your fan ~YEY! (^_^)b







I wanted to write sth nice, but ... *fail* ><'
