YUI no Ontama 29/03/2007

This time I have the original transcription in Japanese, from おちびちゃん's blog. Thanks to her, I don't have to repeat the video so many times to get what YUI's saying =P As usual, don't believe in everything, and if you wanna soft/ hard-sub it, please double check my grammar lol.

mobile email - YUI

Ontama mail. Received an email from manager san.

YUI:

Otsukaresama. To YUI who always go out for a walk, please be careful when you're going out. I'll get worried if unable to contact you, so please make sure you bring along your mobile phone.

Note that YUI's manager uses ゆい instead of YUI (he knows her real name *of course*). Someone laughed after YUI finished reading, bet it's her staff.

Well then YUI san, please reply it right now. Please reply within the time limit.

YUI: *busy typing...*

You enjoy taking a walk?

YUI: I like it.

I wonder why the host purposely 'distorted' the word suki to tsuki. And YUI replied in su...tsuki too XD

What makes you enjoy taking a walk?

YUI: The change of mood/ pace. And it feels great breathing in the outside air.

You didn't bring along your mobile phone?

YUI: ? Nah. I brought along...I think. Probably.

Eh? It's that so?

5 seconds remaining.

YUI: Finished!

Ontama EZ [chaku uta full] Ranking, the most downloaded song is...

1. Utada Hikaru - Flavor Of Life
2. Koda Kumi - BUT
3. YUI - CHE.R.RY

YUI:

Otsukaresama desu!

I'll be careful when I go for a walk.

As for mobile phone, I'll bring along too. Sun (the emoticon).

Thank you very much!

Seems like a very honest reply.

YUI: Yea...*laughs* Yep.

ということで...

Left: New program Ontama Borderline Right: YUI again in tomorrow.

END.


I'll try to find the most 'appropriate' word for the ones in Japanese. If I found it =x

Random stuff:

Karei naru Ichizoku...W00T!! (2 episodes to go) I don't get why Hana Yori Dango gets Best Drama though =/ For once I see Kimura acting differently (even though still manage to 'spot' some of his 'trademark gestures'), still, he really deserves a Best Actor. The insert song was The Eagles - Desperado, I almost cried during one scene accompanied by this song T.T Wonder how much they paid for this song...

Shinohara Ryoko
has done it again LOL, is there anyone out there can top her now?? Maybe she gets better script =P

Check out the lyrics of this song written by Tanaka Koki (KAT-TUN). Oh GAWD =.= Out of curious how it sounds like, I downloaded it lol. Verdict: He raps better. The song: Hilarious? Learned some 'dirty' words in Japanese xD

Wonder if YUI will ever come up these lyrics (even though CHE.R.RY is considered 'extreme' by my standard lol).

Till then, ajiu~

YUI no Ontama 28/03/2007

I have promised someone to do part 5 first BUT, part 3 is kinda relate to Part 5 so....

Reminder: Don't believe in everything I typed. If you wanna sub it, please 'correct' my English, make it sound nicer lol (I don't wanna get bashed). This time I didn't translate it 'completely' because if using that way I have to reconstruct the sentences, makes it harder to read.



Some of the translation I referred to Brad's @ YUI Lover.

YUI no Ontama

Female voice: Brought to you by au by KDDI.

whisper - YUI

Ontama whisper. A word referring to the theme given. First up, during a film shooting, you messed up the dialogue. Your co-star is a famous actor and he seems pissed. What will you say?

YUI: ...I'm sorry.

After safely finished the filming, and while you were relieved that it turned out okay, there was no tape inside the camera. What will you say?

YUI: おっと! (uh-oh, oops, aiyak, alamak)

You bought a long-sleeved kimono to wear it during adult ceremony, and there is a small stain on it. What will you say?

YUI: Ah there's something on it right?

You exchanged the long-sleeved kimono, have a good look on it and yet there's still have stain on it. What will you say?

YUI: おっと! (uh-oh, oops, aiyak, alamak)

Note that she's smiling when she walks up xD

Ontama CD sales ranking, last week's best seller was...

1. NEWS - Hoshi wo Mezashite
2. Kobukuro - Tsubomi
3. Utada Hikaru - Flavor Of Life

You received an email from the person you had a crush on and it's filled with lots of emoticons. What will you say?

YUI: ehhhhh! うん (agrees on herself).

Note that she's smiling again when she walks up xD In case you wondering why she responded in such way, YUI is not a fan of emoticons. See her diary, she prefers double exclamation marks (!!) =P


Sorry about the 'surrealness' in this episode.

Brought to you by au by KDDI.

Left: The must-bring-thing when going out for a walk will be..? Right: YUI again in tomorrow.


Meanwhile, Brad made some quiz, take this quiz to see How Big of a YUI fan you are.

AND for the guitarists out there (including all the beginners), check here and get a chance to let YUI listens to your 'masterpieces'.

Btw that photo on my profile was taken by Emily Lin with some Nikon D40, need to cut my hair adi.

Till then, adieu~ (Anyone needs a Japanese tutor?? Hire me lol.)

‘chili-chili-out-chil-chili-out kiddy yo'

Album: mihimaru GT - THE BEST of mihimaru GT



Understand
PV is out. It is the theme song of Takeuchi Yuko's latest movie, saidokaa ni inu.

Official Website

I don't know whether if it's a coincidence or not, the character name of the little girl in the movie is....Kondo Kaoru xD

Gonna learn how to pluck this song =D If this song is sung by other artists, I'll skip the PV right away, not really a fan of slow ballad-ish song. But since it's something from YUI, the more I listen to it the more I like it actually. Especially the bridge part. Notice the thin strap she used in the PV?? xD

Some nice people did the timing for the Ontama thing and posted up on YouTube.

YUI no Ontama 26/03/2007
Original Post

I'm kinda surprise that NO ONE (including myself) realised that I made a HUGE mistake on the translation T.T maybe I was high on that day, didn't notice it =.= To cicerone, thank you for hard subbing it and to the YUI fans out there, again, I apologise for making such mistake. No wonder they say that you yourself is the worst judge, can't help but kept trying to look for mistakes in that 1 min long clip lol. I shall stop procrastinating and start working on the rest.

Anyway, it's been a long time since I last write a dorama entry. Having holiday now, spending most of the time 'clearing up' the dramas in my hard disc. This season I've picked 4 doramas to watch. Due to the Golden Week thingy, the ratings are pretty much sucked.

Japanese Drama Season - Spring 2007

As usual, I will arrange them from the one I like the most (so far) to my least favourite.

Bambino!




I like dramas with food as the main theme. I still manage to finish Teppan Shoujo Akane even though it was cheesy to the max. Ok not really, not because of the food actually, it's the person who makes the food (Horikita Maki LOL). In Bambino! we have Karina =D the girl with blue cap. She just won best supporting actress for her role in Boku no Aruku Michi. So nice to look at LOL.

Forget about the 'visual effects'. In this drama Matsumoto Jun is some kampung boy from Hakata(博多), Fukuoka. Why they have to put Arashi's song as the theme song anyway?? Was hoping that they'll pick a more 'artistic' song.

You know dear YUI is from Fukuoka, and she IS from Hakata too. When Matsujun speaks with her girlfriend in the drama, they used Hakata dialect. Thanks to YUI, I learned some of it through the interviews and managed to apply it to this drama haha. It seems that the translators know Italian too, they can even translate those Italian dishes :O *salutes* I shall ask my Italian major course mates to listen to the Japanese-ish Italian. See if they pronounced it correct or not xD

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joudan ja nai



Ueno Juri won best actress for Nodame Cantabile, which was my favourite drama of last year's fall season drama. Again I don't like the theme song of this xD The plot should be quite ridiculous but I like it lol. It's funny yet not cheesy, thanks to the great acting by the cast.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal Daisakusen



Not really into these one episode one senario thing, for jdramas. Plus the stupid catchphrase and the chanting part everytime the 'cupid' appears are kinda annoying. Well since it's a drama feat Nagasawa Masami and Yamashita Tomohisa, should be 'visually' stunning enough haha, even though it seems that YamaP is still playing himself in the drama. His character reminds me of Densha Otoko (who's 'fighting' alone), but I think he is even worse than Densha =.=

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seito Shokun!



Ironically YUI sang the theme song for this drama lol. The good thing is you can listen to My Generation orchestra and guitar plucking version, must get the soundtrack =D The whole 'ugly history' was too normal(?) for me, watched too many school dramas I guess. As usual Horikita Maki is nice to look at, but I'm kinda worry that Nobuta wo Produce will stuck as so called her best work. Even though she got Best Supporting actress for Kurosagi (which I thought her acting was just meh).

Guess what sort of 'relationship' dear YUI has with 2 of the main cast in the drama, Horikita Maki and Hongo Kanata. YUI and Maki chan are the regular hosts in SCHOOL OF LOCK! radio program. I only have the access of YUI LOCKS!, thanks to the nice fans out there. YUI mentioned Maki chan's name from time to time (for anouncement purposes). Maki chan is one of the teacher of GIRLS LOCKS!, which features 6 bijin sensei (beautiful teachers). I wanna be their students too LOL (even though I'm older than some of them >.< ).

Slightly off topic here, might as well talk about YUI's 'relationship' with Narumi Riko. Yes, the b!thcy but thoughtful sister in 1 Litre of Tears. She is one of the bijin sensei in GIRLS LOCKS! too. Long story but I'll cut it short, since last week dear YUI has been paying 'visits' to other classes in the school of lock, after hosting the show like more than 6 months. Which btw I think these paying visits thing was initiated by RADWIMPS aka Raddo sensei. YUI heard that Riko chan likes her first album a lot, so she sent Riko chan a package with CAN'T BUY MY LOVE cd and a message from her in it.



「璃子ちゃん、(ファースト) アルバム聴いてくれてありがとうございます。セカンド・アルバムも良かったら聴いてください。それから明日は、いよいよ演劇部の春ドラマの発表ですね。あの…私の曲を、良かったらテーマ曲に使ってください! YUIでした!!」

(SOURCE: GIRLS LOCKS! website)


Too bad I can't hear it T.T Can only rely on the 'text version' >.< Glad that YUI is getting more 'open' to other artists now. Good sign. Lets see if she will have any interactions with the guests in the future apperance in Music Station.

Back to Hongo Kanata. Apparently this kid has YUI's mobile phone number :O He said in some magazine that sometimes he mails dear YUI (as said by some Japanese fan). Ish, I'm jealous. In case you don't know, he is the kid in Tommorow's way PV, which is the theme song of the movie Hinokio. He's in it as well.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I watched abit of Watashitachi no Kyokasho too, but I think one school drama already enough. So...quit lol. As for previous season, I finished Haken no Hinkaku and Hanadan. Still watching Karei-naru Ichizoku (some twisted drama *tsk *tsk). My short reviews are here. Note that I joined the website like 4 years ago, my English was really sucked back then. Now 'slightly' better. *ahem* Slightly.

Till then, au revior.

Talila talila talilalilalila Galileo Galilei~

Album: RADWIMPS - RADWIMPS 4 ~おかずのごはん~

Somehow this entry has something to do with YUI. If you have the time, feel free to read it, ranted alot though.

Before that, today I digged around YouTube and I found this. *embarrassed* How to make the love icon thing anyway??

I got myself a classical guitar yesterday from my uncle~ Yamaha C-60. My advice will be if you want to learn guitar all because of YUI, better buy an acoustic guitar because classical guitar sounds weird when you strum it even though it is easier to play and doesn't hurt that much on the fingers. Maybe I should change this strings and stuff first, before I try to practice plucking on this guitar =D Because it was stuffed in the cabinet for so long.

I went to the Wesak Day's parade thing too. I missed it last year because of National Service. Saw alot of old friends, which was nice. I listened to ELLEGARDEN's songs throughout the whole parade, Emily Lin, if you're reading this, I was listening to RADWIMPS and ELLEGARDEN. Not that I didn't want to tell you, no point telling you something you might not like, it's all about personal preferences. Not many Malaysian listen to this anyway (been a freak for the past 5 years), if you know+like (Malaysian) them, add me in your msn NOW lol. After that my friend joined me and we walked together. Maybe I should go and meet her cousin someday since he's crazy about the Japanese culture and just bought a guitar LOL.

I read an article on newspaper the other day. About the current trend of publishing media. Nowadays people rely on internet more to look for relevant information, and a lot of 'pros' were borned. But they are only good in certain fields and these people might not aware of the current world's events and so on. When we read newspaper, at least we will take a glance on the main title even if it's something we are not interested. But when it comes to the internet, we will only look at things we want to see. I'm kinda like that actually.

If you don't get it never mind, the point is I just wanna say that besides YUI, I know other stuff too that's all. I read newspaper from time to time (not everyday) and Harry Potter, I don't listen to Chinese songs that much anymore but I do know most of the old ones, I do admit that I 'neglected' English songs nowadays. I spent whole afternoon yesterday watching astro's channel 16, 71 (MTV) and 72 (channel V) at my uncle's house. A lot of crappy songs but I enjoyed it anyway, seeing those so called best sellers of these days. Snow Patrol's Spiderman 3 mtv was funny, they're really getting more popular. Watched The Fray's How to save a life for the first time as well lol. I still prefer European music =x I admit that of all the American punk/ emo/ rock bands out there, I prefer Good Charlotte. Keep your hands off my girl~~ I don't know why I didn't go to their concert though.....Muse...T.T

Enough of the Western music talk lol. I just bought Sarah Mclachlan's Surfacing the other day because there aren't nice albums available in Malaysia these days. Had to buy old ones. Or maybe because I listen to those non-mainstream stuff =/ Have to rely on internet shops these days. But since I'm so cheap, I rather wait until it's available in Malaysia because I can get discount from my aunt =D

Talking about YUI's latest album in Malaysia, my aunt asked Sony about it and they said still no news regarding whether they will import it or not zzz. There are HK, Taiwan, Singapore versions out there why don't they just cincai import one to Malaysia??? *sigh* A bunch of slow-@sses.

This entry is getting too long and I still haven't write the main topic LOL. Separate it better then.

Someone is going to America zzz. I don't know the exact place though =x

To be continue.
