Okay, this marks the renewal of the Masa Karasu translation community under two different people: kitsune_kitana and miyabina_hime. Hikari (fynoda) deserves so many thanks for everything that she's done for this comm! Both Jessica and I plan on turning this from something great into something amazing, but we both recognize that we owe a lot to Hikari (and Ambrosia--damaen!) for creating this Miyavi project in the first place.

Everyone else--watch out. We're just getting started. *grin*

祝・暴露本デビュー☆















しかもカラーページ！！(☆o☆)















って、バカヤロ。





はいー、という訳でやってきました暴露本スペシャル２００６

あんね、

ぶっちゃけね、

これもね、

またここで言うたら
書かれるかもしらんけど、ウチの社長はね．．．















えー、ぶっちゃけ俺の趣味じゃないッス（爆）



すんません社長！！
（すぐさま土下座）





でもマジな話、
俺にとっちゃ１０代でこっち出てきた時から

色々面倒かけたし世話もしてもらったオカンみたいなもんで、
（下の世話じゃないよ☆）

今まで苦楽を共にした戦友でもあって、
（苦楽だよ、快楽じゃないよ☆）

まぁ今も同じマンションなんは事実やし、
昔、金も住むトコもなくて事務所住んでた頃なんて
部屋泊めてもらった事もあるしね。
（↑ココ重要、試験でるよ～）

ただね．．．















一度たりとも欲情した事はなかった（笑）



すまん社長！！
（激しく土下座）



だけどね、やっぱり社長としても一人の人間として尊敬してるからさ、

やっぱ悪くかかれるとムカツクよ。

それは社長だけじゃなく、スタッフもそう、ファンもそう。

俺は悪口言うてえーけど、他人が言うてたらムカツくねん（笑）

皆かってそーやろ？

自分じゃ家族の悪口言うけど、赤の他人に言われたらムカツクやろ？

それが家族とか、仲間なんやと思う。





で、





何で今まで俺がコメントしてけーへんかったか。

いや俺、世界見てるから。

笑われてもいい。

誰にどう思われたっていい。

曲がりなりにも未熟なりにも見てるとこはやっぱそこやから。

外やから。

当たり前だけど

「何かに目が向いてる時は何かに目が向いてない時」で、

中ばっか見てたくないから。

今やってる国会と一緒、誰も外向かへん、中ばっかり。

建設的でない。ネクストがない。未来がない。

プライド、意地、面子、誹謗中傷、足の引っ張り合い、

んなもん
笑顔でファッキューじゃん。

だから今後も俺はコメントはしないし、
見るつもりもなければ対応するつもりもない。

何故なら外を向いてたいから。

じゃあ何で今回コメントしたか。

そこに心配してくれるファンがいるから。

それだけ。

綺麗事です。

でもゴメンそれだけ。

信じる、信じない、は勝手やから。

いくら「信じて」っつっても口ではなんとでも言えるから。

俺は曲がりなりにも
自分の信念のもとやってくだけ。

どんだけ曲がっても、絶対折れへんから。

揺らがず、ブレず、ずっとココおるから。










．．．とまぁオチなしですが、

そんな感じで以上、
暴露本スペシャルでしたー。

Hooray・Tabloid Debut ☆















and with color pages!! (☆o☆)















stupid idiot.





Right, and so the Tabloid Special 2006 is done.

you know,

honestly,

this is also, you know,

if I say it here again
it'll probably be written about, but our president, you know…















what?! I honestly have no interest in her! (explosion)



I'm sorry, president!!
(bows down immediately)





So the real story,
from when I came here in my teens,

she was like a mother that both pestered me and helped me out with various things,
(not the help for down there ☆)

and up till now we've been like comrades, going through the good times and the bad times together,
(good and bad times, not pleasure ☆)


Well, it's a fact that we're living in the same apartment building just now,
and a long time ago, when I had no money or place to live and the office was my home,
she also let me stay at her place.
(↑ the above is very important, there will be a test~)


Just so you know…















Not once was there ever a time that I was lusting for her (laugh)



Sorry, president!!
(bows down dramatically)



Because, you know, I have respect for the president as a human being like any other, of course.

After all, when you're slandered you get upset.

That's not just the president, it's the same for the the staff, and the fans.

It's ok for me to badmouth, but when someone else says it I get upset. (laugh)

That's how it is for everyone, right?

Like when you badmouth your own family, but you get pissed when you catch someone else doing it, red-handed?

That's between like family and friends, I think.





So,






Why haven't I made a comment on this until now?

Well, because I've been looking at the world.

You can laugh if you want.

You can think whatever you want.

Because, somehow, being as inexperienced as I am, wherever I look is there, of course.

Because it's outside.

It's common sense, but

when you hear, "Whenever you're looking at something there's something you're not looking at"

it's because I don't want to be looking only inside.

Just like what the Diet (1) is going through now, no one is looking on the outside, only inside.

It's not constructive. There's no next. There's no future.(2)

Pride, will, honor, abuse, people getting in each other's way,

those are
with a smiling face, fuck you. (3)

Therefore I will not comment further,
and I don't plan on looking at it or reacting to it.

Because I want to look beyond this.

Well then why did you comment on it this time?

Because there are fans who are worried.

That's it.

It's clean.

But that's the only comment.

Because believing, not believing is a decision.

Because no matter how many times I say "believe me," I could just say anything that comes out of my mouth.

It's just that I, somehow,
stick to my own beliefs.

Cause no matter how hard I bend, I wont ever break.

Not wavering, not shaking, cause I'm always right HERE.










….and there's no punch line, but

with that, I'm done.
That was Tabloid Special.

/"no matter what, F○iday is better"-Miyavi



-Author's Notes-

(1) The congress/parliament of Japan is called the "Diet" and ever since the Prime Minister Koizumi was elected, it's all been very timultuous. He's been working hard to really make changes in Japan, but most of them include privatizing government-run operations like public transportation and (more recently) the postal system. It'll cut down government spending but many of the more liberal voters in Japan are questioning Koizumi's agenda.

(2) For the sake of the translation: One of the arguments is that this privitization is only a temporary fix to a long-term issue.

(3) "Egao de fuck you" is a phrase that Miyavi often uses in his comments. It can be taken to mean something to the effect of either, "With a smiling face, [I say] fuck you" or "[those are] fuck you's in the face."

(4) In Japan, Friday is a magazine a litte like Newsweek. What confuses me, however, is the fact that it's a kind of sensational photographic tabloid, sometimes getting in trouble for the pictures that it publishes )unauthorized, unflattering photos in the same manner as tabloids here ^^). Maybe he finds it better since it has more of a political tendency?

Japanese:

祝・ＰＶ完成ー☆

今回はキテるよ色んな意味で（笑）

乞う御期待あらん事を願わくば！！！

／チャレンジャイ雅



Translation:

Hooray・PV completion ☆

This time, "kiteru yo" in every sense of the word (laugh)

I hope that it meets your expectations!!!

/Challenger Miyavi



-Author's Notes-

キテるよ (kiteru yo) is a play on words. Kiteru is slang for "cool," but it is also the verb used for putting things on (such as clothes or make-up) or something being cut.

The PV in question is "itoshii hito," so the other definitions of "kiteru" may refer to 1) how heavily made up Miyavi is, with the make-up and the wig, etc. and 2) how much editing--that is, cutting--the PV went through, such as the scenes where he's singing and his head is going all over the place.



...By the way, that amazing, huge PSC-president-scandal post of Miyavi's? Everyone should thank miyabina_hime profusely for that. She did a singularly spectacular job, yeah?
