as many may have already guessed, i am going on a hiatus. reason being, i really can't keep up with life and fandom and it is really unfair to leave all of you hanging. but trust me, it irritates me as much when i post translations late or go missing for a few days. it's almost like the heart is willing but the flesh is weak. thats when it hits me that i can no longer juggle fandom as one of my priorities, ouch. and im truly sorry bout it. im not seeking understanding here, you all can uh curse me if you want. 

thankyou for supporting newsxoxo all these while. and my lovely ljfriends, i will miss you! please continue to spread the NEWS love for me.

and hopefully, life will bring me back.
so goodbye, for now.

Konbachiwa!
Nagoya's Party went smoothly for 3 days

Today is very happy too!

The guests who attended, their faces were great.

All along, thank you.

Changing topics,
I have been writing nikki for about 5 years.

Really quite long (laughs)

Occasionally, there won't be much topics
Perhaps it's today (laughs).

Now I am on the way back!

While writing nikki, I am fighting against the sleeping demon's attack.
I will not lose.

But there is still a long way before reaching Tokyo.
For now I shall eat Nagoya's specialty miso katsu rice while on the way back

[T/N: miso katsu rice is a specialty of Nagoya, which is pork cutlet rice.]

Merry Xmas eve! [T/N: Pi wrote this in English.]

Today a present was sent to my house.

The moment I saw it, my heart raced.

The person who sent the present is Yamazaki Tsutomu-san.

So touched.

Not sure how I should describe my feelings.

Touched to the max~~

The best Christmas~~(^0^)

Konbachiwa~
Today is Nagoya's second day
Passed safely

After that I got hungry, someone called for takeout.

The fried udon seems really delicious~

Nagoya actually still has a (con) tomorrow!

Please come happily! (^0^)

Next I have to for a discussion, see you tomorrow (^0^)

Everyone coming for the party
Please be happy

LOVE 412

Sorry about yesterday

Kumamoto is really cute

Suki bai

Because liking (something) is said this way

Yesterday the members went to eat together

Horse sashmi and all kinds of local dishes

Yamapi, Shige, Tego and me went to the bathhouse after that

Ah~ It feels different to have a bath in a different place, so this is also something to look forward to in the concert tour

Everyone went into the sauna room together, the TV in the sauna room was showing a quiz program.

We were the only ones present in the sauna room, so everyone participated enthusiastically

The rule is, one is disqualified when one is wrong

Ah~
I was defeated in the first question

It only involved answering O or X，but I was still wrong

Don't know who won in the end

Because it ended for me in the first question, I battled with the heat after that

And actually,
I also answered the second question in my heart, but I was still wrong

Ah ah

Nothing much to do,
And I lost to the heat,
So i was the first to leave the sauna room

In the end everyone drank coffee milk together

Great

Lastly

It is really cold recently,
So as part of defending myself from the cold, I bought a pair of boots
Come, I shall introduce

Snow boots

and once again, sorry for all these being late (: ]
 

LOVE 412

Now I am going to catch a plane

Sorry, I am unable to update

Tonight, I wrote after work ended, I should be able to update properly tomorrow

...

Wait for me
 

1:57 PM

Konbanwa.

I am Nishikido

How is everyone?

I just recovered after being sick.

Recently, it is really cold.

Ryusei no Kizuna finally going into the last episode tomorrow.

Everyone, please do not miss it.

Hi everyone

I am Koyama Keiichiro

So,

Let's talk about the interesting undisclosed behind-the-scenes of Hiroshima

It is named

The Battle for the Shower

At Hiroshima,
After the last concert ended, we still had to rush to catch the plane, so we needed to set off immediately

But,
Every of our members must shower after a concert

But,
The resting room only had 5 shower rooms

After the concert ended, everyone dashed back to the resting room

15 minutes to the time we have to set off.

The first to reach the resting room is Tego, Ryo and me

Under such circumstances where we were racing against time, we went into the shower rooms

The next to return is Shige

Shige went into the shower room immediately too

Here, I am really concerned about Masuda-san

Yamapi's preparation speed is very fast, so there shouldn't be a problem

But Masuda-san isn't a person who can get ready immediately... Would there be a problem??

The next moment,
Loud panting sounds were heard coming from the shower rooms

Puhipuhi

Puhipuhi

Massu has arrived

Haven't seen the expression of someone trying so hard in a long while

I am afraid that in Massu's case,
He was still rather carefree after the concert ended, but suddenly thought of having to set off immediately, then dashed over

Shall say it again

Haven't seen the expression of someone trying so hard in a long while  

Successfully set off with all members

Massu slept on the car ride to the airport

It is tiring to do something you are not used to doing usually

He worked hard

It would be great if we can return carefreely next time

Everyone must give Massu an award for working hard~

Puhipuhi

LOVE 411

Really scared

Hiroshima's Party
The last concert

I was too happy, kept jumping around.

The song ended, when I was leaving  the stage, I felt that the stairs should be there...

But that was my illusion,
Actually, there wasn't any stairs there

The venue darkened,
I couldn't see clearly

This means that I had fallen

From a height of above 2 metres, I fell alone

The witnesses are the audience who was in front of me when I fell

They were really worried about me

Thank you

I am alright

Although my back and arms hurt a little, it will be okay soon

But after falling alone, the staff came immediately, which makes me relieved

Ah~ Really scary

It is really great that I excercise

Really alright?

Although I was really scared,
I still feel very happy

Everyone of Hiroshima

Thank you for giving us your precious time

Suki jake

After I got home,
I was healed by Nyanta

Used the warm carpet which can be exchanged by using Lawson's stickers to keep warm

So,

See you in Kumamoto's Party


[T/N: picture credits totepijin

suki jake is a local slang in Hiroshima for suki desu, which means I like all of you in this context.]

Konbachiwa (^0^)(^0^)

Today I am at Nagoya!

There were many Santa Claus! Nice partystyle (^0^)

Today, NEWS' members are having a Christmas party that is attended by the members ourselves only.

Hm~~. So awkward (laughs)

Because there is going to be gift exchange

So I went to buy using my own money!

Who will get my present (laughs)

vol.1942
8:10 PM

Konbachiwa!

Today's weather is very good.
I feel that my mood is very good too!

I walked my dog!

I really haven't done it in a long while.

It is really good at wagging its tail, to the extent that I feel like saying, you are too good at wagging tail! (laughs)

8:06PM

Konbachiwa!
This morning I returned from Kumamoto~

I am back!

After returning, it's work, and now I am going to the gym leisurely!

Everyone must be thinking, what is going leisurely, right? (laughs)

I don't really work hard in gym
But I will still go

That's the meaning! (laughs)

It seems that it will be warmer in the weekend (^0^)

8:58 PM

Konba!

The horse meat sashimi I ate yesterday is the best!
Today's live is the best too!

Party has progressed to the later half!
I feel that time passes really fast!

Although it is a little rushed
I want to continue next year.

I want to sing more songs!

I want to make everyone and us happier

Yoshii! Will work hard for the later half too (^0^)

vol.1939
8:48 PM

Konba!

Today we came to Kumamoto!

In the morning, at Tokyo, it was still raining!

But reaching Kumamoto, it was a sunny day!

Although it is nothing much, on sunny days, moods are really good (^0^)

Next up, everyone is going to eat Kumamoto's special dish!

[T/N: the last line was written in Kumamoto's dialect.]

LOVE 410


 

Eating shabushabu alone

So lonely~

When preparing the hotpot alone, I really felt very lonely

Recently, I go home right after rehearsals, so I haven't been eating with anyone, ate with Nyata at home instead 

Nyata, who's beside me, seems to feel that the light is too bright  Sleeping

But, yesterday

The instructor from the gym I go to and other customers he is in charged of, the 5 of us went to eat together, which we haven't done so in a while

An early bounenkai

So,
Everyone gathered together

Very high

Sang songs

The first song ma

weeeek

Yes
I chose this song

Everyone should also choose this song as the first song for bounenkai

Today I have rehearsal too~

Going to work hard

Tomorrow is Hiroshima's Party

Wait for us


[T/N: bounenkai is a end of year party.]

6:15 PM

Went to watch the live performance of Uta Utai yesterday.

As expected, he is the best

[T/N: Uta Utai is a song by Ryo's favorite singer, Kazuyoshi Saito]

8:08 PM

Konbachiwa!
Finally into this (music) channel.

CATV!
Kept watching its music programs!

The best!

I danced too much yesterday, muscles are aching (laughs)

Tomorrow's Kumamoto's Party
Let's get high together!

vol.1934
8:03 PM

Konbachiwa!
The non-ommitted version, which hasn't been seen for a while.

The neons lights on the streets are too stunning.
Giving off light brightly.

The Rainbow Bridge is lighted up by "rainbow".

Isn't that no difference from usual (laughs)

But, this is the first time I am seeing it (laughs)
 

vol.1935
8:29 PM

Konbachiwa!
There's a Party today too!

Many people from Hiroshima put in effort in dressing up
So I am a little happy seeing that, my emotions got high (laughs)

Tomorrow, I am going to do it happily too!
Everyone who is coming tomorrow! Please look forward to it! ^0^
 

vol.1936
7:09PM

Konbachiwa!

Today we had a party at Hiroshima again!

Very happy~ ^0^

At the second concert, I saw a little girl near the central stage who was wearing a little gown/dress and  holding my uchiwa (^0^)

So I threw out the towel I was waving with. (^0^)

But, because there was only one towel, I was a little worried (^0^)

There is an increasing number of people who came dressed up for us, very happy!

Thank you (^0^)

Concert——

Must work~~ harder (^0^)
 

vol.1937
7:34 PM

Chiwa!

Today I went to the gym, which I haven't went in a while~~ (^0^)

After that, I went to Dance

I recently took an increasing liking towards Dance.

[Although I like acting most, ultimately I still like to dance.]

I realised that recently!

In high school, at night, a few of us would bring a radio to a nearby closed supermarket to dance.
As to why supermarket, it's because there is a huge glass at the entrance which can replace the mirror!

Thought of myself who would such things.

So today I am going to dance too


[T/N: sorry, pardon me for disappearing without notice at all. it was my birthday and i got caught up with all the celebrations and stuff. Koyama's LOVE 410, LOVE 411 and NEWSmile coming up! (: ]

How is everyone?

I am great

I want to talk about behind-the-scenes of Oita concert

The resting room was rather small (laughs)

Although it is a good resting room
It can't be used by 6 people (laughs)

Ah! The takeout was delicious

So I spent more time eating the takeout than being in the resting room (laughs)

At night everyone ate yakiniku together

I sat at the same table as Nishikido-kun, Tegoshi-kun and Yamashita-kun
Koyama and Shige were sitting at the next table

Ate a lot

I left my seat for a while
When I returned, my plate was piled with beef tongues! (laughs)

Everyone
Really wanted to eat beef tongues initially
But because it was served late
So perhaps they were too full?! (laughs)

Oita's air is great!

So the food is very delicious too?!

Thank you Oita!

The concert was really happy!

Everyone of Sendai, Fukui, Sapporo and Oita
Thank you

The concert is still going on
Everyone please look forward to it

Currently I have already started filming drama RESCUE~ tokubetsu koudo kyuujotai
Everyday is spent happily

The drama starts airing in January
Everyone please look forward to it

Alright! See you!

Konbachi!

Today is not really cold too (^0^)

Today I read a magazine,
It wrote about the ways to write mail to make one become a love pro.

Can one really become a love pro using that? (laughs)

I believe that by expressing your feelings directly in words, it would be a hundred times more effective.

But, when one is insecure, I guess one would want to rely on something!

YOU, come rely on me (laughs)

LOVE 409

Oita's Party was great!

It was the first time going to that venue, we were really near everyone, scared me

Was everyone who came very happy??

We are really satisfied

The last concert,
During the MC there was a game, the one who lost had to be punished to go naked

The one who lost is

Nishikido-san (laughs)

He was very unwilling,
So fun!

We really carried out the punishment game

But the one who decided on the punishment game is Nishikido-san

Otsukare sama deshita

These two days, the atmosphere is really lively

Thank you

The dinner I am going to have in Oita,
I am looking forward to it

By the way,
A couple of days back I went to eat yakiniku with my friends in Oita

Yesterday, the place where I met up with my friends was also a yakiniku shop

And so, Oita

It is harsh to eat yakiniku two days in a row, so I am looking forward to something more light
Seafood etc

The shop I went to in Oita

Here it is



...

...

...

As expected...

Indescribable in words...

Ya

Ya

Is that a yakiniku shop?

...

First time three days in a row

Iya It's tough (laughs)

After going home
I want to eat soba

My stomach (´Д｀)
