Konbachiwa!
Right now I’m at the train station.
There is a pleasing smell coming from the tachigui (food stall) soba next to me.
I want to eat it but my buddy U-kun and I made plans.
But soba only takes 3 minutes to eat.
Distressed!
Decided! I’ll eat the soba after we meet!
This choice means my PQ (Potentiality Quotient) is very high no?! (Laugh)
Today we’re going to see a movie!
Lately I’ve been consciously watching movies!
There are many related things that I can learn!
I hope I can apply them to the coming ‘Kurosagi’!
Therefore today I’m also going to study.

(Helen: I think there is a show on TBS called Shimada Kentei Super!! that tests out people’s PQ. If you understand Japanese, you can try the test here: http://www.tbs.co.jp/pqtest/test.html)

Konbachiwa!
When I went to the convenient store today I met a very articulate store clerk!
It seemed like she was reading from a news script! (Laugh)
Therefore even though that clerk worked at the next register, I roughly knew what the person next to me bought!
Pork buns look delicious.

Today my buddy returned from Australia.
It’s good, great that he returned safely.
I want to travel abroad too! I want to go to Hawaii.
I want to surf everyday when I go to Hawaii.
It seems so much fun! I can’t stop laughing just from thinking about it.
I saw today’s ‘One Piece’ movie preview – the new single is in it!
I really like that song. (Laugh)
The title is ‘Sayaendou.’
How about it?
Can you feel the atmosphere? (Laugh)
Doesn’t it have a big impact? (Laugh)
Everyone please look forward to it.


(Helen: Thank god Yuu is back.)

Konbachiwa!!
It’s cold today.
Just before I went to the movie theater.
That movie was really interesting.
Hollywood is amazing after all.
I want to invade Hollywood~
Win an Academy Award~! (Laugh)
Dream big
Not sure why today I’m in a cloudy mood!
What is it?!!
I can’t express it.
My writing skills are not up to par!
A~ just this type of feeling!
Understand? (Laugh)
Therefore I went for a drive in order to feel better.
But it wasn’t good enough after all. I screamed when I stopped at every red light! Yamashita Tomohisa will become Japan’s Number One
Like this!
A very hot-blooded man no?!
Don’t pull me back! (Laugh)
Occasionally the drivers next to me gave me strange looks!
I don’t know why I was annoyed so I gave them the ‘Kon’ sign and the looks were even more strange! (Laugh)
But it felt good!
This way tomorrow I’ll be a hundred times more energetic.


(Helen: Who’s going to believe you don't know why? The entire world knows. Yeah my urge to strangle someone resurfaced after this entry.}

Konbachiwa!
Today’s weather is very nice. Because it’s setsubun (end of winter holiday).
Fortune In!
Monster Out!
Yes everyone say it!
Fortune In!
Monster Out!
This way everyone will be happy this year.
I’ve been reading books lately.
That one was given to me by the author himself!
He doesn’t watch TV very often, so it seems that he doesn’t know who I am.
Speaking of how I was able to obtain it,
The author wanted more people to read this book so he gave out 1000 copies as presents!
As he was gathering the names of those who wanted to receive the book on his own homepage, my name is there!
I’m happy when I think that there is someone who listed my name.
I also want to give presents to everyone who’s always watching and supporting me.
I’ve thought about many things after I read that book.
After reading there are many things that are left behind as knowledge.
It’s good to read when you have free time.


(The author's page:(thanks Minami )
http://www001.upp.so-net.ne.jp/mori/myst/star_req.html
MAN there are a lot of famous people on that list. This author really doesnt watch TV????)

Kon (o^o^o)
Now there is recording for the radio now that filming has finished!
It’s a program about great music in Western music! Very good taste no?!
I’ll get the chance to play Western music’s mellow-feeling R&B it’s not senkyoku (electoral district) change it back cell phone! It’s senkyoku (song selection)! It didn’t correct the typo! (Laugh)
Please accept mistakes with your open heart.
It seems that I said some pretty things! (Laugh)
Today after work finishes I’m going shopping with Jin!
The Yamashita who has decided to buy the same watch!
Change of topic but lately I think DJs are cool and since my friend does it often, I asked him to teach him after frequently watching him.
But I tried it for the first time at the last concert.
I need to practice more.


(Helen: "Please accept mistakes with your open heart." Sigh. Okay, I'll try

Konbacchikooi (o^o^o)
Let anything come! Balls or eggs or onions! I’ll eat them all
A~ but I don’t like fresh cream.
Lately friends around me who speak English are increasing rapidly. So I think if I start to speak English, even just a few words, I want to say it more and more. (Laugh)
Therefore if there is time I want those friends to give me LESSON. (o^o^o)
The closer I feel to America the smaller Japan seems!
Everyone, no not everyone, but myself included there are many people with narrow hearts, aren’t there? The Japanese?
Ma~ then just speaking a bit English will make the world a broader place. Definitely.
Okay! Then let me go surfing abroad!

Konbachiwa!
Today, I was writing a report at home!
But I’m done!
It’s about Locke’s ideology.
Next time perhaps I’ll talk about my ideology.
Starting now I’m going to search for clothes to wear in ‘Kurosagi.’


(Helen: John Locke. Ahh I remember writing that report on 'Two Treatises of Government.' Social Contract. The right of the majority. BLAH BLAH BLAH.)

Konbacchikooi
When I was still a baseball boy I often said ‘Bacchikooi’.
I think it probably means ‘Hit it over here.’
Change of topic but someone fell asleep at the train station yesterday!
He seemed like a salary man and I wanted to wake him up in case he catches a cold but he didn’t wake up at all.
I wonder if he arrived home safely?
Right right, a while ago a senpai in college suddenly called at night and impatiently said ‘My body doesn’t feel well and I can’t walk. Help me!’
I was on the car with a friend, so that friend and I brought the senpai home together. His room was really dirty so I cleaned up and then went home
I’m such a good person!
Don’t say so yourself! (Laugh)
I can’t refuse friends and senpais’ requests.
That senpai is always helping me and teaching me Chinese.
Everyone please treasure your friendships.
We know without you telling us!
Why is it in the Kansai dialect? (Laugh)
I’ll let him treat me to eat next time.


(Helen: That baseball talk is strange. Are you telling me no matter what kind of ball the old man and life throw at you (fastballs, curveballs, sliders, etc.), you’ll always take it head on??? Okay. Got it. I don’t know why every time I hear baseball I think of Kame.)

Konbachiwa.
Today was filming!
When there was free time during filming I downloaded cell ring tones! (Laugh)
I downloaded hard rock!
It raised my excitement (Laugh)
There was a guitar on the set, so I played and sang Kinki Kids-san’s ‘もう君以外愛せない’ (mou kimi igai aisenai) by myself!
I’m disgusting! (Laugh)
I should’ve realized this before I played and sang! (Laugh)
Change of topic, during this morning’s Shape Up program the meteorologist Kihara-san used ‘Seishun Amigo’ for body training!
Even training is using ‘Amigo’, I’m very happy.
If everyone has something to do, please also use ‘Seishun Amigo.’ (Laugh)
It’s more efficient than mail orders
No doubt about it! Mail order Tony said so.

Konbachiwa. (o^o^o)
Today my buddy traveled to Australia. It’s a little lonely!
Since we’re together everyday!
His souvenir will probably be a koala bear! (Laugh)
Ma~ we’ve been friends since my first year in high school. It’s been such a long time when I think about it! (Laugh)
How to say it, it was decided since our first impression! (Laugh)


(Helen: I didn’t realize you and Yuu were love at first sight.)


Change of topic, I was reading the ‘Kurosagi’ manga on the train today and I missed by stop so I was almost late! (Laugh)
I’m very focused on everything!
It has its pros and cons!
I want to be able to insert balanced power into two tasks!
It seems that since I took on the drama I’m in complete drama mode! (Laugh)
Right now I have to go play with my friends (Laugh)
It’s very sudden but tonight I plan to eat dumplings!
Ma~ but it’s the kind you buy at supermarkets.
We seem to see eye to eye!
Dumplings with white rice.
A~ I want to hurry back to eat


(Helen: I’m no longer surprised that you can see eye to eye with dumplings. Dumplings with white rice? Okay, who does that??!!!)

Konbachiwa.
I took a nap around noon but woke up at 8:55! (Laugh)
I didn’t write the diary at all!
This is bad (Laugh)
I’m sorry!
A~ today is the 900th entry!
Amazing.
This is really a diary!
How would I feel when I look back on this when I’m 30? (Laugh)
I look forward to it.
Before you know it it’ll be the 1000th entry.
From now on, when you’re free, when you think back to the past, please read this.
Yoroshikuu.

Konbachiwa (o^o^o)
I went to school today. It’s cold lately! (Laugh)
When it’s cold, of course one has to drink coffee.
I’m pretending to be an adult I ate kimchee Nabe yesterday.
It was spicy.
Of course it is.
I passed by Shibuya on the way back from school and I wanted to buy something at the CD shop but was confused that I didn’t buy anything.
Occasionally it’s nice to wander around by yourself.
It’s fun to observe people.
But it’s cold.
Oh right right, I saw Myojo and Jin won 16 titles!
It’s great but I’m lamenting!
A~ I’m mad!
Then why are you together everyday?! (Laugh)
Ma~ but I can take 1000 titles. (Laugh)


(Helen: LOLLLLLL. Please Umipig, you know you owned those titles before NEWS debuted. You were No. 1 when you just turned fifteen.)


A~ I can be the lead actor now.
The original work is a very interesting manga called ‘Kurosagi’.
I’m really happy.
To the tell the truth, I have a lot of pressure because the work is so interesting.
But I won’t lose!
I’m suddenly worked up
But it’s very appalling that my first main lead role is a con artist!
Everyone please watch it.
I’ll work hard!
I’ll have many different guises.
Such as thugs (ちんぴら), escorts (ホスト), white collars (サラリーマン), etc. (Laugh)
I’m hungry!
I’ve decided to go to the gyuudon (beef rice bowl) shop I often went to in high school.
I’ll add eggs on top.


(Helen: I’ve been watching Yaoh and I’d like to see Umipig as a thug and a ホスト. LOLLLLL. AHHH he's killing me with all these emoji.)

Konbachiwa (o^o^o)
Tests are over! (Laugh)
I can’t stop laughing! (Laugh)
The tests haven’t been over for long and I find that no matter what I have the inclination to use those difficult words.
Try out statements such as “The decrease in the rate of profit is the capital accumulation and productivity increase due to the increase in speed in each worker’s production facility and capital structure.”


(Helen: HOLY CRAP!!! okay i'm including the original text cuz im not sure if i translated that correctly. thanks makiron~!


利潤率の低下は資本の蓄積と生産力の増大が労働者一人当たりの生産設備と資本構成の高度化ナンチャラカンチャラなぁんて感じで論述してきたわけですたい

Umipig i honestly didnt know you had this in you. luckily im majoring in finance so i know how to translate those financial terms. WOW. i dont know why im so surprised since i know u're majoring in business. LOL. Ryu chan, u may be right. maybe he is trying to become one of the Jimusho's board of directors someday. LOLLLLL. )


Oh right right!
A long time ago when I was taking the train, the high school girls sitting next to me were talking about NEWS.


One of them said “Anyhow I like Massu , then Ryo-chan, then Yamapi .”
I was very happy when the girl next to her said “Isn’t Yamapi the best?”, so as I was getting off I said to them “Thank you for talking about us. ” (Laugh)
They were shocked! Very excited! If it were to be shown on TV, that would be a good reaction! (Laugh)
In other words whether bad words or anything else they were talking about me!
But it were bad stuff I would lose my temper! (Laugh)
I really would!


(Helen: makiron and i were saying - what a bunch of lucky girl~! i can imagine the violent reactions. oh and no, i dont think Umipig and Ryotaro WERE best friends. i meant they were very close but got separated briefly. they ARE best friends and they'll always be~~)

Tomorrow there are 3 tests at school, so I’m pulling an all-nighter!
Everyone who has been waiting for this, are you dissatisfied that you can’t read my interesting entry today? I will satisfy those desires tomorrow, so please sleep quietly tonight.
Good night.

Konbachiwa. (o^o^o)
Last night’s dinner was Nabe (hotpot)! Delicious!
It was chanko! (traditional sumo stew)
When I put on the lid on the open fire and came back to the kitchen after getting ingredients, it spilled over and I was shocked!
I was involuntarily shaken! Whenever I make Nabe I always think about Ikuta Toma!
During high school, he very enthusiastically recommended tounyuu (soy milk) Nabe to me!
Even though I wasn’t very fond of it I gave it a try!
It wasn’t lacking but very delicious!
Since then, whenever I eat Nabe, I don’t know why but the face of Toma eagerly recommending tounyuu Nabe always surfaces in my head! (Laugh)


(Helen: i think i dont even need to say anything anymore. Umipig, )

Konbachiwa (o^o^o)
Yesterday it snowed really hard.
When I opened the window in the morning I had a feeling that I arrived in Hokkaido!
Just kidding! That was exaggerating!
Actually it felt more like Aoimori! (Laugh)
Also yesterday I went for a drive in the snow!
I wasn’t afraid at all Yeah! (Laugh)
Then I went to Jin’s house and ate Jin Mama’s cooking. Declicious!
Afterwards I played with the dog!
Since I must study for the exam today, it felt like the last supper (Laugh)
Anyhow I’m going to work!


(Helen: funny how ur thought naturally flows to Hokkaido. ^_~)

Konbachiwa (o^o^o)
But it’s cold.
Yeserday I went to something of a movie preview for the first time.
It’s said to open in the ‘Golden Week.’
There’s a bit of privileged feeling to see it first.
The way that movie was filmed and the scenes very interesting and pretty!
Lately I’m always thinking about what to do for the next concert!
Right now I can’t say what I want do!
Because it’s no fun if things were exposed! (Laugh)
Yesterday I watched ‘Dr. Dolittle’ while eating with Jin and U. (Laugh)
Really funny! (Laugh)
Come to think of it I haven’t touched the topic of snow at all! (Laugh)

1/20
8:53pm
#893


Konbachiwa.
Oh no! It might snow tomorrow! They just said it on TV.
If it snows let’s make kakigori (shaved ice) and eat it! (Laugh)
I like ‘Blue Hawaii.'(kakigori flavor)
But I like Hawaii more. (Laugh)


Yesterday Ryo-chan and I ate together.
We ordered so much but we ate almost everything.
What were delicious yesterday were goyachanpuru (tofu with bittermelon; Okinawan dish) and dashimaki tamago. (omelet roll)
Very delicious.
And we also ate ochatsuke (dried plum with tea) and Naporitan (a type of spaghetti) like the old times, but we put in too much Tabasco (pepper) and it was really spicy (Laugh)
And how exactly was it like old times I have no idea! (Laugh)
Okay today let’s eat ramen like the old times (Laugh)
Okay let Koyama make it for me! (Laugh)


(Helen: PxRyo~~~~ . I'm giving up on the no food count. forget it.)

Konbachiwa (^o^)
Starting today we’re going to sing the new song!
I sang! It was surprisingly hard.
Iaa I’m looking forward to what sort of work it will turn out to be in the end.
Ma~ this time it’s the theme song of an anime.
‘One Piece.’
I like that manga very much! I usually go to the movie theater to see it!
Ah~ today is ‘Gachibaka’!
Tegoshi and Massu are in it so I must see it.
Ah~ of course I didn’t watch Koyama’s! (Laugh)
Kidding kidding, I properly taped it!
Tego is raising a dog. I first heard about it yesterday.
Next time I’m going to adore it. Tego wait for me!

Konbachiwa!
Today is recording for The Shonen Club.
This time we performed many songs that were revealed during the concert.
But it’s still very early until the airdate.
Look forward to it!
There were many fights! (Laugh) There are times like these, no?!
Even though up to now we corrected many wrong places, but I think from now on we should demonstrate some genuine details! (Laugh) So now it’s time for the live show!


The live has finished.
Iaa today was also dance dance!
I sweated a lot! (Laugh)
Lately I don’t know whether it’s because my metabolism is very good or something else, but it’s really hot!
These two days I once slept in only a tank top! (Laugh)
Attention: Everyone is a good kid so don’t imitate!


1/17
8:54pm


Konbachiwa!


Today is another day with nice weather.
It’s also the rare day that I have to write the draft for the NEWS Prime series!
On days like this I must write much much more than I usually write and it’s very hard work!
Can you understand my feelings? (Laugh)
Also I’m in the middle of exam period. Yeah! (Laugh)
I’m not sure why but today I was making dumplings!
To properly fold the wrap and not let it stick while pan-frying is very difficult! (Laugh)
Anyhow now is time for the important ‘pan-fry’ step.


1/16
7:27pm


Konbachiwa.


There should be no problems with today’s test.
The teacher is a very good person.
He wasn’t angry at all! (Laugh)
To another topic, I just ate gyuudon (beef rice)! A big bowl of it.
Come to think about it, I always ate gyuudon in 10th grade.


(Helen: no doubt with Toma?)


I miss it!
Right now I’m practicing while listening to NEWS’s new song.
We received the demo recently. It’s a song with big impact.
Not lacking!
It completely fits ‘One Piece’’s thene song!
So, I’m going to practice.


1/15
8:48pm


Konbachiwa.


Today’s weather is very strange!
It’s about time I start studying for tests!
So troublesome!
Yesterday everyone went to the magazine photo shoot and said a lot of funny jokes.
The set was covered with laughter from start to finish. Yeah~
Yesterday I rented a tennis court and played tennis!
Very difficult!
Because my friend is very good at tennis!
And I exploded right there because I hate losing! (Laugh)
Has everyone overcome things that you don’t like?
It will give you feelings of happiness, so please take on the challenge!


(Helen: perhaps a certain U-kun who’s one of the ‘Prince of Tennis’? LOL. btw watching Tenimyu holds another meaning because I know Umipig could be in the audience. he’s definitely gone to see it. No Food #10)

Konbachiwa (o^o^o)


Ah~ today I’m eating rice with this kimchee!
By the way, the kimchee is made by Jin Mama!
It rained today!
Even though I dislike the rain, lately I’ve been trying to be positive and search for the good points to raining!
First is wearing a raincoat!
You never wear it! (Laugh)
Next is wearing boots! (Laugh)
You don’t wear this either! (Laugh)
Thus speaking, the rain is wonderful! (Laugh)
Because the rain nourished the fields and we can eat delicious rice!
The same goes for water!
If there were no rain nothing will survive.
It’s surprisingly easy to like the things that you didn’t like before!
I’ve seen many things lately!
Before I really can’t stand raining, but after finding out its good points I don’t hate it anymore!
I think people are like this.
I’m the type of stubborn person who will never mention people I dislike. I cannot flatter him or joke around with him. But after learning his good points, I won’t dislike him as much!
But immediately liking the person is still hard to do.
If there were no one that I dislike, everyday must be very happy!
A dirty heart will perhaps pollute the entire person.
If everyone searched for each other’s strengths, the world will become very peaceful!
Wars of course won’t start!
What can be gained by initiating a war? Nothing! (Laugh)
Okay~ I will plant my thinking, no, my buddies’ thinking, in this world!
Yeah! Starting tomorrow you guys start looking for the good points of people you dislike!


(Helen: i was somewhat surprised by this LONG and‘deep’ entry. Umipig went from meat and race cars to world peace. lol)


1/13
8:54pm


Konbachiwa (o^o^o)


Today is very cold! At times like these one should eat meat.
Therefore I went to eat barbecue with my buddy U-kun!
So declicious!
Even so, right now I’m watching the concert DVDs from a while ago.
I was sweating so much! (Laugh)
They were flying off like that~!
But it was very fun!
Also, yesterday I went to take a drive, which I haven’t done in a long time!
It felt like Shotoko Battle*! (* Play Station 2 racing game by Genki Co.)
Also the accelerator on the car isn’t deficient so it was really fun! (Laugh)
Cars are interesting!
It was absolutely great to get a license!
No doubt about it!
I’ve decided that if you’re a man, you should drive manually!


(Helen: Oh god YOU CHAUVINIST PIG, UMIPIG!!!!)


Of course I drive manually, but I haven’t done it in a while, so I was a bit uneasy!
It would be really embarrassing if the engine suddenly went out! (Laugh)
I have practice once in a while.


(Helen: Yuuuuu~! What's with all the exclamation points? and the streak stops at 4.)

Konbachiwa (^o^)


I went boxing yesterday.
My muscles hurt! (Laugh)
But exercising a little when your muscles hurt feels very good! (Laugh)
Ja~~ Exercising is the best!
I’ve already come of age~~
I’ve entered the adult world.
Yesterday my friends and I went to a New Year’s party and sang karaoke with great excitement.
Shuji and Akira also sang. (Laugh)
Also, it seems that we returned to No.1 again. Thank you very much everyone.
No matter how much I thank everyone it’s never enough.
Ma~ but I’ll still give back 3 times as much.


(Helen: Yeah honestly, Seishun Amigo is unbelievable. Still not out of the Oricon top 5. NO FOOD #9. OMDG.)


1/11
7:25pm


Konbachiwa (o^o^o)


Today I participated in Johnny’s Coming of Age ceremony!
I wore a hakama! (men’s formal skirt) My Coming of Age ceremony was in kimono style!
At first I thought of wearing a suit, but I felt since I’m Japanese I should wear a kimono so I quickly switched!
Today is also the witness Matsuoka-kun’s birthday. Thank you very much for coming! From the bottom of my heart!
Also many fans came to watch today and pada pada waved my uchiwa.
I was very happy.
Also I received the bow in the shrine today and said like a typical idol that I would use that bow to aim at the fans’ heart! (Laugh)
From now on a mature, manly, and sexy Yamashita is my goal! Yoroshiku! (Laugh)


(Helen: 6000 fans is really something. It’s double the number of people from the previous years. And to think the old man changed the date at the last minute. Sexy Umipig…not sure how I’ll feel if he really decides to go along that route. How is that different from KAT-TUN?? But then again, at this point, it’s about time NEWS has someone as a sex symbol. Every group needs one. Takuya is SMAP’s. I guess for now Umipig is the best choice for NEWS. Kusano might be up and coming in that area too. No Food #8. OMG.)

1/10
6:14pm


Konbachiwa (o^o^o)


Today no matter what I can’t successfully find something I want to wear.
I have to constantly look so there’s no time left.
So please don’t be mad that this is so short!
Looking forward to what I will finally pick! (Laugh)
So~ till tomorrow.


(Helen: No Food #7. omg.)


1/9
8:58pm


Konbachiwa (o^o^o)


Today’s is the coming of age day! Congratulations!
Spending exciting time with fans at the concert on such a joyous occasion, what a great day!
Tomorrow I will work hard at being excited!
But come to think of it, I’m always very excited.
Right now I’m coming back to Tokyo, but the muscles on my thighs hurt so much.


(Helen: How are those things related in any way?)


Yeah~
Today was very very exhilarating.
Thank you very much.
It’s great to see the smiles of the audience.
Therefore I’m very very happy!


(Helen: No Food #6)


1/8
8:32pm


Konbachiwa (o^o^o)


Last night everyone ate together while watching DVDs.
We watched SMAP-san’s concert live video.
In the video, the audience used the uchiwas to fan wind for SMAP. Osaka’s audience, please imitate and do so for us too. It’s very refreshing.
Thank you very much. (^o^)


Also, those who put 10 of my uchiwas from left to right like playing cards are very visible! Thank you. (^o^)


So, today starting now I’ll be watching DVDs again.
So I think I’ll call room service again.


Tomorrow I’ll perform in a high mood with full energy again!
So those who are going tomorrow, please drink some nutritional drinks to raise your energy. (^o^) (Laugh)


(Helen: I like my favorite people watching my other favorite people, lol. Does this count as no food? You know that the room service is for the omelet rice. -_- Fine, since you didn't say it directly, No Food #5)


1/7
5:50pm


Konbachiwa (o^o^o)


The concerts at Yokohama Arena ended yesterday.
But it’s been very fun. (^o^)


So after the concert ended yesterday Ryo-chan and I went directly to eat and talked about many things. (^o^)
So now we’re heading to Osaka. (^o^)


Tomorrow is Osaka’s Live. Even though we can’t make everyone laugh as Kanjani8 can, Osaka’s everyone, please still warmly welcome NEWS! (Laugh)


So let’s get excited together.


(Helen: Anyone who still denies the PxRyo rabu rabu, you must be blind.)

Konbachiwa (o^o^o)


Good morning. (^^)0
It’s morning right now. A little sleepy!
There’s rehearsal right now. (^o^)


Today’s lunch is chicken hamburger.
Yesterday’s was omuraisu (omelet rice),
but it was cooking the eggs right there like a catering service. (^o^)
My mood became very high! (Laugh)


Oh no! I’m hungry! Someone buy me something to eat! (Laugh)
My friends’ home cooking is always very delicious. (^o^)
It must be that it tastes better because I don’t eat it regularly.
But the most delicious of my friends’ home cooking is Akanishi’s.
When things have settled I’ll go eat it!
All private things again, sorry! (Laugh)


(Helen: No comment.)

8:59pm


Konbachiwa (o^o^o)


Yeah Yeah
Konbachiwa (o^o^o)
Yah, today I’m again completely fired up.
I’m very happy that V6’s Miyake-kun came to watch the concert today and gave me clothes. (^o^)


Also, my best friend U-kun came too. (^o^)
Yah, but friends coming is a little embarrassing! Then don’t tell them to come?! (Laugh)
Correct.


Okay, tomorrow Ganbatte Ikimashoi!


(Helen: Can the reference to Ryotaro be any more obvious?)


Tomorrow’s concert is the last one at Yokohama. (^o^)
I’m looking forward to it!
I want to do something great!
Those who are coming tomorrow please be excited too.


(Helen: Now that I've watched Tenimyu (Bendie, *muah*) I'm gonna be excited every time U-kun makes an appearance. Thank heavens Umipig was able to meet Yuu in high school. Before then he was just a little brat who liked to go against everything his mom said. Yuu changed a lot of things, among those Umipig's rebelliousness. No Food #4)

Konbachiwa. (^o^)
I must thank the people who came to the concert yesterday.
Yesterday I took a picture of the audience and said I was going to put it in today’s entry but I didn’t do so.
It’s something of an adult reason.
Someday I'll break all these weird rules! (Laugh)
To those who were looking forward to it, I’m sorry.
I'll definitely make up for it.
But the live was really fun. I had almost 3 liters of sweat! (Laugh)
Tomorrow is Ryo-chan’s Solo Live!
Fighto, Ryotaro! "Nickname from before." (Umipig’s own explanation.)


(Helen: RYOTARO. LOLLLL. that will be my name for Ryo from now on. u see? couples always have nicknames for each other. now tell us Toma's, Umipig. No Food #3. dear god i finally get to #3.)

Today it’s very noisy and lively at the concert. There’s not much time so I’ll just say 4 things!
Thank you to everyone who came to see the concert.
Thank you to the guys who came to the concert!
Thank you to those will come to the concert tomorrow.
Finally today’s curry at lunch was very delicious! (Laugh)
That’ s all! (^o^) (Laugh)


(Helen: I'm trying to imagine guys who would go to a NEWS concert. the images are not so good.)

I didn’t sleep on New Year’s Eve and went snowboarding in the morning!
Because I’m the most motivated! (Laugh)
I haven’t gone snow boarding in a while and it felt surprisingly good!
Don't say so myself! (Laugh)
Are there people who ate zouni....? (New Year dish; rice cakes cooked w/ vegetables)
I haven’t eaten it yet.
Yesterday I ate soba at Gelande’s cafeteria! (*Gelande - German for steep ski hill.)
It’s the New Year’s soba! (Laugh)
Afterwards, I went to the onsen (hot spring) nearby.
The kids there yelled “Akira! Akira!” when they saw me. “Continue with ‘Nobuta wo Produce’!”
Don't tell me this! (Laugh)
Just felt ‘Oh no! They’re going to see me naked on New Year’s!’ (Laugh)
But yesterday was a very fulfilling day.
Was everyone able to go home and rest?
Think about how to spend your lucky money.
Don’t read my diary on New Year’s and spend some quality time with your family!


(Helen: I'm jealous of those little kids. That's all.)

Good evening. (^o^)
Today I flew a kite and played with a gyroscope!
Just kidding.
Eh…this year please continue to support me.
I will work hard.
I want to be in more dramas.
I also want to go to the ocean many many times.


(Helen: See...Umi P is better than YamaP.)


Today I’ll be eating a lot of New Year’s dishes!
I like kurikinton! (mashed chestnut)
But I like Mr.Elephant more! Just kidding.
I like kurikinton more.


(Helen: Two days is a little too much for you, isn't it? I can't believe you were anorexic before. And you'd think you can talk more about what everyone wants to know - what did u, ur wife Toma and ur lover Ryo do after the Countdown??!!! But noooo, instead u give me mashed chestnut and Mr. Elephant. -_-)
