FCHAN'S 「KAT-TUN TRANSLATIONS」

2021/4/27 18:00 Normal letters  N: I'll read the email. L: What's your favorite light bulb color? N: Eh, you're interested in that? Well, a calm color is best. One that has warmth. Not orange, more like the LED in high school. I don't want to use it at home though, it is tiring on the eyes. By the way, even on-site and dressing room, for example, I turn off the lights as much as possible. By turn off I mean I turn half of the lights off. I want to make it as dark as possible. Electrical light is tiring. Also, Johnny-san taught me that the light in a stars' dressing room seems to be dark. Something like [does Johnny-san voice] "a star can't be too bright". It disappears in the night. It's also more relaxing. Relaxing for me it's at home. Everyone, please be careful, lights can be surprisingly tiring. I recommend a calm color. You must be tired today, so relax and have a good night. Good night. 

 2021/4/25 18:00 Normal letters N: I'll read normal letters. L: Which noodles do you like: udon, soba, ramen, or pasta?  N: Noodles are good, aren't they? They're all delicious, it's difficult to choose. I like all. But if I had to choose one instinctively... Ramen? Maybe ramen. Especially on cold days, the slurping of the noodles and the warm soup, it's easy to eat. It's casual. There are also many varieties. So maybe ramen? I eat it often.  L: What fruits do you want to eat now? When do you spend more time eating fruits? N: Many about food today. At present it's strawberry. I have it in the fridge. I have usually eaten it with breakfast. I've also eaten it after dinner. But basically, I eat it in the morning. 

 2021/4/24 18:00 Normal letters N: Hello. I'll read the mail. L: Hello. I see you wearing flashy shirts' pattern as a stage costume, are your normal clothes also with a flashy pattern? N: No, I don't have any flashy patterns. My normal clothes are all basically black and plain. A bit too plain, so my closet looks pitch black. I want to intentionally add some lighter colours rather than some accent colours, but I don't have flashy shirts.  L: During furlough I was really into anime which I hadn't watch before. Have you gotten into something for the first time?  N: Anime... That's true, I've spent more time at home. I can watch videos and drama streams online... There's cases when the drama aired on TV continues to the stream. I didn't use to watch dramas, but I'm watching them a bit now. Until next time!

 2021/4/22 18:00 Normal letters N: Hi. I'll read the email. L: I'm very shy and can't introduce myself well, so my first impression is always awful. How can I make a good impression, even just a little bit?  N: Is there a reason to think that way? Not being able to introduce yourself at all... It's best to just smile. Ins't that okay, it may work. I can't do it thought. Even if the first impression is bad, if you talk, they'll realise what you're like. Isn't it best not to think too much? What are you doing to be so bad at it? It's rare for the first impression to be the worst. After that it's important to have a conversation. If even after talking the impression doesn't change, then you can't do anything about it. I don't have enough information, so I can't advise much, so just smile. You can expect a little effect. Hmm. Ganbatte. Until next time.

 2021/4/20 18:00 Normal letters N: How have you been? I'll read the emails. L: I was moved to a different department in March, and many things are new, so I've almost physically and mentally given up. How do you overcome the feeling of giving up?  N: I see, it's a difficult situation. I wonder what I do. I might stop thinking too deeply about it before giving up. There are many things that you can't change with your individual power, right? In that case, thinking too much is in vain, so I think when you're in that situation it's best to be optimistic. If you think that it doesn't affect your life if the work result is 80%, you won't get stress. Well, be optimistic. When it can't be helped, you have to deal with stress, just get rid of it by doing different things. In my case, I play games. And talk to people. Going out for a meal and such. I think that's important. You have to find the balance. Ganbatte. See you next time.

 2021/4/18 18:00 Normal letters N: Hi. I'll read the emails. L: This year I enter the third year of junior high school. What did you do when you were in junior high? N: During the third year of junior high... I enjoyed! Thinking about it now, that third year was probably the most fun time. Everyday was so much fun that everyday I wished the day would last forever. I wonder why it was so much fun. I have no idea. I didn't do anything special. Just talking with friends, playing football, but somehow it was fun. And it was around that time, the last three months of the 3rd year, that I applied to Johnny's. I applied, auditioned and by the time I entered Johnny's the year was about finished. So I really did enjoy a lot that year, even though I didn't do anything. Football was fun. I played football before entering Johnny's, also during elementary school as well, and J-league had started too. Back home... Ah, this is getting long. Sorry, until next time.

 2021/4/17 21:00 Normal letters N: Hi. I'll read the emails. L: Hello. During the Ignite MC, Ueda talked about how he cannot sleep unless the room is completely dark. What do you do about lighting in the room when you sleep? What is the thing you must do otherwise you won't sleep? Please tell me. N: I also turn off the lights. I don't think there's anything I must do in order to sleep. Hmm, it's not like I won't be able to sleep if I don't do it, but I fall asleep faster while watching Youtube. Especial videos about the origin of the universe. When I watch a video with that sort of extraordinary content, I fall asleep within seconds. The narrators' voice in those videos it's really nice. A low voice. I fall sound asleep. How the Earth was thousands of years ago, it makes you sleep, doesn't it? I recommend it to everyone, give it a go when you feel like you can't sleep. I really, really, really, fall asleep within 30 seconds. Until next time.

 2021/4/15 18:00 Normal letters N: Hi. I'll read the emails. L: Job hunting season has started but I'm bad at interviews, so I'm not confident that I can become a member of society. Nakamaru-kun always makes the right comments on Shuuichi, how do you do it?  N: Job interviews... But me too, I have never been to that sort of interviews, I can only talk from the image I have of it. In terms of image, something like fixed phrases may look good, but I think things come together if you were to change the way you speak. As an image, surprisingly, if you make humane comments, even if you don't line up beautiful words, they'll probably say "ah, I see". I'd go with that. Rather than deciding to say nice words or trying to be a wonderful person, I think it would be nice if they thought something like "this person looks interesting". I keep that in mind in order to not overstretch myself too much on Shuuichi. Well, it's obvious, isn't it? I don...

 2021/4/13 18:00 Normal letters N: Right now, I'm drinking a grape flavoured fizzy drink. Good evening. I'll read the emails. L: On your day off, what is your loungewear when you are relaxing? N: It's fleece. It's almost time to wear shorts and T-shirt, but when I feel a little cold, fleece feels great on the skin. I wear top and bottom.  L: What's in front of you right now? N: The grape fizzy drink and the mic. What's right in front of my face is the mic. There's a 5cm gap in between. Then there's my laptop, pen tablet, etc. I always record in this room. Ah, you don't know the room. Sometimes I want to do video, not just audio, if I have the opportunity. Well, it's time to sleep. Good night. 

 2021/4/10 18:00 Normal Letters N: Good evening. I'll read normal emails. L: Good evening, Nakamaru. How do you like to eat natto? Recently I'm addicted to natto with yuzu-pepper. I recommend it. N: Sounds really good. I eat natto just the normal way. Sometimes I feel like eating it. About 2 days ago, I was eating while watching TV, and they were showing natto recipes on TV. It looked really good, so I suddenly felt like eating natto. So I opened the fridge, but I didn't have any! I was so disappointed. I usually have it, so why didn't I have it right when I wanted to eat it!? I was pretty disappointed. Talking about it makes me want to it... Ah, I don't have any! I have to go to the super-market. Until next time. Good night.

 2021/4/8 18:00 Normal letters N: Hi. There's no theme. L: What are your little moments of happiness? N: I wonder. Little happiness, right? What is it? Going to work, coming back home, seating down on the sofa, look at what I've recorded, and drinking a fizzy drink. It's really nothing, but I feel really relaxed. Also when I get in the bath. I have a waterproof portable TV by the bathtub and watch YouTube.  L: He reads my messages and doesn't reply, is he not into me?  N: How cruel. But I can't really say he's not into you without knowing the whole situation. On the other hand, if it's often unread it may be some kind of message, it may be kindness. It's hard. I get it. But there isn't just that one person. Yeah, let's look ahead (move on and be positive). 'Till next time.

 2021/4/6 21:00 Normal letters N: Hi. Today there's no theme, I'll read the letters. L: I became an adult the other day. Is it fun being an adult? N: Congratulations. Yeah, it's fun being an adult. Because you can do as you please. Students in compulsory education have a lot of things to do, so they don't have much time for themselves. That may be true for the rest of society as well though, I haven't really thought about it. Maybe something like the range of actions changes? There's responsibility, but you can do anything. If it is within the range of responsibility and rules and such, you are free to do as you please. You can do things you are interested in. It's fun. L: I still haven't shown my real self to my boyfriend. What should I do to show myself as I am and become myself around him? N: Eh, but if you want to think that way, maybe you have to make the move a little. I wonder why you can't. Even if you do it little by little unconsciously, it...

 2021/4/4 18:00 Notice N: Hello everyone. I have a notification. From April 19 starts our new TV show on Fuji TV "Nani suru KAT-TUN". Thank you. This will be a regular once a month show. This is KAT-TUN's first regular show on Fuji TV. I'm looking forward to it. Perhaps because it is once a month, we can prepare quite a lot and do all sorts of elaborate things. We'll discuss it with the staff. It's just what the title says, KAT-TUN will do all sorts of things. Digging more into the 15th anniversary. And at the end of the show we will perform a song, but not just singing in the usual way, it will be special. It will be an intense show. So please watch "Nani suru KAT-TUN" from April 19. Today is only this information. See you. 

 2021/4/3 16:00 This month's theme N: Good evening, this is Nakamaru. It's April, isn't it. R: It's getting really warm. The 15th anniversary live has also begun... Today is the Miyagi performance. N: Yeah. Well, Nakamaru's Page is looking for questions to be sent to the Yomu Radio to be read this month too. R: What's April's theme? There was no theme in March. N: This month, we will go with "new employee surprise episodes" and "weird school rules"! R: Oh! Two themes to compensate for last month! It's very April mood. It can be an episode from when you were a new employee or even what you felt as a senior. N: Yeah. Any rules you think about... anything. Of course, everyday casual topics #normalletters as well. R: Other than the theme, please consult with us about your worries with #yomuradiountilmorning #morningradio like always.  N: The period starts from every month from 18:00 on the 1st till 18:00 on the 8th! We hope for many parti...

 2021/4/1 18:00 Normal letters N: Hello everyone. Today there's no theme, I'll read the emails. L: You said before that your favourite sweets is mille crepe, is your favourite still mille crepe? N: It's difficult to rank it, but I do like mille crepe, it's delicious. Then, tart cakes are also nice. Aren't the tarts with seasonal fruits, delicious? At the moment it's probably strawberry tarts. Isn't the tart dough, the hard part, really good? Well, recently there's really so many types of sweets. But yeah, I have a sweet tooth, I love sweets.   L: You often say "what do you mean". I'm sure it's a habit. What do you think? N: It may be a habit. If I didn't hear something properly, I want to make sure I understand the meaning, so I'll ask "what do you mean". Well, a habit is a habit. The time is over. Until next time.

 2021/3/30 22:00 Normal letters N: Hello everyone. At last, it has been decided that I'll be a regular in Masuda's show, on a real radio. I'm looking forward to it. So far, I've recorded the intro twice, but I would like to get used to it as soon as possible. I will continue this Yomu Radio, but please also listen to the real radio. Today, I'll read the emails gathered from March, or was it February? There's no theme. L: What would you like to try next? N: Well, I've talked about it many times, but for now it's manga. Until recently, I've drawn things about hygiene, but after finishing that, next I want to draw an original story. But it's quite difficult to think of an original. Currently there's various things, but if those contents become more concrete, I'll draw it. That's why it's probably manga. I want to make it somehow. Sorry. See you.

2021/3/28 18:00 Normal letters N: Hello everyone. This time, I'll introduce normal emails. L: You have such beautiful hands, I'm always thinking how beautiful they are. Do you do any hand care? I'm troubled because my hands easily get rough. N: I don't really do anything. I touch water, doing the washing up and cleaning. But I do that one thing. I put on hand cream, especially in the winter. Not everyday though. Then, after taking a bath, I put on lotion so I put in on my fingers as well. Please try it. L: What do you like in sashimi? I like sawara tataki sashimi (mackerel).  N: I like all sashimi! All fish. Half year ago, I went on location, what was it? It was called the legendary fish... Kue (longtooth grouper)! That was so good. I was surprised. Until next time. 

 2021/3/27 18:00 Normal letters N: Hello. I'll introduce normal emails. L: Have you cried recently? I have cried almost everyday since 2021 started. While watching TV, I'll be moved, or frustrated, or lonely and cry. I cry at every little thing. Is it because in these circumstances there's less interaction with people?  N: Crying everyday is a bit too much. That means you have become a lot more sensitive. Crying while watching TV... it doesn't really happen to me. But for example, when I hear something moving or sad, of course I might feel like crying, but then I'll get puffy eyes. I don't cross the line when tears seem to be about to come out. But my heart is moved. Yeah, it's true, the interaction between people has decreased since last year. I'm not sure about variety programs, but consciously, I'd like for the number of fun things and stuff like that to forcibly increase. I want to do fun things. The things I'm able to do may be limited thoug...

 2021/3/25 18:00 Normal letters N: Hello everyone. Today I would like to read normal letters as well. L: What is your favourite variety of mochi? I like the sticky ones in the ozoni, and the ones made of zunda and ginger.  N: Eh, what is ginger mochi? Sounds good. I like zunda, I quite like zunda, it's so good. I love it. In mochi I like kinako. I make and eat it at home sometimes. Then, I also like daikon oroshi. I have never made it at home, but if it's available to buy somewhere, I choose it. It's really good.  L: Do you ever think you're like a child? When it snows, I always make a snowman, and I end up thinking I'm just like a child. N: What could it be. I basically do this kind of work, right? I have to have a young heart. I think it's always best to have it. I also make snowmans, you have to, don't you? But living in Tokyo, I don't really get to experience that amount of snow, well, it can't be helped.  See you next time.

 2020/3/23 18:00 Normal letters N: Hello everyone. Today is normal emails. L: Speaking of winter, I have the image of tangerines by the kotatsu table. Is Nakamaru-kun particular about how to peel tangerines? I always take off the skin in one block (?), but sometimes people get surprised because it is rare.  N: There's a name for this way of peeling tangerines. What is it? I can't remember it. The way to peel... I do it in half. I start by opening it into two halves, and eat it. I ate them this winter too, in January. I ate lots of tangerines.  L: Is there something you always have in your fridge? N: Sparkling water... Yeah, carbonated drinks. With grape flavour, normal cider, etc. I definitely have those. I drink it after having a bath. It's really good. See you next time.
