flytotheworldThere is a blizzard keeping me inside this weekend, preventing me from going to hang out with my friends at the bar and watch our uni's rivalry game. But it's probably better that I'm productive instead of inebriated for one weekend. So here, have a translation that I've had sitting around for months.
Arashi Special Interview : First Concert 2006 in Seoul
Aiba Masaki:
It's like... it's kinda like... we were all so burnt out at the encore and we were wondering if the fans would call out for us. I was really moved that they did. It was like... powerful. Until the end of the very end. I was really moved. And like ... I felt like I didn't want it to end. Even though it did. So, I want to come again! Even on my own time! (laughs) Maaan, but you know, even though Japan and Taiwan are different, when you think about Korean fans, they're definitely different, huh? On opening day, when we came out, did we reach our limit? So I thought I should get my tension up and felt like I should be jumpin around (laughs). But with that, too, I really felt the fans' power and passion. When we took the stage and they were calling out "Arashi!"... I felt like I was gonna lose it! So that's why I got super fired up and was jumping around. So instead of being just humbled by their support, I felt like it hit me all at once (laughs). Y'know, I was like, they really had a ton of power, so we also can't lose!, and it was so much fun! The atmosphere in every country is different, but we really felt everyone's feelings. And like... I was really glad we we could finally do this. Even if I can only think that like, "all these people are here to support us!," it was still a really good experience. I think so. I want to come again! Everyone did a great job!!
Matsumoto Jun:
G'job! It's over, huh. Maaan, it really is the end, huh (laughs). Yeaaah, it was fun. Really, really fun. It was great ... I think Arashi is really great. It was a really fun concert. The fans were great, too ... Man~ I wanna have this kind of concert in Japan. I wanna keep this going, but I don't think we can get better than this. This is probably the best we'll ever have. Yeah.... and having said that, the next stage is really beginning, in my heart. When we did our concert in Taiwan, I got this kind of new feeling, like we'd already entered this new point in time, y'know? So, this was only our first concert in Seoul ... what I mean by that is, it was really great, wasn't it? Going in this direction is good, I think. Maaaan~ it's like we're really stepping up, isn't it? I feel like we're climbing up some stairs. Like I'll never forget the scenery I've seen today ... I think. I think we can do it. This is really an amazing job. I think it would be really neat if we could do this kind of thing again in Japan. It was reaaaallly great. We really have a lot of potential, within us, unfortunately (laughs). Everyone's power tonight was really amazing, but I feel like we've got the called victory1 (laughs). Maaaaan~ but it was great. Good work, everyone. There's not a whole lot left to say. My voice won't come out (laughs).
Ninomiya Kazunari:
Nice work, everybody! Like ... everyone's voices during the encore were so amazing, I thought it would never end. Man, but ... it was fun. It was so much freakin fun! But seriously, I was like, "is it gonna end?" (laughs). With these performances in Korea already completely over, I'm thinking ... what AM I thinking? It's sort of heart-pounding? I think the fans' hearts are pounding like that, too. It was like there weren't any seats... it was like we were all moving together as one. Yeah, that's how I feel. In my mind, you mean? Yeah, it was really awesome. I was really watching everybody move like that, that's how I feel. Of course, that's how it is. They also didn't give up when it got super hot. So that's why, it's not necessarily how it is on the face of things, but it really took a lot of power, yeah? After that, they screamed2. In the intro of the song, in the interlude, the voices that rose out were... In the middle of the interlude, right?, the call-and-responses were awesome ... that was the first time that happened. There was this, like, "It is seriously that song!?" kind of feeling, so they started calling out "Arashi!" Even then, though, they were reacting to each and every song, so I'm pretty happy. Yeah ... that made me happy, Grandpa (laughs). It was really our first concert. I was super psyched.
Ohno Satoshi:
There were so many people crying! And when I saw all them crying... I thought I was gonna start crying, too. I really felt it -- that everyone had been waiting for us; I felt their passion. It was crazy when they called out "Satoshi!" It was like painting a picture. It was like a curtain call, with my picture hung up on the left side there. I was surprised that they do that kinda thing here in Korea. They're a really passionate country, huh. It's an amazing feeling. When we were right up there by the audience, I wanted to touch their hands and stuff, but I was sorta worried to. Like, if I touched one person's hand, they'd all be like "OMG!" and then someone would get hurt. That's why, even if I want to touch people's hands, I'm sort of scared to because I don't want anyone to get hurt, so I ... don't really do it. Seriously, though... seeing all those people crying? That was tough. They were happy, but it was sort of like, sad and lonely almost. Would it be cool if I cried, too? No, no, no, I'm 26! I shouldn't cry! (laughs) You know, I did an awesome job of speaking in Korean today (laughs) I could probably master it! Korean's really neat, so I think I want to master it after this! It's really super neat. I totally want to. But for the time being, anyway, I'm really glad everything went well! Good work, everyone! Kamsahamnida!3 Chonbekusamunida!4
Sakurai Sho:
"Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi" at the end there was nuts. I'm so grateful to everyone! Hearing everyone, seeing everyone, it was like it was in Taiwam, but when the Korean fans get excited, they get really excited. It was totally different. Like, they make concerts fun, but they almost make them too fun (laughs). They're really intense fans. Way more intense than we are! Almost to the point of knocking us over, sort of. With their whole souls (laughs). They have so much power. It's embarassing for me but that's how they show their affection here in Korea. The "NEWS ZERO" staff here asked me before we came, "when were you all first acknowledged as Arashi?" And I said, "No, it wasn't like that. They'd say to us, 'hey, so-and-so, you'll be debuting next,' and then we'd get all excited." Isn't that the same as in Japan? And even in spite of our similar points of view, that doesn't mean we don't want to come back again. They've really waited for us. That takes strength. We're being acknowledged by getting asked to come here. That's why I'm really glad we came. It was so much fun!! Good work, y'all!
. notes .
1. Like in baseball, if a game is called for rain and they declare a winner.
2. Screaming here meaning the screaming you do when you go buckwild at a concert or call-and-response.
3. "Thank you" in Korean.
4.I hve no idea what this is, my Korean friends never taught me it. I have no idea if I'm even romanizing it right. "Good to meet you" in Korean. Thanks, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Date: 2010-11-20 10:41 pm (UTC)I'd love to see Ohno learning korean some time xD
korean fans can be so crazy ^^; sometimes it's scary
note 4, it's the korean pendant to 'hajimemashite', lit. 'seeing you for the first time'. I suck at romanization, but it probably would look like 'cheoeumboebgessseumnida' that looks strange :|
