Victory Pose¹
vol. 54

Hello.

Sakurai here.

Yesterday was our interview about our inaguration as the faces of Japan's sightseeing campaign. We were filming a PV.

From early morning, Aiba-kun was practicing earnestly his speech in Chinese.

He kept grumbling as he was lying on his back practicing it.

"Jing jiang rou si"²

"hui guo ro"²

and randomly interrupting me and meddling with the staff and stuff, while practicing with all his might.

Nino:

"Continuing on, we'll now hear Aiba's greetings."

Aiba:

"Yes! And now, I'd like to give my greetings in Chinese!"

That kind of simulation.

At the end of our greetings

"Xiang hui ba! (Let's meet!)"

and assuming this kind of victory pose while he said it.

"I'll do my best!"

Not like that kind of thing, but he's always doing this victory pose.

Seems like he's always doing that.

The next day:

Now it's time to meet with a reporter.

Aiba:

"Xiang hui ba! (Let's meet!)"

while doing the victory pose.

With such vigour...

Reporter:

"Whom in Arashi would be most able to show foreigners around?"

Sakurai:

"I think it's Aiba. With his body language, it seems like he'd get on well with them."

Aiba:

"Xiang hui ba! (Let's meet!)" <- victory pose

He kept doing that even when we did a group picture

Cameraman:

"Everyone! That... um... Aiba-kun"

Aiba:
"'Xiang hui ba!'?"

Cameraman:

"Yeah, yeah! If you would!"

Man...

It turns out that victory pose = jian hui ba!

Me, on the other hand

My speech in English went off without a hitch, but in the beginning

Sakurai:

"Official license... This recommendation...³ I'm happy to be able to serve as spokespeople for Japan tourism."

I screwed it up!!

The most important thing I had to say, and I screwed it up!!
I even surprised myself.
(Man, you screwed it up)

It was like that.

Please continue to support Arashi for a long time m(__)m

1. literally, "guts pose" :3 that's adorable to me for some reason
2. don't ask me to translate the chinese, it is way too damn early and I haven't studied it for like, 4 months. plus, everything is written in katakana so i can hardly figure out what it's supposed to be/if my romanization is even right to begin with without the hanzi :X
3. this is obviously him misspeaking. He meant to say "kankoku," which is either "Korea" or "recommendation" and instead said "kankyo," which means "official license/permit."

Thank you very much for translating and sharing ^^

Aiba-chan is really trying hard, ne and Sho-chan too.

that's ok Sho-chan everyone can havea mistake too. It's noteasy to saythings when it's not in your own language.

So.. Gambatte Arashi ^^

[glos10.livejournal.com]

ohhh this is interesting *_*
Mahauhuahu I can picture aiba practicing and simulating with nino... :DD
And OH they were filming the PV!^^!

thank you for translating :)

[sakuyaz.livejournal.com]

Lol..I think 'Jian Hui Ba' will be a new catch phrase!! XD Oh Aiba! ♥

And Gambatte Jun, Sho, and Aiba!! ^^ I don't think it matters but I went to Japan last year for you guys, I'm sure you will be able to make a lot of people go to Japan! Who wouldn't be attracted if they had adorkable presentatives to hang out with?! :D

[sakuyaz.livejournal.com]

Opps sorry.. and I meant *repesentatives

and Thank you very much for translating! ^^

[georgiaannaa.livejournal.com]

Jian hui ba! LOL! I can imagine Aiba saying this all day long~

Thank you for translate~ <3

[anoudegozaruna.livejournal.com]

Ah, so cute and funny! Thanks for translating!

The Chinese that Aiba was practicing are names of Chinese dishes. "Jing jiang rou si" is "Beijing-styled thin pork strips" and "hui guo rou" is "twice-cooked pork". Roughly, something like that.

[sociologique.livejournal.com]

Good to know! I like "oh don't do this to me, Sho, I had a hard enough time with pinyin and now I have to figure it out from katakana?! D;< "

[satommy.livejournal.com]

Awww Aiba-chan!!♥

[giddychan.livejournal.com]

ROFL that was great! thank you for translating and sharing!!

[kyoticle.livejournal.com]

i love how sho told the reporter that it would be aiba with his body language xDDDDD

thx for translating *_*

[mishiness.livejournal.com]

Aiba's such a cutie XD And Sho.. aww, it's okay!! But he beats himself a lot for making mistakes ne? I would think he's similar to Jun in that way.

Thanks so much for the translation!

[kyazne.livejournal.com]

LOL! Aiba kun is really kawaii ne, saying 'Jian hui ba!' like every three sec. It's one of the things I love about him. And Sho kun messing up kankoku for kankyo, that's just hillarious. I can totally imagine him doing that. Thank you so much for sharing!

[nlovers.livejournal.com]

that is so cute...i can imagine him doing that..

[lulumyu.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Aiba-chan is so cute :3
Major LOL at the fact that everyone attending the press conference mentioned Aiba-chan's mistake but didn't notice Sho's at all XD

[sociologique.livejournal.com]

I noticed that, too! Didn't Jun also screw up or something? Maybe Sho's was so minor that nobody really noticed? XD

thanks

[fau-zi.livejournal.com]

aibachan hyperup as always..shochan, it's ok u screwedup sometime...<3

[arashic0804.livejournal.com]

[nlovers.livejournal.com]

[heartsho.livejournal.com]

thank you for this!! Glad that Arashi is working so hard! I love hearing Sho's English :D

[hot-chocolat.livejournal.com]
