小栗旬會山田優遭跟拍 坦承戀情ing
 更新日期:2008/05/11 04:09
日本新生代天王小栗旬和山田優的戀情備受關注，他前天出席「橋田賞」頒獎典禮，領取最佳新人獎，被問到戀情，原本帶著笑意的他，瞬間沉默不語，一臉不耐煩的快步下台，使會場氣氛尷尬，而前天出刊的娛樂週刊「Friday」則是拍到他們5月4日時趁著工作空檔，同遊廣島的親密模樣，媒體揣測，2人是在得知約會遭跟拍之後，才會趕緊主動坦承交往。
另一方面，與小栗旬同屬新生代男星的森山未來與女星淺見麗奈的戀情也穩定發展，他們去年因為一起演出舞台劇「血的婚禮」而結緣，「週刊女性」報導，2人約會時相當大方，不僅牽手逛市區，還不時打鬧，引來路人側目。 （文林曉娟）

小栗旬大方公開戀情　山田優為愛學衝浪
 更新日期:2008/05/10 15:54 影劇中心綜合報導
小栗旬日前被爆和共同參與演出日劇「貧窮男子」的山田優假戲真做，他迷倒女星山田優，而她捨舊情人伊藤英明，移情別戀與他交往，小栗旬更大方坦承他們現正熱愛中！
小栗旬7日在自己主持的廣播節目中坦承，山田優的確是「重要的女朋友」，但這個宣言一出，讓女方的經紀公司緊張不已，直消毒說兩人只是「很好的朋友」。
小栗旬桃花不斷，只是過往的緋聞對象，他從來沒有親口承認過，像是與時尚雜誌名模田中美保以及女星香椎由宇，都和他傳出互動親密，但他始終不願公開談感情。去年與田中分手之後，感情空窗的他，巧合地先與山田優合作動畫電影「衝浪季節」的配音工作，2人相談甚歡。去年底時2人又再次碰頭攜手參與日劇「貧窮男子」的演出，劇組人員爆料，他們在拍戲現場無所不談，戲裡戲外默契都絕佳。
「日本體育報」指出，山田優向伊藤英明提出分手後，2個月前就和小栗旬陷入熱戀，並且有粉絲多次目擊他們在東京新宿及港區附近親密約會用餐的模樣。小栗旬在廣播節目上笑說，「我一個人登上整版報紙新聞，以後大概不會有了吧！實在值得紀念。」表示自己也衝到便利商店買了10份報紙來收藏。
雖然女方的經紀公司回應，雙方只是常一起外出用餐、購物的好友，但是除了小栗旬本人都親口認了這戀情外，山田優8日在自己的blog上也寫日記親自承認了。而小栗旬工作雖忙碌，但他目前正在休假到處衝浪，據悉，山田優也開始學衝浪，希望陪男友一起享受難得的悠閒時光，看來愛情的力量果然大過經紀公司的反對。

小栗旬認了山田優 報紙刊緋聞他買10份收藏
 更新日期:2008/05/09 04:33 
小栗旬大方公開戀情！他日前被爆出與合作《貧窮男子》的山田優假戲真作後，７日他在自己主持的深夜廣播節目中坦承對方是「重要的女朋友」，女方經紀公司緊張不已，消毒指兩人只是「很好的朋友」。
主持廣播親口吐真言
日前《日本體育報》報導小栗旬和女星山田優３月起開始交往，因未獲雙方經紀公司回應，連八卦網站都質疑這樁緋聞是炒作，不過小栗旬７日深夜在自己主持的《小栗旬All Night Nippon》節目中親口承認山田是「非常重要的女朋友」。
實話嚇壞女方經紀人
小栗旬７日晚間到達東京有樂町的「日本放送」廣播電台時，大批媒體在裡側的藝人出入口守候，他卻出人意表從正門突破防線，輕鬆進入電台。
節目一開始，他就笑稱：「我一個人登上整版報紙新聞，以後大概不會有了吧！實在值得紀念。」
小栗旬表示，他自己也衝到便利商店買了10份報紙收藏，「大家都在猜測，好像不說些什麼也不行了，山田小姐是我非常重要的girl friend（女朋友）。」山田優的經紀公司則回應表示，雙方只是常一起外出用餐、購物的好友。
黃金周假期甜蜜共度
小栗旬身邊友人則透露，雖然小栗旬工作忙碌，但他依然在剛結束的黃金周假期中，抽空和山田共度，兩人戀情甜蜜。

山田優移情別戀 甩伊藤抱小栗旬
 更新日期:2008/05/08 04:09
日本新生代天王小栗旬電力十足，迷倒女星山田優，她捨舊情人伊藤英明，移情別戀與他交往，2人更大方坦承他們現正熱愛中！
小栗旬桃花多 首次認戀情
在日本公信榜等雜誌的「理想男友」票選活動中，名次總是名列前茅的小栗旬，出道以來桃花多多，走紅之前與「早安少女組。」的前隊長矢口真里交往，她甚至不顧歌唱事業，為了他退出團體，但是，戀情最後無疾而終。
之後，他陸續與時尚雜誌名模田中美保以及女星香椎由宇傳出互動親密，但是，他始終不願公開談感情，去年與田中分手之後，感情空窗的他，巧合的先與山田優合作動畫電影「衝浪季節」的配音工作，2人相談甚歡。
因戲結緣 山田為愛學衝浪
小栗旬隨後邀山田優欣賞他主演的舞台劇「卡利古拉」，去年底時2人又再次碰頭攜手參與日劇「貧窮男子」的演出，劇組人員爆料，他們在拍戲現場無所不談，戲裡戲外默契都絕佳。
「日本體育報」指出，山田優向伊藤英明提出分手後，2個月前和小栗旬陷熱戀，有粉絲多次目擊他們在東京新宿以及港區附近親密約會用餐的模樣。
消息傳出後，小栗旬和山田優透過經紀公司坦承他們的確正在交往，目前他正在休假到處衝浪，據悉，山田優也開始學衝浪，希望陪男友一起享受難得的悠閒時光。

小栗旬新歡是名模山田優？ 日本媒體態度存疑
 更新日期:2008/05/07 16:49 影劇中心
日本人氣男星小栗旬口味多變，名模山田優也是他的菜！根據日本報紙「SPONICHI」報導，小栗旬和山田優正在交往，兩人是因為1月合作連續劇「貧窮男子」而產生好感，3月中開始交往，消息曝光後隨即引起日本各晨間八卦節目討論，由於該篇文章並沒有經紀公司或是本人的回應，均對此緋聞相當懷疑其真實性。
原本的緋聞對象是和他同年的模特兒田中美保，但卻突然傳出和同樣是模特兒出身的山田優交往，「貧乏男子」同戲演員八山島智人透露兩人因為合作這部戲更加縮短彼此的距離。報導中指出小栗旬和山田優在3月中旬曾在新宿現身，還和朋友約吃飯，根據和他們的好友表示，這對情侶不但個性很合，且血型都是O型，感覺起來似乎真的有這麼一回事，但經紀公司和藝人本身全無回應，似乎有炒作新聞之嫌疑。
星路順暢的小栗旬，去年開始在日本演藝圈大紅，還成為公信榜所調查的「最想成為男友男星」排行榜冠軍，去年夏天模特兒田中美保分手，山田優則是與男星伊藤英明破局，如果兩人真的湊在一塊，鐵定是新生代男女藝人中最大的情侶，至於是否真有交往，得靜待日本媒體的跟拍功力來證實了！

Oh, oh oooh~! Congrats, Shinohara-san!!

篠原涼子 喜迎兒子

《派遣女王》篠原涼子10日順利產子。她和59歲的老公市村正親結婚３年，終於誕下愛情結晶，她透過經紀公司對外透露母子均安，也感謝影迷一路以來的支持。
2005年12月，篠原宣布和大她24歲的市村結婚，震驚日本演藝圈，但兩人愛情堅貞，一路走來始終如一。去年11月，篠原宣布懷孕４個月將暫停工作待產，也獲不少影迷祝福。篠原在傳真中表示，她10日在東京醫院順利產子，雖比預產期早，幸而母子均安，她也透露，新添一名家庭成員，接下來會更加努力，但具體復出時間尚未確定。

Check the translations here.

as Yuko-san pointed out to me, "Tell Me Why? Take Me Faraway" seem to actually mean "tell me, why do you take me faraway?" (you know sometimes their English is plain weird). Carefully examining this song, it seemed to be some sort of a message from the dead to the living, like the guy who sang this song is actually dead and he's singing this to his living girlfriend (or the other way round?). Stay with me:

(first chorus)
Drawing up his memories - seems like his life has already ended and he's recalling EVERYTHING in his lifetime.
Yes no matter how many times he had wanted to tell her, he can only write them all in the last letter since he can't exactly speak to her anymore.
He asked the stillness which is forever rotating (and he is rotating with the stillness too, after he died)...
Tell me, why do you take me faraway from my lover?!

(bridge)
As he collects the lights to light up the life of his lover, he want to give the best to her
Always and forever (by her side)
The silhoutte of passion they once shared might be forgotten one day since he's already dead, but he doesn't want that

Maybe I'm just crazy, but this is the way I like to interprete this song. Just by the thought of it brings me too tears again.

Yes, it's my burpday today. Thanks for your wishes lovelies *muacks*

My Lyric Translations Index

Some people have been asking for this for quite some time. Sorry I'm late. Take Me Faraway piano/guitar chord guide is finally done.

As you people know, I am still stuck as a 3rd-Grader after I stopped learning piano for almost 8 years, my theory sucks like hell, I can't write any music sheets, nor do I know how to differentiate G7 from G (or any other 'weirder' chords). I play by ear and the only key I know well is C major/A minor, which, of course, is the easiest of all. So I figured that this is the best I can do to help, adding the chords on top of the lyrics to show when to change chords (though not quite accurately), but it just serves as a guide.

And this piece, is in C major/ A minor key, no surprise there. 'A min' is 'A minor chord', 'F maj' is 'F major chord', while those without 'maj' or 'min' are the ones which i think will sound better if you play that single note alone. You are, of course, encouraged to try out your own chords to improvise it. I made it into a picture, cause I'm afraid the chord placings will run if I copy from the word file and paste it here. Keep clicking on the picture until you come to a page where you see nothing else but the picture, no comment box no nothing, all except for the picture itself. So here it is.

*Oh here's a bonus^^; a piano rendition on Hana Yori Dango OST - Cloudy Noon. I like this song a lot, it really brings me back to the days when I laughed and cried with the characters lol. Dying to watch HYD Final!

Interview after recording HnA Episode One

―すごく楽しい収録でした！
松本：僕たちも楽しかったです！純粋に知らないことばかり盛りだくさんで。今日の収録だけで、3週間くらいネタには困りませんね（笑）
櫻井：規模も大きいことから身近なことまで・・・・・・。
松本：網羅してたよね！
相葉：今回の収録では、わりと”うわあ～”っていう大きな事が多かった。
二宮：ゲストの人たちの食いつきも良かったですね。
大野：ものすごく面白かった。タメになる番組だなって。
―It was really enjoyable recording!
Matsumoto(Jun): We enjoyed it too! There were plenty of things we never knew, honestly. Only for this recording, I didn't have any difficulties on what to talk for 3 weeks.
Sakurai(Sho): It covers things from large scales to the things which are familiar to us all....
Jun: Everything’s included!
Aiba: In this recording, there were quite a few big things that makes you go like "Uwa~".
Ninomiya(Nino): Guests adapted to the topics quite well too.
Ohno: It was extremely fun. I thought it is benifitial program.

―初回収録が終わって早速ですが、オリスタ読者から”嵐に調査して欲しい秘密”がたくさん寄せられています！
相葉：どれどれ。「なぜ右利きと左利きの人がいるのか？」（新潟県・18歳女性）。
櫻井：あ～、それ不思議なんだけど、僕は足が左利きで、手は右利きなんですよ。ニノは（手も足も）どっちも両利きなんだよね？
二宮：あっ、でも基本は食べる時は左で、書くのは右。
櫻井：どうしてなんだろうね～。
二宮：不思議だよね。
相葉：番組で解明できればいいよね。
松本：さて「一度使ったお札は、どんなところまで流れていくのか？」（山形県・16歳女性）という依頼。これは是非、リーダーに
検証してもらいたいですね。
大野：んっ、何？？？
松本：ある人がお金を払った時にもらうおつりのお札が、どういうふうに流れて行くのか追跡していく、という・・・・・・。
櫻井：何年くらいかかるのかな。
大野：やってみたいね。
松本：（お札が）同じところに戻ってきたりするのかな？
櫻井：あ～、それ面白いね。
二宮：ゴールがないだろうからね。
―This is right after finishing the first recording (for HnA), there are so many letters from readers of Oricon Style about "the secrets which they want Arashi to research"!
Aiba: Let me see. "Why is that a person is left-handed or right-handed?" (Niigata-ken/18yr/F)
Sho: Ah~, I’m wondering about it, because I'm left-footed and right-handed. Nino is ambidextrous, right?
Nino: Well, but basically I use left hand for eating and right hand for writing.
Sho: Why does it happen?
Nino: It is mysterious.
Aiba: Hopefully we can find out about it through the program.
Jun: The next request is "Where do all the used money go to?" (Yamagata-ken/16yr/F). I must ask Leader to verify it.
Ohno: Um? What???
Jun: When somebody paid money and received the note for change, youn wonder if the note is going anywhere and you track after it...
Sho: How long does it take.
Ohno: I want to try it.
Jun: Is it possible that the note will come back to where it was?
Sho: Ah~,it's interesting.
Nino: Maybe there is no end for it.

―もっと紹介したいのですが、嵐のみなさんへの質問も寄せられていますので。「”メンバーのここが謎”というところは？」（大阪府・16歳女性）
5人：うーん・・・・・・謎かあ～？
櫻井：そういえば今日、楽屋にあるクーラーボックスにチクワが入っていたんですよ。スタッフの人に用意していただいたのか、それとも
松本くんが持ってきて入れたのか？（一同爆笑）。
松本：あの・・・・・・。オレがコンビニに行って買ってきました。
二宮：なるほど～。
櫻井：びっくりした！（クーラーボックスを）開けたらチクワが入ってたから、ＴＢＳの方はチクワを用意してくれるのかなと思っちゃって（笑）
二宮：僕が開けた時には、既に1本食べられていましたからね～（笑）。
櫻井："松本くんの謎"ではなく、”クーラーボックスの謎”でしたね。
―I'd like to introduce more requests but there is also questions headed to Arashi.
"What it the mistery of member?" (Osakafu/16yr/F)
All: Umm......mystery~?
Sho: Well, today, there Chikuwa was something in the cooler-box at the dressing room. I was wondering, "was it the the staffs who prepared it" or "Matsumoto-kun brought it and keep it in there"? (all laugh)
Jun: Well....I went to the convinience store and bought it.
Nino: I seeee~.
Sho: I was surprised! When I opened the cooler-box, there was a chikuwa there, so I thought that it is normal that TBS staffs prepared chikuwa usually (laugh)
Nino: When I open it, one of the chikuwa was already eaten (laugh)
Sho: It is not "a mystery of Matsumoto-kun" but it is a "a mystery of cooler-box".

―松本さんはチクワがお好きなんですか？
5人：（大爆笑）
松本：（照れくさそうに）たまたま、タンパク質を採りたくてチクワを食べてました。だから、すごくチクワが好きなわけではないですよ（笑）
―Does Matsumoto-san likes a chikuwa?
All: (big laugh)
Jun: (self-consciously) it's just happened... I wanted to take protein, so I ate a chikuwa. So it is not that I really like Chikuwa (laugh)

―分かりました（笑）。では、メンバーの謎を・・・・・・。
松本：相葉君が海外に行くと必ずお土産を買ってきてくれるんだけど、なぜか必ず動物の描かれたＴシャツを買ってくるんです。この間、
僕も仕事で海外に行ってお土産を買おうと思った時に感じたんだけど、実は、動物が描かれたＴシャツを探すのって相当大変なはずなんだよ。
相葉：チョ～探して、空港とかでも買ってますよ！実際なかなかないよ。でも、あたかもそれしか売っていなかったかのように買ってくるの。
二宮：うん。お土産は謎ですね。いろいろ個性が出て。
―I see (laugh) Well, talk about a mystery of member....
Jun: Everytime Aiba-kun goes abroad, he always buy us a souvenir. I don't know why, but he always buys us a T-shirts with animal drawing. The other day, I went overseas for work too, and I felt it when I tried to buy a souvenir... actually it should be really hard to find a T-shirts with animal drawing.
Aiba: I REALLY look for those and I also buy them at the airport too! Actually they are rare, but I buy them and act as if these were the only ones on sale.
Nino: Yes. The souvenir is a mystery. It show different characters....

―では、次の質問です！「今までいちばん楽しかったロケは何ですか？」（東京都・15歳女性）
松本：やっぱり僕は『ＵＳＯ！？ジャパン』（01年4月～03年9月までＴＢＳ系で放送されていた嵐出演のバラエティ）での"心霊ロケ”ですね。
櫻井：あれは怖かったな～。
二宮：全然楽しくなかった。
相葉：もう二度とやりたくない（笑）。
櫻井：だって、青木ヶ原樹海のロケで最後の検証スポットまで行ったんですよ。すると、奥から光がみえてきて、一緒にいた心霊者の方が言うわけです。
「櫻井さん、相葉さん大変です！あと30分で魔界への扉が開きます」って（一同大爆笑）。"魔界か～！！魔界はマズイ”って、いまだに謎ですよ～（笑）。
二宮：そこは、この番組でも解明してほしいところではあるかもしれませんよ
櫻井："魔界への扉”を！？
松本：”ナゾ解明テレビ”ですからね。
相葉：分からないけど、そういうものもこれから出てくるかもしれないよね。
大野：（小さい声で）怖ぇ～。
二宮：大野さんは、楽しかったロケってあるんですか？
大野：やっぱり”ＵＳＯ”の心霊ロケで”髪の毛が伸びる人形”を検証したのね。
スピリチュアルカウンセラーの江原（啓之）さんとお仕事させていただいた時に言われたんだけど、その時の人形の手がひざに憑いていたっていうんだよね。
―So next question! "What is your most enjoyable filming trip?" (Tokyo/15yr/F)
Jun: I’m pretty sure for me that is a filming trip for a psychic phenomenon at "USO! Japan" (TBS Variety show by Arashi  4/01'~9/03').
Sho: That was really scary~
Nino: It wasn't fun at all.
Aiba: I will never do it again (laugh)
Sho: Because we went to verify a spot at the Sea of Trees in Aokigahara. Then the light came out from the depths, and the spiritualist who were there with us said "Now this is serious, Sakurai-san and Aiba-san! In 30 minutes, the door for a place full of demons will open" (all big laugh) saying "a place full of demons~!!A place full of demons is bad" and it is still a mystery (laugh)
Nino: It might be the thing this program(HnA) will require you to make it clear.
Sho: About "the door to the place full of demons"!?
Jun: Because it is a TV show to make a mystery clear.
Aiba: I'm not sure but maybe these topics will come out.
Ohno: ( in a low voice) scary~.
Nino: Have you had any enjoyable filmimg trip before, Ohno-san?
Ohno: I'm pretty sure I had... I verified "hair grow long doll" in the a filming trip for a psychic phenomenon at "USO". When I worked with the spiritual counselor, Ehara (Hiroyuki) told me that the hand of the doll was possessed to my knee.

―えっ～！！！
二宮：それが原因で、大野さんはずっと、ひざにコルセットみたいなサポーターをしながらライヴしていたんですね？
松本：そういえばしてたね、サポーター。
大野：5年くらい憑いてたらしい。
―Eeehhhhh~!!
Nino: Because of it, Ohno-san was wearing a corset-type knee supporter for a long time even while doing live concerts.
Jun: Now that you’ve mentioned it, I remember you were wearing a supporter.
Ohno: It was possessed for about 5years.

―すごいですね・・・・・・。
相葉：すごいよな～。
二宮：でも、良かったよね。
―It's incredible, isn't it....
Aiba: Yeah it is
Nino: But it was good to he found out about it

―大野さんのひざは治ったんですか？
大野：うん。結構長くかかったけど。
―Is Ohno-san's knee cured now?
Ohno: Yep, it took so long for it.

Denise: I have a hentai question for Arashi too (highlight to view):

So where do all the used sanitary pads go to?

Aaaah!! Don't hit me!!! I'm just being curious here! ^^;

一人でつぶやく　白い冬の朝

Murmuring to myself in a white winter’s morn

I watched this stupid drama called "放羊的星星" and heard this stupid song called "我們的紀念" by 李雅薇, and now I can't stop thinking about it!!! I searched and searched, finally found the song on the net.

李雅薇 - 我們的紀念

數不盡的淚 我又哭了好幾回
Uncountable tears, I've cried over and over again for endless times
幻化成蝶 停留在這片落葉
Transforming into a butterfly, stopping on this fallen leaf
被風化的雪 埋藏在千年以前
The snow which is becoming wind-ish, was buried in the past like a thousand years ago
我用盡一生的思念 只為等著你出現
I've used up my whole life thinking of you, just to wait for your appearance
 
回憶 漸漸凋謝落在我身邊
Memories, falling gradually beside me
喚不醒原來還跳動的畫面
I can't wake the scenes which had once been moving
 
就讓我留在輪迴的邊緣 等一道光線
So let me stay at the edge of breaking down to wait for a beam of light
看見某年某月我們之間 曾經說過的預言
Where I can see the prophecies we spoke of on that certain day
就讓它帶走你的那瞬間 成為我們的紀念
So let it take away that one moment of yours to let it become our memory
誰能發現我的世界 曾經有過你的臉 
Who'd ever realize that your face had once existed in my world?

The last line just had me. *Waaaaaa!!!!!*.
