Today is pretty cold.

From now on it will become rapidly cold.


Let's pay attention to flu.

that's what I think in my mind.





Changing topic

If there's a number-withheld phone call I'm surprised *laughs*


Give me a notification!

that feeling


It doesn't happen very often. [NDT: めったに+いない; I don't know if he wrote wrong or meant really to use the verb いる for people instead of ある for things]


First of all, 186, please. *laughs*

2009.11.21 - Only Star
I'm not going to translate the entire article. He talks about work! But there are some interesting questions and....interesting answers.
Here we go.


My translation. DON'T RE-POST/TRANSLATE please. Linking it's fine. Thanx.

The interview starts with 7 questions about his solo concert and "Loveless". Here's the 8th one.

正直、山下さんには、情け（なさけ）ないとか、切ない男の印象（いんしょう）ってあまりないかも。いつもカッコ良くて、完璧なイメージがあるので。
山下　俺も、うまくいかないときはありますよ。ひとりで寝るときとか、たまに切なくなったりするし。理由はないけど、ふと来るんです。なんなんでしょうね、これは。特に冬は多いんです。冬は嫌いなぜいかな。
なんで嫌いなの？
山下　冬って、木とか、枯れる（かれる）し切ないし、淋しくなるでしょう。それって人間本能（ほんのう）だと思うんですよ。そう感じるようにできてるっていうか。だから、冬は恋愛したくなるんじゃないですか。

English translation:

Honestly, maybe there's not the impression for Yamashita san to be pity or things like a sad and painful man. Because your image is always cool and perfect.
Yamashita Me too, I have time when I'm not good. Like when I sleep alone, once in a while I become sad. There's no reason but it comes suddenly. How it is close on, that's it. However, in winter it [happens] a lot [of time]. Maybe it's because I hate winter.
Why do you hate it?
Yamashita In winter, trees die, it's sad and painful, maybe I become lonely. That's the human's instinct, I think. Be able to feel like that. So, in winter I want love, don't I?


Then, he aswers to other questions talking about dancing and music. This time he was asked about "Moon Light".

では、カップリングで山下さん作詞の『Moon Light』は、もしかして宇宙（うちゅう）繋がり（つながり）で出てきた曲？
山下　いや、これは月の光がバーとかに射し込んだら、綺麗だな、そこに素敵なお姉さんがいたらもっと綺麗だなっていう、勝手な妄想 （もうそう）から生まれた曲（笑）。曲詞がオシャレな感じで、そこから生まれたイメージなんだけど、最初に、始めのワンフレーズの<Let me tell the story>っていうのが浮かんできて、そこから広げていったんですよね。
<世界を敵にしても　守れそうな気がする>とか、女子にはグッと刺さるフレーズも多いですか。
山下　俺自身がそういう想いでいたいっていうのがあるから。俺、歌詞は女のコが関連してないと、書けないかもしれない。昔はそうじゃない曲も書いたけど、最近は女のコをイメージしたほうが絵が浮かびやすいんです。

English translation:

Well, by coupling, "Moon Light" which was written by Yamashita san, could it be a song which came from a connection with the Universe?
Yamashita No, that's a song born from an obsession I'm used to, like: if the light of the moon shines and illuminate bar etc, it's beautiful, if there is also a lovely sister [a woman] it is more beautiful *laughs* The lyrics has a smart feeling from which the image is born but, firstly, when the first sentence "Let me tell the story" came out [in my mind], from that [point the lyrics] spread out.
Are there a lot of sentences like "Even if the world is our enemy I have the feeling I can protect you", which stick vigorously into women?
Yamashita That's because myself had this kind of thought. Me, if the lyrics has no connection with a girl, maybe I can't write. In the past I've written songs which wasn't like that but recently an image of a girl is better, a picture is easier to come into mind.


Last note. He talks about manner, saying that they're really important in Japan and maybe if they disappear also Japan disappear; for instance, sitting in front of someone who is an higher level than you, you have to think well what to say and so on (rough translation). He concludes saying:

息子ができたら、厳しく教えるじゃないかな。

English translation:

If I have children, maybe I'll teach it them strictly.



NOTE: I'd like to translate this month "0409 - Seventeen Magazine" issue, title: FEELING; there's a part I'm extremely interested in but my scan is cutted. Can someone help me finding a better one? Thank you in advance.
