I'm long overdue for some Arashi translations! Here's one about Ohno's thoughts on the Kaibutsu-kun movie, how he'd spoil the other members, and Ohno+Nino making bouquets.

Long time no post! I'm the type to ambitiously pick up too many projects at once, and some inevitably fall behind.

Someone on tumblr post the complete history of Ohmiya exchanges on the Wink Up message board in Japanese, so I decided to translate it. I know many of these (if not all) have been translated here and there, but a lot of them were so-so or didn't have the full set all together, so I went ahead and did this for fun. If someone else already had the same idea and I missed it, I apologize. Arashi fandom is so huge these days, it's hard to keep track of.

I remember reading all of these from start to finish over the years, it makes me so nostalgic. It's too bad that Arashi doesn't get to participate much in the message boards anymore, but it's nice that Ohmiya were able to bring over three years of silliness to a cute close.

Anyways, enjoy! And as always, corrections and comments are always appreciated :)

These scans have been moved to the locked master post of pamphlet scans here. Anyone is free to join the community to get the scans :)

Japanese fans have started up a petition to create a memorial book for CxDxG no Arashi and Arashi no Shukudai-kun as a way to show our appreciation to the staff for all their years of dedication and to Arashi for the entertainment they brought through these late night shows. The book would also be a way for fans to look back fondly on 8 years of Arashi's variety shows.

I've translated the information from the petition's creator, and instructions on how to vote. Please read if you're interested in helping out!

For those of you that follow this community for the translations, I'm sorry I haven't done any in a while! I really want to get back to them as soon as I can, but I haven't had the time in a while =/

For today, here's scans from a super old magazine called Mannish. For now, I've only scanned the Arashi section and the pages on Gakibara Teikoku, but I'll go back and do the rest later.

I'm offering my services as a translator through help_haiti. My thread is here for anyone interested.

Thank you :)

Here's another one! This is the last set of scans I have for 2004, so I might do a few from different years until I get more scans for 2004 :)

This month we have Ohno and Sho doing some silly flirting, Dots interrupting Tackey, Nagase obsessing over Tegoshi, Okada looking out for Nino, Koyama yelling at Aiba, and more.

These scans can now be found at the locked master post for all FC pamphlet scans, here. Anyone is free to join the community in order to see the scans :)

Sorry it's been so long since I've done one of these! I'll try not to get so behind in the future.

This month, look forward to things like Akiyama's fights with jellyfish, MatsuJun's childhood accident (wtf), Nino being silly, Tegoshi being kind of bratty, and Maruyama's crazy parents.
