I'm judging you.

Was going through some oooollllld *pnish* archives to update OneStepBack, and found some...curious entries from the likes of Tuti and Daiki XDDDD

Tuti (from February 7, 2004)

[...] Afterwards, some friends threw me a party. I got a birthday call from Nitty, and Kime-chan sent me this text asking, “So, what do you want as a present?”, so I responded, “Kime-chan.” I’d really hoped Takashi would be the first to text me, but all I got was a normal text later in the evening. Souta wound up being first.

Thanks, everyone.

(bolding just to help you focus on what's really important :D) He sounds so...disappointed XD; For the curious, the original Japanese was: "たかしからはフライングmail期待したんだけど、夕方普通にmailきた。"

Poor bb XD

Then, Daiki gave us this (from February 13, 2004 -- when Eiji and Daiki did a street live just the two of them):

Thanks so much for coming to our Sun Street live even though it’s cold~~!!! How’d you all like the PaniPair’s secret live?? We did some dances from previous year-end events, talked about Valentine’s Day some, mmm--I was really nervous!  But it was kind of exciting being up there alone with Eiji!

...Ship them or not, it's kinda hard to ignore Daiki's raging man-crush on Eiji :P At least way back then he didn't try and hide it at aaaaalllll XD Not that they do much better now, but still :P And yes, they DID name themselves "PaniPair" XD (rather "パニ2") Better than Santies, at least, IMHO.

So, a while back hitome_bore and I got it into our heads that there was something super special about Nagayan's song Kotoba Kara (especially given that it's the song Tuti played at That Panisuta), and after much deliberation, we realized that the lyrics didn't sound like anything Nagayan would write at all...but rather sounded like Tuti himself speaking.

Yes, we thought Tuti wrote the song, and Nagayan sang it.

Three years after I originally translated the thing, I've retranslated it, and...

I feel even more strongly about it now 8D

( Keep in mind that Tuti's not the touchy-feely share-your-feelings-with-your-boyfriend type... )

Or really, THIS counts as studying!

I meant to, back when we went to SXSW, translate some of my favorite HY songs, because they're such love. As it is, I can't go to sleep, so I got lyrics for Anata - You (which you can download there) and translated them.

Because, yeah. My favorite song of theirs. ( Mwah, have lyrics and a translation. )

Tuti...just...come on, take one step forward. One more, come on out of that closet. We know about the thing you've got with Nagayan now, no more need for pretense. Come on.

Ok people, brace yourselves. This is gonna be a shock to the system in more ways than one. *shivers* I can still feel the TINGLES *_________*

So, yesterday, Mitsuru went to T.T.T. YAY! What sorts of wonderful things did she pick up on, I wonder? Oh nothing big, just...

TUTI SANG DEPEND ON ME

IN THAT NEW BEAUTIFUL VOICE OF HIS. HE SANG HIS LOVE SONG TO KikumaruNAGAYAN.

"And now I'll be singing a solo from one of the numbers I've sung in musicals I've performed in up to now..."

Shinjitsu no Yukue? Maybe...Hona Sainara? I dunno... I DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE IMAGINED DEPEND ON ME IN MY WILDEST DREAMS, THOUGH.

But nonono, noooo, guess what: IT GETS BETTER. Not for Mitsuru, though, this next part? Happened today, during senshuuraku. Mitsuru couldn't go because of work, but she says she's been getting emails and text messages from her TxN compadres all day, to the tune of a TxN bomb being dropped :DDDDDDD

「多くを語らなくても通じ合える」

"We don't even have to say a lot, we just...understand each other."

WHAT.

WHAT.

WHAT THE. SDFSDJFHSBDJFBHSFHSDBFJSDHFKSJDHSD

TUTI, TUTI DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU JUST SAID?! THAT--THAT--*DEAD*

...Saitou is so gay. And he has good taste in men, too.

( Go check out the picture on his 4/30 entry *__________* )

Ameblo recently updated the profile page of its users (check out Tuti's here), and you'll soon be able to see what music they're listening to, photos they put up, responses to bboard entries, etc. For now, though, Tuti's added some more answer to his profile questions~!

( Tuti added more to his profile 8DDDDD )

...but no one ever complained about seeing old Tuti/Nagayan moments pop up on their flist. It's hard to believe, but it's been almost four years now since they met. We're 3 months and 3 days from that 4th anniversary now, wooohoooo~!!

( And on to the translations~!! )

I need something GOOD to head to Houston thinking about >_> I better have a good reward post when I come back...

Tuti's Post: Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day.
As expected there are couples all around town,
And the sight of people sending off the trains with loving smiles.
So I went to see Nekomaji [T/N: Apparently it's some older singing group--a trio of women all over 30 o_O] And they were singing love songs for once.
I like the title, 『A Valentine's Diversion』.

Recently I got a coffee mill, so I tried grinding some beans.
The smell was so strong I think I got a little drunk on it almost.
