ReplyDeleteWow.
No doubting in values of every posts you make guys, but that one was definitelly one of the most epic ones.
ReplyDelete*¬*
ReplyDeleteOMG Acchan! <3
Hmmm...I wonder what happened to his pants?
ReplyDeleteDoki doki...Sakurai-san is made for the stage.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that! Oh my, Sakurai is so witty with sex :)
ReplyDeleteI got the Atsu-joke :D
And why was his eye red?
Regarding the one about Sakurai lamenting the fact that they can no longer fill the Tokyo Dome; I know that the band's popularity has dropped since their heyday in the 90s, but has their fanbase really shrunk so much that they can't fill up a stadium anymore? I mean, most of their singles and albums chart in the top 10, and they still pull off lengthy national tours... just seems like they should still be able to hold a show in a high-capacity venue every now and then.
ReplyDelete(though obviously I say this from the perspective of someone who isn't around to see how active their fanbase actually is over there, so feel free to lay a smackdown on me if I'm just completely offbase here)
Oh, poor Sakurai. His wife must have been away when he's on tour. :P
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous - As if he needs a wife for that.
ReplyDelete@ Ruki-chan - Nope, not at all.
ReplyDelete@ Lawrence - They aren't popular enough to sell out the Tokyo Dome anymore, the Dome holds 50000 people. They can sell out the Budoukan once a year but that's only 15000. If I'm not miss taken they didn't even manage to sell out Tokyo Dome City Hall. But I prefer them this way since arena concerts are worse than watching TV.
ReplyDelete@ Juli - I think his eye was red because he was a sex-crazed beast.
I honestly thought I had misheard the "Fuck me, Lady Skeleton" line. Glad to hear I wasn't imagining things.
ReplyDeleteHe'll get arrested if he keeps using that language in public, you know. I heard that can happen. /laughs
Ah, this is not the first time the "re-racking of balls" happened.
ReplyDelete@ Mawb - Hush, you'll start rumors that it's actually illegal to say "sex" in public in Japan!
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous - it wasn't even the first time it happened on this tour.
@Cayce So it's the case of "squished plums"? /loling
ReplyDeleteErrr the pants is so fitting then? XD
@ Mimi - Squished plums, readjusting how his shirt tucks into the pants, and readjusting the battery box for his wireless mic, would be my guess. And, the art of the tease. I think in this case the pants aren't quite tight enough...the red ones he was wearing on the last tour definitely had no room in them for slippage. Also he could never have put his hand down them the way he put his hand down these. Incidentally in Japan, pickled plums are eaten as a health tonic.
ReplyDeleteThe online translator says Shizou can mean many things:
ReplyDeleteshiyou leaves branches, side issues, foliage
shiyou way, method, resource, remedy
shiyou trial
shiyou use, application, employment, utilization
shiyou personal use, private business
Which one would you suggest he meant?
Poor Sakurai-san sounds like he needs a holiday. Somewhere where there is a lot of SEX!
@ Anonymous - 1. I am the online translator.
ReplyDelete2. Not all Japanese phrases are mysteries to be cracked. I only left that phrase in Japanese because I thought it was simple enough that everyone would understand it. "Shiyou ze" means "let's do it."
Nope not simple enough for us simpletons :) Thanks for the translation.
