MUJACK - Dec 12, 2010

Post by eri »

[quote name='Al Kusanagi' post='88862' date='Dec 11 2010, 07:54 PM']The new episode of Mujack was equal parts awesome (the Sayu-myth being peeled away) and heartbreaking (Junjun's goodbye letter to the members), but cripes that AKB leader chick is unattractive.[/quote]



[quote name='DarkRidley' post='88940' date='Dec 13 2010, 06:56 AM']Part 1.

Part 2.

H!O torrent.[/quote]



MUJACK is a show hosted by AKB leader Takahashi Minami. Today's guest was Morning Musume. AKB-Takahashi gets us into their dressing room before the show begins and the girls show off their outfits.

Image Image



Everyone digs "white Reina." Ready for the action-shot??

Image



On the other hand, Takahashi wears a hat that says "ugly" on it <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />.

Image

Love. her.



Part 1: "W-Takahashi Talk!"After a 30 second recap of the group's history, we head to the first round of Q&A, simply titled "Takahashi." This was set by LinLin, who wisely asks "Do you have to be a Takahashi to be a leader or something?" <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' /> Now the two Takahashi group leaders ask each other questions and make unintentionally hilarious faces for my too-slow-image-capture-function.

ImageImage

I like this Minami girl - she isn't afraid to ham it up. Here are their Q&As in short:



Q (asked by T-Minami): Before the concert, is there anything that you always do?

T-Ai: We always stand in a circle and cheer "let's do it!"

T-Minami: They say the very cool "冷静 丁寧 正確に やりたいことやってるか?! イエっサー!!" (Which is something like "Are ya doing it composed, careful, and exact?? Yes Sir!!" but not as cool in English)



Q (asked by T-Ai): What is your dream?

T-Minami: I really want to be a solo singer



Q (asked by T-Minami): Are there any traditions among the members?

T-Ai: We always exchange gifts for birthdays, Christmas, and such events

T-Minami: We have too many goddamn members



Q (asked by T-Ai): Tell us something that is hard about being a leader?

T-Minami: Like I just said, we have too many goddamn members - they keep adding them! I can't remember their names!

T-Ai: Eh? As for me...I think its harder for the other girls to deal with me <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' />



Q (asked by T-Minami): Do the members have any shared habits?

T-Ai: The way we talk is similar!



JunJun interupts "Yeah, everyone speaks broken Japanese" <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' /> Eri smacks her in the head

Image

But anyhow Ai explains that at the concert, everyone has set phrases especially when they introduce themselves.



Q (asked by T-Ai): Are there any set rules among your members?

T-Minami: It is okay to have one-sided crushes but 両想いare NG! I'm not 100% sure what this means - I think it means reciprocated love (like a real relationship).

T-Ai: Romance in MM is TOTALLY BANNED. Even crushes! Do you see all the X-arms people? BANNED.

Part 2: More Talk

Reina, the classic competitive white-Reina meanie that she is, begins noting that only Takahashi Minami in AKB wears kind of long skirts when she sees them on TV. She asks "why is only your skirt so long? Everyone wears their skirts short -- I thought, there must be a reason why your skirt is so long. I wonder 'Is she okay?'" <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /lmfao.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lmfao:' />

Image

Look how evil Reina looks HAHA



T-Minami: Huh? They are all the same length! They are all about the same height and --

Sayumi: Oh! Does that mean her legs are just short?

T-Minami: (laughs...but not with her eyes) Can I go home now?

Male Host: I've got another explanation: she just doesn't care about fashion.

T-Minami: No, I do but--

Sayumi: Oh but you just have no fashion sense?

T-Minami: (laughs, again, not with her eyes) Yeah I have no fashion sense.

Black hearted Reina and Sayumi's response?

Image

<img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' /> <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' /> <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' />



Sayumi: Takahashi Minami, you're not the oldest but you were chosen as leader. How come?

T-Minami: I have a mature/adult-like judgement

Reina's reaction:

Image



T-Minami: Are there any problems being in a big group?

Sayumi: Yes - fighting over hair styles. We even fight, sometimes cry and talk it out...

T-Minami: So who are the two that have to fight over hair styles?

Everyone: Sayu and JunJun

JunJun: That's why I dyed my hair, so we don't have to have similar hairstyles anymore



T-Minami: Who is the fastest and slowest in the group to learn things?

Image

Sayumi: Reina is the fastest.

Reina says:

Image

aka "Maybe cause I'm smart."



And Reina? Who is the slowest? She says "Ai-chan!" The leader!

And when everyone laughs, Ai simply says:

Image

aka "yup, that's right." <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /weeeh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' />



T-Minami: Tell us about a mistake you made on stage!

Reina: On our current tour, each member has a line where they say their favorite hobbies and they have to keep the song rhythm. But I can't keep the rhythm!

Sayumi: Our sub-leader always fixes it by the time it gets to her. (Props to Risa)

Part 3: Talking about Michishige Sayumi?!

Image

This is another talk segment suggested by LinLin, who notes that Sayumi has a hidden charm. We all know her dark and super cute sides on tv, but LinLin claims no one knows Sayumi's true charm. The male hosts picks up on this, noting that Sayu has recently gotten quite popular in various tv shows.

Sayumi deadpans "Yes, I'm popular."  In fact, she's so popular that the entire generation is following her lead...And thus, she successfully continues to annoy people <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lmfao:' />

Image

Image



LinLin clarifies, she doesn't care about Sayumi's switch from her super cute to dark personalities. Rather, she insists Sayu has a hidden charm...What is it? Kind of like...canned tuna with mayonnaise <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /lmfao.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' /> Meaning, she's much more delicious than we know at first glance. They put Sayu on the spotlight to find her "true" self:

Host: Sayumi, do you have anything you want to say to everyone?

Sayu: Something to say?....Um, nothing really. Just to say that Sayumi is so cute! But otherwise, nothing special.

Image



Host: Well, is Sayumi really such a dark character? Let's ask everyone else.

Reina: Well at concerts, the two of us always MC together as rokkies. I keep talking and I'm not really good at following up but Sayu is so good at that...

Sayu: Hey stop it!

Host: I get the impression that Sayumi is actually a pretty kind girl, huh?

Sayu: I'm totally not a nice girl, you know.

Risa: In any case, she's smart and she's got a real skill thinking about things and bringing them out

Image

Sayu: Nooo, I can only speak frankly about I'm thinking about at that moment (ありのままの意見しか言ったことない) (they all ignore her) Hey let me talk!

Everyone: Shh, stop talking

Image



Reina: And at the live concerts, everyone says "Oh as we expected from Michishige-san" and they super praise her

Ai: Even my mom totally loves her and always says "oh she's so funny!" and stuff

Host: So, she's actually the one who is the kindest...

Sayu: Hey! I'm just super cute! I'm not kind at all! Hey, its going to be hard for me to act on TV shows from now on!

Host: Hey...stop talking!!

When people note Eri is the closest to Sayumi, she says

"It is only because Sayu really helped me out that I've made it until this long. Thank you" and everyone erupts in sarcastic applause, wiping away false tears <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

Image

Sayumi is not pleased by Kamei's betrayal.



Host: So who here thinks Sayumi is really a nice person? Raise your hand...

Image



So say something in front of the camera, as a nice girl? Sayumi is perplexed...

Image



Then she proclaims: PACIFISM! (with a fist pump) <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /lmfao.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' />

Image

<img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /lmfao.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' />:lmfao:<img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /lmfao.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' />:lmfao:



(To be continued. There is one last SAD PART but I've got to run some errands)

Reina's Goodbye Letter

After some quick promotion for the new album Fantasy 11, we are reminded that Kamei and the Pandas are graduating. To say goodbye, Reina reads them a letter she wrote to them. It begins

"Dear Eri, JunJun, LinLin: Congratulations on your graduation! As the three of you start on new paths in life....these are the things you should fix about yourself."

Image

Look at her evil smile!



Here are her memories in short:

To JunJun: When you sat next to me on the Shinkansen, I noticed that your clothes start to spread open when you relax. Sit forward in a lady like way, alright?

JunJun's response: GOT IT.

Image



To LinLin: Your jersey's pretty gross, isn't it? If the size is too small, we can see the lines of your body so, it's better to take care of that okay?

LinLin's response: Is that so.

Image



To Kamei: You're a little to strict about my eating habits. It was you Eri who seriously warned Reina, with my unbalanced diet, by saying "YOU'LL DIE." <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

Image



Then it gets sweet and sad.

Image

But not that sad

Image



She continues: But Eri also spoke passionately about the future with me and LinLin, I know you were always working hard and keeping aware of the things around you. JunJun, once during an interview you said that you loved Morning Musume and I was happy when you said that our group was like "My family." So even though I started writing this letter to give you advice on what you should fix, I've ended up having fun with all these memories and feeling grateful for you three. I want you all to keep working hard as you do now. Thank you for everything! Even if we're parted, we're always Morning Musume - our family. Love, Reina.



LinLin, were you moved by any of this? She jokes "I stopped listening after the whole dirty-jersey thing."

Kamei? Reina is a little hard-headed but it seems like I heard a little of her true feelings。

JunJun: So moved, she can't even speak. She just say, "I love you"

Final Part: JunJun's Goodbye Letter <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />



"Dear Ai-chan, Gaki-san, Michishige-san, Tanaka-san, Mitsui-san

"Even though the 3 of us are graduating on this tour, I wanted to write a letter to the remaining members"

Image

Eyes already watering....

Sad faces....



"....about the things you should fix."

Image



To Ai-chan: You shop too much.

To Gaki-san: In the middle of talking about something, you start talking about something else.

To Michishige-san: You think too much and worry too much about everyone around you.

To Tanaka-san: Your clothes are too flashy

To Mitsui: You're too anal <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' /> (komaka-sugi: can be stingy, meticulous, etc but generally can be taken to mean, you're too anal!)

but



The good things about Gaki-san: You're serious and work so hard <3 <3

The good things about Michishige-san: She works hard in her own way

The good things about Tanaka-san: Your honest and can say what you think but in truth, you're kind

The good things about Mitsui-san: You're so grown up and together

To Ai-chan: Your serious to the degree that you worry about everyone, and you're a really good person. (Something in bad Japanese) and I think you should live more relaxed.

Even if I'm all alone and feeling lonely, Morning Musume is a great group and I've got only good memories. To JunJun, Morning Musume is my family. Even when I got back to China, JunJun will never forget meeting Morning Musume. Thank you so much. I'm so grateful to meet you all. Love, JunJun.



Takahashi Ai notes that it was pretty tough for the Pandas because the language and culture are different. Still, they worked hard and (sniff sniff), she just feels so happy to hear them say they were glad to join. And she has known Kamei for so long and even though they've had conversations while crying, well, they made great memories.



And...oh oh? Yup, everyone is crying now

Image



For some reason, Takahashi Minami is crying the hardest <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' /> Here are some sexy pictures to break the tension:

THE END.

Thanks so much for the translation! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /lmfao.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' /> Really funny stuff, and it's also nice to see how obviously moved Takamina was by JunJun's letter. It just goes to show how manufactured the fan wars really are.

Or how manufactured television hosts' and idols' reactions are. Maybe they're just that good at it.

What's the first thing you do when you return home after a concert?

I've deleted my previous post, since I didn't want to break your translation posts.



Thanks a lot for this translation and the work you've put into this, it was very interesting !



EDIT:

I now watched it myself and did anybody else notice the Ferrari ear rings Ai was wearing ? They somehow distracted me.

I need to go download part two! I haven't had a chance to watch either part yet, but this seems like rare gold. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />



By the way, the "Busu" hat is pretty popular in Japan right now, made by w♥c. It's the "sequel" to their cap that said the same thing in English. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' /> You can get your very own here xD

Yes, I even had all these screen shots of her earrings but didn't want to post about them -- the summaries were getting too long. I like her outfit - didn't know they were Ferrari! Just thought she was randomly wearing pony shaped earrings haha.

I already saw the show, but I enjoyed the screenshots and summary. Especially the evil Sayumi and Reina shot.



And I like Takamina as well. She's one of the most likeable members of AKB.

Great stuff, Eri. Thank you for this.



JunJun's the absolute greatest. She will be missed.



Takamina's my favorite in AKB48. Wonderful to see the two Takahashis together.
