Radio: BayFM78 ON8 feat. The GazettE, Aoi & Reita, Pt. I

Hello everyone!

Is everyone excited to read the translated radio transcript we have for you? I sure hope so! Radio shows are by far my most favourite to do when it comes to translations. They're a little challenging sometimes but much more fun, especially content wise. Kuma☆G is a happy translator when the content is interesting (*･∀･)v

I really wish I had the audio for this because it's harder to feel the atmosphere of the conversation. Also some things translated into English just aren't as funny, it's just lost in translation (;_;)　However, I've tried my best to capture those feelings in the English translation, also a big thanks to the lovely B✿chan for helping edit and making sure everything is comprehensible.

Just a little note for those interested in using our translations

Feel free to translate it into your language/ other languages. All you need to do is credit link back to us, and let us know the link to your translation. If you have any more questions, send us an email. We would like you to let us know, mainly so we can promote it to people who follow us, and “mou ichido” it in other languages. :)

Alright, so as always without any further ado. On with the translations!

Magazines: Shoxx vol. 128 feat. The GazettE

Here we are, resuming our translations...and we bring to you a promised project! A 9th Anniversary tribute to the GazettE.

This was actually supposed to be posted the weekend following their official anniversary, but we wanted to pay our respects with a moment of silence to the victims of the Tohoku Earthquake. Our sympathies are with those who experienced loss in this disaster.

The interview is finally here though, and it's very amusing--especially if you like reading about the members and their experiences with love. Yes, that's right, love!

Credit for the scans go to >rawkstarr.

This time's topic is about a 「Collection of questions from A to Z」. But this “A to Z” won't be focusing on the singular topic of their music...with that said, at the root of each of the「A to Z experiences」, the 5 people have told us their about a variety of their episodes.

With this the GazettE interview, there will be moments when your first thought will be, 「Eh~! Is it ok to talk about it to that extent?」, so please savor it and enjoy it!

Blogs: Golden Bomber - Kiryuuin Shou: The Frenzy in my Mind

I've only translated certain parts that I thought were especially important and left out others because I didn't have the time to do all of it. All editorial trimming etc is done by me (B✿) and are marked with a [...].

The original post by Kiryuuin can be found here.

You can thank クマ☆G for this, because she was the one who found the post.

But, the best way to show your appreciation for your favorite artists right now is to give to a cause that is organizing disaster relief in the countries that need it.

The Tohoku-Pacific Earthquake

The things that have been written, the things that have already been thought, my own powerlessness, the information that's changing every second, all the directions for earthquake preparation from followers--it seems like my head has gotten all caught up in everything. No, it has gotten caught up in everything.

地震 - Earthquake

Although we promised a translation this week, we at Mou Ichido feel the need to give tribute and our sympathies to the countries struck by the disastrous earthquakes, tsunami, and other disasters. We will also be pausing our translation activities in respect of those who experienced the loss of lovers, family, and friends. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

To be honest, there is not much we can say in regards to this tragedy. The lives lost all over the Ring of Fire were all precious, and we sympathize with those who experienced losses in light of these recent natural disasters.

Therefore, we'd like to earnestly ask you to donate something to a charity that is working on helping those in the region.

Donations do not mean only money. Although money is applicable in many situations, for those of you without money or income, please consider donating time to help an organization gather emergency supplies or organizing relief to those in need. There are direct benefits such as tax deductions. But there is also joy in simply knowing that you have helped in some way, shape or form.

Beyond these activities, you can also show you care by simply sending messages to those you know in Japan and expressing concern over their and their loved ones' well being. Whether it is over Twitter, emails, or a hard letter, concern and empathy can sometimes be the greatest gift.

We recommended an organization on Twitter called Tzu Chi that has demonstrated its ability to provide humanitarian services and aide in face of various disasters. There are also other charities that you can provide to that can help those in need. For another extensive list of organizations you can donate to, please look here (pressing Google translate will give you relatively comprehensive results).

Also, please remember that not only Japan has been affected by these tragedies. There are plenty of other regions that have been hit with aftershocks and tsunamis following the giant earthquakes in Japan, most notably Indonesia. If possible, please considering giving to these regions as well.

The both of us here on staff are willing to collect donations to send to humanitarian organizations if you are interested in contributing through us. Unfortunately, if you donate through us, there will be no tax deductions available, and we also will not be claiming any tax deductions from anyone we donate to. It will simply be a 100% collection of donations sent to Tzu Chi to ensure that those in need are helped. Please feel free to PayPal us (at mou.ichido.2010[at]gmail.com) and we will record your amount before creating a check for a total amount to be sent.

If you have read this far, thank you very much. We hope that you can help those who are suffering, and if you have already, please feel free to leave us comments recommending other organizations or activities that you find helpful.

Magazines: HEVN vol. 51 feat. D=Out, Hikaru

Better late than never! We both had a busy week last week, so we couldn't get anything ready besides the Follow Friday feat. Dogma, but we've got a peace offering with Hikaru's segment from the HEVN interview series!

Also, a few of you have been asking about the continuation of Rock&Read vol. 004 feat. Aoi. Frankly, since we split it up into parts, we haven't gotten to it yet. But, we'll be having a special for the 9th the GazettE anniversary for the whole band, so rejoice, for stories about Ruki's pee and Uruha reading porn mags are near!

-cough- Ok, so obviously, that interview will have more than facts about Ruki's pee, but it grabbed your attention, right?

Anyways, onto the D=Out members complaining about how air headed Hikaru is and how he stares intensely at people's faces when he's drunk.

The members reveal Hikaru's strengths and weaknesses!

「The person himself only gets up to 3 changes to speak?!」

---First, let's start off with strengths.

Follow Friday: Dogma

Here's another Follow Friday everyone! We've got something a bit different this time—a rock band! BENI and AZU were pop artists that have incredible voices, but this Follow Friday might be what a lot of you are more familiar with.
