Takada Sho over at LJ

http://community.livejournal.com/takada_sho_love/

Join the community if you're a fan of Sho!!!  With lots of wonderful help, I was able to set up a community for Sho over at lj.  I'll still continue this blog and translate Kishi and Massu's stuff but the Sho community will focus more on just Sho.  

Exciting.

The Birth of Kishi's New Nickname!

Takada Sho: Now that I think about it, Kishi-kun doesn't have a nickname ne.  I'll help think of one right now!

Masuda Ryo: A bit sudden isn't it? (laughs)

Takada Sho: Your first name is "Takayoshi"...  Takayoshi, Takayoshi...

Kishi Takayoshi: It's embarrassing so stop it ne.

Takada Sho: Masuda's nickname is "Massu"...

Masuda Ryo: Takada's is just "Takada" ne.

Takada Sho: Aw~~ I can't think of anything right now!

Masuda Ryo:  We've been calling him Kishi-kun since forever so isn't okay to just leave it like that?

Kishi Takayoshi: Trying to come up with a nickname for a name like "Takayoshi" does seem pretty hard ne.  My friends from school just call me Kishi too.

Takada Sho: I've got it!  From now on we'll call you... "TAKAPI"!  Because I really like it when you add "Pi" to the end of the name. 

Masuda Ryo:  Kishi-kun.  You okay with that?

Kishi Takayoshi: Sure.  It's fine.

Takada Sho: How do you do, Takapi! ♥


T/N: Sho is hilarious.  The picture looks like it's from the calender shoot.  It's from April's Myojo issue.  I wonder if they'll stick to this nickname.  Yamapi anyone?  He has set a trend.  I think Kishi is just fine.

Wink Up May 2010: Portion - What are you satisfied with in regards to your body??

thanks to shattered tenshi over at lj for the lovely scan




Portion
What you are satisfied with in regards to your face or your body?  Analyze.



Takada Sho

I have elephant ears! When I was filming for Battery, because I shaved my hair off, my ears were left defenseless.  And at the time, I looked to the staff and said, "My ears--don't you think they look like an elephant's?"  That was the first time I ever noticed it ne.  And speaking of that, when you shave your head, the quality of your hair supposedly changes too right?  For me, it completely changed.  Really.  It became a lot softer.  If it were possible, I wish that it could cure my unruly, wavy hair too na~ (laughs)

Also, palm reading seems pretty awesome.  It's not often that you can get your palm read.  My right hand has a pretty て etched in it (laughs).  The intelligence and emotion lines meet and become one.  So does that mean that my feelings become nothing?...  My left hand is pretty normal ne.

And also, my nose grew bigger! (laughs)  Ever since I started wearing glasses, my bridge became taller!  When I wear glasses, my nose twitches.

After I do weight training, my muscles feel like they're convulsing.  I'm sure no one would believe it but I can feel those convulsions all the way to my nose! (laughs)  I really like Kamenashi-kun (Kame from KAT-TUN) and slowly, my nose has evolved to look like that so I'm super happy about it!


Masuda Ryo

Something that I'm satisfied with on my face would have to be...I don't think there's anything! (laughs)  It would be nice if I were paler.  But if I had to really choose, I would say my eyelashes ka na.  They're long and they extend upwards ne.  They're like the lead in mechanical pencils and even seem to be precisely placed there. (laughs)  But only 2 or 3 pieces or so.

My body is also pretty crappy.  I'm happy that I have long legs but having long arms too is a bit too much since it's hard to find clothes that reach all the way down to my wrists.

I'm happy that it seems like I'm good at dancing though ne.  But that's only because if I don't keep track of my body parts, my hands naturally start to look like they're just sticking out.  Even if I'm doing the proper dance moves.  That's why I always make sure I'm moving more than the people around me.

My ideal body is having muscles na.  The me at the moment is completely off the mark.  First, I want to build up my body.  Once I'm able to do that, I'd like to work on my arm muscles.  I guess I just want to make my upper half tighter ne.  That's why right now I'm doing a bit of weight training.  For my abdominal muscles and back muscles I do push ups.  Since I don't really like to do weight training, I have no choice but to make myself do it once in a while.

I'm already at a good height so all I really would ask for is to get more width and for my face to become paler na.


Kishi Takayoshi

If I had to say something that I like about my face, it would have to be my eyes ka na... People always tell me that my eyes are big.  To me, whether they're male or female, I like people who have large, pretty eyes.  But that's about all I can say I like about my face. (laughs)  If we're talking about my body, there's some stuff ne.

Recently, I've been doing weight training.  I've actually been noticing more arm definition so that's definitely something that I'm satisfied with.  So I have a body that matches with wife beaters now probably. (laughs) I started weight training about October or November of last year.  I do 70 push ups a night.  Even though at first I could only do 10, I've improved ne.  But since I want to build more muscle, I've got to work harder.

And what would I want to change with my outward appearance?..  Ah!  Fingers!  On my keyboard, I'd want my fingers to be able to reach and press from Do to the following Mi.  Even without trying, I can reach from Do to Re.  But not just my fingers, but I'd want longer arms.  When I buy clothes, there are times when my arms are too short and the sleeves go past my wrists ne.  If my arms became longer, don't you think that they would finally match with the rest of my body?  I have a feeling that my arms would be better longer.



T/N: Sho's wavy hair is so pretty and makes him stand out!!!  Don't ever change it!  And the nose thing.  (face palms)  What a dork.  Who else wants to see him with glasses on???? Hot nerd alert.

Massu and his body fail.  lol  He cracks me up.  And he does have very pretty eyelashes.

Kishi Kishi.  Future bodybuilder???  And yes, he does have very pretty eyes.  I noticed he skipped over the lips.  XD.  I find it hilarious that Massu wants shorter arms and Kishi wants longer ones. 

I'm kind of glad to know that they're all building muscle.  But they need to eat too!!!  Be strong, stay healthy.

I'm still here.

I'm busy with school work so that last article is still only half done. Very sorry about that. But to make up for it, here are some paparazzi shots of Sho that I found online.

I had them on my lj but I thought it would be nice to assemble them over here too. Pretty right??

Potato April 2010 translations

Sleeping Soundly, Forgetting the Coming of Dawn

1. Average hours of sleep

2. Waking time

3. Bedtime

4. Type of pajamas

Takada Sho

1. 5-7 hours

2. 6-7AM

3. 2AM

4. Jersey or T-shirt and boxers (tn: it says pantsu = underwear so I'm assuming they're boxers, not briefs, though that would be pretty hilarious)

Truthfully, even if I don't sleep, I'm still fine ne.  Even if I get only 3 hours of sleep, I feel completely fine, but when I don't sleep, my face gets wan and I break out, so I always feel like I need to properly sleep.  But without meaning to, there are times when I wake up during the middle of the night too.

Once, I accidentally fell asleep at the park ne.  I was sitting on a bench, basking in the sun and before I knew it, while I was sitting there, I fell asleep…After I woke up, I realized that a lot of time had passed and flustered, I thought, "What the heck!  I fell asleep!?" (laughs)

So basically, when it comes to sleeping, I'm really not obsessed about it.  Oh!  And I don't use a pillow--I use a cushion (tn: throw pillows).  Since I'm young, pillows feel hard.  If they could turn into soft, circular cushions, then I would be able to fall asleep so easily!  And after that, I would hug the futon and fall into a deep sleep! It feels like hugging a pillow, curled up a blanket and when it gets cold, I can grab the futon hanging above me.

A trick I have for helping me fall asleep is calling a friend.  When I talk on the phone, I get sleepy.  So what I end up doing is calling 2 or 3 friends and after we talk, I go to sleep.  In the middle of the conversation, I gradually become more and more tired and in the end I'm just mumbling back answers.  Because it's like that, I rarely ever remember what the conversation was about ne.  (laughs)

Masuda Ryo

1. 7-8 hours
2. 6:50AM (translator notes:  so specific! lol)
3. 11PM-12AM
4. Sweater or T-shirt and shorts

I used to only get about 5 hours of sleep.  But since my condition easily crumbles from lack of sleep, I tried sleeping more and I felt more like myself.  I even stopped falling asleep in class!  Before, when I was only getting 5 hours, I would always doze off in class and my head would go (CRASH!@!) onto my desk!  That got everyone's attention. (laughs)

When it's time to go to bed, I go to our tatami room and lay out a futon to go sleep.  But I'm yearning for a life with beds na.  How do I put it?  Beds have an elegant feeling to them don't they? (laughs)  Incidentally, I sleep on my right side with my head on a pillow.  Even though I wake up feeling refreshed, I still end up feeling sleepy.

When I was little, I would always have nightmares so sleeping became something that wasn't enjoyable naa.  But conversely, when it's a fun dream, I've burst out laughing in my sleep before.  My parents tell me that in the middle of the night, they'd hear, "HA HA HAAAA!" and laughing or something. (laughs)

Waking is a great thing, isn't it?  When you wake up, you can quickly feel the excitement for the coming day!  There are times when I've left the house five minutes after waking up.  But those times it's only because I have to meet up with a friend or I'm going shopping for clothes.  When I'm heading off for school, it's impossible for me to rush off like that. (laughs)

Kishi Takayoshi

1. about 7 hours
2. 7:30-8AM
3. 1AM
4. T-shirt and boxers

I can sleep anywhere, anytime.  Whether I'm on a trip, in a room with blazing lights, even if it's noisy, a bed or futon--none of that matters.  But, falling asleep on a train would be bad.  I'm just saying that because once in a while, I miss my train stop…When I have to go somewhere to perform for a concert, I carelessly end up missing my stop and end up coming late.  Since I board the express train and it has to return quickly, I'm always in a bit of a hurry ne.

Every day, before I go to sleep, I do weight training.  About 70 push ups and then while I'm watching TV is what I normally do.

My sleeping posture is...pretty bad.  (laughs)  When I sleep, just in case, I sleep facing up but when I wake up, it's completely screwed up.  The worst was when I woke one day and found myself lying in the door entryway.  I was flabbergasted when I woke up and saw shoes in front of my eyes! (laughs) It's complicated getting from my room to the door entryway so it's such a mystery!  How the heck was I able to find my way all the way over there?!

According to my family's eyewitness report, in the middle of the night, I took my little sister's bag and I threw it onto the sofa and used it as a pillow.  But I don't remember a thing... My family thinks I'm a bit of a nuisance too ne. (laughs)

AHH~~~!! I'm back.

Spring Break was supposed to be relaxing but I haven't been able to take a breather. 

Sho...did you miss me???
