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)

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)

Picture of the Day: Junior Colliseum: Takada Sho shows off his sexy side.
bwahahaha I love how he did it. He was all excited to go next and then his face was like, "Are you kidding me?" when he got the "show sexy" card.

Just flipping through the calendar again and loving it.

Wish: Since it's my last year of high school, of course it's all about studying! I'm also hoping to have fun at events.

I think it's kind of funny how close all of their birthdays are. And I'm shocked to learn Kishi's height. 180????? With that baby face? Massu and Sho aren't that far behind. Actually, they're all quite tall. Chino Aoi...how tall will he become??? Let me imagine....
I can't see it.

Yappari na...
Although I'm still not 100% sure, looking through some Japanese blog posts, I've semi-confirmed that Masuda Ryo is indeed half Japanese. And Half Pakistani. His father is Pakistani and his mother is Japanese.

Translation: Wink Up April 2010: Remain A Friend
Takada Sho
I don't think I've ever truly fought with my friends na... When I get angry, my usual pattern is that I become sullen and don't speak. How to put it? Even when I'm not angry, I always get asked, "Why are you so mad?" (laughs) When someone's joking around, it's normal to respond by acting a bit angry right? Even if that person's friend understands, if by chance a teacher comes along and angrily yells, "Hey!", wouldn't your face fall? (laughs)
Of the juniors, I have a good relationship with SnowMan ka na.... Also, unexpectedly, I'm close to the members of Snow Prince. Chino and I get worked up about yuruge! (laughs) That time, I lent my copy of the Hyakushiki-Ou Yuruge book to (Kishimoto) Shintaro ne.
And so, Shintaro tried out some of the yuruge questions on the Snow Prince members. He'd say something like, "Hm...Let's do the next one!" Then after Shintaro would announce the answer, Chino would say in a sharp tone, "What the heck kind of answer was that? Lies!!!" He's really adorable. (laughs) I would look at that spectacle with my eyes nearly closed, (a/n: from holding in his laughter?) probably looking like someone's uncle. (laughs)
Chino is the one on the top left (the shortest one/youngest one) and Shintaro (not Morimoto, but Kishimoto) is the second to the bottom on the right. He is the oldest member of Snow Prince.
Will work on Kishi and Massu's portions later.
I can't help but think that Sho has a huge soft spot for the Snow Prince members because he has younger siblings of his own. He was with Morimoto Shintaro in Battery too. lol Everyone loves Chino and everyone has a good time with yuruge.
Kishi Takayoshi
At school, there's a group of us 7 that always meet up. After school, we'd go shopping or something and afterward, because everyone's good at sports, we usually end up playing a game of basketball or soccer ka na..."Even if it seems impossible, no matter what, we'll still do it." We also behave idiotically(laughs). Everyone's got quite a strong character so even at school we stand out quite a bit.
Me too...even though I'm a junior, recently, bit by bit, I've come to reveal my real self. But even so, that's still only at about 60 percent of my true self. (laughs)
Within the juniors, I always talk with Myuto ka na... Last year, I performed with Myuto and gradually became closer with him. Myuto speaks like an adult and that's interesting. Also, MisSnowMan's Sakuma is someone that I've been talking with a lot recently. Next time, even though it's private, I want go out and do something with them.
Masuda Ryo
It's been a while since I've participated in club activities but when I did, there wasn't one person who I didn't know well. It became a bit of an inside joke. After lunch, I'd walk around with my friends and play a game of "making new friends". Of course, often times, it was the other party who would approach first and after talking a bit, if we clicked, we would gradually become closer.
At first, even though it was only a week long, I was able to make 5 friends! But I didn't approach them with just the thought of playing a game to make friends. That's bad! Bit by bit, I got better and better at taking initiative towards meeting new people.
Within the junior kids, I've become friends with everyone. But once in a while I go, "Eh? What was his name?" too. (laughs) The next step is to be more comfortable with the jimusho senpais na... But me taking the initiative to talk to my senpais is a bit...of a high hurdle for me to overcome.
One day, Hey!Say!JUMP's member Yuto began to break out in a Michael Jackson song and I joined in so we sang together enthusiastically. Afterward, I was so happy when members of KisMyFt2 approached me and spoke with me!
