Banchan's diary update!!! Options

[FOBulous]

Oh, cool. Thanks for the update.

[*TangerineRaven*]

There was a Staff Note update.. here are some highlights

(I can't really translate the whole entry word for word, but here are some important things that they said.)

~"[Senkou].. many people listen to it happily as much as possible please!"

~they said something about a movie.. maybe they were just talking about the PV for it??

~When the temperature gets chilly, that's when the work on the 3rd single will, without fail, will be presented.

~"I think people already know what the single's title is going to be, but it's "Yumeji"

~They want us to listen to the new single when it comes out, then saying that it's going to be a ballad

~They said the jacket image shooting started the day before this was written, so on the 17th.

~They said that Ban-chan was being a very bright and cheerful woman during the photo shoot ^___^

~There wasn't a cloud in the sky during the image shooting. The sky was clear

That's all I felt like translating.. please someone get the rest -__-;

[Infiniation]

Haha, thanks TR! Wish I could translate, but I'm not fluent in Japanese. XDDD

I can already imagine the cover of the single... Ban-chan looking up in the sky... smiling. =] XDDD

hm...i think i'd like something different, since she was already looking up at the sky for the cover of [senkou].

maybe her walking on a path (yumeji XD) with her back facing us?

anyways, some more things i caught from that staff note update.

- - - [yumeji] is a ballad that's so moving that it makes you feel like crying after listening to it.

- - - i think they drove out to the countryside to shoot the cover for the single, so the staff person is talking about how the wind, the sky, and the scenery made everyone feel so simple and pleasant (i know that feeling XD).

- - - the lyrics of [yumeji] have a lot of content in them. no news about who wrote the lyrics?

- - - does everyone see the picture at the top? it's a picture of what they're calling "the cat who wants to try to be a bear," and Ban-chan brought it to the shoot. XD

I knew I read something about a kuma and a neko at the end of the entry xDD

It's been many days since I updated.

I'm sorry!

How are you doing?

Recently, I have had to get out my pants again! [because of cold weather]  

My health is first and foremost!!

The common cold is thriving, but are you safe??

I am doing very well.

Hey, listen to my new song, okay?

19th december 06

Listened to the radio?

For all of you, it was announced through the radio, there's a Live Show (gig), held in a place where the  beauty of night scenery can be seen from a high places. And somehow it really comforts this feeling.

As I thought, live show is really fun. For everybody who came here after listen to it, thank you. And I wish for a Happy Christmas to all of you.

See you later (^-^)/

My friend translated this to me (in my language). I try my best to translate it again to english.

And also from me. Merry Christmas mina-san! (^o^)v

No claims of solid accuracy, but roughly:

This is the first STAFF NOTE update in a long time. Sorry!

Today was the J-WAVE public recording LIVE @ Roppongi Hills. It was Ban-chan's first LIVE in a long time, since a-nation in August. The recording was broadcast on the radio -- how was it, everyone? Thank you to all who came to Roppongi Hills. With all of the many fans crowded together on the 52nd floor, with its incredible 360-degree nighttime view of Tokyo, we hope everyone had a good time.

In the next two weeks, Christmas will come and go and this year will be over. The new year will bring a musical (February) and a cover album (March). Ban-chan will be busy with other activities as well, so she will need you to support her.

Well then ... !

It's funny, I didn't realize anyone close to her actually referred to her as Ban-chan. Guess we don't call her that for nothing.

[Shigure]

Nice, seems like this is going to be a better year for Ban-chan's solo career. Let's give her our support then. lol

Thank you Tangerine Dreamer.

[Chie]

It's funny, I didn't realize anyone close to her actually referred to her as Ban-chan. Guess we don't call her that for nothing.

yeah, on the Do The Works DVD, Banchan is filmed how she says something at the making of hiiragi, and it seems to be quite funny or silly because she starts laughing. and a woman says "Banchan!", in a funny way. as if she was saying: "you bad little girl!"

I think she said the wrong name for the song. That's why the lady said "banchan" in a way like "you should know better by now." Maybe there was another name for hiiragi before, or it could be that she misread the character - as "hiiragi" seems to be an unconventional way of reading it.

Here's a very crude translation:

Hey!
It’s been a long time.
This is Tomiko Van, who just turned 28.
Thanks for the many messages!

These days, I’ve been recording and practicing for the musical.
I have a pretty good feeling about the recordings,
which we are in the process of finishing up.

The musical practices are also very difficult everyday,
but because I have the guidance of my fellow cast mates, it is very fulfilling.

Well, it is one month until the opening of the musical.
I look forward to seeing everyone who can make it,
and for those of you who can’t make it, please wish me luck!

This year, my life will be exciting and full of laughter!
Please continue giving me your support.

[Infiniation]

Thanks shidosan!!!

Haha yey~ finishing recordings must mean finishing up the cover album, right?

And ganbatte to Ban-chan!!!
