鹿児島！鳥取！愛媛！
Kagoshima! Tottori! Ehime!


こんばんは。
YUIです。
皆さん、お久しぶりです！
元気ですか？
Good evening, its YUI.
It’s been a long time everybody!
Are you all alright?

ツアーも残り少なくなってきました！
There are only a few concerts left on this Tour!

色んな素敵な出逢いに感謝しています♪
I’m grateful for all the wonderful encounters that I have had ♪

鹿児島おじゃったもんせ！(ようこそ　いらっしゃいませ)
Welcome to Kagoshima! (in Kagoshima dialect)

YUIでごわす。
YUI degowasu. (degowasu is Kagoshima dialect for "desu." So "It's YUI" would be the translation :))

「～でごわす」はあんまり使わないという事でしたが、あえて使ってみました。
かっこいいですね。
“Degowasu” isn't used very much, but I dared to use it this time
It’s cool isn't it?

鹿児島では、DJ-POCKYさんにお世話になりました！
デビュー当時からお世話になっている方です。
At Kagoshima I was indebted to DJ-POCKY-san!
He's someone I've been indebted to since my debut.

鹿児島は黒豚が有名という事で、黒豚のしゃぶしゃぶも頂いてしまいました。
さつま芋を食べているということで、甘みがあって美味しかったなぁ。
At Kagoshima, Kurobuta is very famous, so I also ended up having kurobuta shabu-shabu. (Kurobuta is literally "black pig" and is a specific type of pork meat where the pig is raised very carefully with a very specific diet in Kagoshima. Shabu-shabu is "hot pot" where you dip raw meat and veggies in a pot of boiling broth and eat it right away after it looks cooked in the broth.)
I ate sweet potatoes and they were sweet and delicious~



鹿児島は熱い街だと勝手に想像していましたが、
ライブの時も想像通りの熱さで嬉しかったなぁ。
I arbitrarily imagined Kagoshima as a warm place, but
I was happy that the concert was as warm as I imagined

鳥取では、大雪でビックリしましたよ！
It snowed so heavily in Tottori that I was surprised!

ホワイトクリスマスになって嬉しかったなぁ。
夜には、除雪車が通っているんですね。
滑って転ばないようにしないといけないですね。
I was happy it became a White Christmas
Snow plows pass at night right?
We must be careful not to slip and fall ok?

九州育ちとしては、雪は珍しくてはしゃいでしまいました。
雪合戦＆雪だるま作りを皆でやったりもしましたよ。
こけてもも、あまり痛くないの嬉しい。笑
As a Kyushu born person, snow is something rare, so I was in high spirits.
We also had snowball fights and made a snowman with everybody.
I was glad, because even if you fall it doesn’t really hurt lol

この日は、クリスマスだったので、ジングルベルを皆で一緒に歌ったりもしましたね！
That day it was Christmas, so we sang Jingle Bells with everybody!

鳥取では、ｴﾌｴﾑ山陰の稲田茂さんにお世話になりました。
鳥取砂丘にクリスマスのイルミネーション＆鳥取カレー＆砂丘らっきょ。
At Tottori I was indebted to FM Sanin's Inada Shigeru-san.
At Tottori Sakyuu (famous sand dunes in Tottori along the Sea of Japan), there were Christmas Illuminations and I had Tottori Curry and Sakyuu Rakkyou. (rakkyou is Japanese leek, usually grown in fine grains of sand, so I guess she had ones that were grown with sand from the Tottori sand dunes)

そして、個人的に中国地方といえばイベンターのキャンディー袴田さん！
Also, on a personal level, if we speak of the Chugoku area, it has to be the Eventer Candy Hakamada-san!

今回もガッツリ飛ばしてくれました！
ありがとうございました。
They ran around like crazy for us this time too!
Thank you very much.

雪が降っていて外は寒くても、心はぽっかぽかになったよ！　
ありがとう。
Even though it was cold outside because of the snow, our hearts were very warm!
Thanks.

この次の日は、バスで移動。
大型バスにスタッフの皆とメンバーと乗り込んで約6時間の移動。
The following day, we moved by bus.
We traveled on a big bus with all the staff and band members for about 6 hours.

途中はサービスエリアでご飯。
途中バスの中で知恵の輪をやっていたら酔いました。。
バスでの知恵の輪はきけんですね！
On the way, we had lunch at a service area.
On the way there, I got carsick after playing with my puzzle rings in the bus.
Puzzle rings on buses are dangerous!

そして、愛媛！
And then, Ehime!

以前、映画「クローズド・ノート」のキャンペーンの時に、道後温泉の近くの宿で宿泊した事があったので親近感♪
Previously, I stayed at an inn near Dougo Onsen (hot spring) for the campaign of the movie Closed Note so I felt affinity with the place ♪

松山ライブでは今年最後のライブだったので全力で楽しもうと挑みましたよ！
会場の雰囲気も熱くて嬉しかったなぁ。
Matsuyama concert was the last concert of the year, so I tried my best to have as much fun as possible!
The atmosphere inside the venue was also very passionate so I was happy.

たくさん声掛けてくれてありがとう。
Thank you for calling out to me a lot.

松山では、FM愛媛の正岡省吾さんにお世話になりました。
じゃこ天＆道後温泉＆松山城など気になるものばかり。
At Matsuyama, I received a favour from Ehime FM’s Masaoka Shougo-san
There was Jako Tempura (jacko is small fish - kinda like sardines?), and Dougo Onsen, and Matsuyama Castle, and all these other things that I was curious about.

メンバーは、ライブ当日の朝に道後温泉に行ったみたいで羨ましかったなぁ～。
今度は絶対行きたいな～。
It seems like the band members went to Douga Onsen in the morning of the day of the concert. I was so envious...
I absolutely want to go next time.

手紙やプレゼントもちゃんと届いています。
想いがこもっていて嬉しいよ。
グッズ売り場にもたくさん並んでくれてありがとう。
ライブには来れないけどグッズを買いに来たよっていう書き込みもあって嬉しかったよ。
でも、きっとすごく寒かったと思うから身体あったかくして休んでね。
Letters and presents also arrived properly.
They were filled with emotions. I’m happy for that.
Thank you for all of you who lined up at the goods selling point.
People also posted about not being able to go to the concert, but they went to buy goods anyway, and that made me happy.
But I’m sure it was very cold, so please have a good rest and warm your body ok?

会場に駆けつけてくれた方、応援してくれていた方、本当にありがとう。
To all of you who rushed to the venue, and to those who supported me, really, thank you..

また会えるのを楽しみにしています。
I look forward to the day we can meet again.

今日は、久しぶりの制作中。
ひさしさんにお土産買うの忘れちゃった。。
内緒にしておこう。
Today I’m in the middle of music production after a long time.
I forgot to buy a souvenir for Hisashi-san...
Let’s keep that a secret.

次は、年が明けてからのライブ！
The next will be the starting of the new year concert!

北海道楽しみや～♪
心をぽかぽかにしましょうね。
I can’t wait for Hokkaido~♪
Let's make our hearts filled with warmth.

ではでは、忘年会シーズンで都内でも酔っ払いの人がたくさんいますが、飲み過ぎや風邪や体調に気をつけていきましょうね～。
Dewa dewa, even in the metropolitan area there are lots of drunk people in the year-end party season, so please take care of your body and be careful of drinking too much and catching a cold okay~

アデュ師走！
AdieuDecember!

YUI

P.S.

昨日ハナレグミさんのオアシスっていうアルバムの特典DVDを観た。
スタジオ作りから制作風景、とても心地良い雰囲気楽しそうやったな～。
素敵なDVDでした♪
Yesterday I watched the special DVD of Hanaregumi-san’s Oasis album
There were scenes from their work in the studio to the production process, and the comfortable atmosphere looked so fun~
It’s a great DVD ♪

そして、ドラマ「怪盗ロワイヤル」終わっちゃいましたね(￣^￣)ゞ
最後は感動な感じでしたね。
家族愛、兄弟愛、素敵でした。
ゲーム楽しそう♪
Also, “Kaito Royale” has finished huh (￣^￣)ゞ
The last part had a very touching feeling right?.
Family love, fraternal love, it was lovely.
The game looks fun ♪

ではでは、またゆる～い日記書きたいと思います！
Well then, I think want to write another loose diary another time!
またね～☆
Matane~☆

Sure Kiki, but which text are you talking about?

My translation notes are smaller so that you can distinguish notes from actual things in parentheses from the diary, but if you mean my messages before the quoted text then the reason I make them small is because they're not important so only people who really want to read them can read them and other people can ignore them lol.

If you mean the quoted text, then should I just not quote the post anymore? For me, quoting makes it distinguish what I translated completely by myself from what other people translated and I'm just correcting things. If you want me to stop quoting though I can do that. ^^;;


EDIT:
And I highlight everything because word choice is also half chosen by the translator. And if it's not all my wording, but I feel that it sounds better one way, I will change it, but that doesn't mean that you have to accept it that way. It's more of a, "Well, you're right, but I think this may be a better way to say it" type of suggestion, so I bold everything so that people can choose what they want to keep from their own translations and what they want to accept from my translations. I don't expect people to just take everything that I post and replace the hard work that other people have done.... that would defeat the whole purpose of this being a forum, and I don't want to disrespect the people that worked hard to translate this before me. It's more of a "these are what I think sound more fluent, you can change what you want."

It's also for the people who may not necessarily want to read every part of the diary all over again to see what is different. When the wording is bold, they can find the different places more quickly and read the corrections only instead of the whole thing.

It was more to make it easier for people, but I can stop if you don't like it lol ^^;;

Ahh!! Now I understood, Hatsumichan. :D
The translation notes are smaller.

Hatsumichan, i knew you went to Japan on vacation.
So. Do you know big forums of J pop music that also speak about YUI ??
I'm looking for forums on the internet that was made by the Japaneses.
I want to exchange messages with the Japaneses. :)
