24 Hr TV... I can actually watch it!

All of this good TV coming on in August is really chipping away at my drive/desire to find a flight home for the summer.  Arashi on NTV's 24hr TV?  Yes, please!  This year's theme is "Oath ~ The most important promise".  I saw Aiba's and Nino's tasks from the last time 4 years ago and I was bawling like a baby.  Can't wait!  I'm going to translate their comments get home from work.

	相葉 / Aiba 今回また２４時間テレビをやらせて頂けることは、とても気が引き締まる思いです。 知らなかった現実や目標に向かって行くエネルギーの強さを肌で感じられる番組なので、五臓六腑で感じていきたいと思います！ I feel really excited to be able to do 24hr TV again this time.  Because it is a program where strong energy to face an unknown reality can help you find understanding from the experience.   I want to experience it with my whole body!
	松本 / Matsumoto ４年前に参加した２４時間テレビは、今までの人生で最も濃い１日だったと思います。 今年、またあの感動を味わえる事を楽しみにしています。 視聴者の皆さん、参加して下さる方々が感動できる濃い１日にできるように頑張ります。 I think that when we participated in 24hr TV 4 years ago, it was the densest day in my life up to that point.  This year, I'm looking forward to being able to taste that experience again.  Everyone in the audience, the people participating are going to do their best to make it a deeply moving day.
	櫻井 / Sakurai 2004年から4年。再び24時間テレビに戻ってこられました事、光栄に思います。 2008年、前回に引き続きオリンピックイヤーであると同時に洞爺湖サミットなど、様々な『誓い』が交わされる年でもあります。日本中はもちろんの事、世 界中の様々な方と共に、これからの未来へ続く『誓い』を交わしたいと思います。嵐にとって、また視聴者の方々にとって前回（2004年）以上のアツい夏に なりますよう精一杯頑張ります。 It's been 4 years since 2004.  I think it is an honour to be able to return to 24hr TV for a second time.  In 2008, a successive Olympic year at the same time as the Doya Lake Summit, various 'Oaths' are being exchanged.  Of course within Japan, but also together with various people within the world, I want to continue to exchange "Oaths" for the future.  For Arashi, moreover for the members of the audience, we're going to make it a hotter summer than last time (2004) and we'll work hard with all our might.
	二宮 / Ninomiya また24時間テレビに参加させてもらえるのが嬉しいです。楽しく皆さんと24時間を過ごしたいと思います。嵐らしい24時間を、みなさんに届けられるよう頑張ります。 I'm really happy to be able to come back and participate in 24hr TV again.  I want spend 24 hours happily with all of you.  We're going to work hard to deliver to everyone a seemingly stormy 24 hours.
	大野 / Ohno 4年ぶりの24時間テレビ、またあの感動を味わえるのは本当に夢のようです！ 今の嵐と皆様で24時間素敵な空間をつくりたいと思います。 １人でも多くの方の幸せを手伝えるよう精一杯やりたいと思います。 24hr TV after 4 years, it's really like a dream to be able to taste that impression again!  I want to make a really wonderful 24 hour space with the present Arashi and everyone.  To help many people's happiness, even 1 person, I want to do it with all my might.

Yuji is supposed to be bringing me his washer tomorrow Monday.  I forgot because I haven't heard from him since Monday or so.  Should really figure out when that's happening so I can be home/help.  Maybe the haircut will have to wait.

HnA 4 is out and downloaded!  I'll watch that again when I get home too.  :D 

Maybe Aiba likes younger women after all.

Are they having some really rough sex on a rickety bed upstairs?  Otherwise I am feeling like causing shit becuase its so damn loud.  But if it's in the name of orgasm, I'll let it slide.  Plus, the normal jboy doesn't last that long anyway.  Just got my new visa card by UPS.  I'm read to start spending!  Not.  I still have to pay off my old card, fuck.  But at least I have this one in case of emergencies and can actually use it in such a case.  Watching Heroes at the moment, halfway through episode 2.  I agree, Mohinder is hot.  He needs to shave though.

For my pleasure:

凄腕で？ってゆーか細腕で？　本当に１００発１００中ですか？　はい！
          The go-getter?  The so-called slim-arm*?　Is it really 100 out of 100?　Yes!
何年くらいやってんですか？写真の暦は？　４年やっています！
          About how long have you been doing this?  Your photography history?　For 4 years.
結構短いっちゃ短いですよね？　短いっちゃ短いですね
          Considerably, that's a short short time right?　A short short time, yes.
今おいくつですか？　今２３（歳）です！
          How old are you now?　23 years old.
。。。年下！？
          Younger than me!?

This was just the best reaction evar.  I heart you, Aiba-chan.  Please never take the suit off.  I have no idea what to translate *this as.  It doesn't make sense to me.  Whatever.  That wasn't the point.  Did you enjoy it?  Back to Heroes.
