Notes
1 Literally translated: My boiling point for laughter is low.
2 「腹減った」
3 「国語」 This “Japanese” is more like Japanese literature. Similar to the English we learn as native English speakers.
4 Written in English; Obama’s catch phrase from his election campaign. Tons of Japanese people (kids especially) know this phrase… for some reason.
5 He says 「世話焼き」 which translates to “bothersome person” but it connotes that it’s because they’re too mothering and worrying about you. Sounds right to me.
6 「ガンガン行こうぜ」
7 「嵐を巻き起こす」

I seriously am thinking Sakurai is my favorite member. I think I've run the gambit of 'favorite'ing all the members, but he's sticking the most.

Thanks for sharing! I'm thinking I missed the other guys some how so I'm going to go read theirs now. Thanks for sharing! It was fun reading :}
