So I went to go watch the Hana Yori Dango movie yesterday. It was insane amounts of weirdness, but I really really enjoyed it! This was also the first time I've endeavoured to watch a full-length Japanese movie at a theatre, without subtitles. And it went really well! My friend and I thought that we must have missed something in translation, because the ending seems too weird to be true, but, after some research, it turned out we were right. Total and complete weirdness. :P
PS - If you're wondering where the TOMAGOTO's are, I've decided to quit that, cuz they're all available on the lovely, lovely TOMAlicious forums: http://forums.tomalicious.com
If you're wanting to see some of my other translations, either join that, or check out my website, or some of the other communities here, like tomalicious_frm or ikuta_toma. ^_^

They don't really need a plug, as they've been going for ages, but more visits to the Myspace are never a bad thing, ne?
This is them:

They're cuter, and less sulky than that in person. :P

Dooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! With the clicky thing!
I'm playing a gig with the drummer (the one on the far right... no, the other right. :P) in September. Should be interesting... a drummer and a singer.... good thing he's insanely talented, and can play guitar too! But we're looking for more band members.
とにかくぅ。。。
More Tomagoto soon. Very soon! Like, tomorrow, or maybe the next day. Tomorrow is a very very veryvery bad day. Uck!

Well, not fantastic as in "loads of excellent reading-material", but fantastic as in *fangirl squeal* plenty of Tomakun! I wish I had a scanner so I could upload this stuff.
The GYAO edition also shows us, on the 2nd page, that Matsujun's horrible clothing choices aren't limited to Domyouji. Holy cow. He's got sequins and sparkly things and silk trousers and loads of scarves around his waist. Topped off with his fabulous HYD perm. Seriously - do these people not have image consultants? And if they do, what on earth are they paying them for? (Though, I can't tell if that's better or worse than Odagiri Joe's knee-high pleather boots on page 54.)
Can someone please tell me if it's just me, or his Matsujun looking more and more scarily like Michael Jackson every day?
Anyway, it's really good to see Orange Range in there too. They come from the town I live in, and one of them went to the high school I teach at, so there's loads of Okinawa patriotism and whatnot! Plus, they are just about fifteen different kinds of awesome.
And I shall end of with just a little more fangirly squealing. Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Is it wrong of me to like Tomakun's side profile so much? I never thought I would like anyone's nose as much as I like his. :P How ridiculous is that?
OK, sorry for a delay in getting the latest TOMAGOTO's out (if you even care :P). He's written a couple of really really long ones, and there are some difficult kanji, so it's taking me a while. School holidays have just started, though, so hopefully I'll have a couple more up on Tuesday or Wednesday. :D

So, here you are:
トマゴト
[[Eh? Has the atmosphere around here changed?]] <- This references the fact that they changed TOMAGOTO's colours to be consistent with that of Maou today (i.e. black background, red text).
Volume 138. July 10th
This week's gone by quickly, hasn't it?
Episode 2 of Maou will be on TBS at 10pm tomorrow night.
Get home early! Don't let anyone separate you from your TV!
This time, there will be many developments.
Look forward to it!
Ciao.
I know I'll be watching!! ^_^

Volume 137. July 7th.
I've been at the drama shoot from this morning again (jya-)!
We've been shooting a really hot scene from this morning (jya-).
Then, during my break I had a newspaper interview (jya-).
I'm trying my best today (jya-).
Everyone, try your best too (jya-).
Green ranger!
Note 1: I've put “try my/your best” in as a translation for “ganbaru”. This is a uniquely Japanese word, meaning a combination of “good luck” and “work hard”. It's a great word, but it doesn't translate very well!
Note 2: He's ended every sentence with “jya”, and then said the rhyming “green ranger!” at the end. So every sentence rhymes. Classic humour, eh? I'm pretty sure the green ranger (“midorenjaa”) is the green Power Ranger.

Volume 136. July 6th.
Hey everyone! Did you watch the first episode of Maou?
Various riddles were revealed at once.
I wonder how it'll develop from here...
I'm looking forward to it...
I was on location again today.
I heard it's over 30 degrees in Tokyo.
It's super hot! It's demoniacally hot!
Let's take care of ourselves, ok?
Aaand... only on Fridays is our special Maou version of Tomagoto.
To the people who say they didn't see it -
Watch properly next week!
And, little by little, we have some new things starting with Tomagoto. Look forward to it!
Phew, but it's really hot...
