Ee Ja Nai ka My Best CD member messages

[xanithofdragons]

A translation post! It's only been, what? Three months? orz And it's a Johnny's WEST translation post! I've translated the messages from the My Best CD versions of Ee Ja Nai ka. Thank you to nadiah_kumako for posting images of Ryuusei and Hama-chan's versions. I used this video as reference for Shige, Kami-chan, and Kotaki's versions. I'm actually hoping to do more Johnny's WEST translations in the future, so let me know if there's anything in particular you hope to see translated. (I mainly have experience translating from text, so things like magazine interviews ^^)

Notes:
Formatting note: I tried to keep the original line breaks even if they were in the middle of the sentence. Since everyone wrote in different sizes, this made the formatting for each message a little different. I also tried to include hearts and some of the smilies they drew, but I couldn't include all their drawings, so I recommend looking at scans or pictures of the messages to see them all.
1: 831 seems to refer to an English phrase, 8 letters 3 words 1 meaning = I love you, abbreviated in texting and online communication as 831. I decided to include a note even though it comes from an English phrase because I had never heard of this abbreviation before.
Please credit and link back to this post if reposting any part of this translation. Questions and comments are welcom.

[xanithofdragons.livejournal.com]

Kami-chan's message definitely moved me the most. >_

[sarachii.livejournal.com]

Thank you for translating. ;) the 831 thingy made me confused at first. Haha. If youre not familiar on the abbrevations, you might notbe able to get it xD

Regarding the trans. Do your best! XD for surr there are a lot of people reading mag trans, they are just lazy to comment.

[xanithofdragons.livejournal.com]

At first I thought 831 would be some Japanese thing, and I was like, "Ya-sa-i? Vegetable?" But when I googled it, it ended up being an English abbreviation. xD

Thank you! I've definitely noticed I get a lot more page hits than comments whenever I post translations. ^^

Thank you for the translations! I'm so happy for their debut. I didn't get the 831 thing until Akito explained it in his jweb. lol...

[xanithofdragons.livejournal.com]

Lol, yeah, I had never heard of that phrase or that abbreviation before, so I was surprised it came from English. ^^
