it's the hen, it's the hen!' they'd say.
Jun: Why? What is the 'hen'?
Aiba: There's no meaning. There those kinds of moments too, where we had to teach them things...like, it couldn't
be helped I suppose.
Jun: But that area ne, isn't that difficult? Cause it's a very pure area ne. You know, I was told that if you cut
your fingernails at night you won't go through your parents' death.
[writing: Night, to cut fingernails (yoru tsume wo kiru); since it's [shorten the world (a truncation of yoru tsume
wo kiru, yo wo tsumeru)] it causes premature death, so you're told you won't go through your parents' death]
Jun: Since then I don't cut my fingernails at night, always, even though I want to, so there are times when, for
about a week I don't cut my nails because by the time I notice it's night-time.
Nino: Aren't there dramas and such where people cut their fingernails when they get into the bath?
[writing: see Nino]
Sho: Oh, there are, there are.
Nino: There are ne.
Sho: There are ne.
Aiba: If you get into the bath they get soft and it makes them easy to cut!
[writing: see Aiba]
Sho: Eh~
Aiba: Your nails.
Nino: Are you some kind of authority on nails?
[writing: see Nino. Nail connoisseur?!]
Jun: If you whistle, if you whistle at night a robber will come, isn't that it?
[writing: Night, whistling; since there's the concept that whistling calls up divine spirits, devils, you're told
whistling at night will cause something bad to happen]
Aiba: A snake. Snakes, snakes.
Jun: Snakes huh? I was told it would be robbers, 'so don't whistle' is what they said to me.
Sho: Aren't there extremely talented whistlers sometimes? At night, when you're walking through the city, aren't
there extremely talented whistlers? Whistling old men!
[writing: see Sho]
Nino: 'Whistling old men'?
Sho: Whistling old men, right?
Jun: What do you mean?
Sho: Eh? Truly it's just that...
[writing: Eh?!]
Jun: So, what kind of old men are there?
Nino: Squirrel old men! Cause they have squirrels riding on their shoulders...:P
[writing: see Nino]
Sho: There's nothing like that!
[writing: see Sho]
Nino: It's true, it's true.
Aiba: They really normally have squirrels on their shoulders?
Nino: They really do.
Jun: There's also Yakisoba old men!
[writing: see Jun]
Aiba: What kind of old men?
Nino: Isn't that Michael Tomioka-san?
[writing: see Nino. Michael Tomioka, Yakisoban!]
Jun: There's this guy who walks around with plastic packs of yakisoba, and likes to give them out to kids, but
everyone in the neighbourhood has been told 'don't touch the yakisoba'!
Ohno: The shoehorn tossing old man!
[writing:see Ohno]
Nino: He comes back then, he comes back?
Ohno: He comes back! And when I asked him [How do you say your name?], he said 'Mister Marek A'!

Ahahaha, all those various 'old men'!XD I want to see the squirrel old man, I saw someone like that in London once it was really funny...and who or what is 'Mister Marek A'?? Oh, and poor Aiba-chan is now the 'Hen', do you think it'll stick??XP And he got kanchoed on top of it all, what a day^^; I have to say, I was really surprised that Aiba won against Nino's spaghetti, it totally seemed like it had to go the other way... don't like mushrooms much either, but if I had to eat them I'd go for the spaghetti in a second;) And those interesting superstitions, poor Jun can't cut his nails at night! I've never heard of anything like that before, I was trying to think of some superstitions I might have that are comparable...but I don't think I came up with much:S I always worry that if I talk about something good or something I want to happen it'll jinx it, so I avoid it, but that's not really quite the same is it?

And now, Jun's article from January Myojo, credit to judytzuchu of ninoism.cn for the beautiful scan:D

Here's the scan, very pretty ne?XD All pensive...





To everyone in the cast and staff of [Hana yori Dango]

At long last the filming of [Part 2] has begun ne. Yay!
Although there were a lot of staff I hadn't seen in a year,
I didn't get the feeling it had been a long time at all.
Although there was the sense that one year had passed,
it was strange how the atmosphere hadn't changed.
The other day when I opened up the script from the previous season of
[HanaDan]'s last episode a schedule from a year ago and a letter
from (Inoue) Mao-chan and (Oguri) Shun and the staff that they gave me
at the end of shooting fell out.
When I re-read it again it was a such a fantastic letter it made me think
'letters are great huh.'
There is pressure in terms of doing a continuation, I couldn't help
but be nervous about it.
I think we could make something that surpasses the original enjoyably together.
Please be kind to me in these 4 months ne.
Taking on everyone's expectations, let's work hard!

Matsumoto Jun

To my Family

Hi there. This is your son Jun.
Lately, due to constantly missing each other,
we haven't been able to meet face to face much ne.
I've become 23 years old.
Although I always let my parents do the laundry and
cleaning, I think it can't be helped.
Very soon,
I'll have to do things for myself.
But, although I'm perfectly fine with the laundry
and washing and such,
I detest putting on the vaccuum cleaner ne.
Although I wouldn't say it normally,
I'd say I'm renting this place.
Thank you for raising me up until now.
...but that doesn't mean I'm getting married (laughs).
Earlier, although older sister couldn't make it,
our family of three went to a hot spring ne.
I think from now on as well I want to be a pious son.
Live long ne.
Because of her irregular work hours older sister looks
busier than me ne.
Please work hard at your job.
Hurry up and get married (laughs).

So sweetX3 I can understand why he'd be nervous about following up last season, it's going to be hard to beat...but I know he can do it:) Haha, and I hate vaccuuming too! The noise, it's just unbearable...much rather do laundry or scoop cat litter or anything else;P How old is his sister now? 'Hurry and get married'?;D Silly boy....XD

There, all done<3
