Hi girls! It's been a looong time since I translated anything! I came across some of these photos on FB, and people were asking for a translation. I read a few pictures, thought 'hey, that's easy to translate', and here I am. I went to weibo and found the full(?) set of 9 photos from the weibo entry, BUT, I have NO IDEA where these photos are from. I heard it's from the latest issue of Josei Jishin? Please let me know if that's right, and which date it is, or if you know where I can find proper scans...
Edit: The photos are from the 15th of September 2015 issue of Josei Jishin, thanks to
junaibanina for the info!
Here we go! Photos, as stated earlier, are from 榎本卤蛋 (ssnirvana) from weibo.
Photo caption: I'd like to propose in a way that'll be remembered.
Q: What is the number 1 criteria you are looking for in your life partner?
A: If she likes me, then that's good enough.
Q: Will the proposal come from yourself? Or from your partner?
A: As expected, I think it's better if it's from me. Because I'm the male. *laugh*
Q: What if you were proposed to?
As expected, because I thought the proposal would come from my side, I'd be troubled. (I'll get her to) cancel it. *laugh*
I don't have the concept of being proposed to at all. Has it actually happened before, the proposal coming from the girl. I guess it's not impossible.
Q: Compared to the time when you were a child, has your impression of marriage changed?
In the past I thought that getting married was a goal, now I've come to think of it as a start. Looking at the families around me, various things started after their marriage. Among them, there were also people who went back to being single. In comparison, I view marriage more dryly. *laugh* For wedding ceremonies, I think it's great to take part in them anytime. But as for my yearning towards this thing called marriage, I'm nonchalant. I've become mature right?
Q: What do you think makes a great couple*? (*A literal translation would be 'husband and wife portrait'. It's like saying how the couple fits each other, and how compatible they are with each other - so much so that in one look you can tell they are husband and wife.)
A couple is intimate with each other I guess? Though I don't admire couples who are always holding hands while walking. Though for a single like me to say this... Because I don't know if it is necessary for couples to be close, I think it'll be good if they are intimate with one another.
Photo caption: His life partner is, someone who likes him, in which case that's good enough.
Q: If an Arashi song were to be played at your own wedding ceremony?
Frankly, I don't have any idea at all. It's embarrassing but it can't be helped right? ...... at my own wedding ceremony, the last song to be played would be "Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi" I guess.
Q: White kimono*, or wedding dress, which faction are you?
Either one is fine. The one that the wife prefers to wear is fine.
*Referring to the traditional Japanese bridal dress
Q: Living together after getting married, what is the one thing that you cannot forgive (about your life partner)?
What is it, properly switching off the lights. I switch them off properly you know, it's such a waste you know!
Q: Where would you like to go on your honeymoon?
Somewhere where I've not been to up till now would be good. Like Amalfi* and such. Though I'm not sure myself, but if you were asked "Where did you go for your honeymoon?" and you replied "Amalfi", isn't that cool? Just for that. *laugh*
*A town in Italy. See the wiki page here.
So that's all girls. Now you know where to go stalking Sho on his honeymoon (if you're not the lucky bride that is :P).
More pretty Sho (wedding) photos here.

Date: 2015-09-02 05:24 pm (UTC)I'm imagining right now what if Sho-chan proposed to me. HAHAHAHAHA. (It's not illegal to dream, ne?) Though I know, that he and other Arashi members prefer not to date a fan. Huhu. How sad. :( But still, no matter what, I'll still support him and Arashi! Haha. :)
Thanks again! I hope you have more free time again! Love lots! :)
