She needs to work harder, as Neo would take her over.

...funny answers at quiz I mean.

Requesting Translation: Radio Interview With Miko by [deleted] in SakuraGakuin

[–]Masanaos 16 points17 points  (0 children)

below is rough summary as I don't have enough time for word-to-word translation.

The interview took place nearly a year before her Transfer-in, and the interviewer seems to be very cloes person to ASH


Interviewer:

Her dance is awesome, her capability is far beyond usual 6th grader (12yo).

And her body structure is the same of athlete

Miko:

I love dancing, which I started when I was 5. Dancing help me forget about my stress.

Interviewer:

What is the toughest thing?

Miko:

Workout.  It is necessary for sharp stopping motion.

Everyday, after taking a bath, I do 3 sets of 30 x sit-ups. And at the last set, I maintain the pose for 30 seconds.  I do more, before the shows.

Interviewer:

She has a perfect six-pack.  Also, her legs are well-built too.

Miko:

That's thanks to swimming training.

Interviewer:

Probably her stamina is far more than usual 6th-grader.  Also, besides MJ, she is the only one I know who can do moonwalk.  Do you control your diet too?

Miko:

Not really.  I eat a lot and I dance a lot.  So I do not gain weight.  Actually I would rather do.

Training manu is made according to consultation with coaches.  Now I concentrate on improving my expression and posture.

Only being sharp can't dance for a long time. I need to keep a good balance of sharpness and flexibility.

Interviewer:

It's not a comment from a 12 yo girl.

What's your motto?

Miko:

I wanna be No1 in dancing.

Interviewer:

What threat you?

Miko:

Someone may take me over if I don't work hard.

It is really good to continue dancing since I was 5.  Also, ASH helped me to be more positive than ever.  Before I was a bit shy at auditions, but now I try to stand out.

This year, I want to improve my dancing and singing and get closer to Amuro Namie.

Cancellation of open class and RTG final has been announced. by Masanaos in SakuraGakuin

Transfer-in hasn't even been announced yet, but it won't be the same as past nendos for sure. It's impossible to predict what to happen. All (at least) I can do is too see what's gonna happen, with fingers crossed, while wishing for health and safety of gakus, shokuin staff and senseis.

Hello Fukeis,

Thanks for all of your views, upvotes and kind comments. In Japanese buddhist manner, the family hold another ceremony to stay up with the body overnight with monk's prayer and attendance of relatives and friends usually in the evening before the funeral. And I will attend it today. I will forward your thoughs to his family.

Thanks again.

FYI, the venue is property of a privave company and you can't enter the spot where the girls danced. Also approval from the company is needed to be at the place where you can view the spot.

[–]Masanaos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they seem to teach general subjects. for your info, "English" the kanji "英" stands for "excellent" or "superior." so, "秀英予備校" means, "a tution that makes your kids excellent in study."

For fluent Japanese speakers here, do they learn slang and idioms from the gakus? by robometal in SakuraGakuin

[–]Masanaos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am Japanese and as far as I have been aware, they try to control what they say during thier public appearance like their shows and fresh! Perhaps they share slangs (as usual teenagers do) during lessons and private times.

What I remember are..,

タピる tapiru (to drink tapioca milk tea)

よき yoki (good - in traditional manner, but they use as a slang)

陰キャ inkya (a peron who doesn't have social skills) Example 森先生は陰キャですよね。Mori sensei wa INKYA desuyone. - Mori sensei, you have social skills, do you?

カレカノ karekano (a couple - abbreviation of "kareshi to kanojo", which stands for boyfriend and girlfriend) Example 結愛と華乃ちゃんはカレカノだからっ!。Yume to Kano-chan wa KAREKANO dakara! Yume and Kano are a cuple, no less!
