Kanjani8 Fan Club Magazine for Eighter Vol.11 - Nishikido Ryo

(*I don't know if anyone's translated this, but I worked on it for kanji practice lol so here goes. I also don't claim that it's 100% accurate, welp.)

1/Nishikido Ryo

I turned 30!! (lol) At the drama location, I was given an awesome pajama and bath towel set and a card [*those huge square cardboards for autographs] by the drama staff, and although the many names written on it were in small letters, it made me happy. I later heard that that Kudou (Kankuro)-san signed last and he said "there's nowhere for me to write!" so much that his name was written reeeeeeeally tinily (lol). My drama name "Heisuke" was embroidered on the pajama and "Ryo" for the bath towel. After that, they brought out a huge cake they prepared for me. I also received mails from the members on my birthday. Well, except for Maru and Yokoyama-kun (lol) but Maru always gives me a present anyway. Murakami-kun gives me a present every year, too, but this year he gave it to me directly. Usually he sends it by mail, so I don't know why he handed it to me this year. It's the stole I'm wearing on this page! The Borsalino hat was also a birthday present from a friend. By the way, everything I'm wearing here are my own clothes, not just the hat and stole. The staff keep saying that it's different from what I always wear but, well, I'm 30 already so from now on I'm thinking I'd like to try to be a little bit more adult-like, so I wore the jacket too. I don't know if I'll keep up with it though (lol) The contents of the mails are a secret. Each one had various stuff written in them. I don't feel like I'm 30 years old at all. So it's come to that extent where I can't take a working holiday visa anymore?! [*visa where people between ages 18 and 30 can go to certain countries and work while vacationing] I don't even have lower back pain or something of the sort that's in the lyrics of Misoji Shounen. I was still 29 years old when we recorded that song, though, so I had kind of a weird frustration while singing it (lol) As for me, it's not like there's anything I should change and I'll remain the same for sure, but my ideal is to be more profound as a man as I gather both years and experience. More than the Borsalino-wearing 30-year-old me, I think it's cooler to be wearing one at 60 years old. Conversely, more than the 15-year-old me who stretched myself out, I kind of think I'd look good wearing it now. Although I don't know myself whether I'll be used to being the 30-year-old I aimed to be back then, with that thought in mind I want to live as myself everyday as I grow older. And so for that, one objective I have is for my body to be flexible because it's really stiff. I'll do my best to work on my flexibility and with putting on muscle as well; even with dancing, I want to have a body that's able to pause snappily at points where I have to pause and stop moving when I have to stop. I'll challenge myself to show the point where I'm not yet at that level. And so I've decided that my aim at 30 years old is "flexibility"! By the way, I've already decided what my aim at 31 years old is. I want to have all the ice cream I can eat! Why? Please think about how 31 and ice cream are associated (lol) The flavor? Hmm...vanilla!

Shoumei made a lot of creeper faces in this episode. He also ate a lot. And it had something to do with a neko cafe and squabbling neighbors. Kashiwagi Yuki sang Morning Musume's Love Machine. That was about all I understood with my very meager Japanese lol
