Notes:

•   "Febreze" is a brand of air-fresheners

•    

•   "Napoli's" is an Italian restaurant chain

•    

•   "Kouhaku" is an annual end-of-year show in which two teams of artists/musicians, separated by gender, compete against each other. It is considered an honour to be invited to perform at the show

•    

•   When Saga talks about Nao telling dirty jokes and then getting told off by NHK (broadcaster), he is probably referring to an incident where DJ OZMA, a musician, put on a controversial performance and was then banned for life

•    

•   "Senkou" is supposed to help them come up with answers because it means "a flash (of light, brilliance, etc)"

•    

•   Nobita and Gian are characters from the comic / cartoon "Doraemon". Nobita is the protagonist and Gian is considered as the antagonist

•    

•   I think Saga misunderstood the very last question, and thought it meant "borrow from" and not "lend to" because the words sound similar in Japanese

Notes:

• There is a mistake at 02:29. Tora says "I only know because I saw it on the quest...". It should be "I only know because I saw it on the news..."
• In Japan, you place your "outdoor" shoes in a shoe cabinet at school and wear designated ones for indoors, which is how your shoes can get stolen
• In Japanese, the word for "coconut" is "ココナツ coconatsu". "Natsu" is also the word for "Summer"
• The cooking show Shou is referring to at 17:59 is "Moco's Kitchen", hosted by actor Hayami Mokomichi. He's known to exaggerate the way he puts on seasoning

Alice9 Channel - 5th Album Special [2012-02-23] Subtitled

GENERAL NOTES:

There are several instances where what the members say aren’t subbed. They could be the same thing another member said, or they couldn’t be ‘caught’ so they were left untranslated.

For those who are familiar with Japanese, everything is translated in context so don’t be surprised if you heard a sentence but that sentence is only equal to a few words.

The timing for the members’ comments isn’t perfect. It’s hard to sync the Japanese and translated comments together. No worries, you’ll still understand them. \(^o^)/

The comments are also colour-coded. Shou, Hiroto, Tora, Saga, Nao

The Alice9Channel comments appear like this:

Notes:

• I cannot hear the person that Hiroto apparently almost ran into at Roppongi so I had to leave it as (?????)
• "Three highs" and "three lows" were a buzz words in Japan meaning the three things that people look out for in a potential partner (usually in males), and usually referred this things like high income, good education etc. Since it' was a term applied to males, I assume the "three highs" Saga is talking about are a woman's measurements
• "Two block" is a type of hairstyle, like Tora's (and the rest of Alice Nine), where the sides are shaved but the top part is kept long
• The coach of the Japan men's national soccer team is Alberto Zaccheroni, so people call the current squad "Zaccheroni Japan", which is how the staff came up with "Sagaroni Japan"
• The "Whistle of Asia" is a joke from the "Whistle of the Middle East", as Middle Easteren soccer referees are said to give favour to the team playing on home soil or make disputable calls
• "Japanet" is a TV shopping show
• "Captain Tsubasa" is a comic / cartoon about soccer
• Something went wrong with the subtitling at 1:09:55. Tora was supposed to say "Pretty scary. There happened to be this mountain path and when I followed it back, for some reason, Saga was standing in the middle of the ocean."

Alice Nine: Wink up 2009 April Vol. 18

Before we head into your 4th anniversary, for the sake of knowing even more about the members, this time, the theme will be "Members talking about members", we hope to hear more about the changes within members.

Hiroto: Well, let's start with Nao-san. I think recently Nao-san became tougher than before. You probably can't tell from his appearance or his words in magazines but in the background he's someone with power.

Shou: The intensity of his practices gets higher day by day, his conscious as a drummer gets stronger as well. He's always the most enthusiastic in the studio and during spare time or make-up time he's always practicing his parts. This is really respected of within our members.

Tora: For Nao-san's humanistic side, i think he's someone who has unchanging aesthetics. I think that's a good thing.

Saga: Speaking of which, recently his hairstyle hasn't changed at all (laughs). Personally, i really liked his wild hairstyle during 2006's Kowloon Nine Heads Rodeo Show period~

Nao: I would like to read wink up and learn something from it! Next, Tora. Recently Tora is getting a stronger tolerance for alcohol. That shows in his guitar play. The ambience is different! (laughs)

Saga: His guitar play is pretty 'soberly' simple ne.

Tora: My boom now is drinking. But I get in and out of things easily so that might change again (laughs)

Hiroto: I don't know if it's from the drinking but i think he's does a proper job of what he's supposed to do. In the past he did put effort in everything but recently, the things that need to get done, he properly sees through them and indicates his intentions and requirements more strongly than before. 

Shou: Right. He's doing things more freely than before. There's variety and more power in them. Especially in lives. I hope you all can come and see with your own eyes during our spring tour!

Nao: Okay! (raises hand) Also, Tora said i looked like Ichihara Hayato-kun, so that's what i like about him! (laughs)

Everyone besides Tora: Ehhhh! (disagree)

Nao: I guess it's only Tora (laughs) Anyway, next up Hiroto!

Saga: Recently Hiroto's sex appeal is coming to surface (laughs). I can feel it even as the same gender.

旅　「JOURNEY」

[note : Before you read this part, ryokou and tabi are left untranslated. Ryokou and Tabi are basically the same, it means traveling/trip but technically they’re different. Hiroto explains the difference later.]

☆Do you like traveling?
Shou : The one who like it best is Hiroto-kun!
Hiroto : Ryokou is not favourite, I like tabi 
Shou : Is there any different between ryokou and tabi?
Hiroto : For me, I think ryokou needs to be decided where we should go, like a plan, tabi doesn’t need a plan
Shou : Once in a while, at 5 in the morning, Hiroto-kun wrote an email [Right now, I’m floating on the river] he wrote that, I was like “Is he alright!?”, I was worried (laugh)[note : I’m not sure with the ‘floating in the river’] 
Nao : That’s just an excuse
Shou : Right now, I’m used to it
Hiroto : In a trip, because we usually find something we can’t see, I like, [I’m going] without deciding at all, I’ll like to go out 
Shou : Are you still going ?
Hiroto : Yes. I will decide the destination eventhough I can’t reach there, on the way to the place there’re various thing you can find this is sensation of the trip, I think it makes the trip feels so wonderful

Q : During interview last time, after doing music selection meeting, have you finished making the song?
Shou : During the second meeting for choosing the song, Saga kun was 30 minutes late, On that day we had to decide that it’s time to do the cleaning in 2006. He was late, it appeared like the he had finished the song.
Saga : …… probably
Shou : After all, we all agreed that Saga kun song is decided to be released in March as single, then Saga kun did the cleaning 
Saga : It seemed like the people at the office were able to forget it, it was kind of a promise to me

Q : So how did you make the song?
Saga : At this time, I tried to make and also change many songs. Until now I have made the song melody, I have make a sketch when making a song, Now, It’s the first time I use acoustic guitar to create the melody. [NUMBER SIX] (DVD Single) the last official CD which was released 1 year ago, isn't it. I think I’d gradually do a new thing, I try to change my technique in making music

Barks Plus - The News Days of Rock
SHOU x SAGA - Questions from Readers


1. 「ＮＵＭＢＥＲ　ＳＩＸ」 is a song made for the fans, then how about 「ＪＥＷＥＬＳ」?
Shou : “Kimi no soba de uta wo utawasete kurenai ga” [note : JEWELS lyrics which means “By your side would you sing this poem (or song)”] the words just came out naturally, and I wanted to deliver this voice to everyone so it has a strong feeling. And I agree with your explanation about 「ＮＵＭＢＥＲ～」
Saga : If we assume in a single word ...... I think “Give Love”. “Do it” (laugh). And regarding the music, I think it’s about “Love” , sort of.

2. 「ｊｅｌｌｙ　ｆｉｓｈ」 song is delivered as if it is swelled, then in what kind of situation 「ＪＥＷＥＬＳ」 is?
Saga : The situation is quite different ...... I’d like to make the neighbour listen to it, sort of (laugh). Really, I’d like to make the person hear it. And the neighbour wants to hear it. 
Shou : And it seemed the person came with left over food, curry (laugh)
Saga : “Would you like to hear it?” like that (laugh)

3. How do you describe 「ＪＥＷＥＬＳ」 in colour?
Saga : Platinum ?
Shou : It has a light image ......。I think It’s white.
