VS Arashi 052517: Intro Talk Translated

[earth_colors]

Hi and thanks to those who recently subscribed to my blog. To those who don't know, there are a lot of LJ account users who transferred lately here to Dreamwidth, and many of them are Arashi fans. I don't follow back for personal reasons, nor do I always reply to your nice messages but I do read them and appreciate for taking the time to write to me. So as a way of thanks for the follow, here's a translation of VS Arashi (052517)'s intro talk (only). VS isn't really my favorite show, but I like their simple, small chit-chats. They may be silly talks but still, they give us bits and pieces of what goes on in their camaraderie and everyday lives.

Just talking about the weather and vinyl umbrellas...

I don't do hardsubs. And translating short convos like this intro is easier, faster, and convenient for me. So I might be doing stuff like this from time to time. I might as well come up with "Arashi-related" tag from now on. I also don't dl variety shows either, I only watch through streaming sites. Unless you have your own source of their shows, you can watch this particular episode by googling [VS嵐 2017年5月25日]. Just copy and paste the transcript below on a Notepad, and read while watching.

VS Arashi 052517 Intro Talk:

S: We're entering the rainy season soon. Do you have umbrellas and rain gear?

J: No I don't.

S: Eh! You don't have those?

A: You don't use it?

J: No.

A: You're like an Italian, huh. Because they say Italians don't use umbrellas.

N: He's Italian, isn't he? He smells like Italy today.

M to N: Do you have one?

N: I have like a vinyl umbrella.

A: There's a lot of that going around, isn't it.

N: More and more people are using it.

S: That's the thing, since many are using vinyl umbrellas... I thought I'd have a good umbrella. So I bought a pretty expensive umbrella. Since it's a really good umbrella, I don't want to use it. I just keep it at home ever since.

M: You bought it in order not to use it, huh?

O: What about a folding umbrella?

S: You have one for a long time, right?

O: Yes.

M: It's a really small one that could fit inside a belt bag, right?

O: It's the exact size that could fit right in. It's around this small...

S: Do you still have it?

O: It's at home.

A: Was there a time that you used it?

O: Not recently but folding umbrellas are useful, you know.

S: Keeping a folding umbrella at home, then you're no different from me. You have to carry around the folding umbrella.

[kemala_octi]

I also love their small chit chat at VS opening^^
thank you for translating

[shofa]

Lol Sho and riida...what is the point having umbrella then xD

[sa_chan]

Thank you ! Is it to promote Waku waku goodies ? Because there is an umbrella on the list of goodies! xD
I understand the point to have something but don't use it x)

I really like the VS show. I like to see them doing games and laughing a lot. And also I have fun to watch because I want to go and play ! I want to try somes of those games xD

[earth_colors]

I see, maybe so! Umbrellas are useful so it's a good item to sell as Wakuwaku goodies. But if I own one from Arashi, I probably won't use it like Sho lol

[orsa2017]

Yay thanks!! :)

I've known your blog since Kagi, but I could join recently because everyone is moving to DW!! Yoroshiku..

In my country it rarely rains.. so it's embarrassing to hold an umbrella XD people would comment you're scaring off the rain.. lol..

[lunahikari]

I'm like Sho
I've got quite a nice umbrella design but I don't really want to use it XDD

[earth_colors]

For me, this probably applies to nice bags. I'm afraid I might ruin them so they just stay inside the closet haha

[earth_colors]

I see, that's an interesting superstition!

[whiteleaves0]

Thank you translating this! I love VS Arashi (it's pretty much how I discovered Arashi), do you have a favourite Arashi show?

[alyssa_anaise]

Hi, whiteleaves. I had fun watching their old shows like Shukudai, and Himitsu, and MagoMago. :)

[nadzsanz]

hi, thank you for this.
Im glad you decided to translate their talk.
Some of the talk is really interesting but i cant understand ><
i can say i'm there to know what they talking. the games mostly the same. hahaha.
so thanks again!

Yeah. Umbrella can be use when you carry them. XD

[whiteleaves0]

Shukudai and Mago Mago are hilarious! And Mago Mago can be really heartwarming sometimes :) I haven't seen many Himitsu episodes but if they are as good as Shukudai and Mago Mago I can't wait to watch them!

[aiyama]
