This blog entry translation is unfortunately not quite complete and some parts are very sketchy. Some of this stuff uses grammar which I'm not familiar with yet and there may be some slang too. Nevertheless, I will post this up anyway, in the hope that people who know more with help with corrections and tips. All in all, I have found these translation exercises to be very, very educational for me as a Japanese language student. I have learned so much!. Therefore, I will endeavour to continue and I promise to produce the best work I possibly can with my still limited knowledge. Again, I appreciate any and all criticism, corrections and comments! And please excuse any mistakes, I'm a noob at this...

Here we go:-

Theme: RINA







The photo mentioned earlier.















(Refer to Mami's post) - [She means this one]






I got up early today as well.
From morning we were at FO (FM Osaka).
FO's staff,
We value all of them like our own families,
The four of us made a live appearance on Kojisan's Piece, after a long time.
Osaka's tsukkomi's* quality isn't incomplete.
Absolutely.
I mean it when I say I feel at home in this town.
My feelings become very warm.
To those who listened in, thank you!







In the evening, I was at home in Tokyo,
I went to dinner with a close friend.
It was good to be able to talk!
Lately, around her I've asked and talked about happenings,
about things that I've felt inside and such.**
Many times,
[It's very bandlike ne!]
is what I felt like saying. Lol!
Yep, band.








Bands, that's what they can do.
In this way too, people's lives are changed easily.
The magic of curiosity.







RINA

Notes:
*tsukkomi - I'm not sure what this is. From my references, apparently it's one half of a comic duo and since Osaka is known for producing many comedy acts it seems to make sense here.
** - I found this sentence very, very tricky. It might be wrong so don't quote it, please

RINA's pic is much more clearer than MAMI's! XD

Thanks for the translations!

@macdyne73
Thanks dude !
So now we know Rina lives in Tokyo and it is nice to know she has a close friend there, she needs other people to talk to other than just Scandal.

I will make sure to visit Osaka as well when I go to Japan.

Thanks for the translation .hail.
It will be nice to become Rina's close friend.
And I think Rina's friend know everything about Rina because seems that Rina told many things to her friend.

Uhmm so cute .love.

Thanks for the blog post translation!
I think Tomo dyed her hair again.. it looks lighter!

Thanks macdyne-san .love.

I think this quote "バンドってなんなんやろなー。" means What bands do not do Na.

~I'm not sure just translating it in google lols

Hey, just a quick thing. The first sentence "例の写真。"
"例" can mean "usual" but it can also mean "said; aforementioned"

Seeing as how she later says "See Mami's blog" I'm pretty sure that sentence should read something like:
"That said photo" or "The photo mentioned earlier."

Mami talked about how Rina was taking a picture of them from the back while her and Tomo were taking a pic themselves haha

But thanks for the translation! I know myself Japanese can be SO hard to translate to English ^^;;

I tried that and it didn't make sense to me. I originally thought maybe it meant "What bands do or do not do" but I'm very unsure about that so I left it untranslated. Perhaps someone else can help with this?

Nice translations, macdyne73!
Hope below could help u..
わたしのココロの中を伝えたり。Tell what I've felt inside. (ココロ=heart)
バンドってなんなんやろなー perhaps it's should be "that's what a band could do.."
referring to the context of the sentences..hope it helps.

thanks For the Transy Mac .hail.

Yep, I got that line about her kokoro I just changed it a little to make it flow better in English.

I'm going to use the second line to replace the untranslated part. Thanks a lot man!

Edit: You know what, I'm going to put the word "inside" in there somewhere. Thanks again!

macdyne73, jigoku79, Ono Sasazaki, and ILOVERINASUZUKI21

Thanks for the translation and great team work.

@macdyne
no probs, man! u know, needs a courage to translate the blog..(lot of slang they use.. .whistle. ) great work!

Seeing the picture from the front and now from the back is way too funny

.. and in other news, RINA just posted a really touching blog entry about their trip to Fukuoka. They visited a shrine to make wishes for the new album to reach many people, for their Budokan show to make people happy, for everyone cherished by them to always have laughter beside them.

They also spent the day making stuff for those people who will be going on their Budokan Bus Tour. 500 postcards signed so far.. RINA says it's like the stuff she used to do back in elementary school. She misses that. Ahh RINA. So adorable sometimes.

It's kinda weird, I can understand it just fine in Japanese but when I want to translate it... my brain jams.

Ah, I need to go to sleep it off and maybe someone more capable will translate it. It would be a shame if it remained untranslated... It's a really good entry.

thanks for your effort mac!

Oh my bad macdyne-san .hail.

Thank you again for sharing and translating, and thank you too for jigoku-san and ono-san .happy.
