Translator’s notes:

Anon-san requested me to translate Takeru and Emi’s parts in TOKIO Kakeru. I also translated some parts I understand. This translation comes with screencaptures!! <3

Important note: I am not a native Japanese speaker so please do forgive me for mistakes. I’m still studying Nihongo until now so if you see any mistakes, please send me an ask and I’ll gladly correct them. Please also credit fuckyeahtakeiemi if reposting on other sites.

Thank you so much! <3 :)

A short background of TOKIO:

TOKIO is part of a popular talent management agency in Japan called Johnny’s and Associates. They debuted in year 1994. Unlike other Johnny’s groups who are into singing and dancing, they have their own band with vocals (Nagase Tomoya), drummer (Matsuoka Masahiro), guitarist (Joshima Shigeru) bassist (Yamaguchi Tatsuya) and keyboardist (Kokubon Taichi).

(translated this off a site because I found it interesting - I’ve always thought Japanese names and the honorifics and customs behind them are so fascinating~ so I love looking into what all the members call each other :D)

(I also found the thing about KinKi’s explanation of ‘kun’ and ‘san’ in Johnny’s to be really interesting)

“Here I’ve put together a list of what the five of them call each other. They mostly fit, though there will obviously be some exceptions. As was once previously mentioned by Kinki Kids, throughout Johnny’s, “kun” really refers to “san”, and “san” really refers to “sama”.

Joshima Shigeru <- Yamaguchi: originally “Shigeru-kun”, now “Shige”, “Shige-chan”, “Shige-san”

              　　　  <- Taichi: “Shigeru-kun”, “Leader”

            　　 　   <- Matsuoka: “Shigeru-kun”, “Leader”

             　　　   <- Nagase: “Shigeru-kun”, “Leader”

Yamaguchi Tatsuya <- Joshima: “Yamaguchi”, “Tatsuya”, “Gussan”

               　　　　   <- Taichi: “Yamaguchi-kun”

              　　　　    <- Matsuoka: “Anii”

               　　　　   <- Nagase: “Yamaguchi-kun”, “Gussan”

Kokubun Taichi <- Joshima: “Taichi”

           　　　    <- Yamaguchi: “Taichi”

           　　　    <- Matsuoka: “Taichi-kun”

         　　　      <- Nagase: “Taichi-kun”

Matsuoka Masahiro <- Joshima: “Matsuoka”

              　　　　    <- Yamaguchi: “Matsuoka”

               　　　　   <- Taichi: “Matsuoka”

               　　　　   <- Nagase: “Matsuoka-kun”, “Mabo”

Nagase Tomoya <- All: “Nagase”

As an extra point, Nagase generally speaks with the three eldest using more respectful Japanese.

     “Cats are cold, detached & unloving.”

     “Cats are not loyal.”

     “A cat will not greet you at the door.”

     “You can not train a cat”

     “Cats aren’t that smart.”

     “Cats aren’t that good with children.”

     “Cats don’t miss you when you’re gone.”

     “Cats don’t comfort you when you’re feeling down.”
