[2011.03.10] Sakurai Sho, Otonoha - Vol. 76: Expectations

[barbosa2007.livejournal.com]

This is potentially addictive.

I've been told that English translations of J-Web were made available since August 2013, so I'll work on stuff prior to that.

Sho, oh Sho.

"Expectations"


Hello.

It’s me.

Everyone.

Remember the other day, we had a lively discussion on Arashi ni Shiyagare about whether you’d hand out Valentine Day presents?

To tell you the truth, I…

…handed Valentine’s Day presents to everyone.

So about a month ago.

A friend texted me to say, “I’m about to make some original polo shirts, you wanna make one too?”

That’s what he said.

“Ooh! If that’s the case, I guess I should make them for the members too…”

And that was that.

“A.R.S.”

We had that embroidered on the original polo shirts, each shirt carrying one of the five colors.

The shirts were finished miraculously on 14 February.

Therefore, on that day, I handed out the shirts, saying, “I’ve got Valentine’s Day presents for everyone!❤”

(...gross.)

But.

“A.R.S.” was incorporated into the shirt…

It’s a commemorative item, I didn’t think anyone would wear it.

However, the very next day…

Matsumoto-kun.

And the following week, Ninomiya-kun wore it too.

It does bring me joy to see people using my presents.

And several days later.

Ninomiya-kun said to me.

“Sho-san… it’s about the polo shirt you gave to me…”

He took off his outerwear.

The polo shirt appeared.

“The c-color…”

That’s right.

Once (Ninomiya-kun) washed it, the color changed vividly.

It was yellow, but it turned yellowish green.

…why!?

Why yellowish green!?

[T/N: This is the cue for all you Nino-Ai fans to start squealing now.]

Maaan…

An utter mystery! Oh yeaaaah~!

Well, now…

I wonder what I’ll be getting 4 days later? ❤

(…gross.)

SAKURAI SHO

*T/N: White Day falls on 14 March, a month after Valentine’s. Men who have received chocolate on Valentine’s Day are supposed to return the favor by giving gifts.

How many times I say that Sho-chan is an interesting man? lol This one made me laugh, and laughed more while reading the Japanese text. His use of words and storytelling are just funny, especially his frequent use of 'gross' haha

Thank you!

I can imagine 33-year-old sho-sama handed t-shirt everyone and saying "I have V-Gift for everyone." O_O

It's PRETTY MUCH LOVELY but gross in the same time. He's undoubtly cute. yas.

[sasskumoto.livejournal.com]

that's so cuuuuute *o* waaaa. though i don't think he still gives valentines presents now. but he seems to be the type that gives presents without a reason hahaha. idk if it was that shirt that made Jun's white bed sheet cover turned into a bluish color. hahaha but i think it was on shiyagare when he mentioned it. lol
thank you for translating! <3

[mariam-7860.livejournal.com]

YAY YAYY! I love reading Sho's Otonoha! It's one of the things I look forward to every month. ♥︎
I love how Nino never fails to use Sho's presents for him. This polo shirt, the sandals, the bag...they're the only I could think of right now but I'm sure the list goes on. xD
Thank you for this project. I hope you continue to translate past Otonoha entries!
