Riida's Friend　－　Junya Kudo　

Big thanks to those who left comments on my blog and helped me find my way around Vox!
Still so much more to explore...and am sorry if I am duplicating old news/someone has already done the translations before.

Today I thought I would translate Ku-yan (工藤潤矢/Junya Kudo)'s blog entires.

Ku-yan was born in 1970...so he is a lot older than Riida. But it seems that Ku-yan and Riida are really great friends.

Ku-yan was in Sengoku, Bakumatsu & Tensei plays and was a member of TEAM 発砲・B・ZIN which was a theatrical group headed by Tsuyoshi Kida (who wrote and directed Pu series as well as the 2001 Musical Playzone/Shinseiki Emotion in which Ohno starred as 'Kare").

Riida fans probably already know such information...

Anyway to Ku-yan's blog...

As far as I know, there are at least 3 blog entries where Ku-yan talks about Ohno. All three entries show Ohno's hand making a piece sign as he takes the photo. This is because Johnny's has that copyright thing with the images of their idols...Ohno could not be in the photo if it was to be published on Ku-yan's blog.

Click on the dates of blog entries to see the photos!!!

I have translated the blog as well for your information. (although very rough translation - and blog is a little hard to translate since he does not write in whole sentences etc. )

 They are from last year so not so fresh...still, I personally found them so interesting when I came across them recently. Hope Riida fans enjoy them, too!

I am drinking!

With Ohno Satoshi!!!

I have been refraining from mentioning Ohchan in my blog

We can talk about our dreams to each other and so on ... he is really my best friend

We have shared many fun times and had wonderful moments in the past, too. However, I have not written anything in my blog because people around us make such a big deal of it and carry on

But today, Ohno himself told me to "write (about us)" so I will write (about us)!!

Ohno Satoshi - my best friend, we contact each other and/or meet up and get drunk at important times in our lives

Today is the best Tanabata(Star Festival)!

In the photo with me is the owner of the pub

Could not have Ohchan in the photo because of the right to portrait but he took the photo LOL

The peace sign is Ohchan, too LOL

We are still gonna keep drinking～

Yesterday was just the best!

Neither of us (Ohno & Ku-yan) are usually that talkative, but when we are together, we get a bit hyped up in a nice way

We talked so much about serious stuff and silly stuff

I got nicely intoxicated by alcohol and conversation, went home feeling pleased...

Of course  I went to another pub/bar !! (instead of going home)

Also called and reserved seat at the third pub/bar LOL

I would not let such a great night finish so early!

The fun has just started

While we were drinking at the second pub/bar, we bumped into  親方(羽場さん/Haba) there by chance!

Haba has just finished the last day of a musical he was in and was at the pub/bar for the post-production party

I have seen him around a few times but Ohchan has not seen Haba since Tenseikunpu

Wow Tanabata reunion

We drunk! We talked!
Was great!

As we were enjoying such a great night, I suddenly got a call from 辰(森貞くん/Morisada)！

He was apparently at the third pub/bar that I made a reservation for and told me that he was waiting for us there

I promised to see him soon and kept drinking at the second pub we were at

Surprisingly, another coincidence!

雪那様(きみかちゃん/Kimika) came into the pub！！

Wow！　It IS Tanabata！！

We had so much fun and took pictures with our mobile phones

The photo for this blog shows Kimika, Haba, and an actress who was in the musical with Haba

Ohchan had to be the photographer again (too bad)

Only Ohchan's peace sign could appear in the photo

Ohchan is the "hand model" LOL

 Well, we kept drinking and having fun...I think it was around 3 in the morning...we planned to get to the third pub and rang Morisada...

He was already passed out at the pub LOL

So we did not get to catch up with Morisada

Such is Tanabata LOL

I have a friend who has turned into a bit of a fisherman lately

I got a call from that friend who had just returned from a fishing trip and was on his way home

We drunk and talked through the night until the morning

We just had to go and eat Ramen (noodles) to finish off the night

well, I had such a great time

My friend promised to catch up with me soon and returned to fish...no, to home

By the way, it seems that my friend did not catch any fish yesterday

Try again! LOL

＊＊＊

Mobile phones are called Cell phoneｓ in the States, right???

I so wish to go fishing with ohchan!!!!!!

And eat Ramen!!!!!!

He is just so adorable, ne!
