I think everyone had known how well the selling of Love so sweet is now. I myself have a lot of confidence in it (I sound like their manager...)
so let me just tell a story about how well it goes here in Nagoya.
I kinda busy these days. At 21st I went to HMV near Nagoya Dome but only find the standard edition. I didn't have time so I only grabbed it without asking anything else (where's the limited? etc)
Today finally I had one day just for myself, so I went to Sakae underground shopping centre. I wanted my limited edition ASAP. But in the store I used to go, it's only Ayumi Best everywhere.
"抜けちゃって、申し訳ありません。”
"Sorry, we don't have anymore of it now.(sold out)"
Then I went to Parco's Tower Record, which is not near considering my sense of direction is zero and I still can't differentiate places in Sakae underground.
I look around and around and around and there's only Ayumi everywhere.
"今日は抜けちゃって、申し訳ありません。”
So it's sold out.
Then I went to Osu, no matter what I want my limited edition today.
"抜けちゃって、申し訳ありません。”
Actually I want to go to HMV once again, but I'm too tired. Both Osu and Sakae means a lot of walk for me. Thank god I put my keds on today.
the one in Tower Record also said "一気に無くなりました。" = "disappeared in a blink"
I end up buying a loose powder, Oricon Style, Duet (it's pink and I love pink), and some blank CD since my friend will help me download Haikei.
I felt so so proud of our boys, but I also worry whether I'll get my limited edition or not.
Haven't read anything other than Q&A in Oricon Style. Here's the ones I thought interesting:
Ohno
Q: in a day, when is the time you can feel relax?
A: when the works are all over and I can feel relieved at home
Q: lately, when do you feel most happy?
A: when I do the things I like.
Q: If you have one million yen now, what would you do?
A: Save.
Sho
Q: when you're still a student, which lesson do you like most?
A: 国語(Japanese). I always got A.
Q: Is there any way to be relax before test?
A: Study until morning and go straight to school.
Aiba
Q: what would you do to forget the things you don't like (that make you upset, sad, angry, dissappoint, etc)
A: I don't forget those things. the more important thing is to think about why those things happened. That way, it won't happen again.
Jun
Q: If you could play someone else in F4, who would it be?
A: maybe Nishikado Soujiro. you know, sometimes we talk about this in the set.
Nino
Q: Nino-san played a lot of 'loveable boy(young man)' role, do you feel yourself like that?
A: what does it require to be called 'loveable boy'? Does it mean 'good person'? If it does, then NO. Basically, both my personality and my mouth are bad. 'good person' is only when I act.
Q: Is there any way to be relax before test?
A: Study until morning and go straight to school.
Sho-kun, I don't get how is that relaxing!
I don't forget those things. the more important thing is to think
about why those things happened. That way, it won't happen again.
I thought that's very wise of Aiba ^^
Nino, I don't believe you're that bad!Basically, both my personality and my
mouth are bad. 'good person' is only when I act.
Thanks for posting the translations! Glad the song is doing so well ... We should be celebrating if the single is sold out everyday ^^

Bah! Sho is such a nerd XD
LOL KACHANG - I agree with what you said. Sometimes, we also wonder how can you play such a "nice" guy :P

Boo. It sucks to not get your hands on something when you've been planning to buy it for a long time. At least you got some retail therapy after that!
Aiba may act like a large child in general but he seems pretty serious inside and strict on himself too.
I wonder what it is about Soujirou that Jun identifies with or feels that he can act well. Maybe he likes the LARGE motorbike Matsuda gets to ride around on all day long.

ah thank you for commenting, i really appreciate your thoughts~
and what you said is exactly what is running in my head
i'm so tempted to major in japanese because it's something i truly want to learn and submerse myself into since i was very young but i was raised to think: "this is what you should be cause it'll be good." and i do want to help my family financially because i still have siblings who need to go through college and right now they're paying for mine. i don't want to seem ungrateful but, as a parent, they want you to do what makes you happy, right?
but i'm really unsure what i could even do with a japanese major - i believe ppl usually double or minor with something else to support it?
ah but those thoughts of no regret are just blasting itself at me.
i also want to be able to say that i at least tried and decided this is what i want to be doing.
