Yukirin’s 2013 Election Interview Translated

007

Yukirin…Forever irrelevant!

Really beats me why she works her butt off for these people! Oh well, her brilliance will never wane to us fans. I really, really wish that just for once she would be No.1. Think of the glorious butt hurt, not from fans but Management…’t would be might delicious indeed.

Any way, one of the loveliest people on tumblr was kind enough to translate Yukirin’s interview in the Official AKB Sousenkyou 2013 guide book. nothing new in this that I did not already know or what other Yukirin fans did not know but it’s good I guess for other people to know a bit more about Yukirin too.

I also love the fact that she touched upon that topic that some of us have discussed on why she is labelled as Old gen while Mayuyu new Gen when they are from the same Gen originally. Looking up to the Gen members that came before her and now suddenly being slotted in with them and feeling she isn’t worthy so she has to prove herself as one of them.

Poor Yukirin, she is so gullible. It’s not about her hard work but more like thinking of a way to get rid of her that they did that to her. She probably knows this but chose the wiser words. Oh my Goddess, how kind-hearted you are!

She also mentioned the change in rules about this year’s elections (about having to submit applications). She thought that it was a way of management trying to make way for new gens by guilt-tripping Old Gens from not participating which is kind of what some fans speculated too but the joke was on them. Yukirin having decided that she loved AKB more than solo work after tasting it decided that after all, her dream of being an idol involves her shining brighter than anyone and that means standing in that centre position at least once!

Another point she touched on, yet one we already knew, was that she was freed when her Captaincy position was taken from her. She can now do things that she couldn’t as a Captain and yet despite that she is more of a guide to other members than when she was Captain. Now we know her change in performance we see now is clear to the members too.

Any way, without farther text space…the translation…

♪ They are not gonna get us {Get us)…

So, I accidentally into this Kitarie movie I did not even know existed titled JOKER GAME starring Kitarie as Chinatsu, best friends with Minako (Koike Yui) and along with a huge range of other cute girls of of whom Kana (Takatsuki Sarah) stood out because she was the choice Chinatsu made of the two possible lovers. And what a cast! This whole movie was probably made up of idols all over the place. The only three I am interested in are of course our own Kitarie, Tomato n’Pine’s Yui and bump.y’s Sarah. These three are like the big three of the movie (ignoring all the guyz, who were all dismissed any way).

Joker Game as a movie is kind of like Battle Royale in a way that young generations are tested for fitness of taking Japan in the positive direction when their time comes. Well, it tries to be but it just comes off as a complete joke! I had to admit that that first elimination (poor cute Chihiro) left a great impression on me. Yoshida Madoka really did a good job there but her hard work was made a joke of as the movie progressed and we saw others go through the same thing and truths were revealed. I feel like that the movie would have been really better if those were real deaths instead of seizures! Not that I am into gore or something but finding out that they weren’t dying kind of made those scenes seem like over-acted and wasted, especially Chihiro.

I said that it was like Battle Royale but there was no weapons involved here. All they did was play a card game and a person, or Team that ends up with the Joker gets eliminated. I say eliminated only to make it sound more..impactful. Apparently all they are doing to the losers is wiping their memories and taking them for re-training into proper adults or something stupid like that!

Now, not to say there were no deaths, because there were. Some students who refused to go to class and play the stupid game got eliminated for good…from life! It was supposed to be brutal the way they died, what with the hitting them with pipes until they stopped kicking be it girls or boys, but since it was up to the observers to let us know how brutal, their acting did not do it justice nor did the security-camera view or far-away pans help in the very least. If you are going to do it, just do it. It’s not like you can’t, you are Japan for crying out loud! Going to be brutal? Be frikkin brutal!

Also we never know what exactly happens to the winners because they just…leave! As soon as they leave the classroom, they are never seen again.

And that’s the movie in the nutshell. Now to discuss the real reason of mentioning this in the first place…
