OH MY GOD dlerioertyi95ruoh5 *dies*

World Peace Ohtori...what...XDDDDD *pats him* and uh hell the whole of Hyoutei kills me TOO.

Thanks so much and thank you- *incoherent* I mean, I wanted to thank everyone who had a part in it for this glorious baby. (The translations are great! *weeps in joy* T_____T)

I thought I'd never...no, I thought I'd have to wait at least a good half a year or more for there to be any chance of a translated version being issued here. Now I can go order the original Japanese 40.5 without worries for not understanding the better part of the book THANK YOU *hearts*

[magnet-dance.livejournal.com]

Thanks for translating these!!!

I happen to share the same special non-tennis skill as Jirou XDD;;

It's also interesting to note how Gakuto seems to dislike his father. hmmm...

[falls-whisper.livejournal.com]

The little tidbits about these characters are just AWESOME!!

Atobe and Kabaji lived in Britain?! Very surprised...

And Choutarou is so adorable! Quite surprised he doesn't like romance stuff though. Oshitari's ... hahahhaa!!

[puccho.livejournal.com]

Atobe! Ballroom dancing!

[teshumai.livejournal.com]

Thanks, this was so helpful and nice to know ^^

sidenote- 恥ずかしい can also mean embarrassed so maybe shishido was saying he didn't like embarrassing poems, which probably implies exactly what you said-sappy poetry.

1. Gakuen Nana Fushigi : It's Japanese Story about seven weirdness that occurred at school building at night, included the school's big clock rang for 13 times, piano in music room will make a sound by itself, the staircases will increases or decreases, the picture of headmaster will smile widely, and there's sounds on the empty alley... Related to this, maybe that's why Hiyoshi come to music room even though he didn't like music (to check the piano? XDD) and that's also why he likes to go to stairs. In Japanese, in their biology lab you can find small animals that preserved in jar (you know what I mean right?XD) and that's also scary. In short, Hiyoshi loves horror things ^^

2. Ohtori loves Higashiyama's drawings, it reffered to Higashiyama Kaii (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaii_Higashiyama),famous Japanese master.
