Rules of Victory in Vegas Love (What Happens in Vegas)

er, this time there's no photo but (^^;)
I went all the way to Roppongi Hills for a premiere preview.
Of course it's with that person... (laughs)


Before the show, I was introduced to Ashton (Kutcher)-san and others but,
well ~, Hollywood stars are all really lovely people aren't they (rejoices)

and so, the substance of the movie is important but, it's been a long time since I felt a squeezing in my chest (laughs)
I rarely watch romantic movies but, I enjoyed this one till the very end.

For this Summer, this is definitely one of my recommendations (laughs)
Everyone please be sure to watch it also.

Well then, it's back to the days of surging waves again (^^;)

えっと、今回は画像はありませんが（汗）
六本木ヒルズまでプレミア試写会に行って来ました。
もちろんあのお方と・・・（笑）

開演前にアシュトンさんとか紹介していただいたんですが、
いや〜、ハリウッドスターの方々ってホント素敵な方ばかりですね（喜）

で、肝心の映画の内容ですが、久々に胸がキューンとしました（笑）
恋愛映画って滅多に観ないんですが、最後まで楽しく観させていただきましたよ。

この夏、オススメの一本に間違いナシです（笑）
みなさんもぜひ観てくださいね。

ではでは、また怒濤の日々に戻ります（汗）

-After some Google-ing, I'm guessing that he's talking about the movie "What Happens in Vegas" starring Ashton Kutcher. Many apologies and please correct me if I'm wrong. ^^;
-If anyone can suggest better ways of expressing the following phrases, please do:
* いや〜
* （喜）
* 胸がキューン

Oh You, you are adorable! thanks for posting.

Wonder what Satan-sama thought of the movie?

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Oh, and Ashton Kutcher, for those not in the know, is married to Demi Moore who stars with Gackt in Bunraku.

[koshien.livejournal.com]

(I was being sarcastic) also LOVE that you mention that firstly he's married to Demi Moore and of secondary importance he's with Gackt in Bunraku.

well ~, Hollywood stars are all really lovely people aren't they (rejoices) Man needs a brain transplant!

G.I. Jane for the PHOAR WIN.

^______^

Cool. Thanks for the update! :) We appreciate your hard work. :)

Oh dear lord. XD This is just too freaking funny.
Thanks for the translation! ^^

[karadin.livejournal.com]

He's not in Bunraku, she is, hence the link.

[karadin.livejournal.com]

I think the last film I saw her in was GHOST, but oh, Viggo Mortensen was in GI Jane, I'd watch just for that. ;D

[shinimegami21]

ooooh! Thanks for the translation! ^^;

yeah, I heard he writes strangely in his blogs lol

(can you tag this entry with 'translations'? Unless General K removed it if you did before posting)

usualy iya is like 'no' like 'iya da' but i think in this case it could mean 'wow' or how u put it is also good ('well') it's kinda hard to define when reading ^^;;

for the others..hmm...im guessing that kyuun sound is like expanding. i really hate those damn sound words! so maybe he's feeling such strong emotions (like laughter, warm-hearted scenes, etc) in a film? ooorr...ugh. i dunno what kyuun is exactly! >.<

dunno about that other one. :/

[maygray.livejournal.com]

oops, forgot about tags, just added, thanks for the reminder. ^_^

yeah, I'm having trouble with the casual style and can't bring out all the subtle expressions. They didn't teach me all these in intro Japanese! and the online dictionaries and translators aren't much help. T_T

totally agree with you on sound words, I have yet to find a good source with a comprehensive list of them and what they mean. do you know of any?

hehe, I think my brain just spazzed on kyuun and added two dots to the ki and took out the n so it became something like gyuu, *lol*

[shinimegami21]

I think i may have a link on sound words, but i have to check my bookmarks on my laptop. im at work right now. ^^; if not, i'll find something >.< hate them! but reading manga in japanese helps understand some lol

LOL gyuu!? makin me hungry! XD

[susan-11.livejournal.com]

Thank you for your effort ^_^

[koshien.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAH EVEN FUNNIER!

[haebin.livejournal.com]

Thank you for translating You-kuns blog-entry :)
I am happy that he enjoyed the movie so much ♥ =)

[mun-chairudo.livejournal.com]

Wow I'm confused and - of course - grateful.
grateful, because you translated this and shared this with us ^^
but confused because.. uh, so.. Gackt/You know Ashton?
Funny - because I really like Ashton..
When I heard Demi Moore was also involved in BUNRAKU I've already start hoping.. hey that'd be really great if they all know each other now ^^ (sort of).

Thank you!

[maygray.livejournal.com]

I didn't know this either, but as General Karadin kindly supplied, Ashton Kutcher is married to Demi Moore who starred in Bunraku with Gackt-sama, so that's probably how they got acquainted. ^_^

And you're very welcome!
