Eh?

ã¡ã‚‡ã£ã¨ãƒ¼
Wait –

ã™ã¿ã¾ã›ã‚“。
Excuse me.


è¿‘è¡›å¸ãƒ¼ã•ん?
Tsukasa Konoe-san?

ãŠä¹…ã—ã¶ã‚Šï¼
It’s been a while!





Nice hat.

ã‚ã‚ã€ã‚りãŒã¨ã†ã€‚好ãã§ã™ã‹ï¼Ÿ
Why, thank you! You like it?

Oh, no, thank you.

ツカピョンã¯å…ƒæ°—ãã†ã ãªã€‚
Tsukapyon is looking well.

I’m sorry. My name is not Tsukapyon. I’m Uno. What’s your name?
ãˆï¼Ÿã‚ãªãŸã¨åŒã˜ã§ã™ã€‚ã¼ãã®åå‰ã‚‚è¿‘è¡›å¸ã§ã™ã€‚
Eh? We are the same. My name is also Tsukasa Konoe.

Tsukasa Konoe . Where have I heard that name before?

覚ãˆã¾ã›ã‚“ã‹ï¼ŸãŠç¥–父ã•ã‚“ã¿ãŸã„ã ãªã€‚
Don’t you remember? Just like an old fogey, huh?

Look, I’ve forgotten quite a few things, including my Japanese. Can you speak in English?
ã‚ã‚ã€ã”ã‚ん。英語ãŒã¸ãŸã§ã™ã€‚
Oh, sorry. I’m bad at English.

Shut up, you went to school in California. I read the brochures, you know. Don’t play dumb with me. What are you doing here, by the way?

This is where my path has taken me.

I don’t know what lies ahead, but I must journey on.

I hope I will find my own self as you have found yours, Uno-kun.

Here, it’s yours. è¿‘è¡›å¸ã‚’忘れãªã„ã§ã。
Don’t forget Tsukasa Konoe, okay?

ミスツーラã®ã“ã¨ãŒã‚“ã°ã£ã¦ã€‚
Do your best for Mistula.

I guess we’ll see each other again, Konoe-san.

The next time we see each other, I might not be the same. ãれã§ã•よã†ãªã‚‰ã€ã‚¦ãƒŽãƒ¼ãん。
This is goodbye, Uno-kun.


ãã£ã¨å¿˜ã‚Œã¾ã›ã‚“ã€è¿‘è¡›å¸ã€‚
I’ll never forget you, Tsukasa Konoe.

Because you’re such a dork.
Thank you very much, Shiro-kun, for proofreading my kanji. And to Janni, eL and all of those who love Uno and his former self, this is for you.

Aww!
Thank you, I wanted to understand the japanese.
That’s so cute, “Because you’re such a dork.”! ^^

He is, isn’t it?
By the way, here’s the link to Sam’s Livejournal:

Sugoi, Uno-san…
Anata wa kawaii desu!
June 22nd, 2006 - 01:28
Although I could read a bit of it, I could barely make out what the words meant (not to mention the fact that I have no idea how to read kanji). XD I applaud Joey’s artistic skills, and HOORAY FOR UNO PICTURES! XD
June 23rd, 2006 - 00:40
And so we have a translated version, YAY!
I had to post the Japanese version so you can get the feel of how Uno felt when he was assaulted by someone who wore the same clothes and spoke to him in a language he has long forgotten. In short, pa-epek. Hehe.
June 22nd, 2006 - 03:02
But he’s such a handsome, dork.
They can’t all be as phenomenal as you, Uno.
Even the original.
June 23rd, 2006 - 00:44
AAAAAAW THANK YOUUU. Joey said your boys rock and that I should feel flattered you leave messages for me. Also, we love your website.
June 22nd, 2006 - 21:09
Love the last line: “Because you’re such a dork.” XD Ruin the vaguely dramatic mood why don’t ya? ^^
June 23rd, 2006 - 00:46
I always do, don’t I? Oh and I miss Kael. Please tell him to come over!
June 23rd, 2006 - 14:47
XD We’ll see about that. Don’t tell me the house is lonely now because Manx is occupied with Lugosi and Veritas is pretending to be Shikai???
June 25th, 2006 - 01:01
Not lonely, more crowded and chaotic like, you know, the Monkey Forest. And that’s precisely why we need Kael.
June 23rd, 2006 - 00:47
I wish I could be as handsome as a Tsukasa.
June 23rd, 2006 - 00:53
They say there’s nothing Vicky Belo can’t do nowadays.
June 23rd, 2006 - 17:29
Have you heard about the probable side effects of face alterations on humans, Uno?
Ghastly!
June 24th, 2006 - 00:39
You’ve been watching too much Niptuck. She did great work on Kris Aquino!
June 23rd, 2006 - 13:23
Uno, you know, I have always disliked the visor whenever I see it on the original Tsukasa Konoe but it looks really good on your head. Huh. @_@
June 23rd, 2006 - 13:24
Oh, yeah… and where is Tsukasa Konoe going?
June 24th, 2006 - 00:42
To our home address! Where he will become someone else!
June 24th, 2006 - 00:44
Really? I’ve always hated this visor. It looks like the type worn by Korean tourists who walk around with white sneakers and black socks. Fashion faux pas!
June 24th, 2006 - 09:37
I understand all of it now. Yay. XD
Why, Uno. Being a dork is a Tsukasa default that Joey will never be able to get rid of. Ever. X3
June 25th, 2006 - 01:04
Bella Lugosi is an exception. Uno is a dork to the core.
June 25th, 2006 - 01:33
zomg *fangirls* Dorkiness rocks on in Tsukapyon!
(You are so lucky Joey!)
June 26th, 2006 - 11:08
And you aren’t?
Thanks, anyways!
June 28th, 2006 - 10:40
somehow, Uno makes dork-iness equate to something good.
and there’s a difference between Tsukasa Konoe and Uno…Uno’s eyes have more depth.:D btw, the background effects in the pictures are just…wow. eye candy. :3
And Uno, if you’re wondering who in blazes am I, I’m a long time fan, although this would be my first comment in your journal. expect more. :p

It’s more than just the eyes. It’s everything. I own a Tsukasa Konoe and he looks nothing like Uno. I think Joey did Tsukasa so much justice to these photos. He isn’t as expressive and alive in real life.
