Hi! I saw how desperately you guys were in search of the Jun's 10,000 word interview from Arashigoto. JK! So I decided to pick up the magazine and started to traslate! I haven't gotten that far but here is what I have. I'll be posting more and more later on. I hope you guys enjoy!!!

The streets were my playground:

When I was young I used to be incredibly spoiled because I was the youngest. I am very close to my sister who is 2 years older than me. Because I am shy I wasn’t able to talk to kids who I didn’t know. Even when I was in kindergarten, I stuck close to my sister, and I was usually mixed in with her friends. I remember I didn’t want　to go to kindergarten at first so I would cling to the gate and cry for hours. For 2 to 3 days I wasn’t able to talk to anyone. It’s the same way now, I’m not the type who’d come up to you and talk to you. I’m more of the type who waits until someone approaches me. It was like that thought elementary, middle and high school. If I'm thawed once, after that I'm really boisterous. That personality won’t fix itself, in all likelihood. During kindergarten, I had a crush on my teacher, she was really pretty. I used to always sit on her lap . She would call others by their last names but would call me by me first “Jun”. I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the reason why I started to like her. During the beginning of elementary school, someone told me that the teacher’s boyfriends name was “Jun”. I don’t know where I heard it from but. My grandmother gave me the name Jun (rich, moist, charming) But it was really supposed to be “Jun” (spelled differently with the meaning pure or innocent), it seems that my grandmother said to go with this one. I used to go everywhere with my family. Every year we would go to izu, or niigata, we’d go on a trip atleast oce a year. During my 2nd grade summer break, the　day before we were to go on our family trip I got hit by a truck. I went to the candy store which was close to my house and I bought a soda and I was shaking the soda and when I opened it my hands were really stick so I ran off on the streets to go wash my hands and got hit by the truck. I was dragged for metres ( I think it meant that he flew or something when he got hit by the truck) blood was dripping everywhere, I thought I was going to die. I remember apologizing frantically I don’t know why though. I had 27 stitches and was in the hospital for 2 months. I still have the scar. Because I was raised in the city centre there were a lot of both people and cars. Due to that, although there wasn't much greenery, with things like the alleys in between buildings and construction sites there were a lot of places to play. For something like tag the traffic lights were a main point, we'd cross to the other side right before it turned red, that kind of thing. That's dangeorus though (laughs). That was the way that we played. We often played with firecrackers too huh~. With those ne, it was interesting to put those under seesaws ne, because every time the seesaw touched the ground it would go [bam!]. There was one time when me and my friends were playing an old man through the firecracker at us. The city is a dangerous place. (laughs) I used to love sports. My dad was a soccer player so when I was in kindergarten I was in a soccer league. During elemtary school I was in a baseball team. When I saw Captain　Tsubasa I really admired the overhead kick, when I asked my father he showed it to me. That was something I thought　was Amazing. That was a moment when a child's heart that started to admire their father。In elementary school, I was a student president I did stuff that would make me stand out. When it was time to play I played and I did my homeworks and stuff. On Valentine’s Day I got a lot of chocolate. (laughs) The first time that I ever really liked a girl was in 6th grade, and apparentely she like me too, will she was the type who stood out too like me. While talking after school we both said something like I like you. But after seeing her playing with another guy I got angry and never talked to her again. I was young. (laughs) For last year’s coming of age celebration there was a hometown class reunion, I met that girl and we were like it’s been ages, talking about our childhood. Beyond that what was fun was hearing about all the various different paths my classmates were following. There were people who were working hard to pursue their dreams, people who went to good universities, there were even people who went overseas. There was also a guy who's a lighting assistant for Music Station, I was shocked. Until then I had absolutely no idea, since I was there to perform. He told me to give him a shout the next time I was on Music station. In our generation we always hear rejection about what we can and can't be but seeing my classmates working hard everyday to pursue their dreams so happily was an extremely happy feeling. I think class reunions are a great thing. But then, what everyone told me was your stubborness haven’t changed a bit and I’d reply because it doesn’t need to be. (laughs)

Here is the first section of it. More to come!
