For anyone interested, turbos86 has been translating Reina’s Five Star radio show over at H!O. I don’t know how long he / she has been doing this because I never venture into the Reina thread, but they now seem to be getting posted on the front page of the forum. Even though I don’t listen to her show, I thought I’d have a quick read through one just to see what kinda things she talks about. Well…I had only read the first part of the translation when I found myself deeply amused by what happened between Reina, Jun Jun and a picture of Reina in the bath!!!

Confused? Intrigued? Well I’ve posted the relevant part of the translation so read on to find out more ^^

Tanaka Reina’s radio show FIVE STARS: 2008.11.26 (translation by turbos86)

Just recently, on my day off, I had an urge to take a bubble bath since I haven’t had one for a long time. You know how it’s used to relax and soothe your muscles but somehow I thought, “Let’s see how much bubbles I can make!” I was kicking so hard in the bathtub, the foam almost overflowed out of the bath. I was having so much fun, screaming out “Waaaa~”, and then I thought, let’s take a picture. So I had bubbles on my head and I took the pic. Then, I thought, “Let’s send the pic to the other members (mobile phone mail).” But then I thought, isn’t it awkward to send people something weird like this, especially on your day off. They’ll be confused as to reply or not to something like this. However, at that moment, I was so excited, I thought whatever, let’s send it out anyways. First, I sent it to Gaki-san, whom I thought, probably will have the best reaction. It turns out, it was totally the opposite and she just replied with, “Eh, it’s a bubble bath.” Not much reaction from her, so that failed. From Sayu, who talked a lot about me on her own show. Um, I have a solo song called “Kira Kira Fuyu no Shiny G”. She said “Looks like you’re all covered in Shiny G, let’s work hard for tomorrow’s concert!” The best reply was from JunJun. Like, “Uh oh! It’s making me imagine a lot of things ♥♥♥” The next day, when I asked her about it, she said she really imagined a lot of things looking at that picture. So I asked her what she imagined. “For example, Tanaka-san being beside me…” So I was like, “Wait a second! You were imagining us in the bath together?” And she was like “Yeah!” Then I replied with, “Are you perverted?!”

I seriously lol’d so hard when I was reading that. How freaking cool is Jun Jun eh? Just willing to come out and tell Reina that she imagined them both sharing a bath! I know it’s not unusual for people to bathe together in Japan, but I think that it’s more reserved for Onsen and members of your own family. Although I could be wrong. I wonder what Jun Jun’s reply was to Reina’s ‘Are you perverted?!’ I would love to know ^^

I didn’t continue with the rest of the translation because I was too busy day dreaming about what I had just read. But I agree with what Shirow said to me – it is a pity that it was Reina and not someone else. Dunno who though…maybe Eri? *dreams*

If anyone wants to read the rest of the translation, head on over to H!O. Other than that I just have one thing to say…
