NOTE: I do not own anything, I just made a translation.
Shigeoka:
I am going to manage my physical condition. Are you sleeping properly? Are you eating your meal? Our parents got worried. I am happy to be with these seven people, Akito, Hama-chan, Kami-chan, Ryusei, Nozomu and Junta.
I think that these seven people will do something fun. If you do not mind, please come to the concert! Thank you very much.
Kiriyama:
Thanks to everyone ... I'm sorry I'm about to cry... I would like to say this since where here are Kyocera (dome) and since I watch each person properly, I think that I would like to make everyone happy by matching the power of all members and the Kanju Staff. I had lived for only 27 years but I would like to make it the best day and to think that we had received a lot of love, thank you very much!
I seriously thank all of you for meeting us here. Although I had decided to cry. I want to convey my sincerest gratitude to everyone but, I cannot find the words to say. I want to come back here again. Thank you very much!
Nakama:
Honestly, I thought I won’t be able to see this scenery eversince we had debuted. I had tried to run away from a lot of things. But, if I had ran away, I won’t be seeing these penlights shining a big light* and thought that I should not run away.
We are here because you’re also here. Even if there are times that we’re having misunderstandings, even before; it’s one thing that cannot be changed. I will go forward with these light and I think, I can do anything/everything with everyone. So, please walk with together with Johnny’s WEST.
Kamiyama:
Every Jasmine was really nice. We wouldn’t be able to meet you if we didn’t enter Jimusho. I am pleased with myself every time I work and I am sincerely thankful for receiving a lot of love and happiness from everyone even though Johnny’s WEST we’re fools.*
There are times that we get confused whenever we stand on stage and that’s tough but, as Johnny’s WEST – we give our best. The connection between us will not change even if there’s a new style we do whenever we meet and I want to do this forever.*
Fujii:
I am still amazed whenever I see this scenery and* I think not everyone can see this, this scenery where everyone here comes to support us – it’s a good thing. The people here are my saviors just like in Rental Kyuuseishu.*
I thought that all the people here were my/our saviors and also during the time of the debut, the people and the members who supported me – I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that I am here to stand here together with these seven people.*
Hamada:
The title 「24 kara kansha todokemasu」 is dedicated to the fans, to the staff, to our family and friends – we are giving our sincerest thanks to everyone who taught us a lot of things even during the Shochikuza (plays), with the view that we had from the back going forward – I didn’t knew that this could be amazing.*
Even though we’re always being playful, it was really fun. All these had become the best memories, and now that I’m 28 years old, I would like to live (my life) to the fullest. In addition to these, the dome, I sincerely thank you all for bringing me here.
Kotaki:
It is wonderful to say that in my life when I was 12 years old, I didn’t expect to stand here with these seven people... I think that this is destiny.* I’ve met lots of people; there are sad goodbyes and also deep emotions. I am happy to have this seven people in front of everyone.
We really cannot stand here with only our strength alone, I appreciate your support and I am happy that I saw this scenery with you all. Thank you very much.
December 25 [first show] (messages)
Shigeoka:
I really thought that the dome performance is ahead of the others, and that it was still early that I was able to stand up here just in the third year after our debut; I thought it would take more time.
The moment I stood here at Kyocera dome, if you imagined that you did it, it would be even more.* Oh camera-san, thank you for pulling back (the camera). More! Want more? 「Then I’ll do more! 」
From now on, I hope to continue walking together with the members and the staff.
Kiriyama:
Three years after debuting as Johnny’s WEST and 14 years have passed since I entered Johnny’s Jimusho. There we’re struggles in the past 14 years, but as I recall those years, it is only a matter of smile.
Because the members and everyone showing their best smile, it’s wonderful to remember this,* it was so fun and I enjoyed it with a smile.
Nakama:
Even though we are all stupid men, all the things we receive,* we will return it twice. Even those who could not come here today, we will not leave anyone (and give it all).
Even if there are people who’re left behind, we will hold onto them – no matter how huge it is, even if it’s a little bit far in the dome, distance will always be constant.
Please walk together with us, closer than any Johnny’s group.
Kamiyama:
There are many more sceneries that I want to see with everyone.
There are other places not only in Osaka, there are also larger venues, and with the help of everyone – I was able to come here.
I will always do my best for those people who are sincerely cheering for me from the bottom of their hearts.
I think, today was a nice Christmas present. From now on, if there’s a chance... Yeah! Please come again.
Fujii:
During this live, there are many times that I’ve looked at this venue.
We’re the same as Kanjani8-san who had debuted here and stood at this stage of Kyocera Dome. But at that moment, Kanjani8-san was amazing. The fame isn’t there, its existence.*
I was able to come so far supported by everyone. I will try my best to see more and more of this scenery,* I’ll be looking forward to it.*
Hamada:
Here at Kyocera Dome, to be in this stage where our seniors have come up. There’s anxiety, but, it’s fun being in this group!* From the point wherein we say that 「come on, it’s ok~!」 and, I won’t forget everyone’s smiles until I die. From now on, I will always enjoy this and it’s this concert that made me think of it.*
Kotaki:
It is really a miracle to stand on this stage with these 7 people.* When I’m still a Junior, I can’t really get close with everyone and I thought that they don’t like me. And I, together with Shige, Kami-chan and Ryusei, us three had walked together on the same group, and also, those who are in the top of Kansai Juniors, Akito-kun, Junta-kun and Hama-chan.
There are times that we had competed as brothers and now as members. Thank you for being with me and raising me like this.
December 25 [final] (messages)
Shigeoka:
I can’t say it well but, when our live reaches with everyone’s feelings, like this, when our shoulders bumped into each other, I say it’s a pleasant live (performance).*
Now and the times that I stand on various stages, the power of your support, I also feel this power unto myself.
My family, members, staff-san, juniors, fans, and the important people, I will keep on working, be honest, be free for these live (performances).
Kiriyama:
I entered at the age of 12. (During that time, there is) This guy who has a loving character and does not dislike anyone named Hamada Takahiro. I guess this man will do whatever until he dies; he’s a plus minus understanding partner—Nakama Junta. And this guy who I think I can’t compete, best entertainer—Kamiyama Tomohiro.
And now, to anyone who can see this ikemen, this ikemen but a little missing one, the cute – Fujii Ryusei. The WEST number one mood-maker, Shigeoka Daiki. This child who is the youngest character that who seems to protect (everyone) with all his might, Kotaki Nozomu. These are the people I’ve met, the seven of us who had certainly come and created this seven colors. There are times I say that I won’t do it but being with them together at the same pace, to walk with the same steps, looking together with the same views.
From now on, please stay with us forever.
Nakama:
I think being here at Kyocera Dome was a Christmas present from everyone. To stand here is the best gift I’ve received from everyone.
Hama-chan said, there are goals I want to achieve and as the venue becomes larger, there might be distances. But, my heart is on the far side and no one can put it.*
We are going to take your hand. In Johnny’s, there are a lot of groups that have the closest relationships. Please believe us and follow us. Are you ready?
Everyone’s smile is the best. I believe that we’ll absolutely get to the top, let’s grow greatly together.
Kamiyama:
The title 「24 kara kansha todokemasu」, as the title said 「thanks」, we’re really grateful that we stand here because of everyone who is embracing us and watching us. I got scolded by the staff, and I am grateful for that. To the back-up Kansai Juniors, the excitement pile up in my head.
Above all, the members, are we not rainbow colors? These rainbow made me feel relieved and warm. I feel relieved watching Johnny’s WEST become such a big presence. Let’s see various sceneries together.
Fujii:
Hey, I will talk while crying, can you listen? Today was fun, right? *crying* I haven’t cried at work and I don’t want to cry.
I feel happy that you came on such an important day as Christmas. I haven’t talked about this opportunity and about many things. I have tried to give up during the time of the debut because everyone is headed towards the front.*
I appreciate the people around me, the members, the fans, staff-san, and our family. I see it now, these 7 people from Kansai Juniors, staff-san and the fans who cover this venue is such a happy moment in my life.
Hamada:
We are supported by many people, hence, this concert was made. Hence, this costume had two shoulder pads on it.
I really love this and I hope I am earnestly supported by many people.
After this, if you see my nose had sniffled, please do scold me if you’re angry (for this).
Even though we are distant (from you), it won’t change anything. I am an ordinary man, and I also wanted to do enjoyable things. Let’s have some fun if there’s a chance.
Kotaki:
8 ½ years ago, I came here without knowing which is the left and which is the right, I didn’t knew where’s the rehearsal hall. I always forget it but, my mother always asked for it (directions). When I met 7WEST,* I looked at Kami-chan as my senpai. The guy whom I didn’t understand at all, Shige and Ryusei who invited a 12 year old like me to play (with him).
At that time, I didn’t get along well with Hama-chan, Junta, whom when I’ve met was cooling his fracture on a bucket and met Kura,* now, where standing on this stage.
Honestly, to end a performance at midday as Kansai juniors, and to the fans, to the staff-san – I am proud to stand on this stage. I am happy that I could meet you, and I’ll be happy to meet you again. Thank you for supporting this 7 weirdo’s.
Thanks for reading. ;)
