Zin Blog~ Path to Tokyo

[maikaru]

So, I think a lot of you saw the first Zin blog~
He updated this last week.. I didnt have a chance to translate until now.
So you know, Ayu and Team Ayu members are always looking at Zin Blog now..
So I thought I could continue the translations.
So here is part 1 of the series~
the last one, if you could remember, was just a prologue.

(A study which shines of sunlight coming through the trees.)



(Yeast ・・・ broken into pieces.)


The 87 year old Old Man Zin who lights a fire in a pipe.


(Fuuu~~~)


The Old Man Zin who smokes tabacco a lot.







"Well this and that is something that is not more than 60 years ago.
So nostalgic."






The old man started to speak alone.



"So, before, I only talked up until the time I appeared in the TRF Live.


"After that, there was this kind of thing..."





The Legend of the Path to Tokyo, Episode 1.







One day, right after I stood on the stage of TRF,


I held onto the powerful longing through the world of the professionals.



The me that was merely 18 years old, without finding the right method,

Danced recklessly.


Even though I said it long ago,


If we're talking about Saporo, then as I thought being a pro dancer while keeping eating is,

Really a problem.


So the antenna are always stretched out, looking for a chance (to eat.)







I continued in TRF, and the chances continued.



Those times, there was a TV program which TRF's Sam did.


Is it that thing called "RAVE2001??"


From the past, it seemed like there was a lot of dancing programs, but,

that "RAVE2001" was our generation's golden age.


And moreover, thanks to the fact that Sam did this,


Even though it was a late night program, it became a very famous program.



The time that I went to do the TRF lives,

There was also a large meeting in Sapporo for that RAVE.



I always appeared there without fail.


The did a dance team which was 4 people, including me and SHU-YA


Anyways, it's an urgent story, so I didn't have the time, and I was in a hurry,


But, that time's members who were dancing together

Were thought to have been thinking in their hearts that this is a chance.


At least, I thought that. I frantically was practicing with that feeling.



And, it was a great win at the Sapporo big convention.

I won a chance to be able to dance in Tokyo.




In the next week was a big convention in Tokyo.


There was no time to be celebrating, as I was making new material,


Now, to Tokyo!

The performance place was the now gone Velfarre club in Roppongi Hills.


When we reached the place,


Unexpectedly, on the program On Air the day before,

The people who were lined up said "Oh! Isn't that the team from Hokkaido?"

And I have the memory of thinking "Well the influence of TV is great, right?"


And, in those Tokyo finals were members who were quickly qualified.


Of course, Subaru-sama was also there.



Those times, we didn't know each other, and it was only a one sided knowlede through watching him on TV, so,

I thought, "Wow!!! That's Subaru! He's so cool."

Well with that wonderful honors,


Us, who were representatives of the rural without throwing away anything,


We showed our dance completely.


When we did that,

From Sam,

We heard the praiseful words "The foundations were put in place, and is perfect."


I was REALLY happy.

Even though in the end we couldn't completely win,

We could come back with a large and awesome experience.



、
We returned to Hokkaido,

The thoughts in regard to Tokyo became even stronger,

And was a time were I would think about the here-on-out things of the future.

My luck was changing.


My chance continued.


I was in touch with the staff at that dancing program,

"I wonder if you can't come to Tokyo one time,
There is someone who wants to meet you."

What? What is this?


While I kept thinking that, when I went to tokyo,

A major production person..

"There's a big dance boom so can you not try to do some things here?"

My luck was perfectly good.

But, in addition to my luck being good, everyone had a selfconfidence which was doing things with great effort.

So, I accepted it humbly,

So my, Shu-ya and another person went to Tokyo.

Truthfully, In those numbers of months, the events that changed my life continued,

It was the very limits that I would flow along that stream, but


My parents also said I am leaving abruptly,
And it seemed a little lonely.

But I certainly didn't want to lose this chance, so
I finished everything I needed, and challenged the fight in Tokyo.

While hiding the fact that this might be the beginning, in my chest.

It was my 19th summer.


Next time, "Truly going to Tokyo" Volume.





I am perfectly writing this in the style of a novel.

Publisher people~ I am always waiting for contact!!!

I hope you enjoy this one~ and I will bring you more if you want it~ ^^)
I also hope you could appreciate him and SHU-YA more,

And if you could find any mistakes,
Please tell it to me~ thanks.

Thank you so much!

He really worked hard to be the dancer that he is today... so is Shu-ya and Subaru. I have the utmost respect for all of Ayu's dancers now!

[maikaru]

A~ I wrote "book" instead of boom~
I am sorry

[waterballoon]

Ahaha... hmm oh yah at first I didn't understand what was happening with all the 'old man ZIN smoking tobacco' thing... but I realized that he was imagining himself to be an old man and recounting his days... he's really so funny!

[rakeru]

interesting story! he has a cute sense of humor ^-^

[habelie]

Hehe...he's inspiring ^^
Thank you very much for the translation!!

Velfarre...? Although it's quite expected since theyre all under avex, I guess it's pretty cool that part of his growing career had a place there too, like the way Ayu was found there by Max.

[ihulk2]

Aha.. Always the sign of a good writer and translater..

Water slowly brought to boil, the plot thickens and the foundation/locations are set !

Its like olden days when newspapers carried excerpts of best-selling authors new books in daily installments.

We anxiously await the next chapter...
