So this year Jack was so nice that on anniversary of Jack & Marutan first meeting, he unlocked his old blog entry about this meeting. He some time ago hide all notes, because he stated he's shamed about all that old stuff. Anyways, I allowed myself to translate it!
I think everybody know about it already but
Marutan came to Osaka at 22nd [March] and we spent some time together!
We know each other since 2006 and... it took 4 years until we met each other, somehow ∑(☉д☉；)
Lately a lot of utaite-san take part in live & other events and the extent of possibilities is unbelievably broader than in the past days.
It became more normal to meet up and have fun together, but I don't participate in Nico Nico related LIVES and I hadn't ever met with anybody.
I believe it's good enough to be able to take part in all this with my voice-only.
(this intention of mine hadn't changed even now, I won't participate or go to any LIVE event)
Hovewer, I've always wanted to meet with Marutan, but there were so many obstacles...
But I think I was overexaggerating too much! Haha.
And this time too, I think I probably would not dare to make first step, but Tolie-san and Choucho-san pushed me from behind to do it.
Finally... Finally I was able to tell Marutan "Let's meet up!" (*´▽｀*)
At appointed day I was so nervous from the very morning I got stomache.
I went out early, but the bus was late due to traffic jam and I got impatient.
I arrived at Umeda but I didn't know where is exactly appointement place so I got lost...
I finally found that place, Marutan must be just right around the corner! Thinking about this made me even more weirdly nervous.
J: A... Maruta....n? AAAAAAaaaaaaa!
M: AAAAAaaaaa! Doumo desu! [Hello!]
Or something like that, because I don't really remember it due to being too nervous then haha.
But I believe we quickly started to talk like we normally talked with each other.
After that we went to karaoke I reserved ealier and when I heard Marutan's singing voice I thought "Uwaa to be able to hear this singing voice I know so well, but this time in the same room!" and somehow I was deeply moved by that ☆
We also called Tolie-san and reported about various things and while he was still on phone, we sang Magnet with passion (*´▽｀*)
(without Marutan's hard-breathing sound)
Tolie-san was also super happy about our meeting and even thought we just wake up him with call, his tension was MAX (*´▽｀*)
We spent 2 hours at karaoke, but it wasn't enough, so we wanted to prolong our reservation, but it wasn't possible, since a lot of people were waiting already (ﾉ_･｡) So we went to drink bar, I ordered 1 glass of orange juice, but wasn't able to drink it all
[...he probably refers they were talking so much he forgot to drink it lol...]
After that we went to search for some cafe to sit and calm down a little, but we were mostly wandering aimlessly.
I should've know my home area better and find some place beforehand!! （ ﾟ ρ ﾟ )
There was supposed to be some Saizeriya (italian food restaurant) close and since Marutan agreed on that, we went here but---
IT WAS STRANGELY ALMOST FULLY OCCUPIED
We followed to the seat and we had other guests from the both sides, I thought it would be nice to play MonHun or Bomberman here.
J: We can't play it here, can we? Haha.
M: Ee? Let's do it! We're otaku!
It was so refreshing I felt so happy (*´▽｀*)
[...totally not sure about this part...]
But it was interesting how when we started to play it, the surroundings didn't matter to us anymore!
We totally plunged into playing Bomberman (๑≧♉ฺ≦)
We also played a bit of MonHun and it felt the same as when we were playing it at broadcast!
And just like that, the time of Marutan's departure...
We walked together as far as to Shin-osaka, but it was certainly very lonesome when we had to bid farewell (ﾉ_･｡)
After bidding our farewell and I was already riding in a train, I soon got message from Marutan:
"I'm so happy I was able to meet with you today! Let's have fun together sometime again!"
I felt like crying anew.
Next time we will have fun together all night long!
[.....]
I'm really so happy we could meet.
It was so much fun. Trully, so much fun.
And Asamack listeners were also happy, just like me.
After seeing all comments later, I just cried again.
I may had done kaikoku but I'm still tsuchinoko Jack, so please take care of me from now on again (*´▽｀*)
Translation notes:
kaikoku - litterally opening of the country to the world. This word id used especially by Jack about his first meetings with various people, since he's very hard to convince & hardly anybody knows him.
tsuchinoko - japanese mysterious creature, which is believed to exist, but none can say that for sure. In Jack's case, it's his nickname since he's the same - everybody knows he exists, but hardly anyone ever saw him.
