Japanese – English Translators Recruitment May 23, 2009
Posted by glacial07 in EXsub.add a comment
Hi!! I just want to “advertise” for recruitment for translators who will work with me to sub EXILE videos. Our forum and blog will celebrate its anniversary this July / August (1st year for the forum and 2nd anniversary for the blog) There are a lot of EXILE videos that we want to sub but the problem is the lack of translators, like Mecha Ike SP which has been our project for almost 3 years. More than half of the SP has been translated and it will be a waste if it will not be finished.

shooqie is already helping us but still one translator is not enough ^^;; (So far the proposed plan to sub are: Mecha Ike SP, 6 nen me no shinjitsu, Kin Sma SP, and some episodes from EXH / EXILE GENERATION)If you are interested, don’t hesitate to contact me through commenting on this post or through my email (witchblade.eaxis@gmail.com). No experience on subbing is required as I will guide you how to. Remember this is a FREE FANSUB work. The only incentive I can give to translators is the exclusive uploads of EXILE media.
Let us help to spread EXILE fandom to the English speaking fans ^^
Thanks!
MATSU rides the waves in “Long Caravan” July 8, 2009
Posted by moshmoshi in New Releases.add a comment
EXILE member Toshio Matsumoto (34), better known as MATSU, has been given the lead role in the movie “LONG CARAVAN,” scheduled for release this October. MATSU has some acting experience with “Gekidan EXILE,” but this will be his first acting role in a film.
Appearing under his real name, Matsumoto will play the comical main character, an unemployed surfer who takes a road trip with his friends, meeting and parting with various people along the way. One part of the story involves him making a bold confession to a girl with whom he falls in love at first sight.
MATSU, who suffers from deteriorating eyesight due to Behcet’s disease, frequently serves as the “comedian” among EXILE’s members. With that cheerfulness, he was chosen to take on the starring role in “LONG CARAVAN.”
Having no experience in surfing, MATSU trained extremely hard for two weeks. With a strong sense of balance attained through dance, he was quickly able to ride the waves.
Go Shichitaka (”Top Caster,” “Meitantei no Okite”) is directing the movie. Miki Fujimoto, Shigeru Izumiya, Jay Kabira, Mika Mifune, and Chisato Morishita will also appear in the film.
