In the comments left below video there are some random attempts at translations but there are obviously questions besides the yes or no portion that no one has tackled and I am beyond curious at this point as to what they are saying. haha!

  1. the entire thing? no way.


  2. starts with pleasantries, congrats and welcome to the show.

    comments about Kitajima (Japan's swimmer who got gold) and Uchi talks about how he admires Kitajjima for getting consecutive gold in both Athens and Beijing. His strenghth and descipline...etc

    Yes and No Qand A

    1 You would like to take a break from training

    2 Ever felt dizzy in the middle of your program doing all those flips

    3  When you received the medals, did you wonder which side was head and which the tail?

    4  Was training camp gruelling

    5 I believe I am the most hardworking and dedicated member of the team

    6 There is something i love other than gymnastics

    7  I got all A's in PE (in school)

    8  You improve muscle strength with spirit (everyone laughs because the question is illogical)

    9You wish beauty and grace should be taken into account (artisitc aspect of the sport should be included in the scores)

    10 You'll go for gold in London

    Tomi I'd like to take a break and rest coz i'm exhausted from training

    Uchi I cant coz i've got an upcoming competition in a week

    MC  (Q5)  you dont think you're the most dedicated member?

    Uchi  (modestly)  No I dont think I am

    MC   Lets ignore Q8 ...who made these?  its really not a good question...its illogical...( all laugh)

    MC to  Uchi  werent you an A student in PE?

    Uchi No I wasnt, never actually gave it my all...i guess i wasnt that serious in school.

    MC really? didnt your teacher ever tell you  try harder? you can do better than that!?

    Uchi Yes, actually he did...

    MC You think beauty and grace shpould be taken into account in the scoring?

    Tomi  Yes I've strived to improve the artistic aspect of the sport.

    Tomi about Uchi He'll get the gold for us in the next olympics, he's dedicated, and improved his skill and techniques, I look forward to see how far he can go in the sport

    Video Clips from other team mates

    About Tomi he's still evolving and in 4 years he'll still be in top shape to compete in London...he amazes me..even if he misses in practice he always manages to perfect his performance during the competition

    His strengths are not only physical but mental composure.

    About Uchi Hes a genius in the sport. dedicated to the training program, his only flaw is he's a food fad and hates veges...I keep telling him to eat all his vegetables but doesnt listen..  I hope he'll be careful to avoid injury and I wish him luck.

    MC  Hes right you know lets all eat our vegetables, ok?

    MC to Tomi So what about London?

    Tomi I'm just too beat to think about the next olympics...we'll see...

    Uchi about Tomi I've never seen anyone perform with the grace and beauty...and physical strenghth. I respect him.

    Tomi about Uchi He can do moves that I havent even been able to master, difficult flips and turns and his mid air control and reflex... He has everything I lack and I learn from him...

    Tomi (about future of gymnastics and a word to kids)  I hope you come and see us, learn more about gymnastics,  even if its just a simple back flip or turn. you dont ususally use your muscles that way in everyday life so it could be fun to try it

    I've been praised by other athletes (foreign) that the Japanese team are the most beautiful and graceful. I believe this quality is also as important  as technique. The future gymnasts should continue to protect the "Japanese Gymnastics style"

    i think Uchi is adorable...i wanna adopt him

    my teenage daughter's crazy about Tomi

    please dont call me silly for translating everything....i'm just a big fan

  3. nope i dont know japanese but i suppose its all bout boring stuffs anyway, not like the kind of things that i would REALLY want to know bout them

    but they are definitely the sexiest men alive on this planet

  4. they just said the sushi wasn't that good in beijing and they couldn't wait to go back to japan,,,
