I've...
Started subbing on youtube.


What is the most common comment you see from international fans?
"I don't understand but I'm laughing anyway".
That happens a lot right?
I had always been afraid. But...
Since J-stars going on youtube and other SNS,
I believe I can start upload shorter clips on that account for everyone else to enjoy.

If i do happen to sub anything like full episodes of variety shows,
I'm still only going to be uploading here before FujiTV sue me or something though.
I will continue to sub johnny's, and they are most likely going to be hiding here in LJ still xP.


Feel free to subscribe to me! (even if you're not going to watch any of it)

I won't be focusing on any group or any thing in particular.
Just to share anything I think is funny or what other people who don't know j-entertainment will find entertaining.
 I hope J-entertainment can reach out to more people honestly.
There are so many deserving people there.

So....
As you guys know, I'm back at subbing.
I am currently in the process of timing 2 different episodes.

Did you guys watch produce 101 japan?
As fun as the members can be, 2 hours per episode omg. But! I watched it anyway! HAHAHA.
Honestly I don't really like watching such shows because I find it so sad.
Especially since there are so many good members in the top 20 that didn't debut.
I literally want to buy the people and debut Sato Raira, Uehara Jun, Tokonami Shion and Ando Tomoaki together.
You will get like the most elegant vocals any group could ever have.

Anyway, below are my thoughts on the members. Allow me to first say that these are just my opinions and it does not reflect anything. We just all have our own preferences.

Hi guys
Zebaboonking here.


I think you guys can already tell I've been more or less gone from the site?
But I think I should just explain to you what has been going on.
And to say I will not be back anytime soon.
I am adding people, and accepting members though.
And I'm still watching and listening to jpop.

So, I've graduated university with a degree and started working almost 2 years ago.
And i'm 24 this year. Here is the baboon's timeline goals. (just being my asian self)
To have my own car by age 25.
And to move in to my own house by age 27.
I know this may sound crazy to many of you, but it's attainable here in Malaysia.
But yes, I'll be struggling A LOT.

With Malaysia in recession, house prices dropped by SO MUCH.
And I've decided to invest in a property at this point.
But with my brother coming back next year from the UK, I will no longer have a car to use.
Which means i have to be able to get a car AND pay installments for my house at the same time.
Sounds insane? Yes, it is.
That is why I'm so focused on my career.

When I start paying for my house, I'll be left with less than half my salary for my monthly use.
That leaves me around rm800 (around 200USD). In malaysia I can still live if I am very trifty.
Like eating at home, and cooking food to bring to the office.
But my savings will be down to almost zero.
Again though, my contract with my company will be renewed in September.
Hopefully I can get a higher pay raise so I can live a little better.
Which is also another reason why focusing on my career this year is sooo important for me.
But well I do have savings over the years to help me achieve my goals. IT IS WITHIN REACH!
Let's see how it goes!

A tip for you. Spend what you have after saving, not save what you have after spending!

Lastly, I wish all of you good luck in what you're doing.
To those who are just here, Welcome and I hope you enjoy my releases.
To those who were here for a longer time, I'm sorry and I hope I've given you joy in the past.
I hope you'll still be around when I'm back!

Hi there,
Zebaboonking here




Super long overdue post.
I've started my new job! YAY!
By the way, since I posted that I came back from Japan,
People been asking me about Japan.
Since I just came back, if any of you plan to go and need some advice...
Since I did alot of research on cheapest wifi, transport and all,
I'll be glad to share and help you guys out so feel free to PM me.
Look at all the stuff I got omgee. (i actually researched popular stuff and made a check list)




Oh by the way here's the real thing.
Shinku. Yamada wrote the lyrics for it.
I just want you to know some stuffs are not exactly 100% the same as the japanese lyrics.
But we wanted to get the meaning of the song accross and
Sometimes it doesn't make too much sense if we wrote it in the same order.
And the song itself has some deeper parts, like about the petal 4 leaf clover.
If you don't know, the 4 petals symbolize love, faith, hope, luck.
And the lyrics stated that one of the leaf fell, which we assume he's talking about the "love" petal and all.
It is a pretty deep song so we needed to try to imagine a story plot for him and try to get the meaning across.
Sorry if it may not be right, we did our best.

Hi there,
Zebaboonking here.
And I'm just back from Japan.


I'm fine. I was in Tokyo when the Typhoon Jebi happened.
There was really really strong wind, but all good.
I went to Osaka a few days later, most of the things are as good as ever.
The only thing was the airport.
My flight was canceled, as Kansai Airport was still in bad shape.
But I manage to get the rescue flight back from Nagoya.

So there was this one thing that made me SOOOOO...
Ah a little regretful.
So I was walking alone in Harajuku,
And I was actually scouted.
So I was first asked if I'm interested in joining the entertainment industry.
Which as confused as I am, I was just like... "huh?"
Then I was asked again, "Are you interested in doing entertainment jobs?"
But sadly I am just a Malaysian there on a holiday, so I didn't get to try out for it.
So i told her I'm not a japanese. And she was so shocked. And asked where I'm from...
"Korea?" NOOOO! MALAYSIA HAHAHA.
Kinda regretful, since these chances that will probably only come once in a lifetime.
*and to those of you who are going to say stuff like "you must be cute...", i'm not.*

I had always been interested. If i'm not afraid of people around me laughing at me,
I probably would have tried youtube or something long ago.
Will you guys watch it if I ever do start? HAHAHA.
Oh well, I guess I shall just resume my normal architect life now.
Sad.

Hi I'm zebaboonking.


Another short video collab between yuurisub and I.
She had been working really fast at it to keep coming out with short timed file for me to translate.
I can't be the only one who really gotten myself into Kinpuri right!?

Oh you know what, I've decided I'll go to the johnny's shop this September to get some photos when I'm in Japan.
What do you call it? Photocards? I'm planning to go get some there.
So if you (Malaysians) want any photocards of any groups as well, do tell me.
Since I'm going to be lining up there anyway. NO PROMISES THOUGH!
CD and DVD also, since I'll be getting some as well, I do get discounts when buying from HMV, so... HAHHA.

Ruler of zebaboonkingdom,
Where I'm king and you serve,
Hello I'm zebaboonking.


Much delayed post. Like it was timed and was left there half way translated because I'm a lazy baboon.
So, Hari Raya is almost here right? HOLIDAY! Selamat Hari Raya!
And NEWS is really killing me right now, I hope they are okay.


My 2 top are in this episode.
And I can't help it, Yusuke is so excited about everything.
Challenge for you, please count how many times Yusuke actually said "so close" in this episode.

Ruler of zebaboonkingdom,
Where I'm king and you serve,
Hi I'm zebaboonking.


yuurisub has asked me if I would like to collab, to sub various shorter videos together.
I guess it is a good way to still entertain people while we are busy right?
Actually I have many half translated videos now. Like I get stuck on a sentence and change to work on another video.
I literally have 3 full episodes over 50% in the translation stage, like what's wrong with me. SORRY GUYS.

Do enjoy this 3 minute video while I struggle in the last month of my terrible job.
ANYWAY GUYS! I'm going to Japan this September.
Fellow Malaysians, I'll actually be ordering CD this early August as Choutokkyuu new single release 8/8!
I do have online membership of HMV so I can get some discounts,
And for DVDs and Bluray, (I think singles with MV counts too) if we purchase 2 or more,
We get additional discounts. Discounts varies between products though.
I will send it to my friend's house in Japan, it is free postage within Japan.
I will personally bring it back to Malaysia mid September.
You might ask, "Why don't you get it at the shops then?"
Apparently, with all the discounts I could get online, it'll be cheaper.
So, to those of you who wants to buy Singles, Albums, Concert DVDs you can inform me.
In terms of other goods, I'm not sure if I'll bother to line up to get into the Johnny's shop...
But i'll update you.
