Loosely Translated and Paraphrased from Japanese:

Sunday,
-- How did you like the fashion coordination in today's shoot?
- The clothes for today's shoot were very fresh! I like to put on a combination of my favorite pieces. Like a men's leather jacket on top of a dressy dress with a nice bag to match. With the clothes from the shoot, I like the black blouse and the skirt color is not too flashy.

-- Describe one song from your new album "Dear..."
- The song, "Party," is aimed at young females like us. It is meant to be played to enjoy the freedom of youth, even if your heart is full of loneliness. I try to live with a free mind and consider it positive. The song has a strong melody and powerful beat. Please listen to it!


Lina,
-- How did you like the fashion coordination of today's shoot?
- I think this style is closest to what I would dress like. Mainly the pants, which are easy to wear and can be used in both summer and winter. This summer I also bought a beret and a checkered coat, so my style is mainly boyish.

-- Describe one song from your new album "Dear..."
- "天上のメロディー/ Tenjo no Melody," it was my first time writing lyrics! I had to re-write the lyrics more than once. Dana said that she liked the previous lyrics and not the re-written ones. I told the producer "This is Dana's~." Since I am competitive, I took what was written and wrote the opposite. (laughs)


Dana,
-- How did you like the fashion coordination of today's shoot?
- I usually wear pants in photoshoots, and this one feels like a suit. I love the scarf and the arrangement of it in the shoot. I recently bought a leather jacket for winter and am excited just thinking about what I want to wear with it. ♪

-- Describe one song from your new album "Dear..."
- "少しでいいから/ A Little Good," it is a large scale musical piece with orchestral elements. It is a great song that uses good harmony to bring comfort. While practicing, I focused on singing with as much emotion as possible. Sometimes, I have a little too much pride and it can be hard to regret what I have previously said. There is some overlap with myself and the song, so I try to evoke those feelings. Please listen to it. ♪

Note: Stephanie is still not participating in promotional activities, which is why there is no interview for her.

-- Kashima: Also, on October 5th at ZEPP Tokyo in Odaiba, "Dream Drive Live" will take place in the Toyota Showroom. Of course there will be live music. As you know, one of the best performers will be there also, Tenjochiki.

- Sunday: Thank you, we're looking forward to it.

-- Kashima: This is the sixth year of the event, but the first time I will be involved in producing it. Every year we receive ideas from artists, and it has never led us in the wrong direct. We are in the arranging stages now, and are looking forward to the event.

- Dana: We are looking forward to it also. Will there be various types of cars.

-- Kashima: Yes. Surely we will have old cars racing new cars. I sat in one of the cars during a rehearsal.

- Dana: I want to be in an old racing car!

-- Kashima: The event is between 3:30 and 5:30 and features a demonstration of the collaborative performance of the racing cars. Admission if free starting October 5th. Then on October 25, the theme song to "Homeless Middle School Student" is released.

- Both: No!

-- Kashima: Haha. Here, the single will be released October 22 and the movie will open October 25. What did you think of the movie?

Good evening, this is Lina.
Everyone knows about our December 24th Ikspiari activities right?

Right now all the members are considering how to plan,
because that day is rather special.
In the end I think singing the songs everyone wants to hear would be best.

Hope everyone can tell us... [what songs they would like to listen to at the event]

More people tell us please,
Everyone is waiting for the requests.

11/28
This is director Dana, going out to Harajuku.

[skipped two lines here cause i couldn't understand them]
We received everyone's requests~, Thank you~ they'll definitely be considered and used as references~
Now we're discussing with the team, really looking forward to the event~

Ah! Right right,
少しでいいから (Sukoshi De Ii Kara/ A Bit of Good), everyone hurry and download it.

11/29
This is big sister, who has caught a little cold. [I'm assuming it's steph]
Although I took a flu shot in October

it has turned cold recently, so it seems like I was still able to catch a cold.
Everyone also needs to be careful.

Before, Lina mentioned the new album
Today the covers of the album finally come out
Let everyone see them!

A while ago in the Gree blog we reported to everyone at Mount Fuji

The closeness to the mountain portrayed a natural feeling [this line is probably really off]

Regarded to be Tenjochiki's
new concept?

All the team members really like it. ^^;

What did everyone think of it????

We already saw the PV,
Really...
Want to hurry and let everyone see it.
Everyone please look forward to it~

Loosely Translated and Paraphrased from Japanese:
Topic: Do you name your car?

-- Kashima: Today we would like to talk about the car culture of the country. For example, in Japan people change little things in their car. Maybe the interior, the sound system, the navigation... Do you guys experience this also?
- Sunday: It might be a little reversed for us.
- Dana: In Korea, cars are sold to be available at a good price. But, if you want to impress your friends and family, something has to change or become shiny.
- Sunday: On the other hand, some simple cars are more popular.

-- Kashima: Is that so? I know I change things to my preference, do they do that too?
- Dana: Some people do different things, but it is mostly the same.

-- Kashima: I see. I find that a little surprising.
- Dana: A bare car (one without all the bells and whistles), rides carefully. You cannot permit any scratches.

-- Kashima: Is that so?
- Dana: Don't you think so?

-- Kashima: Little scratches may happen right? What happens to those who cause the scratches?
- Sunday: Well, there are some people who care more about their cars than their girlfriends. If the girlfriend leaves trash in the car, their will be a quarrel. I have heard stories... (laugh)
-- Kashima: I see.
- Sunday: It is a very interesting story.
-- Kashima: It seems a little overboard though.
- Sunday: The entire joke revolves around the quarrel.
-- Kashima: I don't even take care of my car that much.

- Dana: In Japan, do you all name your cars?
- Sunday: (laughs)

-- Kashima: No... not often.
- Dana: Really? It's also not that common in Korea. Usually it is the young boy who just graduated and is going with his parents to by a car. He takes great care in picking a name, which is usually in English.

-- Kashima: Really, it can be anything?
- Dana: It's the same as naming a dog. You go around asking, "is this a good name?" to other people. The process is the same as naming a dog.

-- Kashima: Give me an example of a name.
- Dana: I have a friend who named their car, "Shelly." It was a white car.
-- Kashima: Shelly.
- Sunday: Forget that, I also have a friend who named their car.
-- Kashima: What was the name?
- Sunday: A really simple, generic name: "Buzz."
-- Kashima: (laughs)
- Sunday: Otherwise known as, "The Buzz Inside." (I believe she is talking about the sound of the engine)

-- Kashima: It's a cute name. Let's say you're going for tea with your friends, you can just say, "Let's take Buzz."
- Dana: Haha.
-- Kashima: Like, "Yesterday, Shelly got a little scratch."
- Dana: Yes! I would say, "It's raining, I'm worried about Shelly."
-- Kashima: It's nice.
- Sunday: It's like naming your daughter.
-- Kashima: I think I'm going to name my car.
- Both: Ha!

-- Kashima: One may also ask, now that I can get a car, what kind of car should I get?
- Sunday: I like old cars. Something classic.
-- Kashima: As in the 1960s? Not for me, I was only born 20 years ago.
- Sunday: It's usually the same with other people. We usually don't like the same car, but I may have changed.

- Dana: I'm similar to Sunday, in that I like classic cars. Not as old as the '60s though. A four door white car is nice.

This song is a ballad and expected to be the title track for the second album.

- Dana: Japan, the “Rainbow Bridge.” South Korea, “Hangan.” I like the river.
- Sunday: When shopping in Japan, Harajuku, Shibuya, Daikanyama. There are turist attractions in Kamakura right? I can relax and go to the hot springs there. Kamakura is off the Sea of Japan, giving the city a unique feel, there are a lot of Buddhist statues and attractions, that it can be a good place to relax and think.
-Stephanie: I like Hiroo. There are a lot of cute cafes and foreigners. Many speak English so I can relate to them.

-- No. 15: What are your strengths and weaknesses? You always seem so cool to me, so I want to know your true faces. (12/05/2006)
- Lina: I think one of my strengths is that I do something through to the end. My weakness is that I am indecisive.

- Dana: The first time I came to Japan, I had fruit juice from a convenience store. It was very good. If you go to South Korea, you should try the Shin Dong Dan Toppoki. But, it is really spicy.

-- No. 18: What animals do you liken yourselves to?
- Lina: Mouse.
- Dana: Chick. (Or at least that is what Sunday says.)
- Sunday: Cat.
- Stephanie: Cat. (I’m like a cat in the face.)

-- No. 19: Tenjochiki, do you like animals? What about cats and dogs? (01/19/2007)
- Lina: I like both cats and dogs. They each have a unique charm.
- Dana: I like dogs more.
- Sunday: I like all animals.
- Stephanie: I like cats and dogs. Now, I’m too busy so keeping one would not work. Bummer!

- Sunday: I particularly like the music and food. Matter of fact, I have food in my mouth right now!
- Stephanie: Events in Japan have very good sound systems, so I like that. We are able to have thorough rehearsals.

-- No. 3: Recently, you all have been really good in Japanese. What were the first words you learned? (10/16/2006)
- Lina: This is an inside joke, but the first words I learned were greetings. Greetings are still a lot to say!

-- No. 5: What was your first impression of the other members and how has it changed since then? (10/23/2006)

Knowing her more, she has a deep side also. My first impression of Stephanie was that she was cool and had a bright personality. She has grown into more of a "sister" type friend to me.
- Dana: I have been friends with Sunday since we were in Junior High! She is very bright and has a cute personality. Lina is the encourager of the group. Stephanie is the youngest and works very hard.
- Sunday: My first image of everyone was that they were cool and very strong also. After working together longer, we have warmed up to each other and have a lot of fun.
- Stephanie: I thought it would be hard for me since everyone had debuted already and were my seniors! Since working together more, everyone has a gentle heart and we get along nicely.

Note: Due to the decrease in activities of Tenjochiki in November and my personal procrastination in life, I'm going to try to translate all of the girl's fan Q&A's from their old homepage. I'll do 10 at a time.

Loosely Translated and Paraphrased from Japanese:
For those of you who visit the website you will know that the recent PV and jacket shooting has been recently completed for...

the January 7, 2009 release of the second album!

The new album will feature "Here," "Stand Up People," "Near 〜thoughtful・1220〜," and a couple of other new songs.

We are trying something new for the new PV meaning, the focus is going to be on ballads! We really feel the ballad image suits Tenjochiki well, and will continue with this focus.

Currently, the members and staff are deciding on an album title. When we figure one out, we will be sure to post it here!

(Very) Loosely Translated and Paraphrased from Japanese/ Korean:
(Skipped the beginning, since it is the same as every other interview)

-- We want to know more about Tenjochiki, let's start with Stephanie.
Dana: Stephanie is a person with two sides: sexy and tough.
Sunday: She's a chameleon (laughs). Also the best dancer out of all of us.

-- Flexible in dance performances and an attraction of Tenjochiki. Now Dana.
Stephanie: One of the gags of the group is Dana's vocal impersonations. She always has us laughing.
Dana: I like to make people laugh.

-- Well, greet us in a different voice.
Dana: Not now... (laughs)
Sunday: She is also a tough person who can make you feel shame!! (She's talking about how Dana is usually tough and blunt on people)
Dana: I do not have this image while singing in front of people (laughs).

-- You clearly don't have that image in the "Here" PV.
Lina: But we were just being characters, we are still like that (she means, they are their normal selves.)

-- Onto Sunday...
Lina: Sunday is in charge of the cuteness of Tenjochiki, but she is very cool also.
Stephanie: She is responsible for the bokeh (laughs). (Bokeh, is a term referring to the part of a photo which is out of focus or blurry. Pretty much the background blur of a photo. Long story short, fourth dimensinonal.)
Dana: Sunday is a female who likes the skeletal designs (Jack Skeleton), jumping around to music, talking in a loud voice, and has great style.

-- And lastly, Lina.
Dana: She is the oldest, but always concedes to us who are younger... But occasionally she puts us in order.
Lina: The three of them have O type blood, so they overwhelm me at times. (Lina has type A blood)
Sunday: Lina is very nice and has a warm personality.
Stephanie: She cooks good food.

-- Lina sounds like an ideal wife!
Stephanie: It's because she cooks well.

-- So far, you all have done mostly dance numbers, how did this new style come about?
Lina: We knew Cliff Edge was a hip hop group, but it wasn't until we matched our harmonies together in the studio did the song really come about. We believe this is the beginning of a new style for Tenjochiki.
Stephanie: Our goal is always to make good music. Until now, our songs have had a faster beat. But this time, we really want the people to listen to the lyrics. We have put in both our feelings and emotions.

-- This song also seems to mix the thoughts of both males and females.
Dana: This is good! The lyrics were for "Homeless Middle School Student," but go much deeper than that. The lyrics that Cliff Edge wrote are a representation of how we have been living. Since we are not in Korea now, this song helps us to think about our friends and family not with us.
Sunday: The song is about thanking your friends, family, and all the people around you. Just listening to the melody helps you to remember them.
