*--Translator's Notes--*

[1] Why does he have to say "male virgo"? Could he perhaps be leading to something... (just a note on how odd it seems.)

[2] Bantamweight and featherweight are both boxer terms for body weight. Bantam is between 51 and 54kg (113-119lbs), and feather is heavier than that at 54-57kg (120-126lbs).

[3] I'm not joking, this is what *he* put in his profile on oresama.com.

[4] "Oresama" is both an overly-self-confident and narcissistic way of saying "me" in Japanese.

[5] The reason why this statement is in the eyesight section is that the expression in Japanese is literally "I have no eyes for sweet things." It means you can't look at and thus control yourself from or be choosy about eating any kind of sweet food. In other words, he's not picky about sweets because he wants to eat it all.

[6] Both Kitarou and Kobo-chan are characters from two different Anime/Manga series'.

[7] Paipo are alternatives to cigarettes to help one quit smoking or to help with cravings when you want to smoke in places where smoking is banned. They are more like inhalers than actual cigarettes because they are reusable and don't need to be lit. The also contain no nicotine whatsoever, but come in various flavors like spearmint, melon, cinnamon, etc. (information from various sites regarding paipo found through google.)

[8] As in "personality type."

[9] Kan is the professor with whom Miyavi had a discussion with in October 2005, which was featured in Arena 37�C 12-2005 issue.

[10] An anime.

[11] ...382 is his name.
