やっと見つけた！

So I've been searching around for this off and on for a while, but I finally found it~ Apparently, Yugo goes to school here. I wish I could find anything about his major and stuff, but since it's Yugo, it's hard to find anything. =___=; Does anyone have any idea what it is?

Also, on the topic of juniors, if you want to discuss the Myojo rankings, I'm still happy to discuss choices here! Additionally, this month's poll at bakaleya_kumi is about covering senpai songs, so if that interests you, check it out here~

And now, back to puzzling over who to choose in the junior ranking...

[Edit] After some more digging around, I haven't found anyone on any Japanese blogs/Japanese yahoo answers/2chan with a definite answer as to his major, but from what classes Japanese people are saying he's taking, I'm guessing that he's majoring in the area of 表現文化 in the department of 総合文化. The most natural way to translate the department name to me is "the school of arts and sciences" (like at most liberal arts colleges?) but they translate it as the Department of Transcultural Studies? I don't really know. Basically, the school has a business and economics school, a psych/sociology school, and a humanities school. Under the humanities school, there's a generic "arts and sciences" department, and then a studio art department. Within the arts and sciences/"transcultural studies" department, there are three areas: Japanese culture and literature, cross-cultural comparative studies of culture and literature, and the one that I think Yugo is in, 表現文化, which... I'm having trouble translating. Literally, it's "expression culture," but it seems from the courses offered that it's more like "communication and media cultural studies" or something like that. The topics for the classes are stuff like art history, film studies, study of pop culture, study of the fashion industry, study of theatre culture, etc. Based on what Japanese fans are saying he's studying, I think he has to be in this field. :D

Oh I heard about it somewhere on internet, but I wasn't sure. About his major he's apparently in "Communication and Beauty" because he wanted to make everyone 'cool'. :)

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Woah, really? Do you have a source for that? XD That would be awesome. Looking at the list of departments, I don't know what that would fall under, though... XD;

[kenbanana.livejournal.com]

I read it in Myojo April 2012. But not sure about the department since theses kanjis can mean many things.

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Awesome, thanks so much! I'll look into it~

[kenbanana.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.
And if you find something else, please tell us. ;)

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Of course, will do~

[ballpennifuma.livejournal.com]

:OOO HOW.DID.YOU.MANAGE.TO.FIND.IT. *astounded*

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

A lot of creative googling in Japanese. XD; I read a lot of tabloid pages and stuff to find it. |D;;;

[ballpennifuma.livejournal.com]

I SALUTE YOU.I LOVE OYU.LOLOLOL.GHAD.So he's studying in a school of liberal arts huh *O*

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Haha, thanks. I don't know for sure what his major is, though.

By the way, every time you've commented on this post, it's gotten marked as spam (I don't know why... perhaps because it thought you using periods without spaces was a URL link?) so I'm sorry for my late replies! @___@

[ballpennifuma.livejournal.com]

Ah~ pretty sure it's related to arts..? pfft. If you do let us know~! *flails*

I also noticed that! and sorry 'bout that too~ it's because I just can't stop being excited about it! :))

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the person who commented above you said that, but I'm still on the lookout for what it is, and even my Japanese google-fu is failing me. XD; I'll let you know if I find out!

Sorry XD;;;

[yomimashou.livejournal.com]

It makes me happy that Yugo is studying things related to media and entertainment~ I hope he has fun in his classes at school :D And it adds to the image of him that I have of him really loving and enjoying what he does in Johnny's and on TV and stuff?

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I agree! I really hope that the Japanese fans I was basing this on were right. I hope he does too~ He said in a magazine that he was taking a Spanish class (yay Liberal Arts XD) and that he wants to become pera pera at Spanish, too, so he can go see soccer in Spain. So cute. XD

[yomimashou.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, that's so cute. He and Jesse should go visit Europe together someday XD

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Awwwww. If they went to America Spanish might be useful too?

[yomimashou.livejournal.com]

Aww, yeah XD

[kenbanana.livejournal.com]

Oh so I was wrong, ne. But I think he did a great choice studying liberal arts is amazing, now let's hope the best for him ! :D

[kenbanana.livejournal.com]

Oh yes please ! But if he comes in Europe I think he'll visit his cousin who lives in Switzerland first. :)

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Woah, Yugo has a cousin in Switzerland?

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

I mean, I'm not 100% positive about this, but I did do a lot of digging around XD; At any rate, yes! I want to support him~

[kenbanana.livejournal.com]

Yup :)

[kenbanana.livejournal.com]

No matter what he does, I'll always support him. :)

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Crazy XD You learn something new every day.

He did say he wanted to go to Spain, though XD

[kenbanana.livejournal.com]

He talked about his cousin in 2012 in Myojo I think.
He said that ? Where did he said that ?

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the Spain thing was also a Myojo from last year. I forget which one exactly...

[kenbanana.livejournal.com]

Well If you find it again, please tell me :)

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Will do!

[rorychan.livejournal.com]

Ah, he did mention that he is studying film and fashion. I managed to dig up that much yesterday. And he has been doing camera work on the SK lives the past few months so I assume it's because of his studying. And he is into making clothes so that makes sense as well that he should be in this department. Very artsy.

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Where did he say it? I've been looking around forever, and I can't find anything legitimate, just stuff on Japanese blogs and stuff. But I'm really happy it seems like he's doing stuff that interests him ♥

[ohryouchipi.livejournal.com]

ah, it's so cool!!
i wish him all the best, and a johnny's who really know what he's doing. i mean with his college degree he basically can work both on off camera!

thank you so much for this.
and btw i add, you,wish you dont me be my friend, hehe

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's really amazing. ♥

And okay, I'll friend you back. ^^

[ohryouchipi.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much.

[rorychan.livejournal.com]

I found it in my files of word document translations, but it didn't have a date on it. He seems really serious about what he loves doesn't he?

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay. But yeah, it's really cute how much he loves what he does!

[yamachiiislove.livejournal.com]

WOW! Thanks for this *tears of joy* I've been searching about Yugo's uni life. ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥ what does liberal arts mean? ;A; hohoho...

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

I'm glad it was useful to you! I'm not sure about the major stuff, since I was just guessing based on the comments Japanese fans have made on blogs and stuff, but I'm pretty sure about the school itself. ^^

Liberal arts means a college where it's required that you get a rounded education rather than just focusing on a single field. For example, at my college, I had to take two years of a foreign language, two math or science classes, two humanities classes, and two social sciences classes, as well as all the classes for my major. You can read more on the wikipedia article here, where liberal arts is defined as college or university curriculum aimed at imparting broad general knowledge and developing general intellectual capacities. ^^

[yamachiiislove.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.... I see ♥ Thankkkkssss again.... goodluck to Yugo ;A; :)))

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. ^^ And yes, good luck to him!
