^ Wow, with a live, handshakes, and premium events they are really giving back to the fans for this final release.

The lottery tickets for the premium event are in the Regular Edition. It doesn't say about the handshakes.

Also in those links it gives the title of the album: 渡り廊下をゆっくり歩きたい - "Watarirouka wo Yukkuri Arukitai"

[YKT]

Conche clarified the above

Because Pony Canyon has announced the events separately, it was confusing to me at first...
These are the coupons included...
■Complete Version Album →  2/9 LIVE @ Zepp Diver City Tokyo
■Regular Version Album → 2/7 Premium Event Somewhere in Tokyo
■From Reserving both albums → 1/11・2/1 Handshake Events in Tokyo

OMG.....there's just too much going on from New Years of 2014...and its all lottery [whew]

At this moment, some of us are trying to send request to Pony Canyon so they would consider having a concert at a larger place  :^^;:

Thanks so much Conche for clarifying for us!

^ Weird how Lovetan is missing from both events...

The events seem interesting, there are 6 sessions each day, here's me trying to work out what each is... badly...

1. Autograph session with the album cover
2. Janken - if you win you win a gift
3. Valentine Kiss - they will appear in that costume, and after a lil chat blow you an air-kiss
4. Members appear in old Warota costumes - and you get a signed album cover
5. Members appear in Akkanbe-bashi costumes, and after a lil chat send you off with an "akkanbe" whatever that means...
6. This is just a standard handshake - but longer time to talk than the other 5

Anyway, application dates:
Round 1: 16-18 December
Round 2: 25-26 December

^ This was a bit confusing. I completely forgot about this thing they had last single. So each member had a preview video for a horror film and there was voting to decide the favourite?

According to the official site linked above, it seems the top 3 videos will made into full versions and contained in the expensive 3CD+2DVD version of this album.

The top three are:

1. Watanabe Mayu - A so bo



2. Ota Aika - Taimuripuna Shoujo

(this seems like The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, I really enjoyed the anime version of that!



3. Kikuchi Ayaka - Joshuu 708-gou Hitode



I also laughed at how the filenames for these three images from the official site had vlcsnap in them, they are just screengrabs from VLC player

DISCLAIMER: Don't take it seriously, it's a publicity stunt...

There are two parts that I can’t hear clearly (Cindy’s and Lovetan’s line that I cross out below). I’ll try to hear it again and edit this later.

5 years since it was founded
Watarirouka Hashiritai
7 members will reveal
The truth about the disbandment

Watanabe: Feels like they aren’t doing it seriously

Ota: It’s so annoying

Nakagawa: Mayuyu’s always the center

Kikuchi: I want to show everyone that…

Iwasa: It’s all because everyone did that

Urano:

Hirajima: “We didn’t do anything bad”, like that…

Center
Feud
Don’t want to lose
Disfavor
Self-consciousness
Pride
Superiority complex
Jealousy
Friction
Conceit
Complex
Self-confidence
Conflict
Discord
CONFESS
Complaints of each person

Iwasa: She can’t even do this…?

Ota:

Nakagawa:  I also have works in Jakarta, so…

Watanabe: I think they take works too lightly

Hirajima: And then Harugon got mad…

WHO IS AT FAULT?

Ota: Mayuyu herself should also…

Kikuchi: Mayuyu shouldn’t also playing around like that

Nakagawa: She’s really being spoiled, just because she’s the center

Iwasa: Anyway she couldn’t be punctual

WHY DO THEY DISBAND?

Ota: I don’t know if she’s bad at remembering or anything

Urano: “You, that’s so disgusting”…that…

ARE THESE THEIR TRUE FEELINGS?

Hirajima: “You’re really an idiot”, like that

(THEIR RELATIONSHIP) CAN’T BE REPAIRED ANYMORE?

Watanabe: Everyone is disconnected in many aspects

There's a list of all the stores which will give you that generic type (the one with the ◊s). I ordered from yesasia as I'm sick of paying expensive handling charges on top of customs charges, and yesasia guarantee no customs fee to the UK, even though shipping is sloooow.

Clubhappy translated duet January/2014 issue, ''Watarirouka Hashiritai Girls Talk after a long time.''

Watarirouka Hashiritai Girls Talk after a long time

When these four get together…



Watarirouka Hashiritai will release their best album at the end of the year. This month, Harugon comes back from Jakarta and Lovetan from Hakata, and so these four appear again after a long time!

Ota: It’s been a long time us 4 have a photo-shoot together!

Watanabe: But when everyone gets together, it gets too exciting that it doesn’t feel like it’s been a long time (laugh). Harugon, how’s Jakarta (JKT48)? Are you busy there?

Nakagawa: We perform around lots of cities in Indonesia, it’s very interesting!

Watanabe: Are they different from Japan’s live houses?

Nakagawa: There are lots of places that aren’t used for live. For example, there’s a stage made at a wedding hall, and there’s a chandelier above.

Kikuchi: I want to go and see Harugon’s performance.

Nakagawa: I’d love you to come! How’s Hakata (HKT48)?

Ota: It’s fulfilling and fun every day.  People are kind, and the city is very comfortable to live.

Nakagawa: I want to go there! I want to eat motsunabe!

Kikuchi: Ramen, too ♥

Ota: I know a shop that has very delicious ramen, so I’d like to take you there next time!

Nakagawa: There’s also ramen in Jakarta. There’s a kind of soup called “Passo” that has meat balls and vegetables in it, it’s very delicious. I think everyone will love it.

Watanabe: Sounds delicious~! I want to try it.

Nakagawa: And then we eat avocado as dessert. We put it together with chocolate into a mixer and make a juice out of them, and we drink it.

All: Eh~!! Is it delicious?

Nakagawa: Everyone all says that it’s delicious. When I said “In Japan, we put soy sauce over it then eat”, everyone was very surprised.

Kikuchi: There’re so many ways to eat it.

Ota: How’s team A like?

Watanabe, Kikuchi: A VERY GOOD TEAM!

Kikuchi: There’re lots of young girls and it’s very lively.

Watanabe: Everyone is getting friendlier, they are cute. Relationships between members are also good, and the team has a good balance.

Kikuchi: Yeah, (Yokoyama) Yui is also doing her best being a captain.

Watanabe: There aren’t any chances for all members of Watarirouka to get together recently, but everyone is living to their fullest everyday so I’m happy.

Ota: Though it’s impossible now, but someday I want to go oversea together with everyone~. Maybe Shanghai or Taiwan…

Watanabe: Hongkong also sounds good!

Kikuchi: Xiaolongbao (or Shoronpo) is very delicious.

All: We want to eat that! We want to have a gourmet tour!

Nakagawa: Please come to Jakarta as well. There’re also lots of amusement parks. Though there will be no belts when you ride the water coaster, you have to hold it by yourself (laugh).

All: EH-!!

Watanabe: Sounds fun but scary~.

Nakagawa: And there’s Ferris wheel in high speed. When I asked local people, they said that “Ferris wheel is not something you ride on to look at the landscape”. It’s like an attraction? Not to mention that it’s not machinery, you have to turn it by hand!

All: REALLY!?

Ota: Please record it into a video and send us next time♪no, try to ride on it!

Nakagawa: Eh~, it’s too scary so no (laugh).

Watanabe: Is there anything else that made you surprised?

Nakagawa: There are lots of people dating using motorbikes in Jakarta. You can usually see couples who stop their bikes en route and then they will sit on the roadside being lovey-dovey!

All: Really!?

Ota: Dates, huh~. If I were to have a Christmas date, I’d like to have a walk around watching illuminations, and after that I’d say “It’s so cold” and both of us will go to the supermarket together. We would buy ingredients for nabe (hotpot) there, then go home and eat it while snuggling in the kotatsu. That’d be the best.

Kikuchi: Sounds good~!

Watanabe: Holding the supermarket bag together feels like youth (laugh).

Kikuchi: I’d like to have a delicious dinner together, and then spend time at a place where you can see the stars clearly.

Nakagawa: I also want to go downtown where Christmas songs are played. But we would get tired if it was crowded, so a place where there aren’t many people would be good!

Watanabe: I also want to have a walk together. I’ll get excited whenever I watch illuminations, I love Christmas!

Nakagawa: I want to have a Christmas party together with everyone. Do you want to decorate for Christmas together?

Ota: Eh? Curry noodles? (Kare tsuke men – Lovetan misheard)

Nakagawa: Decorating (Kazari tsuke)!! Or baking cakes…

Watanabe: I also want to exchange presents~.

Ota: Let’s do it at my house!

All: We’d love to go!!

Kikuchi: But whenever we say we want to do something, we will never do it in reality though (laugh).

Watanabe: Christmas this year is the release date of our album, right!?

All: That’s right! We look forward to it!!

Watanabe: It’s an album filled with lots of our feelings, so I’d be happy if lots of people hear it.
