And the translation from Jiichan.com:

    Youth

    Passes the audition for Japan’s top idol group “Morning Musume”, 13 years old
    CD debut, 14 years old
    Begins having a solo radio show, 17 years old
    Appears in a musical where I didn’t even have one speaking line, 19 years old
    Got told, “You’re still in Morning Musume?”, 20 years old
    Rank high in “My most hated female talent ranking” poll, 20 years old
    Becomes the 8th leader of my beloved Morning Musume, 23 years old
    Morning Musume becoming popular again, 24 years old

    Yes, this is my “Youth”

    And then, once again…
    When it is said again that “The top idol group of Japan is Morning Musume”
    That will be the final curtain of my “Youth”

Wow thanks oaxiac for advertising my work! I don't come here often cause it didn't feel like the thread was getting much action but it's nice to see people are still here carrying the charge!

If you guys haven't checked it out I've also been doing the Q&As from "Sayu" as well!
Part 1: http://nantonaku.mittsi.net/?p=50030
Part 2: http://nantonaku.mittsi.net/?p=50055
Part 3: http://nantonaku.mittsi.net/?p=50075
With more to come as I get through them!

Each entry has a little translation note thing too, just in case there are issues.

And as always you can follow my translations for Sayu's Blogs at Nantonaku as well, we've moved site again so you can find that here! http://nantonaku.mittsi.net/?cat=6

Sayu is really fun to translate for, her quirks are nice and lots of pictures between words make it less tedious ^^;
