***
Per Lafone, JM did not give a right or straight answer to the interview. His Japanese intonation and accent is perfect, but it seems that he is not proficient enough to convey ideas.
Also, during the previous press conference, he sometimes spoke in a very casual manner which I hope will not be misunderstood by others.
Thanks again Lafone for this.

solo album?
can't wait!
Thank you very much, Lafone!!
I thought he spoke well enough and was very kawaii ^^, but after reading lafone's thoughts, I'm a bit worried about Japanese people misreading JM. =/ He already has some trouble with that, even in Korea, because of his playful manner. And Japanese take social rules very seriously, so I hope they don't misunderstand and just welcome him warmly in jpop. ^^;
Then again, there have been many Korean artistes moving to Japanese market, so they should be more accepting now. And I'm sure JM is more fluent than most of those crossover groups. :D
PS - I want JM to work with Younha or KARA. XD
I'm very happy with all the things that are happening to him ,and i can't wait for his come back!
thank you for translate. ^^
