Pan family outing. #FormosanAboriginalCultureVillage
[With my] (cousin) brothers* & aunt who's older than me by a year.

t/n: *堂弟 means younger cousin brother (on your Dad's side). Ga's use of the bracket for (堂)弟們 was to include the fact that his own younger brother ("di") was there as well. :)

新年快樂年年有餘～
Happy New Year, (may you always have) more than you need every year*～

t/n: *This popular Chinese New Year greeting usually does a wordplay on the last word, 餘 (yú). The word itself means "remainder", i.e. having more than you need, but it also sounds like the Chinese word for fish, 魚 (yú), hence the wordplay on fishes (as seen in the video above).

今晚一起守歲吧～誰要一起來！！
Let's stay up* together tonight~ Who's with me!!
t/n: In Chinese traditions, 守歲 is when the younger family members stay up all night on Chinese New Year's Eve. It is said that if you stay up all night, your parents will be able to live to a ripe old age.

Ga #1
睡覺去，希望今年越來越青春美麗！
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！

今天是除夕，除了在家團圓之外，趁著放假再把大家的卡片好好看過一遍！新的一年也請多多指教喔！我們一起努力下去吧！最後祝大家新年快樂，揚眉吐氣，洋洋得意，越來越young!

It's Chinese New Year's eve today. Other than having a reunion at home, (I'm) taking this chance during the holidays to read through everyone's cards! Please continue to take care of us in this new year! Let's work hard together! Lastly, wishing everyone a Happy New Year.  (May everyone) throw away their stresses & live happily, (be) self-satisfied (and be) more & more young*!

t/n: *The English word "young" sounds like the Chinese word for lamb/sheep/goat, 羊 (yáng), hence the wordplay on the sound.
Also, as is customary for the Chinese (or Lunar) New Year, people greet each other with special greetings in this period and this can be seen in Ah Xiang's last sentence. The greetings are sometimes tailored to include the character - or rather, sound of - the zodiac animal of the year, e.g. the lamb, for this year.

MP's first dance to start spring off! The "bending waist"* dance to wish everyone a Happy (Lunar) New Year~~

t/n: 歪腰, also orz (as in, imagine a person kneeling on the ground, the o being the head, r as the arms & z as the legs), is an internet slang like "OTL". It's to express your frustration, e.g. when you wanna give up on a situation. For lack of a better phrase, we've translated it with its' literal meaning, "bending waist", above.
"歪腰" is a Mayday song & you'll see the original (cartoon) version of the "bending waist dance" in the video above!

廷(Mr. Superhero):
大掃除日,翻出了高中時第一次寫歌用的錄音機和歌詞本,想起了土法煉鋼錄demo和為賦新詞強說愁的十七歲,熱血依然阿,改天有機會唱我高中寫的第一首歌給你們聽

農曆新年倒數,你大掃除了嗎

Ting (Mr. Superhero):
It's Spring Cleaning Day. (I) found the lyrics book and music recorder (I) used the first time I wrote music in high school. Thinking back to (my) seventeen-year-old (self), with an old-fashioned way of recording demos and (how I'd) vent my frustrations in order to write new lyrics - (my) passion was (already) evident (then). If there's a chance in the future, (I'll) sing the first song I wrote in high school for you guys to hear

Counting down to the Lunar New Year, have you done your spring cleaning yet?

我天生是個勞碌命的人，因為我的成就感都來自你們的笑容，我隨時聽著音樂想著舞台模擬著表演，等待著。等待著燈打到我的那一刻，給你們一個最棒的瞬間。晚安。

I'm naturally someone who needs to constantly work hard, because my sense of accomplishment comes from your smiles. Whenever I listen to music, I'll always think of the stage & imagine the performance, waiting. Waiting for the moment the spotlight shines on me, (so that I can) give you guys the best moment (then). Goodnight.

剛在逛街被兩個美國滑板小子極速衝到我面前攔住要求街拍，我並不覺得他認識我⋯原來他喜歡我的#密集⋯和衣著，還送了我他們板team的貼紙。這種自然熱情的感覺好像在國外。 恐怖的#密集 萬歲。

Two American skater boys just rushed in front of me at top speed to stop me for a street snap when I was shopping just now. I didn't think they recognised me⋯ In fact, (what) they liked was my #concentrated (patterns)⋯ and outfit. (They) even gave me their skateboard team's sticker. This sort of natural friendliness (makes me) feel like I'm overseas. Long live, scary #concentrated(patterns).
