Heh, you can't send anything besides letters or they definitely won't reach the boys. It's heavily filtered, to my understanding.

Here's the address in Japanese too if you rather wanna use it:
〒150-8550 
東京都渋谷区渋谷1-10-10 ミヤマスタワーB1F
Johnny's Family Club (NEWS/山下智久)

Though it really doesn't matter which you use since the "English" one gets there too (but if you use the Japanese one be sure to write "Japan" there somewhere too XD) I've never used the Japanese version of the address myself even though I always write my letters in Japanese but you can choose which to use ^.^

The JE people screen the mail really careful before actually giving them to the boys so you are not alloved to send anything with the letter. To ensure your letter gets there, use simple paper, plain envelope (no decorations!!) and it's better if you don't write your address on the envelope. Letters that are rejecter are only sent bact to sender if they're from Japan so having the address there doesn't make a ny difference, and as for what comes to the boys answering the letters they have to do if through their manager so they wouldn't probably send those outside Japan either so it makes no difference that way either so it's better to leave it out.

Yes, you can use the one you want, it will be delivered to the same place. Normally people outside Japan use the "English" address so that it's delivered right, though it you just write "Japan" in the Japanese address it will be delivered just the same.

As far as I know if the boys want to answer a fanletter, they need to write the letter and then give it to their manager who then sends it, but I have never heard of any fan who lives outside Japan get a reply. Japanese fangirls have sometimes gotten letters from the boys so I'd guess they can only send answer letters to the fans who live inside Japan. Because when the JE people inspect the letters, if they're not approved they will be sent back to the writer if they live in Japan, but if they live outside Japan the letter is just thrown away and no one gets them. This is what mostly happens at least, I'm not 100% sure if all the outside-Japan sent letters are thrown away and not returned to the sender if they don't get approved, but at least I've never heard any letter been answered. But the main idea with sending letters to the boys is to make them know they're loved, not because you want to get a letter from them. The boys get so much letters anyway they couldn't even do that. Though I know Nakamaru at least answers fanletters sometimes, and some Japanese girl once got a letter from one of the Arashi guys though I can't remember who (I think it was Ohno...)

Translate what? :3 Just in general? Nya, my Japanese isn't good enough (especially my kanji skills are nearly non-existing because I don't have the time to study those) though I can understand better than write/talk. It usually takes me a whole day to write one letter in Japanese because I have to rely on my kanji books etc so much ^^; I'm so happy I got so many friends who translate though so I can always ask their help when I can't read some text I never ask them to write from English to Japanese for me though, that I do myself. I even have a scanlation community [livejournal.com profile] cherish_dream with one of my friends but she does the translating while I scan and edit...

You can always write in English too... The reason I never ask my friends to help me with letters is that I want them to sound like ME ^.^ So even if you used bad Japanese it'd be your letter and I'm sure the boys would appreciate your effort the most. If you can use Japanese at all you can use this site to help with getting the kanji right: http://excite.co.jp/world/english/ (though I suggest using a kanji book or some dictionary at least with it because the online translators are never that great...)

Well, the people who inspect the mail don't open the letters because that would be invading you and the boys' privacy and because opening someone else's letter is illegal everywhere, even in JE world so it doesn't really matter how you do the actual letter. Just don't put any decorations on it, because if the people inspecting those suspect there's anything else than the letter inside they reject it (and bigger decorations could make them think that). So the smaller/plainer letter it it the biggest chances for it to get through. Personally I think a handwritten letter is always better than a printed one because it's more personal and I think the boys would appreciate it more too. But it doesn't matter to the accepting the letter because the people inspecting those never open them.
