お前は俺のものだ

But there was a really cute question from an international fan who said they loved Mink so much that they learned how to speak Japanese and traveled to go see the stage play. They also mentioned that there are surely lots of international MinAo fans!

The question was how they see "the other Aoba." Well, Aoba's actor gives a very thorough response as expected, but Mink's was soo cute...

...he said that "the other Aoba" is not a bad person, but he is the reason why Aoba becomes complicated, so his feelings towards him can be complicated. But, he knows that Aoba comes as a package deal / combo package!!

no omg the question was PERFECT and honestly as a longtime international MinAo fan I sincerely thank you for acknowledging we still exist 😭 It felt so special and I'm really, really grateful! 🙏

PLUS the question itself was so interesting! And their answers even more so! I could rant about Mink and Sly and Aoba all day long so I won't even start because if I did I couldn't stop, but.

Mink’s voice actor was the hardest to translate because he’s so philosophical your brain goes into meltdown trying to figure out what he’s trying to say. Kindof what I imagine Mink would be like if he opened his mouth.

Actually they’re all not far from the characters they represent…

Sei’s voice actor looks like a real life Sei!!!! I’m in love…

My notes in [ ]. I use DMMd for the Japanese acronym Doramada. Names are [first name] [last name].

Well, this was a streaming for Mink’s Birthday

This exhausted me for about a month, but I’ve finally finished it!

I’ve translated the Lamento drama CD which covers the aftermath of Bardo’s route, a.k.a. the only Lamento drama CD that had yet to be translated. And all tracks are linked in a single Google doc file.

Link: Lamento Drama CD: Bardo (Volume 3)

Disclaimers:

I can’t guarantee that this translation is 100% accurate. I needed a lot of help from both MTL and my own understanding of the general context of the scenes to figure out the complete dialogue, or at least attempt to, but I did my best for it to make sense. But even in spite of my best attempts, I’m not completely confident in the translation. If any of you notice something that is off or could be better translated, feel free to inform me about it and I’ll make the necessary corrections as soon as possible.

As previously said, this drama CD is set after the main events of Bardo’s route, so there are some spoilers abound. So if you listen to this but you have yet to play his route, let alone the game, you might be confused as to what’s going on.

AND AS A BONUS...

I previously created a post that compiled the links of my translation for each track of Taku's drama CD (from N+C latest VN, Slow Damage, to those who don't know yet). Each translation per track was in a separate Google doc, however.

So I compiled all the translations into a single document, and added some improvements and edits. You can also download it as a PDF, and each track is linked to make it easy for you to navigate.

The original links are still there for reference's sake. This new link, however, also contains the translation (or at least edited MTL) for the lyrics of the ending theme of the drama CD, "predawn".
