🌸PAPA HAJIMEMASHITA ENG SUB PROJECT🌸

Hello!~

This cute, but also funny and sad jdrama called 'Papa, Hajimemashita' doesn't have any Eng subs yet (at least, I couldn't find them) so I decided to pick it up as translation project! My Japanese still has ways to go, but I thought this'd really help me learn & I love the program itself so why not?

So first of all: what is the program about? The story is about Kotarou (played by Kuroba Mario) who takes over the cafe of his uncle, because his uncle died in an accident. His uncle also had a daughter who is only in her second year of elementary school called Hina (played by Hayasaka Hirara) and Koutarou is determined to be a father figure for her. Together with two others, a celebrity (played by Mizue Kenta) & an old friend (played by Ueda Keisuke) Koutarou tries to make the best out of taking care of the cafe and Hina.

I'm planning on starting to try & sub this when my summer break starts (around 20th of June) so uh this will still take a while before I'll even get started 😅 There happen to be some sentences from time to time that I don't really understand or know how to translate well so there might be small gaps or mistranslations. I hope to get the main point of the story across though, since it's lovely.

⚠️THIS IS MOSTLY JUST PRACTICE FOR MYSELF SO PLS DONT BE MEAN TO ME THANK YOU:)⚠️

So when I finally decide to do this & upload them, how do you get access to the files? I have a couple of roules which I'll state below:

I won't publish the links, so you'll have to send me a message

whenever I have one available, I'll put on this post that's it's available

when you send me a message, please tell me why you are interested in this program! I'm honestly interested!

I won't send any links to empty profiles, so reblog something and put a bio and layout :)

If I give up on this project I'll let you know ;;;

Street Story - Ao Sora Beat [Lyrics Translation]

On the 14th of May, Street Story (the band Sawashiro Chiharu is in) released their third single ‘アオゾラビート/Ao Sora Beat/Blue Sky Beat’. As I personally really love the song, I tried to translate the lyrics for foreign fans or just people who come across it and want to understand the song! 

The theme of the song is about making your dreams come true by your own doing. Pushing forwards and do what you want so you can fulfilll your dreams. While translating, there were some things I stumbled upon because 1. I have never translated a song before, so some things like wheter to use I/you/we were difficult to interpret and 2. I’m still a novice when it comes to translating and Japanese language constructions in general, so some things are most likely wrongly interpreted. I apologise for that. I’d really appreciate it if someone (though hardly anyone knows about Street Story so-) would tell me if I made some mistakes so I can learn from them! Especially when it comes to the use of I/you/we! I’m also very uncertain about the part talking about aligning the sighs, so if someone could better that I’d be grateful T-T!

Without further ado, the lyrics under the cut!:

Queen Bee’s new album BL was officially released today in Japan, along with the music video for its title track! Additionally, the video is captioned with an English translation.

It’s full of little details and interesting concepts, even referencing previous videos such as “Venus”, “Introduction” and “Holy War”. Seems like the story arc is still ongoing, after all. But other than that, everyone is sporting these gorgeous looks – the ever-changing QB is back at it again!

Notice

I am compiling messages in DIFFERENT LANGUAGES for Hosoya Yoshimasa for his 38th birthday in February 10 2020 so that he’ll know about his overseas fans.

Please ONLY choose from these two:

Thank you

Happy birthday 

And write them in this format:

 YOUR OWN LANGUAGE: [生日快乐！] 

Followed by pronunciation if it’s not in English: [sheng ri kuai le] 

Followed by language / country you are from: [Mandarin] [From China]

and either comment below, or send it to me as a message. It should look something like this:

Note: Other messages may be accepted only when it’s short. It should be in Japanese, or English where I can translate. But note that I’m a beginner in Japanese.

Honestly I’m still very stuck on doing this and still unsure on how to collate this, but I plan to do my very best because this is something I really want to do.

Please reblog / share this, I’ll share it on my Twitter and Youtube so hopefully more people will see this.

Omg so apparently Hatanaka Tasuku and Sayaka Senbongi are now married!!! CONGRATULATIONS!

I'm so happy so many seiyuus are getting married these years 😭😭💖💖

HakuMyu Visuals versus Hakuouki Official Art

*sigh* For some seriously insane whim, I decided that that I’d be making an srt file for the Hakuoki Karakuri Oni Drama from the 2012 Otomate Party….. meaning that I’d be translating this from Chinese into English (won’t be doing a biyori this month cuz of this). 

This was originally translated for the Hakuoki community by @kirakirachiizuru[her original post is here: https://kirakirachiizuru.tumblr.com/post/87178696005/hakuouki-live-reading-otomate-party-2012].

Anyway, while I did my own translation for this, I did use kirakirachiizuru’s original translation to supplement my own translations for this with her permission for this video as it appears that certain Japanese terms do not translate very well to Chinese, and some things did sounded better in her translations than in what I had translated….. also Kazama’s stuff is never easy for me to translate. 

(If you see this, kirakirachiizuru, thanks again! also check your inbox plz)
