FAKE MOTION Episode 8 is subbed!
It’s really the final episode of the series! T^T
I still can’t believe it! :(
I’m happy to say that I’ve accomplished my first ever Japanese drama series subbing project! I truly had a lot of fun working on Fake Motion: King of Ping Pong.
To be honest, I had doubts about working on this project because I lacked the confidence (in my knowledge about the Japanese language and in subbing).
In one of my previous posts, I mentioned that I wanted to “try” making subs for this drama. Then I did so, and started off by working on the first episode. I have to admit that it wasn’t a simple task. One reason is because my Japanese is still way too limited. I’ve made subs for short video clips, but working on a full 20-minute episode--not to mention an entire series—is a first for me. Another reason is that I’m still new to subbing. The timing, the effects, and other stuff… I knew that I still had to learn more about them. But seeing the positive response from everyone after I uploaded the first subbed episode, I felt reaallyyy happy, and that’s when I decided to keep working on this series.
I’d like to express my huge thanks to one of the admins of DISH//er Philippines, Paula (Masaki’s partner *wink wink*), for sharing the first subbed episode on Twitter! That’s how more fans (of EBiDAN, J-drama, etc.) got to know about my little subbing project. Thank youuu. Because of that, it gave me the idea of posting updates on Twitter alongside Tumblr. :)
And of course! To my fellow PH //ers! Thank you, thank youuu for the heartwarming support. I was able to keep working on this project all because of you guys! This might sound a bit cheesy, but you guys are like new family to me <3 We may not know each other in person, but that’s what I honestly think. All the sharing, the kindness, and the crazy fun fill my heart with happiness. Looking forward to more kabaliwan! Let’s keep supporting DISH//! :D
And yeah, part of the reason (just kidding, it’s actually the main reason) why I wanted to work on this drama is because of DISH//. All DISH// members are in the drama! I’m a huge fan of them, so there’s no way I’d miss watching it! Takumi, Masaki, To-i, and Daichi, is in one drama series! Don’t you all agree, dearest Slashers? :D
Honestly, I wanted to wait until someone would willingly translate and sub the series for us fans. Even if I could watch it, I wouldn’t understand their conversations that well, so if possible, I wanted to watch it with subs. But I guess I kinda got impatient, so I ended up working on it myself. A huge challenge :D
One of my fellow PH //ers was hinting me that I work on Fake Motion, so I gave it a shot. And I’m glad I did ‘cause it was worth it! While working on the subs, I was able to understand their conversations, and eventually the story. I learned a lot of new things along the way (Japanese words, and subbing knowledge), and I enjoyed the drama, too :) Most especially, I get to share the fun in this series to everyone!
I’d like to express my warmest thanks to everyone who supported me and this project! It’s amazing! I feel so delighted that there are people from different parts of the world who are happy with the subs! For the warm messages, comments, and support you guys have given me, thank you all so much! T_T <3
I guess you can tell by now that I’m a person who totally lacks self-confidence. But thanks to this project and to everyone’s support, I was given a good boost of confidence. It’s like I’ve taken a new step forward. Truth be told, I never thought that I could accomplish something like this, not even in the slightest! Alongside the fun in working on the subs for Fake Motion, I was able to discover more about myself (this includes the fact that I really love DISH//, and most of all, their main vocalist :D).
It’s uncertain if I’m going to work on subbing projects like this again. But all I can say is that this one was all worth the time, the experience, and the fun! <3
I think this post is getting way too long (I should’ve realized sooner). Teehee.
If you have any corrections, suggestions, or questions regarding the subs/translations, please send me a message :)
I hope you enjoyed and appreciated EBiDAN’s first ever drama project, Fake Motion: King of Ping Pong!
Giving out hints or spoilers isn’t really my thing, so do watch it!
P.S. I’ve uploaded this final episode a bit sooner than usual because I might get busy in the near future. I decided that I might as well upload it now while I still have more time. :D
Thanks for reading this extremely long post!
Cheers!
