2009.09.01 | my computer has broken for the third time this year orz all my files are fine, it's a problem with the display card, but I can't get stuff off my laptop harddrive...I can still work on pure translation on my family computer, but subbing and scanlating projects are on hold until I buy a new laptop D:


2009.05.08 | another clearing of tags and changing 'series' back to 'animanga' since I'm no longer exclusively in animanga fandoms XD; also started writing journal entries...hope watchers don't mind, just skip the cut and you won't be exposed to 1000+ words of fandom ramblings =X

2009.04.06 | i've been having trouble lately balancing schoolwork with translations, and i apologize to my watchers if i've been neglecting certain fandoms OTZ i'm probably going to be working over the summer, but i'll keep working on the projects, i'm the type who usually can't leave anything unfinished ^^; hopefully a few projects will be done by the end of summer... (randomly: new layout, need a change of pace...)

---

SO! this is a collective post of everything that's on this journal (except my journal entries) with their respective tags so I can remind myself just how many things I've got to finish

NOTE1: an accentuated link means the post is still being (eventually) updated/added to
NOTE2: i'm a self-taught japanese translator (with 2 years of basic schooling) so i admit i sometimes make mistakes, thus here's a link to my CORRECTIONS POST; feel free to bring up any mistakes you see, i will be eternally grateful~
NOTE3: most of the MU/MF/BOX links are stored in my own account folder, so they're not likely to expire, but if anything does, please feel free to give me a nudge ^^
NOTE4: all posts are avatar-coded; animanga is purple, jpop is green, journal entries/misc is blue, and default is red

DISCLAIMER

FOR ANYONE WANTING TO USE MY TRANSLATIONS
I've had many people ask if they could use my translations for stuff. Thanks for taking the time, I really appreciate that you guys are asking for permission! Just some general rules for using my translations:

I only require credit if it's going to be mass-distributed (ex. fansubs, scanlations) and/or if you're using a large part of the translation (ex. a whole stanza, anything longer than two lines), but of course if you could credit me for small projects (like icons/quotes), it'll make me even happier =D
The credit could be given just as a link to this journal (http://ninefly.livejournal.com) or something like "ninefly @ LiveJournal" is fine too if the URL is too long.

If the forum/community/etc. you're posting to is not English, it's probably best to link to the actual journal entry so they could see the original post directly.

All comments asking for permission could be directed to this post, for sake of consistency. Though, I've got comment alert emails turned on, so I'll probably be notified even if you ask from another post (as long as LJ does not malfunction...).

comments: this song has a very similar "cheering on the salarymen generation" feel to their previous single X3 i'm extremely fond of the "only saying..." line where they use their hands to mimic mouths yapping and the "hands of time..." line where they mimic the hands of a clock cuz it's really adorable 8B

comments: i have to admit this song surprised me with its story-telling-ness because that's one of my favorite formats for lyrics ♥ it's got a nicely shaped message and managed to do so with a hiphop/rap-beat Oo; most people who don't understand japanese would probably be surprised with the lyrics, especially since the title is so misleading XDDDDD;

huh, just recently had the urge to start writing actual entries to this journal...I hope my watch-list doesn't mind ^^;

journal entries are probably mostly gonna be about my fandoms anyways, with little bits and pieces of info/summaries on magazines and clips

( and thus, ignore this cut if you're not interested in my ramblings )

also, for those watching my journal purely for KAT-TUN translations: I probably won't be updating anything new as I've kind of retreated from that particular fandom, and if I do, it'll be x-posted to kattunlove so there's no need to keep watching me ^^;
...it's not that I no longer like KT, I'm just more of a lurker now that others are contributing more =X

fandom: V6 (Morita Go), other (Tom Cruise)
title: 090327 VVV6 Morita Delivery part
file format: avi (english subs)
server: megaupload
fansubs: ninefly (me =D)
brief summary: The Delivery section from the 2009.03.27 episode of V6's food-filled show VVV6. Basically, this section features one member of V6 (in this episode Morita) acting as a food delivery service for another celebrity, but the catch is, they'll have to give the show something in return (usually a personal belonging). In this episode, the target is Tom Cruise, who probably hit every variety show in Japan promoting his movie Valkyrie. Go basically tries out his limited Eigo-skillz ("how are you", "great") and flaunts the fact that Tom Cruise opened the door for him and is copying his handwriting XDDD; I've transcribed what Tom says just for the sake of those visual learners(?), if Tom speaks Japanese, the translation is in brackets. This was a present for nayanko <3 also trying out a new logo XD

fandom: V6 (Okada Junichi)
title: 090416 CHICHINPUIPUI okada interview
file format: avi (english subs)
server: megaupload + mediafire
fansubs: ninefly (me =D)
brief summary: A Kansai region TV program that Okada was a guest in. The title, CHICHINPUIPUI is the Japanese equivalent of Abracadabra or something that parents say to for example "magic away" their children's bruises. Okada is here to promote his movie OTO-NA-RI and the host basically sets up a takoyaki (fried octopus) kitchen for their interview XD This was requested by marlinaz hope you enjoy!

fansubs: ninefly (me =D)
brief summary: The Delivery section from the 2009.04.03 episode of V6's food-filled show VVV6. Basically, this section features one member of V6 (in this episode Okada) acting as a food delivery service for another celebrity, but the catch is, they'll have to give the show something in return (usually a personal belonging). In this episode, the targets are two actors from the Crows Zero II movie, Oguri Shun and Yamada Takayuki...who also turn out to be Okada's drinking buddies XD; Basically, lots of mutual teasing ensues (Okada finally finds some kouhai he can bully fufu).

fandom: V6 (Coming Century)
title: 2009 Ebara CM - Coming Century x golden taste sauce (little change ver.)
file format: avi
server: mediafire + megaupload
source: Ebara official site
brief summary: basically all that "changed" about the "new" product is...the bottle design XD; kamisen are all like "it's changed?" "huh?" as they stuff their faces and declare that it still tastes good, seemingly not noticing that anything has changed (obviously they ignore the bottle for that delicious yakinikuuuuuu) [EDIT] added the 3 Kamisen single versions, where they cook their recipes, have the other two test taste it, and then give you a flying recommendation XDDDDv


(this poster makes them look so...un-alive, especially Go T-T what makes them think such a solemn image would sell their yakiniku sauce?)

title: 2009 Sony CM - Okada Junichi x Sony Handycam
file format: avi
server: mediafire
source: Sony Official Site
brief summary: okada's new sony cm! there's two 30sec versions, the first where he records a drummer (and joins in afterwards~), and the second is where he performs tests to prove the superiority of sony's handycam (much adorable hand gestures here); the making is 1min long, basically him playing around the set...they asked what he expects from a good video camera and he said "to nicely record my most important memories" also, the part where he walks into the white room, the directer was like "your face is a bit scary there" and he sticks out his tongue XDDDD;
