Idol Warriors Miracle Tunes! Episode 09 Released


Torrents:

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the Miracle Tunes have form changes. I love form changes. Maybe modern Rider has spoiled me. LOL.

With this, we're back to releasing new episodes! I still can't guarantee that we're going back to weekly releases, but I'll try my best!

A gentle reminder that we're on Ko-Fi right now! If you like what I do and wanna donate a little bit, I'd really, really appreciate it!

Talking About Translations - 29 April 2018

So I figured I talk a little bit about how I translate. For context - for someone who took it upon himself to translate a whole show, my Japanese is pretty bad. I decided to do this because I wanted to try and improve my Japanese through the project.

There really isn't a 100% correct way to translate something, different people have different ways of translating something. As someone who watches subs of Kamen Rider, I am well aware of that fact, lol.

For today, let's go through the first two lines of the opening. Please forgive me if I misuse some of the terms - again, my Japanese is actually really bad.


あなたに会うと いつだってring my bellなぜか
早口になってる 自分に気付いちゃう

There's little issue with the first line - あなたに会う (anata ni au) (Meeting you), と (to)(connecting particle), いつだって (itsudatte) (always), ring my bell, なぜか (nazeka) (for some reason, somehow).

So, "Meeting you always rings my bell, for some reason."

I have seen it translated as "Why is it that you always ring my bell whenever I meet you?"

The Chinese subs that I have translated the line as "I don't know when meeting you started to ring my bell."

As you can probably see, all the context is there in all the translations, but the alternate translation phrased it as a question, and the Chinese translation rearranged the translation to flow better in Chinese (Chinese translations, from what I see, choose to sacrifice literal translations to sound more poetic in their language). I chose to translate the line literally.

For the next line, I saw it in two parts - "早口になってる" (hayaguchi ni natteru) (I started talking quickly) and "自分に気付いちゃうの" (jibun ni kiduichauno) (I realized/notice it myself). I guess I auto-added the context as "It's not just you, I realized it myself (too)" and translated the line accordingly, "I started talking quickly, I realize it too."

Another thing with translation is puns and rhymes. Man, puns and rhymes are hard to translate over. But that is a conversation for another time.



A gentle reminder that we're on Ko-Fi right now to raise funds for server space to host the releases. Every contribution helps, so thank you very much if you choose to do so!!

I did a gag sub of this episode back when I was using DVD raws, but it didn't really gain much attention LOL. You can check it out here if you'd like though xD

Idol Warriors Miracle Tunes! Episode 06 HD Released and SD Re-Released


Torrents:


This is one of my favourite episodes, just for the sheer ridiculousness of it.

Anyway, funny story - the Negative Jeweller this week is called "Kubittakee". "Kubittake" means "to be crazy about, to be madly in love with", so I decided to translate it as "Crayzeeforyou" (crazy for you). It is sheer coincidence that the name can be read as "Crazy for Ryou" too, LOL.

Idol Warriors Miracle Tunes! Episode 05 HD Released and SD Re-Released


Torrents:

Surprise~ HD beyond Episode 4!

I'd like to think that I'm getting better at fansubbing. Episodes 1 - 3 took a while to clean up for re-release, but Episode 4 onwards was pretty much just upscaling everything, so I was able to re-release everything a lot faster. I don't think I'll ever release so much videos over one weekend ever again LOL.

Idol Warriors Miracle Tunes! Episode 03 HD Released and SD Re-Released


Torrents:
I tried to improve the translations for my re-releases, since it doesn't take as long as outright translating a new episode. No major errors made for what I already released, thankfully, though I have learnt to stop twisting words to try and shoehorn memes into the script. :P

Announcement: I've Started A Ko-Fi!

EDIT: I am no longer subbing on a constant basis, please do not donate to my Ko-Fi!! (...Unless you're the kind that likes to throw money around but yeeeeah)

It's a little difficult keeping seeds up for a show not many people watch.
Thus, I've decided to purchase some server space to host my releases.
Having said that, having a server up costs money, so I've opened up a Ko-Fi!

Buy Me a Coffee at ko-fi.com

I'll be very transparent here - the server I've purchased is Feral Hosting, which costs about USD$15 a month. This means with just 5 Ko-Fi donations, you'll keep the server up for a month :)
(Disregarding the extra fees of course.)

That said, you don't have to donate if you don't want to, no pressure! But if you do choose to donate, thank you very, very much!

I never noticed how there's a little "M" inside the Sound Jewel when they charge up their batons.

(*The version on YouTube is not the latest version.
As such, do take note that there'll be some translation errors.)

Technically, this is version 3 of the subtitles. A little too much for my liking, so hopefully this will be the last one :P
