Kobayashi Toranosuke as Sagawa Taichi Hidamari ga Kikoeru / I Hear the Sunspot Episode 1

[nicks-den]

Ossan no pantsu ga nandatte ii janai ka episode 9 eng sub

Okita Makoto is a middle aged man working in a company leasing office equipment. Stuck in his conservative Shouwa era views, he is disliked by his subordinates and alienated from his family: a homemaker wife who likes Korean idols, a fujoshi daughter, and a teenage hikikomori son currently exploring his gender. Life begins to change for Makoto when an unexpected friendship with a gay student inspires him to update his black-and-white perspective. (synopsis by me)

In this episode Kakeru speaks up, Moe and Makoto have a talk, Mika and Makoto go to a concert, and Madoka makes a decision.

This is again one of my favourite episodes, but it was also probably the hardest one to sub.

I try to finish the remaining two episodes next week.

For pride month, I'm excited to share this special movie I've been working on this month. It deals with pansexuality which is often not represented enough in most media. Look forward to it!

This drama has so many stellar actors, it's crazy.

Notes

There's a black box at one point that says kasuhara = kasutamaa harasumento, I left it untranslated because it's a clarification for Japanese speaking viewers

Pyon is a sound describing a nimble jump. It can also be used in cute nicknames like Kazuki - Kazupyon or at the end of sentences for a cute effect.

"Old pond — frogs jumped in — sound of water." This is a famous haiku by Matsuo Bashou: Furu ike ya / kawazu tobikomu / mizu no oto. Many translations have been published, I chose the one by Lafcadio Hearn because it fit the subtitle line the best lol.

Hidamari ga Kikoeru

As already announced a month ago, I'll be working on the subs for the adaptation of this manga. While I cannot beat gaga's subs in terms of speed, I'll do my best to post before Friday. Since it'll be earsubbed, there might be some minor errors at first, so I hope you can forgive those. Hardsubs and softsubs will be available to all on my site.

Disability is a topic close to me (hence my past 4 disability projects) and I've been a fan of Nakazawa Motoki ever since I first saw him, so I have very high hopes for this one.

Thank you as always! It's cool to see Harada Taizo again. I do kinda miss this tragic ship though.

Notes:

Daichi's boyfriend Madoka-sempai is from Kagoshima, the southernmost prefecture on the island of Kyuushuu. He speaks a dialect on the phone, and I felt that this code switching was significant, so I made him speak Southern American English. Apologies in advance to all American southerns for potentially butchering your language, I'm just a humble Finnish speaker y'all.

I'm so happy you enjoyed it and that I could also help others enjoy this beautiful movie! Your description of the movie is very spot on.

Japanese QL Corner

We're entering a bit of a slowdown after a glut of Japanese ql earlier this year, but there is still a great show airing and other delights to be found to fill our time while we wait for the next wave to start. This first show is on Gaga and I highly recommend watching!

At 25:00 in Akasaka

A quiet, contemplative installment this week as Hayama put on his Glasses of Despair and went back to his hometown to do some soul-searching while Shirasaki tried to drink away his self-imposed grief. This one felt a little draggy to me, as I don't think we learned anything new about Hayama that wasn't revealed to us last week--I didn't need him to explicitly verbalize all the things acting did for him after we had already been shown so elegantly with the flashback episode. And we're still stuck in essentially the same place we've been for a couple weeks now, with Shirasaki preemptively rejecting Hayama and both of them struggling to keep their heads in the game to finish filming the show and get through their love scene. Still, it wasn't a bad episode--I enjoyed seeing the cast bonding and starting to get in their feelings about the show ending. We only have two episodes to go, and it looks like next week we get to see them film that love scene, wrap the show, and (I hope?) finally communicate properly.

Bonus: Can I Buy Your Love From a Vending Machine?

A hat tip to @respectthepetty for putting the recent fansub by @nicks-den on my radar so I could watch this lovely film! This is a very sweet and fun little bl movie about an office worker who has a massive crush on the vending machine loader who services his office and their attempts to connect with each other. The film is low budget and does not have much of a plot beyond that, but the character writing is great and it’s a really sweet story that will leave you content. This one gives us Known Gays nervously trying to clock each other, a supportive female work bestie, classic Japanese drama miscommunication issues, and everyone being very kind and respectful to each other throughout. I highly recommend it!

Tagging @bengiyo for a manga update.
