#also grasping hands dot meme at blaming Hiei

[melchinafan]

They've been super helpful! I also used your song name formatting to add English/romanized text to the tracks I ripped, 'cause it's been uh. The only source I could find that wasn't missing anything and was consistent about how things were romanized. ^^' (Animelyrics my beloved, but alas it doesn't have instrumental tracks/names. The wiki's just outright missing some stuff. And VGMDB has all the albums and when they were released and credits and stuff, but some albums are missing track title translations.)

Aaah, I feel that (hyperfixation vs. ADHD executive dysfunction). I watched YYH back when it was airing on Toonami but only recently finished watching it because they stopped airing it in the middle of the Dark Tournament...and with how much I drew them in high school (plus their relatively simple designs), I think Hiei and Kurama are some of the only characters I can draw from memory with full accuracy even after like, a DECADE of not. But I'm apparently currently possessed by the spirit of knitting (and designing patterns?? which is new for me), so even though I have ideas for some cool things I'd like to draw of them, I just...haven't. Executive dysfunction is such a pain in the ass. D: (I do have my ripped YYH playlist going while I work, though, so. There is that, plus the thinking about it frequently. XD)

Your frame collection sideblog is really rad, too! It's great to be able to just sit and study frames that are hard to land on while scrubbing through video. So many neat little details that are hard to catch, with how fast they can fly by! (Although, even looking at the frame collection for the intro, I still can't quite put my finger on what it is about Kurama's running animations that's just...always so uniquely stunning. Especially in side profile? It's like...there's a specific focus he's got or something that just looks cool. But it's fun to get such a good look at Hiei's claws, too. >:D) For the dialogue transcripts, would it not work to make another YYH sideblog? I dunno if the scripts might be too long for tumblr's word limit per post, but if it's close/half-ish you could maybe break it up? Or at least post a key chunk of script per episode, and then link to the full episode text elsewhere? (I dunno what the current landscape is for making fansites, but that'd also be a great option, if it's reasonable to make and manage them?)

Here's the Super Dance Mix skit translation! (Plus the reblog I did of OP's post, since they had changed their username since first sharing it...which I can go edit to credit/tag you in since I linked your youtube channel, if you'd like!) I had already gleaned that the DJ Time tracks were clearly HILARIOUS. (Hiei cackling so often, and going "nya~"?! Kurama clearly doing his damnedest to be a good show host, despite the utter chaos?? Stunning, love it.) But having the translation make the hilarity even more clear, like the utterly brilliant comedic timing of that one singular dramatic key click. Also that Hiei apparently has a propensity (at least when written by Shigeru Chiba in these CD dramas?) for challenging people...by questioning whether they know the difference between two similar-sounding words? He did it in the first Warrior's Hunger skit, too. And of course, Kurama's always the one to answer. XD (Though Hiei misinterprets some similar-sounding words in some of the DJ Time tracks, so it's a wonder that his challenge format never comes back to bite him in the ass...)

What a small 'net! I saw a reblog of your normalize post, & your avatar caught my eye. So I figured I'd peek at your blog in case you had more shiny stuff to see, & noticed you encourage folks tag you in Kurama & Hiei stuff. I pinned in the back of my head that, after checking out your stuff, I should ask if you want a link to skit translations from the Dance Mix CD—then saw YOU'RE the one who made the beautifully-organized Yu Yu Jukebox! That helped me figure out what CDs I wanted to buy! :D <3

yoo hell yeah!! im glad that helped you out!! its always nice to see the things i make can be useful :3 and nice that my kurama icon is catching the eye of fellow yyh fans hehe!

yu yu hakusho is a huuuge hyperfixation of mine, but my adhd has been making me struggle with focusing on doing the creative stuff i wanna do (like drawing and writing), so ive been instead doing a shit ton of other things revolving around yyh- like collecting the music and making the yu yu jukebox channel, ripping frames to post and organize them on my sideblog @reikai-records , and ive also been working on making a dialogue transcript for the dub (still unsure where to put it online when im done with that tho, atm i just have it on google docs, not too far on it)!

i cant remember if ive encountered translations for the skits of the dance mix cd though, id def love to see that!
