[vashtijoy]

So the conversation you can have with Futaba in the attic after the interrogation room has always bothered me, she says something along the lines of "You weren't the only one risking your life, y'know? Everyone else was in danger too."

Which... Is a weird thing to say to your best friend/brother figure after he risked getting shot in the head and beaten to a pulp underneath the police station. It just comes off as creating a problem that didn't exist...

Nobody thought the other thieves weren't in danger, No one said that they didn't have it rough.

Just seems like an out of pocket thing to say in that situation. Which makes me wonder if it was yet another translation boo-boo. I don't know for sure, I'm going to keep looking into how I could translate it.

Does this stick out as weird to you? Or is it just me?

Hi, anon, thanks for your question! The immediate answer is that Futaba qualifies that statement a little in Japanese:

Futaba わたしも、みんなも、こう見えて 、わりと体張ってたんだぜ。 watashi mo, minna mo, kou miete, wari to karada hatteta n da ze It may not have looked like it, but everyone else was risking their lives too. [lit. I and the others, despite how it looks, were risking our lives a bit too.]

(Incidentally, note her ze there—a very masculine particle which Futaba is fond of, which goes well with her rather rough and ad hoc speech.)

That wari to means "relatively"; "kind of", or "sort of". "We were all in a bit of a pickle too." As she goes on to emphasise, while Ren was in the most danger, everyone else was in some danger:

Futaba ま、命賭けでホントの��捕までされた{F1 82}が一番��んばったのは、間違いないけどさ。 ma, inochi kake de honto no taiho made sareta <Ren> ga ichiban ganbatta no wa, machigai nai kedo sa Though there's no doubt you were the most at risk. I mean, you actually got arrested. [lit. but you, Ren, who bet your life and went so far as to get arrested for real, did the most, there's no doubt about that.]

Somewhere along the line Futaba's "you gambled with your life and even got arrested in real life!" has turned into the rather understated "you actually got arrested"—which again contributes to her seeming to understate what Ren endured. Her "you did the most" is 頑張る ganbaru, a word most anime types know very well—it means to give it your all, to keep at it, to persist, to be tenacious; to fight against all odds. "You gave it everything, you bet your life, you got arrested!"

Don't forget that, while Futaba is ICly speaking to Ren, she's also performing exposition here. We, the audience, are the ones who should not forget that all the PTs were in danger. It's a bit clumsy, but what can you do.

I do think this exchange of Futaba's has to be taken together with the immediate followup section, which is all about what the PTs had to do—the events of the 11/20 cinematic, after Ren's arrest:

Futaba: Well, since the rest of us didn't get captured, we had to act. Futaba: We had to pretend we never wanted you to get arrested… Pretend the suicide news was a real shock… Futaba: Basically, we had to act like we didn't know anything, 24/7.

acting vs acting

I'm going to highlight the first line of this one, since it contains an error:

(Doesn't she look pleased, all of a sudden? It doesn't quite match the tone of the English—but goes very well with her pride over their little one-act play.)

Futaba 捕まらなかったわたしらの、一番のシゴトは『芝居』だ。 tsukamaranakatta watashira no, ichiban no shigoto wa "shibai" da Well, since the rest of us didn't get captured, we had to act. [lit. the main task of the rest of us, who were not arrested, was "acting".]

Do you see the confusion? The localisation has Futaba say, "we had to act"—that is, in English, "we had to do something". But the intention of the line is "we had to act our parts"—that is, they had to put on a play or a drama! They had to engage in the craft of acting!

This exact error crops up in at least one other place, with Akechi in Shido's Palace:

Akechi 学業に励み、優等生を演じ、正義の名探偵として、名を上げた。 gakugyou ni hagemi, yuutousei o enji, seigi no meitantei toshite, na o ageta I devoted myself to my studies, acted as an honor student, and made my name as an ace detective. [lit. I devoted myself to my studies, played the part of an honor student, and made my name as an ace detective of justice.]

See the error? The Japanese words are different, but the translator, again, didn't know how the verb "to act" works in speech. So Akechi just sounds like he's saying "I acted like an honor student"—his emphasis that this was a performance is lost.

Lastly, there's no doubt the other PTs were in genuine danger. Witness Shido's order to take the rest of them out next, earlier on 11/21—which Akechi evades:

[problematic-yuri-poll]

PROBLEMATIC YURI TOURNAMENT BEGINS!!

about the polls!

polls will be a week long each. they will all be made in advance and then scheduled to post an hour apart. there may be gaps in between as sometimes we can't make all polls at once.

reblog with propaganda all you want!! not all submissions came with propaganda so it's especially welcome.

p.s...... the submission form will remain open still for the purpose of future brackets!

this post will be pinned and polls will be linked here as they're made.

content ratings are currently really rough just to make sure no one gets in trouble reading them at work/school/in public. if something is marked as "gore/violence" it might be minimal gore or just violence; if something is rated explicit it might just be, like, one sex scene. in future brackets we may make more elaborate ratings.

vote for what you think is the BEST problematic yuri, not necessarily the MOST problematic yuri!

【Ei】 It’s bright, I reach my hand out to the spreading light to grasp it

There’s a scenery I want to climb up to, grasp and show to you

I want to kiss you

At the highest point

【Ei】 It’s pride, “Don’t be afraid of change”, being stuck on the same place is no good

【Va】 So cool, I want to set an example with dignity while living life to the fullest

【Sh】 Even if we know that the end of the world

【Ng】 Is just around the corner,

【Ki】 Even if we lose our voices and can't stand up,

【Ej】 And even our tears dry up

【Ya】 Shall we become someone else's wings and

【Va】 And charm them flawlessly?

【Ei】 We swear it in HE★VENS’ name… Ah

【All】 Don't mistake the meaning of loneliness and solitude

Even in “suffering”, you’re not alone

Let's embrace eternity together,

Being loved and loving and calling it love

【All】 Shine, miracles! Go across the sky and beyond!

Fly, wings of song!

Power, courage, resound on the musical notes

Believe and follow us

Into a new history

RADWIMPS 「スパークル - movie ver.」 - 歌詞と英訳

wow, what a throwback! my friend became (rightly) obsessed with this song recently, so i translated the lyrics for her. enjoy this classic :)

まだこの世界は僕を飼いならしてたいみたいだ 望み通りいいだろう 美しくもがくよ

it seems this world is trying to tame me again as you wish, and i’ll struggle beautifully too

互いの砂時計眺めながらキスをしようよ さよならから一番遠い場所で待ち合わせよう

we’ll kiss while watching each other’s hourglasses let’s meet at the place farthest from goodbye

辞書にある言葉で出来上がった世界を憎んだ 万華鏡の中で8月のある朝

i hated this world that was make from words in the dictionary one august morning inside a kaleidoscope

君は僕の前ではにかんでは澄ましてみせた この世界の教科書のような笑顔で

you seemed shy and reserved in front of me with a smile like one out of this world’s textbooks

ついに時はきた 昨日までは序章の序章で 飛ばし読みでいいから こっからが僕だよ 経験と知識とカビの生えかかった勇気を持って 未だかつてないスピードで君の元へダイブを

it’s finally time, until yesterday it was the preface to the preface you can just skim it, because i’ll take it from here with my experiences and my knowledge and my moldering courage with never before seen speed i’ll dive to where you came from

まどろみの中で生ぬるいコーラに ここでないどっかを夢見たよ 教室の窓の外に 電車に揺られ運ばれる朝に

inside a dozing dream in a lukewarm soda i saw someplace that wasn’t here outside the classroom window in the morning being swayed and carried by the train

愛し方さえも君の匂いがした 歩き方さえもその笑い声がした

even the way you love smells like you even the way you walk sounds like your laugh

いつか消えてなくなる君の全てを この目に焼き付けておくことは もう権利なんかじゃない 義務だと思うんだ

some day you’ll disappear and be lost so burning your everything into my eyes is no longer my privilege, i think it might be my duty

運命だとか未来とかって言葉がどれだけ手を 伸ばそうと届かない場所で僕ら恋をする 時計の針も2人を横目に見ながら進む そんな世界を2人で一生いや何しょうでも 生き抜い��いこう

we fall in love at the place where no matter how much i grasp at them words like fate and future will never reach the clock hands watch us out of the corner of their eye as they march on in this life—no, in any life, the two of us will survive such a world as that

Nobody Expects The Japanese Jooster: Some Fun Translation Notes

Hey, guys. Are y'all aware that in the Japanese translation of "Bertie Changes His Mind", the line where Jeeves says "I'm fond of Mr. Wooster" is translated as 「私はウースター様が好きでございます」 (or, "watakushi wa Wooster-sama ga suki de gozaimasu")? Because I'm sure not normal about this.

Tl;dr: this line now reads like a love confession. (If an amusingly keigo-ridden love confession, because even in his internal dialogue Jeeves is physically incapable of not sounding aggressively polite.) More under the cut.

Now, please note that I am not fluent in Japanese, so take all my words with a grain of salt. But I have, at the very least studied it for several years, am currently living in Japan, and have listened to a great number of Japanese love songs. And this is how I would like to share that if you "ga suki" a person, this can and very often does mean you are in love with them.

Technically, "suki" just means "like". If you like apples, you'd say "ringo ga suki". If say, tennis is your favorite sport, you'd say "tenisu wa watashi no ichiban suki na supootsu" - with "ichiban suki" literally meaning "number one like". "Daisuki", or "big like", is the one that is often used for love - but boy is just plain "suki" used a hell of a lot.

Take this translation of "Ano Yume o Nazotte" (or "Tracing That Dream"), for example. Here, the translator has written it literally as "I like you", but contextually the song makes it pretty probable that it's a confession of romantic love. Or have a look at the Project Diva translation of "Suki Kirai" ("Like-Dislike" or "Love-Hate"), which makes "suki"'s usage in romantic love quite clear. There's even a whole conversation about the subject of love confession and translation in The Great Ace Attorney - this links to a fan-translated Let's Play so the original Japanese dialogue is visible, but the conversation happens similarly in the official localized version, though it manifests a bit differently. Regardless, both versions discuss "suki" as used to confess feelings of love.

What I'm saying is, wow, holy shit, Tamaki Morimura made a rather strong choice when using "suki". Because no matter the intent, that potential implication is absolutely going to be present in a reader's mind. And if you're wondering why I know this in the first place, it's because this line is used (in very slightly altered form, as "Wooster-sama" is exchanged for "the young master") in the manga, Please, Jeeves, which in large part uses Morimura's translation for its text, and... well. Let's just say our good pal Bun Katsuta seems to rather leaned into that with the expression.

Yeah.

And this goes in tandem with other aspects of the manga, like an added line that, to my knowledge, is not present anywhere in the original text (certainly not in the story that chapter adapts, "Jeeves in the Springtime"), in which Jeeves says that Bertie's shortcomings do not prevent him from being "beloved as a person". Not to mention the other choices the manga makes, such as having Jeeves wink at Bertie incessantly, or occasionally having hearts float around Bertie when he talks about Jeeves, or the panel at the end of "Without the Option where I swear to God it looks like Jeeves is trying to reach for Bertie's hand.

So, between the official translation and the manga adaptation, I'm not saying we have a Spanish Destiel situation on our hands... but I'm certainly implying it.

(My final note is that this is one of the favorite book series of Empress Emeritus Michiko. Which, with this added context, is very funny to me. I wish she had an open email address so I could ask her if she thinks they're in love.)

Pairing: Starish X afab!Reader X Quartet Night

Synopsis: On this momentuous night, MC ends her visit with a special song dedicated for each of her beloved idols.

Word Count: 1,504

Tonight's the night. The night that she finally finished visiting them. She already seen their smiling faces and their unique personalities, each and everyone differ from each other and it truly captured her attention.

The [h/c]ette teen hummed a gentle tune that was written by no other than the girl herself—For You. It was the song that she wrote to express her feelings for each and every one of her beloved idols, and that's the reason why she's very jubilant tonight.

[E/c] eyes wandered around the place as she walks; the blooming, pink leaves of the famous cherry blossoms caught her attention successfully. The bright, full moon shone its white moonlight down unto her figure, an opaque shadow forming right behind her walking form.

After meeting everyone from both St☆rish and Quartet Night, [Y/n] left the premises and decided to take a midnight stroll once again outside. She arrived at the garden that was filled with bountiful cherry blossoms everywhere. A smile found its way unto her lips once she saw the moon giving light to the place, several pink leaves floated around.

'Koko ni aru no wa

Kimi ga ima made eranda michi no

Kotaetachi yo

Hora jishin motte susumeba ii

Totemo shizen na no

Ameagari no asufaruto ni

Niji ga kakaru you ni'

She sang. Her angelic and soft voice resonated around the place, creating an echo of delicate harmony. The wind picked up and made the leaves of the trees sway, some fell off from its respective branch and floated pass the girl. Her [e/c] orbs reflected the shine of the moon as she halted to a stop, her figure glistening under the heavenly arrays of light. The previous soft breeze gently caressed her [s/c] skin whilst her hair danced along with the evening winds.

'Lonely kaze ga fuite

Feeling ki ga tsuita yo

Kotae wa doko ni mo nai kedo

Call me wakatteru wa

With you ai wa itsumo

Atae au mono'

[Y/n] reached a gazebo and slowly trudged her way towards it. It was designed with ivory, marble tiles, and white, wooden pillars on each corner, vines climbing up until it reaches the top. The white roof was painted with a cherry blossom design, covering most space with pink and green hue. In the middle of the gazebo was a lone white, wooden bench. She sat on it and closed her eyes, relaxing her body as she leaned back. The girl continued to sing her heart out, both of her hands clutched on her chest. Her eyelids slowly fluttered close, deciding that it is better to sing with closed eyes to be able to feel the emotions surging through.

'For You

Kitto kimi wa itsu no hi ka

Kono sora o toberu hazu dakara

Nando tsumazuita toshite mo

For You

Taisetsu na koto wa hitotsu

Yume miru koto

Kokoro dake wa tozasanaide ite'

Unbeknownst to her, three members of St☆rish heard her sing and taken by curiosity, they decided to search for the source of the voice. Though even without any evidence, those three knew whose voice that was. They knew that it belonged to no other than [Y/n] herself.

Red, brown and bluish-black hairs emerged from a corner and their eyes immediately fell on the gazebo. There they saw the silhouette of the girl sitting on the bench in the middle of the gazebo.

Otoya's reddish-orange eyes stared lovingly at [Y/n]'s silhouette from the distance, listening attentively to her angelic voice. As for Tokiya, he was entranced by the girl's harmony with his blue eyes dilated wide in surprise. Though a small smile soon tugged his lips.

"[Y/n]-chan's voice is blessed by the muses..." Cecil breathed, taking in every tune.

'Kizutsuite mo namida korae

Gaman shiteta yo ne

Sonna kimi o ichiban chikaku de

Mitekita kara

Nani mo iwanakute mo

Wakatteru yo

Donna toki mo gambatteta koto'

As the song progressed, a pair of blondes appeared from behind the building, rounding the corner and soon their eyes landed on the gazebo before them. The two blondes, one tall and one short, immediately stopped in their tracks and stared at the person from afar.

Natsuki's emerald eyes lit up in recognition of the voice. "It truly is [Y/n]-chan!"

"Ssh! Not so loud, Natsuki!" Syo instantly scolded the taller male in a hushed voice. "You don't want to ruin her performance, do you?"

"Sorry, Syo-chan..." Natsuki rubbed his head apologetically.

The two didn't exchange words after. They stayed silent and focused on listening to [Y/n]'s singing. Syo and Natsuki once heard the [h/c]ette sing before, and the first time that they did, they were enthralled by her delicate song and gentle voice.

Syo's blue hues softened as he gazed at the girl's back, watching her from the shadows. He leaned on the wall with his arms crossed, deciding to close his eyes in order to feel the emotions even better.

As for the tall, glasses-wearing blonde, he had his hands clasped together in front of his chest. A genuine smile sported his lips, along with gentle gem-colored orbs filled with excitement.

'Lonely mayotta nara

Try again nando datte

Yarinaosu koto dekiru kara

I'm here soba ni iru wa

Believing osorenaide

Shinji au koto'

"Well, well, well~ If it wasn't little kitty~" Ren purred quietly while emerging from the garden of trees.

Masato soon joined him and his sapphire eyes spotted the girl singing in the distance. His eyes widened by an inch after realizing whose silhouette was that. "It really is her..."

"Told you that it was her voice~" the blonde teased, chuckling slightly.

"Shut up. I know it's her, I'm just making sure," Masato remarked, closing his eyes in the process.

"Whatever you say, Hijirikawa," Ren shrugged and leaned on a tree.

The two decided to stick for a while and listen to the girl's singing. After all, this was their first time hearing her sing and the first time they ever heard her voice this angelic. Both males had a small smile on their faces.

'For you

Kitto kimi mo itsu no hi ka

Kono sora o toberu hazu dakara

Nando kizutsuita toshite mo

For you

Taisetsu na koto wa hitotsu

Yume miru koto

Hitomi dake wa sorasanaide ite'

A blue-haired android appeared from the other side of the garden, his face showed no emotion whatsoever. Along with him was the blonde count who looked very serious.

"I never thought that [Y/n] would be singing here," Camus stated, walking closer to hear her properly.

"I agree," Ai nodded. "Though it seems that we're not the only one who're listening while she sings. Look."

Camus's cerulean hues went from the trio of Tokiya, Otoya, and Cecil to Ren and Masato then lastly to Natsuki and Syo. The count scoffed and closed his eyes. However, he didn't appear as he was irritated, rather, he seemed to be delighted as shown by his small smile on his lips.

"Let them be. [Y/n]'s singing had the power to enchant her listeners; It's like magic."

"I can agree with that," a smile tugged the blunette's lips as well.

'Kimi ga egaku yuuki ga hora

Kakegae no nai takaramono ni kawaru yo

Ima ryoute hiroge Fly high'

"Heh~ I can't believe that I would be able to hear her sing again," Ranmaru mused, a grin etched on his face.

"You heard her sing before, Ran-Ran?" Reiji asked, catching up to the silverette who stopped a few meters away from the gazebo and stared at the person sitting on the bench.

"Yeah. Only once though."

Reiji fixated his gaze on the girl and decided to listen to her singing. The song sent warm sensations throughout both males' body and somehow, it made them happy inside. The brunette smiled and clenched his pounding heart.

"Your voice sends warmth to anyone..."

'Kitto kimi wa itsu no hi ka

Kono sora o toberu hazu dakara

Nando tsumazuita toshite mo

For You

Taisetsu na koto wa hitotsu

Yume miru koto

Kokoro dake wa tozasanaide ite'

As [Y/n] finished the last words, she heard new voices singing 'La~la~la~' in the background. Her lids shot open in surprise and saw the boys walking slowly towards the gazebo she was currently in. The [h/c]ette didn't stop, however, instead she continued to sing and hum the last part of the song.

She slowly closed her eyes again, feeling all emotions surging through her being and filled her with warmth and happiness. All 11 idols soon emitted their own warmth and it combined with her own, engulfing all of them.

At last the song has come to an end, her voice slowly died down as well as the boys. [Y/n] opened her eyelids and revealed [e/c] eyes staring back at her beloved idols' multicolored ones. She smiled brightly, blush painted her pale cheeks. All of them had smiles on their faces as well.

"For you..."

[morimyulyrics]

I'm always so soft at the way John is with Sherlock. Even more so in this scene. Their songs always leave my heart feeling fresh and renewed, because they are so genuine with each other, even more so John. And here, John lets Sherlock know how important Sherlock is to him. I specifically love the references to their song in Op. 4. The blue sky. Such a refreshing song, delivered with such powerful emotion.

I drove you to the wall But--no, not but, and that is why, Sherlock I want you to understand, above all else what it truly means to be a friend

Know that because you are around, life is happy No matter how dark the days may be, I can keep living Because the only thing I wish in life is to walk under this blue sky with you

You chase after mysteries, and save many other people But I want you to love yourself too Under this blue sky, under which we swore to each other My most important, dearly beloved friend*

I hope for it, from the bottom of my heart

心の友よ：I sat on it for a bit. I wasn't sure how to put the words in English, bec I feel like in Japanese there's so many layers to the term. To explain it a bit further, it refers to a friend who you are in wonderful terms with, and yet it goes even deeper than that. Like your hearts are so similar, your hearts are friends, you understand each other that well. "Dearly beloved friend" is the closest I can think of for it, and I can only hope it captures the deep essence of the term.

So many japanese learning apps just throw complex words at you and just say "This is how it's pronounced, here's the word" and just expect you to look at these kanji, completely foreign to you, and memorize them.

電話番号 means "phone number" it's pronounced "denwabangou"

And that was something a different app tried to teach me right away.

Now I know 電 is electricity, it has the kanji for rain at the top, and what looks like a little umbrella handle at the bottom. It's pronounced "den"

話 is "Speak" and it is made up of the kanji for "say" and the kanji for "tongue" smooshed side by side. It's pronounced "Wa"

番 is the kanji for number in a series, or turn. "Ichiban" is number one, and this is the "ban" at the end of ichiban.

号 is pronounced "gou" and I learned it meant "number" quite a while back.

So now when they tell me 電話 is "denwa" and it means phone, and 番号 is "bangou" and it means number, I can remember "Oh right! 電話番号, I remember something else trying to teach me that a long time ago."

Anyway. If you're trying to learn japanese, I highly recommend something that will teach you Kanji first. Rather than trying to learn by whole words or just the sounds of words.

My translation of the lyrics to "Rokutousei" by Zarame

A NOTE ABOUT THIS TRANSLATION: The lyrics in Japanese are ambiguous about the pronouns on purpose so that they can apply to so many characters in multiple ways (AND THEY SHOULD). As with many English translations of songs and poetry, I took creative license to translate these lyrics in the way that hits me hardest and you know what way that is.

Also I need you to understand before you read this that a "sixth-magnitude star" is the faintest brightness of a star detectable to the human eye. That makes the chorus something of an oxymoron, where the singer is singing about a bright light being swallowed by a dim one.

Kanji:

涙の跡が消えない横顔 瞼に残る 戸惑うことも許さない刹那 怒りに震えた

帰る場所にも似ていたこと 失うために 出会ったわけじゃないんだ 声を　言葉を 優しい熱さを 心に灯して

消えちゃいそうなほど 命が足りないんだ 君を照らせない 光に意味はない

消えちゃいたいくらいの 六等星の瞬き 一番星を掻き消すような 君の声を探してる

消えちゃいそうなほど 小さな命でも 一番星を掻き消すような 君の声を探してる 君の声を探してる

Romaji:

namida no ato ga kienai yokogao mabuta ni nokoru tomadou koto mo yurusanai setsuna ikari ni furueta

kaeru basho ni mo niteita koto ushinau tame ni deatta wake ja nainda koe wo kotoba wo yasashii atsusa wo kokoro ni tomoshite

kiechai sou na hodo inochi ga tarinainda kimi wo terasenai hikari ni imi wa nai

kiechaitai kurai no rokutousei no matataki ichiban-boshi wo kakikesu you na kimi no koe wo sagashiteru

kiechai sou na hodo chiisana inochi demo ichiban-boshi wo kakikesu you na kimi no koe wo sagashiteru kimi no koe wo sagashiteru

Translation:

The profile of a face with traces of tears that won't disappear lingers in my memory* In a brief moment when I wouldn't let my guard down to even be confused I trembled with anger

It's like a place I return home to That doesn't mean I met you just to lose you With your voice, your words, Light up my heart with gentle warmth

I guess this is where I disappear** My life is running out*** I can't shine on you My light is useless****

I just want to disappear Like the twinkling of a sixth-magnitude star drowns out the first evening star I'm searching for your voice

I guess this is where I disappear** Like how even the smallest life drowns out the first evening star I'm searching for your voice I'm searching for your voice

*This phrase is an idiom that reads literally as "to remain in one's eyelids" but means "to live on in one's mind, to remain in memory." **Literally, "It seems like the point at which I disappear." ***Literally, "Life is lacking." ***Literally, "There's no meaning in my light."

Plays every time you want it to

With the sound of the heartbeat in your chest

That we’ve forgotten from childhood

Hey… Let’s go find it together

Come on, take my hand
