TW's na bio: menção a aborto e machismo.

Biografia:

Li Yaru era a caçula da "Dinastia Li", dividindo laço com um irmão mais velho, o primogênito Mochou. Ao contrário do irmão, de natureza dócil, calma e "good vibes", Yaru era totalmente o oposto - tal como se fossem yin e yang. Literalmente nasceu para fazer com que todo o tradicionalismo dos Li caísse por terra. Irreverente, curiosa, soberba: eram três palavras que poderiam defini-la. Aliás, diferente do primogênito, foi fruto de uma gravidez indesejada. Teria sido um acidente. Só que o acidente poderia ser considerado muito pior por ser uma mulher. Não, os Li rejeitavam tanto uma descendente do sexo feminino que até pensaram em anular sua existência de alguma forma. Fato que não passou despercebido por uma cartomante, que sequer sabia quem era Li Daihua quando a parou para revelar que anos de azar estariam às portas da fortuna do casal, caso desse prática aos seus pensamentos intrusivos.

Pois é, Yaru não nasceu em bons termos - e até hoje, sua mãe esconde um grande segredo. Existe um boato de que a sua pinta no nariz se parece muito mais com a de seu tio, mas é um assunto para um outro momento.

Não poderia brincar com carrinhos, mas Mochou não tinha muito interesse neles também. Não poderia ficar na rua até tarde como ele, não era boa na cozinha, não… Ah, fala sério - no que era boa, então? Em teimar. Diz-se que Mochou fez certinho quando viajou para a Coreia do Sul para um intercâmbio. Tinha a certeza de que faria o mesmo em algum momento. Porém, apesar de extremamente feliz pela liberdade do irmão… A saudade era forte a cada dia que passava.

Através de uma tentativa de mudar de vida - mesmo que tivesse do bom e do melhor - passou a acompanhar um artista de punk rock que passava por Hangzhou. Sua história era bem semelhante a de Devon Aoki: entrou sem tickets, os fotógrafos do evento admiraram o seu carisma e em pouco tempo estava no backstage. Basicamente, o seu carisma consistia em um rostinho bonito. Não à toa, os shows em sua localização passaram a ser mais frequentes. O frontman sempre dizia ser algo sobre a hospitalidade de quem habitava as terras de Hangzhou, mas que nada. Yaru decidiu fazer as malas e viajar o mundo em busca de viver um amor, um sonho e… Futuramente, um coração partido. Mas até aqui, ela não sabia. Ao menos, a experiência a fez uma boa quase-roadie (quebra galho!), entendendo de música uma vez ou outra.

Fugiu de casa e até hoje não possui boas relações com os pais, entretanto, tamanha era a sua ingenuidade por pensar que poderia largar tudo para viver em função de um bandman. Não estavam mais na Woodstock para o termo groupie, porém… O arrastar do chifre no teto, em um momento, começou a doer. Seus planos mudaram a partir daí, embora voltar à China nunca fosse uma opção. Conseguiu se estabelecer na Coreia do Sul com a ajuda do irmão, e através de algumas buscas em áreas próximas, foi assim que encontrou o condomínio.

Tentou vários recursos para que esquecesse um pouco do seu passado com o trauma dos chifres, os pais abusivos e entre algumas outras mazelas. Musicoterapia, consultas, grupos de acolhimento… Bem, nem tudo funcionou, mas nem tudo foi em vão. Entre as várias atividades que praticou, além de musicoterapia, o mergulho a guiou até a sua atual profissão, que ela denomina carinhosamente de "trabalhar sendo bonita". Atua em um aquário em Seul, personificando as fantasias delicadas, extravagantes e curiosas sobre o mundo marinho e sereias.

Sabe que esse tipo de emprego não é para sempre, entretanto, suas vontades também não. Inconstante como a acústica das ondas (e Deus a livre de ser básica), sabe que em algum momento, ficará insatisfeita e almejará mais brilho sobre si.

MHA Chapter 395 spoilers translations

This week’s initial tentative super rough/literal translations under the cut.

tagline 1 No.395 幸せの上に　　堀越耕平 ナンバー395 しあわせのうえに　　ほりこしこうへい NANBAA 395 shiawase no ue ni   Horikoshi Kouhei No. 395 Above happiness  Kouhei Horikoshi (Note: There are many ways to potentially translate this title. “Ue” means top, above, beyond, before, regarding, because of, and many other similar things. I take this title to either mean there’s something more important than the speaker’s happiness or the speaker is doing something because of their happiness.)

tagline 2 トゥワイスが消え… トゥワイスがきえ… TUWAISU ga kie... The Twices vanish...

1 だよな… da yo na... “That’s right...”

8 どこまでいっても落としたりはしないのね どこまでいってもおとしたりはしないのね doko made ittemo otoshitari wa shinai no ne “no matter what you do, you won’t drop anyone.” (Note: This is the same phrasing as the line about Izuku being a nerd no matter what in chapter 348. Literally, the first part of the phrase means “no matter where you go,” but the idiom in English would translate to “no matter what you do.”)

9 寒い…血が出すぎた　頭と体がつながってないみたいに…全く動けない… さむい…ちがですぎた　あたまとからだがつながってないみたいに…まったくうごけない… samui...chi ga de sugita   atama to karada ga tsunagattenai mitai ni...mattaku ugokenai... I’m cold...I bled too much. It’s like my head and body aren’t connected...I can’t move at all...

5 やっぱり嫌 やっぱりや yappari ya “I absolutely hate it.” (Note: To be clear, I think she’s saying that despite this being a competition for survival, she hates this result where only Ochako is the one who dies.)

1-3 この気持ちは本当だから このきもちはほんとうだから kono kimochi wa hontou dakara “Because this feeling is genuine,”

3-4 私の血全部あげる わたしのちぜんぶあげる watashi no chi zenbu ageru “I will give all my blood to you.”

[theshotsheardacrossworlds]

i am intrigued by how prompt 74 would even happen with agi: "Do you even know who I am?"

"Do you even know who I am?"

Agnes stared at the lalafell standing in front of her with her mouth open. "...yes? You're Yararu--"

"YOU ARE DAMN RIGHT I'M YARARU YARU, ONE OF YOUR BEST FRIENDS IN THE FUCKING WORLD!" He yelled, nearly pulling at his hair. "Agi, don't lie to me--"

She looked to Estinien, who shrugged; H'nadia, who groaned; and Purple Harvest, who shook her head. "I-I've never once lied to you, Yararu."

"THEN TELL ME IF YOU'VE MET THE TWELVE!!!! Did you see the Navigator? DID YOU?!?!?!"

Oh shit.

Oh fuck.

What do I even say?!?!?!

Ah yes, I did meet the Twelve and then I killed them because they wanted to die.

Fuck me.

Taking off her glasses and sighing, she decided that honesty is the best policy, as Mum says. "I did."

"I KNEW IT!"

"And then they asked me to end them so they could return to the star."

Nadia's mouth dropped open as did Purple's.

Estinien stared at her, his expression exasperated. Oh hush you, I brought you to see Halone, and you wept like a little child!

"YOU KILLED THE GODS?!?!?!?"

Agnes clamped a hand over her old friend's mouth, her brown eyes wide. "Shut the fuck up, twat. People can't know that! Can you imagine what would happen?! There would be chaos! Riots! And I'd be killed faster than you can say 'nutbutter and jam sandwich.' So please, please, Yararu---just...I met them. They're happy now that they're free from their duties, so let it be."

The lalafell stepped away from the hyur. "Oh alright. But what was she like?"

"Really pretty and cursed like a sailor." Agnes said proudly. Like a true daughter of La Noscea.

Yararu dropped to his knees, head in hands. "MY PERFECT WOMAN IS GONE!"

Nadia, Purple, and Agnes doubled over in laughter.

Estinien rolled his eyes. "Mate, I'm married to the perfect woman."

"AWWWWWWWWW AGI LOOK YOUR GRUMP LOVES YOU!!!" Nadia and Purple yelled with Yararu sniggering.

Estinien's not wrong that they're gremlins, but they're my gremlins. And I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Rihitā “Orewa nanio yarasarete-iru? Koredewa hontoni gakino omorida.”

Richter “What am I even doing here? This really is just babysitting.”

ラヴィーネ「言ってくれるぜ。派手な魔法使いやがって。あんたこそ魔力保つのかよ。」

Ravīne “Itte kureruze. Hadena maho tsukai-yagatte. Anta-koso maryoku motsunokayo.”

Lawine “That’s not a nice thing to say. Won’t you run out of mana casting such flashy spells?”

リヒター「お前たちは魔法学校の出身だろう。老人達は未だに防御魔法中心の消耗戦のやり方でも教えているのか？」

Rihitā “Omae-tachiwa maho-gakkono shusshin daro. Rojin-tachiwa imadani bokyo-maho chushinno shomo-senno yarikata demo oshiete-irunoka?”

Richter “You graduated from magic school, didn’t you? Are the old folks still teaching their students to fight defensive battles of attrition?”

カンネ「どういう意味？」

Kanne “Doiui imi?”

Kanne “What do you mean?”

リヒター「少し魔法史の講義をしてやろう。ゾルトラークの対処法として開発された防御魔法は、魔法そのものに対しては強い耐性を持つが、物質的なものに対する防御性能は、昔とほぼ変わっていない。当然これには明確な理由がある。魔物や戦士の物理的攻撃を防ぐには、十分な防御性能だったからだ。防御魔法にオーバースペックはあってはならない。完璧を求めれば術式がより複雑化し、発動速度に致命的な影響が出る。」

Rihitā “Sukoshi mahoshino kogio shiteyaro. Zorutorākuno taisho-ho toshite Kaihatsu-sareta bokyo-mahowa, maho sonomononi taishitewa tsuyoi daiseio motsuga, busshitsu-tekina mononi taisuru bokyo-seinouwa mukashito hobo kawatte inai.

Kanpekio motomereba jutsushikiga yori fukuzatsuka-shi, hatsudo-sokudoni chimei-tekina eikyoga deru.”

Richter “Let me lecture you on the history of magic. The defensive spell developed to combat Zoltraak is highly resistant to magic itself, but its effectiveness against physical objects has hardly changed since then. Naturally, there’s a clear reason for that. It’s enough to defend against the physical attacks of monsters and warriors. Defensive magic mustn’t be over-engineered. If we aimed for perfection, the technique would become too complex, which would have a fatal effect on activation time.”

リヒター「魔法の歴史は攻撃と防御の歴史だ。だから現代の攻撃魔法は、物質を操るものが主流になった。俺が何を言いたいのかわかるか？」

Rihitā “Mahono rekishiwa kogekito bogyono rekishida. Dakara gendaino kogeki-mahowa busshitsuo ayatsuru monoga shuryuni natta. Orega nanio iitainoka wakaruka?”

Richter “The history of magic is one of attacking and defending. It’s the reason there’s a trend for modern attack spells to involve controlling physical objects. Do you understand what I’m getting at?”

ラヴィーネ「カンネ！！駄目だ！！避けろ――」

Ravīne “Kanne!! Dameda!! Yokero――”

Lawine “Kanne, no! Move!”

リヒター「俺の魔法は物質による圧倒的な質量攻撃だ。そのまま眠っていろ。」

Rihitā “Oreno mahowa busshitsuni yoru atto-tekina shitsuryo-kogekida. Sonomama nemutte-iro.”

Richter “My spells overwhelm my opponents with high-volume physical attacks. Now stay down.”

リヒター「勘弁してくれ。痛めつける趣味はない。それともなんだ、やっぱり殺して欲しいのか？」

Rihitā “Kanben shitekure. Itame-tsukeru shumiwa nai. Soretomo nanda, yappari koroshite hoshii-noka?”

Richter “Give me a break. I’m not interested in hurting you. Or do you want me to kill you after all?”

ラヴィーネ「…不用意に近付いていいのかよ。人の体の六割は水で出来てんだぜ。」

Ravīne “…Fuyoini chikazuite iinokayo. Hitono karadano roku-wariwa mizude dekiten-daze.”

Lawine “Should you be approaching us so carelessly? Sixty percent of the human body is made of water.”

リヒター「それがどうした？魔法というのはイメージの世界だ。人の体にどう水が配分されているのか想像できるのか？それらを取り出して操るイメージは？大量の魔力に守られている魔法使い相手に、どうやってそれをやる？イメージできないものは、魔法では実現できない。それに仮にこの場に水があったとしても、こんな小娘は脅威でもなんでもない。」

Rihitā “Sorega doshita? Mahoto iunowa imējino sekaida. Hitono karadani do mizuga haibun sarete irunoka sozo dekirunoka? Sorerao toridashite ayatsuru imējiwa? Tairyono maryokuni mamorarete-iru mahotsukai aiteni, do yatte soreo yaru? Imēji dekinai monowa mahodewa jitsugen dekinai. Soreni karini konobani mizuga attato-shitemo, konna komusumewa kyoidemo nandemo nai.”

Richter “So what? Magic is a world of visual imagination. Can you picture how that water is distributed throughout a person’s body, and how you’d remove and manipulate it? How would you do that to a mage protected by a large amount of mana? Spells can’t produce effects you can’t picture. And even if there were water here, a small girl like you is no threat to me.”

ラヴィーネ「ハッタリも効かねぇのか。嫌な大人だぜ。でも一つわかったことがある。嘘ついてんな。テメェ。講釈垂れるほどの戦い好きなら、水のある場所で私達を叩きのめしているはずだ。何をそんなに怖がっている？」

Ravīne “Hattarimo kikanee-noka. Iyana otona daze. Demo hitotsu wakatta kotoga aru. Uso tsuitenna. Temee. Koshaku tareru-hodono tatakai-zukinara, mizuno aru bashode watashi-tachio tataki-nomeshite-iru hazuda. Nanio sonnani kowagatte-iru?”

Lawine “Not even bluffing works? I hate adults like you. But I have figured out one thing. You’re lying. If you loved fighting enough to lecture us on it, you would’ve beaten us somewhere there was water. What are you so afraid of?”

リヒター「…大人しくしていろ。俺の役目はお前達を寝かしつけることだ。デンケンが負けない限りはな。」

Rihitā “…Otonashiku shite-iro. Oreno yakumewa omae-tachio nekashi-tsukeru kotoda. Denkenga makenai kagiri wana.”

[aranarumei]

araki hours... going to talk abt his covers of villain and call boy bc they have some of my fav arrangment choices. which is ABSOLUTELY one of the reasons he has some of my alltime favorite covers and is my fav utaite in general. in addition to the fact that i just like his voice lmao. will keep this under a cut bc i babble

ok so villain can be up first. one of my favorite songs, and one of my favorite covers.

first off: his voice is just... so good for this song. i think thats exemplified in both here and call boy, because both of them really suit a voice thats kind of... yknow rough, a bit disinterested? which araki can definitely do. his voice just flows so well with the emotions to me like with the “nee” bit in the second verse, the way he gets like audibly louder and more aggressive? great. one of my favoriteeeee parts in this is around 1:05, where araki does this fun “ooh”ing over the whole “villain villain villain” bit, and it’s so. it made me go back and check the original and i’d thought the part he was singing was just an instrumental line but listening back it actually really sounds like flower’s voice with a lot of effects on it! and i think it is So Cool to be like. re-voicing that bc it sounds sooo good when its brought out like that. and then!! and then at the first chorus with the “ageku no biran” line, there’s just this nice added part in the back that extends to “no” into “no-o-o” and it sounds so good for real. but bc its like. a bit quieter it doesnt rly detract from the silence between “ageku no” and “biran” that the first chorus has... to me at least. i think smthing abt villain that i really love as a song is that its got soooo many lil flairs and flourishes that rly add to the whole thing, and it feels like araki rly commits to showing those off? like all the doubling thats here in this song. its so good. like the way the hits on “life” in the “dakatsu life” really, well... hit. the layered vocals sound so good.

secondly: call boy. gahhh again his voice just sounds sooo good w/ this song. like the whole song itself is this thing of like. oh fuck everything im in a destructive spiral and araki just totally embodies that callous feeling to me. im sure anybody who’s listened to his cover already knows what im talking abt but the line around 0:40 (”naa nandemo yaru kara sa”) is so. like the laugh between “naa” and “nandemo” ABSOLUTELY characterizes the song so well. its such a good detail and doesnt feel out of place at all, especially bc call boy also has a bunch of like those little vocal flourishes and interjections(? idk how to describe them) within the song. other things i LOVE though. in that same line when the “sa” is held out right before dropping into the next line and then the chorus, the instrumental has this little like. it walks up a few notes to build tension. and araki just voices that with lil “ooh”s! it sounds so good. then theres the chorus which is like. it sounds great. again lots of layered vocals which is great! it sounds absolutely explosive and also like, a party so very in-theme for the song to me. and then! the chorus ends with “don’t stop / kamawazu ni mou ippai” which gets repeated with some variation after each chorus. love that line. but araki also adds like some “ooh”ing vocals here which kind of... matches the instrumental? like its working off of the same base structure but it’s really not a one-to-one. but again it like really adds to the impact and it sounds good and I really think it makes it so like. the thing he did before feels consistent and reasonable instead of just random. these lil vocal additions right before and at the end of the chorus happen for all three times the chorus comes around! such a nice detail. and OF COURSE i have to mention the last line (”won’t stop / shinu mae ni mou ippai”) because oh my god. in the og this line is basically sung how it is in the first chorus, but the “i” in “ippai” is accented/held just a lil for some oomph. araki goes and like. changes the rhythm a little and ends up landing on a much higher note than how the usual line ends and it absolutely is just like. oh great that had so much energy to it that i’m ruined for other covers now.

ok thats everything. i hope i could describe this well enough bc i know fuck all abt music.

Kobayashi’s Maid Dragon S2 Episode 9 Notes

...設立から大分地盤が固まってきており、少しずつだが、業態は改善されている。

One thing to note here is that Kobayashi(‘s narration) isn’t saying the company has already made solid improvements, it’s that the company has finally established itself somewhat (as it was only founded relatively recently, and typically new companies are especially busy while trying to get off the ground) and now is starting to make improvements.

Similarly in the second sentence, it’s not “was” slow going, it’s “is still” slow going, and the working conditions “are” improving, not “have improved.”

This is がんば ganba, short of course for がんばって ganbatte, which I’m sure most of you are familiar with: the (in)famous “do your best.”

I only mention it because I like this shortened version of it. Ganba!

This is a fun little idiom(?)/saying: 鼻で笑う hana de warau (conjugated as hana de warawareta), lit. to laugh using the nose. It’s used to describe laughing at someone you’re looking down on for whatever reason (not necessarily in a super serious way, could just be a friend being dumb etc.; in this case it’s Elma’s being naive).

Typically it refers to like a “heh-but-through-the-nose��� kind of “laugh,” but as you can see in this scene (where clearly Kobayashi is laughing with the mouth, even starting with “pff” lips) it works idiomatically even if the laughing isn’t only through the nose.

You may have heard that Japan is/was a “lifetime employment” country, where typically people would get hired right out of school and stay at that company until retirement. While that’s much less true today than it was even a couple of decades ago (and has become kind of controversial in ways), it’s still much more common of a practice than in say the US.

One result of this is that there’s a much bigger distinction placed between hiring people in spring as part of the annual graduation rush (the Japanese school year ends in March), and mid-career hiring. Typically you can’t participate in the fresh grad hiring if you aren’t one, even if you’re new to the field in question. 

For larger employers (i.e. 5k+ employees), roughly two-thirds of all hirings come from fresh grads, and only small employers (<300 employees) hire more mid-careerists than people directly out of school.

Of course, this split tends to apply mostly to “standard” full time jobs, not so much part time, and is not necessarily a thing in every industry/at every company.

Just as a minor point of clarity, this “organized text” in Elma’s document refers to the phrase まとめられた文章 matomerareta bunshou. In a literal sense, matomerareta can mean organized/consolidated etc., and bunshou text/passages, but meaning-wise it’s more like “writing that gets its point across clearly/cleanly.” 

This is a pretty big compliment and a very useful skill to have in organizations like this, as writing such that people can quickly and easily understand exactly what you’re trying to say often saves a ton of time and frustration.

我々はエルマの気迫に押されるがままにその書類を読み始めた。

Another minor point, but where the English could imply that they were overwhelmed by Elma’s intensity through the act of reading her report, the Japanese implies more that they started reading it because of how intense Elma was being. 

It doesn’t really make much of a difference either way, but it stuck out a little for me. 

To justify mentioning it, I guess I’ll explain the grammar point Kobayashi uses: されるがままに sareru ga mama ni. Sareru is a generic verb/verb conjugation for having something done to you (technically here it’s 押される, to be “pushed/pressed/pressured”), and mama refers to a state, condition, or “way” (like “do it this way”).

Put together, the whole phrase is used to indicate “you” do/did something that someone else wants you to, without (meaningful) opposition. (Something similar in raw meaning but with a very different connotation would be “going with the flow.”)

If a friend says “hey let’s go do something,” and next thing you know you’re out bowling despite preferring to stay at home, this is you.

You can stick the mama ni to various other things as well to come up with a similar idea, but without the sareru the nuance may end up different. 

The word for clairvoyance here is 千里眼 senrigan, lit. “eye(s) [that can see] a thousand li”, li being a Chinese unit of measurement for length (shorter than a mile, but for general purposes “eyes that see a thousand miles” is basically the gist).

Despite the perhaps physical-sounding nature of the term, it does actually describe the same power as “clairvoyance” in English: being able to perceive things outside your actual range of vision, including potentially into people’s hearts and minds etc.

Hence why it’s a thousand screen display, when she updates it with tech knowledge:

“Tainted by work” here is 職業病 shokugyou-byou, lit. an occupational disease. The “proper” definition is a disease one gets from working in a particular job, such as black lung for coal miners or even posture-related health issues for desk workers. 

Additionally, it’s used colloquially to refer to noticeable habits or quirks that people in a certain profession pick up, like a baker always waking up super early or a programmer using programming lingo out of context in normal conversation. The latter being especially noticeable in Japanese, as a lot of such terms are English in origin.

“Shocking” here is a fun word: ドン引き don-biki. “Don” here is added just for emphasis; the main meaning revolves around 引き hiki/biki, from the verb 引く hiku, meaning to pull. 

The idea is that someone does/says something that you recoil from. Maybe it’s gross (“I only shower once a week”), maybe it’s mean (“They didn’t smile enough so I didn’t leave a tip.”), maybe it’s creepy (“I sent like 30 texts yesterday but still no reply.”), just anything that has you feeling like you might want to create some distance because... phew. 

It’s kind of similar to the current use of “cringe” as an adjective/noun, though with less of an internet-slang feel* to it, and generally used more as something the speaker is doing rather than describing whatever/whoever is being cringe. 

(*I think it started being used popularly in this way in the early-to-mid 90s, with the “don”biki variant specifically popping up around 2005.)

A “Premium Friday” is the last Friday of the month, where you get to leave work at 3 pm. It is largely theoretical. 

The idea was created by the Japanese government as a way to reduce working hours and encourage domestic spending (boost demand), but it has not been implemented by all that many employers, and especially not many smaller employers. There isn’t, after all, any mandate or government-provided incentive for doing so.

Evidence from the places that did implement it suggests it is actually good for the economy, but good luck convincing bosses to give extra paid time off.

“Last Friday of the month” was chosen because most people get paid on the 25th each month (Japan tends to pay monthly instead of every two weeks), so it would usually be right after payday, when people are more willing to get spendy.

Kobayashi saying eight hours here reminded me of a “fun” fact: the typical Japanese work day is eight hours plus a one hour break. Plus a one hour break, not with. So a typical work day is actually nine hours. Most commonly 8 to 5 or 9 to 6. Not many “nine-to-fives” here.

The characters for Joui are 上井, which usually read as Kamii or Uwai. It’s “Joui” because that means, when written as 上位, “superior.” As in “a superior life-form.” Like a dragon, say.

でも、ゆっくりやる事業改善案を見せてもらえたじゃない？

This one is actually kind of a critical mistake. In the English it sounds like she’s talking about the improvement proposal that Elma made and that the boss looked at. In the Japanese though, she’s talking about a different plan, one the boss showed them*, that is similar in idea but is going to take longer to be fully implemented**. So we’re being told that while Elma didn’t get what she wanted as fast as she wanted it, it is still basically going through at a slower pace.

*In ”見せてもらえた misete moraeta,” the misete vs mite means they were the ones who got shown something, rather than the ones who got someone to look at their stuff. 

**Which you can tell from the ゆっくりやる yukkuri yaru, where yaru is basically “do” and yukkuri means (in this case) at an unhurried pace.

(Re previous note: Hence why she says “immediately” here.)

“Black (ブラック)” and “white (ホワイト)” in the context of Japanese employers refers to how well employees are treated: a company with good benefits/pay, reasonable levels of overtime, and feels safe to work at is “white,” while a company that has excessive overtime, often pays poorly, breaks labor laws, and allows harassment to fester is “black.” 

While “white company” was created simply in contrast to the term “black company,” the latter finds its origins in front businesses for organized crime, which were called “black” in the sense of “illegal” (similar to “black market” or something being in a “grey area”). Given the international reputation of Japanese work life, you can imagine that “black company” as a term sees much more use.

There’s been some discussion about maybe replacing it due to the racial implications (especially since it uses the English word “black”), but while typically English translations drop the color for that reason (e.g. ブラック企業大賞, an “award” given to Japan’s worst employer each year, is officially “Most Evil Corporation of the Year Award” in English), it hasn’t really penetrated to the mainstream at this point.

The rice there is in a 飯盒 hangou, a metal container that looks… like that, and is the stereotypical item of choice for cooking rice while camping. It has its origins in the mess kits used by the military, but these days they’re primarily marketed as portable rice cookers for camping use. 

You can get round ones too, but the bean shape is very popular.

“Settings” here is 設定 settei, lit. exactly that, “setting(s).” E.g. if you open a computer program and look at the settings menu, it’ll be settei in the Japanese language settings (settei). 

I bring it up here because there’s a bit of a difference in how it gets used colloquially like this. In English, the “setting” for a story typically refers to where and when it’s set. In Japanese, “setting” in that sense is usually 舞台 butai. But settei is still used when talking about fiction, just in a different, more expansive way.

Often in these cases settei is used to refer to the various conceits that provide the context in which the story takes place. In this show, for example, one such “setting” is that dragons are real: another is that magic exists. It comes up especially often in fantasy/sci-fi type stuff where there are major distinctions between that universe and the real world—not that stories in a real-world setting don’t have settei of their own, but they often are lumped into descriptions of the plot in that case (”a dragon comes to live with an office worker in her apartment”).

It also refers to the “settings” of characters, like name or age, and things like “they run a bakery that’s going out of business and are trying to save it.” Basically all the details you’d have in a character profile.

It also gets used in conversation to refer to pretend things or (basically) lies: like here, where Saikawa thinks Shouta is playing pretend with his ley-lines talk, or e.g. if someone is trying to tell you some outlandish story (“my uncle works at Nintendo…” or someone asking for love life advice for “their friend”) and you’re just like “Okay so that’s the settei here, I see.”

Not really a big deal, but Elma’s line here in Japanese implies she won’t let Tohru call her that anymore (see her もう mou). Tohru’s response is also more of a “I haven’t been?”, since of course she wasn’t aware of Elma’s-mental-image-Tohru tormenting Elma in the previous scene:

The word for “full of” in the title here is ざんまい zanmai (a suffix form of 三昧 sanmai), usually meaning that there’s a whole lot of [whatever] to immerse oneself in. I mostly bring it up because there’s a famous restaurant chain called Sushi Zanmai that specializes in, obviously, sushi.

And you know, Elma is a water dragon that looks kinda like an eel… I’m just sayin’…

Not really a translation note, but wild that Elma didn’t even touch her parfait. (Not so wild that Fafnir finished his so quickly.) Serious business ahead...

“Genuinely” here is 素直に sunao ni, where the “ni” is used like “-ly” to make sunao work as an adverb. Sunao itself is an interesting word that falls into that category of “simple concept that is often hellish to translate.”

For some context, the first character, 素, is also used in the word 素顔 sugao, which is a face without makeup and 素材 sozai, basically raw ingredients/materials. The second, 直, is used in words like 直線 chokusen, a straight line, or 正直 shoujiki, honest.

Put them together, and you’ve got a word with connotations of directness and being unadorned. The original definition of the word tends toward “simple, natural” in the sense of e.g. life growing up on a rural farm. 

The more common use for it these days is to describe people and their actions. Positively, it can mean something similar to a person being happy to help, or kind of like the opposite of conniving; open, frank, genuine. Less positively, it can mean someone is too trusting and easy to trick into doing things OR someone who is “too honest” and says hurtful things. 

(If it helps: tsundere characters are often described as explicitly not sunao.)

In this case, the idea is that Tohru accepted the invitation easily as-is, without putting any conditions on it, or doing any “ugh, what a pain, do I have to, jeez” rigamarole—she just accepted. Another way you could put it in this case might be “It’s even more unusual for Tohru to accept an invitation like this without a fuss.”

Just to point out the hand on head thing again.

Also just to point out that this is another example of otsukare, as a reminder of how ubiquitous that word is.

And it makes a good place to end on: thanks for reading!

Conozco los puntos buenos de Satomi-kun.

Incluso si es un personaje "oraora", es una súper buena persona.

Es tan amable que no se enfada aunque me invite a comer por tres días seguidos... ¡¡¡y me niegue!!! (10)

Es realmente tan buena persona que resulta muy deslumbrante de ver.

La debilidad de Satomi-kun es que es demasiado amable.

El pecado de Satomi-kun es que es demasiado genial.

...ah, ¿te estás avergonzando?

Cállate.

¿Te avergüenza? ¡Hey, hey! lol

❀❀❀❀

(1) No sé por qué habla de enseñar a leer los kanjis, pero hazme el favor, Riinu, aún no entiendo una gran cantidad de kanjis. TT

(2) Hizo un juego de palabras, porque route y root se pronuncian igual en Japonés: ruuto.

(3) *Se sonroja y gime*.

(4) Sonrojado. No porque es color rojo.

(5) No sé si dice "si gano" o "si ganas". Si es la primera, la recompensa en los labios se le ofrece a los que presencia la batalla: si es la segunda, creo que se la dará a Riinu. En cualquiera de los dos casos, no me quejo.

(6) Hazte pendejo, Root.

(7) ¿¿¿¿SATOMI???? Pteranodon.

(8) Primera, suena muy gracioso que lo diga así. Segunda, alguien explíqueme por qué relacionan tanto a Satomi con los músculos, el ejercicio y esas cosas, he visto que cuando participan en el drama de Jel y Tooi-san, siempre habla de proteína pero VKNSKJVFJKFV NO ENTIENDO. TTTT

(9) Ya llévense a dormir al abuelito.

(10) No sé si dice "y me niegue" o "y no me niegue". En cualquiera de los dos casos, alguien normalmente se molestaría: es una falta de respeto negarte a salir a comer cuando te invita tu senpai (Satomi es mayor que Colon por 3 años y 3 meses, y varias veces he escuchado que los miembros lo llaman senpai), así que negarte tres veces sería casi como decirle que no te agrada o algo, mientras que aceptar la invitación salir a comer tres días seguidos... Satomi gastaría en la comida de Colon, aparte de la suya, tres días seguidos (¿o quizá la gente con dinero no se molestaría por ello y yo sólo tengo mentalidad de pobre?).

(11) Es alcohol, he visto que lo consumen algunos utaites (como los miembros de mono palette. o de ChocoRabi).

(12) Gracias, Jel. Eso me dijo mi profesor cuando le dije que no entendí el tema.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!" "You can't master Kung-fu in a day!" "That heart is... Tai Chi Manju Chuan!" "Woo-Waah!"

"Sichuan! Beijing! Guangdong! Shandong! Fujian! Shanghai! Pork fillet ramen (YA!)"

"Sichuan! Beijing! Guangdong! Shandong! Fujian! Shanghai! Tai Chi Chuan! Ha!"

(One, two) Even if I'm called hopeless (Xièxie) That's no good, even if they think I'm a bother (I do it when I got to!) Overcome your chagrin and get up now (Ha!) The prize I'm aiming for lies beyond learning I want to be stronger Than yesterday

So that I can catch it now with my hands Yī èr sān sì wǔ liù qī* We join forces and yīqǐ jiāyóu* We'll take back your heart Clap your hands, come, you too - Hello, nǐhǎo Fight even against a much stronger opponent Now, master the Tai Chi Manju Chuan Ha!

"Sichuan! Beijing! Guangdong! Shandong! Fujian! Shanghai! Pork fillet ramen (YA!)"

"Sichuan! Beijing! Guangdong! Shandong! Fujian! Shanghai! Tai Chi Chuan! Ha!"

(Hi-yo) Even if you're troubled by stupid things (Tài bàng!*) That's no good, there's nothing good happening (I do it when I got to!) Get up again and again without giving up (Ha!) We travel to the end of learning Tomorrow I want to Be even stronger

There are times when you feel a little down Yī èr sān sì wǔ liù qī Friends are strength, yīqǐ jiāyóu Take back that scroll Clap your hands, come, you too - Thank you, xièxie Don't fear a much stronger opponent First, master the Tai Chi Lamen Chuan Ha!

"Ah, I can't take this" "You can't become a teacher if you're losing your heart like this" "I'm not interested in that..." "Ah, you're just pretending to be tough" "That's not true!" "For real~?" "I'm gonna show you then. Right, follow me!"

"Right! Left! Yes yes!" "Right! Left! Yes yes!" "Right! Left! Yes yes!" "Right! Left! Yes yes!"

"Is this really the Tai Chi Lamen Chuan...?" "Hmm, I don't have a clue" "Well, anyway, let's just go!"

Overcoming a big hurdle It may be impossible by yourself, but if we're together...

So that I can catch it now with my hands Yī èr sān sì wǔ liù qī We join forces and yīqǐ jiāyóu We'll take back your heart Clap your hands, come, you too - Hello, nǐhǎo Fight even against a much stronger opponent Now, the usual Tai Chi Manju Chuan Now, master the Tai Chi Manju Chuan Ha!

"Sichuan! Beijing! Guangdong! Shandong! Fujian! Shanghai! Pork fillet ramen (YA!)"

"Sichuan! Beijing! Guangdong! Shandong! Fujian! Shanghai! Tai Chi Chuan! Ha!"

Notes: * “Yī èr sān sì wǔ liù qī” simply means “one, two, three, four, five, six, seven” in Mandarin; * “Yīqǐ jiāyóu” means “doing our best together”; * “Tài bàng (le)” means “great!” or “awesome!”, things like that. Mandarin written in katakana is a disaster lol It took me a long time to realize they were just saying numbers in the chorus... oh well.

Kaibutsu-san (Monster-san)- Ken Hirai & Aimyon lyrics and translation

Usual disclaimer: I’m a JP student, not fluent, still learning. I also try not to do literal translations because it can feel stale. It’s more important to me to preserve the feeling than to give you a boring direct translation. Translation notes: My first time translating a duet! This one is juicy. Been obsessed with this song since it came out, so I’m very happy to finally get around to it. I had too much fun color-coding their text. The music video concept is so delicious too.

-----

Treat me the same as those other women I'm just not smart enough to be worthy of you

You're not what I'd consider precious, I'm sure to get tired of you So lie to me like you're kicking a pebble, and let me have peace of mind for now

I want to laugh and say I don't know, don't know I want to play the fool and say I don't understand, don't understand

But all I really want is For the me who loves you to go away, go away Right this minute, right now, just go away Completely disappear, disappear, if it has to be you This me that I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate so much

Hey, look how casually I ask if you're okay You're just being nice out of habit Whatever, I just want to hear your voice Oh, Hopeless Me Ah, I couldn't explain it if I tried I won't say I understand anyway Whatever, I still want to see you today This version of me Just go away!

Keep looking at me through that savvy pink filter The sound of your gulping thirst reaches my very core

You won't hear a thing from me, I don't want to see that hollow face But if it makes you feel better, I'll keep swallowing up your constant lies

I want to dance and say I don't know, don't know I want to party and say I don't understand, don't understand

But all I really want is For the me who loves you to go away, go away Right this minute, right now, just go away Completely disappear, disappear, if it has to be you This me that I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate so much

Hey, listen to the song I'm humming You're the only one who notices I can't help hoping a little Oh, Hopeless Me Ah, stay with me even if you look elsewhere Stay kind just the way you are Whatever, I still want to see you today This version of me Just go away!

But all I really want is For the me who loves you to go away, go away Right this minute, right now, just go away Completely disappear, disappear, if it has to be you This me that I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate so much

Hey, look how easily I ask if you're okay You're just being nice out of habit Whatever, I just want to hear your voice Oh, Hopeless Me Ah, I couldn't explain it if I tried I won't say I understand anyway Whatever, I still want to see you today This version of me Just go away!

Tell me what makes me so different from those other women Being without you is something I really can't imagine at all

でも本当は いなくなれ　いなくなれ　あなたを好きな私 いっそ　いっそ　いなくなれ 消えてしまえ　消えてしまえ　あなたじゃなきゃ絶対 嫌な　嫌な　嫌な　嫌な　嫌な私

ほら　大丈夫？って容易く聞く　 ぺらっぺらな優しさだけど とにかく声が聞きたくなる　 ダメな私 あぁ　説明なんて出来ないから　 わかってなんて言わないから とにかく今日も会いたくなる　 こんな私 いなくなれ

私がそこらの女と何が違うか教えてよ あなたがいない私なんて　 本当は考えられないの

Title: THUNDERBOLT Artist: The QUEEN of PURPLE Lyrics: SATSUKI-UPDATE Composer: Hiroyuki Maezawa

Translations

Tap on the top!! Top of the rock!!

Smartly making a living under the pressure of everyday virtues you throw around smiles making only the best lies It annoys me

Nothing can snatch this away I also won't look another way Hello what's up dog, honey? On top of the diagonal zap of the beat Don't you feel like being able to smash that head crown

Let me hear it The war cry, that sounds just like thunder Without proof or dependence Your locked up melody

Hey Yo Tomorrow which could never be snatched away We'll bite it, smash it We'll make 'em have it The THUNDERBOLT of real instinct

Tap on the top!! Top of the rock!!

The night-play of gods denying things even if there is nothing in particular Trying around embracing and being embraced [1] It's making me sick

You want to do things without dirtying your hand? You don't wanna have anything troublesome? Hello what's up dog, baby? You barely want to attack those up and above? Don't you feel like punching those stupid faces

Force it down their throat, that one thunderbolt-like attack wandering not knowing what to do, whilst losing your escape This slightly dirty Melody

Hey Yo The incomparable feeling is helplessly turning into a shout The true character that remains cowardly, once again, make it Rock-on

And while you writhe and squirm, Dead!!

Let me hear it, that war cry, that sounds like thunder Without proof or dependence Your real self's Melody

Hey yo Tomorrow which could never be snatched away We'll bite it, smash it We'll make 'em have it Top of the rock "THUNDERBOLT" We won't let go of our goal It has long been decided

Tap on the top!! Top of the rock!!

[1] TL note: this can also mean ‘have sex’, or it can mean your usual innocent hugging. So in another way, while also being literally correct, it may mean "Trying to fuck around and being fucked" with the literal meaning of "fuck".

Please do not re-translate or post this translation anywhere.

Namikaze wo tateru na to Dareka ni aisouwarai Shout Jiishiki kajou de

“Don’t go stirring trouble,” I give an insincere smile to someone and shout All the while being way too full of myself

Reizouko no naka ni wa Hito wo netamu tane sura nai Mamizu wo nomihoshite

Inside the refrigerator, There ain’t even anything for me to be jealous of others I drink up the fresh water

Kimi no kotoba ni furafura ni naru Wakacchairu keredo mo Kangae sugite RODAN mo massao Tada, tsuyoku are to

Your words have me wavering Although I already know, I’m over-thinking so much I put Rodin* to shame Just “Be strong.”

Ganjigarame da yo Akuma ga abaki dashita COMPLEX Nogare, nogareteku Dame to muri ga butsukari

I’m bound hand and foot The devil exposed my COMPLEX I’m escaping, evading Helplessness and unreason collide head on

Umaku waraenai Sonna hibi ni GUBBAI dangou sezu ni Ima wo ikiru hito Futari omou jibun e to

Without making any sweetheart deals, I’ll say goodbye to those days when I faked a smile The person living in the moment Becomes someone who thinks of "us”

Kuraberarenai I / Original na I Kuraberarenai I / Original na I

I cannot be compared / Original is what I am I cannot be compared / Original is what I am

SHATSU ni shimitsuiteta Make kuse nara kawaranu Lies Arai otosou ka

Ingrained in my shirt, My habit of losing remains unchanged How about I wash off the lies?

Hidane wa soko kashiko ni Mie wo haru no wa yamete, ima Hadaka ni naru yuuki

Triggers are here and there I’ll stop showing off, now I have the courage to lay myself bare

Ano hi no chikai, guragura shiteru Yaruccha yaru keredo mo Kezureta memori, Life wa makka sa Saa, idomu toki da

The oath I made that day is wavering But I gotta do what I gotta do Life is an utter series of shaved successive stages Now, it’s time to throw down the gauntlet

Subete tsukamitai Akuma wo shitagawaseru COMPLEX Noboritsumeteike Dame to muri mo sono te de

I wanna get my hands on everything The devil conforms to my COMPLEX Climb to the top Helplessness and unreason with those hands

Arashi, tobikome yo RAIN girigiri wo seme hiyaase kake Kore ga" ONORE" da to Sora ni sakebi mirai e to

Plunge yourself into the tempest Attack the borderline and break into a cold sweat “This is ‘ME’,”  I shout to the skies and face the future

Ganjigarame da yo Akuma ga abaki dashita COMPLEX Nogare, nogareteku Dame to muri ga butsukari

I’m bound hand and foot The devil exposed my COMPLEX I’m escaping, evading Helplessness and unreason collide head on

Subete tsukamitai Akuma wo shitagawaseru COMPLEX Noboritsumeteike Dame to muri mo sono te kara

I wanna get my hands on everything The devil conforms to my COMPLEX Climb to the top Helplessness and unreason with those hands

Kuraberarenai I / Original na I Kuraberarenai I / Original na I

I cannot be compared / Original is what I am I cannot be compared / Original is what I am

ENGLISH:

The cruel and cold-hearted lone wolf.

  Wow

Wow

Don’t you

think so?

  Only self-centredness and lack of common sense can be seen.

The clashing (One of) egoism and (The best) contention (Oh) somehow look alike.

  To get hurt.

To be hurt.

I’m afraid of it.

I’m slowly

being scared

of the darkness.

My real intention…

I want to believe, seriously.

I want to act honestly.

Let’s reach

the arrival point together.

Because,

for some reason,

I can understand,

that’s why.

  (Fiction?) Imagination and illusions (Non-fiction?) Lies and truth.

Ah

There is

no need

to answer.

(Fiction?) The future we want to face (Non-fiction?) The tomorrow we’re aiming for.

They’re one and the same.

A season that won’t happen again.

I’ll give you a taste

of these harmonics.

  Even taking one step is fine. That’s my law.

  Wow

Wow

Don’t you

think so?

  When things like trust come into play,

we get a chance to shake hands with a life we believe in one more time.

  If we make

a mistake

even on small things,

it will be

a great history

that can change

the way things go.

It’s because they do that

we get another day like this.

A dance just for the two of us.

Today is

a special

meeting

of change.

Our distance…

  (Fiction?) The screams of the soul. (Non-fiction?) Lies and reality, too.

Ah

It doesn’t

really matter.

Trust me, trust you.

(Fiction?) Let those feelings out. (Non-fiction?) The chains of their impact,

they go hand-in-hand.

We’ll show you

that our way of life

is the best!

  There’s something

I want to say.

I have a vision.

This thing called

“a bond” and

the emotions [behind them]

will make an everlasting bond.

You can say that it’s tactless.

But, isn’t it just like us?

This melody of distortion,

isn’t it just

self-contradiction?

I mean,

everything is

our bright song.

  (Fiction?) Imagination and illusions (Non-fiction?) Lies and truth.

Ah

There is

no need

to answer.

(Fiction?) The future we want to face (Non-fiction?) The tomorrow we’re aiming for.

They’re one and the same.

A season that won’t happen again.

I’ll give you a taste

of these harmonics.

T/N: wow this is late whoops (I took more time writing in the romaji than actually translating otl apologies for my laziness)

The innuendos in this song otl

This part was a bit of a pain but I will do my best

「出逢えた奇跡さえ／忘れるくらい スピードを上げて」and「出逢えた奇跡さえには／忘れるくらいスピードを上げて」

Okay so「出逢えた奇跡さえ」would be “Even the miracle of (our fateful) meeting” and then the following line means something along the lines of “Speed up the process of forgetting”? So it sounds kinda like a terrible thing to say anyway you put it. The way I think it’s meant to be interpreted tho is sorta like. Acclimating so much that it becomes natural to feel as if you’ve always been together? Sorta. I don’t think I’m making any sense tbh.

「裸」is to bare all/be naked, etc.「～(の)まま」is “~as is” to sorta indicate a current state of being? So whoever Gakkun’s singing to, he’s inviting them to jump into his arms, even if they’re either currently, a) naked, or b) being open and truthful about their intentions to be with him? I think. Something like that.

In「苦しみは いつの日が／幸せを描くだろう」,「だろう」indicates some level of certainty. Like it’s not 100% certain, but it’s far from 0%.

As always, if there are any mistakes please let me know!
