To celebrate the creation of @ask-mr-movien I figured I'd try a new strategy of promo; edits!

[ask-mr-movien]

☆LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!!☆

I an the one and only Yokai Genius Film Director and Curator, Directator. Or Genius Film Director and Curator Mr. Movien; responsible for the most awarded firms in Yo-History such as Yo-Westward!, Yo-Titanic, and more!

General Info

Name: "Reggie" F. Movien

Tiles/Alias:

Yokai Genius Film Director and Curator, Directator

Yokai Genius Film Director and Curator, Mr. Movien

Directator

Mister Movien

Reggie (by his family)

Pronouns: He/They/It

Profile: An essentric yokai known for his bizzare yet successful films, winning many awards to the point he's become egotisical, insisting to be referred to with the full title "Genius Film Director Yo-kai Mr. Movien" though other variants of this title sprouted and become accepted, with inital annoyance. Hence "Directator"

He's been looking for actors to star in his film; will you be one?

[jinmenkennel]

oh yeah, this site has a lot of papercrafts, the link above leads to a tag of yokai watch themed ones. there's a downloadable PDF for each.

oh my god that Manjimutt.

your favourite yokai may not be on there but still, an impressive number of the little guys. maybe it'll inspire you to make your own?

edit: there's a few paper crafts missing from the new site so I hosted ones I saved on google drive:

it includes:

Katie Forester / Fumika Kodama

Mermother / Izanami

Leadoni / Michibiki

Casanuva / Motemacool

Directator / Mr. Movien

Snee / Muramasa*

Tengu

Dame Dedtime / Tokio Ubaune*

Infour / Yotsume

Mermadonna / Yaobikuni*

*includes preview image of how it looks assembled. the rest don't have previews so you're just gonna have to go by your gut feeling when putting them together.

If vayashis11 reuploads the PDFs on their site, I'll take these down. have fun!

[shitty-yokai-watch-a-day]

Weird question, but did you do Directator/Mr. Movien yet?

I have not, but I think I'll have to turn this request down. There are several aspects to Directator's design that remind me of caricatures of Black folks (the pronounced lips, the hairstyle, the eyes, the large ears; especially all put together – it's a recurring issue within this series), and so I am uncomfortable with drawing this youkai. Thank you for understanding

[tumblunni]

A little bit of existential horror! Clodzilla is apparantly NOT actually a bad actor who died, but a yokai spawned from his abandoned costume that just..somehow remembers being that human even though he wasnt?? Like did this guy's soul just split into two or something? Is he a clone of him? Wtf would happen if the two of them met??? Like fuckin imagine how scary it would be to wake up eternally trapped in your costume, but then you see LITERALLY YOURSELF walking past and you open up your zipper to find nothing inside

WHY DID YOU RAISE ALL THESE QUESTIONS, YOKAI WATCH

Anyway, Directator has a lil montage of parodying various godzilla sequel names

Yaaay even the AD assistant dudes came back!! They seem rather off in this episode though, theyre not as animated actually doing stuff and instead are more like stock images filling space in the background. Not a single line of dialogue :(

I guess this is whats to be expected from Directator just being a small supportibg role ib this episode but still im like GIVE ME MORE OF MY BOYYY

Predictably, Clodzilla keeps messing up his takes. Although this time its cos he tries too hard to avoid failing that he ends up being the worlds most polite dinosaur with zero intimidation factor

But Directator loves it all! He was such a good choice to cheer up a failing actor, his sense of cinematography is so completely bonkers that its no wonder he instantly became Clodzilla's biggest fan!

Wiggly boy

i made some of my favs (+ tooni) in animal crossing.

if you want me to do more, ask meh-

"Eehehehehe~ Go on~ Say it." "....what's updog." Ringing in the new year with these two. Hoaxy-Coaxy annoying his more movie-inclined offspring because he’s a dork like that. @jinmenkennel did the very rough sketch of this a couple months back and I liked it so much I tightened it up and colored it.

[zekewatson]

Birthday art for my friend Krystal! It’s a fusion of Mr. Movien and Komasan from Yo-Kai Watch!

Yokai Watch 3 ver. 3.0 Translation

(Masterpost for my Yokai Watch translations can be found here)

This will contain spoilers for a sidequest of Yokai Watch 3 (ver. 3.0), so proceed with caution.

With that being said, this will be a translation of the entire “The Local Yōkai's Village Revitalization” sidequest.

I think when the 3.0 Update was first released, this was one of the new quests that quickly gained a lot of attention, for reasons that are probably obvious. Overall I enjoyed it quite a lot myself, it has fun character interactions. It’s cute.

I go through these scene by scene. (There will be links to watch the scenes on youtube, too.)

Bolded is original Japanese; for reference and in case someone who is better at Japanese than I reads this, and feels like correcting something.

Bolded and italicized is my translation.

(Number) Indicates I got a specific comment to make on that part in the translation notes.

Please keep in mind that I´m a beginner when it comes to Japanese, so it’s possible that I make mistakes, too.

Talking to Harry Barry:

Harry Barry: ……。 ...

Nate: ケマモン？ どうしたの？ Harry Barry? What's wrong? (1)

Harry Barry: ケマモト村のPR方���について ずっと考えていたケマ。 Harry Barry has been trying to think of a good method of PR for Harrisville for a while, kema. (2)

Whisper: 私にはボーっとしていたようにしか 見えませんでしたけどねぇ。 To me it looks more like you're a bit out of it.

Harry Barry: そんなことないケマ！！ That's not it, kema!!

Harry Barry: もっともっとケマモト村をPRし�� たくさんの人で にぎわう村にしたいケマ！ Harry Barry wants to use PR to make the village bustling with even more people, kema!

Nate: 手伝うのはいいけど… 村おこしって どんなことをすればいいんだろう？ I would like to help, but... what can we do to revitalize the village?

Harry Barry: 今どきの村おこしなら 「聖地巡礼」は外せないケマね〜！ When you go for Village Revitalization these days, you really can't go without "Seichi Junrei", kema! (4)

Harry Barry: ないケマよ。 No, kema.

Nate: えっ！！ What!?

Whisper: あーた… これでどうやって 聖地巡礼させるつもりなんです？ Whoops... So then how are you planning to utilize Seichi Junrei?

Harry Barry: これから映画をつくるケマ。 By making a movie, kema.

Harry Barry: 映画が大ヒットしたら みんながいっぱいケマモトに来て… If the movie becomes a huge hit, everyone will come to Harrisville, and...

Harry Barry: 観光収入もガッポリケマ！！！ There’s gonna be lots of tourism income, kema!!!

Nate: 映画って… そう簡単に 作れるものじゃないでしょ…。 But a movie is... not something you can just make that easily...

Whisper: そうでうぃす！ 脚本や映画監督もなしに作れるわけが… That's right, whis! Making one without even having a screenplay or movie director is...

Nate: ん？ 映画監督…？ Hm? Movie director...?

Mr. Movien: オッケーデース！ この村を舞台に 映画をつくりマース！！ OK! I will make a movie set in this village!! (6)

Nate: わぁぁ！！ やっぱり出た！！ Wahhh!! He really showed up!!

Mr. Movien: フフーン♪ ここは空気も水もキレイで とてもいい村デース！ Huhum ♪ The air and water here are so wonderful, it is a very nice village!

Mr. Movien: ちょうど美しい背景を活かした映画を 撮ろうと思っていまシター！ I have been meaning to shoot a movie that takes advantage of such a beautiful background!

Mr. Movien: ということで さっそくロケハンでーす！ 撮影に使う場所をさがしてくだサーイ！ With that being said, first is location hunting! Please find places that can be used for shooting!

Nate: この流れってやっぱり オレたちがさがすんだよね…。 Looks like we're gonna be ones doing the searching, the way this is going...

Nate: …まあ おばあちゃんの村が 映画の舞台になるってことだもんね！ ...Well, it's so grandma's village can become the stage for a movie!

Mr. Movien: 必要なロケ地は ５か所デース！ We will be needing 5 locations!

Mr. Movien: 映画のヒロインは 田舎町で暮らしている 設定にしマース！ The setting is the movie's heroine living in a rural town!

Mr. Movien: まずは ヒロインが住んでいる 大きな古い家が必要デース！ First of all, we need a big, old house, where the heroine lives!

Mr. Movien: そのヒロインが通っているのは 村にある小さな学校デース！ That heroine will attent a small school in the village!

Mr. Movien: そして 田舎と都会をつなぐのどかな駅… 村の子は みな都会に憧れているのデース！ And a peaceful train station that connects the countryside and the city... all the village children yearn for the city!

Mr. Movien: ストーリーに 神秘性をもたせるためには 神社的なお寺的な神聖な場所もいりマース！ And in order to make the story mysterious, we will also need a holy place, like a shrine or temple!

Mr. Movien: 村を見渡せる場所も ほしいデース。 山の頂上なんかが うってつけデース！ I also want a place from which you can see the entire village. The summit of a mountain would be perfect for that!

Nate: うん わかったよ！ さがしに行ってくるね！ Alright, got it! We're gonna go look!

Notes:

In the Japanese version, Harry Barry is called Kemamon, which is, of course, a reference to Kumamon. Related to that, Harrisville is called Kemamoto in Japanese, a reference to Kumamoto.

In the Japanese version, Harry Barry ends his sentences with ケマ/kema, which is derived from his name. He also uses his own name to refer to himself instead of using a first-person pronoun.

The term he uses to refer to the revitalization of the village is 村おこし/mura okoshi in Japanese. This is a term that from what I can tell refers to a type of community building that is specifically focused on rural villages, often to try and make up for most of the younger people moving out to live in larger cities, leaving mostly elderly people in the villages.

聖地巡礼/Seichi Junrei is a Japanese term that literally translates to Pilgrimage to Holy Places, but is nowadays used by some Japanese fans of pop culture (and some non-Japanese fans of Japanese pop culture) in the way that Whisper explains a bit later.

Nate here uses hiragana to spell the word instead of kanji, which in this case is likely a visual cue used to indicate that he doesn’t know the word at all. He understood how it’s pronounced based on hearing it, but not what it means.

In the Japanese version, Mr. Movien slightly drags out the endings of his sentences (like -desu and -masu, for example) and they’re written in katakana, implying he pronounces them a bit unusual, which in this manner is often used to imply that a person has an accent. Adding to that, he occasionally uses English words, implying his first language is supposed to be English. I’m a bit less sure about this next part, but from what I can tell his manner of speaking is also rather formal, which is somewhat common with foreigners, as they’re more likely to learn formal, “text book” Japanese first.

Showing Mr. Movien the School:

Whisper: ケマモト村の学校っていったら やっぱりココですねぇ〜？ If it’s a school in Harrisville that we need, that can only be this place, yes?

Nate: うん 小さな学校の条件には 当てはまりそうかな！ Yeah, it's perfect as a small school!

Mr. Movien: オッケーデース！ ここならロケ地に使えそうデース！ OK! We will be using this as a location!

Mr. Movien: 木造の古めかしい校舎が とーってもイイ味をだしてマース！！ This wooden, old school building has great character!!

Mr. Movien: 幼なじみのクラスメイトたちと 都会のオシャレなカフェについて語る日々… The days spend talking about fashionable city cafes with one’s childhood classmates...

Mr. Movien: ん〜！ サイコーデース！ イメージがどんどん湧いてきマース！ Mmm~! It is the best! I can downright picture it ! (1)

Note:

I'm a bit unsure if I got the second line here right.

--

Showing Mr. Movien Grandma's House:

Nate: おばあちゃんの家だったら 大きなな古い家にピッタリかな！ Grandma's house would be perfect as a big old house!

Mr. Movien: オッケーデース！ ここならロケ地に使えそうデース！ OK! We will be using this as a location!

Mr. Movien: う〜ん… ヒロインと妹… そして おばあちゃんとの和やかな日常… Hmm... The peaceful every day life of the heroine and her little sister... and their grandma...

Mr. Movien: とてもいい絵が とれそうデース！！ We will take some very nice shots here!!

Nate: よかった！ Good!

Showing Mr. Movien Mt. Middleton Summit:

Whisper: 村を見渡せる山の頂上とえば ここ キウチ山でうぃすね！ How about Mt. Middleton Summit here as the village-overlooking mountain summit!

Nate: うん！ いいながめだね！ Yeah! The view is great!

Mr. Movien: オッケーデース！ ここならロケ地に使えそうデース！ OK! We will be using this as a location!

Mr. Movien: 主人公は ここから村をながめて ひとつの決意をするのデース！ The protagonist will look over the village from here, and make his decision!

Mr. Movien: 感動的なシーンになること まちがいなしデース！ There is no doubt that this will be a moving scene!

--

Showing Mr. Movien the Temple of Virtue:

Harry Barry: この村にあるお寺は 一徳寺だけケマ。 ここなら神聖な場所になるケマ？ The only temple in this village is the Temple of Virtue, kema. Can this be the holy place, kema?

Nate: たぶん大丈夫だと思うけど…。 I think that should probably be alright, but...

Mr. Movien: オッケーデース！ ここならロケ地に使えそうデース！ OK! We will be using this as a location!

Mr. Movien: 理想をいえば 神社がベストでしたが お寺でも 全然オッケーデース！ Ideally, a shrine would have been the best, but a temple is also completely OK! (1)

Mr. Movien: この村に 古くからあった一徳寺は 村のみんなを見守っていマース。 The Temple of Virtue, which has existed in this village since long ago, is watching over everyone in it.

Mr. Movien: ここは ヒロインたちにとって なくてはならない場所なのデース！ For the heroine and the others, this is an absolutely indispendable place!

Nate: へぇ〜 なんかワクワクするね！ Wow, I'm kinda getting excited!

Note:

The word I translated as shrine here is 神社/Jinja which does translate to shrine, but usually refers to Shinto shrines specifically.

--

Showing Mr. Movien Harrisville Station:

Nate: 田舎と都会をつなぐ のどかな駅… っていったらケマモト駅だよね！ A peaceful train station that connects the countryside and the city... That's Harrisville station!

Mr. Movien: オッケーデース！ ここならロケ地に使えそうデース！ OK! We will be using this as a location!

Mr. Movien: 都会にあこがれ 胸を期待にふくらさせ 都会への一歩を踏み出すヒロイン… The heroine, longing for the city, her heart filled with excitement, takes her first step towards it...

Mr. Movien: チョー重要はシーンに ぴったりの駅デース！ This station is perfect for this super important scene!

Harry Barry: ケマモト駅が重要なシーンで使われれば すごくいいPRになるケマ！ It'll be great for PR if Harrisville Station is used for an important scene, kema!

--

After having decided on all the Locations:

Nate: これで 言われたロケ地は 全部見つかったね！ With that, we found all the locations!

Mr. Movien: これなら 大傑作が作れそうデース！ Now, I will surely be able to create a masterpiece!

Whisper: やりましたね！ ケータくん！ We did it, Nate!

Mr. Movien: しかし 映画は風景だけじゃ ヒットしませーん！！ However, a movie will not be a hit with just scenery alone!!

Mr. Movien: 今回のポイントは 若者にもウケる 「音楽」 デース！ The next point is "music" that will appeal to young people, too!

Mr. Movien: テーマソングをいくつも作って 妖怪紅白出場もねらいマース！ We will make several theme songs, and also aim to appear on Yōkai Kōhaku! (1)

Whisper: おおお！！ 妖怪紅白出場でうぃすか！ Ohhh!!! An appearance on Yōkai Kōhaku, whis?

Harry Barry: 大傑作の映画に合わせる音楽なら もっこすカッコいい音楽がいいケマ！ If the music is meant to fit this movie masterpiece, then, stubborn, cool music would be nice, kema! (2)

Mr. Movien: イエース！ ザッツラーイト！！！ Yes! That's right!!! (3)

Mr. Movien: テーマソングを歌うアーティスト候補を さがしてきてくだサーイ！ ... in the place that's at the forefront of the Yōkai World, New Yōma City! 

Nate: さがしてきてって… そう簡単に見つかるかな…？ Search for them... Can we even find them that easily...?

Mr. Movien: 心配にはおよびまセーン！ 目星はつけてありマース！ Do not worry! I have already set my eyes on a few people!

Mr. Movien: まずは まるでゴリラのようにアツく吠える ワイルドなシンガーが気になりマース！ First of all, I am interested in a wild singer with a fierce roar, just like a gorilla!

Mr. Movien: ひきこもりでありながら 妖怪紅白にも 出場している超VIPも見逃せまセーン！ We cannot forget a certain VIP that even appears on Yōkai Kōhaku despite being a shut-in, either! (4)

Mr. Movien: クラブ MONGEE で今一番ノッている 妖怪ラッパーにも興味がありマース！ I am also interested in the most rocking yōkai rapper of Club MONGEE! (5)

Mr. Movien: それから きたえられた体が特徴的な バスターズの隊長もいいデスね〜！ Moreover, the Busters Captain, characterized by his toned body, would be nice, too!

Mr. Movien: あと お堅く見えて音楽をたしなんでいる… とウワサの あの 「議長」 も呼びマース！ And one more thing, "While he looks strict, he enjoys music"... Because of those rumors, call that certain 'chairman' as well!

Mr. Movien: 彼ら５人に 声をかけてきてくだサーイ！ Please contact those 5 people!

Nate: うん わかった！ Alright, got it!

Whisper: それでは ニュー妖魔シティに 出発いたしましょう！ Now then, let's head to New Yōma City!

Notes:

Yōkai Kōhaku is a reference to Kōhaku Uta Gassen or simply “Kōhaku“, a Japanese annual music show that is very popular in Japan.

The word Harry Barry used here that I translated as stubborn is もっこす/mokkosu, which can be translated as stubborn, and I think this is probably a reference to 肥後もっこす/Higo Mokkosu which, from what I understand, is a term the people of Kumamoto (Higo being an old name for Kumamoto) use to refer to their stubborn, honest attitude that they are proud of.

This entire line is literally in English.

The word I translated as shut-in here is ひきこもり/Hikikomori in Japanese, which actually is commonly translated as shut-in, and that is rather close to its meaning, but it’s not exactly the same. Of course, this term is also where Hidabat’s Japanese name Hikikōmori is derived from.

もんげー/Mongee is of course the expression that the Koma Brothers frequently use. It is actually a pre-existing term in the Japanese language, and thus normally I'd just translate it literally, but at this point it feels like “mongee” specifically is so attached to the characters, so I decided to leave it as is. “Mongee” is a contraction of ものすごい/monosugoi, and could literally be translated as something like awesome or terrific and the like. From what I understand it’s part of the Oyakama Dialect, spoken in the Okayama Prefecture, though I have also read some people stating is isn’t as common there as some people think. Of course, the boom of the Yokai Watch franchise has caused more people to use it in general.

Talking to KJ:

KJ: ヘイ！ ケータ！ ノッてるかYO! Hey! Nate! Ready to rock, YO? (1)

Nate: KJ！ ちょっとオーディションに 出てみる気 ない？ KJ! Would you like to go to an audition for a bit?

KJ: いいね！ やっちゃおうYO！ Sounds good! Let's do it, YO!

KJ: でも何のオーディションなんだYO？ ラッパーのコンテストでもあるのかYO？ But , what kind of audition is this, YO? Is there a rap contest too, YO?

Nate: 今度 ムービーンがつくる映画の テーマソングを歌う妖怪をさがしてるんだ！ It's to find the yōkai that'll sing the theme song for the movie that Movien's making this time!

KJ: もんげ〜〜！？ Mr．ムービーンの！？ オラ…  じゃなくてオレでいいのかYO！ Mongee!? Mr. Movien!? Y’all... I mean, you guys really want me for it, YO!? (2)

KJ: モチ 参加するに決まってるYO！ 全力でがんばるぜ！ チェケラ！ 'Course I'm gonna join, YO! I'll give it my all! Check it out!

Notes:

Technically in the Japanese version here, all the “YO” parts are mostly just normal sentence endings, but they’re written out in roman letters to give emphasis to them, and you know, invoke the kind of “Yo!” that might be associated with rappers and the like.

Here KJ biefly slips back into his more “country” accent, saying “mongee”, and also using the first-person pronoun オラ/Ora, before correcting himself and switching back to オ��/Ore, with the former being a corruption of the latter, associated with “hickish” characters.

--

Talking to Hidabat:

Nate: ひきこもりなVIP… っていったら ヒキコウモリかな…？ A shut-in VIP... that should be Hidabat, right...?

Nate: ねえ ヒキコウモリって 妖怪紅白に出たことあったりする？ Say, Hidabat, have you ever been to the Yōkai Kōhaku?

Hidabat: ええ… 毎年 呼ばれていますよ。 それがどうかしましたか？ Yes... I get invited every year. What about it?

Whisper: おお！ ビンゴでうぃすね！ Ohh! Bingo, whis!

Nate: あのさ 今度ムービーンが 新しい映画をつくるんだけど… See, it's about the new movie that Movien is making this time...

Nate: その映画のテーマソングを歌う妖怪の オーディションをすることになったんだ！ There’s gonna be an audition for the yōkai that'll sing the theme song for that movie!

Nate: それで そのオーディションに ヒキコウモリもどうかな って…。 So, we we're wondering if you would like to audition too, Hidabat...

.

Hidabat: テレビ中継とかで オーディションを 受けられるならいいのですが… I would prefer an audition on live television or the like, however...  (1)

Hidabat: 彼が相手なら そうも言ってられませんね。 参加させていただきます。 But I cannot be saying that if he is the one involed. I will be participating. (2)

Nate: よかった！ ありがとう！ Alright! Thanks!

Notes:

I’m unsure if I got this line right.

“He” refers to Mr. Movien, in case you’re confused.

Talking to Sergeant Burly:

Talking to Nurarihyon:

Nate: とある議長って… もしかして ぬらりひょんのことなのかな…？ A certain chairman... Maybe he was talking about Nurarihyon?

Whisper: いやいやいや〜 ケータくん。 このお方が熱唱してるの 想像できます？ Oh come now, Nate. Could you imagine this gentleman singing passionately?

Whisper: むしろ 上手いとも下手ともいえない 超絶ビミョーな歌声ってオチが…… Rather, you can't say if he's good or bad, and with ‘an excellent, delicate singing voice’, the punchline is... (1)

Nurarihyon: ほほう… それは聞き捨てならないな。 Hoho... Now that is unacceptable.

Nurarihyon: 昔 妖怪評議会カラオケコンテストで 優勝した 私の歌を聴かせてやろう…。 Allow me to let you hear my song, the one with which I won the Yōkai Council Karaoke Contest, long ago...

Nate: えええっ！？ Whaaat!?

Nurarihyon: …冗談だ ここで歌ったりなどしない。 だが なぜ歌の話が出てきたのだ？ ...That was a joke, I will not be singing here. But why did you bring up this story about singing?

Nate: じ… 実は今度ムービーンが作る映画の テーマソングを歌う妖怪をさがしてて… You... You see, we're looking for a yōkai to sing the theme song for the next movie that Movien is making...

Nate: 歌が上手いなら ぬらりひょんも オーディションにどうかなって…。 If you're good at singing, maybe you could audtion too, Nurarihyon...

Nurarihyon: わかった 参加してやろう。 ほ… 本当は いそがしいのだがな。 Understood, I will participate. A... Altough I am truly busy.

Nate: …いそがしいならムリしなくても。 ...You don't have to force yourself if you're busy.

Nurarihyon: か… かまわんと言っているだろう？ 日程が決まったら すぐ連絡してくれ。 I... I said I do not mind, did I not? Please contact me as soon as the schedule has been decided.

Nate: …わ わかった。 ...S-sure.

Note:

I probably got this line wrong, it’s kinda cut-off, and I think couldn’t properly understand an expression used in it.

Nate: え… でもこの中で 「男子高校生役」が できるのなんて…。 Uh... but, do you really think any of these would work in a"High School Boy role"...?

Mr. Movien: だれが主人公にふさわしいか… これからチェックしマース！ Who would work as the protagonist... I will now check them!

Mr. Movien: 高校生のくせに ムキムキすぎデース！ You are too muscular to be a high school student!

Sergeant Burly: しまったぁ！ 鍛えすぎたか…！ Damn it! Did I train too much...?

Mr. Movien: アナタ 主人公のイメージとちがいマース！ You do not fit the image of a protagonist!

Hidabat: そんな…！！ No way...!!

Mr. Movien: オー… 野生のニオイが強すぎマース！ Oh... Your wild scent is too strong!

Sing Kong: ウホホォォー！！！ Uhohooo!!!

Mr. Movien: そんな銀髪イケメンの男子高生とか… 現実にいると思いマスか？ High school students that are this handsome, with such silver hair... Do you believe those exist in reality?

Nurarihyon: …たしかに。 ...You have a point.

Mr. Movien: オーゥ…！ その都会かぶれの少年っぽさ… パッチリデース！！！ Ohhh...! This urbanized boyishness... It is perfect!!!

KJ: もんげええ〜〜〜〜！？ Mongeeeeee!?

KJ: オ オラが… い… いやオレが 映画の主役かYO！？ Y-ya... n...no, I mean, you're making me the movie's protagonist, YO!? (3)

Nate: すごいよKJ！！ おめでとう！ Amazing, KJ!! Congratulations!

KJ: オレが選ばれるなんて ビックリだZE！ これもケータのおかげでYO！ I'm kinda suprised that I got picked! Nate, this is also thanks to you, YO!

Nate: どういたしまして！ You're welcome!

KJ: ついに ケータと ソウルフレンドになるときが来たYO！ Finally the time has come for me and you to become sould friends, YO! (4)

Nate: えっ…！ でも… コマじろうって とっくにオレとともだちに…。 Huh...? But... you already became friends with me ages ago, Komajiro...

KJ: オレの名前はあくまでKJ！ コマじろうとは別人の設定！ My name is and will always be KJ! I'm established as a different person than Komajiro! (5)

Whisper: 設定って あーた…。 Established, he says, oh boy...

KJ: ま！ コマかいことは 気にすんなYO！ チェケラ！ Well! Nevermind the details, YO! Check it out! (6)

Nate: …うん！ これからもよろしくねKJ！ ...Yeah! Let's be good friends from now on, KJ!

Mr. Movien: これでは ロケを始めマース！ 関係者はケマモト駅に集合してくだサーイ！ With that, we can start shooting on location! All concerned, please gather at Harrisville Station!

Notes:

Here, Sing Kong attaches the respectful suffix 様/-sama to his own name, showing a boastful ego.

“Best songs” as in, the songs they are the best at.

Here KJ slips up and uses Ora instead of Ore again.

The word I translated as soul friends is literally just that in Japanese, too. I am not exactly sure, but from what I can tell this soul friend is sometimes used to basically mean soulmate, both platonic and romantic? They probably had him use English words here to fit his “cool rapper” persona.

I’m unsure if I got this second line right, but from what I can tell, that’s basically it?

I think this might be a pun, since details here in Japanese is  read as コマ/Koma.

At the Station:

Mr. Movien: これで全員集合デース！ 今から撮影を初めマース！ With that, all members have gathered! We will now start shooting!

Komajiro: 準備できてるズラ！ I'm ready! (1)

Nate: あっ 撮影はコマじろうの格好なんだ？ Oh, you're going to do the shooting with the Komajiro look?

Komajiro: そうなんズラ〜！ オラ がんばるズラ！ That's right! I'm gonna do my best!

Whisper: おお！ ならば私もエキストラになれば 出演が可能に…！？ Ohh! So if I were to be an extra, could I be in the movie, too...!?

Mr. Movien: オー ノー！！！ 大切なことを 忘れてマシター！ OH NO!!! I have forgotten something important!

Mr. Movien: この映画 かんじんのヒロインが まだ決まってまセーン！！！ I have not chosen the heroine that is crucial to the movie yet!!!

Everyone: ！！！？ !!!?

Nate: えええ！？ ヒロインが決まってないって… それじゃ撮影できないじゃん！？ Whaaat!? But, if we don't have a heroine... doesn't that mean we can't start shooting!?

Komasan: もんげぇ〜！ コマじろうが出る 映画の撮影ってここズラ！？ Mongeee! So this is where that movie Komajiro's gonna be in is gettin’ filmed!?

Komajiro: に… にいちゃん！？ B... Big bro!? (2)

Komasan: コマじろう 立派になったズラね〜！ You've gotten really great, Komajiro!

Komasan: それにしても ここは空気がおいしいズラ！ オラたちの田舎を おもいだすズラね〜。 Also, the air here's so tasty! Reminds me of our countryside.

Mr. Movien: …！！！ ...!!!

Mr. Movien: こ… こ… これデース！！！ T... T... That is it...!!!

Mr. Movien: そのプリチーな見た目と 素朴な田舎っ子丸出しっぷり… That charming look and those simple country child mannerisms... (3)

Mr. Movien: そして 主役との相性もバッチリ… And the chemistry with the lead is on point, too...

Mr. Movien: アナタこそ ヒロイン役に ぴったりデース！！！ You are perfect for the role of the heroine!!!

Everyone: ！！！？ !!!?

Nate: ヒロインって… コマさんが！？ You want Komasan... as the heroine!?

Mr. Movien: イエース！ この子以外には あるえまセーン！！ YES! There is no one better than this one!!

Nate: で… でもコマさんってたしか… B... But I'm pretty sure Komasan is...

Komajiro: にいちゃんは 男の子ズラよ！？ ヒロインなんて大丈夫ズラ！？ But you're a boy, big bro!? Are you gonna be alright as the heroine!?

Komasan: まかせるズラ！ Leave it to me!

Whisper: アレはぜったい… ヒロインの意味を わかってないでうぃす…。 That’s... He definitely doesn't understand what a heroine is, whis...

Komasan: コマじろうと一緒に映画さ出れるなんて もんげ〜楽しみズラ〜！ I'm mongee lookin’ forward to bein' in a movie with Komajiro!

Mr. Movien: それでは… 改めて撮影を開始しマース！ ３…２…１… ス…タートッ！ With that... Let the shooting resume! 3... 2... 1... Start!

Text Box: そして映画撮影が始まった…。 And thus the shooting began...

Komasan: もんげ〜！ コマじろう ウェイター服 似合ってるズラ〜！ Mongee! This waiter outfit is lookin' good on you, Komajiro!

Komajiro: にいちゃん こっち来ちゃダメズラ！ カメラ回ってるズラ〜！！ You can’t come over here, big bro! The camera's on!!

Text Box: 時にアクシデントを起こしながら 撮影は進んでいったのであった…。 The shooting continued with the occasional accident happening...

Notes:

Here Komajiro switches back to his usual more “hickish” accent of course. Part of that is using ズラ/-zura in place of things like です/-desu and ます/-masu. This is a real thing in the Japanese language, which is why I don’t translate it literally. From what I have read, it’s used in the Nagano–Yamanashi–Shizuoka dialects.

Komajiro calls Komasan  にいちゃん/Nii-chan in Japanese, a way to adress your older brother that indicates much familiarity.

Here Mr. Movien says that Komasan looks プリチー/pretty, but this “pretty” is also the Japanese name of the Charming Tribe, and since Komasan is of that very tribe, it might be a reference to that? So I translated it as charming, just in case.

--

After the Movie is completed:

KJ: にいちゃんにいちゃん！ とんでもないコトになってるYO！ Big bro, big bro! It's unbelievable, YO!

KJ: オレたちの映画 超絶大ヒットだYO！ Our movie is a super big hit, YO!

Komasan: ズラ〜？ Yeah?

Nate: こないだ撮った映画… もうやってるんだ！？ The movie that you filmed just recently... It's already out!? 

KJ: この間 公開したばっかだYO！ It just got released the other day, YO!

Komasan: コマじろう がんばってたズラから よかったズラね〜。 You worked hard Komajiro, so I'm glad you're getting a lot of customers.

KJ: いっぱいなんてモンじゃないYO! It's more than just 'a lot', YO!

KJ: 全妖怪ワールドで公開して 歴代２位にまでなってるんだYO! It's become the second-highest grossing movie that was ever released in the entire Yōkai World, YO!

Komasan: もんげ〜〜〜！？！？ Mongeeee!?!?!?

Whisper: おお！ オシラセッターでも 大・大・大人気でうぃす！ Ohh! It's also very, very, very popular on Oshirasetter! (1)

Whisper: ほらほら〜 大ヒット記念のCMも バンバン流れてますよ！ Look, look, they're even running a commerical to commemorate the big hit!

Note:

Oshirasetter is an app that yōkai use in order to exchange information. It’s name is derived from お知らせ/oshirase, which means notification or news.

Text on screen: 出会うことのない二人の 出逢い The meeting of the two that could never meet.

Text on screen: コマの名は。 大ヒット 上映中！ Koma no Na wa. The big hit, now in theatres!

Note:

This entire trailer is of course a reference to the movie Kimi no Na wa./Your Name, more speficially, it seem to be pretty much taken completely from this particular trailer of it. “Koma no Na ha.” being the second-highest grossing moviethat was ever released in the entire Yōkai World is also a reference to  the success of “Kimi no Na wa.” in the real world.

The company logo at the start of this trailer is a reference to the Toho company, replacing the first Kanji of their name, “東/Tō“ with the “妖/ Yō“ from 妖怪/Yōkai.

[gamergirl201517]

Name: Rewrita/Riraito-san (リライトさん) Tribe: Shady (Legendary) Rank: S Attribute: Restoration Treat: Y-Cola Inspiritment in Battle: Rewritten Boost (gives allies a temporary boost in all stats) Soultimate Move: Healing Words (Heals all allies with 300 HP) Bio: Once a human girl that made alternate universe fanfiction, she spreads her joy of creating alternate universes, mostly inspiriting fanfiction writers. Evolutions: None Miscellaneous: - Design-wise, she originally had six arms, but because I found it too annoying to find room for six arms, I made her have four arms instead. - The arms hanging over her shoulders have one hand which is a piece of paper that always replenishes when she removes it (basically, neverending paper) and her other hand is just her fingers replaced with pencils. These are what she calls her 'writing' arms. - Her other arms are normal human arms that do the things that her 'writing' arms can't do; i.e: type, use a cell phone, eat, etc. - She worked for Mr. Movien once, but quit on her first day due to creative differences. - She travels to alternate demensions, which is how she gets her ideas, but her house is in the Yo-kai Realm. - She inspirits people by writing down an idea on a piece of paper and places the paper on their head. If they start to work on the idea, she considers it a sucessful inspirit. - She has helpers that help the people she's inspirited by developing ideas, headcanons, and the other stuff for an alternate universe. They look like storm clouds and they are Rewrita's version of Whisper. - She is a Whisper fangirl and not afraid to show it. - She often compares canon Nate to many other versions of him just to annoy him. - Her ghost tail is split to look like she has a pair of legs, although it is hard to tell when she's wearing long pants or a long skirt. - She doesn't wear shoes because she floats everywhere and sees no reason to walk unless she was disguising herself as a normal human. - Her Japanese name translates to Ms. Rewrite. - Rewrita runs a idea pitching studio, which annoys Mr. Movien because a lot of people have started going to her for movie idea evaluations instead of him. - Her closest friend is Willow the Mutonie, who also happens to work with her at the studio. - She has had alternate versions of characters hang around in her house due to her forgeting to close demesional portals once in a while.

Seventy-one former Public Officers were recognised and honoured at a ‘Retirees Dinner’ for their years of service to the Territory.

Deputy Governor, Mr. David. D. Archer Jr. congratulated the retirees and esteemed them as persons who have shown extreme dedication to the recovery efforts of the BVI, especially following the storms of 2017.

Mr. Archer Jr. expressed his gratitude and appreciation for their contributions to the Public Service, and encouraged retirees to be optimistic and to embrace future opportunities that may come their way.

Director of Human Resources Department, Mrs. Michelle Donovan Stevens told the retirees that they are a part of the Public Service bedrock and their contributions to new health facilities and services, the molding of academic minds, development of structure and the delivery of essential services will not be forgotten.

Mrs. Donovan Stevens said, “Your achievements and longevity reminds us that when purpose trumps the problem, greatness comes from great challenge. I hope that you have a strong sense of accomplishment and appreciation for your role in building this nation and enriching the lives of others.”

The retirees expressed their appreciation at being recognised and honoured for their contribution to the development of the Public Service.

“It was wonderful,” one person said, adding. “I enjoyed myself.” Another honoree said, “A Job well done by the Human Resources Team…congratulations and thank you. It was truly a blessed and exciting evening.”

The 2018 Retirees Dinner was held on October 16 at the Moorings Mainer Inn. The event’s programme also featured a video presentation by His Excellency the Governor, Augustus J. U. Jaspert, remarks by Acting Premier at the time Dr. the Honourable Kedrick D. Pickering, and a Keynote Address by Apostle Curnal Fahie.

Chairperson of the Recognition Committee, Mrs. Noreen Callwood-Lewis thanked the businesses that provided special gift certificates for the Retirees Trivia segment of the dinner.  These businesses includes:  Clarence Thomas Ltd, Bananakeet Café, Studio One, Native Son Inc. and Pancake Paradise.

Niche Yokai Watch blog; context below!

I know I mostly post Where's Waldo stuff, but I'm in a lot more Fandoms (Waldo just so happens to be my brainrot at the moment, ugh). I was planning to make an ask blog based on Yokai Watch, but.. um... like why I joined this Fandom, I have really, really, niche fav Yokai, both know for.. not very savory, clean as a whistle, crimes? Matter of, that is literally the only thing one of them is known for-

But, I have a few ideas for both their ask blogs

I have a few ideas for their ask blog

Atsushi Kamamoto (left)

* A potter turned idol scout turned Yokai who lost himself after he failed his idol group after losing to another idol group in popularity. After the events of Episode 15 (I'll try to keep this spoiler free until the blogs have been finalized, but basically his whole crime was turning turning girls into mindless dolls to make the perfect idol group, obviously failing thanks to the Yokai Detective Agency and his past idols coming back to confront him abt their missing daughters) and he takes an aspiring idol under his wing, he finds out that he's broke, he's been broke ever since he died and became a Yokai. He's been trying to apply to several different jobs, but he can't really hold one up because he looks like a corpse. At least, until a certain yokai offers him a job in hairdressing. Good thing Atsushi's good with his hands.

Directator (Right)

* Once a very influential and aspiring film director when he was alive, he managed to thrive off in his afterlife as a Yokai, making cheap blockbuster flicks based on popular media. Average blog, but with lore bits (ik, not the most interesting, but whatever attracts a crowd)

[activebodi-blog]

That’s Right, Daniel is the VILLAIN in the Karate Kid ;)

Ever heard of a little film called the Karate Kid? You know the movien where Daniel stands up to a bully and his gang by learning Karate from Mr Miyagi? That’s not the film other saw, Daniel was really the villain of the film!  Check out the video below and you’ll see what I mean […] from Martial Arts Action Movies! Reviews, DVD's, Blu-rays from Martial Arts Movies! http://ift.tt/2rS55lk

I found a site with yokai watch papercrafts!! these are pretty cute so I just had to print a couple and put them together.

Directator boss form...?

Seriously I am 100% certain this dude is just like a baby Hoaxy Coaxy. There's no way they arent related!!

[turquoisephoenix]

Some explanation to these doodles: I headcanon that Moso Monmon is Mr. Movien’s father and that his wife is the Mushroom Lady NPC in YKW3 that practices mushroom hypnotism. Because what a better way to explain why Mr. Movien is so strange and powerful than by saying he was created from a Twin Peaks reference and a reality warping dream creature. It’s a very strange yet lovable family where it’s hard to say which one of them is the weirdest. And every member of said family has a funny cloud-shaped afro.
