Are you Japanese? Btw thank you for translating the NaruHina doujin!!! I’ve always wanted to completely understand what our fellow Japanese NaruHina fans were conveying in their comic

To answer the first question.. I am sincerely sorry to say that I'm in no way shape or form a Japanese even just by blood. I'm purely not. But I'm an Asian person so I guess that suffice eh? (It's not).

As I always mentioned on my Naruhina Doujin posts, I'm crappy at translating since I only used either Papago, or Google Translate to help me quite understand the doujin and then in my own way tried to revise the translation by writing it on my own (which you shouldn't do and all since you must know the language fully). I only do this for fun and to nurture my skill cleaning and typesetting, so if you think me posting it is wrong— I do understand that too, and if it makes everyone uncomfortable I can take down the posts of my translated nh doujin. I am truly sorry.

To be honest, I didn't really expected that my very first translated nh doujin would get a lot of attention.. cause I really just want to do it as like a hobby.. for fun..

I just want to post it and let it out rather than let it be stuck on my gallery unattended.. anyways

I'm grateful that y'all still enjoy the Naruhina doujins, that's also the very first reason why I started translating them even without a knowledge in Japanese language, solely because I too, was a Naruhina fan and want to read these japanese fan comics in english to truly consume and enjoy them.

I badly want to translate a lot of NH doujin since it's already vacation but I just seriously can't for now because I'm quite busy this week and I just want to go to bed and binge a lot of fluffy Naruhina fics, but rest assured I might post someday (hopefully).

so, so I've been trying to gather the courage to tell you the truth 😶 I hardly know anything about Twice and Red Velvet. I do recognize the members' names only because of Tumblr...I'm pretty sure I can name all the members of Red Velvet. I kinda only follow certain kpop blogs for the photography, and Red Velvet's aesthetic is always on point. I think I've listened to at least 1 song by both groups. By appearance alone, my favorite is Seulgi (something about the way she looks at the camera), but I also think Yeri is really pretty. I cannot name a single song by either group. I sometimes listen to Blackpink (I'm a casual Rose and Jisoo fan).

Anyway, that's what I wanted to confess to you 😳 Feel free to recommend a Twice and/or Red Velvet song that you think I must listen to.

I can't.

OMG!

This feels like your idol replied to your post sorta thing 😭😭, uhm.. excuse my inner panic for DAYS8 asking me.. anyways..

Well, I'm not also deep into Red Velvet's nor Twice's discography but I knew almost all of their Popular Songs (which is redundant but hey, they're still fun to sing and dance to).

Now that you mentioned Seulgi's Appearance, I recommend you to listen to her solo album (although I haven't yet, I'm pretty sure it's good!) but first, check out the lead or title track of that album, "28 reasons" , check its mv, I think somehow, you'll love it (even the teaser..)

But if you really want to hear first the whole group's discography, check out Red Velvet's Russian Roulette (the mv too), Psycho (with it's pretty and aesthetic music video elements that I think will suit you taste, perhaps), or Bad Boy (I think it's also beautiful in its own way). Or if you want you can also watch Red Velvet's Peek-a-boo with it's kind of dark concept in its music video.

Oh my, Can't believe I also forgot, Feel My Rhythm (with it's aesthetically pleasing vocals and music video!!)

I'm not sure if I can help you a lot in introducing you to Red Velvet , but I do hope you can check some of their songs out and discover some that you'll love!

As much as I know, Red Velvet always incorporates the Red (psycho and dark elements) and Velvet (cutesy, beautiful, aesthetic thingy) their concept over all.

Now for TWICE, the thing is, their songs are so addicting that they're even prohibited to be played in schools in South Korea (I know, crazy right?)

So let's start with some familiar songs first, try checking out TWICE's What is Love?, TT, Fancy (I'm addicted to this song), Feel Special, More & More, Dance The Night Away, Knock Knock, Yes or Yes and more!

They have a more cutesy concept back in their debut days, but they also do some dark concepts into their songs. They are quite versatile too, just check out the audio of Cry For Me by Twice, but you don't have to force yourself, step by step, you can try watching little by little of their songs, to find what's to your liking..

Even now, they're still soaring high as one of the 3rd Generation Girl Kpop Idol (mind you, we're already in the start of 5th gen kpop, I feel old), their new title tracks songs would be "Talk & Talk", "Moonlight Sunrise".. that's all I know, sorry 😢✨

I hope ONCES (Twice Fandom Name) don't come at me.. I can't say a lot of things, (my ONCE friend would kill me fr lol)

I hope I answered your question! :'))

Thank you for asking, DAYS8 :33!!

You're Naruhina_trash27 on AO3!!!! ❤️❤️

Yeah... 😅😅

Actually I had that account way before I made this Tumblr account, because I never thought that I would start having my own Tumblr. I just opened one to support NH authors, at first. (I Initially just want to read some nh fics that are only available here in Tumblr, that's also one of the reasons..)

I know it's a shock to many but... I've been Naruhina_trash27 long before I became opttagoyeo, (formerly known as Yeungdun, but past is past.)

You know what, it's also exciting to interact with authors in ao3 without them knowing my real identity outside ao3 (it's so fun! to interact with them really!)

I love Ao3 so much because in that site, we are not pressured to do things or anything (maybe just me from posting my own ao3 account but whatevs).

I feel like Anon has interacted with me in Ao3!! Nice to see you here!! I'm so glad to finally reveal my Ao3 account although it's not a mystery anymore which is fun to play with (I like hiding 😆). But the desire to share my drabble compilations overpowered that thought.

Yet somehow I'm getting all shy since I should have posted it on Fanfiction.Net. However, it just felt right to post it on ao3. I was actually fascinated by how you can post a fic in ao3. This experience opened my eyes to new things so I'm still grateful!

I should've changed my username to opttagoyeo but for me the username is just too ✨ICONIC✨ to be changed. It's such a waste to change it cuz it's just the truth, I'm a nh trash (not literally but at least close)! 🤩🤩✋

Note: This was an edited one sorry Anon! My fingers accidentally slipped and immediately posted this even before I could finish answering you. I deeply apologize!! 🥲🥲🙏

Hello I saw your translations for Izumi's NH angst doujin, are you doing a part 4 for this?

https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/91871206

Thanks

Oh wow I would never thought I will have to answer an ask here in Tumblr but here we are...

I just checked out the link you have send and YEP DEFINITELY! I would try to translate and post it here T--T and yes that should be counted as part 4 since Naruto already have his bandaged hands and Hinata's hair is consistent after she cut it short from the part 1.

After seeing Izumi's pixiv again I'm always amazed by their work! T--T

I hoped I answered your question, correctly (?)

I do hope so...

I can't wait to translate it and read it first hand (the perks of translating it even if it's poorly..lol!)
