Translation Help

[Takenaka Yuuta]

this could be used as a general thread in case someone needs help or something maybe...?


Well, I've found this article in which Seto (who else?) is talking about stuff he likes (I guess so at least) and there is this perfume shown - but it's for women... So I got really curious about this certain part...

I was trying my very best translating it but my only help had been wikipedia (lol) and I fear it's bad. Plus some are kanji and I didn't know how to find those.

Article:



my trial:

[?] [?] [?] [?] karaa* nasu ye(?) no [Zuye dori [?] musu] hito [?] o [?] no to koro [?] suru [?] hanashi. [?] [?] ha [?] [?] ga tata(?) shi(?) karra tsukeru [?] [?] ga [?] tsutana~


* no idea of the second a is correct.


Don't laugh at me please

I'm not great at translating (hence why I'm always bothering people about translating things for me), but I'd like to take a look at this and see if I can help! Lee is basically a pro at Japanese XD, but we just made her examine a massive-sized piece-of-crap letter that we wrote, so I don't want to trouble her again! But this is really short, so once I have these letters sorted out, maybe I can help!

And don't feel bad about your Japanese...I think it's pretty cool you were able to translate some of it!

Here's a very bad attempt... @_@

Romanization:

koukou jidai kara anasui** no "suidoriimusu" hito bako. ima no tokoro kaeru ki wa nashi. saikin wa ibukuro** ga ooi kara, tsukeru kaisuu ga hetta na~

**I think a cosmetics company called "Anna Sui"
**This is a name... but I don't know if the reading is right or it refers to a person or place... I'm guessing it's refering to meeting or seeing a person? Not quite sure.

Sorry, it's weird without knowing the exact context, but here's my guess:

A box of Anna Sui's "Sweet Dreams" from my high school days. I don't feel like changing where it is now, but lately there's been a lot of Ibukuro, and the times (she's?) been using it have gotten less and less~

[Mizusawa Taku]

I fail. ><;; I'm so sorry, Suzume and Kinolee! But thanks, Kinolee for getting to that first! I didn't want to make you do another translation when you just did mine.

But well, since this thread is all set up, I figured I'd write anyway. Apparently Tomo is doing another event, but it's so soon and I don't know much about it. It's called Fuyu Doko (冬どこ), and the information is here:
d-boys.ponycanyon.co.jp/

You have to scroll down a bit, but it says under "「冬どこ2010握手会イベント」" what the event is about and how to get tickets. Mostly I am concerned about how to get tickets. Can anyone help? ><;;

[Kiyama Ryuichiro]

Okay, I tried my shot at this... but between it being so long (I'm lazy) and the formal-ish language being used there are probably some mistakes and I suck also I didn't exactly proofread this; let me know if something's unclear!

OK, I'm so sorry to trouble you guys with this, but there's something on this site that I was really hoping I could see translated by tomorrow for me (since apparently the deadline is tomorrow).

natsudoko2010.com/

Does anyone know what the numbers 2 and 3 sections say? I think I already did step one, but now I don't know if it's just a matter of waiting or not! Tasukete kudasai!! m(_ _)m

[Kiyama Ryuichiro]

I think at the bottom of that page is a link to the form you should've already sent; after that you have to wait to get the conformation e-mail, I think. Here's a quick translation (sorry I got lazy at the last part >_>)

2) A follow-up confirmation mail will be sent to the registered e-mail address. Please confirm that this mail reaches you. (If it doesn't please call the number at the bottom of this page.)

3) After the deadline, an invitation mail to each session will be sent. Whether you used a mobile phone address or a PC address, please print it out and with the flyer (found in the DVD), gather at the meeting spot at the specified time. (Again, if you haven't received a confirmation mail by 10AM on the 18th, please contact the number below BEFORE 4PM on the 18th... you have to do this or you're screwed blah blah blah...)

[Takenaka Yuuta]

I know it's quite stupid of me to be away for so long and when I come back the first thing I post is a translation request -.-"

I just signed into my FB account of Yuuta today and... noticed that he received a private message... in Japanese... >____>"

What does this mean? D:


あなた　は　すごい　人）瀬戸　さん　好きですか？）すごい）あなたと　友達になりたい）よろしく）

[Mizusawa Taku]

I can do a quick translation:

"You are a cool person! Do you like Seto Koji? Cool! I want to become friends with you! Nice to meet you!"

Pretty cool she thinks that!

[Takenaka Yuuta]

Oh that's indeed cool! Thanks so much for translating

new stuff, I don't need anything accurate, just something rough. Is he saying anything about his family?




It's a blog entry from Suzuki Hiroki

EDIT: Fixed

[Kiyama Ryuichiro]

Here's a rough translation:

My Apologies for the Worry
-- Hiroki Suzuki

I've recieved many, many messages via Twitter, my (site) guestbook and the like...

I'm very sorry to have worried you all.

Yesterday, after the Touhoku-Pacific earthquake, I received written confirmation from my family of their safety.

However, because the aftershocks are still continuing, we still must remain on alert.

Through TV broadcasts and the like, we're still getting news about tremor after tremor.

I think that the people of the Touhoku area are still fighting a long battle... and everyone else, please take care of yourselves!
