A big shout-out to Megchan! Her old Digimon site is where I took my first steps in learning Japanese and interpreting song lyrics. This is why translating lyrics is my forte, as opposed to fansubs that most other translators are good at.

She can’t be a Japanese when she said she picked up skills after digimon and pokemon. I guess she’s Singaporean?
Comment by KamInagI~ — December 1, 2006 #
I see that you said you acquired your Japanese skills out of liking Pokemon and Digimon. (Woot) What was it that you actually did to learn Japanese?
Thanks for the wonderfully translated lyrics by the way ^^
Comment by Linkhiei — January 8, 2007 #
@ Linkhei:
Trial and error. Tons of practice. I looked at Japanese lyrics and compared them side-by-side with professional translations and tried to figure out what part referred to what.

Yes, I made that Haruhi costume mostly on my own, with the help of several friends whenever my sewing skills failed.

I don’t really like her or the anime.
Comment by Atashi — March 15, 2007 #
I see you’ve already got lots of praises. Haha. But I’m still confused about where you’re really from @_@. You’re an american right?
Comment by jas — March 26, 2007 #
I am legally American, yes.
Comment by Atashi — March 26, 2007 #
This is a very nice website, good work.
By the way, how old are you?

Old enough to be in college. ^_^

Atashiは日本が大好きのようです。行ったことある？ていうか、住んだことある？僕は現在東京に住んでるね。外人は十分面白い生活が出来ると思うけどAtashiみたいな日本で暮らしてる外人がほとんどいない。
Comment by southofreality — April 5, 2007 #
いいえ、アタシは日本に行ったことが一度もありません。今は米国に住んでいますわ。
Comment by Atashi — April 5, 2007 #
行くことに興味がありますか？もし、アタシが来るならびっくりすると思いますよ。日本人のオタクという人達が知っていますか？そいう人はアタシのお好みですか？
Comment by southofreality — April 5, 2007 #
興味がありますけど学生としてお金もなくてそんなことなんて出来ません。アタシはもとに小さな街に住んでいたから日本人のお友達がただ一人います。でも彼はとても素晴らしい人と思います。
Comment by Atashi — April 5, 2007 #
では、本当に行きたいならお金を貯めよって決めてなんとか出来ると思いますよ。ハハ。頑張ってね。

Konnichiwa! I need to ask a question. How do you deal with annoying siblings? Do you have any siblings? Just wanted to know. Sayonara!(^-^)
Comment by Jahiah-chan — May 16, 2007 #
@ Jahiah-chan:
Hmm, I do have one sibling, but I don’t deal with him often since I’m in college. I just tease him shamelessly to make up for his being annoying. Otherwise, I adore him very much since he’s gotten a lot smarter after sixth grade.
Comment by Atashi — May 16, 2007 #
I’m in sixth grade! And I’m very smart! The reason I asked is because my cousin and his family are living with us temporarily, and he’s only three but he gets on my last nerve! Yesterday he tore one of my favorite Fruits Basket pictures that I drew!(I had drawn it two days ago) I am a very skillful artist(drawer isn’t really a word) and I keep all of my drawings in this huge red notebook, which is decorated with Fruits Basket pictures. I only use it for drawing. And he just decided to take off with it, and in his hasty getaway, he ripped the page in half.
What would you do in this situation? Do you draw? If so, what do you draw? (Am I being annoying, because I know I get like that sometimes)
Comment by Jahiah-chan — May 17, 2007 #
@ Jahiah-chan:
What is lost is lost and I wouldn’t be able to get a replacement. I just learn to put my valued stuff away at a better place (i.e. higher shelf).
Yes, I do draw and you can check out some of my art on my deviantART page. I usually just doodle sketches of whatever character is on my mind in my sketchpad.
Comment by Atashi — May 17, 2007 #
Atashi, do you enjoy the Arliss show on the HBO?
Comment by Erik — June 1, 2007 #
@ Erik:
No, I only watch the TV for evening news.
Comment by Atashi — June 1, 2007 #
Well, I never expect that someone will learn Japanese because of pokemon n digimon. My brother’s friend is almost the same as you — he learn Japanese because of Japanese anime. I don’t think that he ever take any course on learning Japanese , but he can translate Japanese correctly (time is required).
*Anyway, I hope that I don’t have many grammar mistake. *
Comment by Sora — July 17, 2007 #
hey there Atashi-san, I bought one of your drawings at Anime Boston. The Setsuna from Kyoshiro Towa no Sora one. Great job on it. And.. i was Kakashi.. yes a poorly Kakashi one -_-;.

atashi, where are u?

The US.
Comment by Atashi — September 14, 2007 #
Hello! I was wondering if I could use your lyrics for some of my Digimon sites? (I recently renewed my interest and am building character sites like whoa.) I’m not going to take all of them, just the ones that involve Sora, Miyako, Iori, and Kouji. (Junpei, Tomoki, and Takeru are still… pending in idea. XD) I’m sorry if I’m asking too much, and I will definitely credit you. Thanks in advance!
Comment by Josephine — October 10, 2007 #
Sure.
Comment by Atashi — October 10, 2007 #
Wait….you’re telling me you learned to write in Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana because of comparing lyrics???…..?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!
Comment by Spike Spiegel — October 17, 2007 #
@ Spike Spiegel:
Long answer short: yes. That and anime episode synopses.
Comment by Atashi — October 17, 2007 #
Then how high must your IQ be?!?!
Or wait….it’s because you have chinese ancestry and your parents made you learn Kanji characters……>_>
Comment by Spike Spiegel — October 17, 2007 #

Oh so Chiisai is like another author here. That’s nice ^ ^
Comment by Camille — June 5, 2008 #
Ooh! Dark Chocolate eh? I like your style!
nice place here I still find it amazing that you learned Japanese through Anime! hehe..Go Pokemon/Digimon! (Although I’ve been learning a fair amount through listening to Anime Music)
Anyway would there be anyway I ask for A lyrics translation to a song I’ve looked through all the results on Google (There weren’t that many) and absolutely CAN NOT find the Eng. translation anywhere
(though I know the Jap. lyrics if that helps) also it’s not from any of the listed Anime It’s from a
show called “Rurouni Kenshin” and the song is called “Suki toka ja Nakute…” (Its not like I’m in love…)
there is also 1 other song in that same situation I’d like trans’d (”Nana Iro no Kaze” Seven-Colored/Rainbow Wind) although not quite as much as I’d like the 1st to be Translated
so..yeah please respond soon

…And why the heck did a wink smilie appear after my song title of Suki toka ja Nakute?
Comment by Lindsey A.K.A Sakura-Fox5_12 — June 13, 2008 #
I’ve sent you an E-mail with the lyrics (sorry I didn’t wait for your response it’s still your choice though)
Comment by Lindsey A.K.A Sakura-Fox5_12 — June 17, 2008 #
Atashi, would you post the lyrics to “Life is like a melody” -Lia-Tomoyo After if I send you pictures of my slender, glass-wearing self? I could resort to more desperate measures if you don’t.
Comment by Danny-Ren — July 15, 2008 #
@ Danny-Ren:
After seeing countless photos on /cgl/…
DO NOT WANT DDD=
Anyhow, after that threat, I will go take a look at the song. I’m quite busy this summer with two part-time jobs, so I haven’t done much lyrics in the past few months.

iam having trouble with yahoo auctions jp where is the shipping price and how much is a dollar to yen
Comment by alec1000 — September 16, 2008 #
@ alec1000:
Go use the Google currency converter. Also, I’d advise you to not buy stuff off of Y! Auction because you’d need a Japanese address and bank account.
