1-1 translation is effective 95% of the time.
2% of the time the characters a meme-spouting chud that needs to be localized to be understood
1% is names. Sometimes certain names are compete gobblygook to begin with so you have to make shit up
1% is cultural references & idioms
I'm in shock. Eikichi Iwai was an irreplaceable part of THE PRIMALS.
He came up in Kitakyushu (like GUNN) and played in Z-BACK before working as a session bassist/producer.
His credits include YUI, Ringo Shiina, and Todd Rundgren. Gamers may know him from Atelier Escha & Logy.
They should make a documentary called I Play Godzilla about all the guys who got to wear the suit and bring Godzilla to life. Have they already done this?
@ProfessorT_@AndyKavna See this only works if you're an idiot and are completely unfamiliar with the slang young people use and the slang this nebulous unnamed character that you refuse to name uses (because you're terrified that someone who knows Japanese youth slang will school you). You're not slick
I have inadvertently caused a misunderstanding among two individuals from other countries who are currently living in Japan. For this, I offer my sincere apologies.
To begin with, I would like to clarify that when Japanese people use the term "immigrant," it does not refer to all individuals from other countries.
When we use the word "immigrant," we are referring to those who fail to fulfill their tax obligations, disregard the law, ignore social norms, refuse to follow the rules of Japanese society, or take it upon themselves to occupy living spaces exclusively for their own use. It refers to people who do not love Japan, do not speak the Japanese language, and—as a result—cause harm to Japanese society, merely consuming Japan’s limited resources and tax revenue. That is what we, the Japanese, mean by "immigrants." I believe that such individuals—those who are detrimental to Japanese culture—should be promptly and forcibly deported to their home countries.
I would like this to be understood from the outset. Japanese people do not label those from other countries who love Japan and fulfill their responsibilities here as "immigrants." Please do not misunderstand this point. I wish to continue cooperating effectively with those from other countries who genuinely love Japan, just as I have done until now. I have no desire for conflict.
