Revision as of 16:40, 9 May 2011

About me: I learned Japanese in 6 years of elementary school in Japan. After discovering D-addicts in 2004, I started watching a lot of Japanese TV shows again and started fansubbing in 2005. It's still a serious hobby of mine.
As I said before on many occasions, I fansub for myself. It's the best way to maintain and improve my proficiency in Japanese. I also want to share works I really enjoyed. Many Japanese movies and doramas come without English subtitles, so I hope my fansubbing efforts will open the door for others to enjoy the fine contents that I was able to discover.

My translation style: Although I try to make all dialogue flow as smoothly as possible in English, accuracy precedes over all else for me. For my solo releases, well-established Romanizations such as "Tokyo" will be kept, but I tend to use Wāpuro Romanization and leave out long vowels for lesser known Romanization of names such as "Satou" rather than "Sato" or "Satoh" as it's commonly Romanized in the West, for maximum accuracy.
Names are always kept in (Family Name)_(Given Name) format in accordance with Asian formats.
