Since I've practically fallen off the translation radar, I'd like to direct everyone who doesn't want to read my wasteful banter to the handy tags section on the right sidebar, underneath the ads. The translations tag will give you everything of Shige's that I have worked on. They are also split into more specific articles, such as "photoshigenic" and "butai" for the pamphlet of Shige's one-man show.
Or if you're lazy like me, you can just click
here!
I'm bringing this to everyone's attention just in case they don't see the tags section, since the ads bump them further down the page. I really hope nobody translates something that's already been posted here! Especially the pamphlet! My god, I wouldn't want anyone to start that project only to find out it's already been done. D:
But wait, why haven't you been translating?? A number of reasons.
This little cooking hobby has a little something to do with it. But mainly... I just don't have the time. Or the exposure to Japan that I used to have. To be honest my Japanese ability, specifically my reading and writing, has dwindled the past year, and yes it is deeply depressing me! A full-time job + living at home with your parents + not seeing as many friends as I'd like + wanting to MOVE OUT has unfortunately put Shige on the backburner... gasp! Maybe I shouldn't have said that.
Perhaps one day I'll be back in the game but I'm officially on hiatus until then, but luckily there are great translators out there, unlike back when I started there were very few willing people to figure out what the heck Shige was trying to say. To the courageous few: THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK!
