Twitter in Translation: Arson Edition

[phonon_belt]

Mr. Hirasawa will on occasion use Twitter to recommend a friend's album or business or whatever. And sometimes he will talk about other members of P-Model.

And sometimes this is the result:

Oh man, I need to get on twitter. This is absolutely priceless. Thank you for the translations.

Some of this stuff is absolutely gold!

They made a book that was a twitter compilation of things somebody's dad said.

What about a book titled "Sh*t Hirasawa Said"?

That's a MUCH more entertaining!

Ugh, don't forget Shit My Dad Says somehow managed to get a sitcom as well. Never watched it myself but from what I've heard it was... well, shit.

Rather than a straight up compilation of Hirasawa tweets I'd like to see artistic representations of some of his tweets. Kind of like The Ricky Gervais Show, but with less stupid and more "Oh that Hirasawa."

[g00st543]

I just really wanted to avoid bringing that up, but yes, I haven't forgotten.

I'm kind of curious as to whether or not ASHU-ON TV satisfies your artistic representation idea in any way, shape, or form? Not of his tweets, of course (that project started long before twitter was big, I believe), but just representing his thoughts, even the more humorous/fun/entertaining ones?

I wouldn't mind a visualized version of the "the industry is dregs" rant and "I'm not Hirasawa Yui!" rant.

Hmm, hadn't really thought of ASHU-ON TV. Admittedly, I've only seen like 2 of them I think? One with him playing Eurasia 21°C and one about him vacationing in Thailand. Now that I think about it, yeah, the vacation one is definitely the type of thing I'm talking about. Think you could point me to some other ASHU-ON TV vids? :D

I've seen some "I'm not Hirasawa Yui!" comics on Pixiv (there's even a tag dedicated to it) but oh man, I'd kill to see "the industry is dregs" in comic form.

Ha, I never get tired of this man's tweets. That first set of tweets is prime fodder for some silly fan art, haha.

No wait, Pyrosawa definitely needs to be drawn.

[aural_elixir]

Oh you should! These tweets are just crying out for fan art. XD *Still getting over my mental image of Hirasawa on the rampage to Black Sabbath*…

That Art Mania reference just made my day.

Back in the day I used to set fire to art museums!
