チョコレートの金 (Chocolate Money)

The post was too long all together, so I had to break it up into two parts. Sorry about that. Either way…

 

( Part Two of Chocolate Chapter Four Translation )

The long awaited chapter 4 is finally up! You can find the translation, translator notes, my thoughts, and copyright information right underneath the LJ cut!

 

( Part One of Chocolate Chapter Four Translation )

That’s right! Along with Million Girl I’m going to be doing translations of Chocolate as well. So, here’s chapter 3 of the series. All thanks for the scans goes to Xiao Jie. Because of her I was able to get raws for this series, so I couldn’t have done the translation without her help! ^^ You can find (and download) the raws at her blog, here: http://eksentrick.wordpress.com/

There’s just two things I want to point out. If you want to use my translation, just let me know and make sure to credit me.

Second, this post (like the one for Million Girl) is extremely long. It also has curse words in it and some inappropriate comments (most are found within the actual chapter translation, though I do slip in a few curse words in the My Thoughts section.)

Other than that, please enjoy! You can find the translation, copyright information, translation notes, and my thoughts on the chapter and series by clicking the LJ cut below! ^-^

( To English Translation of Chocolate Chapter 3 )

Hello everyone! (^^)o

I’ve decided to use this blog to post my translations of Million Girl and Chocolate, both series scans are provided by Xiao Jie. The download for these scans can be found at this link: http://eksentrick.wordpress.com/ So first, I’d like to thank her greatly for providing me with the raw scans. Without her hard work of scanning the raw chapters, I wouldn’t be able to translate anything. Thank you, Xiao Jie! m(_ _)m

Second, if you use my translation of the chapter, please credit me for it. This translation took hours (more hours than I would like to admit) and I would highly appreciate the credit where it is properly due.

Lastly, this post is extremely long (though most of it is the actual translation.) Nevertheless, I’m just giving you guys a heads up. There are also a few curse words here and there (as well as some, very small, brief, and rather discreet, discussion on adult-like topics.) But, overall, this is a very, very clean post.

The translation, translation notes, and my thoughts on the first chapter of the series (and thus the series overall) can be found by clicking the LJ cut below.

Enjoy! ^_^


( Million Girl English Translation )

Well, it's been confirmed...Gackt is going to be in Bunraku with Josh Hartnett, he is going to play his partner, Yoshi! W00t! (^O^)o That means seeing Gackt in American theaters. Gosh, I'm still in shock! O.O Anyway, it's nearly 12 midnight and I have school tomorrow, so I'm heading off to bed. I'll talk about this more later when I've gotten some sleep! =P

Since I'm on vacation...I don't feel like doing anything! >.O Even though there are plenty of things that I have to do...such as my Japanese work (though I must say that I'm proud with how much I'm picking up of the Japanese language, I got an 87 on my Japanese Placement Test for Seton Hall so I can start in Intermediate Japanese (w00t! ^0^)), finish filling out my Housing application (though for this one I need the parental units, because we need to figure out which meal plan I want to go with), look over an essay that's due sometime next week for English class, and update my fanfic....But I don't feel like doing any of that! =P I'd much rather play Crisis Core (since I'm almost done with it, only one more baddie to beat and I'll be at the end guy), watch Darker Than Black, which is turning out to be a pretty interesting anime even though I'm only at episode 4, or watch Are You Afraid of the Dark, which is still just as awesome as I remember it being when I was six or so years old. Now I only wish that I could watch that and all the old Nick shows on the TV rather than on YouTube or hunting them down on the web. -0-

Anyway, off to do some Japanese! *(^^)* Then go to work! o(>A<)o

I got friended by Gackt! xD It makes me feel special, even though it really isn't...because 1, 858 other people got friended by him as well! =P But, whatever, I think this is a big step for him. I mean, he went from 83 friends last night to 1, 859 this morning! @.@ His international fan base is growing bigger and bigger with each passing day, and it excites me to think of his future and what it may in-store. It excites me think about my future as well, and the thought that I may be able to see him live in concert one day. ^^

 It's finally happened, I got a MySpace account. Though, this is solely due to the fact that Gackt-san has one now too! xD So, I'm probably just going to use my account so I can show my support of Gackt, other than that I have no interest or desire to be apart of MySpace. >.> http://www.myspace.com/gackt

So, I've just come back from Seton Hall. The campus was beautiful, the people in New Jersey were very kind and helpful (and I could see myself in South Orange), and I got to talk one on one with the head of my major, Asian Studies! ^-^ Overall, I'm totally psyched about going to this college!

Because of this I missed my school's musical, I really wanted to go to that, but I was way too tired to go...=.= I might have gone if I didn't have work at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow (and then do an essay for my AP English class...>.<) But, since I do, I decided to stay home. My friends understand though, I love them all, they are so great in that way~! &hearts;

Oh, crap, I totally forgot...but I've got to update my fanfic soon! O.O I've just been so busy...^^; My goal, no later than next Sunday...

Unreachable

A lost soul- 
 Trailing behind a devil. 

Each step- 
 Within my grasp.

Amongst the forest, 
   Beyond the tower, 
      Cased in ice- 
    So close.
 
A fantasy- 
 Features contorted in pain. 

A dream-
 Limbs twisted into a branch.

A wish-
 Body enclosed by frozen tears. 

But-
 SHATTER! 

Grace reaches-
 Latching on,
         he holds. 

My hand is too cold-
               Unable to touch,
             Beatrice.
