IDOLiSH7 Twelve Fantasia: Kyoto: Tea Ceremony Experience

so anyway, I don't know anything about the tea ceremony, except that if tea is bitter, you're probably Doing It Wrong. if you're interested, here's the Wiki article and a site that is better qualified to educate you than I am.

IDOLiSH7: Labyrinth (Haruka Isumi)

happy birthday to precious baby haru!!! this song breaks my heart.

good thing about official release (and being stuck working all day) is that other people transcribe lyrics by ear. the most complete/accurate version I found, and that this is based on, was done by Usato_846 over on Twitter! there is one word that I changed to be more in line with what I/others were hearing, though. now updated (as of Jan. 2021) using official lyrics from the CD release.

anyway uh reminder that I tend more towards liberal than literal with translations (POETICISM IS SO HARD…), tho comments/corrections are always appreciated. o/

November is over and I live again. o/ tentative update schedule says I'll finish one chapter of Link a month, to be done in approximately six months. time around that and on weekends will be spent on Hariyama-san, which may get an update… January maybe? we'll see. oh yeah, and the TeniPuri Rising Beat Rikkai birthday messages are up-to-date too.

Tales of Link Prologue Comic

...well, that didn't take as long to finish as I was expecting. I only discovered this recently, but it's the prologue story that was published before the game and covers how Sara and Lippy met! what a time to discover it...

also a note that in this comic I kind of gave up on figuring out the terms used in the localized TOLink for some things. it's too hard to dig through scripts when I don't know what I'm looking for. /shrug if anyone knows what they were translated as in game, please let me know.

one annoying note that doesn't carry over well in translation. the word used to refer to unrelated old men, "oji-san," is also what you might call an uncle, thus tenebrae's comment later on.

Tales of Link comic: Fullmetal Christmas 2

uh. hi, I'm not dead??? I'm trying to get back into the swing of things, so I'll be... attempting to... post a bit more regularly. it's likely to be mostly Link stuff, since that's easier and faster, but I'll try to work through Hariyama-san slowly too.

first up is another one of the Link comics, and I have another segment of main story lined up as well. I'll try to see what of the comics still needs to be done, too. /o/

uhh. only note for this is that Cress's puns are awful to translate and I hope my attempt in English can be deciphered, lol.
