can anyone else here speak japanese...
« on: December 20, 2007, 01:52:53 AM »
...because i think the hitoshi sakimoto video from egm:

http://gamevideos.com/video/channel/egm

was translated almost 100% incorrectly.  a lot of times the interviewers - who are completely unequipped verbally to ask even the simplest of questions and are embarrassingly awkward to a point that it interfers with the whole process - ask a question and hitoshi answers differently than in the subtitles.  perhaps there was more to his answer not recorded on tape, and they took liberties to add that in without playing the japanese audio to accompany it, but when he is talking about how he comes up with the music for games and the subtitles start talking about an instrument from bali that i didn't hear him mention, i grow suspicious.

i don't want to go back over it and catch ALL the mistakes, (not yet) because there are lots, but i wanted to see if anyone knew a native japanese speaker that could listen to it, and would therefore be able to pick out words that i missed, and tell me (us) if it's correct or a lot of bullshit like i think it is.

I wish  :lol I know enough to survive. And of course ask schoolgirls if I can have their panties.

This wouldn't be the first time 1up has been accused of shitty translation though.

I tried to care - even got so far as watching a minute of the video - but then my wife dumping a screaming baby on my lap so no go. I find the subtitles on the 1Up Show to be reasonably well done actually. Especially the ones from the Japan branch (i.e. john tv's/Gameboy Jason's bits). What's the problem anyway, if you can understand what he's saying? There's always some japafag cockwaver out there who will attempt to rubbish YOUR Japanese if you try to post anything critical of someone else's ability...

Did this ever work!?  I must know, as my indirect way never achieved its goal.
