Let’s begin “LIVE”…

何も見えなくなったら
周り失くして孤独の街へ進む
抑えがきかないと

たとえば大きな情熱邪魔して
あざとく幻想の波に酔わされる

美しくても　惑わされても
自信はすり抜けるモノ
笑える程小さなプライドなんて投げ捨て
怖くても　振り返ってみる
見つめ直す余裕で
しっかり今を受け止めたら
助けられた日思い出せる

愛情！救いのてだても
独りよがりで生きてちゃなすすべも無い
飾り過ぎなbed emotion

誰も信じられなくて
ビルの向こうを眺めて羨んだり
欲しがってばかりでは

遠くに幕が上がってても
足元見えないで理想に酔いしれる

心がゆれて　横顔見せて
success一人占めして
がむしゃらが正義だと
見落としてしまうモノは
大きくて　戻れなくなる
とてもとても重要で
贅沢過ぎる宝探し
回り道なら見つけられる

美しくても　惑わされても
自信はすり抜けるモノ
笑える程小さなプライドなんて投げ捨て
激しさに　怯えたりして
とてもとても危険な
贅沢過ぎる宝捜し
迷い続けてく　still in the groove

Since my Japanese isn’t exactly top of the line, I think what I’ll do is transcribe the text and then translate it. So if I forget or mess up it’s easy enough to just copy paste into a denshi jisho.

So without further ado, here is Bokurano manga 55.

Can I get you something to drink?

Ah?
Ushiro: 別にいらない。
I don’t really want anything.
Yoko: じゃああたしもいいや。
Then I won’t get anything either.
Yoko: あんたと、こんな旅行みたいなのしてるなんて、
It feels kinda strange,
Yoko: 変なかんじだね。
Going with you on a trip like this.
Ushiro: おれが買ってくる。
I’ll buy you a drink.
Ushiro: 何がいい？
What do you want?
Yoko: へー、
Eh?
Ushiro: へー、なんだよ。
Eh, what?
Yoko: じゃあ、ココア。
All right, I’ll have cocoa.

Page 4:
Yoko: ウシロとあたしは２人で、
Ushiro and I, the two of us will,

We’ll get there by train, by bus, and with our own legs.

That sense of distance,

that scenery, it looks like a town.
Yoko: あたし達にはそんなことをしている時間は残されていないのかもしれない。
We probably don’t have much time left to do this.
Yoko: それでも、ジアースに関わったあたし達にとっては、
But, as we are the ones involved with Zearth,
Yoko: この時間を必要とする移動は意味があることのように思えた。
It seemed like there was some meaning for us to use this valuable time to go everywhere.

Page 5:

Of course, since Mr. Sasami has told us the whereabouts of the victims’ family members,
Yoko: 護衛の人達もついてきている。残念ながら、
Guards are also coming with us. Unfortunately,
Yoko: あたし達はそこまでの力はない。
We don’t have that much power.
Yoko: でもそれでいい。
But that’s fine.
Yoko: だってまだほんの子供なんだから。
Because after all, we are still only children.
Yoko: できることを、できる範囲で、ちょっとだけ背のびをして。
We’ll do whatever we can, to the best of our abilities, and we’ll even push ourselves further beyond that.

Yoko: へー、
Yoko: あんたでもそーいうの、気にするんだ。
Yoko: 女の子のことなんか、興味ないのかと思った。
Ushiro: 興味ないわけじゃないさ。
Yoko: でもなんかの時えらく落ち着いてたよね。
Ushiro: 別に女の裸なんていまさら、
Yoko: カ。。。カナちゃん？
Ushiro: バカ。
Ushiro: カンジだよ。
Yoko: へ？

I’ll be emailing this to lucoau@gmail.com when I’m done so he can… I think typesetting is the word.e 6

I haven’t seen the Wikipedia translation so this is my own stab at it.

A.D. 2101.
The war has begun.
Captain: Tell me what in the world just happened!
Engineer: It seems that someone has set up explosives.
Operator: Captain! Incoming transmission!
Captain: What?!
Operator: A visual is coming up on the main screen.
Captain: Y- you’re…!
CATS: You all seem very busy, gentlemen.
CATS: Through a collaboration with the Federal Forces, CATS has taken control of all your bases.
CATS: Even your warship will soon be finished.
Captain: It can’t be…!
CATS: I’m very grateful for your cooperation.
CATS: Cherish what’s left of your short lives.
CATS: Hahahahaha…
Operator: Captain…
Captain: Order all ZIG units to take off!
Captain: We have no choice but to place all our faith in them…
Captain: They’re the only hope for our future…
Captain: We’re counting on you, ZIG!!

Tokyo Game Show:

A big thanks to all the fans who came to the stage for Rune Factory Frontier!

I got a turnip！！！o(*≧□≦)o″
An actual, edible turnip… yep.

At the stage, there was a gaming tournament, and the grand prize was a turnip!
I think I want to make some miso soup with this turnip～☆ミ

If I make some, I wonder if I should upload some pics…

[picture]

At the Square Enix booth☆

I met all the staff members from Final Fantasy XI.
From left to right: Hiromichi Tanaka, me, Takashi Hasegawa, Rieko Katayama, Arata Hanyuda

Right now I want to play the trial version of FFXI again.
I haven’t done it yet, but I definitely won’t miss this chance☆ミ

I’m going to try my hand at being a Red Mage!
I wonder when I’ll hit level 75…
With a loud “kiai!”, I’m gonna go for it!!
It’s quite the level sink!* Naturally （*＾∇＾*） .
—————————

*I THINK level sink is the equivalent of what we English speakers call a level grind. i.e. You have to do a lot of tedious monster fighting and repetitive battles to really level up. It’s kind of expected for MMORPGs x_x.
