Yookoso! (Welcome!)
Greetings, visitors, and welcome to my humble translation page! Here, I will be posting my translations for the Japanese lyrics of musicals (and possibly also musical films). This is an ongoing project I've set for myself and is meant to be a learning experience for me as well as visitors to this site, so I'll include updates in the "Updates" page as they come, as well as notes on what I'll be attempting next.
What shows I translate will be entirely dependent on what I can get my hands on, so I'm afraid I can't take requests on what show to translate next. However, if you have scans of lyric booklets from Japanese musicals (or even text documents that include either the original Japanese characters or the Romaji text) and would like me to translate them, please send them to me and I'll gladly attempt them! I can do a fair bit with just audio recordings of the musicals, but I'd prefer to have the actual lyric sheet whenever possible.
Visitors unfamiliar with the Japanese language can find useful notes on the "Translation Notes" page, where I will try to clarify a few of the tricky things about translating from Japanese to English (especially when they are lyrics originally written in English or other European languages). In cases that are specific to parts of a certain musical, though, I will include parenthetical notes and footnotes in the translations themselves. If, however, you believe you have found any mistakes in my translations or double-meanings I may not have been aware of, please contact me or leave a comment on my Guestbook. Again, this is meant to be a learning experience for all involved. The "Translation Notes" page also has an explanation of the site's title for any who are curious.
Aside from all that, I hope you have fun browsing my site!
I remain your obedient servant,
