Excerpt from Kara no Kyoukai:
“What does a view from a high place remind you of? The impulse you feel when you look down at the world you live in. A violent cognition that attacks you even if you refuse it. An emotion created by an overlooking view. That’s ‘far’.

A puzzle emerges in this chapter, one of a semi-painful kind, but not too hard to figure out. 🙂
MIKA: あ~, 眠たい (Aa, nemutai)
Agh, so sleepy…
KAZUKI: ミカ, 寝不足? (Mika, nebusoku)
Mika, did you sleep at all last night?
MIKA: 最近なんか寝苦しくってさぁ (Saikin nanka negurushikutte saa)
なかなか寝付けないモンだから (Naka naka netsukenai mon dakara)
ロープレ始めたら (ROOPURE hajimetara)
ハマっちゃって….. (hamacchatte)
気が付いたら朝になってんの (Kigatsuitara asa ni natten no)
Who knows? I don’t think I’ve been sleeping well at all.
Though I guess it’s from all this work I’m trying to get done.
RPGs are fun to play,
but once you pick them up, they’re hard to put down.
Next thing you know, it’s already morning.
KAZUKI: ヘボいヤツ (Heboi yatsu)
(1)That is so weak of you.
MIKA: そんなこんなで (Sonna konna de)
今日は早く帰って寝るのです! (kyou wa hayaku kaette neru no desu)
Uncalled for!
I’m hitting the sack as soon as I get home!
KAZUKI: だいたいミカは… (Daitai Mika wa)
そうやって早く帰って (Sou yatte hayaku kaette)
夕方から寝るから (yuugata kara neru kara)
夜, 眠れなくなるんだよ (yoru, nemurenaku narun da yo)
このバカ女!! (Kono baka onna)
You’ll just make it worse for yourself…
If you go to sleep now,
you’ll wake up at sundown,
and you’re still going to have trouble sleeping at night.
Common sense, silly!!
4. STRANGE ENVY (変嫉)

Attention. Before we proceed, I will say this. This has been a bit fucked up. Kudos to the man who thought this game up.
Thanks for all your patience. Here’s HENSHITSU coming your way.
MIKA: ウキャッ! (Ukyau)
なに, この風? (Nani, kono kaze)
パンツ見えるよ… (PANTSU mieru yo)
Yikes!
What a strong breeze.
I could’ve flashed somebody in this skirt…
MIKA: …ん, あれっ? (N, areu)
…この匂い (Kono nioi)
…Hm?
…What’s that smell?
MIKA: センパイ! センパイ! (Senpai Senpai)
Senpai! Senpai!
YUKARI: なに, また何かあったの? (Nani, mata nanika atta no)
What’s up? Nosing for gossip again?
MIKA: 違います, プー (Chigaimasu, puu)
何かヘンなんですって (Nanika hen nan desu tte)
今日の朝にね… (Kyou no asa ni ne)
Gimme a break!
Bet you’ll never guess what happened
on my way here.
YUKARI: はいはいはい… (Hai hai hai)
ストーカーにでも尾けられたの? (SUTOOKAA ni de mo tsukerareta no)
Let me try…
You got yourself a stalker?
MIKA: そんな, ドラマじゃないんだから… (Sonna, DORAMA ja nain dakara)
そんな事より聞いて下さいよ~ (Sonna koto yori kiite kudasai yo)
朝, 風が吹いてたんですけど… (Asa, kaze ga fuitetan desu kedo)
その時の匂い, どっかで嗅いだような (Sono toki no nioi, dokka de kaida you na)
なんか懐かしい匂いなんですよね… (nanka natsukashii nioi nan desu yo ne)
As if!
Just hear me out, Senpai.
I caught a scent this morning from somewhere far off,
and it made me feel…
nostalgic for some reason…
CHISATO: ミカちゃん (Mika-chan)
それ妖精のイタズラだよ (sore yousei no itazura da yo)
妖精は人間にすごく嫉妬してて (Yousei wa ningen ni sugoku shitto shite te)
幸せな人を見ると, その人に近づいて (shiawase na hito wo miru to, sono hito ni chikadzuite)
金色の粉を振りかけるの (kiniro no kona wo furi kakeru no)
Mika,
that sounds like the work of the fairy folk.
They can get very envious of humans and their happiness,
so they would walk up to one to sprinkle
gold powder on their heads.
YUKARI: チサト…? (Chisato)
あんたの頭もだいぶクラッシュしてるね (Anta no atama mo daibu KURASSHU shiteru ne)
やばいよ… (Yabai yo)
Uh…Chisato…?
Where did all of that just come from? Are you high?
You’re talking crazy…
CHISATO: ユカリちゃん! (Yukari-chan)
真剣に話してるの! (Shinken ni hanashiteru no)
Yukari, please!
I’m being very serious here!
YUKARI: す…すみません, トホホ (Su sumimasen, tohoho)
Ohhh…sorry, hahaha…
CHISATO: でね, 金色の粉をかけられた人は (De ne, kiniro no kona wo kakerareta hito wa)
Anyway, when people get this powder on them, they…

MIKA: 逸島センパイ? (Itsushima-senpai)
で, どうなるんです? (De, dou narun desu)
Itsushima-senpai?
So, what happens?
CHISATO: わたし, 先に帰ろ (Watashi, saki ni kaero)
I’m heading back.
YUKARI: ちょ, ちょっと, チサト? (Cho, chotto, Chisato)
待ちなって! (Machi natte)
Um, Chisato what?
Hey! Get back here!
MIKA: で, どうなるの…? (De, dou naru no)
So, what happens…?
MIKA: 妖精って, また大胆な話するな~ (Yousei tte, mata daitan na hanashi suru na)
逸島センパイって (Itsushima-senpai tte)
何食べて生きてんだろ? (nani tabete ikiten daro)
あっ, そういえば逸島センパイ (Au, souieba Itsushima-senpai)
様子がヘンだったけど (Yousu ga hen datta kedo)
…どうしちったんだろ? (doushi chattan daro)
Fairies, now that’s a story if I’ve ever heard one.
How am I supposed to take Itsushima-senpai seriously
with a case like that?
Not to mention the fact that
she was acting really strange this morning.
What was up with her?
MIKA: ……まいっか (Ma ikka)
……Whatever.
MIKA: !?
MIKA: 誰? 何してるの? (Dare Nani shiteru no)
どうしてこんなところにいるの? (Doushite konna tokoro ni iru no)
Who are you? What do you want?
And why are you out here so late?
RYOU: 覚えているのか… (Oboete iru no ka)
You don’t remember…
MIKA: なに? あんた何いってんの? (Nani Anta nani itten no)
ひょっとしてヘンタイ? (Hyottoshite hentai)
Huh? What are you talking about?
You’re not a pervert, are you?
RYOU: 会いたかった, あれから… (Aitakatta, are kara)
I’ve been wanting to see you again, you know…
MIKA: ちょっと, マジ? (Chotto, maji)
やばいよ, こいつ…… (Yabai yo, koitsu)
近づかないでよ! (Chikadzukanai de yo)
Whoa, are you serious?
OK, that’s it……
Stay away from me, you creep!
RYOU: おまえを守る為にきた (Omae wo mamoru tame ni kita)
月の悲しみが溢れる時 (Tsuki no kanashimi ga afureru toki)
2頭の禁欲な馬に見送られて (2-tou no kinyoku na uma ni miokurarete)
…すべてを許せる人に (subete wo yuruseru hito ni)
I came here to help you out.
When the moon’s sadness is in full view,
(1)a shackled, two-headed horse will watch you leave…
…someone is about to let everything loose.
MIKA: …………
CHISATO: あれっ! どうしたのミカちゃん? (Areu Doushita no Mika-chan)
こんなところにいるなんて… (Konna tokoro ni iru nante)
Oh! Is that you, Mika?
What are you out here for?
MIKA: …その格好 (Sono kakkou)

CHISATO: えっ, これ? (Eu, kore)
ううん, ちょっとね, 用事があって (Uun, chotto ne, youji ga atte)
Oh, you mean my clothes?
Yeahh, just went on a little errand, that’s all.
MIKA: …用事? (Youji)
…An errand?
CHISATO: ミカちゃんはどうしてここに? (Mika-chan wa doushite koko ni)
Mika, why are you here?
MIKA: どうしてって, あたしのマンション (Doushite tte, atashi no MANSHON)
この先なんですけど… (kono saki nan desu kedo)
Why? I live around here.
I take this street to school and back all the time.
CHISATO: あぁ, 確かそうだっけ… (Aa, tashika sou dakke)
でももう, 大丈夫だよ (Demo mou, daijoubu da yo)
Ohh, I see…
Well, no matter. It’s done now.
MIKA: なにいってんですか? (Nani itten desu ka)
What are you talking about?
CHISATO: だから, 大丈夫なのよ (Dakara, daijoubu na no yo)
もういいの, ミカちゃんは… (Mou ii no, Mika-chan wa)
Like I said, it’s all good.
Don’t worry about it…
MIKA: なにいってんの! (Nani itten no)
あんたら! なに考えてんの? (Antara Nani kangaeten no)
What is your deal?!
What are you yammering on about!?
CHISATO: ミカちゃん, いらないんだよ (Mika-chan, iranain da yo)
わからないかなぁ, もう (Wakaranai ka naa, mou)
誰もいないよ, 帰っても (Daremo inai yo, kaette mo)
Mika, it’s only you and me.
You really have no idea, do you?
The neighborhood’s been cleared out, so you’d better head on home.
MIKA: ……?
……なにしたの? (Nani shita no)
その格好, なに? (Sono kakkou, nani)
なにしたの!? (Nani shita no)

ダメだよ, 感情的になっちゃ (Dame da yo, kanjouteki ni naccha)

I have no idea what you’re talking about,
and I couldn’t give a rat’s ass what you’ve got to say to me.
I have enough troubles as it is, you know?
More than enough even, so reality check!
What kind of grown-up are you anyway?
Did all your friends ditch you or something?
Please, this was a waste of time…

Introductions!
The project has begun. With special credit to iwakuraproductions for he will try to extract scripts for me, although I’m sure he’ll be a lot more eager to begin with a Silver Case translation. As for why I’m doing this? Because no one else ever thought to pick this project up. And the fanbase that doesn’t accept all this Suda mainstreaming is a small one with very few moonruners, including me. But just because I’m doing the MS translation doesn’t mean I’m one of the best. If you rate me on a scale of 1 to 10, I’d be a 6.5, and I feel that that’s too high a rating considering how very little I care for most Engrish translations, which leads me to rewording and even omitting some details that are otherwise unnecessary or self-explanatory.
In any case, I welcome you to my first Japanese-to-English translation of a videogame. 🙂
Q: Do you have any other videogames in mind after this?
Atm, yes. I’m not taking on big projects but ones I’d like to do out of pure self-interest. At least, for now. The second project will obviously be the infamous Silver Case, followed by SC 25 Ward (if it ever comes out!). Others involve any obscure videogame that’s too good not to translate, such as Twilight Syndrome. Basically, my to-do list consists of:
- Moonlight Syndrome
- Silver Case
- Twilight Syndrome: DS
Small list, I know. We all have to start somewhere. But I’m also interested in a recent Type-Moon release, which is nothing like what I’ve gotten used to. However, another bunch of people are already in the process of translating that game. Yet, I’m given to understand that one of them is a notorious heretofore anonymous un-translator who is not only a–shudder–Google translator, but he is also one of my brethren, and he never second-guesses his translations. And he’s done some pretty fucked up things to that TM game’s text, so I’m just saving a spot for this game in case the translation team doesn’t follow through with the project.
With all this said, the fellows in the killer7 forum I’m sure have seen this now that I’ve linked it so let’s begin. 🙂
