This Is Zack.

And, uh, sorry for the whispering, but if one of you guys could maybe alert the authorities that Amarissia will not stop video-stalking my voice, that would be awesome and I will reward you with

MY journal, Zack! Mine! And stop acting like I'm torturing you. I am learning. Language study, etc.

Zack: "Are not. You have no idea what he's saying."

I do! Thus far, in the space of one video, I have learned that your voice does Godzilla impressions, likes bread, something about an amusement park, then there was a long discourse on how dogs like to be walked? HEE HEE HEE, I guess you'd know.

Zack: *pout*

Hmm, it seems to be from that odd Choujin Tights show that documents your voice's short attention span and hobby of flailing about like a lunatic in public. The best part is that no one thinks this is odd. People walk by and don't even double-take. If Suzuken came here and re-enacted his epic battle against an insect in public, he would really alarm passersby. And the Choir would alarm him. It would be a vicious cycle, Genesis would get Gackt in trouble, blah blah blah. Moving on.

Zack: "Can we not move on?"

These are important tidbits of information, Zacky. Yike, Suzuken talks sooo fast. I love the sound of his voice and he's my favorite for testing my translation skills, but he makes it difficult.

Zack: "You hear me talk all the time, don't we sound the same?"

He laughs more. He is auditory Prozac. Also, Suzuken is apparently concerned about giants, he thinks potatoes are awesome, and he has strong feelings about butter, although I can't say with certainty whether they're positive or negative. Huh. See, this is good, by comparison it makes kanji look less brain-breaking. Onward!

Zack: "Angeeeeeal, make her stoooop!"
Angeal: *smiling at screen*
Zack: "Gah, you're no help."

Kanji! *brain shuts down* ...Zack?

Zack: "Nope."

Cloudy?

Cloud: *squint* "Um, what's it called? A locked-up place, with bars. For girls, though, so I couldn't come along if you went there."

A prison? LOL, yes, but the prison is in my own mind and it's made up of characters that start off deceptively simple and then progress to dear Gaia that one has 20 strokes! *twitch*

*pout* Google translate is MEAN, it totally fails when I try to read Russian Mirage of Blaze translations! *kicks it*

:) I was on a Japanese video site, so I had no idea what anything said. Hold on...I'm still there. Send an intervention team.

Yeah, for short phrases GT is okay IF you're careful about double-checking meanings. Full sentences give hilarious results. Okay for browsing blogs, not so good for more complex stuff.

Take pity on Zack and practice with anime or NHK, will you? Once in a while? I don't want to find him shivering on my doorstep one morning crying "save me from the stalker lady." Especially since I know Angeal won't be far behind with a huge-ass sword.

Zack: "But then she makes us watch Tenchijin, or Mirage of Blaze. So many...gay samurai." *twitches*
Angeal: *hugs*

Here lies the real reason why Commodore Perry could open Japan to the West. It wasn't because of superior technology, it was because the leadership were all busy banging each other like screen doors in hurricanes.

And the real reason for wanting Japan opened up - "Come out with your hands up and hand over your superior pornings!" :)
