Inochi no Spare English Translation Release

Image
I'm excited to announce that the English Translation Patch for Inochi no Spare has been released!  This patch has been months in the making and the result of a lot of hard work from many people. I want to thank the entire team at Project TBA for helping out: Adrianrhod for doing the programming and image editing, Poutchouli for doing the editing, Shinyy and Belm for doing QC, and a special thanks to Ange. Without this amazing team, this release would not have been possible by any stretch of the imagination.  Inochi no Spare's story is a poignant one and certainly packs a punch. I hope that my translation is able to deliver on all the emotions that were present in the original Japanese and that everyone who reads my translation will find some sort of enjoyment from it.  You can download the patch here .  If you want to talk to the team about Inochi no Spare, the process, or anything in general, feel free to hop into our Discord server as well. I hope to see you guys there! 

Translation Corner: Nagomibako

So I'm writing my first "proper" blog post on here. Here, I'll be detailing and highlighting some of the lines in the translation of Nagomibako that I feel are worth talking about. Despite its small script size, there's quite a bit of interesting lines and jokes that I thought I would go over.  It's been a hot minute since the Nagomibako translation has released and now that the dust has finally settled, it feels about to do some reflection on several of the lines that I feel like highlight the translation job I did on Nagomibako. I'll keep this short and sweet and only talk about a few of the parts of the translations that I personally think are the extreme highlights. Potential spoilers and NSFW stuff ahead. 1.  The original Japanese line for the final sentence is "血に塗れた由良の嗤い声が、聴く者も絶えた病院に何時までも響いていた。". A more direct translation of the line would be something along the lines of "Yura, covered in blood, lets out a laugh that echoes throughout

Announcement: Going on Hiatus

Just a short announcement from me: I'll be going on hiatus for the foreseeable future and therefore, the translation for "After Being Sacked From My Band, I Found Myself 10 Years in the Past To Redo My Life and Save My Idol" will be stalled.  A bunch of things came up and unfortunately, I will have to put that WN series on the backburner. I know this is a disappointment for those who enjoyed the series, so I apologize. Hopefully, someone else will be able to pick up the series in my stead. Anyways, that's all from me. Until next time.

After school, I immediately head to the desolate shopping district to meet Shigure. I was worried that the lonesome girl who sings by herself wouldn't be here today, but it seems like I was worried over nothing. She's wearing the same hoodie over her uniform as yesterday. Slung over her shoulder is the Yamaha acoustic guitar. She's as unapproachable as ever, but for me, it feels comforting. I mean hey, I have her all to myself. That's a major plus. "You're here again?" "Of course. Why wouldn't I?" "I don't get you... Well, if you want to hear me, I guess I can't stop you." "Stop being so down on yourself. I really enjoy listening to your singing, you know." Shigure, instead of giving her usual exasperated replies, stood in silence, comp

"Hey Shibakusa, were you with Narahara yesterday by any chance?" She went to the same middle school as Shigure. In fact, she was the one who told me Shigure was singing in the desolate shopping district. Well, she probably lives near that shopping district and happened to see me with Shigure yesterday. "Oh, yeah... You curious about that?" I play back the events of yesterday in my head to make sure I didn't do anything suspicious. I mean, hey, I may have been pressing Shigure's button a bit, but it's not anything worth complaining about, at least from the perspective of a fellow classmate. "What were you doing with her?" "Uh, I was listening to her sing. I'm in the light music club too, so I asked her if she wanted to join my band." She sighs heari

After being sacked from my band, I found myself 10 years in the past to redo my life and save my idol - Chapter 6: Sunset

  Chapter 6: Sunset Link to Original C hapter: https://ncode.syosetu.com/n8526hq/6/ _____________________ I remember what was written in a music magazine when Shigure debuted. "During my high school days, I rarely went to school. Instead, I found myself performing on the street by the shopping district." As her fan, that line in the magazine stuck out to me. That means if I want to go searching for her, I'll have more success in the shopping district as opposed to the school. Yesterday, I was able to meet Shigure in the clubroom, but I won't be as lucky anymore. From what I remember, she never showed up at school before officially quitting. That being said, she did send in an admission form for the light music club. If Shigure acts just like my first time, I won't see her ever again unless I go actively searching for her. I have to act now and not waste this chance. If I walk around the nearby shopping district, I should be able to find her. If I'm able to tal

Chapter 5: Transparent Girl Link to Original C hapter: https://ncode.syosetu.com/n8526hq/5/ _____________________ It's the next day, which means it's my third day of high school. I dashed out of the classroom as soon as the after-school bell chimed. Actually, I might have had a head start now that I think about it.  Where else would I be going but the light music classroom? It's Wednesday, which means club activities are on break for today, but that doesn't mean there aren't events that aren't within my control in order to change my youth.  Today is the day I meet Shigure Narahara. I don't know if it's because she knew the club had a day off today, but we bumped into each other in the empty club room. I can't remember what we talked about my first time here. It was probably some idle talk, since that was the first and only time I talked with her.  In order to steer her away from her tragic future, I better think of a plan to change her course, even i
