This is now the Side-B blog of http://samuraikurisu.blogspot.com.

Sorry it's been a while folks, but I decided to open up a new account to talk about my Japan experiences and leave this one open to other news, translation projects, and what not.

I don't update my Japan blog that much (writing a lot takes time and effort), and the same might be the same about this blog. But, I think this one will be for side adventures into my other hobbies.

Anyway, this blog will be for miscellaneous items and translation projects. Hopefully, the blog renders Japanese pretty well for it to be relevant. I would like to translate songs, but that being said, they are a pain in the ass because the Japanese language likes to shorten things and drop nouns, which leads to the "who did what?" situations or "whom is the singer talking to?" types of questions. I just don't like translating songs, but I can try my best (and by leaving up here, you can comment on them). Translating manga (where I can at least have a picture of the context of said words) is a whole lot easier than songs. At least for me.

Also, this will talk about other things than just daily life in Japan (perhaps political commentary?). So look forward to it.

Anyway, I am off to go change some items and come back with content. Welcome to the new B-Side (I assume this word is more or less associated with spin, or a different side than normal.
