忙しい人のための紅魔郷 Embodiment of Scarlet Devil for Busy Person Translated 45b
updated
This is the last episode of the Youtube version. Thanks for watching!
If you'd like to see the rest of the game, please use the translation patch that you can get from my thread at MotK: http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,11099.0.html
TL note:
01:11 - should be "if I were to measure it ..."
With that said, I forgot to patch in my own proofreading which is why 23 and 24 will be especially full of typos.
TL notes:
00:30 - (Tip) You know this guy. He was announcing the spring that one time, and screaming in anguish as he was thrown onto the poisonous ground.
10:13 - Should be "Hakugyokurou".
11:06 - Missing a period.
12:00 - Should be "leasht".
TL notes:
8:17 - By the way, is Hell or Makai the more widely used term in Touhou community? I'm not sure. I'm still going to leave Hell here.
9:50 - (Tip) Planet alignment usually refers to the phenomenon in which all the plants of the Solar system are aligned on a line. There's nothing significant about this from an astronomical perspective, but it is an important event for the followers of occult. Next time this happens will be in the year 2116. Isn't it a bit sad we won't be around to see it?
10:08 - (Tip 1) This phenomenon refers to the moon concealing the sun. Japanese used to have a special kanji for "eclipse", but it's rarely used now. This phenomenon happens roughly twice every year, each time in a different location. It's a beginner level phenomenon.
10:08 - (Tip 2) When the moon happens to pass between Earth and Sun, Earth's shadow partically obscures it. Unlike the solar eclipse, lunar is more lenient to the locations it can be seen at. Lunar eclipse happens roughly once every year, though sometimes it happens multiple times in the same year.
10:08 - (Tip 3) Grand cross refers to planets of Solar system aligning themselves in a cross. The last one happened in August, 1999. There was a lot of talk of some Nostradamus prophecy about the ruin it would cause, but as you can see, nothing particularly dreadful happened back then.
11:40 - (Tip) When the water is too clean, it means it has no plankton and fish can't live there. This saying means that when a person is too good, he has no friends other than his parents.
12:06 - (Tip) This phenomenon happens in summers in places beyond 66.6 degrees of latitude. They have days when the sun just doesn't set at all. This happens both north and south. Of course, Gensokyo is nowhere near the poles, it's just that the common sense doesn't apply to it.
TL note:
1:35 - Should be "thought".
TL notes:
02:51 - (Tip) Pharaoh is a ruler of Ancient Egypt. This word has many negative connotations these days.
04:02 - (Tip) "Mori Izo", "Maou" and "Murao", three M's.
16:32 - Should be "thish ishn't", not "ishn't thish".
25:39 - (Tip) I'm pretty sure you know what we're talking about here, but the tip is for the original Japanese term, "Bouchuujutsu". The term originates from China, where it was believed that union between a man and a woman, between Yang and Yin, leads to the creation of everything.
25:58 - (Tip) This word here means a traditional Japanese straw cloak, "mino". It's a type of raingear, because raindrops would just ran along the straws without soaking into them.
37:33 - Should be "keeps growing".
49:34 - Why do I have to do this? -_- (Tip) This type of technique relies on biting on your tongue and attempting to swallow it. Tongue generally gets stuck in your throat and you suffocate. You might remember all those pictures of dead people with tongues sticking out, but generally the tongue retracts in the event of death. If you see someone faking death with a tongue sticking out, you can call them out on that.
1:07:31 - (Tip) You might remember Alice being the owner during PCB for Busy Person, but she was demoted. This means that the name Cafe Margatro makes even less sense now.
1:13:39 - (Tip) You might be familiar with the term "tetsuya" for all-nighters in Japanese, but this is "kantetsu" instead. The implications of this term are that you didn't spend the night drinking or playing, but rather that you were studying for something or doing something useful.
1:17:20 - (Tip) Delicacy from Niigata. Chilly peppers, malt and salt all fermented together. Can be used as an ingredient or seasoning.
1:17:29 - (Tip) Also known as "cheek piercer" (guess why). Said to be the lights leading ghosts to afterlife, which is why the charactes stand for "demon" and "light" (they aren't guiding them to heaven). Has a lot of mysterious tales told about it. Means "falsehood" in the language of flowers. The most beautiful berries are poisonous, so watch out.
TL note:
4:22 - Marisa and Daiyousei are voiced by the same actress. Keep that in mind, this knowledge will be useful in episode 19 as well.
TL note:
6:07 - Should be "humans".
I obviously had to restructure the joke a bit, but I think this adaptation is decent enough.
TL note:
0:37 - (Tip) This tip here is for the original Japanese word "bon'you", which I'm sure you don't care about. It's often confused with other similar words, like "han'you", the difference between them is roughly the same as between "mediocre" and "generic".
I thought this episode was excessively long, but then I saw the 19th one.
TL notes:
18:01 - (Tip) Post-traumatic stress disorder. Refers to various disorders that occur following a mental trauma. Weird behavior when you recall your bizarre past is considered a form of PTSD as well. Refer to PCB for Busy Person Bad End 16 for an additional example.
25:45 - "me" missing.
35:01 - (Tip) This is an episode from a story of confrontation between a powerful oni Shuten Douji and Minamoto Yorimitsu. When the oni was drugged, he uttered this line, trying to shame Yorimitsu by telling him an oni wouldn't do that. However, he also laid traps for his men just before that happened, which somehow reduces the message's value.
I'm going on a week-long vacation from now, so no new episodes next week.
TL note:
07:50 - Should be "duelisht".
TL Note:
4:00 - Yes, there's a "yurusanae" pun here, but there's no way I can insert it in the translation, and it's not important to begin with.
By the way, Remilia's face from 11:29 has been in the game files ever since EoSD, and there are indications that Kasugasoft tried to use it in earlier games, but for some reason, they didn't. Maybe it was for the best.
TL notes:
0:46 - should be "we've been ..."
1:00 - (Tip) There's a place by Sanzu river called children's purgatory where people who died before their parents end up. There they're forced to build a tower endlessly, but when they're almost done, demons show up and trample it. What a cruel, childish joke. Eventually, a saint will appear and save you. There's no real moral to this, it's just a cruel and unfair purgatory.
TL notes:
0:59 - (Tip) Patchouli is the only character that appears in all For Busy Person games so far. Sakuya wasn't present in EoSD Extra and got really few lines in some other games. Same goes for Remilia. However, each of those SDM residents had more screen time than the main characters, Reimu and Marisa. Other SDM characters show more restraint.
9:12 - (Tip) Thailand buddhism dolls. These cursed dolls are commonly sold as souvenirs to tourists. This look like tiny humans made from wool. They're supported by axis made from wire and straw and are covered in wool. They're said to be buddhism charms and have different effects based on color. Which makes them almighty if you collect the whole rainbow, I guess.
TL note:
1:45 - It's either that or "you better sleep with one eye open", which is closer to the original, but makes Reimu's following line a bit more awkward. Overall, there's little difference. (Tip) The original Japanese expression goes like that: "You never know what lurks in the night when there's no moon". Generally followed by a sinister laugh.
TL notes:
0:27 - Perhaps too strong of a word here. I've changed it to "harassing" in the patch.
3:42 - I know there's an extra space in that line, fixed it already. (Tip) The name of the spear used by a vassal of Tokugawa, Tadakatsu Honda. The name comes from a legend that a dragonfly once tried to rest on the tip of the spear, but got split in half. Honda was an exceptional fighter himself and it is told he was never injured in battle. Oda Nobunaga often compared him to ancient legendary fighters. Surprisingly, he wasn't a robot.
6:16 - (Tip) This is called the rock fishing. By throwing stones into the water, you create underwater waves that cause fish to faint and die. This method also damages their eggs and other aquatic life, which is why it's almost universally banned. This method can be vastly improved with explosions instead of rocks.
TL notes:
2:23 - (Tip - bahts) Thailand's unit of currency. The smaller unit is called "satan". Despite its name, you're not giving up your soul when you're using it... probably.
2:23 - (Tip - reals) Brazil's unit of currency. Depending on the language, read "heau" or "heauis". By the way, soccer team "Real" means "king" and is completely unrelated to the currency.
2:23 - (Tip - rufiyaas) Maldives' unit of currency.
2:33 - (Tip) It's time to explain the joke. X in "batsu" in Japanese. Original punchline was the currency "vatu" which is also pronounced "batsu" in Japanese. And... that's it.
Bad Ending no. 1 - "Ultimate Evil". I'm not redrawing Bad End screens this time, they wouldn't be final anyway. The patch will have redrawn screens.
TL note:
1:17 - (Tip) They refer to the bonus video from vol. 1 collection: "Reimu's part-time: Hakugyokurou". It features Reimu doing her best, her crying master and her wonderful payment.
I'm not using fast voiceover.
Project thread: shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=11099.0
TL note:
7:00 - (Tip) This expression here, like in English, has a very negative connotation. As if you screwed up majorly, and are going to receive a serious talk about it.
Visit the project thread at MotK for more information: http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,11099.0.html
TL notes:
02:18 - (Tip) In Japan, people were exiled to other isles. The distance depended on the severity of the crime. Still, unless the climate of that isle was really different, it wasn't much of a punishment.
04:43 - This was a last-second addition, so it turned to be rather bad. Should be "You ..." and "... mocked by her servants".
08:45 - (Tip) The album in question is Bunkachou, which holds the material Aya collects. It's also the name of 9.5th Touhou Project game. Since it was named after her album, Aya was the main character there. But she's not one in this game. We might feature her in future games, but this one was supposed to be our off-spin game. We're not really sure what we're going to do with Double Spoiler.
09:32 - (Tip) We're talking about Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, official Touhou encyclopedia of sorts. Costs 1995 yen. It's supposed to be based on Gensokyo Chronicle, which was written by Hieda Akyuu. The content of the book is heavily influenced by Akyuu house view of the world, which is strange for a book that is supposed to be kinda official.
18:20 - (Tip) This is Akabeko, traditional toy from Fukushima. "Beko" means cow, "aka" means read, so it's a red cow, like you would expect. There's a mechanism in its neck which makes its head bob. The legend goes that a big cow herd once attacked lumberjacks, and the last cow standing was red, so people started making talismans after it. This legend doesn't really have anything to do with gatekeeping.
20:39 - (Tip) There's no point in this tip, it's only here to give the definition of the word. If you want to know, it's read "hairu" in Japanese...
25:04 - (Tip) Also known as "applause".
26:06 - (Tip) Ancient Japanese military punishment stick. Was used to beat people on their asses, followed by death of said asses.
26:10 - (Tip) As the title suggest, it's a hexagonal box. You rotate the stick inside of it and receive the fortune determined by where the stick points to. Hakurei Shrine maiden keeps it in her sleeve.
32:16 - This is the start of the first Remilia/Sakuya misunderstanding skit. Sakuya means shinjo as in food, Remilia means Shinjo as in the baseball player.
39:43 - And this is their second skit. I won't tell you what the joke is this time, since I tried doing something different with it (try and guess yourself, though!)
45:14 - (Tip) The japanese word used here is "tanten", which is the lowest 9 cm of your belly.
53:04 - Should be "are your hips alright?"
1:03:26 - (Tip) Once upon a time, fishers had a feast in Izu port. One of them saw a giant cat eating fish heads. He got scared, so he killed it with a harpoon. He was still scared, so he buried it in the garden. Next year, that fisher has brought a pumpkin for dinner. When others asked him where he got one, he said he saw a vine coming out of his garden where he buried the cat. He dug it up and saw the pumpkin growing from the cat's mouth. The end.
The other half of the game deals with the rest of the letters. Overall, more than 200 letters were processed.
I'm sorry for all recording artifacts (such as sound stutter) you might notice. I swear, it's not like this in the actual game.
TL notes:
15:03 - (Tip) Component of Anthocyanidin, which ties together plant dyes with sugar. Can inhibit muscle fatigue and restore eyesight, but the mechanics of that aren't researched, so Japan doesn't allow drugs to be based on it. Blueberries are most famous for containing anthocyanin, but grapes, eggplants and strawberries have it as well. Also, mulberry.
35:30 - Probably a reference to one of the shorts.
40:28 - (Tip) By wipe here, we mean the small window that can be seen during TV broadcasts when they show some footage. This window features the face of a host or shows a different location than the one currently on screen.
42:38 - (Tip) Top 1 was Shanghai with 32 votes. 2nd was Flandre with 30. 3rd was Earthworm with 23. 4th was, surprisingly, Koakuma with 14 votes. Are you desperately telling us to feature her?
46:30 - (Tip) Don't worry, this rule gets broken soon enough.
The problem with disappearing endings is in the recording process. I'm not sure I can fix this. Thankfully, it isn't too serious. You can wait for patch release if you can't stand it.
I hope you like eyecatcher screens, because they appear a lot. Oh, and yes, Shanghai will be featured sometime later (not sure if YouTube version ever reaches that point).
TL note:
13:05 - "Watashi! Souzei ichimei sanjin!" is a quote from Hellsing manga. As far as I'm aware, this phrase is meaningless. If other manga translations made any sense out of it, tell me.
Same deal as always. Visit http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,11099.0.html for the complete patch and updates.
I don't have much time to work on this project, sorry if releases are going to be slow. Oh, and typo-ridden, since I have no time for proof-reading as well.
I'm now rendering videos at 720p. Original game footage is 800x600, so it could give better quality than 480p. Also, I'm not using fast voiceover mode (like I did with the other games). There's no particular reason for that, just for variety. I'm also using some leftover assets from previous patches, like the location names.
I have no idea why punctuation at the end of the lines shows up this late. I can say it's the rendering problem, since it works fine in-game. Remilia's blinking is a bit wrong for the same reason.
TL notes:
02:05 - Some kindergarteners in Japan wear smocks.
06:57 - At this point, Sakuya is mixing very formal Japanese with straight insults for some time when addressing Yakumo family. She does so for some time and then stops.
07:16 - Should be "explain".
08:23 - Should be "because of that".
10:18 - (Tip) Name of secret Italian organized crime society. The word is so popular that criminal organizations from other areas are called "mafia" occasionally. For instance, Yakuza is sometimes called "Japanese mafia".
17:35 - (Tip) The original Japanese word here is "ten'yawan'ya", which stands for "chaos, in which everyone does as he/she pleases". The word comes from "tenden" (each one) and "waya" (chaos). "Tenden" is made into "ten'ya" to indicate that each one does things their own way. "Waya" (originally a Kansai word) gets changed to "wan'ya". Why do compund words have to undergo these complex changes?
18:04 - Should be "It's so gross...".
21:52 - (Tip) Full-time employees receiving wages so low they have to live a miserable life. In a sense, this situation is even worse than having NEETs around. At times like this, people start listening to sayings like "if you work, you lose".
25:01 - (Tip) This one got popular after our 23rd episode. Patchouli's first line is "enough already!" (mou ii yo!) which got slurred to "mweenyu" somehow.
26:20 - (Tip) This word (nikujuu) is one of the pitfalls of Japanese language. Your first instinct is to read it double-kunyomi and you end up with "nikujiru". But that's wrong. It's read with onyomi readings instead - "nikujuu". The problem is that onyomi is equal to kunyomi in case of "niku". By the way, the word "onyomi" is itself a mixed on-kun word.
29:59 - Probably a reference to the famous Remilia pose from EoSD.
31:31 - Probably a reference to Fatal Frame games. Never played them, so I can't say for sure.
32:39 - (Tip) A meat bun and fried egg on top of rice. During cooking, meat drips sauce, and it's an important ingedient. In other words, it's donburi with eggs. By the way, remember the "meat soup" tip? I actually tried to write "nikujiru" first after writing it. That's what tips do to you.
35:12 - Should be "seriously".
40:42 - Should be "magnets".
TL note:
1:19 - Alice is referring to inscription on the gravestone, which says "Saigyouji Family Grave".
You can still play first stages of Reimu's route if you haven't done so.
TL notes:
5:05 - (Tip) Shanghai did a good outline of how these are made. You don't use them for normal cookies, but cat tongues require them. They are very interesting cookies that melt in your mouth. They are also called "langue de chat".
10:06 - In case you want to know, name of this cafe is written in ateji.
13:17 - (Tip) Local high-class white wine from Burgundy region of France. Fun fact: 90% of produced wine is white. You'd think red wine would be much more valuable because of that.
13:29 - (Tip) Kind of unrefined sake, made from rice and yeast. The recipe is very simple, but making this brew violates Liquor Tax Law.
17:40 - Here's a fun game - try and guess what they're referring to, see how long it takes you.
25:46 - (Tip) There's a pretty rare japanese word "biuchi" used here. It's a meeting before a performance, which discusses important props, backgrounds and stage setups.
TL notes:
00:05 - (Tip) A type of Japanese leek. Compared to usual leeks, it's thin and long. Grows in Okinawa. It's usually not pickled in vinegar but rather in salt. It's also eaten with kimchi.
7:05 - Another reference to Fist of the North Star. Also a reference to Reimu's route.
9:48-9:57 - These "sasu" use different kanji. Reimu and Remilia use 刺す, Sakuya uses 挿す. Translation reflects the meaning difference.
10:09 - (Tip) This term refers to dying in shooting games without spending bombs that can give you invulnerability for some time. It's common among beginners who think that "bombs are for losers" or "I've still got plenty of room".
12:02 - This is a reference to EoSD for Busy Person, Marisa's route stage 3.
14:54 - Reimu's term here, "yarinaoshi", refers to restarting after a Game Over (in game terms, of course).
18:12 - Of course, it should be "how many".
19:03 - By the way, Chen's meows are half-understandable at this point. This is a reference to "we have to do it multiple times", I think.
20:10 - (Tip) This law states that when you put a time limit on a task and force someone to complete it within that limit, they put more effort towards it. However, usually it isn't used with "tasks". Rather, it's more often used with "something urgent that has to be done". In that case, it's common that people break under stress instead of being more efficient.
20:35 - It's said in Japan, that dreams on New Year's Eve become true.
2:43 - Same thing indeed. Z equals 18+ in CERO terms.
5:29 - (Tip) Basically, Alice band. Also called headdress. Used to prevent hair from getting in the way during work. However, generally it's just worn as a decoration.
7:53 - For some reason, the eyecatcher screen (that's what the developers call it) didn't have the "Isogashii hito no tame no youyoumu" announcement when I was recording. I don't know why that happened.
11:44 - (Tip) A TV program in which Suwako Moriya, the deity or Moriya Shrine, talks to frogs all the time. Because the viewers can't understand frogs, it looks really one-sided to them. However, it really is one-sided as guests don't show initiative. Suwako doesn't respond to human language, and even if she does, the replies are weak. If you ignore her words, however, the program descends into rhetoric chaos.
1:42 - (Tip) This charge is applied to people who assist in hiding the criminal who has fled the crime scene. This charge doesn't apply to parents and close relatives. Moreover, in that case, the crime severity is sometimes reduced.
Also, I won't be making multi-part episodes anymore (hopefully).
By the way, Marisa and Daiyousei are voiced by the same person.
TL notes:
7:10 - (Tip) Danmaku are very good, but dangerous. They are tasty, good for hugs and cheap. If they break, they can be
recovered. They eat babies if left in pits, so be careful.
7:06-7:23 - This whole segment is based on one of the episodes of the short videos. They never explain what "danmaku" is (but it definitely isn't the usual danmaku).
9:33 - (Tip) A kind of unidentified lifeform. As the name suggests, looks like a man with moth features. It is said he is a pet of aliens. There is a statue of him in America. He also looks like a devil king.
1:15 - (Tip) This charge is reserved for people who aren't committing the actual murder, but assist the ones performing it. This means both physical assistance (like providing the weapon) and mental (like encouraging the kill). Technically, Marisa should be pressed with a criminal concealment charge, but she didn't have the chance to explain herself. Too bad for her.
TL notes:
1:22 - When I translated this line way back in spring, I didn't pay it much attention. Since then, I've seen plenty of Fist of the North Star references in this game and read a few volumes of the manga myself. Now I see that this is another possible reference - the whole tone of the scene, the name Jaanken (note the "ken" ending) and the "created in China 4000 years ago" suggest so.
4:52 - Should be "it was a complete change".
6:28 - Okay, that's horrible. "Well, looks like this is going to take a while again. I'm looking forward to it" is more like it.
Sorry for the wait, had some ridiculous problems with uploading. It was originally intended to be a 2 part episode, but looks like Youtube can't really support 15-minute videos.
TL notes:
Beginning - this episode continues with Fist of the North Star references for a bit.
7:58 - (Tip) Seriously, where is that place supposed to be?
9:20 - (Tip) Patchouli is originally a plant, as I wrote in one of the deleted EoSD tips. This plant is very brittle, and doesn't like sunlight.
Previous part: http://youtu.be/QzQuuzhrDzo
2:01 - (Tip) This is Mistress Yuyuko.
This is Mistress Yuyuko.
This is Mistress Yuyuko.
6:10 - (Tip) You know that thing. It's a vital ingredient in sashimi. Also called "shiso". Boiled leaves can be used to cure food poisoning. When they talk about "being revived with purple", they talk about this herb. Patchouli belongs to this herb family as well.
6:56 - Obvious error, it should be "Mistress Yuyuko".
8:36 - Another obvious error, it should be "what are you going to do with my house?"
You can still play first stages of Marisa's route if you haven't done so.
This is part 3 of 3. First part: http://youtu.be/QzQuuzhrDzo
1:58 - (Tip) Ramen with a pork rib on top of it. However, sometimes they use cubed meat on top of noodles, or even pork cutlets, and call it Pako noodles. No matter what it is, it has a lot of acid.
3:24 - Another error. It should be "Where is my pizza!?"
TL notes:
Beginning - this episode continues Fist of the North Star references from the end of R3-1B.
Ending - this is a reference to Chen's title "Black cat of black omens".
TL notes:
5:31 - I didn't translate this line at all to preserve the pun.
8:46 - (Tip) One of the vital spots referenced in End of Century Messiah. Its name was referenced in the subtitles. The one in the anime forced the victim to confess everything. I know there's a vital spot that forces the victim to speak, but its name is unknown. By the way, the former spot is located on the back of your neck, and the latter is behind your ears. They are often confused.
8:37 and further - a LOT of Fist of the North Star references. I've never read or seen it, so please forgive me if I got anything wrong.
By the way, did you know that Meiling and Sakuya are voiced by the same person?
In case you don't know what shiritori is, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiritori
TL note:
2:03 - (Tip) These are akin to pumpkins, but look like cucumbers. Also, they have higher nutritional value than cucumbers. Why do we even grow cucumbers?...
Yes, Yuyuko looks like that now. The characters on her mean "Saigyouji Family Grave".
TL notes:
1:00 - (Tip) A shop whose title references tigers and holes sold that. The problem was that they decided to keep huge heads and big hats. Even though the figurines had a body shaft, their feet were just too small to support the weight.
4:20 - (Tip) The game includes the definition of word "poverty" in Japanese at this point. I'm sure you don't need it.
11:32 - A typo. It's supposed to be "...so I can write".
12:47 - Aya replaces 手帳 with 手帖 here. Both are read "techou" and both mean the same thing. I have an article at Touhou WIki which explains subtle differences between these kanji: http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/User:Arknarok/Kanji_Guide/%E5%B8%B3_vs_%E5%B8%96 .
TL notes:
2:07 - (Tip) Long ago, they used cat skin for shamisens, now they use dog skin. Think about it. Also, they used cats who didn't mate, because during mating cats can easily scratch their skin. Think about this as well.
4:08 - (Tip) They have an infamous 8-note song they sing in the morning. But they are hard to see. Long ago, people used to think it was owls' song. They convinced themselves that owls are just like that and never questioned it.
