15 Japanese Gendered First Person Pronouns in Anime and IRL Sarah Moon Japanese 2023-09-03 | How is Boku different from Ore? How is Atashi different from Watashi? Do people really use pronouns like Watakushi, Onore, and Ware in real life? Where English has just “me” and “I,” Japanese has a long list of personal pronouns to choose from. This video covers just 15, but there are more. I neglected to mention this while recording, so I hastily added an on-screen note, but in general, the Japanese language does not use pronouns as much as English does.

4 Japanese Phrases I Learned From Context Only Sarah Moon Japanese 2023-08-27 | I learned Japanese a number of ways: official classes, living in Japan, consuming and memorizing a bunch of Japanese entertainment, and translating Japanese. A common thread I've had with my learning is that I avoid using dictionaries unless I absolutely have to and I've tried to, instead, learn words and phrases from context. It takes longer, but I've found words and phrases learned this way are retained much longer, and you get a better understanding of the true essence of the word or phrase.**Original upload: 2020Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/sarahktranslate (I'm usually running a sort of translating course there for aspiring translators and/or advanced Japanese learners)channel art: upliftsquire.ArtStation.comBuy Genki 2 here: amzn.to/3nxEnGy (affiliate link - if you can avoid using Amazon, please do.)

I listened to it several times a day. The episode it played in is, to this day, one of the most poignant anime episodes I've ever seen. Original upload: 2020An English cover of a song differs from a translation in that it is singable. Meaning, it rhymes, fits with the meter of the song, and in some cases, even preserves some of the vowel sounds of the original Japanese. (I really tried to do this on a lot of the sustained notes.) This means I have to take some poetic license - English generally has fewer syllables than Japanese, so it means you sometimes have to add in stuff that wasn't in the original lyrics. Compare my cover lyrics to the literal translation below it and you'll see what I mean. And here's the disclaimer where I tell you I used a bad microphone and a noise-cancelling headphone in one ear to listen to the karaoke track while I sang - meaning, I wasn't able to hear myself sing very well. Tl;dr, my singing in this isn't great and I acknowledge that. I just want to start making more of these covers and there's still a lot I have to learn about sound engineering and converting lyrics to English as it is (as well as just get better at singing, tech issues aside) and I might as well start somewhere. Not fishing for compliments - just explaining the setup and how I hope to improve as I make more of these. English cover: Stop... Please don't wake me from my dream. Where I'll never scream. Ever in its beauties. Stop... Please just let me stay asleep. In the quiet deep. Free me from my duties If this lullaby...could rock me all my life... Blissful ignorance would be all that I know... But as heartless time turns, something in my heart stirs. As I stand in the wind... I can hear somebody calling me. Could it be you? Burning fire in my arms, burning fire in my heart I can feel it begin... Now my life is waking up to something new. Stop... Please don't let your cowardice win. Don't give in to sin... fighting with each other. Stop... Please let love's light free you from hate. Let your love create... peace with all our brothers. Fate is guiding me... in Her gentle stream... Guiding me to you and that's where I must go. With the tears in your eyes and the cheer in your smiles, Letting everything flow... You can transform all your feelings into courage I'm not scared of the pain, I will save you again No matter where you go... I'll protect you always. That's my solemn pledge. Ah... Wondered what was my purpose in life. Ah... Now I think I know why. Burning fire in my arms, burning fire in my heart Letting everything flow... If I need a meaning to my life, it will be you. With the tears in your eyes and the cheer in your smiles, No matter where you go...I'll protect you always. Always, I'll love you. Literal translation (from the original Japanese lyrics): Stop, I was having a dream. A beautifully long dream Stop, please let me sleep in the deep quiet If I had kept rocking in gentleness, I could have stayed happy and peaceful, but... Time moves, my heart stirs, and inside the wind, I can hear someone calling out to me In my body in my soul, it surges hotly. My life is waking up now. Stop, people are weak. They fight and hate each other. Stop, but only love can overcome any obstacle. Fate is luring me towards you. I can feel it clearly. Your tears, your smile, your everything...change it into just one courage. I'm not afraid of being hurt either. Now and always, I will protect you. You'll see. I'll protect you. Ah, for the first time, I know why I was born. I'm going to turn you, who shines in my body and soul, into the sole symbol signifying that I'm alive. Your tears, your smile, your everything...I will protect it. You'll see. I'll protect it.

Moonlight Densetsu, English Cover Improvised A Capella Sarah Moon Japanese 2023-08-06 | I've been wanting to make a capella English covers (and Japanese covers) of anime songs for years now so I figured I might as well start somewhere. Behold my very lovely and not at all awkward first attempt.Original upload: 2019I translated, then re-wrote Moonlight Densetsu (Sailor Moon OP) into English, then filmed myself singing the melody, then improvised soprano and alto parts against it later. I don't have a keyboard so I couldn't compose anything polished, so...improv!And yes, I notice I'm mysteriously orange in the alto part...don't know why. I recorded this all on the same day - maybe my camera didn't like my blue dress. Anyway, that's part of the learning process.Here's my English lyrics. Note how I embellished a little so they would rhyme and be the correct number of syllables, etc. It's different from a translation, which is why it's a fun challenge for me.Why can't I bring myself to speak my feelings. I'm only brave enough when I'm dreaming. I feel my brain is hurting and I'm screaming God help me, I need to see you now. My tears are cruel and blue in the moonlight. I'm wide awake at the stroke of midnight. I wanna call you but, it is a school night. My heart is spinning out of control. But o'er a million lifetimes, Guided by the moon, Please know that I Will always find you. If I can count the sparkling constellations, They'll grant me romance's jubilations We were reborn in the same generation. Miracle love under the moon Now we spend all our weekends together Now that you're mine, I'm light as a feather In past, in present, future, and forever, I am so crazy in love with you. When you first looked at me with Those familiar eyes I knew that I Could never forget And though the cosmic noise kept getting louder, Finding my love has always been my power. I took a chance on our chance-encounter And I'd have it no other way Fate is a tapestry of Loose threads on a loom And thank the gods I always found you If I can count the sparkling constellations, They'll grant me romance's jubilations We were reborn in the same generation. Miracle love under the moon Our love was a dream come true.

A Place Further than the Universe OP English Cover (The Girls Are Alright) Sarah Moon Japanese 2023-07-23 | Sora yori mo Tooi Basho (AKA, A Place Further than the Universe, AKA, "Yorimoi") is an amazing anime series with a cute/inspiring theme song. Since no one else had made an English cover of the OP, "The Girls Are Alright," I made this demo. I call it a demo because I don't have good recording equipment and the instrumental track I had to work off of wasn't the best quality. I'd love to make more English covers of anime songs in the future (particularly character image songs, or whatever hasn't already been done, really), and I would love to get some good equipment for that. Check out my Patreon if you want to help make this happen (or just binge-watch my videos to give me adsense $...haha.)Video originally uploaded 2019Note that since this is an English cover and not an English translation, I did take some liberties with the original Japanese lyrics so that lines could rhyme and have the correct number of syllables. Video originally uploaded in 2019.Sitting at my desk, my notebook in front of me. Empty pages stare up at me tauntingly. Pencil meets the page and scribbles the words: "I wish I could be a different girl..." But if wishes were horses then, beggars would ride the world. With my best friends all close by my side We'll traverse the most merciless snow This's gonna be quite a ride To the literal end of the earth, let's go! We're all right! We're all right! We're smiling Our futures' brightly shining We're climbing We're only just arriving! When we are together I know that we will weather any weather... Whatever! (lol) But hand in hand we'll never (give up) In the spacious panorama I found the missing piece of my high school days. Sneak out of school, Climb up on the roof and see... A sky so blue and cool Smiling back down at me. If I look up at Her and let out a shout Maybe I could be a different girl? There's still so much I want to do; no time to sit and pout! With my best friends giggling in my ears I feel so calm, like I'm at home They'll help to expel my fears There's no chickening out this time - let's go! We're all right! We're all right! We're running. Over walls we are tumbling We're chumming. Watch out world, we are coming! When we are together I feel that we are birds of a feather... Whatever! My cheeks are getting redder! In the spacious panorama The piece that I was missing will change my life. After school, on our bikes, as we rode down the road, we would talk, and we'd laugh a lot... About work, about grades, about school, rumors and, who was dating and who had fought It's the times that I spent with my friends That I felt I was most alive And now, I can fin'ly say That I'll not only be "all right"... I'll thrive! We're all right! We're all right! We're smiling Our futures' brightly shining We're climbing We're only just arriving! When we are together I know that we will weather any weather... Whatever! But hand in hand we'll never (give up) In the spacious panorama I found the missing piece of my high school days Together, we all found our way.

Domestic Girlfriend OP Translation and Cover | Kawaki wo Ameku Sarah Moon Japanese 2023-07-02 | “Kawaki wo Ameku,” (カワキヲアメク- howling with thirst - the opening theme to Domestic Girlfriend), has some double-meanings, archaic words, and symbolism. *this video was originally uploaded in the summer of 2019.Songs are always a little on the ambiguous side, so I interpreted it the way I saw it. The “crimson butterfly” could reference the game Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly. I basically got a bunch of links to that when I looked up “kurenai chou” on Japanese Google. It could also reference something that happened in the anime, which I did not see. Or it could just be a metaphor internal to the song. So I translated this part literally. 未熟 無ジョウ されど 美しくあれ Unripe, uncertain, however... Be beautiful No Destiny ふさわしく無い こんなんじゃきっと物足りない くらい語っとけばうまくいく 物、金、愛、言、もう自己顕示飽きた No Destiny. So incompatible. The more I say my needs aren’t being met, The more likely things will work out. With things, money, love, and words, I’m tired of putting myself out there. 既視感(デジャヴ) 何がそんな不満なんだ？ 散々ワガママ語っといて これ以上他に何がいる？ そんなところも割と嫌いじゃ無い Déjà vu, why are you so dissatisfied? You’re so selfish and demanding. What more could you possibly need? Then again, I actually don’t mind that about you. もう「聞き飽きたんだよ、そのセリフ。」 中途半端だけは嫌 Just stop. “That line’s been played to death.” A half-assed attitude is the one thing I can’t stand. もういい ああしてこうして言ってたって 愛して どうして？ 言われたって 遊びだけなら簡単で 真剣交渉無茶苦茶で 思いもしない軽(おも)い言葉 何度使い古すのか？ どうせ 期待してたんだ出来レースでも 引用だらけのフレーズも 踵持ち上がる言葉タブーにして 空気を読んだ雨降らないでよ Enough! No matter what you say and how you say it, No matter how many times you ask me why I love you, It’s all fun and games when it’s undefined, It’s a big crazy mess when things get too serious. Just how many times do you think I’ll fall for... ...your unexpected flimsy (heavy) lines? I know how this ends. This rigged game I held my breath for, Your romantic lines, filled with plagiarism, Your words which got my hopes up – make everything taboo. Take a hint, sky. Please don’t make it rain! まどろっこしい話は嫌 必要最低限でいい 2文字以内でどうぞ I hate sob stories. Keep it short. 2 words or less, please. 紅の蝶は何のメールも送らない 脆い扇子広げる その方が魅力的でしょう The crimson butterfly hasn’t texted at all. Opening a fragile fan is much more alluring, don’t’cha think? 迷で 応えられないなら ほっといてくれ 迷えるくらいなら 去っといてくれ 肝心なとこは筒抜けで 安心だけはさせられるような 甘いあめが降れば 傘もさしたくなるだろう？ このまま 期待したままでよかった 目を瞑った 変えたかった 大人ぶった 無くした 巻き戻せなかった 今雨、止まないで In a maze, If you can’t answer, then don’t bother calling me. If you can’t make up your mind, then don’t bother coming back. With the important parts on full-blast, If sweet, gentle rains fall, The kind that make one feel at ease, Won’t that make you want to share your umbrella? At this rate, I should have kept my hopes up. I should have kept my eyes shut. I wanted to change. I tried to grow up too fast. I lost so much that I can’t get back. Please, don’t stop the rain now. コピー、ペースト、デリート その繰り返し 吸って、吐いた だから それでもいいからさ 此処いたいよ Copy, paste, delete, rinse and repeat. Breathe in, breathe out. What I’m trying to say is... In spite of everything, I want to stay. もういい ああしてこうして言ってたって 愛して どうして？ 言われたって 遊びだけなら簡単で 真剣交渉支離滅裂で 思いもしない重い真実(うそ)は タブーにしなくちゃな？ きっと 期待してたんだ出来レースでも 公式通りのフレーズも 踵上がる癖もう終わりにして 空気を読んだ空晴れないでよ Enough! No matter what you say and how you say it, No matter how many times you ask me why I love you, It’s all fun and games when it’s undefined, It’s an incoherent mess when it gets too serious. Your unexpected heavy truths (lies)... ...will just have to be made taboo, I guess? Surely, This rigged game I held my breath for, Your romantic lines, perfectly calculated, It’s time to break my habit of getting my hopes up. Take a hint, sun. Please don’t shine! 今日も、雨。 傘を閉じて 濡れて帰ろうよ It’s raining again today. I’ll close my umbrella and walk home dripping wet.

105 Japanese Onomatopoeia SFX in Under 10 Minutes Sarah Moon Japanese 2023-06-19 | The Japanese language uses a lot of onomatopoeia - that is, they use sound effects to describe things. So I compiled a short list of 105 sound effects that are relatively common in manga and in daily conversation. There are, of course, many more sound effects besides these. As I was editing the video, I realized I left out some of my favorites. But this is a good start.Original upload: 2019Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/sarahktranslate Purchase my Japanese study materials!$15: all study guides (from either Genki I or Genki II)$30: all study guides (both Genki I and Genki II)$40: all worksheets, answer keys, and study guides (for Genki I)$50: everythingSend any of these dollar amounts to either:Paypal: paypal.me/PrettyTranslator Or Kofi://ko-fi.com/sarahmoon (files can be purchased directly here)Or you can email me at sarahktranslate@yahoo.com.upliftsquire.ArtStation.comBuy Genki 2 here: amzn.to/3nxEnGy (affiliate link - if you can avoid using Amazon, please do.)

“Black Lives Matter” in Japanese? Sarah Moon Japanese 2023-05-29 | When I originally uploaded this video in 2020, it got dislike-bombed and received a lot of angry comments. If you’re angry that I made a video going over the Japanese translations of the slogan “black lives matter,” consider this little logical exercise: If I say, “I love cake,” does that mean “I hate pie”? No. It doesn’t mean that. By saying “I love cake,” I’m bringing attention to the fact that I love cake. Maybe I feel the need to say I love cake because people think I don’t love cake, or people have been hating on cake a lot and I wanted to give it some love. I love ALL desserts...ALL desserts matter...but that doesn’t mean if I say, “I love cake,” that I Don’t love other desserts, too.If I say “Black lives matter,” I am NOT saying that the lives of non-Black people don’t matter. I think the slogan rubs some people the wrong way because this is the impression they get from it. The slogan and the movement are meant to bring awareness, social change, and legislation to protect Black lives from police brutality. It’s not meant to ignore or erase white lives, Asian lives, Indigenous lives, or any other non-Black lives.A slogan is meant to be short and catchy. Something you can chant at a protest or print on signs or T-shirts. As such, it’s difficult to distil a nuanced idea into a slogan. As a linguist, I’m fascinated by how slogans are translated and I made this video to take a deep dive into the linguistics of the slogan and how it’s translated, not to virtue-signal. Also, if it wasn’t already painfully obvious, I am socially progressive, so racial justice is an issue I, and a lot of my followers care about. So me making a video like this is not entirely out of left-field (heh...).And before you accuse me of “ruining Japan” by “pushing my woke agenda on them,” the translations of Black lives matter covered in this video are BY Japanese people, not me. Newsflash, there are Black people in Japan. There are socially progressive people in Japan. Japan is NOT a monolithic conservative ethnostate.Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/sarahktranslate Purchase my Japanese study materials!$15: all study guides (from either Genki I or Genki II)$30: all study guides (both Genki I and Genki II)$40: all worksheets, answer keys, and study guides (for Genki I)$50: everythingSend any of these dollar amounts to either:Paypal: paypal.me/PrettyTranslator Or Kofi://ko-fi.com/sarahmoon (files can be purchased directly here)Or you can email me at sarahktranslate@yahoo.com.upliftsquire.ArtStation.comBuy Genki 2 here: amzn.to/3nxEnGy (affiliate link - if you can avoid using Amazon, please do.)

When is cultural localization justified? Sarah Moon Japanese 2023-05-22 | Many anime otaku prefer literal translations with a translator's note. My clients don't like that kind of translation, and neither do I! While readers will be able to get the meaning of what was said, it will not have emotional or cultural significance to them. So, sometimes I have to completely change the meaning of something so the original author's intention and the characters' emotions can come across better. Here are 4 examples of this that have actually come up in otome games I've translated around the year 2017.Original upload: 2018Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/sarahktranslate Purchase my Japanese study materials!$15: all study guides (from either Genki I or Genki II)$30: all study guides (both Genki I and Genki II)$40: all worksheets, answer keys, and study guides (for Genki I)$50: everythingSend any of these dollar amounts to either:Paypal: paypal.me/PrettyTranslator Or Kofi://ko-fi.com/sarahmoon (files can be purchased directly here)Or you can email me at sarahktranslate@yahoo.com.upliftsquire.ArtStation.comBuy Genki 2 here: amzn.to/3nxEnGy (affiliate link - if you can avoid using Amazon, please do.)

How I Translate -chan, -san, -kun, -sama Japanese to English Sarah Moon Japanese 2023-04-10 | In which I explain what the main Japanese honorifics mean and why I think it's a bad idea to leave them in as-is when translating anime, manga, otome games, etc. I don't think they should be dropped or disregarded, I think the English language has many subtle equivalents for these honorifics, and these should be used instead. I realize many anime fans will disagree and prefer that honorifics be left in their subtitles (I used to feel the same way!), but please consider.......Original upload: 2017Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/sarahktranslate Purchase my Japanese study materials!$15: all study guides (from either Genki I or Genki II)$30: all study guides (both Genki I and Genki II)$40: all worksheets, answer keys, and study guides (for Genki I)$50: everythingSend any of these dollar amounts to either:Paypal: paypal.me/PrettyTranslator Or Kofi://ko-fi.com/sarahmoon (files can be purchased directly here)Or you can email me at sarahktranslate@yahoo.com.upliftsquire.ArtStation.comBuy Genki 2 here: amzn.to/3nxEnGy (affiliate link - if you can avoid using Amazon, please do.)

Japanese Particles 101 wo, wa, ga, ni, de, to, e, kara, mo, to shite, demo Sarah Moon Japanese 2023-04-03 | In which I cover the basic Japanese particles for beginners. It's very easy to make short sentences in Japanese if you know the basic particles and a few nouns, verbs, and adjectives.*I made a mistake in one of my jokes about particle "de"! I realized waaaaaay after the fact that you wouldn't use "de" in the "comment section de leave a hate comment" example. It would actually be "ni" because you're not physically in the comments section - the comments section is a place that you're putting your hate comment into.**Original upload: 2019Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/sarahktranslate Purchase my Japanese study materials!$15: all study guides (from either Genki I or Genki II)$30: all study guides (both Genki I and Genki II)$40: all worksheets, answer keys, and study guides (for Genki I)$50: everythingSend any of these dollar amounts to either:Paypal: paypal.me/PrettyTranslator Or Kofi://ko-fi.com/sarahmoon (files can be purchased directly here)Or you can email me at sarahktranslate@yahoo.com.upliftsquire.ArtStation.comBuy Genki 2 here: amzn.to/3nxEnGy (affiliate link - if you can avoid using Amazon, please do.)

How I Translate Japanese Otome Games Sarah Moon Japanese 2023-03-06 | A viewer asked me to show the process of translating Japanese. So I took some screenshots of an actual otome game I translated last year, and I break down step by step how I translated it. Note that this is NOT a video about using a program to switch the text in a game from Japanese to English. It is about how I, a professional translator of games, translate the game text for the games' English language commercial release.*Note: Around 13:50 I mistakenly refer to the verb “hokorobaseru” as “passive.” It’s actually causative. Again, I learned my intermediate-advanced Japanese through exposure and not textbooks, so I didn’t learn until well after the fact what these grammar rules are called and I still mix up what they’re called in English from time to time.Also around 15:00 I call something an “object” when it’s actually the subject.**Original upload: May, 2018Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/sarahktranslate Purchase my Japanese study materials!$15: all study guides (from either Genki I or Genki II)$30: all study guides (both Genki I and Genki II)$40: all worksheets, answer keys, and study guides (for Genki I)$50: everythingSend any of these dollar amounts to either:Paypal: paypal.me/PrettyTranslator Or Kofi://ko-fi.com/sarahmoon (files can be purchased directly here)Or you can email me at sarahktranslate@yahoo.com.upliftsquire.ArtStation.comBuy Genki 2 here: amzn.to/3nxEnGy (affiliate link - if you can avoid using Amazon, please do.)

Lets Translate Light Novels: Final Episode (26) Sarah Moon Japanese 2023-02-20 | Learn how Nakago from Fushigi Yuugi got the way he is... For some plot wrap-ups and spoilers, check the end of the pinned comment.For intermediate-advanced Japanese learners, see how Japanese works in novel form and see how many different intermediate-advanced Japanese learners might translate it differently. In this video, we have an even split: an intermediate Japanese learner (Me, circa 2000), an advanced Japanese learner, and a professional manga translator.This video’s translators: Greg and Laura E.The objective of this series is not to walk away with a finished translation of this novel. In actual fact, we're probably only going to get through the first several pages. The purpose of this series is: to teach Japanese grammar and vocab. Additionally, this series objective is to show how you can take your understanding of Japanese and turn it into a proper translation. To demonstrate this, I'll be comparing and contrasting translations of this novel that I did in the year 2000, when I was at the intermediate level and completely new to translating with translations from some of my patrons as well as my insights today as a professional translator with over 15 years' experience. I do not own the rights to Seiran Den and I did not get permission from the author, Nishizaki Megumi to translate it, so again, I would like to emphasize that the intention of this video series is NOT to produce a translation of this book, but to teach Japanese and to show how translation CAN be done. I won't be naming my patrons who have contributed their translations IN these videos, but I WILL credit them in the video description if they wish.Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/sarahktranslate Purchase my Japanese study materials!$15: all study guides (from either Genki I or Genki II)$30: all study guides (both Genki I and Genki II)$40: all worksheets, answer keys, and study guides (for Genki I)$50: everythingSend any of these dollar amounts to either:Paypal: paypal.me/PrettyTranslator Or Kofi://ko-fi.com/sarahmoon (files can be purchased directly here)Or you can email me at sarahktranslate@yahoo.com.upliftsquire.ArtStation.comBuy Genki 2 here: amzn.to/3nxEnGy (affiliate link - if you can avoid using Amazon, please do.)

To demonstrate this, I'll be comparing and contrasting translations of this novel that I did in the year 2000, when I was at the intermediate level and completely new to translating with translations from some of my patrons as well as my insights today as a professional translator with over 15 years' experience. I do not own the rights to Seiran Den and I did not get permission from the author, Nishizaki Megumi to translate it, so again, I would like to emphasize that the intention of this video series is NOT to produce a translation of this book, but to teach Japanese and to show how translation CAN be done. I won't be naming my patrons who have contributed their translations IN these videos, but I WILL credit them in the video description if they wish.Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/sarahktranslate Purchase my Japanese study materials!$15: all study guides (from either Genki I or Genki II)$30: all study guides (both Genki I and Genki II)$40: all worksheets, answer keys, and study guides (for Genki I)$50: everythingSend any of these dollar amounts to either:Paypal: paypal.me/PrettyTranslator Or Kofi://ko-fi.com/sarahmoon (files can be purchased directly here)Or you can email me at sarahktranslate@yahoo.com.upliftsquire.ArtStation.comBuy Genki 2 here: amzn.to/3nxEnGy (affiliate link - if you can avoid using Amazon, please do.)
