Shinzanmono Ep10

I just released the subs for Shinzanmono.
You can find it here.

Enjoy. :)

Announcement of new project , Chase

hubby_b and I decided to take up another project, Chase.
It's a NHK drama about a tax bureau inspector.
The screenwriter is the same person who wrote my favorite drama,
Mother. (Sakamono Yuji)
The drama is staring Eguchi Yosuke, Arata, and Aso Kumiko.
Just like Fumo Chitai, we'll have to look up technical words (senmon yogo)
so we'll have to take our time to release the subs.
It is an interesting drama, so I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

Let me tell you the synopsis of the drama briefly.
Haruma (Eguchi) is a tax bureau inspector. One day, his wife goes on a trip and
dies in airplane accident. As he investigates his assigned tax evasion case, he finds out
the evaders (Arata, Aso Yumiko) were orchestrating the airplane accident for evasion purposes.

Pure Ep01

The subs for Pure Ep01 are released.
You can download it here.
I know old dramas alienate many people, but I recommend you give it a try.
This was my favorite drama when I was teen.

As I posted on D-addict, I was going to sub them on my own, but amrayu of SARS kindly
provided me the translations by NGN, so I decided to use it as base translation.
Big thanks to amrayu, and also to ZemusDS for uploading the raws. :)

Enjoy!

Update on Pure ep01

If nothing comes up, I should be able to upload Pure either tonight or
tomorrow night.
Hope you'll like it!

Mother final episode

I uploaded the subtitles for the final episode of Mother here.

I'm glad I got to sub such an amazing drama.
From actresses to directing, music, and cinematography,
this drama was just perfect.
I hope you feel the same way and enjoy the drama as much as I did. :)

Shinzanmono Ep09

The subtitle for Shinzanmono Ep09 is uploaded here.
Enjoy. :)

Update on the final episode of Mother and Shinzanmono ep09

The subs for the final episode of Mother are back from editing,
so I'll QC it tomorrow and release it.
I'll QC Shinzanmono ep09 today and upload them.

Update on Pure and Shinzanmono

Phoenix kindly agreed to step up to edit the remaining episodes of Shizanmono
so that chokubi can start editing Pure after he's done with the final episode of Mother.
She has worked with SARS and Haruspex, so I'm grateful that she offered us help. :)

I already translated the first episode of Pure.
I'm currently working on the final episode of Shinzanmono, and I'll work on the
second episode of Pure after that.

Pure

Thanks to Zemus's help, I found the raws for Pure,
so I'll be subbing it with help of chokubi and hubby_b.
I'll start translating after wrapping up Mother and Shinzanmono.
I recommend you to start downloading off D-addcit while there are many seeders.

Pure is a love story between a low IQ girl who is gifted in arts, and a journalist who is not
interested in people.
The cast are Wakui Emi (Fumo Chitai), Tsutsumi Shinichi (Galileo movie),
Takahashi Katsunori (Dosokai), Fubuki Jun (Sunao ni Narenakute), and Shinohara Ryoko (Tsukino Koibito).
It was aired on 1996, and the average rating was 23.5%, the highest rating was 25.9%.

Shinzanmono Ep07

The subs for Shinzanmono Ep07 are out at D-addict.

Looking for raws

I'm looking for the raws of "Pure" and "29-sai no Christmas."
They can be my future projects, so if any of you have
access to them, please let me know!

My recommendations on Japanese drama Part2

Aishiteiruto Ittekure (1995)
This drama was very popular back in days.
It's a love story between wanna-be-actress and a man with hearing impairment.
You can find DVD rip here.

Hakusen Nagashi (1996)
I watched it again and again when I was teenager.
You can find subbed version here.

Pure (1996)
Wakui Emi is just adorable in this drama.
It's a story about a very talented artist who has low IQ and a journalist who
falls for her.
This drama is deeper than typical love stories.
It shows how society treats this low IQ girl and how her mother tries to protect her
from people who try to exploit her.

Stalker-Nigekirenu Ai (1997)
Watabe Atsuro got a lot of attention because of this drama.
He's so good when he plays a creepy role.

Keizoku (1999)
This is also Watabe Atsuro drama.
If you like Trick or Jiko Keisatsu, you might like this.

Haru Ranman (2002)
The lead, Oshio Manabu got arrested for drug not long time ago, so
I don't think he'll ever come back as an actor.
It's not that excellent drama or anything, but it's fun and cute.
This drama is for girls, in my opinion.

Some of the dramas I mentioned here are not available for download.
If anybody who is interested in those drama subbed and happened to have
access to the raws (have to have decent quality), contact me.
I'm happy to give it a try to sub.
