I’m a JP to EN translator. I’ve self-studied JP for 12 years now, released my first official translation in 2023 and translated 14 light novels and 5 manga volumes since.

Was talking to a guy I met at the convention and he was telling me about how he’s a big Higurashi fan and I responded “I don’t know much about Higurashi but I know that cop has air conditioning in his car” and when I tell you this man absolutely lost it,

A Japanese man, possibly a newscaster, or someone else whose job it is to explain things to people, sits facing the viewer on the left of the image. He is shrugging to emphasize what's on the right of the image, a large television screen showing an early version of a shrugging emote. Below the emote, in Japanese, reads "hanashi ni naranai".

My dog’s been eating Kleenex recently and it must have wormed into my subconscious because I had a dream where I was eating a cheeseburger with one of my favorite drummers, and in the middle of the meal I started eating this huge wad of Kleenex lmao

Was not expecting a posthumous release of Inomata's final Tales art but here we are, weeping, I guess

"Finally, for the launch of this remaster, we asked Inomata-san and Fujishima-san to jointly create new illustrations of Milla and Jude."

"We would like to take this opportunity to express out gratitude to Inomata-san for her kindness during her lifetime."

Artwork of Milla and Jude for Tales of Xillia Remastered by Mutsumi Inomata and Kosuke Fujishima. Inomata passed away in 2024.

Translation tip: if you come across a long sentence and your brain just isn’t succeeding in rearranging it into proper English like it should, it’s okay to translate it in fragments at first. Then once you have a clearer picture of what it’s saying and how it fits into the narrative, rewrite it!
