New Year Special! Magazines: Rock and Read feat. Aoi from the GazettE

もう一度の皆様、 あけましておめでとうございます♪ (*´∀｀)o∠☆ﾟ+。*ﾟPAN!!★ﾟ+。*ﾟ やった、2011年が来たぜッ！ Dear everyone at Mou Ichido, Happy New Year! Finally year 2011 has arrived! Yay! Hope everyone's enjoying the festive season, good food, parties and all that good stuff! As a little something for everyone, I decided to translate the Rock & Read issue 04 featuring the great Aoi-sama (laughs). Um...I'm sorry was that too enthusiastic of me? Sorry-sorry ( ﾟ┌・・ ﾟ) It's an older interview and I originally started translating it last year but lost the motivation to finish it. I was cleaning out my files when found it, and I was really disgusted at how poorly I had translated...

Blogs: 12.13.2010 D=Out - Kouki

First things first, a BIG THANK YOU to our very first donor! She has requested to remain anonymous, but we at Mou Ichido would like to extend our utmost and sincere thanks. The fact that she was considerate enough to contribute to our cause really made our day, and she will forever be in our hearts as the first donor ever. I'll admit that I thought it was a joke when I got a message from クマ☆G that said we got some sort of a PayPal message, but now I'm really very convinced that it happened. To the person who contributed to us. You know who you are and we know who you are. Thank you. And thank you. And, Thank You. *** Enjoy! Original blog entry here. *** 2010-12-13 11:02:00 Love,Takada no Baba AREA☆【4390】 Morning！ I performed at the SPEED DISK event 「Year End Party」yesterda...

Plagiarizing

It's only been a few days since the NeoGenesis Interview was posted, and there are already instances of plagiarism popping up. We're hoping to stay positive about the whole affair and not point any fingers because it might have really just been an accident. To make this clear, this is what plagiarism means to us here. Plagiarism, for us, means that our content was taken by someone else, and the copier got the readership and visits, and we at Mou Ichido don't. The ladies at Monoxious sum this up quite well,  "We spent a good amount of effort and time making it and we would really appreciate that the entire tutorial [in our case, translation] isn’t copied and pasted on your blog even if you linked back cause no one’s gonna come to our blog if the information is duplicate. It is as good...

Magazines: NeoGenesis Vol. 50, the GazettE - Uruha

Hi everyone! Enjoy the interview! Expect the rest of the band members to be posted in the following weeks. Also, don't be a jerk and plagiarize. If you find someone doing so, please contact us. We'll keep the whole thing anonymous. To be honest, making this plagiarize proof just makes us not want to do things like these, and it really makes us have to think of dumb ways to make it harder for you to read. Interview was taken from magazine scans provided by rawkstarr23 at LiveJournal.com in the GazettE Daily Community. Header themes were made from screencaps from orishimeinoue posted at GazettE Media.

Giving Thanks and Treats

Here at MIchi, we've got lots to be thankful for. And, even though the kind-of international MIchi staff don't celebrate Thanksgivings at the same time, we try to keep these things in mind. Clearly, some of the first things that come to mind are family and friends. Obviously, without their support, Mou Ichido never would have been started. Without family, no one would have been able to give me the resources to learn and practice Japanese. And, frankly, without them, there is no way I would be here today to do this (in a very literal sense). Without friends, no one would have been able to give me the mental support to keep going (or restart, haha) when things got tough. Friends like クマ☆G and hakitarun (translator over at sixth_gun on Twitter) have been with MIchi from the project's inception,...

We're back!

We're back. Yes. We're back. Mou Ichido has a new ninja staff member, Kuma G (クマ☆Ｇ), who was bullied volunteered to help with the workload. Kuma☆G was the one who updated earlier this evening and will be the one who will be monitoring all mentions/emails and assisting occasionally in other translations, and therefore relieve me of all these duties, so please address and thank our new staff member accordingly if you message us. Please continue to support MIchi and send us your lovely comments, emails and so on. In regards to these past two months, I sincerely apologize for my absence. In order to try and prevent overworking the very small team, MIchi will implement new policies and changes. Twitter translations will be only between 9pm-12pm (21:00-0:00) Pacific Time. Translations will...

1000 followers?! Wut, seriously?!

Wow, everyone. We really got here! Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would ever get here a month ago, and it's really thanks to everyone here that I did (´゜ωÅ｀) When my follower count started to pick up and I began to get really wonderful thank you messages, I thought to myself that maybe I would start doing this full time. The problem with doing this full time, though, is that...I'd need a way to make sure I don't starve away in a room somewhere while doing it full time.... Which is why I'm openly asking for donations to fund this venture. Everything and anything helps! Please click on the "Donate here" tab to feed the semi-starving pig. ⇑ Meanwhile, take a look around and explore the blog a little! Since this just opened up, there isn't much here yet, but rest assured, there...
