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. And, here we go... Uruha as the one who...

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...
