Subtitles: Kaito Royale Episode 4

Welcome (back) to Kaito Royale!

Episode 4 really manages to bring up even more mysteries--if that was possible! Or, episode 4 if you have the version without the longer introduction.

Please don't encode or stream our subs! We just might send Sister Snake after you. However, feel free to link people back here to get the subs. You may post the download link on your own page, but please use our file (no reupload), and credit us ("Mou Ichido" and a link).

Also, be sure to check out our new Sales page to see if there's anything of interest!

And, if you want to make sure you won't have Sister Snake shooting you down in the middle of a fortune telling session, follow MICHIDO with an Email Subscription, on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube!

Without further ado...let's go steal some files. ;)

Hi everyone!

My goodness, it's been a while since our last update.

Before we get to the video though, we wanted to put up a magazine order offer.

Why order from MICHIDO?

Because:

1. Price: Our base price for each RR41 is ￥1400. Shipping fees will vary based on your location and what kind of shipping you want (please email for more information). We accept Paypal, but please be aware that there is a 3.9%+￥40 charge that will be added onto the ￥1400.

More details about RR41.

Basically, if we have positive feedback for this, you readers will be able to read more material and variety in the future ^^

Anyways, onto the featured media!

It's your favorite HollyHock Radio! This one doesn't involve so much laughter, but it definitely has Aoi musing to himself about yukata and his cute little male fantasies about girls and their outfits.



Hope you enjoyed that! Sakai seems so timid while Aoi sounded like he was in his yukata-filled world. At some point, it even sounded like a yukata fetish........

At any rate, if you loved listening to Aoi drift off about his clothing fantasies, then follow MICHIDO with an Email Subscription on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube!

Subtitles: Kaito Royale Episode 3

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your patience! We've all been caught up with real life (yes, we have lives outside of this blog), which is why the posts have been difficult to get together.

But Kyuupa was persistent and patient, and she got the subs for Kaito Royale up for you all.

Find the episode with the special intro here and check back later for the subtitles without the special intro.

There's nothing particular to note here, so enjoy the episode!

Enjoy watching kickass nuns? Then you really ought to follow MICHIDO with an Email Subscription. If you prefer finding out why they all lost their memories, then follow our Facebook, Twitter and YouTube!

Subtitles: Kaito Royale Episode 2

Long time no see! Apologies for the long wait--Episode 2 of Kaito Royale is finally here! A very special thank-you to timer Miyavi for helping us out~

The only firm rule we have is that you do not stream our subs. Please honor our only request. Uploading them to streaming sites make other people money with the ads on their page while the people who put in the time to sub dramas, us included, make no profit, ever.

Last, but not least, if you want to link or upload our sub file elsewhere, make sure to credit and link back! And, if you want to translate to another language, please let us know first. :)

So without further ado, if you are willing to agree to our requests, then access the subs here. For those with the version of the episode with the introduction at the beginning, click here for subs that fit the timing. As like last time, here are a couple notes regarding what when on in the drama.

Mobage
A social networking app that you can play games in. Previously only in Japan, you can now get Mobage games as they expand to the US!

Helene Kingdom
Doesn’t exist. Could be in reference to Greece, but the way that it is referred to in the drama does not directly indicate this. Though, Nemesis is, after all, a Grecian goddess (of revenge, btw).

MI6
The near equivalent to the CIA for the United States, it’s a British intelligence service. Its internal counterpart is the MI5, which can be compared to the FBI, responsible for internal affairs. From what I know, MI6 has no connection to creating actual security systems like it is in the drama.

Fermat’s Last Theorem and Wiles
A math theorem stating that if there no three positive integers a, b, and c, can satisfy the equation aⁿ + bⁿ = cⁿ where n is greater than 2. The Wiki article gets really confusing as it was probably written by a math guy for math people, but in case you’re a math person and are interested, you can learn more about it here.

The problem that they mention in the drama though, is that they were having trouble proving it true by proving its opposite false.

That's it for the notes in Episode 2. I've already started part of Episode 3, so hopefully I'll be seeing you all again soon! If you missed out on the notes from Episode 1, you can find them right here.

If you like goddesses of revenge, then don't forget to get a MICHIDO Email Subscription!

If you love some really good-looking thieves, then you should give us a follow on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr!

Subtitles: Kaito Royale Episode 1

Remember what I said about some dramatic news?!

Well, it's here!

MICHIDO officially has a new coolie team member! She'll be referred to as Qappa and will be helping us with projects here and there. Her first project is the first episode of the new drama, Kaito Royale.

At any rate, you can find the subtitles to episode 1 of Kaito Royale here. We won't be providing the video file, but we're sure you'll be able to find it somewhere~ VLC Media Player will be able to handle this file automatically as long as it and the video file are in the same place on your computer and have the same name. :) Before you run off and enjoy yourself, keep in mind two things:

1. DON'T upload these onto streaming sites (ex. YouTube, DramaCrazy, MySoju, etc.) or profit off of them.
2. Read the notes below! They're important~

This is your chance to get smarter while you watch dramas! 8D Here're some more details about things mentioned in the drama:


“The Tear of Alexander” Cocktail (00:34)
While rather amusing to see in the drama, this “cocktail” is most likely a diluted red cabbage juice pH indicator. It can be made at home, and is really quite interesting if various liquids are tested. In the case of the cocktail turning green, it is because a liquid base (pH 8-14) was added. Though in the drama it looks to be a lemon or other garnish of some sort, it was most likely window cleaner, or another household base. If an acid is added to the pH indicator, it’ll turn bright pink! Don’t try this at home, however, if you intend to drink your concoction.






“Cursed” gem (1:22)
Though The Tear of Alexander doesn’t exist, and therefore doesn’t go around offing people, there’s the Hope Diamond, which is often claimed to be cursed, as all of its wearers or owners are brought tragedy and misfortune.











Caligula Effect (04:17)
What Rei refers to as the Caligula Effect is actually just reverse psychology. Reverse psychology is exactly what Rei states, but there is much more to it than is revealed. (It’s super interesting, so read more about it here). The real definition of the Caligula Effect is the phenomena where, in the simplest of terms, powerful men compulsively cheat (on their woman/women). Caligula (otherwise also known as Gaius) was a politically powerful Roman emperor who constantly sought to increase imperial power, and is infamously referred to by the few surviving sources as having an insatiable sexual appetite. There’s absolutely no connection between the Caligula Effect and what it’s said to mean in the drama. Don’t be fooled!


Hausmann (11:11)
Full name Johann Friedrich Ludwig Hausmann, a German mineralogist. The nice chap who wrote the screenplay for this episode clearly just needed the name of a real (and old, preferably dead) mineralogist. Hausmann didn’t actually say the line he is quoted to say in the drama.

Videos: HollyHock Radio 08.22.2009

Hi everyone!! Guess what we've got!


Yes...that's right...a....

VIDEO!!!

When was the last time we had one of these??

January 31, 2011, to be exact.

Yeah, it's been a long time....

But this time, the ones to take the spotlight will be the GazettE's Aoi & Ruki.

It's pretty interesting because Aoi talks about when he practically got caught with his pants down by his MOM. And to make things better, his little partner was apparently also excited due to a certain porn magazine he had laying around....and we also find out about Ruki being a deviant since childhood.

These men really knew how to rock (and as a special aside, did you know that 'rock and roll' was a euphemistic phrase for having sex in the southern United States back in the day?) then and now....

Anyways, on to the video! I'm sure you all can't wait! We couldn't wait to share it either ((o(´∀｀)o))ﾜｸﾜｸ Don't forget to leave us a comment! Maybe even venture an imagined scenario about when the other band members got caught with their pants down??? hehehe!

Don't forget to watch in HD!



Cannot believe Ruki was already curious about his SM play even as a CHILD. No wonder he was so popular with the girls. People must be really attracted to that dangerous sadistic flair of his...

Well, if you like Ruki with his SM streak (which clearly had a lot of time to mature over the years...) then don't forget to subscribe to the MICHIDO blog via Email or Friend Connect.

If you like seeing Aoi get caught with his pants down, then don't forget to follow the Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr.

Videos: Golden Bomber - Gachapin Challenge☆Series Pt. II

We changed the blog layout again! Please do play around with it (^^♪
Also, thank you to everyone who tweeted/FBed/commented to us about our first Follow Friday! We were even graced with a thank you from the lovely AZU herself!

We were a bit doubtful that it'd get off the ground, but it actually seems that some of you do enjoy it. Remember to continue letting us know what you think on Twitter/FB/email/the blog! It really helps us heaps! For those of you who did comment, thank you so much! We probably replied you, so please make sure to check the post~!

Well, finally, onto the subbed video!

Did my first ever sub! Sorry for the tiny subs, I'll work on getting those fixed next time! It was my first time ever doing anything with Aegis... ;;;

A golden star for those who managed to guess what this WIP was~







I think after I did this, my Golden Bomber fan-ness shot up a bajillion points.

I've actually done this experiment before for a class, and this video isn't exaggerating. It's actually pretty dangerous, so seriously, don't do this at home while aiming the coke bottle at your mouth. You can easily lose a tooth. If you REALLY want to do it, go do it outside over a drain and make sure you get out of the way. Don't even do it in your kitchen, because it creates a f**king mess. I would know. I had to clean up a classroom after everybody Ooohed, Ahhhed and left.

For reference, Gachapin and Mucc are characters from a children's show in Japan.
