Alice9 Channel - 5th Album Special [2012-02-23] Subtitled

GENERAL NOTES:

There are several instances where what the members say aren’t subbed. They could be the same thing another member said, or they couldn’t be ‘caught’ so they were left untranslated.

For those who are familiar with Japanese, everything is translated in context so don’t be surprised if you heard a sentence but that sentence is only equal to a few words.

The timing for the members’ comments isn’t perfect. It’s hard to sync the Japanese and translated comments together. No worries, you’ll still understand them. \(^o^)/

The comments are also colour-coded. Shou, Hiroto, Tora, Saga, Nao

The Alice9Channel comments appear like this:



Hiroto’s comment comes first, followed by Saga’s then Tora’s. The first comment, Hiroto’s, goes up and up as Saga’s and Tora’s appear. Buuuut…

The subtitles appear like this:

The translations appear as Hiroto’s below the screen, and then Saga’s and Tora’s appear above Hiroto’s. That’s the way the subtitling program works.

There are instances when members type comments during talk time. You will see them like this:
" 

              The ‘talk’ translations are adjusted to appear above the comments to avoid further confusion. (Because even I would get confused if I hadn’t made the adjustments.) (╯_╰)

There will be the occasional side comments. ╮(─▽─)╭

TRANSLATION NOTES: [These will either appear above the screen or immediately after the member’s comment/talk. Some of them are just summaries. The full notes pokkori-a9 kindly made are below.]

Tehepero [てへぺろ] &  Agepoyo [あげぽよ] - These are listed as 2011's top 10 most trendy cell phone words used by female high schoolers ...link http://blog.livedoor.jp/hisabisaniwarota/archives/52132472.html

Tehepero is used when you thoughtlessly did something wrong and you try to act cute about it, sticking out your tongue, etc. The emoticon for it would be like (·ω<)

Agepoyo is a gal-word used when your tension is high. The 'age' part means getting high;‘poyo’ is added just because it sounds cute. 

Soushoku-kei [草食系男子] - Soushoku means herbivorous. But when used to categorize men, it is referring to one who is gentle, quiet and sensitive, and may have some feminine characteristics.

The opposite of Soushoku-kei is Nikushoku-kei [肉食系男子], where nikushoku means carnivorous. But of course that just refers to guys who are more aggressive in love, sex,etc., or more masculine. Soushoku-kei guys are simply the opposite. There are no real negative connotations to either, these are just categories. 

Pocky Day - 11th November. Reason they call this day Pocky Day is because 11/11 looks like Pocky sticks..... 

Neko no Hi [猫の日] – 22nd Feburary. Because it's 2/22 or 22/2. In Japanese, 2 is pronounced as 'ni' and for some reason, people think this sounds like nyan (...?) and nyan is the sound of a cat meowing and so Cat Day, Neko no Hi was born... 

Guilty Crown - recent anime 

Sailor Moon - Mamo is the guy with the hat 

Moshing - A style of dance that is mostly associated with rock/'aggressive' music genres. Happens sometimes/often at rock concerts. A dancing style closely associated with heavy/rock music. When people mosh they often knock into other people and move their head in time to the music. A group of people all moshing is called a mosh pit.

Goukon - Goukon generally means group dating. Though in the contemporary sense, it can also be a gathering to meet new people. 

Takenoko Nyokki - It's a goukon game. You can try 'playing' it here: http://www.p-goukon.com/honban/game2.html 

Gyuutan game - Another goukon game. Gyuutan actually refers to ox-tongue, a specialty of Sendai. The game starts with someone saying ‘gyuu’. The next person is supposed to clap his/her hands at the 'tan' part. The 'tan' part is not supposed to be verbalized. So the whole cycle is like: 1st round --> gyuu tan gyuu tan gyuu tan tan. 2nd round, (the number of tans at the end increase --> gyuu tan gyuu tan gyuu tan tan tan. And so on. Of course, at the tan part, they only clap their hands and not say it out. Whoever loses the most has to do a punishment game. 

Yamanote-sen game - This is a train-line in Tokyo. Another goukon/drinking game. This site: http://gaijintonic.com/2009/01/03/japanese-drinking-games-no5-the-yamanote-sen-game/ provides a lot of information. Basically, players name any stations they can think of on the Yamanote line as people clap in rhythm. If one hesitates or repeats a name, they have to drink/do a punishment game. 

Magical Banana – A word association game. The first person starts by saying something like “If you say banana, I think yellow.” The next person says, “If you say yellow, I think sun”. Then the next person, “If you think sun, I think solar system” and so on. However, one cannot say “If you say banana, I think yellow” or “If you say yellow, I think banana.”

Afro Tanaka - recent movie released in Feb 18 2012.
