Remember these guys? They were in Kimi ni Todoke and Tamayura. Pic I took from Zoujouji temple near Tokyo Tower.

Greetings from Japan! It’s me, yukachi!! For those who still care about us, no, I’m not returning yet. I just have a lot of free time right now so I figured I’d give an update on Mamiko’s status. I will return to fansubbing maybe around February 2012 for our 3rd year anniversary. Expect us to continue our unfinished projects like Tamachare and Kaibutsu Oujo OVA. Speaking of Tamachare… it’s not just 4 episodes. It’s 20+ episodes if my hunch is correct o_0 There are currently 18 episodes of Tamachare and I think the last 4 will be out on January.

We’ll do the last Kimi ni Todoke BD special while working on Tamachare. We still don’t have any raws for the last Kimi ni Todoke BD special so we can’t do anything about that. SHiN-gx will wait for me to translate Kaibutsu Oujo OVA 3 (I guess no one in SHiN-gx wants to translate that >.>) but it will take a back seat for Tamachare. We are done with the Mahou Sensei Negima series after our very slow stint with Mou Hitotsu no Sekai OVA so don’t expect us to sub the movie. I haven’t talked with my staff yet so I can’t confirm if we are going to sub the second drama CD of Tamayura. We’re going to sub the second drama CD of Tamayaru, not sure when but we’ll definitely do it…

As for radio shows, I bought the Iguchi Yuka no Moon DVD 1 and I’d like to sub that but we don’t have an encoder so until we get one it’ll be on hold. Also, we might sub one drama CD that you wouldn’t expect us to do

Well, I guess that’s it for the status updates. I’ll be back very soon and expect Mamiko to be active again after a couple of months of inactivity. Happy New Year!

By the time you are reading this post I’m already in Japan starting a new chapter in my life. It’s kinda sudden but I’ll be working there for an indefinite amount of time. This is a nice and rare opportunity for me so I’d like to concentrate on my job for a while. As this group’s leader and translator, I will be taking a break for god knows how long. Since the TL is the most important member of every fansub group and I’m the only TL… Mamiko will be taking a break.

When I do return, the group will take on a different direction. I don’t think we’ll ever do another TV series again. We’ll still do OVAs and drama CDs. But I’d like to focus more on drama CDs since we would like to use our efforts better and deliver Japanese media not everyone translates, to the fans. With that said, I’m hopeful that we will finally translate radio shows. I always wanted to translate them ever since I started this group. It’s the length and difficulty that’s keeping me away from them >.> Okay, so what radio shows can you expect from us? Anything related to Iguchi Yuka like Chou Raji Girls (Friday) or Iguchi Yuka no Moon or Tamayuradio or To Aru Radio no Index or even Asumi Kana’s Hoshizora Hinatabokko(only the episodes where she guests)

But what about the Kaibutsu Oujo OVA? Ah, yes. The third episode will be on sale in a couple of days. Well, I’ll leave that to SHiN-gx to decide whether they will wait for me to get back or just do it by their own I’d also like to announce we’ll do the Tamayura: hitotose drama CD once I get back. Oh yeah, we’ll release the remaining Tamachare episodes and (if there is a raw…) the third Kimi ni Todoke Mini Theater special too.

What else? Recruitment is closed until I return. It’s not like there are people applying anyway. Joints are out of the question unless you want us to do editing or QC only. If for some reason, you want to contact us, please go to our IRC channel and talk to one of the OPs. I think that’s all I wanted to say. Thanks for the support and see you peeps later.

Hello, it’s been a while since we released something. We’re not yet dead! D: So what is Tamachare? It’s short for Tamayura Challenge and this is a series of short videos featuring the voice actors of the 4 main characters of Tamayura. Each of them will try to do what their characters have done in the show like Taketatsu Ayana tries to take photos, Moko-tan tries to make potpourri, Iguchi Yuka tries to make sweets, etc. There are 4 episodes but the last one is not yet out. You might notice we skipped straight to episode 3. Because… I wuv Iguchi Yuka so her episode gets to be subbed first :3 The other episodes will follow

Anyway,  I’d like to announce that we are NOT going to sub the Tamayura anime. As much as we love this series, we can’t sub it due to various circumstances It pains me that we cannot completely sub the series even though we’ve subbed the OVA and drama CD. Don’t worry, there are some groups out there that will sub it and I think they will do a good job.  Also, we will sub the 2nd drama CD so all you peeps can get more Tamayura goodness

SHOOT! I can’t get enough of this song. It’s catchy. It has a spiffy PV. The lyrics are nice if a bit weird with some lines. And most important of all, Iguchi Yuka singing in her natural voice which is fantastic :3 I love it but I have two gripes with it. One, not enough Iguchi singing time which is understandable since the song is sung by the seiyuu unit/group RO-KYU-BU! And the second one is the rap part. I don’t like it. So when I heard there’s gonna be a Maho solo version of SHOOT! I was excited, I might actually get my ideal SHOOT!

When I heard Maho’s version of SHOOT! in niconico video for the first time I was happy and slightly disappointed at the same time. Welp, it’s Iguchi Yuka singing solo alright but the tune is jazz. Now, I don’t have anything against jazz and I think it actually fits with Maho’s character being rich and classy but I was expecting the same song with just Iguchi Yuka singing solo. Also, the rap part was sung in her anime voice. I mean, WTF? You’d think it was a duet with how different Iguchi’s natural and anime voice is >.>

And then just today I found the best version of SHOOT! A really awesome dude from niconico video decided to take Maho’s SHOOT! vocal and add it to the instrumental version of the original song. I don’t know how he did it but I’m really thankful someone did. Well, the rap part is still in anime voice but hey this is as close to perfection. Anyway, for those who want to listen to SHOOT! sung by the best singer of RO-KYU-BU! you can listen to it here.

New poll! Vote for your favorite character voiced by Iguchi Yuka. I didn’t include all of her characters since they’re too many Oh, yeah. The choices are: Konoe Subaru (Mayo Chiki), Misawa Maho (RO-KYU-BU), Index (Toaru Majutsu no Index), Okazaki Norie (Tamayura), Mizuno Kaede (Nyan Koi), Andou Aiko (True Tears), and Umenomori Chise (Mayoi Neko Overrun).

Well, here’s our final version of SHOOT! I hope you guys like it Turns out the lyrics we used before, is the official one. We changed the size of the font coz it seems like it’s a little too big. Changed a little bit of the translation so it’s easier to read. I was planning on adding a second subtitle track for joke subs but I’m too lazy to do it and some people might get offended with some of the jokes >.>

She really looks good in a uniform Something new from Mamiko! Yes, it’s the music video of SHOOT! I’m sure you’ve heard this a thousand times already but we subbed it because of Iguchi <3 She looks good, her dancing is not bad, and her singing is the best! Many people were quite surprised at how good her singing is. All the comments I’ve seen in niconico were nothing but praise for her singing. It’s so good to see other people recognize her talent. I hope she gets more (singing) jobs in the future :3 Okay, enough of my fanboy rant…

You may notice there’s a [Beta] tag in our release. It means this is not the final version and you can only get it on our website (unless of course someone uploads this on TT or Nyaa). Why beta version, you ask? It’s because the lyrics we used is from some Japanese lyrics site. We’re kinda unsure about the lyrics accuracy since there’s this line; “We’re unripe fighters. We won’t lose now.” which makes no bloody sense. How can they not lose if they are unripe(inexperienced) fighters? I mean WTF? o_0

Also, we used the best video we could possibly find on the internet. As some of you may know, we don’t have an encoder so we can’t rip the video from the DVD even though it’s available.

So yeah, until we get our hands on the jacket scan, enjoy the beta version

Please wait for a while, we  need to fix a couple of things and add some stuff

Surprise, surprise! It’s Snow White Ume and the Evil Queen Sawako :3 It’s been a while since we finished Season 1 and here we are subbing the season 2 DVD specials. Brings back the memories D: Anyway, the DVD specials are 2 really short episodes of the characters of Kimi ni Todoke parodying Cinderella and Snow White. It’s very very funny, we guarantee it!!

Special thanks to our comrade, SHiN from SHiN-gx fansubs for providing us the videos
