Just to let you all know what I'm up to:

Hetalia Live is still being worked on (we're still going at it, believe me!) This project is now 10 months in the making! (6 . . . 8 . . . 10 . . . oh my god! I just now did some math and figured that out and surprised myself. That's why I never do math! ><)

The BLCD I'm currently working on is Nijuu Rasen 4 (and I plan to do 5 when it comes out) for Wilhelmina from Aarinfantasy for being so nice and sending me a message and saying she'd link me on HIBIKI and the like^^ It'll be out really soon, I hope.

Truthfully I was going to work on 3 Shake next because I saw someone on Aarinfantasy asking for it, but this girl here, shibird, beat me to it. Go throw her kisses and thanks if you were one of the ones who were waiting for this 3-some CD^^

I am open to suggestions for my next CD translation after Nijuu Rasen 4. Feel free to leave some

Good grief, I love this tumblr SO MUCH. Seiyuu+____. It's a seiyuu fan posting her endless supply of themed-seiyuu pics as often as she can. It's gorgeous. I've spent so much time just looking through it already - it was there I learned such important information as how much Kaji Yuuki likes to take pictures of himself, how much the charming-voiced OnoD is actually a dork, and that Nakamura Yuuichi is actually VERY, VERY HANDSOME. I'm still surprised every time I see that handsome bastard. I mean come on! Anyways, this tumblr is actually where I first found out about the Hetalia Maru Kaite Kanshasai event in the first place. It's thanks to her post on it that this is even happening! Thank you so much, Kat! I send you my love<33

Anyways, we ARE actually making headway on the Hetalia event. The script is done and it's currently being proofread. I have the DVD in hand, I just need to find out how to make it be on the computer . . . I'll get on it, seriously, I will! And the DVD came with this cute little booklet, with some brief little interviews with the characters and some info on their countries - I think I oughta scan/translate it too, and send it out with the video, it's that fun. The interview includes the questions "If you were stuck on a desert island and could only bring one thing, what would it be?" and "What do you want Santa to bring you for Christmas?" and other potentially funny-inducing prompts. The answers are mixed - some of the VAs took it really seriously and answered straight from their hearts, and some of them produced the same amount of jackassery in their answers as they operated on during the show itself. Good times.

Also, the second Hetalia event digest DVD is now up online on tudou here's the first part, the middle and the end. (I hope those links worked, my ability to navigate tudou is limited). Spain's VAs is in it, and he gets a reception it seems he was not anticipating, and there’s an appearance by the Nordic 5 cast, whom I know none of except Mizushima Takahiro. The show is okay, not as good, in my opinion, as the first one, mostly because everyone seems quite a bit less enthusiastic, with the exception of a few, namely the ladies. Kanada Aki-chan is ADORABLE, and did you know that Sealand is played by Orikasa Ai?!! She’s a veteran!! She’s one of the girls (with Minagawa Junko, and a few others) that was doing BL back in the days before it was called BL! I was SO impressed by that.

Besides the girls stealing the show (which is a pretty impressive feat when you're next to Masayan), the best part of the video is Takahashi Hiroki singing Japan’s character song “Osoreirimasu, Sumimasen”, which was adorably amazing. Hiroki seems like the most laid-back person . . . I wouldn't be surprised if his blood pressure is below the normal low. Nontan’s song as England was good too, but he’s still so nervous when he’s on stage . . . poor Nontan, I understand what it's like to get totally nervous and shaky on stage, even if you're really comfortable there. I'm like that too - I'm not afraid to talk/appear in front of huge groups of people, but when I get up there I start shivering and usually turn all red---it's so annoying, really! But anyways, it’s a fun video, check it out if you have the chance!

Anyways back to translating - hopefully I'll actually have something FINISHED to post here the next time I get on here.

I'll be linking my deviantart, aarinfantasy and fanfiction.net accounts here eventually, once I get those straightened out as well. Posts in my journal will often be xposted to aarinfantasy, where I'll be posting all of my drama CD translations and doujinshi scanlations.

Right now I'm working on the first Hetalia live stage event, Hetalia Maru Kaite Kanshasai, which we're currently in the process of subtitling. I'll be updating about it here as we progress! Thank you much to my team for helping out!

The CD translations I'm working on are:
Gokudo wa Suits series - hopefully all three, but the first one for now
Netsujou no Ori de Nemure - about 50% done.

I'll be uploading a few of my own doujinshi scans here, starting with Mandara by the circle The Dliffters. It's a Naruto doujinshi, SasuNaru, 18+, very strange, and as far as I can see, quite rare.
