[YKT]

Wow!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much TD!!!!!!!!!!! 

Wish this was my phone.  Such a big screen.  Must be the latest android phone and 4G too!   I'm stuck* with an iPhone 4 with a smallish screen and 3G.

*upside: think Mayu still uses a white iPhone 4.  She purchased it just before the iPhone 4S came out.  Was discussing with someone that she should've waited as the 4S is much faster.

A translation by janchebell@tumblr again of this article by Ota-suke : http://www.ota-suke.jp/news/106341

Mamoru Miyano, Mayuyu, Funasshi in “Percy Jackson” stage greeting

Translation of this article from Ota-suke

Actually I was not very sure for some lines when I was translating the video yesterday, but luckily Coa san provided the link to this detailed article, so I did a better translation for this event.
(I think I’m not going to translate any more about this event… I typed so many nasshi— XDD well unless there are interesting parts I missed~)

Here goes the very long translation:

The stage greeting of Hollywood movie “Percy Jackson : Sea of Monsters” which is now in the cinema since 1st November, was held at TOHO Theaters Scalaza on 3rd November . Voice actors for Japanese dub, Mamoru Miyano san (Percy), Mayu Watanabe san (Annabeth) and Funasshi, the first yuruchara that challenged dubbing for movie, have appeared on the stage.

(Paragraph 2,3,4 were not translated since paragraph 2 is a brief introduction of movie background, and 3&4 are the summary of the article.)

Please greet the audience who have come to the theater.

Mamo: I’m deeply moved that the movie is watched by many audience. Did you enjoy it? (Audience: Great applause) Making so many of you feeling moved, knowing this makes me also feel very happy.

Mayuyu: I can see all of your smiles, so I think you have enjoyed the movie.

Funasshi: “Funasshin” (Funa God) nasshi— Today the movie is watched by many audience, I feel very happy nasshi—na.

Getting the whole Japan into the world of Greek legend, welcoming the big hit of opening, standing in front of a full house of audiece, what do you think now?

Mayuyu: I feel very happy. Though it’s the first time I dubbed for a movie, I have spent my full effort to finish this job. I’m very happy that this will be seen by many people.

Mamo: I performed with a thought that I hope I’ll be a help in terms of voice.  I’m very happy to greet in front of all of you, it is a special thing to me. It made me feel so much when I think of I may have contributed to liven up this movie. It is powered up comparing to the previous work, the power of video was great, wasn’t it? (Audience: Great applause) What do you feel about 3D? That impending feeling. You have dodged it without thinking, right? Since it is a movie that you can enjoy it like enjoying attraction, I think you can also enjoy the powered up part.

Funasshi: I’m happy nasshi—　Everyone does “Hyahha—” nasshi—! (Audience: Hyahha—), Hyahha—! (Audience: Hyahha—)

Mamo: Oh it’s call & response. Can I do that too? Hyahha—! (Audience: Hyahha—) Hyahha—! (Audience: Hyahha—)・・・It’s so fun! Give a feeling of live.

Funasshi: Mayuyu also tries it nasshi—!

Mayuyu: Can I? Hyahha—! (Audience: Hyahha—) Hyahha—! (Audience: Hyahha—)・・・It’s great! Really liven up the atmosphere.

Miyano san voiced for Percy in succession of the previous work. Could you please tell us the differences between this movie and the last one?
Mamo: Since the story started with Percy recognizing he is a Half God, he must face his destiny related to Half God. Percy may have some pitiable parts and seems he may lose against destiny, but I think this time it is a story that shows his bravery and his growth while facing his destiny.

Watanabe Mayu and Funasshi is the first time dubbing for a movie, were there any hard points?
Mayuyu: Though I’ve experienced voicing for anime, voicing for movie is a completely different thing. Since it is needed to match every breath in the video, itt was quite hard for me. But I think I have tried my best!

Mamo: Isn’t it a great job (she has done)? This is surely difficult. I also can’t do it at first.

Funasshi: It’s my first time since I was born as a pear nasshi— It’s difficult as expected nasshi—na. When listening to the English lines, I need to say the lines at the right timing and for the right length, I’ve worked very hard nasshi— An then, as a behind the secne story, it seemed that some related persons thought the blue snake was George nasshi— The scripts were all the part of the blue snake, when Funasshi was listening to the English, Funasshi thought it sounded somehow different, and thought maybe Funasshi was wrong, but it’s true that it’s not the right script. It’s the bad habit of Japanese nasshi—na. Thinking red is the female. George is the red snake nasshi—

Mamo: Funasshi was also great. At first I know nothing about Funasshi, “nasshi—” was added to the dubbing from time to time, right? There was no “nasshi—” written in the script.

Funasshi: Actually there was no plan of adding it nasshi— But when I came to the actual recording, they told me “It’s better to add nasshi—” nasshi— It was a nice discussion nasshi— I felt very happy nasshi—

Mamo: But you can also speak without nasshi—, right?

Funasshi: Of course. Don’t mess about nasshi— Character setting will go blurred nasshi—

By the way, there is a present from “Funasshin” to Miyano san who voiced Percy and Watanabe san who voiced Annabeth.
Funasshi: I entered at 6 in the morning and made it nasshi— Added lots of pear juice nasshi— Juicy nasshi—

Mamo: (Found that the costume of “Funasshin” was fixed on the body by safety pins) This dress was fixed by safety pins, wasn’t it?

Funasshi: (The pins) They can’t be seen, so don’t mention them nasshi— You can’t do that nasshi— It’s body pierce nasshi—


―Appearance of Sea of Monsters Cake―

Funasshi: The cake was based on the image of Sea of Monsters, I spent 2 hours to make it nasshi—

Mamo: That’s great!

Mayuyu: There is Funasshi. It’s being swallowed by the Sea of Monsters!

Lastly, please say a word to everyone.
Funasshi: It’s a story that lots of Greek monsters appear nasshi—na. In ancient times, Greek people looked at the constellations and thought of such stories, to let children listen to stories of fantasy or fairyland nasshi—na. I think fantasy is necessary to heal the tiredness of daily life nasshi— Therefore (the stories) come over thousand years of time nasshi—na. I would like you to watch it with your family nasshi—

Mayuyu: I’m really thankful that I was able to take part in this wonderful work. I feel really happy that the movie is watched by many people. Please suggest this movie to your friends and family, I will be happy if you enjoy the movie for twice, thrice or even more times.

Mamo: It’s a happiness that the movie is watched by many people. The bond between comrades, also the bond between siblings and family, I think the movie showed various bond and various love. Therefore, like what “Funasshin” has said, please watch it with your family, watch it with friends and important persons. Then, I think you can receive precious thoughts from this movie.

*Nasshi = Nashi (pear) Nasshi / nasshi—na are Funasshi’s unique speaking style

*some brackets are added by me to better express the meaning

*and thank you for reading (*^^*)

YKT! OH MY HEART!  you simply don't post this at this hour! I JUST HAD A SEIZURE!  I don't like it! I LOVE IT!!! 

[imteedee]

So here I am, I feel like expressing my thoughts..

I was actually talking with a friend here, a fellow Mayuyu-oshi goes by the name creamcracker, one thing we like about Mayuyu is like what other people are very much familiar with, her overwhelming cuteness almost in everything she does... and YET SO GLAMOROUS when doing High-fashion photoshoots.

Take a look at this ( I don't bother posting anymore photos since I actually bombarded this page with her oshiri earlier  )

VS. VS.

Like do I have to pinpoint the PROS and CONS (if ever she does have any (?) Any other idol would probably have strong points like in every other category (yeah, Mayu likes categorizing stuff that much as well) but Mayu, I was nearly flipping myself before realizing she's as strong as in every category we might think of (well except for sports  that I can't defend her  )

To sum it up, what we meant is that her features are DISTRACTINGLY FLEXIBLE 

Prepare for another wave of photos 

[Jul3]

OMGASS imteedee! What a fantASStic Mayubutt oshiri collection!

Bookmarked! That goes into my hall of fame of Mayu(butt) posts...
