Archiving old talk page content
You can also write your own, but I prefer to just copy-paste it.
 * 1) Make a new page called Talk:USER NAME/Archive 1 (so in your case Talk:ElectricRaichu/Archive 1).
 * 2) Copy-paste this message on top of the new page: This is an archive of past discussions. Please do not edit the content of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on my current talk page.
 * 1) Cut and paste the content from your talk page that you want removed into the new page.
 * 2) Put a link to the archive page on top of your talk page. I personally use this layout: Past conversations: 1.
 * 3) Publish both pages

Translation Requests
Hi, sorry if this has been asked before but do you take translation requests? CandyCaneMoe (talk) 05:14, January 6, 2019 (UTC) Good to know you take translation requests, It would be nice if you translated the song キルミー.

Rikei Joshi wa Warawanai/Ningen Dokku feat. Kagamine Rin & Len
A translation has been added to the page. If there's time, check at least a sample and make sure it is good. This translation was hard and long, so I am a little insecure of it, unlike that with Static and Boku ga Namae o Yobu Hi.


 * I started having a look and revised the first few verses. I'm not confident, but I think the verse starting 君の気体検知機濡らして is making requests because the second line ends with 溶かせ which could be imperative. However, it could also be combinative form of the passive, and that would fit more comfortably with the last line of the verse which is why I'm not sure.
 * I think それなら今すぐ服を脱いでね refers to the boy's clothes because he's being put on the lab bench.
 * I'll try and do some more when I have the time. ElectricRaichu (talk) 02:50, January 9, 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the checking. Please make sure the translated title is correct too, because I was insecure if "笑わない" is interpreted there as "laugh" or "smile". RandomAir BGM (talk) 03:10, January 9, 2019 (UTC)
 * Pretty sure it should be "smile". The video shows her not smiling, not smiling but not laughing. - ElectricRaichu
 * Did you actually hear the song? Rin sung the verse, "それなら今すぐ服を脱いでね" .  Do you actually think she wants the boy to take her clothes off? RandomAir BGM (talk) 18:22, January 9, 2019 (UTC)

Really? I thought it was Len asking her to undress him ... Their voices have been so distorted they're barely distinguishable. Anyway, I'll go through and colour the parts now. If you don't mind, could you check I've got them right? ElectricRaichu (talk) 21:49, January 9, 2019 (UTC) Me too. Len's and Rin's voices were unusually different here then in other songs. But still, you did the coloring right. Do you have time to check the rest of this? And after them, you can finally conclude the correction for Static and Boku ga Namae o Yobu Hi. Soon, I will add a translation to the Watashi ga Koi o Shiru Hi, Terekakushi Shishunki and so there. RandomAir BGM (talk) 22:28, January 9, 2019 (UTC)


 * Sorry I got sidetracked with Anisong's requests because they were much easier to handle (the translations were already pretty good) and I didn't get to finish science girl today. I'll try to look at it again tomorrow. ElectricRaichu (talk) 08:33, January 10, 2019 (UTC)
 * Something's come up IRL so I might not have much time the next few days. ElectricRaichu (talk) 03:32, January 12, 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Raichu!
I've added new official English translations of my songs. Rainy did a quick check, but could you please as native speaker take a quick look too?

Shin'en no Hashi ni

Senmou

Asa ga Kuru mae ni

Thank you!!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Hi, thank you very much for your help! I made changes according to your remarks in Englishi translation. The only thing I cannot change now, is japanese lyrics in 朝が来る前に, because this song is already released..

verse 3 踊れている is potential and the -te iru form sounds a bit strange to me, but maybe it would mean "we get to dance" or something like that. verse 4 starting a line with が is irregular. Usually in lyrics particles are kept with what they apply to, even if the phrases of the melody suggest otherwise, but it's still understandable so it's up to you. 1) 踊れている - is my very huge mistake, that I didn't realize before.. There should be 踊っている. Maybe I can fix it later, by releasing a new "remastered" version of this song. 2) が　should be in the raw with 永遠の愛, but in this case the rhyme would be lost. I don't know if I could just skip this particle like japanese often skip in daily conversations.. But anyway I'll try to avoid such things in future songs.

Hey, who plays the elec. guitar in the song? all guitar parts and solos in my songs are played by me on live guitar. Bass, drums and piano are made with VST plugins in FL studio. Mixing and mastering are still on bad level, but I try to improve the quality with every new song^_^

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your help and advices!

New Page Request/Yappa Saikyou by HoneyWorks feat. Hatsune Miku & GUMI
Hey. Since Amandelen no longer takes page creation requests, could you please create a page for this new HoneyWorks song? If there's time, I'll plan a translation after I finish "Tomodachi Yori Daijina Hito". RandomAir BGM (talk) 18:26, January 18, 2019 (UTC)


 * Things have settled down a bit at home, except the heatwave is still ongoing, so I'll add it to my list of current requests, but it might take some time until I get to it. ElectricRaichu (talk) 01:02, January 19, 2019 (UTC)

New song, need your help
Hi, seems I need your help again. I've made English translation for my nes song Eimin no Sekai e Since I'm not a native English speaker, I would like to ask you to make a review, if you have some time. Thank you in advance!! Aniforce

I made some small amendments but mostly it's pretty good. There is a mistake in the Japanese, though. It should be 帰還不能限界点. Also, 最後 when referring to one's final moment can be written 最期. I would have used that in the last verse.

Thanks! You are very attentive as always ^_^ I made a mistake in 帰還不能限界点 while writing text in MS word.. And the worst thing is that I cannot change it now in video on YouTube. So I hope people will excuse me for that.. And I didn't know there are two ways of writing 最後 and 最期, thanks for the info:) I have N4 lvl and going to try N3 this year, so in my songs there are some words I used first time and didn't know them before, but writing songs helps me to learn new words^_^

TYDH Request Update + Ippun Ichibyou Kimi to Boku no/HoneyWorks meets Sphere
I finished the video of Tomodachi Yori Daijina Hito. AngelChu was right, the translation was pretty simple but still, if you don't mind, please give it a quick check. I took whole yesterday to do it, in Saturday, I was busy in real life, so I might have made mistakes.

This HoneyWorks song has nothing to do with Vocaloid, but I think it's immensely beautiful. I understand most of the lines in this song, but I am in hesitation with the "忘れない一分一秒君の言葉"  line, and am not sure if the translated version is either, "I won't forget a minute or second of your words", or "This minute and second that I won't forget, it's all your words". Which interpretation would you take? RandomAir BGM (talk) 23:38, January 21, 2019 (UTC)

Male/Female language question?
I know that the use of "Boku/ore/kimi" is for males and "atashi" is for females. But why is it that in some J-pop songs, I hear males using "atashi" and females using "boku/ore/kimi"? RandomAir BGM (talk) 23:32, January 28, 2019 (UTC)

白い雪のプリンセスは
I hope I am not in the way, but I had to reword some stuff and fix 1 mistake in the translation. Just in case you forgot, or didn't know, "二乗" means, "squared, to square (in power)". I've been learning Japanese math topics such as algebra & geometry about shapes, pythagereom theorem, etc.., for a while and found out about that recently. Double would mean either "ダブル" or "倍増". And also I had to re-word some stuff that didn't feel like the song was dramatic (because it is). You can see what I changed in the edits, and possibly you could understand why I changed it.

Hey,

This song has been in the WIP category for a long time because it's missing the translation of four sentences in total (two at the beginning and two at the end). Could you maybe add a translation for those sentences? If you don't want to, that's fine too. I hope you have a nice day =). Amandelen (talk) 09:20, February 14, 2019 (UTC)

Question about "Dasu, Dashite, Dashita"
I think "dasu" is a separate word because it's a particle put at the end of a verb, and it means, "to start (doing something)". Why do we have to merge it with other words in Romaji?

And also, when verbs take command form they use te, de, se, ke, and ze (male only). But doesn't it look wierd that -suru (to do) inflects to "shite" and turns into other weird forms like "shichatteru, shichau". Also isn't it wierd that "sagasu" (to search) inflects all the way from that to "sagashi". Plus, "watasu" (to hand over) turns into "watashi", (which can confuse other people with the pronoun version meaning "I"). Is there any answer or conclusion to this?

Damsukekun said it was 'neutral' though I'm sure some could be changed to be more accurate (more specifically "I won't let you speak kiss" stands out as "off"/incorrect to me :'D)

Well, Dame just said it's neutral because I mean, that's like the type of English he understands...lol no offense though. He even types "not a few", trying to mean "few". But it's forgivable, because English has to be your native language for perfect speaking (not even I speak it perfectly). Anyway, I made a translation for that song a long time ago, so I fixed it in accordance with my lines. Didn't add my credit though. I don't need any.

(ElectricRaichu) can you please check and finish the translation for the "Science Girl "? Or is it done already?

After that, can you check a non-Vocaloid song translation please?

Adminship (again)?
Hey,

I asked you about adminship a while ago, and was wondering if you're still interested in being an admin if we skipped the Request for Adminship process and I just made you an admin? That's largely how it works on Vocaloid Wiki as well, so I figured it should be all right to do so. Amandelen (talk) 10:08, March 2, 2019 (UTC)


 * I'm glad you're still interested! I'll make the announcement somewhere today. Amandelen (talk) 08:41, March 3, 2019 (UTC)


 * It seems all regular users are in favour of you becoming admin, so I've updated your user rights. If you need help with anything, feel free to ask me! I hope you have a nice day =). Amandelen (talk) 12:14, March 4, 2019 (UTC)

Hello again,

You're right about the main features. There's also the Admin Dashboard which has some handy links. I'll try to give you a quick rundown on how I do things like blocking/etc and I'll also give you some links for further reading if you're interested. I also want to mention that this is the way I do things and it works for me, but I in no way think this is always the best way to handle things.

Protecting pages
I personally only protect pages if they are vandalised frequently (i.e. more than once a month) or if an unrecommended translation keeps being added no matter how many times it's been removed. I'll usually do an infinite protection (as it can always be removed) and keep it open for regular users (so the block only affects anons and users who didn't register with their e-mail). To protect a page, you should hover over the arrow next to the edit button and click on "protect" in the drop-down menu. There's an article about protecting pages on the community central too.

Deleting pages
I personally don't really like deleting pages so I don't do it often. Normally, I'd only delete pages if they are covers that we don't allow on the wiki, if they're duplicated pages, or if the lyrics of the song can't be obtained anywhere (including the video). That being said, you might have noticed that recently a user keeps making new pages with almost no layout and no lyrics, and if I can't find the transcribed lyrics of the songs they add I delete the page too. I don't really like doing that since (as I mentioned) I don't like deleting pages, but they've been told multiple times that they should find the lyrics to the song first before making a page and they don't seem to listen. As such I don't really see any other option than just deleting it and hoping they'll get the hint that way. Another exception was the +IMPALE page, which I removed because an employee of fandom removed it over on Vocaloid Wiki. I thought it was kind of inevitable that they'd remove it here too. Deleting works in the same way as protecting, except that you should click on "delete" instead of protect. More info can be found here.

Blocking users
I usually only block users immediately if they're either said something really racist/sexist/homophobic/etc. or if they removed whole blocks of content from pages (such as this edit). Otherwise I tend to give users multiple warnings that their behaviour should stop, and if after three warnings they don't I'll block them. The length of the block is something I struggle with myself, but I usually try to keep it on the shorter side (i.e. two months max) unless they have been blocked before for similar reasons or they vandalised multiple pages. To block a user, you should go to their user page, click "Contributions" and click "Block" at the top of the page. More info can be found here.

Other features
The only other feature I use semi-frequently is the Announcements feature, which I use when I want to propose something (e.g. a layout change, a new admin) or when something other of relevance to the whole site happens (e.g. Niconico links not working properly and why). You can access it yourself by going to the admin dashboard, selecting the "general" tab (top right), and clicking on "Announcements" (second row, fifth icon). I then give it a short title and link to a forum thread about the topic.

That's about all there is to it I think. I hope this helps! Amandelen (talk) 09:47, March 6, 2019 (UTC)

Some Translation Help
Hey, it's been a while!

Some good news has hit me that I've passed the JLPT N2! Not the best score, but hey, I passed :D

I have a couple of questions about translating HEART by MermaidP. I have the tentative translation on my blog, but the main problems are here bolded:

考えたってつまんないの　くだらない

If I thought about it, it really is boring and trivial

There's a lot of this 考えたって in this song, and from looking it up, it seems to be a type of conditional used with どう考えたって but I'm not quite sure how to take the って in this case.

ココロから壊れてくとしたって　君のこと　忘れられないんだ

Even if my body and soul is breaking apart, I am unable to forget about you

This is another one I'm struggling with, and it comes down once again to this って, and some of it from the とした. From what I know, とする can be used in a variety of ways, indicating trying something after a volitional しようとする and to hypothisize or assume something 彼にとって正直が必要とする or something along the lines of something being decided, like 授業をサボる学生が多いから、毎日通わないなら居残りしなければなれないルールとする学校が普通. But I don't remember seeing a ～ていくとする before, and with the って along side it, I have no idea what it means. I don't know if the って is even a speech marker or a conditional at this point, or neither and something Mermaid P decided to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Request
https://vocaloidlyrics.fandom.com/wiki/Angry Do you think you could translate the JP section of this? (i think the composer used google translate to begin with, so it should be quick/fairly easy compared to someone who's first language is JP)

Kirara
子供と大人の間で / 忙しく変わる心を / 大丈夫だよきっと晴れるよ / この夏は特別なんだ

I'd translate this line as "In the space between children and adults, (our) hearts are busy changing. It's okay, it'll (this tough time) surely pass. (Afterall, without a doubt, ect.)This summer is special" The なんだ is used for emphasis to stress that this summer is exceptional and different from the others. The part about the space between children and adult could also be summarized as 'during puberty/adolescence' but that's less literal.

Sorry if this wasn't very helpful, but this is just my impression of this verse. Feel free to hit me up if you need anymore help :D

Damesuke said it was done by a native speaker but there's still some mistakes (or i suppose we could wait for Forgetful to do the translation as usual but I believe she's on hiatus)

That sockpuppeting account
Hey,

You've probably already noticed, but I've talked to Tokina about that socking account. I can't really go into details here for safety reasons, but I'll give you a quick overview on how we should proceed as you're an admin too. If you notice a sockpuppet springing up, block them for about a year and mention in the block summary that it's due to abusing multiple accounts. Do not leave messages on their talk page like you normally would, just block them. However, if I seem to still be online, let me handle it. It's probably better to just remove the pages that they make that haven't been cleaned up by now, too, and any images/videos they add. They might get aggressive in the future (not just on here, but on other accounts they might find, too), so be prepared for that. As you haven't talked to them a lot yet I hope they won't really see a reason to try and contact you, though. From what I've heard they aren't a physical threat, so don't worry about that too much.

Sorry for the sudden information dump orz. I don't want to worry/frighten you, so I hope I didn't do that. I just want to make sure that this situation won't go out of control.

Normally I wouldn't ask this, but please remove this message after you've read it. I don't want them finding out. If you want more information, we need to find a way to message in private, and I'd probably be better to do so on my talk page with a new message chain that is unrelated to this one.
