Video is up at NicoNico of this mornings broadcast - you can switch off the comments by clicking on the chick in the corner of the player.

I think I need to take a translators course ^^; Did the best I could considering the late notice. Was a relaxed atmosphere anyway which made things easier. On air time was about 40 mins - time flies when you are having loads of fun. Was an awesome evening - had a ton o laughs.

If I finish work early then will be going out with Billy and folks from Nico tonight for din dins.
Coverage of the action at the GSC offices to be uploaded later.

    I think most of the problems at the beginning, regarding your translation, is that you let him talk too much before translating. I used to go to a church where they had the Chinese pastor preach and a live translator, so I've heard enough to know that's the usual problem. :P

    The person talking has to know to not talk too long, and the translator has to be unafraid to cut in if he does. xP It's sort of difficult for you, though, because there's so many people speaking Japanese and you can't translate everything for him.

    The measuring part is just so funny~XD

    I have to give props to the GSC and MF staffs for talking so long, around 6hrs for the live show, after a tiring and exciting event ^^

    haha - watching you translate reminded me of myself

    i once had to translate spoken cantonese into english for a friend
    We were in HK and my relatives were asking him questions like, what he does for a living, how did he find HK, what kind of life plans he had, hobbies, etc

    Yeah, i hate buffering long sentences - tend to loose the 1st idea by the time they're halfway through their sentence

    oh yeah, Billy is HUGE!
