Project announcement - New Drama CD Project "Warumono (warai) series" + Preview

On my Drama CD blog I am working on the Warumono (warai) series (わるもの（笑）シリーズ）, which I dubbed "Bad guys (lol) series", consisting of two CDs:
1) Wataru Seken wa Oni Darake　（渡る世間は鬼だらけ） released October 22, 2011
2) Ookami wa Tsurai yo 　（狼はつらいよ） released October 26, 2011

The series takes three well known stories with a common "bad guy" and retells the them in a completely different, and generally quite humorous, way.

The first CD tells three stories where the bad guy is an Oni, a Japanese Ogre like creature.
- Momotarou
- Issun Boushi
- Original story with hint to Kobutori Ojiisan

The voice actors for the this CD are:
- Fujiwara Keiji (藤原啓治)
- Okiayu Ryoutarou (置鮎龍太郎)
- Konishi Katsuyuki (小西克幸)
- Sakurai Takahiro (櫻井孝宏)


The second CD tells three stories about the big bad wolf.
- Little Red Riding Hood
- The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids
- The Three Little Pigs

The voice actors for the this CD are:
- Shimono Hiro (下野紘)
- Yoshino Hiroyuki (吉野裕行)
- Yasumoto Hiroki (安元洋貴)
- Yasumura Makoto (保村真)


You can buy the CDs here

I intend to have the first story of the first CD out on my Drama CD blog around the beginning of February. You can listen to / read a preview below the cut.


Of course, the Story of 365 Days project will still be updated daily.

明けましておめでとう～ + Project Announcement "Voice Calendar; Story of 365 Days"

A Happy New Year to one and all!

Over the past year, this blog has been receiving a few more hits. Thank you!
I'm still updating my LiveJournal, and I'm still in the process of moving the translations I am completely happy with to this blog.

Also, as a New Year's resolution, I decided to start a daily project. Don't worry, I'll keep translating lyrics when I feel like doing so or when someone requests them. I just want to introduce a little bit of Japanese culture as well.

So, what's this new project?


It's the translation of a drama CD series; "Voice Calendar, Story of 365 Days"

To keep things orderly, I opened up a new blog for Drama CD (track) translations only, and this is where these daily posts will go. Only the intorduction and Opening track will be presented here

On the Drama CD journal I will upload the mp3 belonging to the translation. It is only for sampling purposes and will be up for 30 days only, after which I'll take the link to the mp3 down.

I'll be translating a little more freely with this series than I normally do with lyrics. feedback will be much appreciated~
