KungFuFurby's Translation Request Thread-Current Game: Tsuri Taro

[KungFuFurby]

To avoid flooding, I've decided to make a Translation Request Thread.

See third page for current request

The first game I'm bringing out is Sugoro Quest ++ Dicenics.

I'm curious about the various win conditions. Currently, I don't really have an idea. The Japanese text in white with blue outlines is not the one I'm looking for, but that could be helpful exactly what I'm trying to identify.



I am working on a SPC set for this game, which is why I came here. If someone from Aeon Genesis has already translated this screen, please let me know, because I know they're working on the game, since I'm curious what this stuff is. It's not offically announced on SNESMusic.org yet due to my cluelessness, but I have identified 16 tracks so far, with two of them not dumped yet. This is due to the fact that I missed it the first time, and I have yet to encounter them again.

If you want to know what I have for an SPC set so far, feel free to ask.

The outlined text: which rule(s) shall [we] play by?

- Do quest 6 times
- Do quest 12 times
- Play for 2 hours
- Play for 4 hours
- Until [someone :V] dies 10 times
- Collect 20000TK
- None

[KungFuFurby]

I see. Good thing I understand it, because otherwise I would have been clueless on the conditions. The only one I knew was probably quest-related after getting a congraulatory screen after someone cleared a quest I believe twice.

Curiosity # 2:

I have beaten the game Mystery Circle and the credits are in Japanese. My curiosity is this: who did what? I have the credits in order from top to bottom. All Japanese characters are vertical rather than horizontal.











The last one is the company logo.

[BRPXQZME]

These aren’t precise, just educated guesses. Very, very bad educated guesses. Such is the nature of Japanese names. 

Character Designers:
"秋山 知宏" Akiyama Tomohiro? Akiyama Kazuhiro?
"十代岡 惠美子" Jūdaioka Emiko? Mieko?
"松本 徒一郎"? Matsumoto Toichirō?
"東元 光児" Tōmoto Kōji. (still in the biz) 

Producer:
"大平輝雄" Oohira Teruo?

Development:
Wave Co., Ltd.

Probably doesn’t have what you wanna know, eh?

[KungFuFurby]

I used my handy dandy Kanji to Romanji website to try to clear some of that up.

So, you're saying that you translated the job parts, and you couldn't quite get the names? Oh well, we all have strong points and weak points.

For 秋山 知宏, I got your first guess.
For 十代岡 惠美子, I got something that was pronounced (according to the website) "juu dai oka emiko". That's probably Judaioka Emiko, or something else... thanks to spacing, I was able to at least guess the spacing.
For 松本 徒一郎, your guess fits the bill well for what I got using the website.
I guess you know the last one for the Character Designer. 

For 大平輝雄, I got your guess.

I see you know which company developed the game via the translation.

Well, no wonder why no composer was found for the game! None of these people sounded like composers at all.

If anyone has a more acccurate translation of the credits, I'd be glad to accept those.

[BRPXQZME]

The thing with Japanese names is that you don’t know how the name is read for sure, unless you know. Knowing the kanji won’t cut it; you have to know how the name is pronounced somehow to be sure. No computer program can be a substitute for that; it did the same thing as I, taking a stab at the highest probability.

(P.S. No such thing as Romanji! Boo hiss!)

[KungFuFurby]

OK...

Yeah, sometimes even the websites are wrong.

[KungFuFurby]

I'm here again for some translations for item names for Spark World.

Spark World:

Battle Mode - Select Stage (The only Japanese in there is what I'm looking for in terms of translation...)

[Ryusui]

Pistol, E-Ball, Multi and Dynamo.

Seriously, this is simple katakana. Even if you intend to leave the actual translation work to people who know what they're doing, you should at least learn the kana so you can do the little stuff yourself.

[KungFuFurby]

Better start learning Japanese then... probably starting with Katakana.

[KungFuFurby]

OK, I've been utilizing an online dictionary to get the job done. I've been able to find composers in credits, although my name idenitifying skills isn't quite up to date... I used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana for character identification and pronounciation (execpt for one character, probably), and I tried to idenitify the composer.

Well, the name don't sound right, that's for sure... oh well, you're never sure about some names.

I got Biito Maniakku for the composer that I was looking up in Bakuto Dochers... provided that I got the character idenitification correct.

サウンド (I identified this as sound, which is reasonable enough since I'm looking for composers.)
ビート マニアック (This is the part that I'm not so sure about. That's where I got Biito Maniakku.)

Compare this to the screenshot for credits:


Sound is on top.

[BRPXQZME]

ビート マニアック = Beat Maniac.

[KungFuFurby]

Oh! I didn't even notice the similarities there!

Well then, if the composer is Beat Maniac, then until the idenity can be unmasked, that's the composer.

[KungFuFurby]

I unmasked the idenity myself already. It was pretty simple: Beat Maniac sounded similar to the composer here: http://www7.tok2.com/home/bgr/sfc/msgdc/msgdc.html . Look under Takane Ohkubo's name: Beat Maniac Inc. is in there. The music sounded similar enough anyways...

Now here's a game that has some sort of divination in it... but my cluelessness on Japanese has hindered my progress as far as finding a staff roll. It's called The Shinri Game 3, which is actually The Psychological Game 3 when translated.

Although that's the good part, the hard part is finding the credits. My cluelessness in Japanese has definitely got me this time... and these two screenshots are the last ones I see each session. Then it goes back to the Title Screen.





I wonder what these say...
