    Just wondering if there would be anyone making a english fan lyrics of songs with me?
    I tried making some of my own and all the credit of the english translations of the lyrics
    goes to studio48 they have very good english lyrics but it doesn't make any sense to me
    so I used the english lyrics and rewrite them so it make sense but still all the credit goes to studio48.

    Also I'm in the middle of translating the date scenes to english from the ak48 psp games
    and some of those date scenes are hard for me to translate. So I was wondering if there will be anyone
    in helping me with the translation of the game and it'll be great if we can do a english dub of the game as
    well after the date scene has been completed.

    What do you mean when you say it doesn't make any sense to you? Are you suggesting the translations aren't natural? Can you give some examples?

    They aren't natural if you try singing them out loud but somehow the english lyrics
    does make sense to me.

    Oh so you're trying to sing them along with the melody? That's going to be really difficult.

    People are usually only translating the meaning of the lyrics, not trying to make them fit the arrangement.

    It's not that difficult once you have memorize the tune of the song before you try to
    sing-along with the lyrics. I have written quite a few of the english fan lyrics myself [blush]
