November Update

Told you I'd come back with another update! And since it's come so quick after the last one, there isn't much to add.

One major update which many of you are aware of is the Shining Live Card Spreadsheet that I've developed! I'm pretty active so I intend to keep it updated as cards are added.

The other major update I have is work related: I'm relocating to Japan sometime in March of next year! I'm excited to return to Japan and I hope to make the most of my time there as well as provide more reports, shopping services and translations!

Until then, I'll be very busy preparing to move and getting ready for my last few conventions in the United States. Here's what I have coming up:

• December 8-10: Anime USA (Proxy Online Shopping Panel on Saturday from noon to 1pm, and Itabag Workshop from 5-6pm)
• January 4-7: MAGfest
• February 16-18: Katsucon (Cosplay in Japan 101 panel on Friday from 2:00pm to 3:30pm, UtaPri cosplay and fan gathering TBD)

If you're attending any of these events then I'd love to meet you, especially since these will be the last before I go overseas!

September/October Roundup

Wow, where did the past two months go?? (Into Shining Live to be honest, haha) I've spent a lot of time with work as well as running the shopping services for recent UtaPri merchandise.

The Prince Cat Group Pre-Order, which just closed recently, was my most popular since 6th Stage! I guess many UtaPri fans are really crazy about cats! After a year of not wanting them, and then watching my friends get them, and then sort of wanting one, I've decided to adopt a cat myself. I'm not sure I understand the hype but if it makes UtaPri fans happy, then I'm for it.

Translations, as usual, have not really happened. I finally posted Magical Ichiko profiles and the summer Prince Cat story. I very recently had a conversation with a friend about fan translations, and my regular followers probably already know how I feel about doing work for "free" and why I ask for and highly appreciate donations.

With that said, I've decided that I will discontinue regular translation of the 5th Anniversary Book. That's not to say I'll never translate anything else from it, but I won't really focus on it. I will focus primarily on merchandise information, supplemental pieces (such as Prince Cat stories or character profiles from Drama CDs), and selected excerpts from the game that I happen to enjoy and would like to share.

With November already halfway over, I'll have another roundup post coming in just a few weeks!

Prince Cat Story: Sparkling Summer Beach

All of the translations linked here are my own work. Please DO NOT re-post or screenshot my work without permission.

During the summer, a new story for the Prince Cat series was published, coinciding with the release of costumes for the cats. You can learn more about Prince Cat on their webpage.

While it seems you can no longer view the story on the website, I've saved screenshots and did a translation, which you can read below.
