Kadaveri Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Anyone who's seen Stardom's streaming service knows they have English subtitles for the talking segments, which really helps following the stories for those of us who don't speak Japanese. I've had this idea of asking someone to translate promos from famous matches and saving them somewhere, like I've always wondered what Misawa is saying in the post-RWTL interview that gets such a big response from the crowd, or what exactly is being said in the Queendom tag post-match. 1. Has this already been done, does anyone know? 2. Does anyone know an English/Japanese speaker who might do it? What fees they'd want? 3. If anyone else is interested I was thinking people could contribute to a paypal account or something, and then could vote on what they'd like to see a translation of. Thoughts?

Loss Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I like this idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pterois Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Do you think Ohtani's jacket could be able to translate ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadaveri Posted April 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Thanks OJ. I've actually found a friend-of-a-friend who said he'd have a go, although he knows nothing about wrestling. I'll make a subtitle video if that goes anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkdoc Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Someone i know has looked into this some, though he’s busier now so not sure about this. He’s mentioned that from his research Rusher Kimura was one of the only JP wrestlers he found a promo compilation for. Also recall people on here mentioning Takada as an all-time great promo and Kobashi as a terrible one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadaveri Posted July 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 So I got round to seeing that guy and making some subtitles for 1993-94 Joshi.

SPS Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 That was great, thanks for the update. I watched the whole thing and really enjoyed it. Thought the Aja reference to serving Hakuto the final drink of water before her death was pretty badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiraffejustin Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 I'll probably watch this later, but I just wanted to stop by and say how awesome it is that was even done. Kudos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
