It's been a while since I had my last real holiday. Amazing enough I consider a holiday at my grandparents place in the alps as the ultimate holiday. It's beautiful here. We're smack-dap in the middle of the woods with another two houses in the clearing. Round us there's lots of wood and grassy streches. A few feet from here is a small trickling stream which how longer you follow it the bigger it gets.
Spring's finally here. Everything is green. You can even see how the trees around us grow.
The first day was pretty uneventful. We didn't do a lot because I came in late. Just a late dinner and a little TV watching with my grandparents. After that I went to bed and read a little (as you can see in my previous post I was really tired).
Catch you all later!

Short Notice...
On a Short Notice I just want to tell everybody that I'll be away starting from Saturday until probably late next week. I'll be online through my Iphone and post something from time to time, but won't be here for long posts.
I'm going on a short Translation & Typesetting Holiday. Whazzat? Well, basically I'm packing a few things, take my notebook with me and my External HD with all the typesetting stuff on it and seclude myself to a place with no internet. Why? To get some stuff done, of course!!!

Melon 3rd stage
It's time for the 3rd Melon Kinenbi video in our release special. Again, I'm very sorry that we took so long but now the 3 PV’s we had planned are out and one more to go! But due to that video not being timed yet it's going to take a while for us to finish it. So be patient!
Since our Melon Special is now "over", temporarily until I get timings for the other vid, I'll concentrate on some of the older releases we have stacked up. I think I'm going to work on some Buono! Vids next. We’re missing the latest two!
I'll keep you all updated.
As for now - here's a thumbnail of the new release. Its Melon Kinenbi’s very first single! It was released back in 2000 and I still love this vid very much. It’s funny and a very good example of the video quality back at the beginning of the century was. It’s funny how the quality has changed over the past 10 years.
Well then, ‘nough said. Hope you enjoy the release!
As always the releases are available through the Hello!Online Tracker... Have fun!!!

Melon 2nd Stage
Finally! We’re finished with this song and going in the second round of our Melon Kinenbi release special (I think SC will release it either when he come back from his classes or before he goes to bed). I’m sorry I took so long but I’m again craving my WoW addiction excessively and trying to get rid of it again… it doesn’t really work though. I’m still going to try to get these pending releases out as soon as humanly or at least Tomo- possible.
This is our second release of this group special and we’re probably going to put out another 2 within the next few weeks. We’re actually planning to do their 1st and 11th releases too. But that’s another story.
This release is actually the one I already wrote about – the one with the big file size. After watching our QC version we decided to skip the huge-ass pixilation effect and go with something a little smaller and better fitting. In the end it turned out just as we had first planned and I’m very pleased with the finished result. I’m just sad that I had to skip on the pixilation effect, but if truth be told it didn’t look very fitting, so I’m a lot happier now.
I hope you guys will like how it turned out too.
This is actually one of my favorite song – but I think I already told you that…

MELON's NOT DEAD
Yesterday was the day that Melon Kinenbi, one of my favourite groups from Hello!Project, had their last concert. They decided to go their seperate ways after 10 years of making music together.
I'm honestly very sad but also very proud of the girls. They were the only group that had no additional members since they started the band and they kept a semi steady release stream which was also nice. They also had a very mature sound to them.
If asked what song I loved the most it would definitly be "It's unmei" (It's fate) a very awesome single from the early stages of their career. I think it was actually their 4th or 5th single - it's the 4th, back from 2001, I looked it up!
Another song I pretty much adore and is still one of the greatest concert songs every is "saa! koibito ni narou" which is also their 5th single (again, looked it up).
Well, to comemorate their disbandment and last concert H!F decided to do a few of their songs as well as Utaban releases. I saw that SC already released all the Utaban songs and also the one PV that we had ready for the release "Namida no Taiyou" - again a very good song, also a very sparkly one.
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to finish the other two songs we had planned for this day but due to me having exams last week and then I had to get some stuff at home done I wasn't able to push them out earlier. I'm going to work on those now and with luck one might come out later today and the other somewhen tomorrow.
Again, my apologies, but, haha, noone knew of those songs, so you guys can't be mad at me ;)

Fansubber 101
Haha, I just had a funny episode with one of our new trainees. We were trying to work out where the kinks in his latest QC where and what we wanted him to change. As we had some communication troubles due to both of us not using the same program and both of us not being native English speakers we went back and mailed us pictures, which we colored in different colors and tried to communicate the meaning of what we changed.
Now, if you actually read our dialogues that accompanied more than 15 pictures you'd laugh your ass off, but then, I'm not posting that.
So this was the pic I got from him with his latest changes for coloring, fonts and effects.
If you've got some experience with typesetting, styles and effects you'll see a few different things that didn't quite work out for this effect.
The standard settings for this effect are: x scale 100, y scale 148, border 1.5, font size 26, blur0, be0.
the things that really didn't work and had to go were the shrinking fscy scale at the beginning of the highlight transformation (he had a \fscy120 somewhere in there) as well as the blur1 that came out of nowhere (we didn’t have be or blur in the fade-in) and the border 3 (our styling had a border 1.5 outline). We also had a few color changes as his red was way too bright and actually pixilated in the QC encode.
So how do you tell someone that he needs to have the same setting both at the beginning and at the end of the highlight layer so that if you watch it as a whole it has a flowing kind of animation. Our way were colorful pictures … So if push comes to shove a correct looking script of mine is getting mauled at with neon colors and circles. ARGH! Would you know what I was trying to get across?
Thanks for putting up with me kitto ;-)

exams over
well done!!!!! to myself.
I had 2 exams today and I think I passed them both. yay for me!!
I was pretty unsure whether I would be able to pass the Laws of
Communication exam with all its politics and law paragraphs this
afternoon but was pretty sure I would pass this mornings
Wirkungsforschung exam- sorry, the English term is beyond me. I'll
look it up when I'm home.
Funny thing though - laws went a lot better :/
I hope I passed them both!!!
Add: Ooooh, just found out that there is no fancy word for Wirkungsforschung in English, but what it's basically about is a Marketing Effectiveness Research. Hope that'll do.
Back to work now!
And dang, it's so hot. The summer is going to be scorching if it's already this hot at the end of April

Yes, I'm working on a few new project right now, though this time they're anime songs.

Full Metal Alchemist - Brotherhood OP5 (up on mediafire)
Nana TV OP3 (done, coming soon)
Suzuka OP + ED1 (finishing, coming soon)
Sketchbook EP4 insert + OP2 + ED2
Daicon AMV
Ranma ½ TV Season 6 OP+ED (coming soon)
I still have some Bleach stuff flying around -.- but it's pretty old already... *sigh* and I don’t want to retime it……….
Today got an e-mail from amrayu from SARS. I’m contracted for a movie karaoke until next week.
Well then, see ya!
Oh, btw, this is going to be the next PV song I'm doing... Guess what it is!

leckaaaaaa - yummy
Wow! Today I was trying out a new receipt I invented myself... well, at least mostly. I had read about a similiar receipt years ago and today I thought I'd do it again.
It's basically a salty pancake and as a stuffing a mix of onions, red pepper and ground meat. I cooked it up with spices and made a bouillon-y sauce. Yummy!!
I'll get myself another serving... laters~

Outbreak! err... Break out!
While I'm enjoying this release in the background right now, I'm writing up this post.
Once again I want to thank everyone for their consideration and great words. I know some will never understand and others do (and yes, that was meant to be cryptic).
Since we decided to keep on working here's our next release. It was actually supposed to come out together with the releases from April 12th, but due to me being away on personal business I wasn't able to finish it in time.
So I decided to give it top priority and push it out as soon as I was back working.
So here it is now....
Morning Musume - 3, 2, 1 BREAKIN' OUT is the official theme song for last years Anime Expo 2009 in Los Angeles. If anyone wants to see more footage of their first and to date only concert in America, please check out H!Fs Morning Musume's America's First Landing Live (FC DVD 2010.01.26) Release.
We hope you'll love it as much as we do!
Have a nice evening, folks!

Chums!
If you can guess from which video it is you know what's going to be released somewhen within the next few hours ;) Just a little hint - it's the very end of a pretty awesome song by a group with more than 6 members. HAHA!
I do hope you'll enjoy and I'll get back to you and write a real post after I woke up. SC probably has already released it by then too.

Confirmation!
As probably a few of you guys already know
*faint cheers from the outside*
I hope this is great news to everyone that didn't already know about it.
We decided due to the huge amount of people responding and telling us that they don't want us to give up, to just release at our own leisure. We'll take our time and probably come up with a few special occations to drop a few videos on you.
This also means I'm going to post about releases again soon!
Look forward to it!
Hello!Fansubs is not going to disband

Happy Easter!
Did the Easter Bunny already run through your yard?! I hope so.
Did he leave anything behind for you?! You betcha.
Well, mine didn't but that's because I don't have a yard and I wasn't particularly good this year. HEHE!
Anyways. Hope you guys enjoyed a very well deserved holiday as I did and I'll see you again after the holidays!
On a side note. I won't be home come weekend so don't expect any lenghtly posts ;) though I might post some pictured of the birthday party I'm attending ;).
My granny told me they had snow this easter again :( poor them.
