dmxratedSomehow, that problem with the sound in Magic Engine FX seems to have solved itself, except for in the FMVs and on the title screen. I wrote the entire first scene of Makeruna! Makendou Z onto paper yesterday, but there are quite a few words that don't come up on a Japanese-English translation website. Mom took me to the library, and it turns out that they already have their own copy of that Japanese dictionary, along with a kanji dictionary. I was able to translate quite a few words with the Kanji dictionary, but there are still some words that don't appear in either book.
Before I went to bed, Mom told me that there are Japanese classes in Stonybrook University. I think that would help a lot. With the trouble I'm having translating Makeruna! Makendou Z, just think how hard it will be when I translate Getter Love!!, the Mon Colle Knights GBC game, and let's not forget, all the Mon Colle Knights DVDs.

Oh, and since Mom brought it up yesterday, here's a bonus: March 21, 1999 in Chronicles of 7th Grade. I'm sure Uncle Robby would enjoy it, now that he's reading my blog (or I hope he actually is anyway):
March 21, 1999
This morning, I got up early and played Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I left my game running when we left for Uncle Robby’s. On the way to Uncle Robby’s, Mom was listening to oldies, and there was this song called “You talk too much.” When we got to a rest area, I thought about that lip sync, and I thought that one of the teachers might sing that.
When we got to Uncle Robby’s, Mom picked up Adam. Grandpa Bob wasn’t here yet. I asked Brian to do Baby Bongos. He did, and Uncle Robby asked him what that was. Brian told him.
Soon, I brought all my stuffed animals out of the car, and Brian’s like “Look’s like Eric found his best friend.” Mom’s like “Don’t get embarrassed. You know he loves them.” Uncle Robby asked me what the squirrel’s name was. I told him his name’s Nuts. After a few minutes, we then went down to the lake to feed the ducks.
When we came back, I wandered outside and thought about that game. In New York City the second time around, Janus had lost her baby and her six kittens, and you have to find them. One of them is in someone’s house, one of them is in the sewer, one of them is the prize for a snowboarding race, one of them is in another person’s house who gives it to you, one of them is in Ms. Kenzig’s car (Ms. Kenzig has been killed, and you find her keys from her), and the other two are somewhere else.
When I came back inside, I slept on the couch for a long time. Brian, Marie, and Grandpa Bob went outside to play baseball, but I just kept sleeping. Tonight, we were having beef casserole, but I don’t like beef casserole, so I just skipped dinner tonight. When Mom asked me to do something, I didn’t wanna get up, but she’s like “You’re the one who had a nap all day.” I pretended my stuffed animals would do it. I also pretended a spray can would do it, and I threw it to the fridge, and Mom got mad at me. Mom asked me to get something from the car, and I threw Trikle down the stairs to get it, and then I sent Duckbutt to get him, and I’m like “Duckbutt, go get him,” and then I sent Seaweed, and then Nuts, and then Mole, and then I would pretend to go tobogganing, and I’m like “I’m going tobogganing.”
Grandpa Bob and Uncle Robby were watching TV, and there was this commercial for a car, and it was racing with a dragon, and the speaker’s like “Ford. It knows good, it knows evil.” I might use the dragon as one of Raethine’s underlings, called Raethlings, in my game.
When I came back up, Marie asked Grandpa “What’s upstairs?” He told her there are dragons upstairs. Me and Marie went upstairs, and when we came back down, I’m like “I’m going tobogganing.” (i.e. sliding down the stairs on my legs)
When we got in the suburban, my white blanket felt nice and cool, and I tried to touch it as little as possible. On the way home, Mom stopped at the gas station, and the gas dealer was speaking Pakistinian.
We got home really fricken late tonight. I turned off my game, and I’m like “This game’s crappy.” Brian’s like “I know you are.”
I know. There are a whole bunch of things that you'd need to read earlier entries of the document in order to understand, so let me explain them:
Baby Bongos: an immitation of the Toads from the limbo game from Mario Party. I make the high-pitched "hwaaah" sound that actually is in the game, and then Brian (cutely) says "Ba-by bon-goes ba-by bon-goes" in time to his hands hitting the pretend bongoes.
Trikle, Duckbutt, etc.:Duckbutt was that yellow duck that I mentioned in the entry "What 7th Grade-related item did I come across yesterday," Trikle was a teddy bear that I had since I was a baby, Nuts was a beanie baby squirrel (and it was his actual name), Seaweed was a stuffed otter that was originally Marie's (which she got from school), and Mole is actually a stuffed hedgehog that Grandma Ella gave me when I was in 4th Grade.
About the game I've referred to in the entry: This game was something I thought up. The story is that a vampire named Raethine has taken away Nintendo 64 from everyone, and it's up to Brian, five other then-5th graders, six then-6th-graders, and six then-7th graders that I've known to defeat Raethine and get it back. Most of the game consists of a bunch of random locales where the objective is to collect five Jinjos (from Banjo-Kazooie), a Pikachu, and a cubic N symbol.
Janus and Mrs. Kenzig: Until one point during that year, Janus Papa (paa-puh) worked at the Longwood Middle School, sometimes substituting Ms. Bandows as my one-on-one. She later got a different job at some preschool, where she took care of "ten 2-year-olds" (her words). Ms. Kenzig sometimes substituted for Ms. Bandows as well, but I never knew what else she did.
And unfortunately, I was unable to find the Ford commercial on YouTube, although I do remember that the whole thing was animated.
