Rambling: Scanning Shops, Kagrra, and babel update

[amberssubs]

Right now I'm not sure I ever want to see my scanner again. I've just scanned over 130 Shops and still have 42 HSJ shops left to scan along with the Ueda Mousepeace postcards. I don't even want to think about the time it's going to take to post them. I also need to get some more photo albums, again. I have more JE photos than I do family photos at this point o_O I'm not sure if I'm going to order Nakamaru's White Shops or not. There is another preorder coming up July 18th but I'm really thinking about getting Kis-My-Ft2 and HSJ shops instead, or perhaps Koki or Kame's Ultimate Wheels shops. I usually don't buy Kame shops because everyone buys Kame shops and shares them in HQ but sometime I would like to have some physical shops and not just scans of him. Once I finish up scanning all the shops I just got I'm going to take a break on scanning. At some point I will probably scan the photo book that came with Versailles Holy Grail since it has some really gorgeous pictures in it, but I'm not right now...

I've also been busy subbing while scanning. Choshinsei and Versailles new PVs are done and being upload as I type along with Tackey and Tsubasa Jikan Ryokou. I was hoping to get D=Out's Psychedelico done but I've reach the end of my attention span for this week. So it will be the next thing I sub. There are so many things I want to sub right now :)

I also finally received my Kagrra concert dvd!!!!!! I've watched it twice now, I actually wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. There were alot of their older songs on it that I haven't listened to before. It also was filmed extremely well moving among the various members and thankful very few audience shots(my biggest pet peeve about Gackt Concert DVDs) I was also very surprised at the packaging with a hard chipboard case to hold the two dvd case and thick photobook. There wasn't alot of talking only a couple of time Issi talked briefly so I'll see if Tetris will translate those two parts. I don't have all the translations since I'm waiting on the Kagrra Indies cd to arrive to get the lyrics scans, and I'm also waiting on Meg-chan to finish up the Kagrra songs I asked her to do. I'm also a little concerned with Koi since Kiwi couldn't find the lyric to it online and that song was off Urei which is OOP. I'll have to look around for that cd, I guess. In any case it will be a while before I can get it subbed. There is over twenty songs on the dvd so even if I had all the translations right now it would still take me a while. But I am going to try to sub it. Kagrra is worth the time and effort I think. I'm not really sure what is going on with the dvd since it wasn't listed anywhere that I could find except CoolJapan and the PS FC. I know it was a LE but I don't know why it wasn't listed anywhere else. So I'm not sure about how I'm going to share it yet. Just the sub like Gackt or the raw as well...

I also posted the SMAP scantalation a couple of days ago.  I'm not sure if anyone is interested in it or not there hasn't been a lot of response about it but that is pretty normal for this journal.   I thought it was interesting enough although I'm not a huge SMAP fan.  Everyone in Babel is busy right now but I've been working away at two different projects.  I'm hoping to finish one up tomorrow at least, so hopefully it will be posted soon.  The subbing project I was working on for them last week has already been posted :)  Anyone that download my subs will notice the standard karaoke effect I use when I'm to lazy to be creative or can't find an effect to fit the PV I'm working on :D
