The second film of the double-feature project, Doukyusei, which goes with our previous movie release Taiikukan Baby, is complete at last! Yay! This film stars Nakamura Yuichi from D-Boys. The setting, characters, and cast are the same as in Taiikukan Baby.  But unlike it's partner film, Doukyusei is a "typical" romance story.  In other words, it's a different path the story could have gone.  We invite you to check it out! ^_^

We are currently in the process of uploading the file, and should be done before the end of the day.  Be on the look out for the links HERE.

Enjoy!

Update: All MegaUpload, MediaFire, and SendSpace Links are now UP!

Written By: Kanome Keiko & Fukagawa Yoshihiro

Cast: Nakamura Yuichi, Kiritani Mirei, Kubo Sho, Takahashi Yuta, Sakuraba Nanami, Watanabe Ikkei...

Story: During the summer high school swimming trials, senior ace swimmer Shibahara Jun (Nakamura Yuichi) comes up short. Jun's father (Watanabe Ikkei), who also happens to be the swimming team coach, says that rather than swim, concentrate on studying for his college entrance exams instead. Depressed and uncertain, he is suddenly contacted via cellphone email by a mysterious girl who is also named Jun and has the same birthday as him. From that day on, they decide to become email friends. As Jun struggles to get back on his feet, he finds himself often expressing everything he’s thinking and feeling, all of his frustrations and worries, to “Jun” on his cellphone. Gradually, Jun realizes that he has fallen in love with a girl he has never actually talked to or seen...

Happy 12th Anniversary KinKi Kids!
Thank you so much for all of your hard work and passion which has touched the hearts of so many fans over the years.
We wish you nothing but good fortune and only pray you continue ^_^.
 

...Right.  I could go into painful detail about exactly why we have been unable to update at all for over half a year.  How the world has practically blown up under both of our feet and all manner of bad luck has been following us everywhere we go...  Which never ceases to amaze us, actually, as it appears we're in sync or something since it always seems we're experiencing misfortune at approximately the same time. 

But in the end, it doesn't really matter, because an excuse is still an excuse.  All we can say is we can't begin to express how very sorry we are, as we know how much people are looking forward to updates and that we cannot promise it won't happen again (because it seems every time we do it does).  We can only hope that people will continue to follow our releases and enjoy them ^_^.  As for Makoto no Himitsu, we are working on establishing a (more or less) regular updating schedule, which will consist primarily of scans and article translations.  As of right now, we have amassed a rather large collection of material which we are excited to start uploading/translating, so please look forward to that in the weeks to come.  Things have been held up a little bit, however, as [info]akaitsubasa has been away for most of the summer.

That's enough of that, though.  Especially on today of all days!  I for one cannot believe it's been so long...  And they never cease to amaze me.

To celebrate yet another year in their illustrious career, we are pleased to announce the release of Wakaba no Koro Episode 2, which can be found HERE.  SendSpace and MediaFire links will be up soon, I promise!

We hope you enjoy!

UPDATE: SendSpace and MediaFire links are now UP!

Happy 30th Birthday Koichi!
We wish you lots of happiness and good fortune.
Good luck on your future work, both solo and together with Tsuyoshi.

And what better way to start the new year than with an update? ^_^  To celebrate Koichi's birthday, we have, at last, Wakaba no Koro Episode 1 available for download! Links can be found HERE.

Also, [info]akaitsubasa 's livejournal is now open with a couple updates as well.  Mainly, high quality scans of the Endless Shock Memorial Calendar we purchased at the Endless Shock 2008 performance for you to download~! ^_^.  Get them HERE. In the future, AkaiTsubasa's LJ will be used to update with our non-video stuff, such as magazine and calendar scans, lyrics and their translations, etc.  You can visit the LJ through this one by clicking on the link above titled Makoto no Himitsu.

Enjoy!

And now for something kind of different...

This film is not related to our primary fandom, the KinKi Kids, but it stars Nakamura Yuichi from D-Boys, which happens to be our other main interest ^_^.  We are still working on our other projects, Ginrou Kaiki Files and Wakaba no Koro, but our releases of these will be interspersed with releases of other sorts.  Even if you don't know/aren't interested in Channaka (Nakamura Yuichi), the films he's done (that we have seen) are pretty enjoyable and we encourage everyone to take a look at them as we release them ^_^.

The first film we have successfully fansubbed is Taiikukan Baby, a "boys love" film.  You can find more info and the download links HERE.

Also, thank you SO much everyone for your feedback on our Ginrou Kaiki File Case 1 release, we are taking all of your comments and suggestions into account so that our next release will be better than the last!

Update: MegaUpload, Sendspace, and MediaFire links for Taiikukan Baby are all up!

Hello Everyone!

We were wondering if you could submit your response to this poll if and when you have viewed our subtitled release of Ginrou Kaiki Case File 1. We experimented with color-coding the dialogue in this release, and would like feedback from our watchers about whether or not we should continue to do this for future Ginrou releases.

Your response will be greatly appreciated!


Poll #1302934 Ginrou Kaiki File Dialogue
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 38

Do you like the color-coded dialogue?

View Answers

Yes, it helps me figure out who's talking.
19 (50.0%)

Yes, but I think some of the colors should be changed because it's a little confusing.
3 (7.9%)

Yes, but I think it should only be for main characters like Kosuke, Ginrou, Saeko, etc.
9 (23.7%)

No, I prefer it to be all the same font style and color.
7 (18.4%)

The DVD release of Endless Shock 2008 arrived at my house yesterday, and I finally got to watch it today ^_^.

I cannot express how complete it made me feel, getting to rewatch the very same musical that I was able to actually see in person.

And yes, we will be fansubbing it - but only after we work on our other projects.  It is different from the 2005 DVD release.

Ginrou Kaiki Case File 1's translation is almost complete!

At long last, an update.  Bokura no Yuuki Episodes 3-10.  MegaUpload links can all be found here.  This thus marks our SECOND complete project!  Yay!  It sure took us long enough -_-;  Once again, we apologize for the delay in updates on this site.  SendSpace and MediaFire will hopefully follow soon, but if people would like to help with the mirror download links, we will be definitely appreciative and give credit. 

You may notice in the recent releases that some typesettings have changed and the karaoke for the theme song in Bokura no Yuuki is missing.  Well, thanks to a massive disaster involving AkaiTsubasa's computer, we lost many of our scripts, and for some reason I can no longer locate some of our original font styles so I had to redo part of the typesetting for the episodes.  We hope the change isn't too distracting. 

In other news, Ginrou Kaiki Case File 1 is coming along, and work on Wakaba no Koro Episode 1 is getting back up to speed.  We're praying that nothing else goes wrong.

Seriously.  Anytime we say we're going to do something, practically everything in life that could possible get in our way of accomplishing said thing DOES get in our way.  If it's not computer problems, it's illness.  If it's not illness, it's family issues.  If it's not family issues, it's work and school.  *Sigh*

Both AkaiTsubasa and I apologize profusely for the complete lack of previously promised updates.  We are doing our best and working our hardest.  The biggest worry on both of our minds is disappointing everyone who has supported our work, and we're constantly striving to make sure that doesn't happen.

Yes, that's right.  We finished translating the whole series of Bokura no Yuuki.  Releases should follow shortly (just need to finish editing then encode them all and upload them), along with the release of the first case file of Ginrou Kaiki (meaning two episodes).  

Once Case File 1 of Ginrou Kaiki is released, and the Bokura no Yuuki is underway, we will swiftly resume work on Wakaba no Koro.

After much trial and tribulation (aka computer problems on AkaiTsubasa's part and a 4-week-long vacation to Korea and Japan on my part), we at long last have updated with Endless Shock Act 2!  Download it here. Currently only MegaUpload files are up, SendSpace and MediaFire will be sure to follow.  Thank you everyone so much for your patience.

With summer in full swing, we plan to pick up the pace big time to make up for all the waiting we put everyone through, so please look forward to it!

Congratulations Koichi for another successful year of Shock and coming out relatively unscathed (though I did hear he lost a significant amount of weight...)!

And to celebrate that, we are releasing the first act of the Endless Shock (the one on DVD, from 2005)!  Please have a look here and enjoy! 

Note: Currently only Sendspace and MediaFire links are up; MegaUpload is being a pain, so if I'm lucky I may be able to get them up later on today. 

Also, I'll apologize in advance for the file size, it was the best I could do without the video/audio quality being ridiculously crappy.  Hope you guys enjoy it nonetheless!

 Update: MegaUpload links are now up! Thanks for waiting!

Starring: Domoto Koichi
Also with: Imai Tsubasa, Akiyama Jun, Yara Tomoyuki, Machida Shingo, Yonehana Tsuyoshi, Kuroki Meisa, Ishikawa Naoki, M.A.D., and A.B.C.

Story: Koichi stars as himself (as do all of the other actors save the female lead) in a fictional story where Koichi and company are in New York, trying to make it onto Broadway.  In the small, old theater called "Off-Broadway" that Akiyama's father leaves him, Koichi puts on a unique show that finally catches the attention of the critics, who publish rave reviews in the New York Morning Times.  The road to "On-Broadway" has opened at last.

But just when it seems everyone's dreams are finally coming true, trouble arises.  Akiyama, Koichi's childhood friend, has mixed feelings, wanting to protect his father's theater.  Tsubasa, Koichi's passionate childhood rival who is in love with Rika, who only has eyes for Koichi, wishes to step out of Koichi's shadow.  And Koichi himself, who sees going to "On-Broadway" as not the culmination of all their efforts, but just another stepping stone in the journey.  As a result from the clashing of feelings and purposes, the heart of the company falls into chaos.

Regardless, the company moves to "On-Broadway."  But when things only go from bad to worse, Koichi and Tsubasa clash head-on, and impulsively, Tsubasa decides to test Koichi's famous creed: "Show must go on"...

Hello Everyone!  First of all, I want to apologize for not updating in a while.  For several weeks I've been putting life on hold, but everything finally caught up with me so I've been scrambling to get back on top of things.  For example, I stayed up till 6 in the morning yesterday cleaning my god forsaken pig sty of a room because I had just let things deteriorate for a month.  

Also, I was away on vacation for a week in Tokyo, Japan!  Not only was I in Japan, I got to see Koichi in Endless Shock LIVE!  If I could, I would have tried to go see the KinKi Kids' Winter Concert as well, but scheduling and money would not permit.  I'll just say this much: Seeing the show (ha ha, "Show must go on") live cannot be even compared to watching it on DVD.  Everything from the way the music sounds to how the dialogue impacts you is different.  If I have the time, and if people are interested, I can type a detailed report on the show, but for now, let's move on to the progress report to prove we haven't been slacking off here ^_^;
