Talk:Meni Shuki♡Rush-sshu!
the current english translation
just as a precaution i don't intend to be rude nor do i have anything against the person who edited the page to include the starts of an english translation, i am not trying to start any fights but
just FYI to anyone who might be reading this,
a lot of the EN translation added to the page here is wrong and very off the mark (sorry if my wording is blunt). "kyukkyun rattachura" does not mean "my heart is broken", it is a semi-nonsense scatting sound with "kyukkyun" being the onomatopeia of the singer's heart skipping a beat (or two). "rattachura" is just for the rhythm of the song. likewise, "tokun to" does not mean "where do you go?". it is another heart beating sound. as in "(my heart goes) ba-thump". i could break down the translation even more but i don't have time for that rn,,,
if it were me i would remove the current translation until a better one can be made but i don't want to be disrespectful to the person who might've very well tried their best to translate this song, or at least put it through a machine translator, so i'm not deleting it so that i don't step on any toes here.... that is why i started this discussion topic; i do not want to risk deleting someone's translation without permission but want to notify others that it is very off the mark and needs heavy revision.
i am confident to be able to say that i know a decently good amount of japanese and can probably make a decently accurate translation of this song (with some effort bc as shown above a lot of the onomatopeia/phrasing used in this song is really hard to translate to english and i'm a TL noob), but as i'm super busy in college (bc i have thesis stuff to do) there's no guarantee i can make the time to write one any time soon. hopefully i can at some point? i've really wanted to start making lyrics tls (and post them on my tl blog too) as of recently but alas...
so yeah. thanks for taking the time to read this (if anyone even looks at the discussion pages here) Oknz42000 (talk) 15:25, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
- Seconding the above statement. Translating songs is what I'm best at so if you work on your own MeniShuki TL I can try to help? Either way, I agree that the translation currently on the page could be significantly improved. Starocide (talk) 19:41, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
- Agreed. It doesn't look right at all so feel free to replace or remove it.
- Yeah this song is a lot of onomatopoeia... So if you want someone else to do it you can just remove it for now but if you wanna do it when you have more time that's fine too~ Mocagami (talk) 03:44, 24 September 2025 (UTC)
