rei sakuma does not deserve a happy birthday because his japanese is impossible to understand and makes things difficult for everyone.
it took me an entire month to understand what the voiceline he has before the live starts was. why? (because im terrible at japanese but also..) ARCHAIC PRONUNCIATION HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW.
ok basically the engstars translation of
"夜闇の魔物が深い闇の世界へと誘おうぞ" (voiceline before start of live) is "the demons in the dark will lure into the abysmal darkness".
yes... the front part is still decipherable: "夜闇" being the dead darkness which the "魔物", meaning demons, reside in.
"深い闇の世界へと" is normal japanese so okay.
but it's the last part?! "誘おうぞ"?????
what was he saying? the demons of the dark do what now???
well,, haha,, i am by no means qualified to teach japanese so as always, we ask jisho.org!!!
this might be completely off point but i just wanted to ramble about japanese:
the typical reading of the verb "to lure" 誘う = さそう (sasou)
after listening to the voiceline too many times ;-;; i figure rei says something like いざなう? but have no idea what that means.. so i key it into jisho and get only さそう as a result. (jisho is smart and i am not.) it takes me a while to guess that いざなう might be an archaic pronunciation of the verb
and it is!! except that's not the full explanation.
according to this user on chiebukuro, いざなう is usually used when the person invited doesn't know where they are being invited to!! so theres that nuance of suspense
i also read somewhere that いざなう leans towards a more spiritual invitation! so theres that.
tdlr; rei is just being overly dramatic. do you think that sometimes adonis doesnt get what he is saying
