Raindrops

I'm trying out this Tumblr thing! Everything on this blog comes from my main website. Content unrelated to Sengoku BASARA occasionally goes on my lame personal blog. I'm sorry that I can't follow back!

[raindropsanddaydreams]

Do you have the link to the sengoku basara discord? I had a look at your page and wasn't able to join from the link! Would really love it to be a part of it and talk with SB fans from the west too

I’m afraid that I don’t use Discord but hopefully someone else can hook you up? It looks as though there are a few Discord servers linked from Reddit which might be the one you’re seeking!

New characters have been added to the Basara family! Kato Kiyomasa (cv: Eguchi Takuya) and Komatsu-hime (cv: Akenaya Himika)

They also released a commemorative logo and an illustration made by Makoto Tsuchibayashi, for the coming 15th anniversary of the game.

北米版の

ちょっと気になったSWORD SUMMITの聞き取り間違いからきているであろう翻訳ミスを指摘してみます。

北米版BDは歌詞の英訳と日本語歌詞のローマ字表記を1話ごとに、交互に字幕で表示しています。

そこでのローマ字表記が一部間違っていたんですね。

そのため聞き取り間違いが分かったのです。

ただ私は英語初心者なのでこの指摘があっているかは不明。

もっと正しい直し方があれば教えてください。

あと単に英語ではどのように訳されているのかメモしておきたいので、特に問題なさそうな部分も載せています。

The blades of all the dreams rising up in chaos howl to one another

The azure crescent moon ascends 

The wind dons crimson

A flower straddling fate brings them together

→「運命を待たぬ」を「運命を跨ぐ」と聞き間違えているようです。

正しくはA flower not waiting fate brings them together

The afterglow of truth brandished at the eleventh hour

→ここは「残光」ではなく「残響」です！

The reverberation of truth brandished at the eleventh hour

Can only dream of the apex of a fleeting era 

No do-overs, called to the moment 

The pulse that scents the summer aches

→「熱を喰うココロ」を「夏を嗅ぐ鼓動」と聞き間違えているようです。

The heart that eats the heat achesになるのかな？

Shot down, taking the pleasure as is

→「挑まれて」を「射止められて」と聞き間違えているようです。

Be challenged, taking the pleasure as is

Tail spinning into the abyss

Lured and enticed, like a dance

→「踊る闇」を「踊るように」と聞き間違えているようです。

Lured and enticed, dancing darkness

The blades of all the dreams rising up now in chaos howl to one another

The azure crescent moon ascends

The wind dons crimson

A flower straddling fate brings them together

→ A flower not waiting fate brings them together

The afterglow of fervor that sparks haphazardly

Only reflects the flash of the fading era

→「煌めき」を「閃き」と聞き間違えているようです。

Only reflects the gleam of the fading era

Follow me!

とりあえずこんな感じ？

[raindropsanddaydreams]

Very interesting! There are several mistakes in the NA Sengoku BASARA home video translation for SWORD SUMMIT.

As a native speaker I would adjust some lines further (but this is just my opinion):

→ A flower not waiting for fate brings them together

→ The heart that consumes the fever aches

(Or maybe devours... it's a very passionate song!)

→ Taking the challenge for the thrill it is

Thank you for the interesting post m(__)m

Sengoku BASARA Secret Santa 2018

Hey, guys! Nexu101 here! I know it’s a bit last-minute, but I was hoping we could do another Secret Santa event this year!! 

Here is the link to our Google Doc!

The guidelines are simple: each participant will be matched to another participant through a random number generator. Once you place your information in the table below, I will message you the name/URL of the person you have been assigned to. You will be able to find information about this person’s OCs and preferred canon characters in their table entry and create a gift for them to be shared on December 25th. Remember, it’s a secret, so don’t reveal your identity to the person until Christmas Day! If you have questions about the person’s OCs, you can send them to me, and I will serve as a go-between for you and your person. Artists of any skill and experience are welcome! Lastly, I’d like to create an etiquette rule for this event - no negativity. That includes complaining about your gift. I can attest that each and every submission is made with love and care and should be treated with the respect it deserves. So let’s have fun and celebrate the holidays together!!

Voice actor Koji Tsujitani has passed away.

Sad news today. Tsujitani gave Basara’s Nagamasa his unique voice and did so with a lot of energy.

He is going to be missed not just by family and friends but fans of his works as well!

Are you still into SenBasa? What do you think about Gakuen being animated?

I am, just taking a long break since there isn't so much new stuff coming out and other things have had my attention :)Definitely going to be watching the Gakuen Basara anime! It's getting close to zero hype on any anime sites I follow but I hope it will be fun and set things up for more Sengoku Basara content in future.

[makotodegozaru]

Ahhhhh I can’t wait!  Masamune, Yukimura and Keiji are in the same class, but Chousokabe is in a different class with Mouri. Kojuuro and Sasuke are also in the same class. Ah, is not the same, but I like it a lot.

News roundup: Catching up on Sengoku Basara news right before this weekend's Basara Matsuri

Sorry for the link rather than full Tumblr re-post! I decided to recap the last five months in Sengoku Basara news updates while we wait for information from the upcoming event :)

[raindropsanddaydreams]

We heard a few days ago that there would be a pair of broadcasts on Nico Nico Live on 23rd and 30th August 2016 at 19:00 Japan time, hosted by Nico Nico personalities Edosan" and Fumiichi, and Furukawa Mirin of DEMPAGUMI.inc. The links for both broadcasts are now live so the timeshifts can be reserved if you have a Nico Nico account. I don't expect any new information to be revealed at this point other than a mission here and there, but it's always possible. The Twitter reveal of the sixth special weapon based on a regional food speciality came along as expected, showing off Masayuki's special weapon Zeppin Kougyo which is a fancy arrangement of ayu (sweetfish). I wonder how these food-themed weapons are obtained?

Other updates have included formal confirmation of free mode once you've cleared the game's main story stages and a bunch of screenshots from the opening sequence which have been released to the Japanese gaming press. There's also one last(?) major Twitter campaign which is offering merchandise for participating in social media activities. Speaking of the opening, it's a little unusual that we haven't heard anything about an ending theme at this point. Could it be an instrumental, or a remix of the opening song? In Japan and not sure about whether to buy Yukimura-den? Visit a game store! Games shops across Japan will also be running a series of in-store demo events next weekend. Those who try the game out will receive a special Sengoku Basara clear file as a memento.

The fourth (and final) Sengoku Basara: Sanada Yukimura-den study video Capcom TV's silly series of clips showing Gor☆geous learning about the new game from NonakaP is now officially over with the release of the fourth video. More promotional activities take place in conjunction with Sanada Juuyuushi Here's a short message from actor Nakamura Kankuro VI to promote the tie-in with the upcoming Sanada Juuyuushi ('Sanada Ten Braves') movie. The collaboration also featured in the news today thanks to a joint press conference about the game and movie. The Sengoku Basara DOKUGAN manga will be released in collected form soon The first volume of the manga is scheduled for release on 20th October 2016 under the Young Champion Comics label. The price is officially ¥562 before tax, and it should start appearing on other import sites very soon. More Sengoku Basara exploration with a special one-day tour A special Sengoku Basara: Sanada Yukimura-den Release Date Memorial 'Sanada Pilgrimage Day Trip Tour' will take place on 15th October 2016, taking fans around the Ueda area and ending with a presentation by series producer Kobayashi Hiroyuki. Some special illustrations have been revealed showing Yukimura and Sasuke enjoying konetsuke mochi and hot springs; these pictures will appear on keychains, stickers, badges and other goodies available to those on the tour. Cute!

[raindropsanddaydreams]

Any news on that SB modern manga stuff??? I gotta see my hubbybae Kojuro in modern clothes (or see him ride a motorcycle) asap or I'll die.

It seems that the first collected volume is scheduled for 20th October 2016 at last! It should start appearing in other store listings soon.

For anyone who didn’t know, the publisher made the first chapter available for free on its website (Kojuurou doesn’t do anything in the first chapter since it’s mostly introducing Masamune and the antagonists but hey, free manga available worldwide, what’s not to like?)

[raindropsanddaydreams]

Hello! Do you have an idea about the drama cd「戦国BASARA」-伊達政宗&真田幸村-通常盤 would you recommend it for a DateSana fan and since both Masamune and Yukimura are holding kitchen equipment does it include a cooking scene? Thank you for everything you do <3

ドラマ寄席CD「戦国BASARA」-伊達政宗&真田幸村 is probably great for DateSana fans. It’s also good for fans of their two retainers; all four are great voice actors, after all :)

The main ‘Azure-Crimson Bickering’ drama episode is only 40 minutes long, then there’s a 10 minute cast talk bonus with the actors fooling around. The first two chapters are mostly Masamune and Yukimura wandering around separately with their retainers and chatting about food. Then the two groups meet up. There’s a lot of boasting about their local specialities, and Yukimura's reactions to the food are amazing (lol). 

[raindropsanddaydreams]

Hi! I've noticed that Masayuki doesn't have the Sanada Rokumonsen crest on the back of his outfit but rather a ladder crest. Does he have his own different symbol from the clan? I also always find an odd bird sign decorating the Sanada related websites.

Sorry for the late response (I’m so slow these days!)

As you’ve discovered, a lot of the Sengoku-era clans used more than one kamon crest over the years. Sometimes different people favoured different imagery, and sometimes they simply used different ones depending on the occasion; it wasn’t unheard of for a high ranking clan to grant a lower ranking family the right to use a version of their crest as a mark of respect.

I’ll skip past the Rokumonsen as that’s easily recognisable, but I’m guessing the bird emblem you’ve seen is the Musubi-Karigane, which is supposed to represent a wild goose and a knot. I’m not a big expert on the Sanada clan but I’ve seen this crest associated with them too when travelling through areas such as Ueda, and when I looked it up it seems that it was predominantly used in peacetime. Thankfully there’s quite a lot of reliable information available about the Sanada clan thanks to their descendants passing the traditions down.

As for the four-rung ladder (Noboribashigo), the real Masayuki was said to have armour adorned with the ladder and it was a personal symbol bestowed on him by none other than Takeda Shingen. The ladder symbolises a person who has ‘scaled the highest summit’ and he would have earned it through his performance as Shingen’s vassal. It would have been a great honour, so it’s no wonder that he wore it boldly across his armour. 

I hope that helped!
