Hey I don't know if you're still active but thank you for all your work and I hope you're in a better spot now than in your last post. <3 I saw your sidebar said "don't repost lyrics as text anywhere else" and wanted to let you know that there's a lot of your translations on jpopasia. There's also one on The Matsuurian (Yoake no Mew) and at least one on the helloprolyrics wiki (Watarasebashi but there are also more credited to someone else nearly identical to yours). Sorry if this is nosy of me!
I check my tumblr inboxes extremely sporadically so I wouldn't really say active, but thanks for your message! I'm actually doing a lot better now, partly because occasionally catching up to activities of former idols post-graduation is tons less stressful than following active idols, partly because translating stopped feeling like an obligation, lol.
Thank you for looking out for me! I'm aware uploading translations online is sort of accepting that they're up for grabs no matter how hard you try expressing your preferences as a translator, and I can't state enough how appreciative I am that a fellow fan would keep those preferences in mind and respect them enough to let me know when they're not being followed.
I've never used jpopasia, but a quick google search shows the person that posted the majority of my translations is a mod, and the whole site comes off as the music equivalent of those gross manga aggregator sites, so I'm guessing reaching out to them isn't going to solve anything. >>;
The only thing I regret is most of those look like really early translations, so they're very much riddled with errors.
The Matsuurian never asked permission to post lyrics either, but Yoake no Mew is actually one of the translations I lost when I accidentally deleted it, so I guess it works out, albeit iffily? As for the H!P lyrics wiki, thanks for pointing out that particular page! Watarasebashi was definitely posted without my permission (hence the awkward formatting omg), but the other nearly identical posts you've seen were uploaded personally by me because my compulsion to try and express the greatness of H!P lyrics via translating them is stronger than my will at this point, even when my Japanese is relatively rusty.
At any rate, I'm still against my tumblr-exclusive lyrics being posted anywhere else OUTSIDE OF subbed videos (please just link them instead), but if I chose to edit them and post them on the H!P lyrics wiki they're under CC-BY-SA so anyone is free to do whatever they like with them with my full blessing, provided they credit properly.
(I'm aware that's inconsistent and somewhat confusing, sorry.)
Incidentally, assuming you're an H!P fan, feel free to track my work there using this link. :)
