@woepumpkin replied to your post:❗ Please Stop Reposting Files ❗
“You don’t even own the videos, even if you bought it. Don’t feel so entitled about it just because you spend money on the DB / DVD.
I hope the user keeps uploading stages because you are so selfish you even ask money just for the video! Not even the physical copy itself.
I’m so fuckin tired of this selfish and arrogant fandom.”
————-
Hi, I want to address your concerns because I think you’ve misunderstood. Firstly, like I said in my post, when people post whole stage plays on public streaming sites and companies see that that become less willing to officially release things overseas when they see overseas fans doing things like that. This is also why many Japanese companies make their YouTube videos unavailable outside Japan (other than just for copyright reasons). In fact, some of their videos and other people’s videos already got copyright strikes by a Japanese media rights company, and they are no longer posted.
Secondly, @ryota-kunstranslations said directly in her post “We don’t ask you to not re-post because we’re being selfish” so your claim of entitlement and selfishness is invalid. We WANT people to watch these plays, we just don’t want them posted on streaming sites. To be honest, you could share our files with a million other people without our permission and as long as it’s never reposted publicly online I would be okay with that.
Thirdly, I have never, ever asked for money for my files. I give my files away completely for free. I agree with you that it’s not right to ask for money for video files because technically the person can make more than the original cost of the BD/DVD and it’s not right to make a profit off of something you didn’t create. Boxsplits are okay in my opinon though because there is a defined number of people who split the total cost and after that, no one else is given the files. So I get that you dislike those that ask for money, and I agree, but you’re complaining to the wrong people about that and that’s not what my post was about.
Lastly, if we take out the videos entirely from the equation what it really comes down to is the stolen subtitles. We put a lot of time and effort into making these and the one thing we ask for is that they DO NOT get posted publicly. And what did this person (and others) do? They posted it publicly.
The fact that you “hope the user keeps uploading stages” is all fine and good, but only if it’s their own rips from their own BD/DVD. If it’s your file, you can do whatever you want with it. I just don’t want to see other people’s files getting downloaded and reposted. And now that the people who shared video files and subtitle files for free are no longer sharing them publicly, that reposter won’t even be able to keep uploading stages because they have no one to steal it from.
I want to keep sharing the stage plays with everyone, but until people stop reposting things I don’t want to share links anymore. But because I really want people to watch the plays, I like hosting one-time livestreams as a way for people who don’t own the BD/DVD to watch them. This will be my alternative to link sharing.
Sorry I’m so long-winded, but I hope you get the point. Thanks.
Sure, I admit I did ask ko-fi for a few files because other people were doing it and I thought, why not give it a try? We could maybe use those ’donations’ to buy more plays to share publicly with people.
Not many even asked for it in the first place (there were like about three or four only) and even then, I thought that maybe that was going a bit too far so I stopped doing it after not even two months. Those donations by the way were used to contribute to the Memorial Tour BD split and the few that was left will be used for the future splits. It’s all for the fandom so I don’t see how the splits and such can be seen as ‘selfish’.
What it comes down to and what we’re really upset about is the fact that our subtitles were reposted without our express permission. Me, @moonlit-manifesto , @rubymikun and even @ryuukia help with translating, timing, styling, and proofreading just so the subtitles are accurate and as close to the original as possible. We do this in our free time or whenever we’re available so people can enjoy the plays better. We have never ever asked people money for the subtitles.
The videos you can share with your friends or whatever personally as long as it’s not posted online. Or if it’s posted online, at least make sure it’s yours or have permission from the original uploader.
We like what we’re doing, sharing with the fandom, interacting with it, truly. But honestly, it just feels a bit discouraging when all the hard work we’ve put in are being credited to someone who doesn’t even deserve the credit.
I’m sorry that this got long-winded but I felt like I had to help clear things up a bit and explain a bit more about why we were upset about it.
I’m sorry we have to keep talking about this, but the problem is still going on and some people just don’t care.
This Youtube channel has reposted several Tsukista video files and even subtitle files that they do not own!! If you are this person or know this person, please kindly ask them to stop and delete the files from YouTube. Comment on their videos and politely tell them to take down their reposted files. The more comments the better, but try not to sound rude or they probably won’t listen. (If you want links to other stolen videos, message me and I’ll help find more. But just searching “Tsukista” or something similar in Youtube brings up a lot of stolen stuff.)
The reason why we don’t want our videos and subtitles to be posted publicly is because if the companies see this, this will decrease the chances of them releasing things overseas. Also, this is flat-out stealing other people’s files and going against the original uploaders’ rules. This really upsets us and makes us not want to share things if people can’t respect our rules.
Please DO NOT REPOST anything you do not own or create yourself - this goes for fanart, music files, video files, etc. (Reblogging is OK)
Because of this person and several others, @ryota-kunstranslations and I are no longer sharing Tsukiuta/Tsukista/Tsukipro English subtitles publicly, they will be distributed amongst mutuals and friends only. We will only release things publicly again when we feel it is safe to do so and when the reposters delete their stolen files.
[Translation] VAZZROCK "Who is it~?” Tweets [03/25/2019]
And here’s the VAZZROCK ones~!! AHHH I’ve been waiting so long for them to do this and now it’s finally here~! Everyone’s so precious! XD
Will update if there’s an omake~
☆ Who is it~? ☆
TAKAAKI: …
OUKA: (…)
Sneaking from behind…
OUKA: ...
TAKAAKI: Oh, these cold hands are Ouka’s, huh? Should I warm them up properly?
OUKA: …It’s cold…
TAKAAKI: I know.
OUKA: Wait, you figured out who it is.
TAKAAKI: Pretty much.
#Success
#It’s because you’re the type to get lost in something you did yourself.
Okay we’re gonna try this again! I’ve compressed and re-encoded the files even more to make it smaller, and I figured out how to configure the Rabbit stream so it’s less laggy and de-synced. I have a Youtube Live channel as a backup in case Rabbit doesn’t work this time.
Date/Time: Friday, March 22nd at 9:00pm Eastern Standard Time (UTC -5)
Please convert this to your local time zone to see when it will take place.
I will make another post with the rabb.it link to the stream 10mins before it starts, so check this blog then. You will need a Rabbit account to access the stream, so make sure to create one in advance. I hope to see y’all there~
This is the first fic I’ve written in literal years and it’s YouAoi. I’ve betrayed my own OTP.
You has been in a relationship with Aoi for a month now. Yet he can’t stop thinking that he may not be the only one who is on Aoi’s mind.
I remember that day as if it were yesterday.
All my life, I thought I was only into girls. Sure, I could appreciate a good-looking man, but I thought it was all about the large breasts and the voluptuous curves that only a woman possessed. But he, no, he was different, and bisexuality is most certainly a thing.
His sparkling blue eyes lit up whatever room he was in. His sweet smile, a smile so innocent and filled with pure joy, chased away the darkness of whoever looked at him. He was always at the top of the popularity polls for a reason, he was our sunshine, our heart, and our beloved prince.
He was my beloved Aoi-chan.
I remember the first time I met Aoi-chan. He was introduced as a Gravi member, shyly standing behind Arata, who looked like he couldn’t care less. “I’m You,” I said, outstretching a welcoming hand to Aoi-chan. A sweet smile. “I’m Aoi Satsuki. It’s nice to meet you, Haduki-san.”
Haduki-san, eh? Kind and well-mannered, that I could tell from a mile away. Man, TsukiPro really found the most quintessential blond, blue eyed prince character, didn’t they?
“Nice to meet you, Aoi-chan.”
Yoru, my best childhood friend was standing next to me, and in my peripheral vision I could see his eyes grow wider than Kuroda’s after he was caught stealing food. “You~~,” he snapped. “Manners!”
But Aoi only laughed, a melodic sound that filled my body with jubilant tingles, and smiled at me. “Aoi-chan is fine.”
I didn’t know it at that time, but I had already fallen for him.
“Mmm.” A soft voice next to me.
I beamed, running my fingers through his soft, fluffy blond hair, gently massaging his scalp. In my musings, I hadn’t realized it was morning and past both of our times to wake up. We had been dating for a month already and really weren’t supposed to show any romantic displays of affection. Hajime, Shun, and probably the rest of the guys knew about our relationship (how could they not, I could barely look at Aoi without blushing) but we were strictly forbidden from acting like a couple in public. So I was forced to rely on these fleeting moments, waking up in a bed that was slightly too small for two people, next to the person I loved so.
“You?”
I frowned. I knew him well enough to know that his voice was hoarse. Sick? Sick again? He had just gotten over a nasty bout of the flu about a week ago. Was this a continuation of the flu? Another illness? I positioned my hand to lay gently on his head, and I glowered again. Yep. He definitely had a fever.
“You’re sick again.”
“Mmm? Am I?” Aoi asked as if he somehow didn’t know, adorably attempting to rub the sleep out of his eyes.
“You have a fever,” I said firmly yet gently at the same time, kissing his bare shoulder, exposed by my old oversized tee that he slept in. Aoi gave me a cheeky grin, one he flashed whenever he was feeling slightly mischievous.
“You’re right, it is hot in here, but I don’t think a fever is the source of the heat,” he whispered, his voice tingling my every senses, nuzzling against me. I could only chuckle at his terrible corny line which was definitely part of his many charms.
“Oi,” I said, resisting every urge I had to just give myself to him then and there. “You’re sick. You should rest today.”
“Don’t wanna,” He pouted childishly, biting gently at my neck, his surefire sign that he was in the mood and more than ready. I hesitated for a brief second, not wanting to take advantage of my feverish and slightly delirious partner, but caved into my instinct and pulled the already too large shirt down a touch further…
“Get a room, will ya?”
See, this is the reason why the other group members should not have access to master keys.
I scowled, the mood immediately ruined, and turned to face the invader. Arata.
“This is my room,” I grumbled, knowing full well Arata would ignore me.
“Arata!” Aoi perked up, as he always did when Arata, his childhood best friend was around. He straightened immediately, breathing a touch heavier from his fever, his soft breath warm against my cheek.
Try as I might, I couldn’t stop the irritated green-eyed-monster that dwelled deep within my subconscious. Arata had already given me his “permission” to date Aoi—not like I needed it, mind you!—and Aoi had already assured me time and time again that his feelings for Arata were platonic in nature, but…but…
I instinctively pulled Aoi even closer to me, kissing him on the cheek. Much to my dismay, Aoi gently pulled away, fumbling with the covers and stumbling out of bed to greet his childhood friend, looking absolutely adorable in nothing but my oversized t-shirt.
“What’s up?” Aoi coughed almost immediately after his question. I reached out to comfort him, to rub his back, but Arata beat me to it, patting Aoi on the shoulder and flicking him on his forehead.
“Sick people should stay in bed,” he said soothingly.
My brow furrowed in displeasure. Platonic feelings or not, there was no doubt that Arata was a different, kinder person when he was around Aoi.
I hated it.
It was awfully selfish of me to hate it, but I hated it nonetheless. Aoi looked at Arata differently than he looked at me, differently than he looked at anybody, really. He never showed that level of comfort around me. Yoru tried to tell me it was because our relationship was still relatively new while he and Arata had been friends since the beginning, but that advice did far more harm than good.
Will I ever be more important than him?
I was so caught up in my internal rant that I hadn’t noticed Aoi place a gentle hand on my left shoulder, as if he was fully aware of my insecurities and trying to subtly reassure me that he was still mine.
“You’re right,” Aoi said, “I really am not feeling well. I’ll go to back to bed.”
Oh, so you’ll listen to him, but not me. I see how it is.
“Cool. I just came in to grab something, so I’ll see you later, then.” Arata held something up, what exactly he had stolen from my room, I hadn’t noticed. I was far more concerned with the dignity Arata had robbed from me. A soft click indicated that Arata had left the room.
Aoi coughed again and side, leaning next to me as he sat back down on the bed.
“You.”
I didn’t answer, lost in a maze of my own thoughts.
“You.” A sweet kiss on my lips. He may have kissed me, but was his heart truly with me, or were his thoughts following Arata out the door?
I didn’t hear the pained sniffle, nor did I feel the tremor from his shaking fingers.
“You!” Aoi rubbed his cheek against mine to get my attention, and while I felt the unnatural warmth from his fever, I also felt an unsettling damp sensation.
Damp? Was he sweating from the fever? Wait…
With all my willpower, I forced myself to swim out of my sea of insecurities back to reality, greeted by a crying Aoi.
Aoi was crying.
I cursed, furious at myself for ever hurting him so much that he cried, and pulled him into a deep embrace, resting my head on his and rubbing circles on his heaving back. Aoi gasped for air as he cried, his already weakened lungs struggling to breathe. I fought back my own tears that threatened to fall.
Why did this always happen when Arata was involved?
Why do I do this!?
“I’m sorry,” Aoi choked out between a mixture of sniffles, coughs, and sobs. “I’m so sorry.”
Why are you apologizing? I’m the one that’s selfish.
I kissed the top of his head, desperately trying to find something to tell him to calm him, to tell him it was my fault, that I was the jealous boyfriend that couldn’t stand it when his partner merely exchanged two words with another man…
I opened my mouth to speak, but Aoi beat me to it.
“Arata is and always will be important to me,” he choked. “But…but…if it makes you upset, I can tell him not to—”
My eyes widened. No way in hell I was letting him finish that statement.
“Aoi-chan,” I said firmly, pulling him back slightly so I could force him to stare at him. The sight of my beloved, flushed from a fever, tears streaming down his face, a runny nose, and disheveled hair was enough for tears to fall down my own face. I hated myself sometimes. Aoi must have sensed my jealousy and insecurities and immediately blamed himself for causing my internal conflict. He really was too kind for his own good.
It was one of the many things I loved so.
“You said it yourself,” I said, my own voice hitching from my terrible attempt to hold back my own tears, “Arata is important to you. What kind of partner would I be if I didn’t treasure that relationship as much as you did?”
“But…I see how it makes you feel, that pained look in your eyes, that self-deprecating look that you always torture yourself with…” he broke off into a fit of coughing and I pulled him close to me again, caressing his forehead tenderly. “I don’t know how I can prove to you that you’re the one I’m in love with.”
What kind of proof did I want?
I glanced down at him, relishing in our tender embrace. I chuckled, brushing away that nagging gremlin in the back of my head away, even if it was for a brief moment.
Just having Aoi here in my arms was all the proof I could ever need.
Okay, jealous You is adorable.
Well, that was supposed to go one way and then it went another way. Then I didn’t want it to drag so I ended it. I meant it when I said this was the first fic I’d written in oh, about 5 years now, so please bear with me.
I’ll be getting an AoOO account, I wanted to post this and it hadn’t been created yet. Let me know if you’d be interested in reading some more of my writing, I’m open to requests, but of course I know the Nenchuu-gumi the best. Might be nice to have some prompts to get back into writing, I used to be quite the little fanfic author, maybe I’ll share some old links if I ever get bold enough. ^^
Hello, have you made sub for tsukista rabbit kingdom? if not, are you have a plan to sub it? Thank you :)
Hello! I was translating Rabbits Kingdom but since a lot of people are reposting the Tsukista videos (and @nebulous-wanderings LunaLive subs) on YouTube, we’re not too sure if we still want to post the subs publicly. For now, it’s only being shared with mutuals.
