Translations to Indonesian

Embarrassed to say that I'm so fallen back in my Japanese studies that the only time I ever actually study is when I stumble on an anime song that I really like and somehow propelled me to make a translation of its lyrics.

Trigun Stampede was a good anime, marred with messy writing and inconsisten...

It's one of those posts, folks, where I post my translation of a Japanese song along with tons of commentaries but it's all in Indonesian, so like half of y'all can only read this short prelude. Sorry!

I love RADWIMPS and I love Makoto Shinkai's movies and his latest, Suzume, is among one of my...

This post contains Indonesian translation for the song KICK BACK by Kenshi Yonezu, the opening song to Chainsaw Man Season 1. I do these kind of things to practice my Japanese and translation skills. While I try to translate mostly from the Japanese with my fledgling fluency, I also got some guida...

This post contains an Indonesian translation for 棒人間 (*Bouningen*) a song by RADWIMPS, but I also want to talk about the song in English for a bit.

As with my previous song translation post, this is mostly done to practice my Japanese. For this one though, to my shame, I immediately gave up after...

This post contains Indonesian translation (and comments on the process) for the lyrics of Fukashigi no Karute, the ending song for the anime Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny-Girl Senpai. I did the translation to practice my Japanese and I just feel like it's easier to translate this to Indonesian...

This is an Indonesian translation of Seeds and Cinders, a short story by Jei D. Marcade as featured in the SF/F magazine Uncanny.

Indonesian translation for So Much Beauty in Dirt, a short story by Ryan Koyanagi aka AnonDesu aka RinKou. I found this translation in the depths of my PC, last modified on April 2016. Damn, that's old, but the work I did was solid, maybe even better than my recent attempt on the same story. So I...

This is my notes and comments for my Indonesian translation of His Master's Voice.

Catatan Penerjemah

Gaya menulis Hannu Rajaniemi ini lumayan unik. Pertama, dia saking Hard SF-nya, udah seperti novel fantasi yang gak kira-kira melempar istilah sihir sana sini. Ini lalu diliput dengan gaya n...

This is an Indonesian translation to "His Master's Voice", a short story by Hannu Rajaniemi. You can read the original here. Rajaniemi is my favourite science fiction author and I've yelled about him often enough in this blog. The Quantum Thief is definitely one book I'll recommend forever, but...

This is an Indonesian translation for two stories by Ryan Koyanagi. I found them lying in the depths of my computer, dated 23 January 2017, while I was digging around for short stories I wrote that I can compile into a collection. Koyanagi hasn't been seen for years and I've never talked with him...
