Legacy of a Hero: SONIQUE - Japanese Theatrical Trailer!

[TamTu]

So here's the deal. I got this random idea to do a trailer in japanese, to see if I could make trailers sound cool, even in a foreign language. Soo, I picked a side story from Legacy of a Hero's old team SONIQUE and wrote up a script for it.

Basic plot: Tatsu organised a reunion of his old high school class to reunite Shizune with Matt. Abura, the villain of the story, crashes the party and kidnaps Sizune and takes her to the future. Shuya and Kaori follow, Tatsu and Yukari follow later. In the future, Shuya thinks to have rescued Shizune...but Abura takes over her body. Can SHuya fight the girl he once loved so much?


Here's the script to read along :D http://www.play-bvp.com/loah/loah-japscript.htm

Just for the people who remember the LoaH characters, I gave them all japanese names. See Cast-list with edits. ^^

[Lex]

suhweet bro!

But I never questioned you :)

[Dylan]

Dude! That was fantastic! Amazing stuff, really convincing, and nicely paced.

Thanks for the translation, that boosted my appreciation of the clip even more.

Top job, people, top job.

[Sadsiren]

Hot damn! This sounded awesome, very convincing. ^-^ Everyone did a great job.

[Ariadyne]

*has chills* That was awesome! Are you planning on actually extending this into an RP? I think that would be an awesome idea. ^^

You said you wanted to see if you could make trailers sound cool, even in a foregion language...well you succeeded! ^^

[Danae]

AH THE PRONUNCIATION.

Other than that, very cool. <3

[Mindychan]

Brilliant, you guys. Excellent job with everything, Blue ^_^

I am so happy this was finished! I have been taking Japanese since '94 and I am very impressed with the cast! It takes alot of guts to take on a story/language you know nothing about and not only try to get the pronunciation down but also convey the right emotion! Everyone worked very hard and it shows! *hugs*

Your translation of everything seemed wonderful! I'm just wondering though, on the line that Blue had:

'Minna wa...deedo"

Did you use the english form for drama?

I was just wondering because it was right in the middle of all this great Japanese and I was like: she can't just NOT know the word for dead :P

Completely supurb, dahling~

[MariaVu]

I based his character alot on Shurikenger from Hurricanger..lol

I thought the engrish worked! It suited his personality me thinks :)
