Niconico Translations

I was going to post about meeting my host sister Natsumi Suenobu from 2005 but I wasn't able to get to her hostel in Worcester so I don't really have much to say about that. Instead, here are some superb translations of Japanese songs posted on Niconico Douga, the Japanese Youtube. Yeah, it's relevant to my blog because it's from Japan.

All these are translated but require varying amounts of Japanese culture knowledge, which I will be happy to provide in comments.

• "Convenience Mart"
  A delightful take on dime-a-dozen Japanese pop love songs.
  
• Owata \(^o^)/
  This kind of describes why I wasn't able to meet Natsumi.
  
• sugar chocolate waffle
  Don't watch this one if you're allergic to Japan. You have been warned.
  
• Super Mario World Western Show
  Requires a little knowledge of Japanese slang, but hey, it's a Mario rap. So worth it.
  
• The Vanishment Of Hatsune Miku
  Oh no... Miku-chan...
  
• Hypothesis
  Awwww.
  
• Time Signal
  (I translated this) This video is incomprehensible if you don't know what Niconico Douga is, so don't bother.
  
• Yukkuri de Ii sa
  You will become a NEET.
  
• Song of Isolation
  (I translated this) You will be freed from NEET.
