Buono! Days Vol. 1 - Buono! Leader Ketteisen! Subtitled Release

By: The Incredible He-Hulk


Buono! days ~ Buono! Leader Ketteisen!
Fan club only release: August 22, 2008

The goal of every ICU release is to put you in the shoes of the Japanese fan – from the time you push play to the time the video ends we want you to understand every little bit of it.
But, we try to go even further than just crashing you through the language barrier. We try to circumvent what I refer to as the “Wota Barrier,” as well. It is the gap that exists between foreign and native fans. It is the knowledge about H!P and their idols that a native Japanese hardcore wota has but an international fan does not. We try to bridge that knowledge gap, in whatever way that’s required, so that no reference to H!P’s past slips by you, and that no obscure inside joke escapes your notice.
Finally, we try to present our subtitles in a way that mirror the intent of the original video as much as possible. What this means is that our on-screen text translations always attempt to replicate the text they are translating. Look, color, feel – if their text moves, so does ours, if it fades, so does ours – whatever tools are at our disposal to make it happen are employed. We want our subs to fit into the video so seamlessly that they feel like they were a part of it all long.

At the end of the day, these are tough goals to achieve. Mistakes will invariably be made, errors will crop up, and sometimes things that we might like to do with a video will simply be impossible. Such is the nature of any task. But, there is beauty and worth to be found in striving to reach lofty heights; in giving it your best effort. We think that the video you are now downloading is an example of this. We hope that you will think so, as well.
