New Toshi message (2nd May 2008)

Toshi remembered hide on his blog http://ameblo.jp/blog-toshi/theme-10006587362.html

Translation is on his myspace, but it seemed to me a bit too straightforward, somehow it feels different in Japanese :? http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=1000428614&blogID=389061534

But I think, that what expreses Toshi the best, is this smiley:

:lol: similar, aren't they :wink:

"... to live a life contributing to the bright future for our planet earth, Nature and its children and to the world peace."

I don't think he was brainwashed but after reading this I also do not wonder why some people believe it.

That's why I'm telling you that the English translation is weird :idea:

It depends... is it really only because of the weird translation?

I will take look on it later but I'm not optimistic enough to hope that it will be fully understandable for me.

The original text is more subtle. Translation always sounds slightly weird.

World peace... what does it remind me? Yees, of course, "Miss Congeniality" movie.

Yup :wink: I also felt it more in this way, the translation was somehow too "rough" :?
As I see from your translation, it seems I was able to translate it for myself correctly even with my 7month knowledge of Japanese ^^ that's nice *dummie thanks to Toshi for keeping it simple* ^.^

You are lucky Panthere :wink: enjoy the show!

There's a community on LJ dedicated to translating Toshi's Japanese blogs. ^_^ Here's the link.

And it has the May 2nd blog posted there already. ^^

I hope it's okay for me to post this, by the way. XD"

But I will become lazy this way *kicks herself to go on the original blog and translate it directly from Japanese* Have to study... so why not with the help of mighty Garlic man :lol:
