Who Can Read Japanese?

Post by **racketboy** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 5:39 pm

While this is a good forum question anyway, I actually have a bit of text to translate from my Capcom art book.

If no one replies back, I can see how much my brother can translate for you, he has been to Japan and I know reads some Japanese (if you have scans, email them to ocap1 at hotmail dot com).

If you can scan it I can give it ago. It has been sometime but I might be able to wing my way through it.

The main thing I'm looking for is a title of the featured artwork and hopefully the artist.
If you, for some reason would like to translate the artist's notes as well, that would be cool

Let me know what translations go with which jpg file

Thanks!

Nice art book! Does it feature more from Capcom than RockMan?

Ok I gave it a couple times over and came to the conclusion that I will be of no help. I mean I ended up translating the first one to say "To consolidate Russia." Time to start learning Japanese again. Sorry Racket, those kanji are dastardly fellas.

Cool thanks -- I'm posting the Megaman art post today and wanted to get some artists/titles for some of my favorites from the book.

This is the first in the series that I'm including official art.
Most of the entries, however, are still fan art as they usually have more creativity and give a different perspective of the franchise.

Will you be availible in about 5-6 hours if I can give you a better view of the names?
(Can I email you, etc?)

I really appreciate you help!
