Just want to say I love this thread so much.
I'm currently using Memrise on my phone to learn - it uses memory devices to help with kanji and it's pretty effective so far.

Interesting seeing some of the translations that they've come up with and comparing them with the original English dialogue.
e.g.
* "There are stories about what happened." → 「多くの噂を聞いたわ」 ("I've heard many rumours.")
* "It's true. All of it." → 「真実だ。すべては真実だ」("It's true. All of it is true.")
* "This Christmas" → 「目覚めよ」 ("Awaken!")
SMAP are going to break up!
Strangely enough, I found out about this through a post by the voice actor for the original Lynn Minmay (Macross), and my daughter was watching Macross on TV at the time... during a scene where she's singing 「私の彼はパイロット」 ("My Boyfriend's A Pilot"). And if that's too 80s for you, here's the Macross Frontier (Ranka Lee) version.
how did i just find this thread now??
