[Req] Searching for Subber/Timer for Ainori (The Love Bus)

Do you want Ai Nori Subs? If you do, vote! (You need 10 forum posts to vote)

I'm going to sub the next Ai Nori episodes until September or so, and determine whether to continue subbing it based on how much interest these initial subs generate. So vote if you wanna see more!

The subs only subtitle the main part of the show, not the commentary. So don't freak out when there's no subs for those parts, your computer isn't broken.

Synopsis:: (From Wikipedia)
Ainori (Japanese: あいのり, literally "Ride together") is a popular television program in Japan on FujiTV. It is a reality program where a certain number of young men and women travel the world, mainly on a pink bus. The goal of the program is to fall in love and return to Japan as a couple. When someone has decided they like someone else, they ask the driver (a native of the particular country they are traveling in) for a ticket. They then present the ticket to the object of their affection. Then, usually the next day, the person can kiss the one who presented them the ticket, and they will return to Japan together. Otherwise, they will say sorry, and get back on the bus, while the one who presented the ticket is left to return to Japan alone. After people leave the bus, new people are added to the program. They are seen on the side of the road with a painted cardboard sign (appearing to be hitchhikers) and brought aboard after a self-introduction.

i voted yes, but i kinda did wonder 'what happened to london hearts' subs. haha!

Yea, I like London Hearts and all but the level of Japanese was a little too much for me to translate. It takes a lot of time to look up words and rewind, listen, rinse repeat. Ai Nori on the other hand has simple conversations with subtitles in Japanese! Also the eps are only 20 minutes long if you subtract the commercials and commentary.

Yea, so in other words I'm too lazy to sub London Hearts Tongue

If someone with really good Japanese skills wants to help out though maybe I'll try again.

Tonydesu: I watch the show here in Japan, so I don't need to download the BT. But I really like the show and I wanna help popularize it abroad. It took me about 3 hours to translate last show. We could both translate half of each show, so I can use your half for my webpage and you can use my half for your subs. That would cut down both our workload, and make more people happy, faster! Oh, and BTW, my Japanese is pretty good, but there are still some translations I'm not sure of. A native speaker with good English skills to proof-read our work would be nice. Smile

よろしくお願いします！

Sylvain: Yea we can give it a try for next weeks episode. I'm glad to have your help, since you're Japanese must be better than mine ^_^. As for needing a native English speaker, I am one so no worries there. Smile

Looking forward to working with you too~ こちらこそよろしくお願いします。

I'd still like someone to help timing the sub, even if they only are willing to time half of it. Any takers?

Tonydesu: I meant: a Japanese native speaker...

It'll be great if there's English subs because I stopped watching it since I didn't understand what they were talking about.

I don't how many people are interested in this, but I looked around the Ai Nori website and found that they post diary entries of the members relating to certain episodes. I translated it and uploaded it for anyone interested~

I don't have webspace to host these, so I just uploaded the html file. Enjoy~
