Sorry to tell everyone this, but siantut, due to copyright laws in Japan(she lives in Japan), won't be subbing any jdramas from now on since consequences of subbing is a bit drastic in Japan.

Oh My God, so we'll not have subs for this drama.OH they're so strict in Japan.Can they think about drama fan all over the world.

No, they don't think of fansubbing all over the world. In fact, they'd really like to stamp it out if they could.

I do think that the companies putting the production money into these dramas are not well-served by then hiring Joe's Subtitling & Ura Video Shack to do the "official" translations and subtitles. There is nothing to turn off a potential fan (and market!) faster than subtitles that make little or no sense in the target language. ("Backstroke of the West" comes to mind --that's the translated title for a bad Revenge of the Sith translation copy)

Yet, if they could spend very little extra and get decent translations for the videos from people who speak the language idiomatically in both the original language and the target, they'd grow a market.

What they worry about is quite obviously NOT the translation. No, what they are worried about is the loss of revenue due to file sharing. I argue that if they'd just give us clever translations and then make it available to download for a price, they'd have serious bank rolling in.

Just think about the ability to pick and choose from ANY asian/foreign drama with subtitles done on the quality level that amrayu and company did for Hana Yori Dango (have I said thank you for that? Thank you!). Gives me chills of pleasure just thinking about being able to get that without feeling like I'm a customer at a Speakeasy*.

I hope that Liar Game DOES get translated. I am SO looking forward to that one.

*Speakeasy - in the 1920's in the USA, alcohol was outlawed through federal laws. After alcohol was made illegal, small private clubs sprang up to offer alcohol to the masses for a price. Police would often raid these clubs as they found them. You'd have to know someone who was a member to get access to the club, and then they were found in back alleys and required special passwords and knowledge to get in. When Prohibition was repealed, the clubs vanished.

Of course, now we have the Pot Runners that maintain databases and pin codes and use runners to deliver your weed to your home. I kid you not.

Can't wait to see this since I love psychological thrillers. Not to mention that Toda Erika is in this as well as Shota. Hope to see some improvement in acting.

Well, about copyright laws...

I heard that siantut is going to write detailed reports about the episodes on her website. The thing about fansubs is that you are producing your own work off of copyrighted material. (at least in Japan...) I think that siantut is doing a really smart thing. I wouldn't mind watching episodes raw and then reading about the pieces I didn't understand. Whenever I read subs, I can get distracted and its hard to enjoy. I am actually looking forward to siantut's reviews.

Hi all.

I am joinning this forum for this series. I am super excited about it because I have read the manga since day one. It's too bad the manga is not translated into English cause even though the art is kind of sucky, it's really quite good.

I am just wondering if anyone here can translate the psychology lesson on the LiarGame website. It looks very interesting.

ps
If anyone know Chinese, then they don't have to worry about subbing cause a group already announced the project.

all i know this is gonna be like another kurosagi, which i personally did not enjoy...

i'm watching this just for toda erika ^_^.

phew lucky someone is subbing this in chinese! i've been getting most of my drama fixes from btpig or clubbox anyway, english subs take too long to be released...

Personally, I think LiarGame is very different from an episodic show like Kurosagi. But that's for you to decide when you do watch the show.

I wrote a long post detailing some of the differences, but the reply system ate the post up. Cussing
