Joshi Deka! [Eng Subs] (Complete)

Kagemusha, literally a shadow warrior, is actually a decoy, not some fancy warrior. I could be wrong, but it may be a modern word born from Akira Kurosawa's film of the same name set in the warring states period, not actually a word from those times. In the movie, a commoner is trained to impersonate a dying warlord to make his enemies believe he is still strong and in power. If someone is more knowledgeable about this, by all means share

Sapporo_Girl explains about the resort hotel: "The hotel in question is a government resort hotel that can be used by ALL national officials, including the police. So it's a social welfare hotel."

This drama incorporates many flashbacks (E). If your player supports tags, then flash-back text (and internal monologue text) will be italicized (T).

Unless it is crucial to the storyline, we will not indicate the individual detective ranks, with Aoyama and Sakura being the exception (E).

Yoroshiku onegaishimasu (greeting) could be considered "Please take care of me" (E) as in a courtesy to the people you will be working with (T).

The Keishichou refers to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department (MPD in the subs). The Keisatsucho is the National Police Agency (NPA in the subs), which is akin to the FBI in America. The special agent in charge of the investigation is called the Kanrikan. In the subs, we will refer to him directly as Kanrikan instead of "general manager," which is the literal translation (E & T).

Sakura calls Aoyama "Aonegi" because he's tall and thin like a green onion (E).
Katahira Nagisa has been portraying a female private detective for a number of years (E).

In their first car ride, Sakura uses the word "tsukkome" when she's lying about her age. The word originated in a two-man stand-up comedy routine. One (Sakura as Boke) makes a far-fetched statement and Kurumi (as Tsukkomi) is supposed to point out that the statement is stupid. The routine progresses this way (E).

Gendo Senki is a Japanese anime film loosely based on the third and fourth books of Ursula K. Le Guin's Earth sea series (E).
