How did your kokoro feel when no one raised their hands about Flowers at the panel?
Have you started translation on Flowers 3? If so, how far would you estimate it is?
Who is translating Togainu No Chi and Dramatical Murder?
If you put a marshmallow in coffee, is it still coffee? Or is it soup?
How do you feel about Enzai and Absolute Obedience? The original yaoi titles JAST released.
I'm a big fan! I love YURA's art work, and I really enjoyed Enzai's story and H-scene variety too (I haven't finished Absolute Obedience yet, oops). I can't say they approached the localization in the best way, or that those would have been my choices for first official BL VN translations, but I like the games themselves :)
What is your favorite flavor of milk?
How have your dealings with companies been? Do they seem surprised that your female or that your a foreigner? Do you think it has helped or hindered things?
They can tell right away from my name that I'm not Japanese, but yes, most of them are surprised to find out that I'm female. I think being foreign helps in a lot of ways, since I'm dealing with localizations into English, so it's like "proof" to them that I'll produce good English (not that being a native speaker means you have any actual talent with a language, but never mind!). Sometimes it can be a hindrance as Japanese people are more likely to trust a fellow Japanese person, and of course there can be some problems with communication since I don't have perfect keigo/business Japanese skills. Being female doesn't seem to obviously hinder me, but I'm almost certain it has at least subconsciously altered some people's impressions of me, and made it more difficult for me to get companies to take me seriously.
Overall, my dealings with companies have been mostly neutral to negative, although I do have one very good client who I'm always delighted to work with. So I know there are great companies out there, it's just finding and accessing them that's the hard part!
What're the JAST USA projects that you're working on?
Will you be at Anime Expo this year?
You said your teacher didn't take your mental illnesses seriously? What kind do you have? Do you have Borderline Personality Disorder?
um hello... since you are a member of innocent grey, can you make them give a release date for kara no shoujo 3 already?
Cute boys or cute girls, which are more important?
Hi, you talked on your Twitter about streaming VNs! Have you started that yet? Hopefully you'll upload/archive them somewhere, I don't have much free time between work/school/girlfriend so I might miss them otherwise
