Contact Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Version History: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.75 (June 8th, 2007): First draft of the translation FAQ submitted to GameFAQs. Still missing some kanji in the script and missing the full translations of some Japanese expressions, but pretty much all of the script is complete (except for the intros to two bonus stages, which will be added soon). I'm iffy about a few stages, so they'll be updated later. "Cultural Notes" and "fail/game over" scenes will be added in the next version. I still need to finish the game. >_< 0.80 (June 11th, 2007): I added the translations of the intros to the last two bonus stages. I added in some of the text for that large text bubble in the choir stage, but didn't translate it yet due to missing kanji. More updates coming very soon! 0.90 (June 13th, 2007): I added the missing kanji from that large text bubble in the choir stage and translated it. Thanks so much to Miu from Japan for providing the text and translation for that! I also cleaned up a LOT of the awkward translations in many of the stages and corrected a lot of the script (again, thanks to help from Miu). I also added the artists of the songs, in case anyone was interested. I'm currently in the process of getting the script and translations for the fail and game over scenes, so expect another update with that over the weekend. 0.95 (June 17th, 2007): Added many (except for the final stages) of the fail and game over scenes. I also included the "all X's" scenes, which are ending scenes of the stages that are slightly altered when you get all X's and just do a horrible job. Not all of these scenes are fully translated yet, but I'm working on it. I'm not the best at translating the haikus yet, so bear with me. More coming soon! 0.96 (June 18th, 2007): Added the script and translations of the intro and mid-stage scenes involving the two Ouendan from Evening Sun and Morning Sun towns. It's at the beginning of the stage translation section (numbered 0.). I also added some cultural terms to several stages in the "Cultural Notes" sections. If anyone has any ideas for other cultural terms, please e-mail me. I'd love to hear any suggestions you may have. :) 1.0 (June 26th, 2007): I added a few more cultural terms to the "Cultural Notes" sections in some stages. Updated copyright information. I'm hoping to eventually include the translated character descriptions found on the OTO2 website. I'm taking summer classes, so updates will be a little less frequent until I'm out in August. Again, if anyone has any ideas for cultural terms or spots something wrong with the translations, let me know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- II.

Introduction: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi there and welcome to my second translation FAQ! As you probably already know, Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii (OTO2) (translated as "Burn! Hot-Blooded Rhythm Soul") is the 2007 sequel to the 2005 game, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan ("Go! Fight! Cheer Squad"). Elite Beat Agents is the Americanized version of the games and is VERY different culturally and story-wise. Although the original OTO was pretty bare-bones in content compared to EBA, OTO2 includes a LOT more content (including unlockable bonus stages, a picture gallery, and more songs). All in all, it's a definite improvement over the first game (in my opinion). After translating the original Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (also available on GameFAQs), I decided to try my hand at translating the sequel due to popular demand and my own interest in the Japanese language and culture. I also thought it would be something fun to do in my spare time and help me remember all my Japanese from college, having majored in the language. Primarily, though, I thought it would be informative for those who cannot read the text and want to know what is being said. I realize the manga panels mainly speak for themselves, but it's interesting to know what's being said, isn't it? :) Some of the stages in OTO2 can be a little confusing without knowing what's being said. Hope you enjoy the FAQ! :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV. Translation Notes: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Only the manga panels in each stage and the story scenes involving the Ouendan will be translated; I will not be translating the menus, which are pretty much self-explanatory. In version 0.75, please realize that the guide is far from complete and that I am missing some text in some stages. There is a LOT more text in this game compared to the original OTO. The intro scenes for two bonus stages are not complete, since I haven't unlocked them in the game myself yet. As I am a big Japanese culture buff, I will be adding items to the "Cultural Notes" sections in the next version. I just didn't have time to add them in the first version. Also, "fail/game over" scenes will be added very soon. I will not be including translations for many of the sound effects (onomatopoeia). These are pretty much self-explanatory and most cannot be found in a standard Japanese dictionary anyway. I will translate the ones I can find, but will leave the others alone. Most will be listed in Japanese, but not translated. Also realize that names written in kanji will have different readings, so I will just pick the most popular reading for that particular kanji or combination of kanji. I'm pretty sure the names are correct, though, since I've seen the furigana of the names on top of the kanji in Japanese magazine articles related to OTO2. I tried my best to translate the different Japanese dialects (like Kansai-ben) many of the characters possess in the game. It's very different from standard Japanese, so I had trouble understanding a good deal of it. Again, I will try to improve the translations in the future. I decided to use Japanese text in this document rather than romaji because that's what is in the game and will therefore make it easier for people to follow along and locate where the text is with the manga pictures. If people REALLY want romaji along with the original Japanese text, I can always add that in a later version, if need be. But, for now, Japanese text will have to do. For translation purposes, I used my knowledge of Japanese from college, the dictionaries embedded in the freeshare program JWPce 1.50, Kodansha's furigana Japanese-English and English-Japanese dictionary, Kodansha's Kanji Learner's Dictionary, and various other Japanese language books and sources from my collection that are too long to list here. **IMPORTANT NOTE: I am definitely NOT a fluent Japanese speaker by any means, so I realize some of my translations may not be entirely correct (in fact, some may be just dead wrong). Translation is more of a hobby of mine, and I try to do the best I can at it. Also notice that I tend to translate sentences or phrases literally. Yes, sometimes it may sound awkward, but this is just how I do things. As I did a LOT of translation work in college, this is just how I was taught to translate by my professors. As a rule, though, I'll try to translate the text as best I can without it sounding too weird. If any native Japanese speakers or anyone who has an extensive knowledge of Japanese finds something wrong, please e-mail me and I will correct it in the next version of the FAQ. I know that there are several Japanese expressions/idioms in some of the stages that cannot be found in normal dictionaries, so if anyone spots one and knows what it means, please let me know. *** Also, relating to the paragraph above: PLEASE do not contact me about the correctness of my translations if you DO NOT know any Japanese or know very little. I've spent over seven years studying this language on my own and at a major university, and I only really want to hear advice from people who know what they're talking about (i.e., people who are either native speakers, or who have spent a large deal of time studying the language either on their own or in college as a major or minor). I don't mean to sound rude about this, but I really only want to hear from people who are serious about the language and geniunely want to help out by offering their knowledge of Japanese. If you don't know the language, it won't help to improve the translations in this guide at all. Also, I will admit I rushed a little bit with the first version so I could get it posted online more quickly. Thus, mistakes are to be expected. Things will definitely be improved in future versions so please be patient while I go over the script more closely. All the awkward-sounding stuff will soon be corrected and re-worded in time. I plan to update this guide at least once a week little by little. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- V. Cultural Notes Information: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instead of merely including the translation and nothing else, I decided it would be fun (not to mention informative) to include a "Cultural Notes" section at the beginning of each stage script. These notes include information on various aspects of Japanese culture, society, and even language that I thought would be relevant to the stage at hand. Of course, some stages have more distinctly Japanese elements than others, so some stages may have very few terms or none at all. For the ones that have none, I may add terms in future versions of this FAQ if I can think of anything relevant, find more information, or receive any suggestions from readers. If anyone has any suggestions for terms, please e-mail me and I will give you credit whenever I update the FAQ in the future. For any information I have used for reference for the terms (websites, books, etc.), it will be cited at the end of the description under "sources." If no sources are listed, the information is gathered from memory. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VI.

Nyuusha Shiken (���Ў���): A test for a position in a company. In Japan, this is a test to see how a job applicant will perform in the company and if they are suited for that particular organization. Each test differs greatly depending on the size of the company giving them. Also, they usually (at least in larger companies) occur in rounds of tests and have to be passed in order to reach the next level of testing. The tests usually include an entry sheet and application (which include academic information, job history, etc.), an aptitude test, an essay, a group interview, and a single-person interview. All in all, they can be much more involved than a standard interview for a Western company. **Source: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%85%A5%E7%A4%BE%E8%A9%A6%E9%A8%93.

Great Will-Power at the Edge of the Sumo Ring!!" �i�ȁF���錾�t�j(by FLOW) (Song: "Okuru Kotoba/The Words I Send") (**NOTE: This stage was difficult to translate. Thanks to Miu for all the information on sumo terminology and the translations!) ================================================================================= **Cultural Notes: ================= 1.) Sumo wrestling: A 2,000-year-old form of wrestling that is considered by many to be the national sport of Japan. Sumo originated in ancient times as a performance to entertain the Shinto gods, but didn't become a professional sport until the early Edo period (1600-1868). The object of sumo is for a wrestler to force his opponent out of the dohyou (center circle of the elevated cement-hard clay ring) or cause him to touch the surface of the dohyou with any part of his body other than the soles of his feet. The fight is judged by the referee (gyouji), who is dressed up in the court costume of a 14th-century nobleman. The fights usually only last for a few seconds, but the rituals beforehand (stamping, squatting, puffing, and tossing salt into the air) can as last as many as four minutes. These rituals stem from ancient tradition. The Japan Sumo Association is the governing body of professional sumo. Six tournaments are held every year, each one lasting 15 days. Most sumo wrestlers are between the ages of 20 and 35 years old and are recruited mainly from rural communities. In addition to physically training, the wrestlers eat large portions of food (including lots of rice) and go to bed right after eating in order to gain sufficient weight. All of the wrestlers live in special sumo stables (heya) where the rules are very strict and they are trained by a retired successful sumo wrestler called an oyakata ("sumo coach"). All oyakata are members of the Japan Sumo Association. Here at the sumo stable, the wrestlers are taught discipline, etiquette, and the special values of sumo. Wrestlers in professional sumo are organized into a pyramid, and progress from the bottom of beginners to the top of the grand champion depends entirely on ability. The only permanent rank is that of yokozuna ("grand champion"), but a yokozuna who cannot maintain a sufficient number of wins is expected to retire. Wrestlers are promoted and demoted within and between ranks and divisions based on their win/loss records in official tournaments. Only wrestlers in the top two divisions, juuryou and makuuchi, receive regular salaries. Therefore, the income of a sumo wrestler is not assured until a consistent winning record propels him up the ranks (like Ebi-yama in this particular stage, who has to support his brothers and sisters). All sumo wrestlers take wrestling stage names called shikona, which may or may not be related to their actual names. Often, the wrestler has little choice in the name give to them, because it is usually by their stable-master or by a member of their family. *Sources: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2080.html. http://www.crystalinks.com/sumo.html. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumo. 2.) Komusugi: The fourth highest rank in sumo wrestling and the lowest of the titleholder ranks, or sanyaku. It literally means "little knot." It is the lowest rank where achieving a kachikoshi (or majority of wins) is no longer sufficient to guarantee promotion to the next highest level, which is Sekiwake. In order to advance to Sekiwake, there must be a space available or the wrestler must have achieved an awesome record in the previous tournament. When someone of the Komusugi rank reaches the sekiwake rank, their salary is increased and the wrestler can appear with the chairman of the Japan Sumo Association during his speeches. Ebi-yama starts out in the beginning of the stage in the Komusugi rank. **Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komusubi. 3.) Makuuchi: The top division (of six) in professional sumo wrestling. This division comprises over 40 wrestlers who are ranked according to their ability. At the top of the division are the titleholders/champions (sanyaku), which consists of the Yokuzuna, Ozeki, Sekiwake, and Komusugi ranks. Promotion and regulation within the Makuuchi ranks is based on kachikoshi (majority of wins) and makekoshi (majority of losses). Ebi-yama is part of this division, but he is at the lowest rank within the division (the Komusugi). **Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makuuchi#Makuuchi. ================================================================================= �ǂ������I�@�ǂ������I�@�ǂ������I�@�ǂ������I Dosukoi!

Ryokan: A traditional Japanese inn dating back to the Edo period (1600-1868). They are found all over Japan today, especially in scenic areas (such as in the mountains or by the sea) and can be quite pricey. A ryokan is characterized by its traditional Japanese atmosphere, which includes tatami-matted rooms, sliding doors, futons, communal baths, and traditional Japanese gardens. The inn usually provides a yukata (informal summer kimono) for the guests to wear around the premises. Dinner and breakfast are included with the overnight stay. These meals (called Kaiseki) are generally very elaborate and include seasonal and regional specialties of Japanese food. **Source: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2029.html. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryokan_%28inn%29. 2.) Okami: A hostess or landlady at a ryokan. An okami is the person responsible for waiting on and taking care of the ryokan guests. She also acts as a manager for the inn. The role of the okami is often handed down generation through generation in the family. Kaede-san is an okami in training, and someday she will inherit the ryokan and carry on the family tradition. An okami must master the strict rules of etiquette and the art of hospitality in order to be a successful hostess. An okami's duties include greeting the guests and showing them to their rooms, serving the food, and being at their beck and call whenever they need them. They are also often in charge of the inn's financial matters. **Source: http://www.ryokan.or.jp/english/okami/index.html. ============================================================================= �m���N�O�n [Half a year ago] Kaede: �݂��...

Will Everyone in the Universe Yield a Profit??" �i�ȁFVISTA�j(by Going Under Ground) (Song: "VISTA") ================================================================================= **Cultural Notes: ================= 1.) Kansai dialect: The Kansai dialect (or Kansai-ben) is a distinct GROUP of related Japanese dialects found in the Kansai (or Kinki) region of Japan (the south-central region of Japan's main island, Honshu). The group contains the dialects of Kyoto, Kobe,�@Ise, Nara, Wakayama, and Osaka. Osaka-ben, however, is the dialect that typifies the group and is therefore the dialect that will be discussed the most here. The shoe seller and his wife in this stage both clearly use Osaka-ben, as do several other characters in OTO2. Kansai-ben is characterized by its thick, rough-sounding nature. Outside the region, standard-Japanese speakers tend to view Kansai-ben as either rough, loud, threatening, ignorant-sounding, quaint, loving, or amusing. Kansai-ben is often used in manga, anime, and video games to represent non-standard characters, and is closely associated with humor because most comedians in Japan are from Osaka. It is also a popular "gangster" dialect used by the yakuza, or Japanese mafia. Differences between Kansai-ben and standard Japanese are numerous. There are differences in basic composition, inotation, grammar, and vocabulary.�@I will not outline them all here, but I will list a few of the most basic differences, as well as the ones that occur the most often in this stage. I will use romaji for those that don't know how to read hiragana or kanji. The differences between Kansai-ben and standard Japanese include: * Words are often contracted in Kansai-ben: yoku��you, chigau=chau, soreja=honja, hontou=honma * The copula (desu) is "ya": da=ya * The use of the "-hen" ending, instead of -masen: wakarimasen=wakahen * -han instead of -san as a honorific suffix: akemi-san=akemi-han * The use of "akan", which is used in place of dame or ikenai * totemo=metcha ("very") * The sentence final particle "ne" is "naa" in Kansai-ben * "uchi" is often used as a personal pronoun in Kansai-ben (And many, many more variations. Visit the websites below for more differences. They're very informative!) **Examples of other characters from anime, manga, or video games that speak using Kansai-ben: Kawachi from Yakitate!! Japan, Kero-chan from Card Captor Sakura, Osaka Naru from Sailor Moon, Caldina from Magic Knight Rayearth, Shizuru from Mai-HIME, Ichimaru Gin from Bleach, Konno Mitsune from Love Hina, and too many others to name here. **Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansai-ben. http://www.nihongoresources.com/language/dialects/kansaiben.html. http://lyberty.com/encyc/articles/osaka-ben.html. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KansaiRegionalAccent. ================================================================================ �m�C�≮�@���Ï���n "Shoe wholesale store - Zaiko Company" Santarou: ���[�肢�܂��Ắ[ Eh... now we start to calculate with... �d����T�O�O���~�ȁ[�� Stocking is 5,000,000 yen, plus ���M��Q�O���~�ȁ[�� Cost of fuel and light is 200,000 yen, plus �ƒ��P�T���~�ȁ[�� Rent is 150,000 yen, plus �J�c����Q�O���~�ł́H Cost of my hairpieces is 200,000 yen, which equals? �p�`�@�p�` (sound of abacus) Wife: �c������ĉ�����{�P�[�I�I What's the "cost of your hairpieces", idiot-!! �h�S�b �m���Á@�R���Y�i�R�U�j�C�≮�n [Zaiko Santarou (36 years old): Shoe wholesale store (owner)] Wife: ����ȕςȃX�j�[�J�[��ʂɎd�����...

Aim for the Island of Oni!!" �i�ȁF���N�n�[�g�j(by Home Made Kazoku) (Song: "Shounen Haato/Boy Heart") =================================================================================== **Cultural Notes: ================= 1.) Momotarou: Momotarou (Peach Boy) is an old and very well-known Japanese folktale about a boy who was born from a giant peach. An old, childless woman and her husband find the giant peach floating down a river and discover the boy inside of it. The couple name him "Momotarou" (from momo, meaning "peach" and tarou, meaning "eldest son"). Momotarou grew up to a be a strong, young boy. But then, one day, oni (demons or orgres) attack their village and Momotarou decides to set off on a journey to defeat the oni. The old woman makes some kibidango (millet dumplings) for Momotarou to take with him and he sets off. Along the way, Momotarou meets a dog, monkey, and pheasant, and helps them out by giving each of them one of his kibidango. The animals then decide to help Momotarou out by accompanying him on his journey. When they arrive at Onigashima (the "Island of Oni"), Momotarou and his animal companions attack and defeat the oni (the dog by biting, the monkey by clawing, and the pheasant by pecking). The oni apologize and surrender to Momotarou, who brings back lots of treasure for his family and lives happily ever after. The folktale may have originated in the Edo period. It is very popular and has been the inspiration for Japanese movies, manga, books, and songs. **Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momotarou. 2.) Okayama: The capital city of Okayama prefecture in the Chuugoku region (westernmost region of Honshuu, the largest island of Japan). The folktale of Momotarou may have originated there, so this is why elderly Momotarou's last name is Okayama in OTO2. **Source: http://apike.ca/japan_okayama_prefecture.html 3.) Oni: Monsters of Japanese folklore which are similar to Western demons, ogres, or trolls. They are most often portrayed as huge, hideous monsters with wild hair, large claws, and two demon horns growing out of their heads. Oni are often shown wearing a tiger-skin loincloth and carrying a large club. The Japanese often hold yearly ceremonies to drive out oni and, in the game of tag, the person who is "it" is called "oni." Although originally regarded as being evil, oni now seem to also serve the role in contemporary culture as a protective guardian that drives off bad luck. **Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oni_%28Japanese_folklore%29. =================================================================================== �m�[��������n [Evening Sun Town Town Hall] �N���� Pension Dept.

Endure it, Endure it, Howl!!" �i�ȁF�C����X�j(by mihimaru GT) (Song: "Kibun Joujou/The Best Feeling") ==================================================================================== **Cultural Notes: ================= 1.) Bentou: A packed meal, usually lunch, which comes in a bentou box that has internal dividers and usually several stacked layers of food. The food in a bentou box usually consists of rice, fish or meat, and pickled or cooked vegetables. They are often very elaborate and are made to be aesthetically pleasing by placing different colors of food together and garnishing them. The box is then wrapped artfully in a cloth. Although bentou are widely available at convenience stores all over Japan, it is still considered an essential skill of a Japanese housewife to make a delicious and appealing bentou for her family. As in this stage, bentou are often made for boys as a romantic gesture. **Sources: http://www.airandangels.com/bentobox/intro.html. (this is a really awesome site that is all about bentou boxes) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bento. 2.) Werewolves in Japan: Werewolves, in general, have their roots in old European folklore and are featured prominently in European legend and fiction. Therefore, the concept of a "werewolf" is an imported one in Japan and not a native one. However, Japan does have its own mythical, wolf-like creature known as the kitsune (fox), which is a popular subject of traditional folklore. The kitsune is most often depicted as an intelligent and magical being that is usually a trickster, but can also be depicted as a benevolent guardian or lover. Like the European werewolf, the kitsune can take on human form, but, unlike the werewolf, it usually takes on the form of a beautiful woman or young girl and does not need a full moon to transform. Also, werewolves are usually humans that have become cursed that way, whereas kitsune are usually just magical spirits that have the ability to change forms (as opposed to being cursed). There are more differences between the two creatures, but I will not outline them here. A thorough Google search reveals that there is practically NOTHING about distinctly "Japanese" werewolves, and that werewolves, in general, do not feature prominently in Japanese traditional culture or even popular culture. However, it does seem to be a common trait amongst "Japanese" werewolves in some manga, anime, and video games that werewolves change from human form to wolf form when they see a round, shiny, full moon-shaped object. Gorou, in this stage, obviously exhibits this trait, as does Dora Nikov from Doraemon. However, the werewolf character in the game Darkstalkers, Jon Talbain (or "Gallon" in Japanese), does not exhibit this tendency toward round, shiny objects, perhaps because he is more based on the traditional European werewolf. **NOTE: If anyone knows more about werewolves in Japan or knows of any other werewolf characters in anime, manga, and video games that change forms when they see round objects, please e-mail me. I haven't had much luck finding information about this on the Internet or in books, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I need sources.

Also, if you change the kanji for the "rou" in "Gorou" and change the first kanji "Go" to "Ga" so that it reads "Garou," it would change it to have the meaning "hungry wolf."

Comeback to That Girl!!" �i�ȁFMONKEY MAGIC�j(by Orange Range) (Song: "MONKEY MAGIC") ===================================================================================== **Cultural Notes: 1.) Journey to the West: One of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. The novel (often called "Adventures of the Monkey God") is a fictionalized account of the legends surrounding the Buddhist monk Xuanzang's pilgrimage to India during the Tang dynasty in order to obtain Buddhist religious texts called sutras. The Bodhisattva Guanyin, on instruction from the Buddha, gives this task to the monk and his three protectors in the form of disciples - namely Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing - together with a dragon prince who acts as Xuanzang's horse mount. These four characters have agreed to help Xuanzang as an atonement for past sins. This stage is very loosely based on Journey to the West and perhaps on the Japanese TV series based on the story, called Monkey. Sun Wukong (or Son Goku in Japanese), the Monkey King, is one of the most noted characters from the story. Being the strongest of the bunch, he has been the inspiration for numerous video game, anime, and manga characters. **Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey_to_the_west. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Wukong. ===================================================================================== �m�g�c�Ɓn [The Yoshida house] Fuuka: �}�}�[�I�I Mama-!! �}�}�I Mama!
