back to posting music snippets! today we have 小さなピース (little pieces) from the mahoyaku musicals. a funky tune that jumps between 5/4 and 3/4 with disjointed oompahs in the accompaniment lines means it is pretty difficult to plaまほステy, but really cool when it comes together 🧙 #まほやく #まほステ

Rogue warriors of the forest tribes are known to ambush travellers, not to steal wealth but to deter outsiders from entering their domain.

Speaking as someone who mainly translates light novels (as opposed to other media that are constrained by space or character limits), I really value the cadence and tempo of a passage, so I try to preserve the same feeling I get when I read as when I write, but sometimes "dictionary-flipping"->

The pious Pen Baedd {buy-th} make their homes amongst the forest. They worship all that is natural and resist the changes creeping into their land.
