AnimeLyrics.com Challenge 2013: NaAniTraMo Participation Thread
November 2013 will be the National Anison Translation Month!
Due to the overwhelming(?????) support of having the 3rd AnimeLyrics.com Challenge in a different format, we will take a leaf out of the thick NaNoWriMo book and adapt it as a month-long event of translating Japanese songs!
If you are a Lv.2 Contributor to AnimeLyrics and wish to officially enter the translation fest, please reply to this thread along with your song list (explained later).
To recap, here are the AL Challenge guidelines that were in the previous challenges but also applies here:
- The event starts when the clock strikes 12 midnight (00:00) on November 1 in your timezone. This means that different people will have different start and end times. Hence, your end time is before the strike of midnight on November 30th.
- Incomplete or double submissions do not count.
- Please do not simply put up lyrics that you have done beforehand (i.e. not on the day itself), that is against the spirit of this challenge.
- If the transliteration is still not up then you are allowed to put the translit before the event starts.
- Translations from the event are immune from Lyrics Correction for a month.
So, here are the rules for NaAniTraMo:
- You will have a specific target number of submissions (could be changed anytime before Nov 1) that is based on your translating capabilities. Reaching this target before Dec 1 is the objective.
- The lowest target number for this challenge is 24. There is no upper limit, but we advise you to not overestimate yourself.
- In addition, you are to provide a song list which items add up to roughly half your target number that you have set. This is your Compulsory Songs (CS) set and completing this would serve as some sort of mid-term goal.
- The rest of them is your Freechoice Songs (FS) set. This is a list of songs that you have not declared in your Compulsory list, and provided that the song is not in another person's CS list, it will count into your total when you submit the translation.
[ Confusing? e.g. for a target number 24, you may declare a CS of 15. Any song not in the 15 that you submit during November is counted as in your FS list, so submitting 9 FS lyrics in addition to completing your CS will complete the challenge, as CS + FS = TN.]
- The target number and compulsory songs list can be adjusted until November 1.
- If a song in your CS had been translated by a non-participant during the event, you will be notified through PM to attempt it within 3 days.
- If your t/l is judged to be superior, it will be put up on the site, which will count in your CS list.
- If your t/l is inferior, it will not be put up on the site, but will not be struck off your CS list.
- If you do not respond with a t/l in 3 days, your song will be struck off from the CS list.
- If you have not completed translating your CS list by the end of the month, a CS penalty will be imposed. A strucked off song (see above) counts as an incomplete attempt.
- The CS penalty requires TWO songs from your FS as makeweight, increasing your target number.
e.g. for a target number of 24 with a CS of 15, and you only did 11 out of the 15:
- You originally have a FS of 9, but covering the 4 unattempted songs will make it 13 and thus 11 + 13 = 24, but the CS penalty forces you to attempt another 4 songs so your target number will now be 11 + 13 + 4 = 28.
[ Simply put: for each song not done in your CS, you need to t/l two more undeclared songs to pass the challenge. ]
- This, and the advantage of booking a song for translation, is the reason why there needs to be two lists. And the more songs you book, the more work load you'll need to do, and the greater risk of having to do even more work from the unfinished booking list.
If you have further questions on the format, please don't hesitate to ask. For now, that's how we'll do the challenge for this year! I can't wait to get started.

I suppose we can put it under Doujin/KSL.
Oh, and I need a target number from you people too.
Re: AnimeLyrics.com Challenge 2013: NaAniTraMo Participation Thread
Two weeks to go! Unfortunately I need to scale back on my total number of attempts since... I don't have 50 songs to translate, let alone 100...

Also: I see 椿 塩音 plans to translate Tori no Uta, but I know for a fact that there's a translation already up on AL.com (since, er, I put it there). Is it kosher to retranslate things already on the site?
Eheh, caught xD I really like the song, so I wanna submit it under the jpop section- but it's all up to Azu to decide...

Sorry, I didn't mean to pick on you! I was just wondering what the policy was regarding songs that were already on the site.
Re: AnimeLyrics.com Challenge 2013: NaAniTraMo Participation Thread
Just one week to go until Nov 1! I'll put up my own list very very soon.
椿 塩音 you're not supposed to declare your FS. Also, I was gonna talk to you about attempting kuniuta when it's already up on anime and game and it's usually my job to put it on Lia's too, but section-workaround is another method to have different people translating the same song which I myself have done and will do. Then again, these cases are only when I personally think the submitted trans is not up to my own standards, and bp's take on kuniuta is good enough for me so I may ask you to change, unfortunately. I wouldn't recommend you t/ling Da-mae(Jun Maeda) stuff as a rookie in the first place, and I must be honest to you that I still don't get the song's true meaning despite singing it for almost 15 years.

Ha, and here I've got a full slate of Maeda Jun and Revo. Because I hate myself, apparently. When in mid-November I'm tearing all my hair out and wondering why I thought this was a good idea, you can say "I told you so."

Ouch, all that SanHora...
@AzureDark Yeah sure, I'll take it off.

Just a few hours before me and Rei start... and I feel kinda strangely relaxed with the whole thing. Previously there's this huge anticipation of the clock striking 12 and getting to work as soon as it goes. But, 2 songs everyday for the whole month, really a different kind of challenge.
I'm kinda jealous that bp and Rizu have a common theme to work on while I'm just chucking whatever I'm familiar with...
Re: AnimeLyrics.com Challenge 2013: NaAniTraMo Participation Thread

Re: AnimeLyrics.com Challenge 2013: NaAniTraMo Participation Thread
Man, I only just noticed that I completely missed that there were two songs off of Moira that had no translits on the site yet. Oops. I guess I know what I'm doing with two of my free-choice slots now!
Re: AnimeLyrics.com Challenge 2013: NaAniTraMo Participation Thread
As predicted, Rizu and bp are head-to-head now, finishing 1/4 of their work, just around the quarter point of the month!
I swear, the most fun thing of this challenge for me is calculating the progress percentage of you guys... (can anyone guess how it works?)
Re: AnimeLyrics.com Challenge 2013: NaAniTraMo Participation Thread
Is it still possible to participate? I can start now.
Re: AnimeLyrics.com Challenge 2013: NaAniTraMo Participation Thread
Re: AnimeLyrics.com Challenge 2013: NaAniTraMo Participation Thread
Well okay then, I suppose it is still possible to put up a 12/24 list.
Re: AnimeLyrics.com Challenge 2013: NaAniTraMo Participation Thread
Sweet! Will start tomorrow after the school bell rings! Lol
Re: AnimeLyrics.com Challenge 2013: NaAniTraMo Participation Thread
Crap, I either failed to realize that five of the Yanagi Nagi songs were up on the site already (I thought I checked!) or they were put up somewhere in between when I made my list and now. Can I strike those from my list with no penalty, given that I had more compulsory songs than I needed in the first place?
Re: AnimeLyrics.com Challenge 2013: NaAniTraMo Participation Thread
@animeyay when did you do those Yanagi Nagi songs, I don't remember putting them up.
Uhhh this is quite complicated... I'd have to rescore you because of this. Not your fault though... Lemme think about it.
Re: AnimeLyrics.com Challenge 2013: NaAniTraMo Participation Thread
@AzureDark If I remember correctly, they were lyrics requests at some point of time, lol
Re: AnimeLyrics.com Challenge 2013: NaAniTraMo Participation Thread
WE ARE HALFWAY THROUGH NaAniTraMo!
Doesn't bode well for me who's only done a third of my songs. The rest of you are showing good progress, brilliant! Don't be like me who's just bought Dragon's Crown making me having even less of a probability to spend the weekend translating -_-;;;;
But listen up guys: there's a hidden rule which I'm not gonna reveal much but is fairly easy to find out:
-This time around there's gonna be a clear winner for this challenge.
-You need to always check the progress post! Shortened URL: bit.ly/16rS6DJ
