Perfume blog translations

December 25th, 2008 | Category: Japanese Blogs, Perfume | By: sentinel011

On top of translating for May’n, I’ll occasionally translate blog posts on staff blog posts in Perfume’s site. Since recently Perfume doesn’t blog since the beginning of 2008. I’ll start translations from 2009 onwards.

In the meantime, please enjoy the following translations of comments from kashiyuka, nocchi and a-chan written in Perfume Portfolio. Pardon the lousy picture quality, as those pictures were taken from my cellphone camera.

(For the moment, enjoy kashiyuka’s comment; updated on a-chan’s and nocchi’s transcripts!)

(P.S. There’s a looooong interview for all 3 girls prior to each hand written comment and a history report on Perfume in the Portfolio. It’s very wordy, and it’ll take me forever to transcript/translate it)

portfolio interviews are long but *must read* contents for all who love perfume. i wish someday whole interview section are translated for everyone.

I skimmed through really quickly, and it’s mostly their history and feelings for the past years… I think. Are you able to give a better summary of the content? Thanks!
