Soft and Others..."only one book in this world" - Kenji - 05-02-2006
Since last night, I started translating "Soft and Others". I'm not only reading it. I translate the contents and correctly input them to Microsoft Office Word.
First, I translated "The Cleaning Machine". It was a truly "short" story, so translation was easy. Japanese title is ''掃除機"(Sojiki). I liked that ending. It was sounds like "The Twilight Zone".
Now I'm translating "Ratman". Japansese title is "ネズミ男"(Nezumi otoko). After I finished translating all stories, I print out those contents to make one book.
"Soft and Others" is not released in Japan yet. So this book will be only one book in the world! I mean....it's only one Japanese edition.

Interesting. Are the Japanese translations usually not as well done as you would like?

It was Soft and Others that got me started. Let your friends read your translation and get them hooked too!

No no no.....
I mean, normally when I'm reading English books, sometimes my translations are noncommittal. :p But this time, I decided to correctly translate for making the book.
