I'm excited to say that I wrapped some awesome freelance projects this year, and now I'm ready to take on my next one~
If you need someone with over 12 years experience translating and marketing Japanese media (video games, anime, manga, books), I'm your guy!
Let's talk~
I had the pleasure of being a special guest on the latest DF Retro Super Show! 🎉
Check it out y'all! 😁

Sometimes being freelance allows me to do uniquely cool things, and facilitating this dream match-up was one of them! 😁
It was an absolute delight working with @Chadtronic and @Makiko_Ohmoto. Being in the booth watching her work is something I'll never forget. It was magical.

山﨑たかし（父）が大昔にエアブラシで描いたロックマンXとR-TYPE IIのパッケージデザインの原画（R-TYPE IIは原画のポジ）も先日大掃除してたら出てきました！
デスクリムゾンのパッケージも担当していたので、それは複製も見つからず残念ですが、父が大仕事をした証なので見つかって良かったです！
After over a month straight of rainy days in Tokyo, I FINALLY had a day off with clear skies! 🥹🎉
Went for a ride into Saitama to Washinomiya Shrine to visit the Hiiragi twins again ❤️
Lucky Star is inching closer to its 20th anniversary, but its presence is still strong!
Fun fact about me:
I'm the guy in the red hat in the original photo. I was working at Digital Press at the time, and was helping James from the store side to make sure everything ran smoothly :)

"largest theft of labor in human history"
"make a complete mockery of the idea of 'fair use"
"significantly disrupt the employment of the very people who generated the data on which the foundation model was trained," "LLMs are a product that destroys its own supply chain"

Congratulations to everyone on the Manosaba team!
I really can't wait for y'all to see our work when the English localization comes out!! 😄
Hello, dear co-conspirators,
Thanks to all your loyal support, Magical Girl Witch Trials was selected for the Award for Excellence at the Japan Game Awards during Tokyo Game Show. Acacia will use the motivation from this award to deliver even more wickedness in various forms in the future.
Sincerely grateful,
Acacia

I commissioned super-talented @MayuYumemin for a print of Lumen & Joule from Azure Striker Gunvolt - both of whom I voice in the English versions of Inti’s various games/OVA’s etc!
These is no one in this world I would trust more to make the cutest possible Lumen and Joule ever! Thank you so much Mayu!! 💙💜
Lumen & Joule were my first ever voice over roles, and both mean so much to me! I’ve grown a lot since that first session, and every time they pop up I’m a new game, it’s been so cathartic to revisit and re-challenge my past self to see the growth✨
One day I hope I’ll get to sing some of her songs in English too!!
Go check out all of Mayu’s beautiful artwork (and streams!)💙💜
Magical Girl Witch Trials is another step closer to releasing the English localization!
I can't wait for y'all to enjoy/suffer because of our work 🥹
Localization Update
Greetings, co-conspirators.
Today, we bring you the latest update for the official English, Spanish, and French localizations of Magical Girl Witch Trials that are currently underway.
First, the good news:
Aside from some editing work, the translation of the game's script is complete in all three languages, and we are preparing to move onto quality assurance/bug-testing, adaptation of the UI, and actually programming the script into the game.
As we mentioned before, though, Re,AER, the company that houses the creative brand Acacia, was not originally involved in video game development at all when work on Magical Girl Witch Trials began. As such, the size of our dedicated programmer team is extremely small. While we're sure many are used to having localizations released without much wait, we kindly ask that you understand that we are working our hardest to release the new languages to you all while also ensuring that the quality is top-class.
The translation teams have worked directly with the original production team in order to create the best localization possible--one that will make you feel the worst.
We will update you as soon as we know when the release is scheduled for.
As a sign of our gratitude for your patience, we would like to show you a screenshot from the English, French, and Spanish versions. Please note that these screenshots are from an in-development build, and might differ from the final product.
Hope to torture you soon,
Acacia
