ZUN's new UFO interview
« on: January 24, 2010, 12:35:57 PM »
I'm curious how many of you have come across this. Because I only found it recently.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9422759

Pretty much ZUN is once again talking all about the ideas behind UFO and the charaters that are within it. Course there's a lack of translation for it right now. (Translation for this would be nice. ^^)

Other than that, the god of beer and Touhou is lookin just as classy as usual.

Other than that like I said before if anyone here is interested, you can try to come up with a translated transcript which would be helpful to everyone.

Anyways, feel free to discuss.

I don't know why, but ZUN looks a lot healthier in this interview.

I'm eagerly awaiting the translation too. At times though he looks like he didn't want to be there to me

Pretty much the only thing I could pick out was that Ichirin is little more than a hitbox for Unzan, or something to that effect.

Also, he was trying to invoke the feel of the older games through the music, I think.

Oh yeah, also I THINK he said that Murasa is wearing shorts. I'm not 100% on that so don't quote me on it. However, I'm more sure that he said he was going to give her a mini-skirt but changed it because he thought that would seem a little too perverted.

So ZUN actually makes that much money from Touhou that he can finally afford food?

So I gave it a try to put subs on it.

...I cannot believe I spent more than a half day to finish subbing this 10-minute video.

【Eng Sub】 ZUN Interview on UFO 1 of 3
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otIrJdoaITI
Part 2: N/A
part 3: N/A

Sorry, the rest is yet to be done, I'll be on it soon though. Not very soon, but soon.
Oh, and I'd be glad if you have a look on this too.

Woah. Good job.

So Ichirin is really just a hitbox. And Unzan is shy.

Also, I take back what I said about watching it after my training. It's taking me too long to buffer the whole video from Nico :V

Wow. So THAT'S why Kogasa's third card is called that.

(Also, is Zun really quietly spoken or is that just the way Japanese people usually are in interviews?)

The latter.

And I did see that Reimu thing you subbed earlier. Nice job doing that too. Can't wait to see the rest of this interview.

Annotations. Maybe someone could hard-sub and release as a video. Perhaps not.
