Re: Facts about KS
At least three of the five endings involve the girl saying or directing something to Hisao in some way in the good endings (Hanako kisses him, Emi asks him what he wants to do today, and Rin asks him what that feel means)

Interesting. Doesn't change Google's translation though. Dunno why you're pointing it out.Mirage_GSM wrote:Wrong.Xanatos wrote:Fact: Google Translate renders the Japanese character for "ha" (as in HA-nako) as "blister" when translated to English...So, bit of a dark joke there.
Hanako's name does not even contain the character "ha".
It is written as 華子, which contains the chatacters "hana" (flower) and "ko" (child)
I know how it's written.@OtakuNinja: I googled it.

As someone who knows Japanese, I can confirm that her name means flower-child. What "ha"-character did Google use?

The rest came from an old thread from the forum. From 2009. And I dunno. I know the character isn't actually in the name. I was just going by the letters to make the joke work.

Re: Facts about KS
I think its mentioned somewhere that Yamaku doesn't really translate (apparently it literally has no meaning, along with Iwanako).Xanatos wrote:I just wondered if Yamaku translated to anything.OtakuNinja wrote:You google way too much weird stuff.

I believe what it said was "As long as it sounds foreign"
I write take a look, would you kindly?
I also draw, kind of.

I believe it was a reference to a mistranslation from another fanproject.I think its mentioned somewhere that Yamaku doesn't really translate (apparently it literally has no meaning, along with Iwanako).
And on the subject of translations....
Hakamichi can be translated as "road to the grave".

Re: Facts about KS
According to Google, Iwanako means "say no" and Yamaku means "Congestion film".I think its mentioned somewhere that Yamaku doesn't really translate (apparently it literally has no meaning, along with Iwanako).

The thread I got the drug bit from mentioned that Yamaku could somehow be translated into "pile of inferiors" or something...*cough*OtakuNinja wrote:According to Google, Iwanako means "say no" and Yamaku means "Congestion film".I think its mentioned somewhere that Yamaku doesn't really translate (apparently it literally has no meaning, along with Iwanako).

Re: Facts about KS
The problem about Japanese is that you can give any polysyllabic word at least a dozen different meanings depending on which Kanji you use to write it. Most of them would be extremely obscure readings that wouldn't even occur even to a Japanese native speaker without the use of a dictionary.
