Updates archive

2023

  1. This site now supports user preference for reduced motion. I also cleaned up some dead links and added a cooking section.

  2. Posting a new Iceman translation that I was hoping to have done for Halloween, but DA's birthday will do instead... D is for Dracula AND Daisuke ๐Ÿฆ‡ (the PV is required viewing in DA fam fandom xo)

    Also, fixed an alignment issue with ruby annotations (no idea when that happened, but it only affected a couple of pages anyway).

  3. Updated my 11ty version from 0.0.something to 2.0 (oops yes i have been away for a while). I think the only thing that broke was the date display format, which was annoying, but fixable. Gotta double-check everything with the HTML validator tho.

    New access translation just dropped!

    There's also some new widgets and quizzes on the about page. Probably going to move the quizzes to a separate page sometime in the future.

    I think that's about it for now byeeeeee

2022

  1. SIREN'S MELODY translation is up (happy belated bday daichan)! I'm obsessed with the production on the single mix of this song it's so echoeyyy

    Also, there's now a little imood widget at the bottom of the homepage. Will I remember to update it? Maybe.

  2. Hi! I've been meaning to update for a while, but out of all the years, it's safe to say 2022 is one of them. Anyway, I have a new Iceman page and song up ๐Ÿ†’

  3. some new L'Arc lyrics (ๅคใฎๆ†‚้ฌฑ) before summer ends - same song, two versions with slightly different lyrics. (I prefer the single version for the ~*drama*~, although I love the heavenly album)

    I had to update my 11ty templates as well because this is the first time I've translated a song where a) both English and Japanese are in the title b) the single/album title is in Japanese. Kind of surprising it took like 30 songs for either of those things to happen? Anyway gotta apply those lang attributes correctly โ˜†

    Also, not sure what was going on with the Neocities servers yesterday, but it seems to be fixed now!

  4. took a bit of a break, but I have a new abingdon boys school translation up now!

2021

  1. Images now lazy load via HTML attribute rather than a script.

  2. New TMR translation ๐ŸŽ„

    The album art for Burnin' X'mas by T.M.Revolution, where he wears an extravagant red costume made from fabrics resembling velour and crushed velvet. He wears a cape with a large collar and poses with a golden sword in his hand. His headpiece has a crown of red roses and a large feather-like white trim on top.

  3. Rebuilt the site using 11ty/eleventy! I wanted to learn to use a static site generator, so this site became the guinea pig - but it turns out having templating functionality will make it much easier to update this site in future! I particularly like that I can just pop lyrics in a Markdown file, and my custom filter will mark up the stanzas correctly before it renders in the lyric layout.

    Even though I just updated every page on the site it doesn't actually look like anything's changed (I kept the resulting HTML the same). It's better for me though! I had to manually move these updates to the archive page before, and now it does it โ˜†automaticallyโ˜† ๐Ÿ˜Ž

  4. New Laruku translation is up ๐ŸŒˆ (i'm gonna translate cher lloyd by cher lloyd...)

  5. Added a Stamps page, tidied the Links page a bit, and made some small CSS fixes.

  6. Updated the Fanlistings page and fixed a Firefox-specific bug with the tooltips.

  7. Added some new translations for abingdon boys school, access and L'Arc~en~Ciel. A tiny CSS update too โ˜†

  8. Three new artist pages added: abingdon boys school, Do As Infinity and L'Arc~en~Ciel.

  9. The YGO DM song translations are all done! ๐ŸŽ‰

  10. Added a Fanlistings page. I spent some time creating custom tooltips for the buttons too ๐Ÿ™‚ I used to join a lot of these back in the mid-2000s, and also ran several of them myself for a couple of years.

    I also made some small fixes: the footer now sits at the bottom of the page regardless of the height of the content, and markup of the updates section has been improved to make it more semantic.
    (this update is very meta, I know ๐Ÿ˜Ž)

  11. added the YGO season 4 translations!

  12. i'm alive Season 3 song translations are up on the YGO page!

2020

  1. the world's tiniest CSS update

  4. Added a page for Daisuke Asakura and a translation of COSMIC RUNAWAY. Also made some typography fixes.

  5. Today is T.M.Revolution's 24th anniversary so I've added a translation of LIGHT MY FIRE! ๐ŸŽ‰

  6. small markup improvements to the site. Also archived some of the older updates to save space ๐Ÿ™‚
