About Me

Bea Translates Things began when I wanted to translate Japanese songs - that aren't Arashi songs - and had no venue to publish them. I mostly translate old anime songs here, but now and then I'll do a new one just to change things up.

I studied Japanese for two-ish semesters in college and am studying it more intensively now in Japan. Translating songs I grew up with and are familiar with really helps my brain absorb Japanese since it's a form I'm already familiar with that I just kind of restructure in my brain. Since I'm still studying, I do go back and edit translations every now and then to reflect my progress. I take down all edits in the Notes section at the end of the lyrics though.
