Robo-G: Subbing Project (Complete)

[earth_colors]

Robo-G (Toho, 2012) is a movie written and directed by Yaguchi Shinobu (Water Boys, Swing Girls). In this film, three employees of a small town appliance manufacturing company were instructed to develop a bipedal humanoid robot to help promote their products. They were only given 3 months to work on it, and so far, all they could accomplish was to make it walk a few steps. Then, an unfortunate accident takes place, leaving the robot permanently destroyed. With the Robot Expo only a week away, the desperate team decides to secretly hire anyone who can fit into the robotic suit and pretend to be the robot. Somehow, they end up hiring a stringy old grandpa named Suzuki. Finally, the day of the Expo arrives. Suzuki-san dons the metallic suit and is told to follow three simple instructions: go onstage, wave to the cameras, and then leave. Their harmless little scheme seems to be going smoothly, that is, until the "robot" decides to take things up a notch...

Robo-G stars Mickey Curtis as Suzuki Shigemitsu, a 73 year old crotchety retiree who pretends to be a robot called "New Shiokaze"; Hamada Gaku (as Kobayashi Hiroki), Chan Kawai (as Ota Koji), and Kawashima Junya (Nagai Shinya) as the three members of the robotics team; and Yoshitaka Yuriko as Sasaki Yoko, a robot otaku who gets smitten by New Shiokaze.

I would like to thank you too. Been waiting for an English Sub for this movie. Glad to hear that it's finishing soon. Gambatte!

[earth_colors]

You're welcome. It's out now. Enjoy!

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks! Very good movie!

But, why you want to translate the song?
It's a song of famous group Styx:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styx_(band)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Roboto
Yes, it's a cover version, but still in English. As well as an original one.

Yeah... Where is my youth?

[earth_colors]

No, not the styx song.
I meant, the enka song featured in the movie. :)

great job on the subbing!

any chance on doing the 720p version? (re-time)

Re: hd version

[earth_colors]

It didn't match?
Daymmmm.
I'll see what i can do.

Re: hd version

[(Anonymous)]

yup for me it was ~1min difference from the source @ asiatorrents. i resynced it but when i resampled resolution, many text disappeared (i.e. out of scrren) and i got to edit them individually.

Re: hd version

[earth_colors]

i'm making a retimed version too.
once i post it, pls dl it to see if it works for you, too.

Re: hd version

[(Anonymous)]

thanks alot. hopefully it should not take you as much time as i did. haha.
gotta say i paritally(barely) understood the difficulty of typsetting before i tried it out myself ytd.

Re: hd version

[earth_colors]

Oops. what i dled was the bluray.720p version.
It works fine with me.
May I ask what file did you use?

Re: hd version

[(Anonymous)]

same lor. its just the ass that i tried though.
(wonder why there was even a difference to begin with when we are using the same source)

Re: hd version

[earth_colors]

I used the jp subs that furransu uploaded for the bluray-720p-yyets and the bdrip.
They have identical timing. I didn't change the timing bec. it works on both of those files.
It also works for the dvdrip-adios file.
Was it really around 1 minute difference on your part?

Re: hd version

[k1s3k1]

try downloading the latest VLC, the .ass sub works fine with the 576p or 720p bdrips at asiatorrents.

Finished watching this last night -- very cute and funny, and I loved Takenaka Naoto's cameo, straight out of Shall We Dansu. Many, many thanks to the whole team for your excellent subs. A most impressive job! -- gankooyaji

Re: Robo-Ji

[earth_colors]

Thanks for dropping by, gankooyaji!
Seems a Yaguchi Shinobu movie is not complete without Takenaka-san in it. :)
Have you seen Bread of Happiness already?

Re: Robo-Ji

[(Anonymous)]

Yes I have and I completely forgot to thank you all for your excellent subs on that one. I'm such a sucker for those "great food will cure anything" movies! Plus I learned a very interesting word, 素朴, which would appear from the dictionary to have a rather negative connotation, but is used very positively for the bread. Japanese has to be the most subtle language in the world! So again many thanks for your hard work -- it is much appreciated. Really looking forward to 孤独のグルメ...

thank you! ^^

Thank you!!!

I guess, you forgot to translate the motto of Kimura Denki company. It has been written on the corporate van used by "engineers" :)
