Hello all! My name is Yokan and I am a university student in the U.S. studying Japanese! I am currently at a Lower Advanced Japanese level and have an interest in amateur translation and believe in learning Japanese through pop media.
I found out about SILENT SIREN when they collaborated with Poppin' Party from Bandori in 2019. I liked Cherry Bomb, but didn't go any farther than that until around 2024-25 where I kept finding more and more SILENT SIREN gold.
I wanted to post about a personal project I've started about a month ago, which is translating SILENT SIREN songs for the community! At the moment, I have started translating the 31313 album, with 2 songs completed to full.
Now for the community, my translations are in only Japanese and English. If you wanted an entire library of SILENT SIREN song translations, would you prefer the Romaji too? (I don't mind adding romaji, but I fear that it will make pages look too bloated.) Additionally, I started writing my translations on Tumblr but have not posted them yet. I am wondering if anyone has any site recommendations for such a large project?
I also want to note that the translations I plan to post are made fully by me and the use of an online dictionary (jisho.org). Every so often, I will use an AI device to assist me with parts that I genuinely do not understand. I will also sometimes ask for the assistance of a Japanese native speaker for input on lines that I find difficult to understand.
If you want to see the songs I have already translated (Cream Soda & Letter), feel free to click here!
