WOW!, Training and Lots of Abgrund!

Alright, first up tonight, we've got Kaichu! chapter 6. Mei no Naisho 7 is still in typesetting, typesetting's bottlenecking a bit due to a fantastic surprise we have in the works for you guys. It's worth it, trust me.
Kaichu! ch 6 DDL


So... Taru Yume... Here's the basic gist of things:
I have scans of 1, 3, and 5. I just bought and scanned the first one myself, 3 and 5 were floating around the net. I'm only going to translate this series if we can find the missing books though. If anyone spots a copy of 2 or 4 for sale, let me know right away before it gets sold: WOWscans@gmail.com

Here's the scans available at the moment:

Happy New Years!

Happy New Year's everyone!  I'm not sure if I'll be around on New Year's Day, so you get your celebratory gifts today instead!  First up, we've got a chapter from another Oto Nyan series for you, this one's called Ato no Matsuri (a festival themed chapter seems appropriate for NYE, right?).

Next, some Winter Comiket (C79) coverage...  So far we've only got two trap/TG themed doujins. One's a Milky Holmes parody doujin, I didn't like it terribly much, but it's got plenty of sex so it's possibly worth checking out...  There's also a Kyonko doujin that I didn't care for the art in, but I thought it had a really interesting premise.

And finally, some non-manga stuff I've been sort of compiling for a while.  I dunno how many of you guys listen to J-Core type stuff, but I've been working on getting discogs put together for some of the artists/circles I like.  The first one up is TANO*C...  All it's missing at the moment is the 'Eternal Nanosecond' solo album that came out at C79 and hasn't been uploaded yet.  That'll go in the folder as soon as it appears.  Coming up next in this musical side project are SharpnelSound and Mob Squad Tokyo stuff.

WOW! Comiket stuff is still coming out?

Alright, we've got a scanlation release coming soon, hopefully tonight, but I thought I'd get this upload thread out of the way first so we don't end up with too much clutter in that post.  It's a collection of comiket stuff, some trap related and some Vocaloid.  I'll go with the traps first.

We all know I like abgrund a lot, and these two uploads mean that we've got everything he put out this year, which is pretty nice.  Don't ask about Eien translations at the moment, the guy who did the first book may have already completed the script for part 2, so I'm just going to play 'wait and see' on that.  Also, I'm not really sure what the second one's a parody work of...

These uploads, if I'm not mistake, bring us back up to the point where all the c78 Vocaloid is available here.  There's three albums, I think Distorted Princess has been floating around for a while already though.  I think all three are definitely worth a listen, in any case.

WOW, it's Vocaloid and Download Mirrors

READ THIS PART:
If you were paying attention, you'd know that we've had issues with links getting reported and such.  I'm not 100% sure if it's manual reporting, as popular mediafire links seem to be coming down all over the place lately, so I wouldn't rule out some sort of bot-reporting or manual checks of links with a certain number of hits in a short time period.  Anyway the solution I've come to is just giving the general sharefolder link for WOW!scans in the mediafire, and also setting up a share folder on megaupload.  I'll still put up direct links with new releases, but bookmark these two, because they're where reuploads will show up when links break:

General WOW! housekeeping stuff:
I'd like to sub the Prunus Girl drama CD, but for a variety of reasons it would be a massive pain in the ass compared to working with manga.  If anyone wants to work on it as a joint release, email me and we can talk about exactly which aspects I'd need help with before considering it seriously any time soon.  I'll probably do something for it translation wise anyway, but not till the very very end of my to do list.
We're looking for Mei no Naisho raws.  If anyone has a copy they could scan or somehow ran across raws online (I couldn't find any when I looked ;_;) It's be awesome if you could share.  So far volume one is out by another group (find em on mangahelpers), and it's a really cute story, so I'd like to get the ball rolling on it again.

Vocaloid:
Yeah, yesterday I said I had something to share, and I do.  It's the four disc compilation album from comiket that you may have seen me mention at some point.  Since it's four discs, and it uses Miku, Rin, Len, and possibly more, and the musical styles change from song to song, AND it's a compilation of works be different artists, I think it has something for everyone.  Definitely check it out.  External link for this one, since tora.to already messes up tags a bit, I don't want to mangle them further and then re upload:
http://tora.to/blog/454815.htm

Also, holic is uploading some stuff, I think all the comiket albums are reposts of stuff I've already shared here (with 90% more mangled tags...), but he's sharing some Voc@loid M@ster stuff as well.  Holic does garble his tags and album names pretty badly, but it's still worth sharing his blog link with ya:

Prunus Girl Status Update and More c78 Vocaloid

So, since I know a lot of people are waiting (im)patiently for more translations of Prunus Girl, and I promised to keep everyone in the loop so that you don't get worried that things are going to get forgotten again, I figured you could use a rough schedule for the next chapter or two.  Barring any surprises, I'd expect chapter 14 by late Tuesday or sometime Wednesday.  15 will hopefully be done sometime this coming weekend.  After that I'll probably be dying for another few days of rest from translating again, so I won't try to project anything specific for chapter 16.  After that it may be time for another abgrund book (Eien 2, I'm looking at you) for a change of pace.  Also, someone at desuchan's /tr/ bought and uploaded one of abgrund's Taru Yume books, so maybe that'll help tide you all over:

On the Vocaloid front, something just recently got uploaded from c78 that may excite a lot of people...  The picture for this post is the cover from "Centralia," and album full of Rin-rock.  I love Miku, but it sure is nice to get some variety once in a while, and Rin's so suited to rock that you can't help but be happy when an album full of it falls into your lap all of a sudden.  External link for this one, since ALL the tags would be fucked if I tried a reupload for you guys:
http://community.livejournal.com/jdownload/1933863.html
There's also a single that's pretty darn good.  It's really trance-y, and has a heavier beat than a lot of the Vocaloid you hear coming out all the time, which is a nice change of pace too.  It's called "Sky Ended" and it's from "Frozen System Records."  Unfortunately it's only one song with 5 different mixes, but I definitely think it's worth the download:

Time to show some love for the Vocaloid stuff...

Alright, I'll probably do up more detailed reviews on these three re-uploads later (maybe not, we'll see what happens with my other projects to eat my motivation).  All three of them are brand new from comiket 78.  There's a sasakure.UK album, which is wonderful as usual, a P-Rhythmatiq which is also something that you'd expect to be good (and it meets those expectations).  The third one, however, is from Nation-One, someone most Vocaloid fans probably haven't heard of (I know I hadn't, at least).  While the first two are Miku-centric as usual, Nation-One uses some of the other Vocaloids...  that's not what caught my attention though.  The Nation-One album also has a couple of Eurobeat tracks on it, and that's a cheesy genre that's near and dear to my heart.  All three are definitely worth checking out.  I will warn you though, my computer garbled the labels on some of the tracks, since I haven't been able to get language packs working right since my boot drive crashed a while back.  Also, the P-Rhythmatiq album is in ogg vorbis format - I may convert that and offer it in .mp3 as well, but it'd be a direct conversion between the two anyway.  Enough of me talking, here's the folder link for these in case you don't want to dig down to it from the main share folder link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?vfm394caxn5v2

I'll also point out though, there's a few other fairly recent uploads in the main Vocaloid albums folder that people may or may not have noticed...  The Aku no Musume stage production OST is in there now, and it's a really nice, soothing listen.  The EXIT TUNES album with Ryu remixes is also a recent upload, and it has (imo) the all time best version of PoPiPo on it, along with a lot of other fun stuff.

Comiket 78 and what we're planning for the coming couple of weeks.

Well, at the moment we're probably two-ish days away from our next release, depending on a few factors.  The next thing coming down the line will be Prunus Girl chapter 13, and we'll probably do 14 and 15 immediately afterwards to catch people up to the raw scans, since the other group left everyone hanging for so long.  To tide you all over until things start releasing, I've got a trap folder for stuff from comiket 78 - I'm sure you all have places you're going to keep an eye on the doujins being scanned and uploaded from c78, but hardly any of them are labeling/announcing things as trap material, so I thought this might be a worthwhile thing to do.  So far there's three doujins: a new abgrund/udk project, some Final Fantasy Tactics parody doujin, and the fourth installation of Naburi.  If you don't want to have to dig around the general share folder to figure out where this stuff is showing up, it'll all be here:
