Project Sekai Eng Translation [The Power Of Unity] Event Story

Project Sekai Eng Translation [The Power of Unity] Event Story

I’m done with VBS’s latest event, and the final story for their first arc. I wasn’t planning on ranking since I was tired after ranking hard in EN’s STRAY BAD DOG, but I ended up getting 30k title, yay!

I’ve been waiting for so long for VBS’s MEIKO to sing, and I’m so satisfied that she sang right at VBS’s first arc end.

To be honest, I haven’t read Bout Beside You and Awakening Beat, so I cannot say much. However, if I have to compare between this and STRAY BAD DOG; SBD is Akito’s solo character arc, while The Power of Unity is VBS’s arc. I think VBS has solo character arc up until Bout Beside You, and they began to properly move as a team from Same Dream, Same Color.

I’m looking forward to how Vivid BAD SQUAD will develop from here on out.

GO BEYOND THE LEGEND!!

My boy Akito.... Comparing to him during SBD event, he now looks so mature...

Tweet synopsis translation:

"Akito realizes that a certain "atmosphere" is a vital key in order to surpass RAD WEEKEND as he watches the event's video. At that moment, Len wants to hold an event in SEKAI...."

That one reason why luz is my new favorite xD. His songs are so cool, but he is just a total airhead in real life. This is from Amatsuki’s Valentine’s stream. This is my first time making GIFs like this, I hope it’s fine ;;

I’m recently into Utaite after so many years of knowing them. I already knew them from around 2010 or 2013 since my close friend is a big fan of Utaites and they often talked to me about them. So I know about the big names, like Soraru and Mafumafu. However, back then I sort of refrained from hearing cover songs since I strongly thought that Vocaloid songs should only be sung by Vocaloids. Of course, I’m not like that now. My first favorite will always be Amatsuki <3.</p>

And also, I just saw it. Thank you for 200 followers!!

Hoo boy. I've been waiting for this. Nene VS Toya.

The event will be a mixed event. The characters will be Emu, Nene, Toya, Akito, and Miku WxS. Sadly, it's limited gacha. Damn you Colorful Palette.

Tweet Synopsis Translation:

"Nene was eager to win the prize in a local game competition held in a game center. While she was hyped, she met a familiar face, Toya, who was also eager for the grand prize..."

I just had to state my opinion, I'm sorry.

=================

ABOUT REVIVAL MY DREAM BEING CANCELLED IN EN SERVER

=================

First off, disclaimer: I do not represent another Proseka player or anything. I simply wanted to state my opinion about this event. And I'm fully aware that I might lose lots of followers for this.

=====

I am a Project Sekai player in both EN and JP server. I admit, I haven't played this game for a long time. I played EN during its release date, and JP during their collab with Story of Evil series.

I started playing Project Sekai not just because of the Vocaloid music, but also because of the said rich story and characters. (Although, I admit I started playing the JP server because I love Story of Evil).

Revival My Dream is one of my most waited event because I love costumes, especially Rui's. So, I was really disappointed to see it got cancelled and even the event got fully banned on EN. At least we got Showtime Ruler.

The official announcement said that the story and gacha contain inappropriate things. I believe they were pointing towards Emu and Nene's cards. Honestly, I don't think they were made by the intention for any kind of cultural appropriation :/.

But what I want to talk more was about the story. I was confused as to why they said the story was inappropriate, so I read it in the JP server.

======

Apparently, the story in question was the script that Rui made when he was small. The JP title is: 森の人と町の人. (The kanji should be right). It literally means "The Forest People and the City People".

The script was as follows:

The Forest People and City People were always fighting. City People thought the Forest People were barbaric and uncouth while Forest People thought City People were liars and bad people.

Tsukasa played the role of... let's say, a supervisor. He was called to the city to guard the forests perimeter to prevent the dwellers from entering the city. He was a high-ranking official, let's just say. Of course, at the time he also had the same mindset with the rest of the citizens; Forest People are barbaric.

During one of his ventures, he met Emu, who played a role of a girl from the forests. She was different from her people, as she thought that not all city folks are bad, since Tsukasa wasn't. After spending some time together, Emu discovered that Tsukasa actually wanted a peace talk between the two sides. After some joint effort from Tsukasa and Emu, the two sides started to going along well and even be friends with one another. As a sign of peace, Tsukasa and Emu decided to gather treasures from both sides and keep them for safety. The action was agreed by both sides and now the peace was fulfilled.

However, a certain evil prime minister was not happy about this. In fact, they intentionally spread the rumors about both sides being bad people so they could get the "black oil" in the forest. And so, they had Rui, the minister's secretary, to abolish the peace. Rui accepts. He planned to kidnap Tsukasa and take the treasures so people's trust to him will go downhill and both sides will fight again. His plans succeeded, and Tsukasa was captured.

Of course, people became angry and felt betrayed. Emu, who believes that something bad must have happened to Tsukasa, went to save him. She went to the mansion, but found out that the tree's branch she used to climb in order to see him was cut down. Desperate to call for help, Tsukasa opened the window to let Emu in, and Emu gathered her courage to leap into the mansion. With Tsukasa rescued and the treasures returned to their places, Rui's plans failed and he was banished. After that, both Forest People and City People reclaimed the peace and now they live side-by-side happily.

================

Now for my opinion.

To be honest, I don't see how this story is a controversy. In fact, it promotes peace and harmony between two different conflicting sides. Even the prejudice they had before were just baseless rumors spread by evil people.

If people cancelled this just because of the beginning of the story, then they are very short-sighted. They don't see the moral behind the story, only seeing things from the surface. Please guys, just why :( .

As a translator and someone who understands Japanese, I know how difficult it is to translate from one language to another, however, for me, it is also our job to try to make the translations fit for the market? Cancelling the whole event just from a fragment is just a bad move and unprofessional for me. Sega's move was just.... Nope.

For the said gacha cards, maybe you can redraw? I mean, Sega, you even said that there will be different costumes for the 3DMV for Showtime Ruler.

========

Of course, ranting will not change anything, now that they already decided to just erase the event.

=====

To be more savage:

Don't expect people from all over the world to follow one standard of culture.

======

That's all from me. Sorry for the long, boring, and rant post.

Thank you!

Karapposan.
