Yaten's Love Song - NOTES

  • This story was written by Jennifer Wand ([email protected]) and I was lucky enough to get her permission to use this story on my page.

  • Jennifer was having some problems with plagrism and this story, and was very upset about the fact that she put so much effort into this story, and then had someone rip it off and take credit for it (you can find out more about it at her page), and I was asked to mention this on my page and here I have. Crystal Tokyo fully supports Jennifer Wand.

    Story Notes

    Shinsei means "new star" in Japanese.

    Gender pronouns don't mean much when relating to the Starlights, but "it" sounds bad. So just pretend they're neutral. I used male pronouns almost exclusively, even in Starlight form, for reasons discussed in the 'fic.

    My apologies for the lack of accents on french words.

    Itabashi Saki is the photographer in episode 185.

    Ganbare means "do your best" or "try hard."
    Moshi-moshi means "Hello?" like you say when you answer the telephone or are trying to get someone's attention.
    "Ara" is a mild exclamation of surprise.
    "Ikenai" means "bad" or "wrong," literally "don't go."
    "Doshite" (also spelled dooshite/doushite sometimes) means "Why" or "How".
    "Omae-tachi" is a very informal way of saying "You guys..."
    "Ano" = "um.."
    "Gomen Nasai" = "I'm sorry" (kind of formal)

    That's all the cultural notes for now. I didn't want to interrupt the narrative for them. There will be a quiz afterwards.. jes' kidding! Enjoy...

  • NOTE - this story is complete, but I got it in a .txt files. I'm trying to convert it to HTML to make it a little easier to read and cut it up into a few different parts, it's a very long story, but it's definately worth reading. 1
