[Scanlation] Vivi Deji Deji Diary Full Book =In Progress=

[jaomaru]

WOW!

Other dream come true...

thanks!! i waiting for that!

[Misa-chan]

Issues #2 and #3 up. Issue #1 has also been edited and reuploaded. Enjoy!!

One small request. I don't actually own this book myself, and sometimes it's really hard to make out what's written because the scans I have are quite LQ. So if anyone could help out by providing better scans, it'll be greatly appreciated!! XD

Misa-chan
HUAAA... thank you Misa-chan!!
you're awesome!!! Ganbatte-ne!!!!

[indyplus]

Thank you so much, Misa-chan! This is amazing.

[AyUta]

This is huge, thank you! You've been a big help .

[love in music]

I have the book and a scanner, but my scanner isn't that big so I scanned some pages in parts that are pretty large in size so you can probably make out her handwriting better than in the smaller scans. I just scanned vol. 4-9 but if you feel like these are helpful I can scan some more. If not I won't, I just wanted to try to help!

Sorry the scans aren't perfect, I really don't want to damage/break my book.

Wow thanks!! These are really useful. ^^

Yeah, I know scanning really damages books. What I do normally is to take close-up photos with a camera instead.

I'd really really appreciate it if you can continue helping. But that's if you have the time to!! I understand it's tough work. Thanks lots once again!! I'm off to work on more now~

^Yea scanning books and booklets is pretty hard, I remember when truehappiness completely ripped one of his extra GUILTY things to scan it. But hey, the scans were great!

If needed, I can definitely take pictures of my book, but I'd be way too scared to try and scan it

[Misa-chan]

Hi all!! Issue #4 is up!!

I'd like to ask opinions though. For people reading this, do you guys find that it's really messy? Would it be better if I airbrushed away ayu's handwritings and replaced them just with the English translations?

I initially wanted to keep ayu's handwritings on the scanlations because its unique and cute in her way, but now I've realized that 1)there's almost no space to place the translations, 2) the scanlation looks a little messy with so many writings all over.

So what do you guys think?

Haha, I think some people complained about those scans and wanted better scans because "they had a rip in the middle of them" or something. OF COURSE THEY DID. There's practically no way to scan that book well without completely ruining the binding, and I forgot to microwave the book, so the glue ended up sticking. I checked my mint/intact version of the book and I was like "I can't even open this photobook that wide, wtf?!"

And as for these translations, I can read them just fine... usually the Chinese ViVi just puts Chinese translations over an airbrushed/non-written-on template, but I think it might be better to keep it there. It's already enough work translating as it is....

Speaking of the new issue, I've actually walked into that SPARK store. It was pretty weird, but I saw photos of Ayu inside the store, and I didn't even know that was a place regularly visited by Ayu until after I visited, haha.

I would do that too but unfortunately my camera really sucks.

Okay, I'm glad I could help I really appreciate you taking the time to translate everything. I scanned vol. 10-15 today

It's just fine ^^ I like the way you keep her handwriting, but if there is no room then yeah, you probably have no choice but to airbrush some out.

[Bigtop]

This is going to take at least a couple of months (two or three, I suppose) to get this completed...

[truehappiness]

However, as it is a full book by itself, and translating ayu's current TA diary entries and newly released mag scans will remain my first priority, I'll probably take some time to finish this.

I imagine that it'll probably take 4-5 months at the most if Misa-chan works at the pace she is now. It really depends on how much stuff she has to do. I don't think anyone expects it to be done by say, March. Most people are just happy that someone's taking the time translate the entries in the first place!

Wow thanks lots!! ^^ Actually, what I need pictures of are close-up of her writings instead, especially those nearer the spine, so if your photos can focus more of those, it'll be a very very big help.

Thanks once again!

[kyomiayu]

thanks for your hard work.

Sure sure, my scanner just can't pick up on those parts near the spine x_x but I did try taking pics of them that I think should be readable. Let me know if these work for you.

Yes THANK YOU!!!! This is exactly what I need. Hope it wasn't too much trouble and you didn't damage your book!!

[nyuna]

Misa chan Many thanks for all your translations. I apreciate alot your work and spirit.

Ganbatte =)

[Keiichi_JPU]

Ooh, so in the beginning it was the purpose to show pics or Ayu's REAL life, cause she's human and not a singing machine...

Too bad her recent Deji Deji entries are usually just screenshot of her PV's / Tour making ofs

Thank you sooooooooo much for putting this effort! It's so interesting, gives a whole new dimension to the book now that I can do more than just looking at pics! great!!
