I think someone mentioned a lyrics author who was angry at Save Miku because her lyrics were badly translated.

I think we, together, might have enough power now to offer her an explanation and solution.

It probably happened because someone Western LIKED the song very much. But did not know anyone with good Japanese. So they "did what they could". It was not wilful evil. It was a misguided but earnest fan.

And I have an idea. If she were to agree, perhaps we could try and make a proper translation together? You put it into rough English, I give it grammar, style and refinement.

I suspect that the "evil" original uploader will be more than happy to remove the bad translation.

I may be terribly old fashioned and influenced by ancient tropes (which also exist in anime, but were there before anime existed). But in this case I think we could try winning the other side over with doing good.

(That's in THIS case. Where creators are legitimately worried. With the Korea-hate-spam, if it ever comes here, I'm ready to get tough).
