Ninja Typing Speed

Ever wanted to know how Japanese live TV shows get their subtitles so quickly?

This video below shows a female in Tokyo who works as a typist, by typing subtitles in real time while the show’s on live.

 

 

It’s really amazing how fast and yet even surprisingly accurate these typists can be. The keyboard that they use really blew me into bits! Throw in some combos with the tiny keyboard and you get a whole sentence. And somehow the action of that reminds me of them playing the piano ^^;

Overseas: A month of holidays!

Hi to all! Am currently in the land of down under for a short holiday of 10 days. The main purpose of this trip is to actually attend my sister’s convocation (graduation ceremony) and also to get away from the heat in Singapore ^^;

After my trip in Melbourne, will be heading back to Singapore for 2 days before heading to another country for about 10 days, this time to look at lots and lots of kawaii girls and kawaii girls and more kawaii girls. Would also be meeting up with a couple of people who are there as well.

Will work on the site theme and also update daily if possible as I’ll be headed to Adelaide come tomorrow morning and I hope they have internets available somewhere there ^^;

Time to take a short nap. I have been awake seen the day before I haven’t really goteen much sleep. Almost feel asleep when typing out this post ^^

Parodies

A recent visit to a few blogs and I found the apparent parodies of ‘Kaidoku Funou’ (a.k.a Code Geass 2nd OP) and ‘Cruel Angel’s Thesis’ (Evangelion’s OP theme song done in Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu style!

This is actually a parody of the concert episode of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (Episode 11 if I recall). Simple lip-syncing and frame cropping has made this possible. 

The parody makers have taken different short video frames, thrown in ’Kaidoku Funou’ as the audio feed and volia!

Now, the 2nd OP of Code Geass doesn’t seem half as bad if they used this :)

Next up, we have ’Cruel Angel’s Thesis’ (Evangelion’s OP theme song spoofed with characters from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. Although it isn’t as good as the original, but it’s really well done given that fact that they managed to do most of the scenes almost as exactly to the original.

Thumbs up!

Lastly, not a spoof but instead, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu Special ED: Full Dance Version, courtesy of Kyoto Animation.

I particularly love the way the animators have put this one together. Very lively and ‘moe’ if I would have to place it in words. It’s really hard to make an ED with characters dancing in sync with a song. 

Mikuru looks somewhat cuter in this ED :)

    The system sorta reminds me of journalist scribes. Because journalist have to take notes etc, they scribe down what people sale which is a lot faster than writing it word for word.

    One curious thing about this post is the unrelated picture above the video…:)

    I can do much better than that.

    Seems like their keyboard has lesser keys then our usual QWERTY. :P

    I wonder if these people play fighting games doing all those gigantic combos. LOL
