My Translation: “Elevator Girl” by BABYMETAL

After what seems an eternity, today Babymetal released a new track, titled Elevator Girl. It’s a song that they performed a fair bit during the shows they did last year, but I hadn’t heard it until today. I don’t think it’s their best effort. It’s very poppy, but not as catchy as some of their big hits. Anyway, when I heard this new track was coming out, I decided I would have a go at translating it, just like I did with all the Metal Resistance songs (minus one). It’s pretty repetitive, which made the translation easy. A couple of things to note: italics designate English words in the original lyrics; square brackets designate additions I have made to better convey what I think the lyrics are saying.

“Night of the Werewolves” Now Free from Amazon or Kobo!

I have some important news! It took a little while, but my webcomic Night of the Werewolves is now available as an eBook from Amazon for free! I was able to achieve this by following the advice of someone online, who said that if you made your book available on another website for free, you could ask Amazon to price match it, which is what Amazon did in this case. Of course, this means that Night of the Werewolves is also on another site, namely Kobo. Therefore you have a choice as to which website to download it from. They are essentially the same comic, but I did notice that the Amazon file is about twice the size of the Kobo file, so that may mean that the Amazon file is the better quality one, but I can’t say for sure.

OK, that was the important news. The other news is that Night of the Werewolves is now also available as a comic, from the print-on-demand publisher Lulu. The price is  $20.00 (in Australian currency), which is expensive for a story that only runs for 34 pages, but at this price my profit margin is less than $4. From a business viewpoint, it would’ve been better to make Night of the Werewolves a completely B&W comic, because then the price would’ve been a lot cheaper. However, the colour red is integral to the story and it would look bland without it. In any case, I seriously doubt I will make any sales on Lulu, so I’m happy to put this down as a learning experience for the next time I publish a comic.😊

Below, I will put links to the places where you can get Night of the Werewolves.

Oh, I should mention that now that Night of the Werewolves is a free eBook, it will no longer be available here on MoeDimension. Till next time, au revoir, arrivederci and may the force be with you!😊
