New translation: Photo-documentary and tour report from the Manics' GATS Japan tour!



1988 Buck-Tick article up.

Interview with Nicky Wire, from the November 1997 issue of Crossbeat magazine.GATS era Manics live report 'A day in the life on the road' , from the October 1993 issue of Music Life magazine.For shorter translations, I have been trying to do them in Twitter thread formats. For example, there are two Manics translation threads I have done: 1 2 . The PopGear one will be available here with the rest of the article, but since it's a huge feature, that will take a while!New Richey interview from the July 1993 issue of InRock magazine.Minor corrections in a few articles, stated in their footnotes.Decided to retire the Buck-Tick category from this site. Honestly, it consisted mostly of very old translations, I think all of them earlier than this site, from maybe 2010 to 2012 - some being my very first attempts that didn't even make a lot of sense. I lost interest in this 'fandom' for a few personal reasons, and I don't plan/am not willing to revisit any of the articles in the future. It wouldn't be fair to keep those articles full of mistakes here while I strive to improve the other categories. There are far superior translators in that fandom, like @ladyintomoe for example, please check them out. Sorry for the inconvenience, it was time to move on.I have been thinking about opening a separate website just for the Manics category, since that has been my main focus, and I plan to translate many other articles. Please tell me what you think. New Manics article from the June 1996 issue of Crossbeat magazine.Part of Yoshiki's A-Z from 1992, and two of the photo-shoot reports Minor corrections in other articles.Will now start adding a footnote at the end of all pages I revise and correct with the update dates.Started working on a lengthy Manics article from 1996.Happy Valentine's day!4 more Manics articles up.The new version is up, and while I was updating all the pages, I tried to fix as many errors as possible. Some of the older articles have been practically rewritten! Hopefully the site is easier to browse and read.The Manic Street Preachers section. 3 features, and more soon.
