Hi, stlwright. Please don't separate 置く from とく, it's a colloquial form of 置いておく (setting aside). My proposal is Setting his bluntness aside, Only his looks are good. (literal) I hope it helps you.

Hi. Sorry for posting on the thread labeled "done". But ライブジャック issue seems to be overlooked. Jack in ライブジャック isn't an input/output jack, but "hijacking the live concert". The boy wearing sunglasses says "I'll perform alone, 'cus those guys are annoying." Then, other boy reacts...

Re: touhokuben! おらば/ながまさ/いれっで/けろ！！= おれ　を/なかま　に/いれて/くれ！！ And you seem to misunderstand the 3rd sentence. Have you interpreted "こちら/から/こそ" as "from now on"? I can't translate and explain literally but flow of lines is as below. こ。。。こんなオラを必要としてくれるなんて。。。 (I can't believe that) the person...

Re: Help me with this phrase please?　(New one added) Very literally, 恋だの愛だの means "The romance and the love and" or something (Yes, this is a bit redundunt expression). But, make sure that "だの" has a negative connotation. If you need more explanation, give me/us the full sentence including the...

Re: Help me with this phrase please? Hello 天呼ぶ地呼ぶ人が呼ぶ is a set phrase for manga or live-action film. It's declared by much awaited (or expected)hero/heroine when he/she makes his/her dramatic appearance pompously. Very literal translation will be 天呼ぶ/地呼ぶ/人が呼ぶ The heaven calls (me)/The earth...

Re: Proverb help I think all of "fair weather shan’t go on for three days" and saladesu's translations are correct literally and technically, though I don't know the given context. >>She misunderstood it as "the patience of a saint only goes up to three" or something close to that. I...

Re: Proverb help I totally agree with saladesu. "天に三日の晴れは無し" sounds like an established proverb, but it is an original proverb-ish expression. FYI: In this phrase, 天 means 天下(under the sun/ world) or 天候(weather) rather than "heaven". So I think salades's translations are perfectly good.

Re: Hard time reading informal Japanese... Hello I hope my post will help. 俺は/いつまでも/そこには/いない。 I will not stay there(or here) for all time. ≠(my free translation) I will leave here sooner or later. だから、/自分で/考えて/行動しろ/って言ってるんだ。 So, I told you to "think and act on your own". ≠So, I tell...

Re: Need help with a word >>Halo effect is a pretty cool term, but unless the person who's talking is a psychologist or something, it wouldn't sound very natural. Thank you, it's very enlightening for me. Also in Japanese, Halo effect(ハーローorヘイローエフェクト/後光効果) is a kind of technical term. 七光り is a...

Re: "ブっこみ野郎"? Hi, ぶち込む（ブッこむ=ブッ込む=ブッコム） is a slang meaning "attack/pour/add/insert somethig in very aggressive manner (thoughtlessly and/or clumsily)" Example： You can ”ぶち込む” your kick into your opponents face. (kick hard, aggressively) You can "ぶち込む" salt into your meal. (add vast amount of...

Re: Need help with a word Hi, How about "halo of (a master or parent)"? "Halo (effect)" is somewhat popular technical term in psychology. "七光り" is a set phrase and a metaphor, and as you know, "光" means "light ≠ halo". So I think it's not bad equivalent. And "coattail" sounds good too. But...

Re: Need help with an expression To Avenger_zero0one Ah, my reply might have been careless. What I meant was "Man☆Gatarou loves dirty and absud jokes, so, there is no wonder that characters in his works had ridiculous name." I'm his fan too and Gatarou is not a tabooed topic.

Re: Need help with an expression まこと か(?)/お汁!!! will be Is it true!?/ O-shiru! As Owari01 said, O-shiru was a proper noun in this case. I bet that O-shiru is his (King's servant's) name. "O(honorific)"+"general noun" used to composes Japanese name. For example, "O"+"tsuru(crane)" is...
