想い人に葉が八つに分かれたもみじを捧げると恋が実る。

Why does している go with 昔から?

教えてくださいね。あざっす!

Re: Sentence check please

葉が八つに分かれたもみじ "a maple leaf with eight lobes"

天才子役として "as child actor prodigy", として means "as" and has nothing to do with している

As a child prodigy actor, she has since played many active roles in movies. She is very celebrated in her country.

Thanks everyone again and I got a new problem :^_^.

A gamer said:
教会でのキスをバックにHAPPYENDのドン!!

Someone translated it as 'A kiss in church with the word happy end behind it', but I think since the 'バック' is verb here, it should be 'We'll back to a kiss in the church when the 'happy end' appears' for more exactly. Am I right or not?

'A kiss in church with the word happy end behind it',
I think it's the other way around.
"The word happy end with a kiss in a church in the background"

バック = background
Though I'm not sure what exactly "HAPPYENDのドン" means. Is it like "fireworks"?
