    could be... although I guess the answer will be a sorry but either way it would be useful

    As for myself Im tempted to ask him about the characters birthdays (Team 5D's ones). should I try?... *nervous with typing in japanese*
    Do it. What do you have to lose? I would be asking tons of questions if I knew a lick of Japanese, haha.


    Fanfiction


    She only drinks coffee at midnight
    When the moment is not right
    Her timing is quite unusual
    You see her confidence is tragic
    But her intuition magic
    And the shape of her body? Unusual

    The problem is that I don't know if the phrase that I made with help of google translator is right.

    Can somebody tell me if this is written correctly:
    あなたはチーム5D'sのメンバーの誕生日を知っていますか?

    mainly the verb form.

    Looks good, but I'd be more polite and say 小野監督さん (Director Ono-san, but I dunno if you need the "san" since you have the work title there). Or you could take an example from one of the tweets she got and use that.

    Well, I made a Twitter account, so I just need to figure out how to ask something to Ono and we'll be in business. *scratches head* (I've been avoiding making a Twitter for this long, so...yeah. *shrug*)

    Well, I believe there are character days, like I think Yusei Day was a couple months ago but that might be fandates for Pixiv or something. Still, would be nice to see if we get birthdays!

    Well, people that ask him don't say his name since his username is like calling them xD

    As for asking Ono, you have to go to his page and at the top below his avatar is a botton with an image of a person you have to click it and choose the option "mention katsuono"

    Thanks for your help, I'll do it then. (when I feel like it, that will be in no less than a few minutes because of my shyness to talk to other people that I've never talked to before in another language that I haven't practiced so much)

    Edit:
    Its done, hope to get an answer

    @Kyte: I guess if you're refering to the Fudo day, that is not exclusively to Yuusei.

    Heh, true. I guess you could use すみません to politely say "Excuse me," if anything.

    And wow, now I feel stupid, haha. Alright, cool. This may be a long shot, since I doubt the director would know much about music releases or anything, but we'll see.

    No problem. And yeah, I was also like that when I first started learning Japanese, but eventually you get comfortable with it. (Kinda have to when you go on into classes where you gradually have to write sakubun (essays) and do presentations in Japanese, lol.)

    I already did that, Thanks a lot ^^

    Don't worry, I also felt twitter weird the first time I used it, but got well with it with the time (although I don't use it so much).

    I don't study Japanese properly, just by watching anime and searching words, as for the structure that I did read how it went but thats it.
    I want to study it properly one day.

    Naw, I basically added a bunch of formalities and changed the question slighly "Something has interested me for a while, but could you tell us the birthdays of each member of Team 5D's?"

    I know, but I think it would have been better if I knew that kind of formalities before asking since its a good way of talking and with that you show more personality.

    ...That does sound better. I totally forgot about using いただけます, lol.

    Here's what I want to say (using some of the beginning of yours):

    気になることがありますけど、小野監督は5D'sの音楽のことを知っていますか?音楽監督が「SOUNDD UEL1」や「SOUNDDUEL2」のサウンドトラックCDに未収録の楽曲を発売するつもりがあるのかど うか知っていますか。

    Still looking it over trying to reword it so it fits (and to throw in a "thank you"). And since I'm not sure if she'd know much about the music department or whoever decides what gets released, I wanted to use 5D'sの音楽のことを知っていますか to show I'd be taking a shot in the dark. Also used
    音楽監督 in case the music director's the one who decides what gets released.

    EDIT: Going with this--@katsuono 気になることがありますけど、小野監督は音楽監督が「SOUNDDUEL1」や「SOUNDDUEL2」の サウンドトラックCDに未収録の5D'sやGXの楽曲を発売するつもりがあるのかどうか教えていただけませ んか?どうもありがとございます。--instead to ask if she could tell me whether or not the music director plans on releasing the unreleased stuff, and I figure I may as well throw in GX, since Minobe also did GX's music. Fingers crossed.

    Heh, don't worry about it. Yours isn't that bad, and most of the other tweets are like that structure-wise, so you don't have to worry about sounding too impolite.

    Its the first time Im adressing to someone for getting an answer in Japanese... But you're right, I shouldn't be that nervous about it.

    Edit:
    Hey GLL99: he has answered you.
    He doesn't know (well, atleast that isn't a 'No')

    Yep. (Although, I can't really tell if it's that she doesn't know, or if she didn't understand the question, lol. I figure she might've used 知る/to know if she knew something or not, but since she used 分かる/to understand instead...) Either way, I said, "That's unfortunate, but thank you. Me and most of the fans like 5D's' music, so it's disappointing that not all of it was released, and I'd thought, 'Would Director Ono know something?'", and then curiously asked about Sly's wanting Stardust Dragon being some foreshadowing since it's something she'd probably know (dunno if it's in the old tweets, though).

    I haven't seen that question.

    And about your question, he hasn't answering yet, so that could mean that he really doesn't knows...

    Also, I guess either he didn't see mine or he doesn't plan answer it

With G-Gundam, I couldn't tell right from left when I entered the industry, and being so busy, I've only seen the beginning and end. I plan on watching it all sometime.

    Ono says he believes it was established in-universe that Crow is one year younger than Yusei. I don't remember this being mentioned. Anyone remember when?

    And of course, this thread is really useful, thanks for setting it up guys.

    Wow, I see this thread advanced quite a bit while I was away.

    I see you guys were asking Ono about things. Does Ono still accept questions? One thing that came up and would be curious about, is the following...

    1) Are the subtle references to Alchemy and the Occult intentional? For example, the theme naming of the Four Stars of Destruction, Ark Cradle being Yleidus/Yliadus, or all the Peruvian shenangians during the Dark Signer arc.

    2) If so, who is responsible for the references? Do they come from one person (possibly Yoshida), or everyone does their research and the staff works together?

    Granted, I know Japanese nowhere near enough to make that question, but seeing how several of us tried to ask Ono questions, I thought I'd bring it up. Especially after how I recall during the days of GX that certain people claimed that the obscure symbolism and references are all ********, and to an extent, during 5D's as well. Getting a definite answer would make everything easier.



    If you could rewrite history ...
    ... What would you do differently?

    Granted, I know Japanese nowhere near enough to make that question, but seeing how several of us tried to ask Ono questions, I thought I'd bring it up. Especially after how I recall during the days of GX that certain people claimed that the obscure symbolism and references are all ********, and to an extent, during 5D's as well. Getting a definite answer would make everything easier.
    I can say without a doubt that the peruvian stuff was inntentional as was the occult stuff - Yliaster started off as a cult after all. I would also suggest that the other stuff was also inntentional. All the symbolism in the Series has to be inntentional, its too detailed not to be. There is probably a team of researchers and the ideas come from whoever oversaw the Series, so probably a combination of Ono, the guy who left for Pok�mon and later Yoshida.

    But, it may be interesting to know for sure.

    Now, I must get back to writing.

    That's a lot of interesting info there. ... I can't believe they really had names for all of that, though.

    If anyone's still asking, or if I missed it, has anyone mentioned anything about cards that didn't make it into the anime/why the other Signers didn't get dragon upgrades and whatnot?

    Cards that didn't make it in?

    And the likely answer, you know, for the upgrade question:

    Konami: "We didn't see a road that leads to delicious money."

    Something like that. I can't imagine there were any/many, but you never know.

    ... For that... But the Level 7 dragons would have benefitted so much more for level 10/12 forms...!! Even summoning Scar Red Nova can be ridiculous enough sometimes!!

    THIS would be money I tell you!!

    ...... I guess people not Yusei (and sometimes Jack) just aren't important enough to warrant nice things.

    Just my view, but I think it's Yoshida's style to insert random symbolisms in every piece of work he does, even if it's inappropriate.

    Like the above, Yoshida should be doing all by himself. Since the series does not specifically name a "research writer" or "mythology consultant" (and mind you, anime series with heavy symbolism or use of mythologies usually have this - see Occult Academy), I personally feel that it should be the head writer's duty to insert all these in.

    Although, the references to Inca mythology could be from Atsuhiro Tomioka rather than Yoshida, since it has already appeared in Episode 7, which is a Tomioka-written episode.

    I was about to say it was for Konami to advertise the new Antique Gear monster, but then I remembered Rua and Ruka still being in school... But another potentially obvious answer would be that without a real mainline plot-related direction for her character, it was the most logical place to put her just to generally keep her around. Though it's possible that if not for the forced change of Crow into a signer/member of the main cast, maybe Aki would have started D-Wheeling earlier and logically become the permanent third member of team 5Ds. It would have been far more awesome to see her overcome Team Catastrophe's cheating than to have Crow be his usual godlike self.
