Subtitles for Mosaic Japan Episode 1+2 are out!

Once, there was a great jdorama written by Sakamoto Yuji called Mosaic Japan. It was a brilliant show where he got to explore the Japanese porn industry and its many contradictions.

However, it was a WOWOW show and there were no Japanese subs so no one subbed it at all. Everytime I mentioned Mosaic Japan, I would always say that if Japanese subs were available, I would sub the show.

Then one day, Dark_Schneider_Py wrote in the comments that he had access to the Japanese subs and would we work on the subs together. It was time for me to walk the walk and finally sub something.

So Dark_SChneider_Py subbed episode 1 and I did a crappy job on episode 2 and since the end of the world is coming aka the closing of the d-addicts subtitle forum, we are releasing subs for the first two episodes.

Although I did a sub par job with episode 2, it still took a lot of time to do it. (I still translated things too literally) I won't be able to work on the rest of the series this year with JLPT N3 coming up soon but this is the first time I've contributed to the jdorama community besides retiming Japanese subs. You can get the subtitles from the d-addicts forum here. You need to be logged in to access it.

Highly recommend you watch this, I believe raws are available from avistaz and big thanks to Dark_Schneider_Py for making this possible!

@Anon: I'll ask Dark_Schneider_Py if he wants to upload the Japanese subs to d-addicts.

Well done!! I can't access the forum but I just wanted to say good job. Now time for me to start studying and attempt to do some subs.

I'm also interested in the Japanese subtitles. Please let us know.

I just discovered dual chinese-japanese subtitles for all 5 episodes on a chinese subtitle site. As you know, the english subber on Dramawiki only got up to ep3.
My Japanese is only basic, I suppose I could do a translation if I had time. But it's enough to have ensured these are accurate and well-formated subtitles.
