Best of Wota in Translation 2018

2018 is nearly behind us, and thus it’s time to look back and see what the year had to offer. (While you’re at it, feel free to check out the best of 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017!)

Please note that this list is not in order of best to worst. It’s simply a list of what I thought were 15 of the best 2ch threads posted on Wota in Translation this year, in the order they were published.

Did I miss anything? What were your favorites from 2018?

Hehe. I don’t remember now when I translated that, but I bet it was closer to five years ago than it was to zero. So thanks for remembering it. Happy New Year!

The non-2ch threads this year were incredible. Thanks so much for tackling those!

But yeah, the meme I used the most was probably “Oda Sakura every day.”

Michishige Sayumi gets strangely excited over the thought of Kamikokuryo Moe sleeping in her junior high gym uniform
So it’s been five years now since Morning Musume broke up…
Ishiguro Aya’s 17-year-old daughter: “I love the Daaishi Feeling!”
How come no one ever told me how good of a song Tsunku♂’s “TOUCH ME” is? (AKA WTFBBQ that was Taisei????)
Michishige Sayumi’s big sister mistakenly tries to high five official at airport security check

The armpit thread was good, too.

Thank you for another year of awesome translations, Henkka.

Happy New Year!

Thanks for all the work. But just so you know, the picture of Tsunku at the top gives me nightmares.

Thanks for everything!

thanks for your work

Thank you.

This site is my favorite H!P fandom hub. I’m lucky I found it via random google searching(something about Zukki’s weight thread).
My favorite threads from 2018 are:
Fukumura Mizuki and Iikubo Haruna talk about their drinking habits-I like to know what beverages idols like, completely normal hobby…
I feel like Aikawa Maho was a type of girl we had never seen before in Hello! Project-Largely the reason I became bigger Angerme fan
Ishiguro Aya’s 17-year-old daughter: “I love the Daaishi Feeling!”-I feel healed after these kind of threads
Morning Musume 20th Anniversary Official Book Interviews: Tsunku♂ (Part One)-Massive info packages to fans who just joined the fandom
Fukumura Mizuki suggests that fans should do questionable things to Oda Sakura’s photobook-Funny
What was Konno Asami like as a member of Morning Musume?-I’m so glad people love reminiscing past members and events

Iida Kaori’s interview was very inspirational to me. I took a quote about goals from this interview and made a poster out of it. It hangs on the wall next to my desk.

The best was Fukumura Mizuki and Likubo Haruna. I seriously wanted to find Honey’s favorite jazz bar and enjoy the setting. Maybe get to toast ginger highballs with her. I bet there were no less than a thousand Wota’s going to every jazz bar in Tokyo trying to find her. Haha!

Thanks, like always, for your hard work. Best place online for H!P information.

The armpit thread was the best one

You know there’s lewd threads posted by the Japanese every day, right? There’s nothing special about this old post.

Go here and almost daily there’s a thread about butt sex with karin or that morito’s feet smell.
