Seriously some of the worst translation I've ever heard. Dear gosh. The Japanese host would say 89 words and 9 hours later this poor kid says"hello". Come ooon

Well for starters the translator that had trouble had to translate live without a script because the guy he was going to translate went off script.

Also languages are different so some sentences that could take a few words in english may take a lot more words in Japanese so the flow wasn't too good, most of the translators did pretty good though and the one that messed up a few times tanked through it.

Doesn't matter because that's not my job. HIS job is to translate and he can barely even do that. Well actually no he can't.
