Lost In Translation ?

The site 'Giginjapan.com' is not only a good place to go for what is new in the world of shiny silver discs, if can also provide some much needed unintentional humour as well. Some of the sites English translations have been stone cold classics over the years but I think that they have now outdone themselves. A new release of the Sydney Showgrounds show from 1972 includes those old favourites ' Snowdonia's Hut ' (I'm guessing they mean 'Bron Yr Aur Stomp'), ' Ai Full Of Heart ' (No me neither) and ' What Is And What Shoulder Be' ( I'm guessing ' What Is And What Should Never Be'). Well,it made me smirk.

Yeah, it´s always fun to read their descriptions. :D

Some of the stuff I've seen on there has been hysterical, but I am surprised that they don't get someone who is more fluent in English to do those translations. Mind you, their English is better than my Japanese (non existent).
