Kubo Tite said: なぜかモウリーニョのbotにフォローされとる…。 RT @Mourinho_bot: @tite_kubo Bonjour

“Why am I being followed by Mourinho bot? RT @Mourinho_bot: @tite_kubo Bonjour”
(Or you could read it as: “for some reason I’m being followed by Mourinho bot.” But I prefer the former.)

The only bots I ever get following me on Twitter are porn bots. :(

Some more Kubo tweets! Since all of these tweets are pretty much related I thought I’d post them all here in one post. Also, as a reminder, I still consider myself a beginner in Japanese. If anyone out there ever reads these and goes “heeeey! That’s not right!” please don’t be afraid to tell me. You can always contact me or just leave it as a comment. I won’t take offense and would actually be quite grateful for the corrections.

With that said, here we go!

It’s CRAaAaAaZyYyY Thursday! Have another translated Tweet also by Kubo.

Kubo Tite said: Akinatorで、自分の名前を出してみようとやってみたら、最後の質問が「Twitterをやってる？ 」だった。Akinatorこわい。

“I decided to try to find my name on Akinator. The final question was ‘Does he use Twitter?’ Akinator is scary!”

Here’s Akinator if you’d like to try. And yeah, Kubo is on there but when I tried it didn’t ask me if he used Twitter.

I feel compelled to add that for every one Kubo tweet I translate there’s probably ten more that I don’t. The man is freakin addicted to the thing. It’s a wonder he ever gets any pages of Bleach done with all the time he spends tweeting. So it’s not as surprising to me that Akinator associated him with Twitter as it did him.

Sorry about the long delay inbetween Tweet translations. I’ve been pretty busy as of late and just haven’t had a chance to sit down and do any. Well, I plan on fixing that right now. So let’s pull a random tweet from our dear Kubo Tite and see what we get..

Kubo Tite said: トッピングガールズ？？ RT @natsume00000000: @tite_kubo 11月23日にはトッピングガールズの復活ライブがあるそうですよ☆

“Topping Girls?? RT @natsume00000000: @tite_kubo November 23 will be the live revival(come-back) performance of Topping Girls.”

I’m with Kubo. Topping Girls!?

…

…Oh.

This is really a two-part tweet. So here we go..

Kubo Tite said: ドミノピザのサイト凄えな！！
“The Dominos pizza website is weird!!”

A short time after he posted that one he followed up with this.

Kubo Tite said: 注文したらピザの製作過程のムービーが流れて、観終わってから5分くらいでピザ届いた。すげー。
“After ordering, it shows a live stream of the production stage of the pizza after which it takes about 5 minutes to be delivered. Cool!”

I’ve used the Dominos site before. When you order it shows you what stage your pizza is in (being prepped, in the oven, etc) as well as who’s making it, who your delivery person is, etc. It’s pretty neat. It usually doesn’t take long to deliver once it goes out of the oven and into the delivery person’s hands.

I’m surprised that the website works in Japan. They don’t have a Dominos Japan website (or if they do I can’t find it). Wonder how that works.

I like this one too.

Kubo’s Twitter said: スヌーピーか！似てるね！ RT @mangoooz: @tite_kubo (●)´｀・）<先生おはよ-！
“That resembles Snoopy! RT @mangooz: @tite_kubo (●)´｀・） Good morning sensei!”

I guess if you look at it the right way it kind of does.

Kubo Tite said: うっわ！今日そと寒いな！ホントに7月か！？
“Uwaaa! Today it’s cold outside. Is it really July!?”

…Looking at the weather it’s in the 80′s for the high, 70′s at night over there. That’s.. uhh..not cold. Kubo be trippin’!

This is probably the coolest Tweet I’ve seen so far regarding Kubo.

Kubo Tite said: コーーーーーン！！なんだこれ！めちゃくちゃかわいいな！！ RT: http://twitpic.com/1lai92

“Koooooooooooooon!! I can really say that this is insanely cute!!” (or you might read it as “Koooooooon! What’s this? So cute it’s absurd!”)

Either way you read it, it seems that Kubo really likes it. I totally agree. It’s pretty awesome.

Here’s a tweet that I translated along with a few comments that followed it.

Kubo Tite wrote: これを、気分で替えて使ってる。

“This is what I used to change my mood” (picture of iPhone)

COMMENTS:

kisall said: 先生、指きれいですね。
“Sensei, you have a lovely finger.”

rina1x said: 爪綺麗ですね
“What a beautiful fingernail”

I’m amazed that Kubo posts a picture of his iphone and the only thing people can comment on is his finger. Wow.

Kubo Tite Wrote: この店に入る度胸ないわー。 RT @ricardojguzman: KFC @tite_kubo http://frontsideair.deviantart.com/art/Kenpachi-Fried-Chicken-51291728 :)

“I don’t have the courage to enter that kind of store.”

For those unaware of Twitter lingo, the RT just means “re-tweet.” He’s basically responding to what someone else sent him, in this case the image of Kenpachi Fried Chicken.
