Actually that's my video. I have 4 different Youtube channels and that one is under my real name.

As far as SAGA episode 2 of 3;

What a battle this one was. Mainly because when I uploaded the video and the subtitle file to Youtube, I could not get the captions to show. I re-uploaded the video and the lyrics twice but no soap.

But sometimes things happen for a reason. I wasn't happy with the translations I had found on line for the two of the songs in this part; Sans Bruit and A Cause de l'Automne and I had spent a lot of time trying to interpret them into a smooth flowing story and I was happy with the resullts except for one line in each song. This extra time enabled me to come up with a good solution for those lines.

There's also a song at the end that Alizee sings about birds. Where Double Je and Sans Bruit were very good fits for her voice, this bird song wasn't and there's a part near the end where she has to reach a high note and it's out of her range and sounds bad. Plus it's not that good of a song to begin with. In the first video I uploaded, I included the whole song, but in the shorter one, I only included the first half and I think that's the better way to go.

I still have to proofread the subs in the uploaded file, but if there are any typos, it should be easy to correct them.
