Because I'm not good at writing, you may think my remark is awkward. It's natural. Let me know that.
 
And I want to practice writing. Inevitably, I tend to be argumentative if needed.

''akiha is a QCer rather than translator.''

全ての煌めきを湛えて

  +
待ち合わせした交差点。
=== Rationale ===
 
  +
入らないテロップが流れている。
I'm still an English learner. thus, It's too difficult and time-consuming to write translated text in English from scratch.
 
  +
私は目を閉じて喧騒を聞いた。
On the other hand, I'm native Japanese. thus, I almost completely understand the grammar and structure of Japanese.
 
  +
街は全ての煌めきを湛え、輝き眠らない。
Consequently, I can with relative ease, correct the English sentence structure to match to the corresponding Japanese one.
 
  +
ただ貴方を想う。
   
  +
At the intersection, waiting for you,
I have Japanese cultural knowledge as much as an ordinary Japanese.
 
  +
there is overflowing text on the screen.
Although I'm a native speaker, Haruhi series may require tons of knowledge to correctly translate it with translation notes. By the way, when I read them, I just skipped unknown words.
 
  +
I close my eyes to listen to the city's noise.
But I have dependable friends: Japanese Google and Wikipedia, and etc, So I don't have a fear of translating them.
 
  +
In this never-sleeping city,
  +
filled with all kinds of lights,
  +
I just think about you.

  +
My hair styled for you.
=== Rationale ===
 
  +
My clothes selected for you.
I checked few parts of translation. I'm unsure about it, but apparently, some trivial detail meanings are dropped in the translation process all over the project. There was no choice. If A translator had worked on each translation of a sentence until he/she had made it flawless, enormous time would have been consumed.
 
  +
Look at them, please.
  +
Stop saying those too kind words.
   
  +
貴方の刻むビート
I also would spend as much time as them, if I should do the same thing. I think it is better to proof-read the entire project in order to eliminate mistranslation, skipping such small details.

== Studying English ==
 
  +
だから私は人混みの中を走り出した。
However small the advice is, don't hesitate to tell me it!
 
Because I want to study English, everything is greatly welcomed.
 
* For example...
 
** typos
 
** grammatical errors
 
** Which is more better expression? Delete the other. (<<- I'll get back to this one after I give it a little bit more thought, :p )
 
*** Exapand my library of collocation words
 
*** Learn a more fluid method of using collocation terms
 
* To past the time
 
** more English-like texts of mine (<<- This one too. :3 )
 
** cool paraphrase to expand my vocabulary
 
** advice to repair my written mistakes

I don't want to waste time walking.

Driven by that impatience,
I prefer lower cases, than upper cases. The correct method to spell my name is "akiha" rather than "Akiha".

I can't help but run in the crowd.
