Collaboration Project: Mana-Sama styles YURA-Sama in a Moi-même-Moitié Coordinate - COMPLETE ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Moi-même-Moitié fan translation - 28th Dec 2021

First of all, I just want to mention that I absolutely can't believe this video is real! What a treat for fans of both YURA-Sama and Mana-Sama, as well as fans of Moitié!
I wanted to translate this video as there isn't an official translation this time, but also because it includes some fantastic information from the source relating to both EGL and EGA fashion styles. 

As a big fan of Moitié, getting this information from the actual brand could be really useful to foreign fans of Japanese and gothic fashion!

This was so much fun to work on, these two are so funny and I really hope you guys laugh along as much as I did while translating. Let me know if you guys want me to translate YURA-Sama's followup video as well!

It's a bit different to my usual type of work, but I hope you enjoy this translation!

Hello everyone! 

It’s everyone’s favourite, YURA-Sama!

YURA-Sama

Currently active as a singing and dancing drummer in the 4 bands Dacco, THE BEETHOVEN, Psycho le Cemu and Brother.

Yes, please be at ease!

You haven’t made a mistake, this is Moitié channel.

If you’re wondering why I’m standing here right now, 

It’s because I’m taking part in a collaboration project here onYoutube.

Can you believe this? Mana-Sama, in the flesh, is going to style me in a coordinate made using Moitié’s items,

So that’s why I’m here!

Wow…How will this turn out?

Of course, it’ll be a completely gothic vibe,

So how will I fit into that? I’m really looking forward to it!

So, let’s finally try calling him in,

Mana-Sama!

Ma~na-sama~!

Wow, thank you so much for inviting me for this!

I’m so sorry for showing up on your channel in such ordinary clothes, 

But I hope you can make me look much cooler,

So, could I ask for some words of enthusiasm from you, Mana-Sama?

He says he’s going to make me way cooler.

Well, I want to give it a try!

Filming Assistance: KERA SHOP Shinjuku

A specialist shop boasting a selection of around 60 gothic, lolita, punk and rock brands.

They also stock products from Moi-même-Moitié.

Shinjuku Marui Annex 7F, 3 Chome-1-26 Shinjuku, Shinjuku City

So, on that note, today we’re at Shinjuku Marui Annex’s KERA SHOP,

Since they opened up here, we’re filming here today.

So, should we head into the shop?

Ok, let’s do it. Thank you for this opportunity, I’m in your care!

This is it… This is the Moitié area of the shop.

Wow…I’ve never come here by myself, so I’m quite nervous!

Have you already decided?

Wow… So fast, so fast…

Will I be ok…?

Although, although! I think that I might be able to make this work!

I get the feeling that if I wear this, I’ll become cooler looking.

Since it kind of fits my image.

Also, are there any other items…?

There are still more…

A hat…? Of course, this cap won’t do…

On top of this?

Ah, I really think I can work with this!

I can handle a little more!

Maybe even something like this, these accessories…?

Wow, I haven’t really worn something like this before.

A cross, huh!

There are so many little details - Thank you so much!

So, with this… I’ll give it my all and try this all on!

Let’s do this!

It is I, the newly awakened Yura-Sama.

So, I managed to put it all on… how do I look to you, Mana-Sama?

He says ‘It suits you more than I’d imagined.’ 

Thank you so much for the kind words.

So, I came here without thinking too much about it, 

But I feel like all of the staff have been so kind towards me.

They’re like, ‘Ah, It’s Yura-Sama…!’ … I’m very grateful.

I think it suits me, so I’d like to thank you all so much.

E.G.L - Elegant Gothic Lolita

Attire that reflects the image of an antique doll, often adorned with frills, ribbons and lace.

E.G.A - Elegant Gothic Aristocrat

Attire that embraces an aristocratic and dignified image while pursuing an androgynous appeal.

Also, Moitié creates designs encompassing the two concepts ‘E.G.L’ and ‘E.G.A’,

So what I’m wearing right now is E.G.A, as it’s a design made to feature a more androgynous and aristocratic vibe.

So, on the E.G.L side, I heard that you also make lolita designs.

Since I came all the way here, I thought it might be too much to ask to try on one of those coordinates too…?

The more feminine styles…

I’d like to try them!

So, let’s go back into the shop!

Next up is ‘E.G.L’, but to be honest, I really don’t have any confidence that I’ll suit Lolita fashion at all…

Are you sure, will it be alright if I just leave it to you?

Well, I’ll wear anything Mana-Sama picks out, but…

These really are women’s clothes, aren’t they…

Lolita…

Wow…I’ll do my best to wear this one-piece.

Do you think I can do this?

Understood!

There’s so many accessories!

I really feel spoiled for choice!

On my head?!

Ah, I see!

You put it on your head… 

There’s all kinds of things here.

There’s even gloves here.

They’re women’s items, after all.

Oh, what a cute ring.

What could this be?

Can I wear these?

Wow, I’ve never worn anything like this! Thank you so much!

Well, I’ll do my best with these to become beautiful and cute,

But Mana-Sama, you chose all of these,

But isn’t my makeup at the moment not quite right?

I thought so!

So, with Mana-Sama’s guidance, I think we should try changing my makeup too,

So to see the makeup video, please head over to my own Youtube channel!

Thank you so much!

Please visit YURA-Sama’s channel to see the makeup video!

There will be a link in the description.

So, we’ve done it! We’ve created YURA-Sama-Mana-Sama.

Honestly, I still don’t know if I’m quite right for this.

Mana-Sama, how did I do?

Well, he gave me a thumbs-up!

But, it’s been such a fantastic experience,

And I’ve had so much fun!

Normally, I wouldn’t wear these kind of clothes,

Such as E.G.A and E.G.L, 

So I thought that to those watching, 

Even if you’ve never worn anything like this, 

Why not try it out?

It’s a lot more fun than I expected.

You might hear this a lot, but it feels like becoming a new version of yourself,

So I really think it’s something worth trying at least once in your life.

I’d be really happy if you’d give this kind of fashion a try!

Thank you so much for today!
