Material to include

For the Discography, it is only necessary to carry over Albums and Singles; the Soundtracks are for Japan-only films. Be advised that most translator 'bots destroy the legal-name pronunciations needed in this Translation. I managed to isolate some pages on ja.Wikipedia.org to which the original Article (麗美) links:

1. Clarion girl (クラリオンガール).
2. Correct Matsutoya Takashi (松任谷正隆). (Actual name should be Masataka Matsutoya. - BCS)
3. Correct Matsutoya reason actual (松任谷由実). (Actual name should be Yumi Matsutoya. - BCS)
4. Shunji Iwai (岩井俊二).
5. (日本語) Composer (作曲家).
6. Mayumi Horikawa (堀川まゆみ).

It is possible that not all the referenced links are needed. - B.C.Schmerker 02:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inexperienced editor?

I noticed that User:Sabazou placed the first part of the translation on the Talk page, Talk:Reimy, rather than the Article page. I managed to get a preliminary translation of part of the Discography done, plus some basic statistics; bit I'll need a proofread. - B.C.Schmerker 16:31, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quality of source text

Be advised that the original article on ja.Wikipedia.org may have syntactic errors, prim. relating to the use of particles. - B.C.Schmerker 16:16, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reference to Clarion Girl, M/M Mastutoya

Taking into consideration the issues of particles previously described, I estimate that the actions concerning an event on January 1 1984 would come out as follows:

• 元クラリオンガールの姉が持っていた麗美の写真が偶然関係者の目にとまり、1984年1月1日、松任谷正隆・由実夫妻の全面的バックアップでデビュー。1993年頃からREMEDIOSとしてドラマ・映画のサウンドトラック、CM音楽などを手がけるようになる。  ⇔  A photograph of Reimy in the possession of the elder Horikawa (viz., the former Clarion Girl) caught the eye(s) of certain persons on January 1 1984, initiating M/M Masataka Matsutoya's full-scale backup debut; consequent management of film-soundtrack and CM music under the Remedios name commenced around 1993....

To any "ja6" reading this page, feel free to correct any error traceable to my lack of experience. - B.C.Schmerker 05:25, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
