Angura Research Center

I'll have to rewatch that, it's been years so I'm not sure what you're referencing!

with all of that said, I would like to focus the next few months reading, trying to translate short form texts, poetry and essays, doing more research so that I feel more prepared for whatever I decide to work on next. 💚

Still, it's a joy to try. I still have so much to learn, my work isn't perfect, but if it can help one more person access Terayama's work, then I'm happy.

it's been really eye opening and refreshing to work on a non visual media this time. Every new text of Terayama I delve into is so rich. I always try to dig out of it as much as I can, but I'll never be able to truly understand it entirely.

Comet Ikeya (1966)

I forgot to write on here on Monday, but just in case, I completed this recent project of translating Terayama's radio drama titled Comet Ikeya, aired in 1966. link below!

Terayama's unique attitude to writing in which he invents words and renames things, changes references as he wishes or references things only he understands really makes the process of translating his works.... fun 🧍‍♀️

forgot to mention my @ is anguraresearch - until I can get a hold of my original username with tumblr support lmao

I have made a tumblr, and will be moving my main activities from insta to tumblr very soon. see you there! 💚🖤

in the meantime, I'm working on a few different projects at the same time seeing which will be the next one I'll pick up 👩‍💻

working on getting a platform running to continue sharing content outside of insta and having some technical difficulties that will hopefully be resolved soon. sorry for the long hiatus. I do miss sharing and interacting with everyone 🥲

slowly starting on my next project and someone needs to tell me what erasers mean to Terayama... I know people associate old clocks with him but erasers are everywhere in his works if you look close enough

My companion text about Terayama's Nuhikun can be read here:

Super stoked to present Terayama's play Nuhikun with English subs after many months of work! LINK below! 🤍

never say I don't make efforts to give you angura content.. like if I'll do something, it's source random old ass stuff 🫡

count this as a bluesky exclusive spoiler 🤭

I've been working on Terayama's play Nuhikun since the fall, for those who hadn't already guessed. so I'll be uploading both Nuhikun and Cloud Cuckooland videos with subs... I'm so close to the finish line...

thank you for being here! 🙇‍♀️🩷
