Here's my silly question. As one who knows nothing about how fansubbers do their work, how do groups go about coming up with the lyrics to the opening and ending songs so quickly? Sure, one could translate spoken words easily if they knew both languages, but listen to a new song in your language and it's still tough to pick out the exact words they're saying. Is there some kind of black magic involved or am I missing something idiotically?
Wow. I dont know about anime theme songs or what but translating lyrics is seriously a pain. I've tried translating Chinese lyrics into English before and it doesnt make sense to me after translations. Those who did lyrics translations are pro.
