pachinko awards

[BananaSlug]

Got bit by the bug again and I'm now in the process of cleaning "Pachinko Awards" up. I'm just wondering if anyone can easily translate the balloons on the front of this cell. Thanks!

gonna need better pics than that, open the door first and closer and straight on

[BananaSlug]

Here ya go and thank you!!

PS-How do you do this btw? I saw the sticky above, about basic Japanese, but is there an easier way?

[compirate]

Windows has something called the IME, allows you to input Japanese characters in the computer using the keyboard, # of strokes, radicals, or hand drawn recognition. I use the latter for the easier one's, radicals for the more complicated.

[compirate]

Some of that is going to be a problem as it's hand written style fonts, harder to recognize

[BananaSlug]

Is it freeware, or a purchase program?

I think #1 is:王箱停留

#2 and #6 - パチンコ大賞 Pachinko Awards

#4 あひい

Cant read #5

Don't bother to try sharper pics, I don't think I can do any better.

1,2, and 4 are showing up as grey squares... What can I do to change symbology into English...

[compirate]

Do you have Japanese fonts installed?

[BananaSlug]

Yup, now I figured that out. Now for the translation. Thanks!

I think #3 is ひソーニか　え…!! but it's difficult to tell as some of it looks like it's covered up.

#5 could be バワダン but the last character is partially obscured so could be any one of ン, シ, or ソ (or something completely different!).

Radicals ( shivers )
