Tokyo Fan Fest - Only keynote to be translated

[TarynH]

Live translation takes time, more than anything. They will have to interrupt speaking to let translator speak the same thing just in different language. That interrupts the flow and takes away from what they are able to present.

If that were the case, they could just have someone come out and give the keynote in English (at NA/EU events), while Yoshi stands and smiles at them. I personally don't mind the "flow being interrupted" if it's done professionally. Koji and Yoshi are a good team on stage.

Oh. I just read the thing. It says on a separate channel. Wonder if that means at the same time or after.

If it's like the last Fan Fest in Japan, it'll be someone that is so excited about what is being announced, that they'll "ooh" and "aww" instead of translating. Or talking nonsense back and forth, while missing information. I'd rather have Koji there live, with the back and forth.
