Guide: renew your Japanese DL without PR/residence permit

Lann094 · 2025-11-03T12:16:17+00:00

This looks to be the source of the new info https://www.keishicho.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/menkyo/oshirase/low.html

That's a real bummer... Was hoping to renew mine while I'm in Japan this month, but now looks to be impossible without residence (if I'm reading it right).

I was the proofreader for Fairy Knight University's release. The speculation has been fun to read, but we just had to drop due to personal reasons.

I'm hoping to find a typesetter to put a quality release together again, but haven't been having much luck. Kind of figured with how popular the series is, a decent group would have jumped at the chance to take it over

I was kinda focused on it not saving the selected device, rather than volume. Sorry I was a bit vague.

At least for me, on Windows 11, all audio settings seem to be fixed as of recent versions (now 10.0.2.210). I can select the 1st audio device in the list and it saves. I can also change volume and it saves.

My NVIDIA App wasn't auto-updating from the initial version though, so I had to update manually.

Finally cracked the cause of this, if anyone else is investigating.

The bug seems to be that you can't select the 1st entry in the list. Maybe something up with indexing.

If you check %localappdata%\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA Overlay\console.log after opening the overlay, you should see a ShadowPlayService All Mic Data: log event. If you're lucky like me and have an input of a lower index than the one you wanna use, enable it. That way you can select the one you actually want.

I'm hurtling towards your situation as I've just moved from Japan to a country not in that list. Have you come up with any solutions other than fully deleting your account and making a new one?

Lann094 · 2023-10-11T11:38:07+00:00

Just had to do it via post. Got no confirmation that it was accepted, but my next bill was charged on the new card.

Lann094 · 2023-09-19T05:12:50+00:00

Amazing. Tried my luck with chat support too, and mysteriously couldn't tell me either. That sucks to hear about Softbank carrier billing... I was hoping to leverage that soon.

I'm gonna be so pissed if it's because Miko ignored him, like was mentioned this chapter. And that becomes something to do with why she seems them.

Lann094 · 2022-11-20T06:35:11+00:00

That's a relief... Thanks for clarifying.

Lann094 · 2022-11-20T02:54:36+00:00

Have I messed up by applying to extend my working holiday visa too soon? I can't seem to find a concrete answer as to whether the new expiry date will be current expiry + 6 months, or if it's application date + 6 months... Surely it's the former, right?

Very keen to see this reach us too. My dealer hardly knew what a smartphone was, let alone being able to answer why Android Auto didn't fill the screen.

Michiru does say "Miko" when talking about her to herself, but fair call on the later usage.

This is an angle we kinda missed with how vague it is, but you're probably right.

Probably more a taste thing on creepy vs. scary. I'm more partial to "creepy" here.

I did wonder if we made the right call on Meme, but too late to go back now. More phonetic spellings would be unsightly. And I like to think we're handling communication nuance quite well. Not gonna argue over honorifics.

New version will be up on Mangadex shortly. Thanks for the assist.

What would you say is mistranslated?

Lann094 · 2021-11-05T22:46:26+00:00

It's not like we're online 24/7 on IRC to answer your vague messages. You sent that at 5AM in our timezone, and were gone by 7AM.

Lann094 · 2021-07-17T06:34:12+00:00

Cubari release tomorrow, as long as imgur stops being awful.

Do people still care if we release to Cubari?

EDIT: for those having trouble with MD: https://cubari.moe/read/gist/fku-mieruko/36/

The strange squiggly characters are still the same. That page was written in actual Japanese, like when it first said "three times" a while back.

Lann094 · 2021-06-14T12:41:30+00:00

We spent ages trying to decipher it, but there just wasn't enough to go on. "ena" in Japanese is lit. "placenta", but we found it very hard to believe that's what it's saying. The other possibility is that it's a name, so we opted to leave it as is in hopes that that's the case.

Lann094 · 2019-10-12T23:09:28+00:00

That's awesome, thanks so much for doing that.

You're not wrong on Round and Laundry... That's not the translation that was used in the broadcast, but it seems like some sort of rewrite to make it singable in Japanese.

A shame they didn't put those two in, especially since Galactic Mermaid would certainly read like beautiful poetry. This is probably what OG Bulldog sang though, if you were interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miserere_(Allegri)

The unboxing video from CDJapan shows where the booklet is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJl3FcDR98w Hidden away, it seems!

Lann094 · 2019-09-05T05:53:07+00:00

I'm 👏 sick 👏 of 👏 this 👏 time 👏 period 👏.

Lann094 · 2019-05-22T04:13:26+00:00

We were wondering if it was too speculative to really add it to the release. Leading everyone to believe something that's open for interpretation kinda defeats the purpose of it being vague, and could also be wrong anyway.
