Sakurai video interview

Here is the interview video of Sakurai with HDnet in Yarennnoka.  
What he is saying in this interview is he always fights champions again and again.  This is me doing some translation!  Sorry for the messed up video at the beginning.

Well done, Suki. Mach is hilarious. I 'm new to your blog so I didn't realize that was you. Are you going to continue to be a translator for mma events?

man, that was kinda hard to watch. not that you're bad or anything, you're doing a terrific job. but sakurai's engrish is really broken.

Suki, send me an email if you get a chance. I wanted to ask if you might be available to write about or do a video interview at the upcoming Strikeforce event in San Jose, or possibly the upcoming UFC in Sacramento.

Keep up the great work on the blog.

How awesome is this sport?

Start a blog that offers a cool service and end up getting hired all over the place and going to Japan for the NYE event!

Fun interview and Sakurai did not make it easy.

I think Mach was trying to hook up ; )

Everybody, THANKS for comments!!
That interview was my first time to translate in person. I was nervous but I believe that was fine for the first time? It was tough because Mach was being funny and weird. He was actually holding my shoulder during his interview!

I like MMA, especially I liked PRIDE for many years. It would be awesome if I can get any MMA job as a translator. If anybody has a MMA job for me, please email me at sukimma at gmail.com.

THANKS!

Suki,

I think Mach is in love with you.

Hopefully not.

All kidding aside, that was one entertaining interview/translation.

Konnichiwa Suki,

I've come across your blog before and saw the HDnet broadcast, but didn't connect the two until now. Good job on the blog and the interview!

Working in a Japanese company in the US, I know how difficult translating can be!
