あれ　は　らんま　うた　です：

コレアご　です。　　すみません。

In romaji (for those without japanese support installed on their computer):
Kore wa Ranma uta desu:
Koreago desu. Sumimasen.

Or english (for those without japanese support installed in themselves ;-)):
These are Ranma songs:
It's in Korean. Sorry about that.

Question: How did yah write it in Korean, or, was that Japanese? erm, anyway...how??

[jdeyke]

Japanese input method editor (IME), available off windows update. It converts romaji to hiragana, katakana, and/or kanji (user configureable) as you type.

(The website I linked to is Korean, my post was my best *ahem* attempt at Japanese).

[Saphira]

Wait...Im confused! What do you mean? I'm asking how did yah ever type it as Japanese or Korean?

[jdeyke]

I type English letters. The Japanese IME converts them to the Japanese letters.

For example, "ra" gets converted to "ら", "n" gets converted to "ん", and "ma" gets converted to "ま".

So I type in "ranma" and the computer changes it to "らんま" automatically.

[Saphira]

what's IME?

[jdeyke]

"Input Method Editor". An extension to Windows that allows you to type characters that aren't on your actual physical keyboard. You can get them from windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

[Saphira]

oh.....ok! anyway, what part there?

[jdeyke]

Here's a more direct link:
www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/recommended/ime/default.asp

Be sure to get the right one for the version of windows you have.

[Saphira]

oh, ok! But, I'm still a bit confuse. Hehe..

ehem* This is getting a bit off topic ^^;; I don't mind what you guys are discussing about, but just keep in mind this topic is on Ranma.

Anyhow, I clicked on the link provided us.. but I'm totally lost in there, since all the words are in Korean ^_^;; Is it possible you provide a direct link of the Mp3? That would really help

[jdeyke]

Forgive me for the offtopicness of the previous discussion.

I can't read Korean either, but you can get the music fairly easy anyways. I can't link directly to the mp3 because there are many CDs worth... probably about 500Megabytes total.

Try this. Go to:
cgi.chollian.net/~kazut/bbs1/ezboard.cgi?db=ran_mp3&action=read&dbf=70&page=0&depth=1&no=22 (that's the first one).
Then, go slowly down the page, hovering your mouse over the text to see where the links are (if you can't make out the link color, it's rather similar to the regular text).
For each one you find, right-click, and select "save link target as..." and save it somewhere you'll find it again.

Once you've got all the songs (you want) from that page, there's a small link labeled "next" between two dotted lines near the bottom of the page (just above the long list of topics/CDs). Click that to get the next page.

Repeat as necessary.

If you want covers, english tracklists, etc to reconstruct the CDs, I recommend checking out www.furinkan.com/music/tracks.html (click on the images to get the tracklist etc for that CD).

Hope that works for you! :-)

I found it, Thanks jdeyke!

hehee... I thought you meant the songs were sung in korean.... it's just in Japanese ^^;;

Hey Saphira, when you go to the link provided, do you see where it says" Disk 1" "Disk 2" and so on??

The links below each one are to the Mp3 downloads. So you right click, and save as....

[jdeyke]

There are also other CDs available, not just the singles box-set. Click on the "next" (near the bottom) or a topic form the list right below that (very bottom) to get to the next one...

[Saphira]

oh yeah yeah..thanks Jen and Jdeyke!! ^_^
