The SM Detective

はじめまして、のえと申します。関西在住、日本人、性別♀でございます。アメリカには個人でネットラジオをしている方が結構いらっしゃるようで、緊縛 をテーマにしてはるのがGraydancerさんのRopecast.

先日そのRopecastで、Graydancerと有末剛氏のインタビューの通訳をつとめる栄誉にあずかりました。何も知らないわたくしですが、こぐれさんのご助力を得て、妙な聞き間違いをしつつも、皆様とお話できて楽しかったです。

だいたい日本人は真剣で勤勉、アメリカ人はもう少し楽しくリラックスしているイメージがあるのですが、Graydancerのインタビューの質問からは真剣さというか、まじめに研究している感じが感じ取れます。思いこみはいかんね。

有末さんとこぐれさんは今頃もうヨーロッパツアーに出発なさったことと思います。頑張ってね～！

Hello and nice to meet you. I'm Noe, a Japanese girl who lives in the Kansai area. I'm "Noe" on FetLife too, so look me up if you like.

I had the honor the other day of acting as an interpreter on Graydancer's interview with Arisue Go, a Japanese kinbaku artist. Arisue-san was very nice to talk with, and it was fun to chat with everyone involved. I would not have been able to do the interpretation without a lot of help from Kogure-san. I'm a newbie, and I know little about kinbaku, or BDSM in general.

Graydancer's questions were interesting to me in a way that I can see how serious the American enthusiasts are about kinbaku. The general preconception is that the Japanese are a serious and diligent people, the Americans more fun-loving and relaxed. Yet, I can clearly see how Graydancer thinks seriously about kinbaku.

As far as Arisue-san's answers are concerned, I'll leave it to you to listen to the interview.

Now I think Arisue-san and Kogure-san have already departed for their European tour. I wish them a lot of success and fun!
