Old ACTN translations

Do you know of anyone who has actually translated the text on the ACTN bumps from a few years ago? Seems like there'd be easter eggs hidden there. That is, if it isn't random characters.

We had an old message a while ago of someone who was translating the Don't Even Try to Read This bump and it was actual text, something similar to "[adult swim] is strong and you are not" or whatever, but he never submitted the original or any other translations.

The only Japanese bumps I've seen translated have been these, which weren't necessarily from ACTN bumps.

Thanks for the link!

It may not be much in quanitity but it sheds some light.

Well, from what I can tell, there are only 5 or 6 phrases that are repeated throughout the several bumps with Japanese text on them.

Many thanks to Soundscrape for the translation, and to Bumperella for the link , I'm reprinting the post here because I know how things get lost at the ASMB

Whoever made these things should be shot for using such cruddy fonts. I spent twenty minutes trying to figure out what two simple characters were because they were so stylized. I'm not even 100% sure if I got one of them right. But anyway, here are the translations.

Goat Head BG (Red/White/Silver)
- 見逃すな！
minogasu na! ("Don't miss it!")

- アドルトスイムはあなたの見方です。
adult swim wa anata no mikata desu. ("Adult Swim is your friend.")

Unicorn BG (Blue/Yellow)
- お子様のものではありません。コレクターのものです。
okosama no mono dewa arimasen. korekutaa no mono desu. ("This isn't something for your kids. It's a collector's item.")

- 痛くなるかもしれません。
Itaku naru kamo shiremasen. ("It probably won't hurt.")

Happy Face BG (Red/Black)
- 大人の楽しみ
otona no tanoshimi ("Adult Fun")

- 冬ブヨがうじゃうじゃ回りにいるよ！
fuyu buyo ga ujauja mawari ni iru yo! ("Winter flies are swarming all around!")

I want to go ahead and correct two of the kanji (one that Soundscrape later corrects himself), just so we have the actual text. *is kind of OCD-ish* >.<
