You mean Uehara's segments, like at the very beginning of CC? I suppose we could whip up some TL for those too and have them in the TL Note segment of the respective files in which they show up, there's no way to actually get them ingame. Luckily they aren't all that relevant to the story, but I'll see what we can do about it.

It's just so annoying having to sit and wait through these parts. You have some of it at the school festival too, where there's a lot of conversations going, but only Haruki's thoughts are translated.

Is there no way to get the translations for these parts shown on another part of the screen? I've seen it before, but that might be a VN that was translated by the game producer.

Honestly, It would probably be possible to do it but who knows what kind of bugs in the game it may cause. It might be something that will happen after everything else is done. No promises though.

Translations of spoken-only lines have been added to the Translation Notes sections of files 1002, 1008, 2001, 2002 and 2010. Poke me here if there are any significant ones that we missed.

Yeah, it might happen one day, but don't hold your breath, really.

There are a few grammatical errors and stuff, which one must expect, but for the first time I'm actually unable to get the meaning of a sentence, might it be that a kanji has been misinterpreted and not been caught in the check or is it my English that isn't good enough (English is my second language)?
Spoiler! :
CC 12/24 on the bridge after the restaurant visit.
That's only because I stole a march on her despite knowing how both of you felt...
March can, to my knowledge, only be one of two things, and some derived from those, the month and a type of parade, but here it seems to mean something else.

It's not wrong per se - it's an idiomatic phrase. "To steal a march" means "to beat someone by achieving the same goal that they are striving for earlier", originating from old military and warfare. Although I suppose it could be too obscure an idiom, it's rarely used. Something to the effect of "beat her to the punch" could work just as well, and the meaning is more or less the same as in 抜け駆け in both cases. I'll fix it up when I get the time. Keep them coming.

Have gone through CC once more after having waited a few months for the translations to get progress and there's one thing I haven't noticed before. 12/31 there's an option where you can choose to go to the concert. I think I had that option available, but didn't use it, and now, no matter what I do, I can't seem to unlock it anymore. Anyone know how to unlock it? I have all the CG's and have obviously done all the routes, but retracing what I did isn't easy since I didn't save all the options.

It's impossible, a fake choice that never opens up

I remember I had some problems with the last 2 choices in Coda as well. One of the choices would never open, no matter what route I followed, so I actually had to use a walkthrough to find how to open it. I also know that certain parts won't open unless you have played your way through a story, like IC after the school festival, and Coda in the start. So I was hoping there were something like that. To have a fake choice sounds to silly for me. Has anyone actually gone through each and every possibility in CC? There are a possibility of 17 options (although I could swear I once saw 3 options on the 25'th, one before he left the hotel room), but not all of them will be available, which will give around 100-132,000 routes, so to do them all seems just impossible.

Found a Japanese site that says the same thing. A dummy question.
I guess it would have been kind of strange if he actually met Kazusa in CC, but I thought it might have been something that kept Kazusa from coming and that HE would be the one with an empty chair next to him. :)
