July/Aug/Sept voting!

Greetings to all patrons new and old. It's time again to offer suggestions and feedback re: what you'd like to see translated in the next few months. I'll still be referring to the previous voting posts, but it's never a bad idea to post again what you'd like to see translated.  Also, if multiple people suggest the same interview, it's more likely to get translated, so feel free to second other people's suggestions. And as always, don't hesitate to ask questions about the interviews if you're curious about their content/length etc.  

To vote, please take a look at the list here: http://shmuplations.com/patreonlist/ and leave a comment on this post letting me know what you'd like me to translate.

Hey all! I didn't get quite as much done last cycle thanks to my health problems, but I should have a couple nice extras posted soon to even things out. I'm about ~95% back to full health here btw... fingers crossed that I don't relapse or develop something chronic (which happens to a small percentage of thyroid infections). I also finally began getting this root canal treatment--which was actually the start of all my problems, and I could write so much about that, haha. Suffice it to say that if ever you move to Japan or abroad, be sure to bring your medical/dental records with you. I probably could have saved myself a lot of trouble if I'd done that.

In any event, I'm hopeful that by the end of October I'll be able to make another trip to the Diet Library and resume my hardcopy research. Here in Tokyo they've continued to extend the states of emergency, mostly I suspect as part of the lead-up to the Olympics, so once that's over I'm hoping things will return to a semblance of normality and I can get back to work there. Until then, thanks for your continued support!
