User blog comment:Takashichea/Help Wanted - Japanese Titles Translation/@comment-87.231.11.37-20130606162911

Hi, Im' the editor Takashichea is referring to, and I'll see if I can help you out, but first off, I'd like to point two things out:

1) I'm not familiar with the series at all (I haven't read a single episode (yet?), in fact): I only stepped in because I noticed some issues with the article.

2) I'm not fluent in English (which is why I mostly list the Japanese titles and their transliterations: I'd rather have someone more qualified than me come up with the English translations).

That being said.

"Yuru kyara" stands for "yurui mascot character" / "loose mascot characters", that is to say those cute/moe person-in-a-suit mascots that represent prefectures, cities, businesses, etc, and that have been somewhat popular in Japan as of late. So "Yuru Kyara Samaa" -> "Mascot Summer"? Maybe? I don't know the context, so...

It's actually "引退試合", and it means "retirement match/game", i.e. the last match of a sportsman who has just announced his retirement.

"Barabara jiken" comes from the common expression "xxxx barabara satsujin jiken" / "xxxx dismemberment accident/case", used in murder cases where the victim is (/the victims are) dismembered. Except in this case, there's no satsujin/murder: it's (from what I can tell based on the other comments) the cake of the student council room that's been gruesomely scattered.

I hope that helped somewhat.
