Hey, everyone! Webbmaster62 of KiteSeekers wanted me to post something on my site since we have released the last episode of Idol Densetsu Eriko, and so that's why I'm posting here today.
If you watched the last episode of Idol Densetsu Eriko, you'll see a very short tribute in the end for Freekie, who was the timer for KiteSeekers that worked on most of the series. He passed away three years ago due to cancer, and I'm happy that his work got to see the light of day.
Also, several months ago, Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch Pure was also completed. That took a monumental push to get the last few episodes done, especially the last one. It's kind of ironic that both series had final episodes that were loaded with songs.
With that, I am announcing the closure of Licca Fansubs; Idol Densetsu Eriko is going to be the last series we finish. Any future fansubbing work I personally do will be with other groups, and it will be rather minimal at most, due to my repetitive motion injuries.
It is not a well known fact, but for a lot of its history, Licca Fansubs was a one-person operation. There were stretches where I was able to get help (thank you to TheDeath for supplying storage space years ago, Hoshikuzu for timing a lot of the WMT series that were done here, and the translator that worked on Jo's Boys), and without all that help and the folks from Wasurenai and KiteSeekers, we would not have been able to release so many stories for everyone to enjoy.
Also, I am not going to mention names or groups, but I'd also like to dedicate this day to both the fansubbing group and the scanslating group where I personally got my start over 15 years ago. They're the reason why I have the skills to translate anime and manga, and these skills has lead my path in life to so many rich rewards and relationships today.
