Someone in the 5ch radiko thread posted a link to a newsletter that mentioned a new thing JOQR is trying out, making a programme and then AI translating it for international audiences
The programme is called Shinnosuke Tachibana's With My Voice, In Your Words / 「立花慎之介 僕の声で。君の言葉で。」
Here is the page on the QloveR website
i had some thoughts™, here is my post:

QloveR AI翻訳ってかなり面白いね
でも英語のアクセントはちょっと変かな。全然悪くないけど、なんかちょっと…ノルウェー人ぽい？ w
日本と英語圏のラジオやテレビとかの喋り方はかなり違う思います。盛り上げるというよりも、英語圏はもっとカジュアル、リラックスな雰囲気喋があると思います
カルチャーギャップかな
あの番組を聞いてると、なんか盛り上がりに圧倒されて、疲れてしまいそうになりました…
AI翻訳まだまだですね。言葉の訳はいいけど、文化の方はまだないですね
配信に関しては、全く知らないアプリQloveRに限定するのは無理です。Youtubeにアップしないと誰もが番組の存在を知らない。
excuse my poor japanese...
english version
That QloveR AI translation thing is quite interesting
but the accent sounds a bit... norweigan? lol
also i find that the way of speaking/atmosphere on japanese tv/radio etc is quite different to english ones
the jp ones are all excited and in your face, whereas the english ones are more casual/relaxed
cultural differences i suppose
but when i watched the programme i found myself getting worn out by it lol
i was quite impressed by the translation quality actually
but obviously it can't translate between cultures like this^ just yet...
also regarding the distribution,
you'll never get anyone to watch it if you put it on some random japanese app ("QloveR") no one's ever heard of
+ paywall past episodes(!)
put it on youtube, that way people might actually see it
the idea seems quite nice at least, idk how successful the execution will be
also that newsletter seems quite interesting, like a japanese version of james cridland's one kinda? though would be nice if they went into detail or gave links or comments about the stuff. i have to assume it's actually longer and that's just a preview/toc? membership is 60 quid a month so i will probably never know...
TODO: i might put a clip or something here so you can hear what im talking about

update, it got a bit less "shouty"/excited in e2
but honestly i prefer to just listen in japanese
rather defeats the point of having a voice actor if theyre just going to overdub him with a computer anyway
but i suppose he's not doing voice-acting really, he's being a radio personality in this case
