Dear Mr. Jackson

I am a great fan of your film "The Lord of the Rings", and I have been a Tolkien reader for more than 20 years.
The Japanese subtitle problem is utterly crucial to me.

My friends and I have been protesting against the terrible Japanese subtitles since March 2002. Some of us have sent you the petitions about the subtitles in FotR with the list of "Most Serious Errors in the Translation of the Japanese Subtitles," "Examples of Remaining Mistranslation in DVD/VHS," and so on.

Now I send you some materials for you to take into consideration. They include the official announcement on December 25th by the Japanese distributor, Nippon Herald Films Inc., which immediately caused a flood of renewed anger among us fans.
（If you have already received these things, please forgive me.）

You may already know of the article on the OneRingNet titled "Japanese Translations Improving? Now in Greece…." in the news section on 12/28, where you can read an English translation of the official announcement. But I have to say that whoever the writer Luinneion is, the article had a number of inaccuracies and serious mistranslations in it. So I send you the original Japanese one with our English translation of the main part of it.

The official announcement, in short, says that they have heard nothing from you, that Natsuko Toda who made all the distortion in FotR will remain as the subtitler for the future installments. In the subtitled print in Japan we will see the name Natsuko Toda be shown BEFORE or along with the original title 'The Two Towers', where you avoided placing your name!

They also say that on the TTT international trailer, Akiko Tanaka and Hyoronsha had checked the both translation of the subtitled version and the dubbed version. But we assure you, there was a great difference between the impressions given by the dubbed version and the subtitled one, great enough to motivate us to start a new petition in November.

If based on the same 'complete translation' and equally checked and double-checked as they tell us, what then, we ask, makes the difference?

Just like the case of FotR, while the dubbed version turns out to be quite excellent, the subtitled version continues to be painfully problematic.
I hope you have someone who reads Japanese well enough to understand every nuance, so that you can compare the two versions in the enclosure (2).

I believe that the lengthy explanation of 'entire consultation process' in the announcement is just a big smoke screen by Nippon Herald Films Inc. As long as Toda remains the main subtitler, there is no hope for the Japanese fans to genuinely enjoy your TTT.

Sincerely yours,

（手書き署名）
