So, thanks to the lovely nikki_aino's alerting me to this fact, Nagayama Takashi's old blog entries (from before he moved to his current one) have been archived by the WaybackMachine here, from around mid 2004 to early 2006. There's a LOT here that hasn't been translated before, and I'm going to tackle it as an attempt to get back into the translating groove XD

These entries are sometimes quite long, which calls to mind the question of why he stopped being so wordy, but for now just sit back and enjoy. The pictures that accompany the entries were not archived, but when possible and pertinent, I will try and include a description of what the image was. If anyone DOES have the image for this date, feel free to upload it and I'll link it here :) Text in italics is the link text for the picture.
