 		[HEROES360][SITE] YamagatoFellowship.org
Trailhead for next season
I figured this needed to be started, considering this is the starting point for next season's ARG.

 		Anyone fluent in Japanese? The video message needs to be translated, and I can only understand small fragments of this.

 		Well, here's the translation of the video:

Message From Founder

For as long as history has been recorded, it has recorded the story of heroes. Whether it be the myths of those possessing supernatural abilities or the legends of the ordinary finding the extraordinary inside themselves, common strings can be found through all of these tales. The Yamagato Fellowship is dedicated to the study of these heroes - to highlight their courage, their passion and their intellect. By looking into the past, it is our hope that we will all be better equipped to identify and inspire the heroes walking among us today.

English translation of Yamagato Fellowship announcement

Someone over at 9th wonders already figured it out and found that it was the same as the welcome message on the front page. I think the "English translation of Yamagato Fellowship announcement" statement is new though as I'm sure many people were trying to translate it (This site actually came out around 2 weeks ago but was 'officially' announced with Hana's blog.)

 		Has anyone tried destegging any of the picture on the site? There are:

The one of Kaito Nakamura.
The 4 on the Takezo Kensei part of the repository.

The picture of Sir Gawain has words in the background, but they are backwords, and they are partially covered up by his head.

I can't really think of any other pics, and I am at work, so I can't exactly do it right now.

 		I found out what the text behind Sir Gawaine's picture is.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The text is an excerpt from the story of King Arthur. The text isn't of any real significance. It's just a bleed-through from the previous page of the book from which the photo was taken.

The first link will take you to the oh-so-familiar picture of Sir Gawain, while the second will take you to the previous page, where you can see that the bleed-through text was nothing more than the end of the story of Sir Pellias, beginning with the paragraph "Then Sir Gawain looked..."

http://www.candlelightstories.com/KingArthur/PyleArthur27.htm

http://www.candlelightstories.com/KingArthur/PyleArthur26.htm

The backwards text simply reads:

"Part III: The Story of Sir Gawaine"

 		The site encourages people to give suggestions for additions or subtractions to the site. Maybe there is a fact there that's not correct, or maybe there's an entire person that doesn't belong...

Or it's to get you involved in adding mythical and historical figures to the website? That seems to make just as much sense to me.

 		I sent them an e-mail asking about why there was only one historical figure while the rest were mythical. I've yet to get a reply, but I'll let you know as soon as I do.

Honestly, I just thought the wording was odd. I usually don't see too many sites where they encourage you to suggest things to be REMOVED. It just gave me a funny feeling.

It's not really too normal of a site, though, is it?

Well, I've seen stranger... I may dig through my legends and lore books and send in a request or three and see if I get anything back...

 		Takezo has many pictures?
In the About page, why is it that Takezo Kensei is the only one with many pictures?

 		 Privacy Policy?
Something tells me there might be something in the privacy policy? The end talks about "other services", so I sent them an email about what services they might offer...

sorry to correct you but takezo kensi is a fictional character so is neither myth or legend or a real person
