[Japanese > English] More Transcription Help
Hey all,
Thanks as always to those who've been helping me with my transcription of a handwritten document. In contrast to my confidence with the last page (post here), I'm struggling with the next one. If anyone has time to look it over for me, I would be most grateful.
My transcription, with problem sections in 「bold and square brackets」:
- て政府間題化するまでになつていた、私は個人的
- に本部市場に出場中の為農務苺市場「管務」及グシ
- ント氏と「要通」し、同氏の場本を待って「立接面」
- 「？」の上くわしくも、市場暴「流」の原因を聴き、其結果農「幾初」
- 「出？」の「應授」と激励を得て、南立フレザー面岸

Oops, I'm fashionably late to the party, but hey, who's counting? 🕺 Your performance at Music Bank Antwerp in Belgium was off the charts! I was there, soaking in every beat. So, spill the tea. If you’d bee able to choose, would you come back to Belgium? 'Cause I'm ready for another performance already!
And can we talk about the song choices? "Get a Guitar" and "Love 199" had me bopping like there's no tomorrow. I was low-key sweating bullets, praying you wouldn't hit us with some obscure track, I didn't know but nah, you kept it OG, and I was living for it! But seriously, those cheers were so loud, I'm pretty sure they set off car alarms outside. Talk about eardrum rebellion – my brain still hasn't recovered from it! 🤯

[Unknown > English] Is this Chinese?
I’m trying to learn Japanese right now but haven’t been brave enough to look at Kanji yet. I reckon this is Chinese because of the lack of any Katakana or Hiragana but I really don’t know. I am also curious about what it says.

Hi, I'm translating the song 'Angelica' by Hiromi Sato and I'm stuck at the last line.

Is there another translation for Ochiru? Because It doesn't seem like a voice will fall into the sky, if you consider the context. Can somebody help me?

Japanese>English Hey guys I’m in a bit of a pickle
No, my job is far from the best. I’ve been practicing for about two years now and I’ve made it through like one visual novel very poorly. May I add anyway I’m having a really hard time determining what this means. I think I can figure out one of them, but I’m not sure. I was wondering what the kanji to the far left of the. 7 is if anyone knows it would be a big help. Thank you. Oh by the way, I think the other one is. 連
