Complete English subtitles for the asadora Oshin.
I started working on Oshin in May of 2012. It has taken me eight years to complete it. I’m sure it could’ve been done faster, but I’ve been working on subtitles for a number of other dramas over the years.
First of all I’d like to thank groink whose praises of Oshin led me to pick up this drama. Secondly, I want to thank Avallac’h, XrayMind, acEITe, kagi, and y0ssy for making this project possible and helping out with it.
Finally I’d like to dedicate this project to the founder Ruroshin (2003-2018), and admins MoerkJ and amrayu of D-Addicts. I can’t thank you enough for the community you created. Over the years I’ve met many wonderful people and gained my very best friends there. Thank you so very much!
How do you repay a debt of gratitude…?

I LIKE THIS DRAMA ………… SO I HAPPY TO SEE o shin
Best Novel drama in the world!No doubt about that!Please watch this.Some episodes are unbearably fantastic.It’s a life time of a experience.Oshin=Biggest gift from Japan
Just love watching Oshin- haven’t finished watching it – it’s very moving and touching – showing the
Injustice done in those times. Oshin plays a very strong character.
Thanks a lot for your work.
Recently, NHK World broadcasted the subtitled version of a documentary with the actress Nakamura Yuri going to Uzbekistan. When she met young children living there, they told her that they knew some Japanese greetings. She was a bit surprised to see that they were familiar with Japanese culture. They told her it’s because they watched Oshin on tv. It’s really amazing to see the impact of Oshin around the world.
Thank you for your trouble. Arigato!
I’ll be wating.. and wating until the end of your work.
I like this drama
I’m seeing Oshin as you get subtitles. Thank you!!! When it is that Oshin will leave the house of the mother in law? she can not take it anymore!
It’s an awful situation Oshin is in. I don’t know when she will be able to leave. I watch the drama as I sub it. I wonder what her life would’ve been like if she ended up with the other person. (Try to keep this reply spoiler free.)
at last! good headline! Now I will see the episodes that I have behind. It was a very sad part, I hope that now everything better! Thank you!!!
Thanks a lot for your hard work, i can watch Oshin again.
What great effort! May you and all your loved ones benefit from wisdom from around the world as you avail this beautiful drama and the wisdom in it to millions from around the world.
Very appreciate for your hard work on the translation. Oshin is an old series but the story and wisdom never ever lasting at any time. It would be great to be watched by young ages instead just hiphops culture
thank you so much for all the time and effort that you put into this translations. I’m watching Oshin for the second time! So good and perfect and yet so underrated…
Thankyou so very much for subbing this…..more power to you for the final spurt to the finish line.
I am missing subtitles 285/297 of Oshin. Where can I find them please?
Still working on episode 286-297.
The Chinese version have single episodes. The DVDRip have several episodes merged, therefore the delay.
Subtitles for episode 280-288 (DVDRip) will be released when episode 288 for the Chinese version is released. And episode 289-297 (DVDRip) will be released when episode 297 for the Chinese version is released.
Thank You So Much.
You’re welcome and enjoy. :)
