On July 16, 2024, U-Next Pirates player Nakabayashi Kei (NPM) announced in a Tweet that he and fellow NPM pro Nicolas (also known as xkime) will be doing live simultaneous translations of M-League broadcasts starting next season.
This will be the first time that M-League content will be explained live in English by mahjong pros.
As a preview, they will be translating the M-Tournament Semifinals on July 27th, which is set to start at 15:00 JST. According to Nicolas, the live simultaneous translations will be done on Nakabayashi Kei’s YouTube Channel. On ABEMA, much of the broadcast will be behind ABEMA Premium.
In a Tweet, Nakabayashi clarified that he will be doing commentary while Nicolas will be doing the translation.
Previously, two months before this announcement on May 4, Nakabayashi had posted a video of Nicolas saying the names for all the M-League teams in English.
More details will be announced when they become available.
