May have heard some clapping. (again, with the way the feed is, it's really hard to make things out)

If his pen marks the position of the spacecraft, they may have made it.

 Oh, well. My wife's out shopping anyhow...hopefully she'll be home soon for some translation duty... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

They showed a visually impressive demonstration of a cup being crushed in a pressure chamber. The cup had solar arrays marked on it.
May have heard some clapping, too.

Communications currently interrupted with the spacecraft since its antenna is facing away from Earth.
We shouldn't officially get an update on Akatsuki's current orbital position till 4 AM, PST (7 AM, EST)  http://twitter.com/Akatsuki_JAXA -------------------- 2011 JPL Tweetup photos: http://www.rich-parno.com/aa_jpltweetup.html

A significant amount of clapping... probably because the feed just ended.
Looks like it was just applauding the end of the show. Edit: Though feed from the control room remains. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

My wife's translation of the sign: "Akatsuki presents key word!"
Interpretation: She chirped an "I'm okay" signal?

My sincerest thanks for your wife's translations.
I like your interpretation, I hope it's true. =) -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

She said "you're welcome".
The language barrier just makes the uncertainty worse, of course, but I don't think that they would have shown that sign unless things were not nearly as black as they seemed awhile back. We don't know if everything is nominal--based on what you wrote, doesn't seem like it--but it looks like Akatsuki is still in the game. Now to wait some more to see if she made orbit, I guess... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
