Hi!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for translating this.
Because I'm curious about this song.

I'm happy it was useful. Thanks for reading :)

I didn't know about it, too, before starting this work!
I had so much fun writing it!
I'm glad it's useful.

>it's definitely the most fruitful part of their career (artistically speaking) !
I am impressed also by more recent works, but well, you're right, the period 1998-99 is something unique in their career.
Thank you :)
