I don't think I've ever did an ALIPRO song before... right? I don't remember if I ever done one before for one very important reason that is Arika's lyrics are very elegant. The difficult type of elegance, if you get what I mean. Maybe this is the only time I'd ever attempted to translate Arika's lyrics...

Anyhow, this is currently my absolute ( Read more... )

Not for the better, but with a different interpretation of the lyrics. I have no other hobbies apparently except trying to teach myself Japanese. You can compare to what I did back in 2009 and see if I've improved in any way.

I still have a hard time determining the perspective of the story. One line it's Yui as the character in the story, while the ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to try to translate this ever since I found the song, that was the same day the OST was leaked I think. I still stands on the opinion that Yousei Teikoku's best song are always the insert songs or the b-side. The only A-side that surpassed this was Mischievous of Alice and none else.

Anyways this song is as Yousei Teikoku as it ( Read more... )

Welp. Not a very 'interesting' lyrics to a very good song. Not anything like "Carve out some proof that you were born in this word if you were to find your true self and your future" or "If she dares to dig her claws on you and takes you away again, I will kill her with my bare hands". Or I might be interpreting with a wrong perspective altogether ( Read more... )

I don't believe in bad music, only music I can't like. This song is pretty 'strange' compared to Rurutia's previous songs, and quite awkward to listen to since this is her first time experimenting with vocal manipulation program - a.k.a Autotune. Like what I might have said before, I have nothing agaist autotune. It's one of the styles of music. It ( Read more... )

I would say this is the best new song from the latest album. It's a pretty easy song to translate... or I might be misinterpreting the real message. Welp. If you trust my sketchy Japanese.

All Kanji, Romaji and translation is done by me.

RURUTIA - The Name of Anger
Lyrics by: RURUTIA

( Kanji )

I translated this before, but it was crap. So I thought I might try this again. I love this song the most of all their A-sides because I like songs with little to no verse repitition.

This song pretty much tells about a girl to be sacrificed to an unknown god. She simply accepted her fate, thinking that she would be in a much better place than the ( Read more... )

I thought I'd have no problem trying to translate, but I forgot how to English goodly.

RURUTIA - Mystic Pendulum
Lyrics by RURUTIA

Kanji version

( Romaji version )

As much as I love this band and this song, I felt like this time Yui got the inspiration from a certain dictator from the past that massacred a lot of people. Or it could have been from the Mirai Nikki animu. I don't know. I don't want to start watching an animu just to find out.

Translation made possible with Google translate.

B-side for Wonderland single. I find that I like this song better for no reason except it's much more heavier.

I don't think I did my best with this song.
