Yes, I've been dead for 3 months. But now Steins;Gate animu is here and I have things to transliterate, yay!

A few notes with this: Some of the kanji compounds had alternate hiragana readings in parentheses next to them; the pronunciation in parentheses is what Itou sings in the song, so that's what I included in these lyrics.

EDIT: Also, after some ( Read more... )

This one was a request, but the song has grown on me already... It's fairly beast.

Original kanji from here, Youtube of the music video here. Note, though, that the "album arrangement" version of the lyrics I've transliterated do not seem to match the verson in the music video; there seem to be whole sections of lyrics missing, but maybe I'm just ( Read more... )

Today I volunteered at a "community garden" downtown. I watered plants for close to 2 hours to get credit for a freshman "survey class." Kinda stupid, right? (But I like volunteering at random places, so I was cool with it ( Read more... )

Me and Cherry-chan need programmers and artists for a quasi-full-fledged, as-professional-as-possible visual novel to be sold at Anime Punch in April.

Yes, we're crazy. But yes, we're probably serious about this.

At this point, I'm the artist and she's the writer, but since she'll need help writing it I will definitely be needing another artist with ( Read more... )

Part of me wonders why I even bothered with this song since it's pretty short and repetitive. Part of me is glad I went ahead and did it.

I normally don't care much for capsule's music outside of Starry Sky, but Hanabi's certainly enjoyable, as is Oyasumi (which will have lyrics and a translation added shortly, yay)

Japanese lyrics here, full song here, no special lyric notes because this ain't an Itou Kanako song, yay.
