Starting my translation journey through the new album, CONTEMPORARY EMOTION , with the opening track! I'll be going through the songs in a random order from here on out, but if there's any particular song you'd like me to tackle do let me know! QC by Chinatsu as per usual. 拍動 作詞:堀江晶太 作曲:Giga×堀江晶太 編曲:Giga×堀江晶太 Japanese English 僕等よ はじまれ 青く青く 果てまで Let us begin till an endless, endless blue 繭の底…
So a bit of an exception, but I felt like translating this Finnish song that has been stuck in my head since last week when I first heard it. It's about all the people working thankless yet utterly important jobs in society and it kinda just struck a cord with me. Anyways, humor me and give it a listen! Näihin hommiin ei synnytä song and lyrics by Portion Boys Finnish English Näihin hommiin ei…
Trying to keep at it with the lyrics translations and this is another song I've been wanting to do for quite some time as I really, really like it. QC is done by Chinatsu, no surprises there! :3 エゴアイディール 作詞:水樹奈々 作曲:水樹奈々 編曲:藤間 仁(Elements Garden) Japanese English 言いたいこと言えなくって 書き殴って 破り捨てて いつになれば手放せるの 傷だらけノート I don't say the things I want to say scribble it off, tear and throw it away when will I be…
I know this is a summer song, but I've been really wanting to translate it as it is one of my top favorites from Nana ever so don't judge me for doing so in the middle of winter lol. Before I dive in though I'd like to mention that the title itself contains a made up word, 恋想 (= rensou ), in it so there isn't really a "correct" translation for it and I went for what seemed to be close to the…
Been a bit busy for a while but I am back to celebrate the upcoming start of season 3 of BEASTARS with a translation of the second season opening song, Kaibutsu (怪物) ! So yes, I am continuing on with YOASOBI for a bit before I go back to my usual Nana shenanigans. QC by the lovely Chinatsu as always. Also, it's worth noting again that there is an official English version of this song too, but as…
A bit of a change of pace this time with some YOASOBI! As we were really into Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury when it aired, this translation is brought to you as a collaboration between me and @flying_mug , with QC by Chinatsu as always. It's worth noting that YOASOBI has released an English version , but since they had to stick to the pacing of the song and the melody, it can't quite…
Going back to Nana's roots with this one, as hearing Thermidor in LIVE JUNGLE really got me into the mood for translating it (not to mention it remains to this day one of my top favorite Nana songs ever). I will never tire of the melancholic vibe of this song! QC by Chinatsu! テルミドール 作詞:白石澄子 作曲: 白石敬昭 編曲: 白石敬昭 (↑ will check from my copy of NOёL La neige 門倉千紗都 départ chisato×nana later!) Japanese…
I am adrenalized and raring to go with more translations, so here is ADRENALIZED as promised! Even though I haven't been too into this song, it was fun to translate due to how much it exudes the feeling of racing and adrenaline. Also been a while since I had to write so many translation notes! QC by Chinatsu as always! ADRENALIZED 作詞:水樹奈々 作曲:光増ハジメ 編曲:光増ハジメ Japanese English Come on! New world!…
I know ADRENALIZED got slightly more votes than sympathy on my poll, but since this was my favorite from the new single I kinda jumped the gun and did this one first (don't worry, ADRENALIZED is also on its way though!). This was a pretty fun one to do, though I am quite sure that whatever is being felt here towards the other person is something else than sympathy.... LOL Anyways, QC by the lovely…
Back to my translations yet again! 優しい記憶 won my poll way back for the ADRENALIZED single, so here it is - sorry for the wait. Will be dishing out quite a few translations in the upcoming days to make up for it though! 優しい記憶 was pretty straightforward compared to the usual Nana fare, but sometimes a simpler song is quite nice as a change of pace. QC credits to my bestie Chinatsu as per usual. 優しい記憶…
