Oh my god! It’s finally here! The Holy Grail! The first song that Maaya and her former mentor Yoko Kanno have worked together on in almost half a decade! Triangler is the first opening song for Macross Frontier. Lyrics translation and fanboying after the break.
My favourite singer Maaya Sakamoto and famous anime composer Yoko Kanno are working on a new song together! Oh my god! This is like having two birthdays in the same year, except that my birthday this year was pretty crappy, so I guess it’s more like one and a half birthdays.
Dancing in the velvet moon is one of the songs on Nana Mizuki’s new mini album STARCAMP EP, and it also happens to be the ED theme to Rosario + Vampire’s unbearably fanservicy anime adaptation, which, I shall once again take the opportunity to remind everyone, is a travesty to the awesome page-turner that is [...]
Ash Like Snow is the second OP theme to Gundam 00. I was never a fan of the brilliant green and I still think that this song doesn’t feel OP-ish, but the lyrics are great and the booklet art has Tomoko sitting on Kaneda’s bike while holding an orange Haro, and that’s pretty awesome in [...]
By my usual post-title-naming convention, this entry should have been “Gundam 00 - Friends”, but I decided that G00 isn’t worthy of this song. Also, I think I have more than enough entries on that as it is. So anyway, I translated the full lyrics of Stephanie’s latest song Friends, which also happens to be the [...]
As you may know, I am a huge Maaya Sakamoto fanboy. So you can believe me when I say that her recent songs had been quite disappointing ever since she parted ways with her composer and mentor Yoko Kanno. Which is why Saigo no Kajitsu (The Last Fruit) is such a pleasant surprise for me. Not [...]
Remember the 2ch hit flash animation with the spinning leek? An indie Finnish song that achieved Internet fame thanks to a fateful fusion of Japanese otaku culture, Macromedia and Bleach, Ievan Polkka lives again! Hatsune Miku Well, I’m in love with the song all over again thanks to this YouTube video and a crazy piece of software [...]
Dear Genshiken 2, I’m sorry I said all those mean things to you. I thought you lost your way, but after watching episode 2 and 3, I realized that you were just holding back your true powers in order to give us a pleasant surprise. I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive [...]
Utada Hikaru - Beautiful World Beautiful World by Utada Hikaru is the theme song of the new Rebuild of Evangelion movie. I personally think that it’s her best and most awesome song ever, but maybe the relationship to Evangelion is clouding my judgement. I fell in love with this song after watching the movie trailer on [...]
For no particular reason whatsoever, the lyrics section now has its own RSS 2.0 feed! Woohoo! The feed displays the ten latest translations and comes in either English or Japanese. Because the whole database and PHP interface for the lyrics section were thrown together haphazardly by me some time ago, I now have absolutely zero idea [...]
“Uninstall” by Chiaki Ishikawa is the awesome opening of Bokurano. Chiaki is the vocal half of the popular duo See-Saw (the other half being Yuki Kajiura). Although her voice is superb, most of her songs outside of See-Saw have been at best above average. So it comes as quite a surprise that Uninstall managed to [...]
I have been listening to Danzai no Hana for the past few days. It is the ED theme to CLAYMORE. A really awesome song for a really awesome show. I think it’s a really apt song for Clare the lonely heroine. I am tempted to order the CD from Amazon… The English lyrics below are translated [...]
