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 [...]
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 [...]
“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… [Audio clip: view full post [...]
zOMG I am sad. Who cares about Odex suing people? The voice behind ZARD, Izumi Sakai, passed away from an accident on Saturday. T_T ZARD (Izumi Sakai) Singer Izumi Sakai has died after sustaining head injuries in a fall from the edge of a hospital building in Tokyo, her management agency has announced. Sakai, a [...]
Anyway, Korean pop artiste Ivy recently had a music video “Temptation of Sonata” banned from TV because it ripped off recreated a scene from Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children without Square’s consent. Here’s a comparison made by some bored person: You can also view the original music video here. It’s actually a pretty cool live [...]
Phew, I made it! Today, 31st March (ending in Japan in another 30 10 minutes), is Maaya Sakamoto‘s birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! お誕生日おめでとう！ Yay! For the uninitiated, Maaya is the talented singer whose songs are featured in Escaflowne (she also voiced Hitomi), RahXephon and Wolf’s Rain. She also happens to be my most favourite-st artiste ever. [...]
Ryouko’s character image song. Enough said. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Read on for the lyrics.
Ryouko’s character CD came out about a week ago and I’ve been really enjoying her songs. I loooooved Natsuko Kuwatani’s “Sweet Connection” (especially the acoustic version) from the game True Love Story Summer Days, and yet.. so I had been looking forward to more of her. And I wasn’t disappointed. Not only did her rendition [...]
So, instead of spending last night dong last minute revision for the Higher Chinese O’level paper which I just took a few hours ago, I decided that it was a futile struggle and translated the OP of Sumomo mo Momo mo instead. This song has the coolest lyrics that I have ever seen. Seriously. But [...]
This song came up in my playlist shuffle today and I suddenly felt like translating it. Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora is a story of love and hope about a girl who suffers from a terminal illness. The lyrics of the OP song to the OVA do a good job of conveying the bittersweet [...]
I translated it. Yup. I do realize the inherent irony, but it’s just about the only single that I’ve downloaded recently. When boredom attacks, anything at hand works. Tomorrow’s Prism Vocal: Aya Hirano The sweet chimes ring in my heart, the signal to start. I bid farewell to the days spent waiting for the wind’s [...]
