New Translation Project

In the near future I will be translating Soutaiseiriron’s discography. It’s pretty short.

Chiffonism
1. Sumatran Guards
2. Love Bang-Bang
3. Summer’s Golden Ratio
4. Good Morning OOParts
5. Chemical Element Travelog

“OOPart” is a term from pseudosciences like cryptozoology and pseudoarchaelogy referring to an artifact found that allegedly is “too advanced” for the time it is dated to, and many say this must be proof of ancient astronaut theories, God or a scientific conspiracy to cover up past scientific advances. Most OOParts are hoaxes, or have mundane explanations willfully overlooked or misinterpreted by proponents. It’s a term rarely used by the scientific community.

Hi-fi Anatomia (33:21)
1. TV Tokyo
2. Teacher from Hell
3. Mystery Descartes
4. The Square Revolution
5. Shinagawa Number
6. Classroom Collapse
7. Refreshing Office Worker
8. Rénaissance
9. Vermont Kisses

Classroom collapse is an idiom that refers to when a teacher loses control of their students.

Synchroniciteen
1. Cinderella
2. Miss Parallel World
3. Artificial Satellite
4. Chinese Advice
5. (Love is a) Hundred Years’ War
6. Pepperoncino Candy
7. My Heart Hard Pinched
8. Thirty Million Years
9. That Curious Chick
10. Shogakukan
11. Moonlight Milky Way

Shogakukan is a publisher of magazines and also an award for Japanese manga.

TOWN AGE
1. Shanghaian
2. BATACO
3. YOU & IDOL
4. Kids No Return
5. Detective Tatsumi
6. Bulbis cordis
7. John Q
8. Comet
9. Imperial Capital Modern
10. Unexpected New Town

BATACO is misspelling of TABACO, the romanization for the Japanese word for cigarettes.

Bulbis cordis (colloquially called the bulb of the heart) refers to part of the heart of an embryo in the womb

John Q is short for John Q. Public, a somewhat dated term for the everyman, equivalent to John Smith or Joe Blow.

Shuuen no Shiori Shuuen Re:Mind Song Titles

  1. “-Counterclaim-”
  2. Revenge Revival

  4. Ending Dreamelody

ano mori de matteru/In that forest I am waiting (tv edit)
Bonjour Suzuki

Viens avec moi

The faintly echoing chimes of the church
Offering up prayers that turn against fear
As I roam about this dark forest
Becoming an incomplete piece of the Wall of Severance

Mingle with the Invisible Storm
With sweet and pale honey
Our desires become stickier and stickier
I’ll be a good girl, so please approve of me

Pages of a picture book fluttering in the wind
Endlessly rocking memories back and forth

Forever
I’ll be waiting at that place
In this dark world
Even though everything is broken

While I struggle vividly
Causing distortions in space-time
Find me already

Like flower petals
The pair of us will suddenly be draped
In this starry night

Hey, hey, hey

J'ai besoin de toi

Romaji:
viens avec moi

kasuka ni hibiki-wataru kyoukai no chaimu
inori wo sasage kyoufu wo uragiru
kurai mori no naka wo samayotte
danzetsu no kabe no zanketsu ni naru no

toumei na arashi ni majinasai
amai awai hachimitsu de motto
beto-beto ni shita onegai
ii ko ni naru kara atashi wo shounin shite

kaze ni matta ehon no peeji ga
kagiri-naku kioku wo yurasu yo

azayaka ni mogaki nagara

hanabiru no you pokkuri to

nee, nee, nee

j'ai besoin de toi

The number of my associates/friends that have changed their FB pics to the “Je Suis Charlie” image is frightening, appalling and disappointing to a point.

The other thing I keep seeing is this whole “attack on the freedom of expression” statement…

Yes, they had the right to publish their shitty, hateful images, but that does NOT mean that they are/were exempt from any and all consequences from publishing the content in question. Like yes, the whole thing is a horrid affair and the killings should be condemned, but when CH publishes such blatantly racist/islamophobic etc images (even when they’re supposed to be a left-wing paper, which is troubling, to say the least) , then you have to expect there to be some sort of consequences for your decisions/actions.

Perhaps as an English person, I do not have the same childhood/ teenage fondness for CH, and I did not see it as some sort of beacon of freedom of expression, but honestly, when you see the hateful crap they’ve spewed out under the guise of “satire”, how can you defend that?

Satire should NEVER be used to poke fun at and vilify already marginalised groups, especially when you’re supposed to be on the side of said groups.

My heart and condolences go out to the victims and their families, as well as the countless number of French Muslims and non-Muslims who “look like a Muslim” who will undoubtedly suffer in the wake of this atrocity. But that said, I will not stand beside CH.

Because their vile, hateful content does not reflect my values and beliefs.

Je Ne Suis Pas Charlie.

“Yes, they had the right to dress provocatively but that does NOT mean that they are/were exempt from any and all consequences from looking like a slut. Like yes, the whole thing is a horrid affair and the rapes should be condemned, a woman shows up drunk and alone to a frat party in a short skirt (even though she’s supposed to be setting an example for other women, which is troubling, to say the least), then you have to expect there to be some sort of consequences for your decisions/actions.”

Great victim blaming OP, you should write for Fox.

凛として時雨 (ling tosite sigure)

My heart will not stop ringing; the discord and empty sirens
Seem to be testing me. Answer me with the truth!
Blood-stained freedom is your dream, isn’t it?

My words quiver and I don’t even know my name.
But I know everything about you.

Though my tears well up nothing will ringing.
I can only breathe. Where is your mind going?
Imitation pain and freedom pull the strings from behind the scenes.
Futures and rendez-vous.

With this blow I will
bury your mazes and and awaken.
Who? what? who? what? permanent question marks are lined up.
Echoing distortions.
Within normality there is a perfect painted-over disorder.
I gave up on who? what? who? what? yet I’ve lost where I belong.
Good-bye to my emotions.

We just look like extremists
We can’t protect anything

My heart will not stop ringing; the discord and empty sirens
Seem to be testing me. Answer me with the truth!
The freedom that we made is starting to become immobile.
An unexpected mystery.

With this blow I will
bury your mazes and and awaken.
Who? what? who? what? permanent question marks are lined up.
Echoing distortions.
Within normality there is a perfect painted-over disorder.
I gave up on who? what? who? what? yet I’ve lost where I belong.
Good-bye to my emotions.

Good-bye to my emotions.

Answer me with the truth!
Answer me with the truth!
You’ve stuck it all to yourself.

My feelings fade away.
