[Lyrics] Amagami SS Character Insert Song – minamo [Nanasaki Ai]

After much delay here’s minamo which means the surface of the water. The song played in episode 15 during a critical scene. It shares much of the same imagery as Ai’s other song Koi wa Mizuiro except it has a much more story-like quality; it takes us from the encounter in the park to Ai’s …

[Lyrics] Amagami SS ED5 – Koi wa Aserazu [Sakurai Rihoko]

amagami-ss-ed5

Here’s the latest ending theme song from Amagami. It tells the story of how Rihoko has over time come to fall in love with Junichi though is unable to express her feelings. Thematically it’s similar to Kaoru’s Kitto Ashita wa… and her arc in general although Rihoko has of course been holding in her feelings …

[Lyrics] Fortune Arterial: Akai Yakusoku ED – I miss you [Veil]

fortune-arterial-akai-yakusoku-ed

I miss you is a fairly simply song that heavily repeats the phrase “I miss you.” Verses 2 and 3 also have some interesting structural parallels with 5 and 6 but there really isn’t much else to say about the lyrics. It’s pleasant to listen to at least. The CD itself has multiple versions of …

[Lyrics] K-ON!! Insert Song – Tenshi ni Fureta yo! [HO-KAGO TEA TIME]

ho-kago-tea-time-second

So I didn’t realize this song was already out until late last night since I thought it would be released as a single first. Anyway this is the song that Yui and the original members sing to Azusa before leaving school for the last time. It’s a really touching song that sums up the wonderful …

[Lyrics] Amagami SS ED4 – Koi wa Mizuiro [Nanasaki Ai]

amagami-ss-ed4

Finally here’s my favorite of the Amagami EDs thus far. It helps that Ai is my favorite girl. The lyrics are a bit “choppy” at parts and has a good deal of repetition of sound so I tried to preserve those qualities in the translation. Trying to string together the words was an interesting experience …

[Lyrics] Otome Youkai Zakuro OP – MOON SIGNAL [sphere]

otome-zakuro-op

I’ve been following Sphere since it was formed but I’ve recently become a bigger fan with Asobi ni Iku yo!‘s fantastically addicting OP. In contrast with the future pop of that song this one takes us back in time. The lyrics sound very classical so I tried to keep the English similar and a little …

[Lyrics] Motto To LOVE-Ru OP – Loop-the-Loop [KOTOKO]

motto-to-love-ru-op

Although Loop-the-Loop isn’t as catchy as the original anime’s opening it still has it’s own charm. It’s use of quirky space and “science” imagery is very in tune with the tone of the show. It’s a little hard to sing but that’s not that surprising for a KOTOKO song. Anyway I hope you enjoy this. …
