[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. …

[Lyrics] Amagami SS OP2 – Kimi no Mama de [azusa]

amagami-ss-op2

Amagami’s new OP like the first is extremely catchy. Between the words that evoke the winter season, the reciprocal love that moves from the past into the future and the ability to be oneself around one’s lover, the song produces a really wonderful image. Of course it’s wrapped up in a nice rhythm that’s fun …

[Lyrics] Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai OP – irony [ClariS]

oreimo-op

Considering that OreImo is my favorite show of the season, it’s no surprise that it managed to take me out of my translation slump. The OP is a wonderful song that expresses Kirino’s honest feelings very well. I don’t want to take up too much space raving about how much I love Kirino so I’ll …

[Lyrics] To Heart 2 ad ED – Kimi ga Nokoshita Mono [Uehara Rena]

Here’s the latest song for my To Heart 2 mini project. This time it is the ending for ad and ad plus. In English the title translates into What You Left Behind. Unlike the OP the two TV-size versions use the same few verses. Unfortunately this will be the last To Heart song for the …

[Lyrics] To Heart 2 ad OP – Niji no Kakehashi [Uehara Rena]

to-heart-2-ad-op-ed

So I decided to do a second song for today. This time it’s the opening theme for the OVAs To Heart 2 ad and To Heart 2 ad plus; ad uses the first part of the song while ad plus uses the second. I wonder if ad next will use the same songs? Anyway the …

[Lyrics] To Heart 2 ED – Tomoshibi [Suara]

Here’s today’s To Heart 2song translation post. This time it’s the original series’ ending theme which means Lamp or Light though I’ve chosen to go with light whenever it is mentioned in the song. It’s pretty much about the singer overcoming her troubles herself with a light burning in her heart. It’s a really nice …

[Lyrics] To Heart 2 OVA OP – Ichibanboshi [Suara]

maaryan-hug-sasara

Here’s the second song in my mini To Heart 2 translation project. The title means First Evening Star. It’s a nice song but the arrangement of the original lines makes for some interesting English. I realize I’ve skipped a song but I’ll get to that tomorrow. Until then enjoy!

[Lyrics] To Heart 2 OP – Hello [Ikeda Haruna]

to-heart-2-op-ed

As I mentioned in a previous post I want to start working on translating older songs that have been neglected. Since the first episode of To Heart 2 adnext is being released this week I decided to start off with the opening of the original To Heart 2 anime. Looking over the lyrics it really …

[Lyrics] Amagami SS ED3 – Anata Shika Mienai [Nakata Sae]

amagami-ss-ed3

Here’s Sae’s ending song performed by her voice actress Konno Hiromi. The title translates to You’re the Only One I Can See. This song’s pretty much cuteness overload so I can only listen to a few times in any given stretch of time. This arc was pretty goofy as always so I’m curious as to …
