[Lyrics] Angel Beats! Insert Song – Ichiban no Takaramono (Original Version) [karuta]

angel-bests-ost

The karuta version of Ichiban no Takaramono is slightly different from the Yui Version. The main difference is that verses 1 and 4 are completely unique to each version. There are also a few changes scattered around the song but most are variations of “you” to “everyone.” I’m not sure which one I like more. When possible I kept the sentence structure of the translations the same between versions. Anyway enjoy the original version of the lyrics.

[Lyrics] Amagami SS ED1 – Kimi no Hitomi ni Koi shiteru [Morishima Haruka]

amagami-ss-ed1

The first Amagami SS ending song is credited to heroine Morishima Haruka who’s played by Itou Shizuka. I don’t find the song particularly amazing or anything but I like Morishima as a character since she’s so weird. With that said I’ll be doing the rest of the series’s songs as well so look forward to them whenever a new one is released. For now just be content with Morishima-senpai.

[Lyrics] Seitokai Yakuindomo OP – Yamato Nadeshiko Education [TRIPLE BOOKING]

seitokai-yakuindomo-op

You know what? It took me a while to realize that SYD stood for Seitokai YakuinDomo? Anyway hopefully the translation came out fine. One part I’d like to note is that the lyrics that go “Isshin doutai Doutai?” can be translated as “As one soul and one body. One Body?” which goes along with the whole perversion of the show. It sounded a little awkward to me so I choose not to use that translation. I may change it in the future if I can think of a better way to phrase it or just end up liking it better. Anyway have fun singing along like usual.

THE iDOLM@STER 2: PV and Impressions

Everyone knew it was coming eventually but Namco Bandai finally officially announced THE iDOLM@STER 2 recently. It doesn’t come as a surprise given the 2nd Vision initiative to revitalize the franchise but now we have solid information about the title. I did some slight speculation about the game (but mostly praying for features I want) a few months ago and I’m glad some of my wishes have come true.

Amagami SS Episode 01: So ronery

amagami-morishima-wp-1920-1200

Amagami is the second series that I have started from the new season. It’s the show I’ve been looking forward to the most due to my experience with it’s predecessor Kimikiss. Right away it’s evident that the two anime are pretty similar both being romance series from the same developer and having familiar character designs. However the drama of Kimikiss focused on the twists and turns of first love. The protagonist, Tachibana Junichi, has already passed that stage…for the worst.

Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi: Kuroko Strikes Back

ookami-san-eyecatch

Now that the summer anime season has begun I decided to watch Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi first since it is one of the first shows to start airing. From the get go with it’s take on Cinderella it’s easy to tell that the show will be unique in it’s interpretations of classic fairy tails. However I’m not here to talk about that. What most excited me about the show was the narrator. Yes the narrator. Why? Because it’s Arai Satomi, the voice of Shirai Kuroko.

[Lyrics] K-ON!! – Sakuragaoka Joshi Koutougakkou Kouka (Rock Ver.) [HO-KAGO TEA TIME]

pure-pure-heart-1

Here’s a request by a certain anon. This song was released with the Pure Pure Heart single and is a rock version of the school song for Sakuragaoka Girls’ Senior High School (桜ヶ丘女子高等学校高歌). You can hear the regular version in the first episode of K-ON!! The song’s pretty nice and the lyrics are pleasant. I kept in mind that the song is a school theme so I tried to keep it sounding school song-y if that even makes sense. Anyway translation below.

[Lyrics] Angel Beats! Insert Song – Ichiban no Takaramono (Yui Ver.) [Girls Dead Monster]

Keep-the-Beats

Here’s the single that many people have been waiting for. Ichiban no Takaramono (My Most Precious Treasure) played at the end of episode 10 and towards the end of episode 13. Both were really emotional scenes of departure and the song really fits that motif. Apparently these are lyrics for the Yui Version but I think they are the same as the version sung by karuta. Anyway please enjoy my translation!
