Romanizations and translation of Japanese music
Feb 01 2010
Honya’s been on a translation tear lately, but when she mentioned that her next project was going to be Kuribayashi Minami’s tune Muv-Luv (because no one else has translated it yet, apparently), I begged her to let me do it instead. “Muv-Luv” is one of my favorite songs, and Muv-Luv Unlimited/Alternative would be on my …

Following up on more Nanoha Movie goodness I also translated its ending theme song. Basically if we assume the song is from Nanoha’s perspective this time since it’s sung by her seiyuu then it’s about how Nanoha can’t communicate her feelings to Fate properly through words and instead uses a bouquet of flowers in place …

The Nanoha Movie is almost out but I can’t watch it! Anyway here’s the lyrics for its theme song “PHANTOM MINDS.” The song is sung from Fate’s perspective obviously and is about how her meeting with Nanoha changed her life and how she’ll always come back to her. Good lord my Yuri Googles shattered the …

I’m not particularly a fan of BoA at all but I do like Tales games so I decided to do this song. Unlike past songs I’ve done Mamoritai has an official English version so I posted that AND my translation of the original Japanese version. The two versions are quite different so be sure to …

I hope everyone in the US enjoyed this Thanksgiving. Aside from relaxing I decided to translate Umineko’s new theme song today. This one was interesting to work on but I think it turned out well. Right after the translation I added a bunch of translation notes since I noticed a bunch of stuff while working. …

Even though Eri is my favorite idol from Dearly Stars, Ryo’s image song Dazzling World is probably my favorite new song. As the name suggests the song is about an eternal love that illuminates the entire world. I really like the lyrics and the flow of the song and just pretty much everything. Also Ryo …

Unlike only my railgun Dear My Friend is a much simpler song. However that doesn’t mean I enjoy it any less. It’s such a happy song that I worked on translation in a relaxed manner with a smile. I hope this song brings other “Railgunners” just as many smiles.

I know that the full version of this song has been floating around the internet for a while but I’m happy that the single officially came out today so that I could work on translating it. This song was somewhat tricky to translate but it was definitely worthwhile. After I finished I read through the …

Since Eri is still currently my favorite iM@S DS idol I felt obligated to translate this song. It’s a nice song about opening up and starting all over again just like how Eri did. I’m planning to work on the other new iM@S songs sometime as well. For now I hope you enjoy Precog (PURIKOGU):

Just when I had forgotten about the upcoming Macross F movie (due mid-November), a new single from Sheryl Nome (voiced by rising idol May’n) appeared! “pink monsoon” is a steamy song that really brings out Sheryl’s sultry idol image – my face was all red as I translated the lines! This is my first time …
