[Lyrics] GOSICK OP – Destin Histoire [yoshiki*lisa]

gosick-op

This is definitely one of my favorite anime songs. For this song I chose to keep the original French in the translation. However I also used the dfn HTML tag to display English words when you scroll over the French with the exception of Mystification since it’s the same in English. Hopefully this should be …

[Lyrics] Usagi Drop OP – SWEET DROPS [PUFFY]

usagi-drop-op

Whenever this song starts playing at the beginning of Usagi Drop, it gets me in the mood for adorable action. It’s also the theme song for the Usagi Drop movie which I only learned of its existence today. I only have a couple of notes for this translation. First, I tried to make it sound …

[Lyrics] Ro-Kyu-Bu! ED – Party Love ~Okkiku Naritai~ [RO-KYU-BU!]

ro-kyu-bu-op-ed

Overall I like SHOOT! more than Party Love but this is addictive in its own way. This was also pretty easy to translate. I only have one note to make which is in the line with “shrimp.” In Japanese there is a pun where it reads E, as in rank E, which happens to be …

[Lyrics] Ro-Kyu-Bu! OP – SHOOT! [RO-KYU-BU!]

ro-kyu-bu-op-ed

SHOOT! is one of my favorite opening songs from the Summer 2011 season and Ro-Kyu-Bu! is one of my favorite anime of the season so I knew I had to work on this song as soon as possible. I actually had a draft of this done a couple of days ago but I didn’t have …

[Lyrics] Love Live! School idol project 2nd Single – Snow halation [μ’s]

snow-halation

After a long wait here’s a translation for my favorite Love Live! song. Snow halation just sounds so beautiful and the choreography for the PV is so nice that sometimes I can’t stop listening to it and singing along. Definitely has a different feel to it compared to Bokura no LIVE Kimi to no LIFE …

A wonderful song for a wonderful anime. I don’t think I have much to say really so please do enjoy this upbeat song! (P.S. Unfortunately I don’t have a high-resolution scan of the CD booklet so I had to make do with this small image for now. I’ll replace it when I find a proper …

[Lyrics] Yuru Yuri ED – My Pace de Ikimashou [Nanamorichuu☆Gorakubu]

yuru-yuri-ed

As promised here Yuru Yuri’s ED. There’s an abundance of repeated sounds in this song so I decided to repeat words or use two similar-sounding words in my translation to preserve the general melody of the original lyrics. For example in the line Tsuntsun Deredere Hanaji ga dobadoba, I used lovey-dovey for deredere and doubled …
