Now that iDOLM@STER 2 is out, my motivation to translate songs has resurfaced! The single came out on the 9th with 6 different vocal renditions plus the karaoke track. 7 versions! I think my favorite though is the Yukiho / Mami / Yayoi trio. I’ve included the usual suite of lyrics options. Of note is …

Another year has passed and with it another year of blogging has been added to the archives. I want to take this opportunity to reflect on how my blogging and other otaku-related activities have gone over the last year as well as layout my plans for the rest of this year. This is somewhat long …

Here’s the latest Amagami ending by class representative Ayatsuji! The song is about Ayatsuji’s anxieties over whether anyone will ever love her and how she has been hiding part of herself behind a lie. It’s really nice and conveys the sentiments that endear me to her very well. If only Juunichi would realize that he’s …

Here’s the first song made for the collaboration project between Sunrise, Dengeki G’s and Lantis that incorporates fan participation in its planning. The single was released in August but I haven’t gotten around to it until now; I wasn’t in a rush since no one really knows about Love Live! Anyway I find the song …

Here’s the second b-side Amagami character song that actually appeared in the anime. In English it translates to Stars and played during episode 20. Like Koi wa Aserazu, it reflects Rihoko’s passive yearning. I predict that Ayatsuji will also have both her songs in the anime. As such I figure I’ll also do the rest …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
