Escapes ~ Foreground Eclipse

March 6, 2022

This is one of the (many) songs I have never translated because there were already too many translations or something. Anyway, it’s time for me to start translating all the songs I never translated back there even though I love them. Notes I’ve been thinking a lot about who this phrase is referring to -and … More Escapes ~ Foreground Eclipse

You May Not Want To Hear This But ~ Foreground Eclipse

February 25, 2022

I’ve been thinking whether I should re-translate (or translate, because I don’t think I have ever translated their first album) all Foreground Eclipse’s song, and I came to the conclusion that I will most likely not do that. I might also skip the Kogasa arrangement because I don’t dig it at all, but I might … More You May Not Want To Hear This But ~ Foreground Eclipse

When Innocence is Just a Mask ~ Foreground Eclipse

February 18, 2022

I will probably re-translate some more Foreground Eclipse’s songs, because why not (also, old translations are old and FgE are/were my favorite band). /WHY THEY DISBANDED/ Notes There is no explicit “ ‘cause” in Japanese, but this phrasing conveys better the original meaning. I wish I could say this is a straightforward phrase with no … More When Innocence is Just a Mask ~ Foreground Eclipse

Sprechchor ~ Roselia

February 11, 2022

This song is too good to not translate it. If you haven’t read Roselia’s 3rd chapter in-game, I highly recommend you to do so. Most (all?) of Roselia’s songs are connected a lot to their related in-game event or chapter, so you will most likely enjoy this song way more after reading it. Notes This … More Sprechchor ~ Roselia

Sing Alive ~ Roselia

August 28, 2021

This literally means “Under the eternity named we/us”, but I decided to paraphrase it a bit. This is similar to point 1 as for the first part of the phrase where “the soul named us” has been paraphrased. As for the second part, it says that “the soul will always beat at the same heartbeat”. … More Sing Alive ~ Roselia

overtuRe ~ Roselia

August 14, 2021

Notes Well, well, well. Like pretty much every other Roselia’s song, there are a lot of references to other lyrics and songs. I’m not sure I ever mentioned this to be honest, but still. Better late than never, I guess? The “Blue Rose” is, of course, “Roselia”. A more direct translation would be “Beliefs that … More overtuRe ~ Roselia

Song I Am ~ Roselia

August 7, 2021

The number of references to LOUDER in this one is so high. You can probably enjoy this song (and LOUDER, I would say) a lot more if you know the background about those two songs. If you don’t know it, here is the short version of it: in the story, LOUDER is a song written … More Song I Am ~ Roselia

Keep Heart (short ver.) ~ Roselia

February 26, 2021

Truth is, I was surprised to discover that nobody on the Wikia translated this song yet, even if it’s been about a month since its release. Since this is a short version and, on top of it, it’s a by ear transcription — read, there are no official lyrics yet — I will update this … More Keep Heart (short ver.) ~ Roselia

ZEAL of proud ~ Roselia

February 12, 2021

CTRL+F will (almost) be your best friend. Here the verb used in Japanese is to “sing solemnly”, or “to chant”. As for us, “shouts” conveys in English the strong feelings that the Japanese verb wants to communicate better. Here we figured out that what in the Japanese lyrics is “shaking” is the heart. The speaker … More ZEAL of proud ~ Roselia
