You can see the Japanese text of the lyrics on Rock Lyric. The romanization is below, or you can jump to the English translation. I had been translating the relevant miko blogs for each song, but as very few people are seeing this, and I can't be sure the people who have landed on exist†trace …

The Air Moon Ch. 5: Moon Child, Part 1
I wasn't going to update this until around Thanksgiving, but since Chapter 5 is about MOON CHILD and October is the season for vampires, I figured it would be most appropriate to do this now. While it is a relatively short chapter at just 18 pages, I don't have time to do it all at …

Eli: The moon is waxing gibbous tonight, which means it's time to tally the votes from the previous post and see whether you chose Trick or Treat. And the winner is...Trick! Oh, you playful readers you, that's what I like to see. ^o~ That said my idea of a fun trick is rick rolling people, …

The light of the waxing gibbous moon shall reveal the effects of your choice. 🎃♪ Play along by leaving a comment saying either "Trick" or "Treat."

exist†trace — Feel
Earlier this month, Archangel Diamond revealed in a tweet that copies of World Maker purchased through them would include an English lyrics card. They certainly get an A+ for thinking of this and adding it to the CD. I think it's a great step toward getting closer to English-speaking fans. I really do. Unfortunately, however...the …
The Alchemist In Situ
When I first introduced my project to make an unusual bookshelf, I mentioned that it ultimately was to go in a particular corner of my room. While I've already unveiled the finished product in the post about my program's exhibit this past June, I wanted to show what it looks like in situ. I also …

Draw It Again Challenge: Sailor Moon 20 Years Later
Over twenty years ago, Sailor Moon began airing on TV in the US. I was curious about the show for two reasons. 1. Although I liked American cartoons like The Simpsons and Animaniacs, I was fascinated that there could be a show for children where the characters were drawn so beautifully they actually had elbows …

The Air Moon, Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 11
As we draw nearer to the end of this tour, we find ourselves in Fukuoka. I wonder if Hirose himself is from there, considering how much he gets into the specific locales of the city. Because of all the mentions of specific places, I added glosses instead of doing footnotes to explain things like "this …

exist†trace — Imagination
For this song, there are several places where the lyrics as presented on Rock Lyric differ from what's actually sung. However, due to the nature of the differences, I don't believe these to be typos (save for maybe the extra "wa" in the first line); these are probably cases of the the sung & written …
