Classes have ended, so I'm on summer vacation for now. Whew! I'd like to get a lot of stuff done on Warped Frost this summer. To that end, I decided on a posting schedule for exist†trace song translations. I'll post one song on the 1st, 9th, and 19th of the month. Naturally. And since I …

exist†trace — Spiral Daisakusen
Perhaps the only thing I like more than art is making fun of art. It comes from a place of love. ♡ When I was looking for skeleton keys for a piece (which ended up in this exhibit </shameless plug>), I bought a pack of keys with two designs. One had a crown, and the …
A Request
I have some text in the side bar to the right there that says "A Request". It reads: "So far I've tackled some really long translation projects, and given how much work I put into them, I want these translations to stay exclusively on Warped Frost. Especially GACKT's Air Moon! I'm glad if people read …
The Air Moon Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 8
This stop brings us to Nagoya, which will host the May 14, 2016 stop of the LAST VISUALIVE tour. "Nagoya Congress Center" is the English name of the whole convention center; "Century Hall" is the name of the specific hall where the concerts took/will take place. I don't recall if I've said this before, but …
exist†trace – RAZE
This is a short one, and seems to be a favorite among fans who prefer the harder sound exist†trace had more consistently years ago. As usual, the lyrics are taken from Rock Lyric, and there's a translation of an excerpt from miko's blog about the song after the lyric translation. The first half of her …

Any new readers or those wishing to reread earlier posts might want to go to the Table of Contents first. ☆ November 16, 2002 Tokyo International …
exist†trace – SHOOTING STAR
I just realized that Winter term classes don't start until January 11th. Woo! I might be able to make some good progress in both my Air Moon and exist†trace projects with such a long break from school. So here's one from the latter, keeping on with World Maker. After the Japanese & romaji lyrics is …
The Air Moon Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 6
So I signed in several weeks ago thinking I'd bust out this one stop right quick, when I happened to see on my WordPress dashboard that one of the search engine terms that led someone here was "air moon gackt english pdf." That was a bit troubling. As is written in the "Request" in the …
The Air Moon Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 5
I had translated a little bit of this a few days ago in celebration of the fact that I accomplished one of the things I was trying to do this summer. I finished it today because I was so angry at someone, and then angry at myself for letting stuff get to me like that, …
exist†trace — Nagai Yume no Owari ni
"Nagai Yume no Owari ni" is the second to last track on exist†trace's album World Maker. In her blog explaining this track, miko mentioned that this song was originally performed as the last in a 3-song medley beginning with "Ritoru Mearii to Utsukushiki Nikushimi no Donau", a track which eventually appeared on VIRGIN. (She doesn't …
