The Air Moon Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 9

On July 4, 2016December 25, 2021 By scalesoflibraIn Translation1 Comment

Happy Birthday to GACKT, the United States, and Steve Rogers! Is everyone enjoying the party? Anyway, this part turned out to be surprisingly short at just four pages for two days' worth of shows. The venue name may seem familiar if you recall the Hokkaido show in Part 5. Interestingly there were several of these …

exist†trace — WORLD MAKER

On July 1, 2016December 26, 2021 By scalesoflibraIn Translation1 Comment

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

On June 19, 2016 By scalesoflibraIn Blogging, Design, Translation1 Comment

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

On February 24, 2016December 25, 2021 By scalesoflibraIn Translation7 Comments

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

On January 24, 2016December 26, 2021 By scalesoflibraIn TranslationLeave a comment

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 …

exist†trace – SHOOTING STAR

On December 27, 2015 By scalesoflibraIn TranslationLeave a comment

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

On December 23, 2015December 25, 2021 By scalesoflibraIn Translation5 Comments

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

On September 3, 2015December 25, 2021 By scalesoflibraIn Translation8 Comments

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, …

A Request

Thank you for visiting Warped Frost! I hope you enjoy your time here.

So far I’ve tackled some really long translation projects, and given how much work I put into them, and the fact that I am NOT making money off of this (notice the lack of ads?) I want these translations to stay exclusively on Warped Frost. I’m glad if people read my translations, of course, and don’t mind being linked to. Same goes for my artwork and photographs.

よろしくお願いしま〜す!m(_ _)m

Scenes from around Warped Frost

Tsuki no Matsu, the "Moon Pine" in Ueno Park. I don't know if this is the same tree ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige depicted in his "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" prints, or if it's that the nearby temple has been grooming different pines into this shape for hundreds of years. (May 2016)

On the door to Shin-eiji Temple (an annex of Naritasan Temple) in Sapporo, they translated "Pray freely" to "Pray it freely", which I thought felt more poetic. (May 2016)

Umegaemochi, a kind of mochi with sweet bean paste inside and a plum mark grilled onto the outside. A specialty of Dazaifu, there are several shops on the sandō that sell it. Yum! (April 2016)

From an ice cream stand on the 参道 (sandō, the road leading up to a temple or shrine) to Dazaifu Tenmangū. They sell normal flavors & unusual flavors. Black sesame isn't that unusual, but I recommend their tofu flavored ice cream and corn flavored ice cream too. (April 2016)
