Happy New Year, O Readers! is something I should've said yesterday (technically, earlier today), but it slipped my mind. So I'm saying it now. Ahaha... Speaking of "now," let's jump right in to it! The title track "THIS IS NOW" ended up having more to it than I had initially thought. I recommend reading straight …
Way back in June of last year I was having a conversation with some friends online about what characters from Sailor Moon the cast of Final Fantasy VII would cosplay. Eventually I got around to drawing some of those ideas. Some of these are really rough because not gonna lie, I didn't want to spend …
I'm once again about to start another series of Igu translations, this time taking it back to 2016's THIS IS NOW. Since "DREAM RIDER" is being used to promote exist†trace's participation in the Gynophobia Festival—it's not what it sounds like—and because it's the lead single, I decided to start from this track rather than from …
Since I only had one song left to do from The Only Garden, I figured this would be a fitting time to do it and once again give thanks to Silphion for showing me the liner notes from his physical copy of this great EP. I wouldn't have been able to do this anytime soon …

Happy November Igu Day! Well, I missed it by an hour in my time zone, but close enough. I have only one note for this song, the fourth track from The Only Garden, and as I don't feel like writing footnotes, I'll say it here. In the lyrics we find the English phrase "Nobody can't …
Happy Sweetest Day and early October Igu Day! I actually did most of this translation in early September, but then I got swamped with work and life again. Mostly life. It's been rough, some things are better while others might be worse, but... I wanted to have at least a few hours wherein my life …
I missed Igu Day this month, but I, too, am still not dead. Just dealing with a lot of time-consuming stuff, such as having to buy a new car and figure out how to use it (it's crazy going from an '04 to a '21), making major rearrangements around & repairs to the house because …
"ROUGE" is the second track on VANGUARD - Of the Muses - and the last track I have left to translate from that release! Woo! Unfortunately, miko hasn't written anything about this song on her blog; I only found posts that mentioned it in set lists. So I won't be able to share any officially …
July 5th through 12th was AeriSeph Week. I had an idea for a 4-panel comic but between working on a different piece and dealing with repeated basement flooding—essentially we've lost a whole floor of utility & storage space, and are going without a water heater until the foundation can be inspected & repaired—I couldn't participate …
I originally posted this translation in August of 2020. At the time, I knew that miko had done a series of blog posts explaining each track on the album VIRGIN. I didn't know that she had done the same thing for the tracks on the EP THE LAST DAYBREAK—even though she literally mentioned reader comments …
