I wrote this in one day but couldn't decide on a translation for the title. To my surprise a whole month passed before I sat down to look at it again. And then I got distracted by today's Daily Writing Prompt, for which an answer popped into my head immediately. (LOL) Anyway, miko did a …

exist†trace — Hitohira
Though this song has been around for a while, I think I hadn't heard it until now. My first thought was "this sounds like it should be the ending theme for a movie." miko explained this song in her bilingual "self liner notes" series on her blog. The most important part is right at the …
exist†trace — VENUS
Happy belated November Igu Day! Unbeknownst to me, exist†trace released a new album on the 19th of this month. I've given it a few listens since finding out about it and buying a digital copy. This track, "VENUS," stood out to me from the first listen. Overall it reminded me of U2's "Hold Me, Thrill …
exist†trace — Honnou
Was "Umi no Shizuku" used in an anime or something? I've been getting a lot of hits because of that song. I searched but the top result is for a nutritional supplement. Maybe that's what people are looking for? And they end up here instead. LOL Anyway, at this point the only EP I've done …
exist†trace — ROYAL STRAIGHT MAGIC
This song is, fittingly, straightforward. I didn't need to read miko's blog about it to understand anything about the song, though I did read it anyway and found it funny that she said the interlude sounded like something from an RPG, which made her envision a hero raising their sword. Personally, I get more Yugi-Oh …
exist†trace – Tokoyami no Yoake
A belated Happy New Year, O Readers! I can't remember why I decided to do this song next and it's not particularly happy, but it was in my drafts so I'm going with it. This song appeared on the 2011 EP True and is the "prequel" to Omi's "Yoake no Hikari." Her blog post about …
exist†trace — Shout Out
Happy September Igu Day! I've had this song in my drafts since July. (^_^;) I hadn't actually started working on it, I just transliterated the lyrics and copied links to the relevant blog posts. And then I went off to do other things. But, well, here we are now! As is written on Archangel Diamond's …
exist†trace — BLAST
With the release of the compilation album NEO JAPANESE HEROINE, I wanted to do more of the tracks that are on that album specifically. Hence why today I jump to "BLAST," the last track on THIS IS NOW. Songs like this that have a lot of English interspersed can actually be harder to translate, because …
exist†trace – Yoake no Hikari
Back in January, exist†trace chose "Yoake no Hikari" for a performance they made available to all on YouTube for Igu Day, and I started doing this translation then. But then the moment passed and I continued on with tracks from THIS IS NOW. With Omi's birthday having just passed, I figured it was a good time to …
Neo-Japanese Heroine – exist†trace
March 7th is miko's birthday, so I thought it appropriate to jump to this track to celebrate! Besides the lyrics, I've translated miko's blog about it, too. Lyrics can be found here on Rock Lyric. ☆ Neo japaniizu hiroin tomaranai kimi wa afuredasu kimi wa honto no kimi neo japaniizu hiroin togatta tsume wo kakushi …
