The Air Moon Ch. 5: Moon Child, Part 2

Posted on May 24, 2017 by scalesoflibra • 4 Comments

Sorry if anyone following the blog got the draft version of this in their email; I was sleepy and accidentally hit “Publish” instead of “Save Draft.” ^o^; That version hadn’t been edited for clarity, and was missing the last two pages of this chapter. I wanted to hurry up and finish but things kept popping … Continue reading →

The Air Moon Ch. 5: Moon Child, Part 1

Posted on October 31, 2016 by scalesoflibra • 3 Comments

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 … Continue reading →

The Air Moon Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 0

Posted on September 28, 2014 by scalesoflibra • 3 Comments

We’ve arrived at the longest chapter of The Air Moon, Chapter 4: Kagen no Tsuki. This bad boy comes in at 84 pages! Given its length (and also the fact that I’m much busier now), I’ve decided to take this chapter at smaller chunks at a time than I did with the live house tour … Continue reading →

The Air Moon Chapter 3: Taiwan

Posted on August 11, 2014 by scalesoflibra • 5 Comments

While this chapter is titled “Taiwan,” it mostly consists of an interview with Gackt about MOON CHILD. Of course, the topic of Taiwan and traveling abroad does come up, and the interview was conducted there. I had so far avoided putting hyperlinks to other sites (e.g. Wikipedia) directly into the translated text. On the one hand, … Continue reading →

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

Is it me you’re looking for?

Scenes from around Warped Frost

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)

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)
