Okay, up next is the fourth and final KamiAso character album for the game! This one features the Egyptian gods, Anubis & Thoth, who were sadly demoted to minor characters in the anime, so it doesn't look like they'll be getting any new songs with these upcoming releases. Mind you, Anubis finally got to actually SAY SOMETHING in the anime after about 9 episodes of minor cameo appearances, and all he got to say was that "kai-barabara" thing he does before voice-of-the-heart becomes a viable option for communication for him like in the game. So I guess it's not that surprising on Anubis' end, but Thoth makes some pretty frequent appearances. Usually with him slamming Yui against a wall. But anyway!
(Tip Tap)
- Anubis' character song, which is super-adorable in all accounts! Thankfully, Kaji Yuuki gets to sing actual words and not random doggy noises~ I do love the man's voice~ (First time I heard him was a couple episodes of "Magi" as Alibaba, where I was thoroughly convinced he was Miyano Mamoru! Seriously, he sounds different every time I see him in a different role!)
- So the last album, which featured Balder and Loki, broke the long stretch (i.e. 2 albums / 4 songs) of straight Japanese lyrics without any other random language words thrown in, and from the looks of it, they will not be reverting back to that for the remainder of the series. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted~
(Judgement)
- Thoth's character song, which is very dramatic-sounding. And no wonder, since it's about the end of the world! o_O
- I have no idea what was up with the segment involving the butterfly kiss; it seemed kinda out of place with the rest of the lyrics...
And with that, we conclude the KamiAso game character song albums~ Next up will be the anime OP & ED themes, just in time for the release of the first anime character song album for Apollon & Hades~

Translation:
I wonder why my heart is pouding
So much that I’m trembling?
Half of my memories are filled with sorrow,
And yet they live here in my heart
Within my empty heart, large drops signal the rain
So I’ll happily hold onto your hand and your warm kindness!
Your soft hands, your cute hands!
Grasping them tightly-tip tap, tip tap-I’ll run any distance!
So much from the beginning, I love you so much!
We’ll al~ways be together!
When I don’t know where you are, when I can’t see you,
It’s so painfully heartbreaking
Holding you close, the temperature is shared between us
You taught me of this bond
A lonely good-bye, all of our happiness,
These feelings we share are expanding with all their might!
Your warmth, your honesty!
As long as we’re together-step up, step up-we’ll even overcome the scary things!
With our little fingers entwined, with a pinky swear,
I want to be the one closest to you!
Your soft hands, your cute hands!
Grasping them tightly-tip tap, tip tap-I’ll run any distance!
So much from the beginning, I love you so much!
We’ll al~ways be together!

この掌から弾かれた 砂の粒の様に
踊る世界から 見出す明日はあるか?
透かすGood and evil 生きる意味 愚かさ
繰り返した Time of judgment 幕は下りる
Break down, break out ゼロになれ
綴るページ閉じて還そう
望みなき未来なら せめて優しい終止符を
New world, make the world 始まりを
失くす事なき理想郷(ユートピア)へ
もう一度夢を見よう 時の揺りかごに抱かれ
この指の隙間零れ出す 一粒の煌めき
渇いた痛みに 潤いもたらす滴
所詮Just a whim 興味煽るファクター
ゆるくなぞる輪郭 滲んでいく
Your love, your truth… 震わせる
濡れた頬そっとバタフライキス
お前が紡ぐ答え ただ泡沫(うたかた)の幻
Loveless, loneliness 立ち尽くす
伝い落ちた涙は who are they?
残酷な過ちと 奥深く刻みつけて
強く澄んだ眼差し 胸を焦がす
Break down, break out ゼロになれ
綴るページ閉じて還そう
望みなき未来なら せめて優しい終止符を
Your love, your truth… 震わせる
濡れた頬そっとバタフライキス
お前が紡ぐ答え ただ泡沫(うたかた)の幻

Translation:
Like the grains of sand stricken from the palm of my hand,
Is there a tomorrow to be found from this dancing world?
Looking through good and evil, the foolishness of the meaning of life
The curtain is descending on the repeated time of judgement
Break down, break out! Reset to zero
Close the bound pages and send it back
If the future is hopeless, at least the end is merciful
New world, make the world! The beginning
Of a utopia without loss
I’ll show you that dream once more, embraced in the cradle to time
The glimmer of the grains that slip out through my fingers
A drop to bring moisture to the arid pain
After, it’s just a whim, a factor piquing my interest
Gently tracing over the lines, they blur
Your love, your truth… making you tremble
With a gentle butterfly kiss on your wet cheek
The answer you’ve come up with is only a fleeting illusion
Loveless, loneliness… Standing frozen in place,
Those streaming tears, what are they?
Engraved deeply with this cruel error
Yearning for this powerful clarifying gaze
Break down, break out! Reset to zero
Close the bound pages and send it back
If the future is hopeless, at least the end is merciful
Your love, your truth… making you tremble
With a gentle butterfly kiss on your wet cheek
The answer you’ve come up with is only a fleeting illusion
