Happy New Year, everyone! Well, considering this album came out several months ago and 「→REDRUM←」 is giving me a metaphorical aneurysm, it's about time I do some more UtaPri! Broccoli released a "Shining All Star CD2" at the end of September 2015. If you remember, the original "Shining All Star CD" came out in late 2012 and featured the very first ( Read more... )

Sorry for the wait, everyone! Classes are back in session and I've already got two projects to occupy most of my time. By popular demand, here is the first of the new group songs to come out in the Diabolik Lovers "Bloody Songs -SUPER BEST II-" albums. Three separate versions of the "SUPER BEST II" albums were released (one each for the Sakamaki, ( Read more... )

Sorry for the wait! Here's the latest UtaPri Revolutions song, "GOLDEN☆STAR"--the insert song from episode 2~ The song was released on the bonus CD from the first volume of the anime DVD/Blu-ray. I don't really have a heck of a lot to say about the song so I'll be skipping the usual notes section, which means you get off easy. Its sung by EVERYONE ( Read more... )

After much delay and unnecessary stress and angst, here's the second set of albums from the Tsukiuta series. This took me a lot longer to translate than I initially anticipated, and that's because I forgot all about the kobun. Essentially, these January songs are written in old/"classical" Japanese orthography, which I never learned in my four ( Read more... )

Who's up for more vampires! Here are the two themes for the Diabolik Lovers DARK FATE game~ And with these out of the way, I'm finally caught up on DiaLovers songs!

(Guilty×Guilty!!!- The DARK FATE OP theme, featuring the usual three Sakamaki siblings (Ayato, Shuu, Subaru). It's got a driving beat and a pretty intense dynamic, but all in all, it' ( Read more... )

Surprise! I've been getting a lot of messages from readers asking for the Diabolik Lovers character songs I still hadn't gotten around to, so I decided to at least get Shuu's up before I go back to UtaPri. Especially since people have been waiting for this one since March!

(KISS♥MARK- In which Shuu gives you a hickey. No lie. Seriously though, ( Read more... )

Here's part 2 of vol.3 of the new UtaPri Idol Song series. I covered the Cross Unit song and Ren's solo song in part one, so here's Syou's and Cecil's solos.

(Subete o Uta ni!- Syou's image song. Like many of his previous songs, this one is upbeat, hyper-active, and involves a lot of shouting~ Sadly, it grates on my eardrums a little ( Read more... )

At the last minute, I decided to break this album into two posts, since four songs is more code than I want to deal with at once. The third album of the new UtaPri Idol Songs features the second STARISH Cross Unit of Ren, Syou, and Cecil. This first post will cover the Unit song and Ren's solo, and Syou & Cecil's solos will be in the second post ( Read more... )

Hisashiburi da yo ne~ I apologize for my prolonged absence since I haven't posted in over a month now, but between mounds of home/classwork and finals coming up in about 4 weeks, I haven't been able to do much else. And I just spent my spring break sightseeing in London, so I wasn't on my computer much at all for the last week. So that's why I ( Read more... )

Yup, that's right folks. I gave up! I've been looking for those spoken bits of dialogue Rejet likes to throw into these Diabolik Lovers songs without including them in the official lyrics booklet, and I've still had absolutely no luck finding the dang things even after over a month of searching. So, I'm tired of waiting to translate these two songs ( Read more... )
