The backdrop of MOON SAGA - Yoshitsune Hiden (Translation)

Since amaia has already provided her excellent translations, I'm just posting mine in my own LJ. :3
There are only minor differences between hers and mine, so please consider mine more or less complementary to hers.

時代　（世界観）

古より、物ノ怪と人間は共存して来た。
人間にはない『異能力』を持つ物ノ怪を、人は崇め、時に恐れながら、長い間、『神』と人とのような関係を保ってきた。
だが、この物ノ怪達と交わり、

Thank you!!:D

Oh, I was just about to point out the 者の不／武士 thing but it seems like you picked up on it ^^;;

I also edited my translation slightly after reading this. Mainly the "弁慶によって" bit. I'm supposed to be learning how that grammar pattern works for the JLPT too, so argh ><;;

Oh, yeah, I published it and then "What, where did Mononofu go in my translations??? *headdesk*". X'D

Good luck with JLPT!

Oh wow, this is...fascinating! :O I'm happy that he's finally covering this chapter of the MOON story (Chapter 1 of MOON that he outlined back in the DIABOLOS days). So it sounds to me like the DARTS were just one clan of these mononofu. And Yoshitsune is one of these mononofu, right? It's really interesting how he is now using historical figures in MOON rather than fictional characters, and I think it makes it more complicated because now I need to research these real life people to get a more complete understanding of the story. ^^; Or maybe not, I dunno. XD Anyway, I wish I could see this play in person. T___T And there's so much to look forward to, including album, Visualive, and other spinoffs, can't wait! :D

Oh I have a question about the play. ^^ YFCz is composing the music is that right? If so, what does that mean, as in who writes the lyrics and who writes the music? Sorry again for my lack of YFC knowledge. ^^;;;

"So it sounds to me like the DARTS were just one clan of these mononofu"

Yeah, I was wondering about that, too! *w*
And yep, Yoshitsune's supposed to be one of them.
I've watched enough NHK Taiga to have general knowledge of Yoshitsune, which is good! X'D

I certainly hope he'll make his own solo album out of this, but since YFCz's in charge of music, who knows... =/

Regarding YFCz, G hasn't said anything concrete, but I 'think' Chacha's composing some music, too. b*A*d
