Translation request and my failure as a reader of literature

[winterspel]

I know, I am being totally lazy...because I have a translation request for my flist. I've been obsessively listening to Tsukiyo no monogatari (Kinki Kids) and as I first fell in love with the tiny bit that is part of the "Japanesque Medley" KAT-TUN performance, I'm now dying to know what the song is actually about (a complete translation is not

Tsukiyo no Monogatari is actually already on my "next song to romanise and attempt to translate" list, but I'm a bit swamped with stuff at the moment, so if no one gets back to you earlier about it, I'll link you when I'm done ^_^;;

[winterspel]

Bless you, dear. Grazie mille. :)

[mienai1582]

Grazie mille

I assume that means "Thank you"? ^_^;; You're very welcome dear.

And I see you've received another version of the translation before I could finish mine, lol ^_^;;

[winterspel]

Yes, "grazie mille" is "thank you very much" in Italian, my boyfriend's language which I am struggling to learn. :)

And I can never have too many translations! I added yours into this post, and it's awesome to have the romaji. *hugs* You spoil me!

The title of the song means Moonlight Story and the lyrics are something like

[winterspel]

Wow...just, wow.

No way, that is SO NOT disappointing - it's unbelievably gorgeous and breathless and wonderful, and it totally lives up to my expectation of the song. THANK YOU SO MUCH! *loves you*

The reason that "Hoshikuzu no sparkle" makes me cringe is because it's just a little too cheesy, even for me, the biggest sap in the world.

[anthropopathy]

You're welcome. I can't promise the lyrics are entirely accurate, but well, you get the idea. And I agree, they're quite breathtaking and well, kind of sexy.

Oh, yes. Yes, yes. *swooning*

I have the Complete Works of Oscar Wilde. Thanks for reminding me of that story - it's wonderful but very, very scary and sad. The ending made me meep and shudder!

Goes off to hunt for Oscar Wilde short stories

PS: There are many, many books out there that we will never read - but that's part of the fun. Besides, there are a great many bad books that you will never have to suffer through as well!

*sigh* I know...I just wish that I could download directly to my brain or somehow escape into a virtual reality system (where time expands to accomodate my reading list) or that I had a Time Turner...or something. I feel like I'm wasting my time when I'm not reading more all the time. It's totally stupid to feel that way, I know.

I just love Wilde's language! It's exquisite language and powerful ideas.

[bunengshuode]

Yes! *spreads the Oscar Wilde love* He is just an amazingly genius writer. <3

[winterspel]

:P You're such a good influence. :) If only I wasn't so freaking busy today!

[bunengshuode]

*hugs* Awww! Don't get stressed out or anything!

[winterspel]

:D No, not stressed. Just want to play. Playing is more fun at the moment than looking for oil and gas tax law books. ;)

I am really, really enjoying Dorian Gray so far! I've never seen the film version. Perhaps in this case, imagination is really the only way to "see" this novel.
