ICONIC 

nussing. I think it flows better, even though it's painfully incorrect, lol

Not native but nothing for me, lol. 

Bruh I didn't even know he said "nothing". All this time I've been saying "missing my darling" 

That song is one of my replay tracks, literally.
Someone on LiveJournal made a lot of rumours about where is he now, but nothing is certain at the moment... https://da-family.livejournal.com/554364.html

That's from 2011 so we haven't heard of him in a long time. The rumour of sex change was at the back of my mind now that I read those comments. He's like another Klaha by now.

Yeah! I miss both of them...

It's very hard to deal with relative clauses like this in a natural way in something like lyrics because as I'm sure you know English has a much lower tolerance for them and "which" "that" "who" type words. 
Let's first assume the missing predicate here is です and thus the meaning is 一人きり泣いてた私へのシンフォニアです。 and not anything more complex.

There's a couple of strategies you can consider in this case:
1) Changing the form. Adjectives would work much better in English.
"A symphonia for my lonesome weeping self" or some such

2) Flouting conventional sentence structure. For something like lyrics you can get away with dodging these kinds of dilemmas with punctuation...
"A symphonia for me, weeping all alone" or some such
This adds ambiguity but that's not necessarily a bad thing in lyric translations imo

But, since the predicate is missing, you could assume there's a more complex predicate based on your interpretation of the song. Here's one I  just pulled out of my ass without reading the rest of the lyrics.
一人きり泣いてた私へのシンフォニアが流れてきた。
"I was weeping by my lonesome when a symphonia for me started to play (alt: symphonia started to play for me)" or some such
Yes, the translation "breaks" the original sentence structure which tends to scare some translators, but if it doesn't destroy the elements with meaning I don't really think it's a problem; 1:1 translation is near impossible with poetic Japanese. Leaning towards liberal translation in lyrics/poems can often produce a better final product in the target language.

Hopefully this at least helps you consider your options.

"Sinfornia for me who was crying all alone !"
Somehow you think as " a music for a crying person " , and the person is " me ".

Thanks for the replies.

My interpretation is: with my faint voice and frozen hands; I desire to reach for the skies.

i think it can also be interpreted as "with these frozen hands on my husky/faint voice", just my opinion. haven't listened to these guys in a while btw. i remember liking this song.

The problem is how かすれた声に is affected by 凍えた or what its relationship with 凍える is because 凍える is an intransitive verb so it doesn't an object. に is supposed to be used when expressing the indirect object but still, with my poor Japanese that doesn't seem to make sense either.

Laputa is the band and the GIF is from the PV for the song “Eve ~last night for you~

Thanks!

According to vkdb, their drummer Takurou was in Vallquar and is now in Magistina Saga.

Guitarist Hiiragi is in Loup d'azur.

Drummer Aki was in Rugia(g)gram and Vallquar as well.

I trid to find any info about Loup d'azur, but I couldn't.

Thanks for the reply.

@inartisticAre you sure about the ふ kana used to be representing the "U" sound? (う)? Because, from what I've read on the Japanese sound shifts, the は row Kana used to be pronounced with an F sound, and the pronunciation of ふ was the only one that stayed the same, wherewas the other Kana in the は row were

 almost completely changed throughout history, and now kind of represents H sounds unless used as a particle. (Basically, the transition for, say the Kana へ would have been Pe > Fe > He/We/E (The We part obviously being obsolete) I'm not trying to correct you, or anything. I'm just wondering where you got your information from, because I'm curious to learn more, actually, since I read a lot about archaic forms of the Japanese language, since a lot of the Vkei vocalists I listen to pronounce things in older ways and use obsolete phonemes. 

@AimiGen7Tbh my knowledge about the subject is only cursory--basically from trying to figure out song titles like seikun was. (I didn't even know about the “shifts” you mentioned! Pretty cool.) Here are a few links that mention it, and hopefully you can find something a bit more concrete.

@inartistic From what I see, the only source above that has any romaji (Romaji is pretty much the only way to represent the sound shifts xD) is the first source, and it assumes that ふ was once pronounced as Hu, which is quite incorrect. For some possibly complicated linguistic reason, all the "h" Kana were once pronounced with an F (as I mentioned earlier) and it just happened that while all the other Kana went through pronunciation shifts, now being stuck inbetween starting with an H sound, a W sound (in the case of は), or just being a plain vowel.

Though I will give credit where credit is due on the thing about the name Kaori once being spelled as and pronounced as Kawori. They're quite right on that.

But yeah, in essence, Japanese has never really had a "hu" sound. 

I guess the best way to describe the Japanese sound shifts is with the Iroha poem. I'll put down the pronunciations and what time period they would be used in:

Old Japanese:

Iro Pa Ni Popeto, 
Chirinuru Wo.

Wa ka yo tare so

Tsune Naramu

Uwi no okuyama

Kepu koyete

Early Middle Japanese:

Iro Fa Ni Fofeto

Chirinuru Wo

Wa ka yo tare so

Tsune Naramu

Uwi no okuyama

Kefu koyete

Late Middle Japanese: 

Iro ha ni hoheto

Chirinuru Wo

Wa ka yo tare so

Tsune Naramu

Uwi No Okuyama

Kefu Koyete

Early modern Japanese: 

Iro wa ni woweto (In theory, it'd be like this, but in practice, the line at one point could probably have been Iro wa ni hoheto. The changes are gradual, so this is theoretically how it would have been, but not practically)

Chirinuru wo

Wa ka yo tare so

Tsune Naran

Uwi No Okuyama

Kyo Koyete (Some time during the middle Japanese period, some words with the ふ kana were being pronounced with a yo sound, sort of. IDK really how to explain it though)

Alternatively, Early Modern Japanese could have been also pronounced as:

Iro wa ni oeto

Chirinuri wo 

Wa ka yo tare so

Tsune Naran

Ui No Okuyama

Kyo Koyete

And here is the modern pronunciation:

Iro Wa Ni Oedo

Chirinuru O

Wa Ga Yo Dare Zo

Tsune Naran

Ui No Okuyama

Kyo Koete

I think it might be "下", but who knows

元へ, I think

looks like hakuei

Yeah, it's Hakuei. I could finally find the PV.

Thanks.

 

I have a tape-rip, In my parents house.

 

I never listened them until last year, so I know your feel.

 

I'll upload it

If you can upload that would be aswesome. Thanks!

Hi, it was a lot of time, but here is 

 

If he's not reacting to Maria Cross' porn video, then I don't care.

oh yea, I've been following Ryan too for a while now! one ok rock blew him away

what do you mean?

The owner of that YT channel used to be a user in this forum and a friend on soulseek .

Definitely...I saw some folks were not that thrilled with BABEL even as long time fans, but I think it has all the feeling of the old still. I don't think Mr. Sakurai is able to perform without charged emotion lol, even some of their 'grittiest' songs still carry that same sense for me too. Can enjoy other new bands sure at an extent, but B-T are on the tier above and won't be forgotten in time.

For a moment, I thought it was A9's bassist

The part around 44 seconds is them asking normies if they recognize any of the names on the left, which are:

 

-Shazna

-Malice Mizer

-La'cryma Christi

-Fanatic Crisis

 

Lady with glasses:

 

"What language is this? ...Ca...careermen? Italian cooking...?"

 

Next dude:

 

"Is that the name of a cake?"

 

Yoko Ono:

"Is it a brand?"

 

Lady with curly hair:

"A cosmetic?"

 

Obaa-san:

 

"Whaaa.....a singer?" (then she says stuff way too fast for me to understand and there's no subtitles)

 

Awkward Gender Ambiguous Person:

 

"They're visual-kei band names."

I could get some of that but I wish people would give them subtitles.

 

Thanks.

I hope it gets back completely

Oh I see.

Hope everything goes well. That site is one of my last connections with old school Visual Kei.

 

Since I learned Japanese in Japan it's difficult for me to explain it lol, so I'll just go ahead and copy-paste from a website (the de in your example is different from the example @Peace Heavy mk II gave)

 

 

1. Assuming that you are invited to a party tomorrow. You are not sure what is the required attire. You can ask the host the following...

明日のパーティーはジーンズ で いいですか。
ashita no pa-ti- wa ji-nzu de ii desu ka

Meaning: Is wearing of jeans alright for the party tomorrow?

 

2. Your colleague lost his wallet on the way to the office. When he meet you at the office he asks you for help to lend him some money. You are not sure how much you should lend him and ask him...

50ドル で いいですか。
50 doru de ii desu ka?

Meaning: Is 50 dollars alright for you?

 

So, in your case "yasai de ii", just means vegetables are fine. Or that you're okay with eating veggies. It's very similar to yasai ga ii. Although the nuance is slightly different. 

 

the above comment is correct, but just to expand, i think you can consider this "de" as part of the particle's functions as a limiter.

for example, you may have seen things like

一日で終わる (finish in a day[, and no more])
CD二枚で2000円 (2 CDs will be 2000 yen[, and no more])
３０分で行けます ([you] can get [there] in 30 minutes[, and no more])

similarly, assuming it's a statement and not a question, 野菜でいい is "[i'm] good with vegetables[, and no more]". if it is a question, "are [you] good with vegetables[, and no more]"?

the nuance of ~でいい contrasts with another common expression, ~でもいい ever so slightly.
野菜でいい means you truly are ok with vegetables and nothing more.
野菜でもいい means you're ok with settling for vegetables, but there's an implication that you'd actually rather have something else. if you wanted coke but they only had pepsi, you'd likely get asked ペプシでもいいですか。and not ペプシでいいですか。

Thanks for all the comments.

 

I understand the idea in the でいい construction, but I have always wondered what this で means given that most online courses leave out essential information. If I can't understand a word I can't make progress, instead I'm just repeating words and phrases like a robot.

 

I thought this で was the one that indicates a state as in 詩人で先生です (Being a poet I am a teacher.) which makes sense to me. I mean the uses of で explained above in this expression could belong to this category of particle で (indicates a state).

That scene is if I remember right from Chanton L'amour live VHS, in bonus content before the actual LILLIE CHARLOTTE movie and live start. I have it but not uploaded yet.  I might be wrong, it's a long time since I've seen it.

I have the concert, but it is in the baement and there are too many things there. I've been desiring to watch that scene again for very long. It's so beautifully artistic. If you can uplaod that would be awesome!

 

And hope someone can translate into English too.

Kinda rough but cool they did it.

I thought that link would be Sechkies' "cover," but it was a pleasant surprise.
