hyura

My frozen heart is melting.

I want to say that I received my purchased today.  It came in extremely great condition.  ♥

I used to love Phantasmagoria very very much when they were around but every time 'Nil Frontier' started I wanted to die.
And I hate 'Merry Christmas, I love you' by Kuroyume with a passion.

This probably will me my last big haul before this upcoming holiday season.  Mostly stuff that no one cares, but I like my old groups.
 

Octopus Cult - 神風ブルース (Autographed)
The Splatters - 脳内出血
test-No. - test-No. 002 (Autographed)
test-No. - test-No. 000
 
Here's a slightly closer look at the autographed CDs.

 

Some Aura mooks.
 

Some Kamaitachi pictures.  Kazzy has some busted looking teeth in his picture.

メディーナ
Mediena
An amazing band with such a short career. Huge thanks to @- Hitori -for picking up the last pieces to complete this collection. I wanted to include the flyers, bonus cds, and other photos but id figure you guys get the idea lol <3
 
 

crying T__T

presents for my friend.
 
 
 
 

Yes, this is very early SAKRUN. According to the description it's their initial line-up.
I think the uploader of the video is actually their first bassist SHINGO.
https://twitter.com/no_shingo
 
Well, the video title says ディパーチャ so I'd say it's the songtitle?
They had a demotape in the early days called 媚薬. I don't know the tracklist but maybe that song is on it as well.
 

 

I have another unpopular opinion. Expect rant.
 
Mainstream music marketed towards pubescent girls isn't any worse than other music you don't like.
 
There is a whole culture (especially on the internet, but also in other media and in real life) devoted to and putting lots of time and appearently research into hating on anything made for female teenagers and it highly irritates me.
I mean solo artists like Justin Bieber or boygroups like One Direction and even certain visual kei bands. Movies like twilight and many Boys love manga belong into the same category and also get the same treatment!
Things that work because 13 year old girl's romantic and/or sexual fantasies about 'pretty boys', essentially.

There is no other demographic which is nearly as bashed as them. Not even a tiny bit.
 
As I'm no 13 year old girl I find no appeal in those things either but I don't have the need to judge it's fans at all. Because of my different enviroment I never get in touch with their music taste, except for people bitching about it. I don't get this: if you don't like it, don't spend time on it. Like you do with every other genre that isn't made for you but doesn't threaten you either.
 
I'm also not interested in things marketed towards 60+ ladys or 4 year old boys and still don't think I should spend my day with hating on it and the people who enjoy it. It's also not a common thing to do. So why do it with teenage girls?
 
Teenage girls freak out and scream and throw their underwear (?) during some boyband concert where it doesn't bother anyone because only other teenage girls are present?  -People declare the girls hysteric and out of their mind and the band horrible.
Grown men freak out and scream and throw beerbottles after some sports event in public where outsiders will be bothered?-
People are like 'boys will be boys' and still take the sport very serious.
 
I'd even go as far as to say that when some artist has many young girls as fans it kind of devalues his work to many. This is sad!
Young girls aren't all stupid. Actually many are already more mature and educated then their male counterparts.
 
Maybe it's because of our cultures sick obsession with young girls sexuality and that it's frightening for us to see them directing it at something we don't like...?
 
Either way. I just don't get this.

Acacia 
 
Thank you!

The two tracks by Romance for～ on the THE END OF THE CENTURY ROCKERS Ⅲ sampler fit together so well that I decided to translate both of them. : ) Maybe somebody enjoys those.

*In the sung version the verb used is 呟いて (tsubuyaite) meaning 'to utter', which makes this the direct speech I've translated it to.
However, in the written lyrics the word 咲いて (saite) meaning "to bloom" is used which alters the meaning to "blooming with the acacia(trees)"
The meaning of white acacia flowers in hanakotoba is longing or yearning (among other things)

*The word 人(person) in the written lyrics is pronounced 'hito'. The vocal appears to sing it as 'so', though. There is the archaic expression 夫 (that person) that is pronounced 'so' and that might be why. However, I'm not 100% sure about what he's singing right there, so it might just be a very shitty pronounciation of 'hito' or something completely different even. D :

Shouldn't it be 'foot of croc' tho?

Deleted most of my “selfies” in this thread, because my face is trash. But well, here is something decent
 
 

I'm just posting my most recent item that I bought 2 or 3 months ago. I got it off Yahoo Auctions. The Sleep My Dear poster comes with 3 CDS (Move, Mirage, and Shape), stickers and a signed autograph. I'm so lucky to have found this!
 

 

 

 

 

I was in a Madeth Gray'll mood last night (it happens often enough) and it was fun listening to them in this story's order and following along with the lyrics.
 
Thanks for all these hyura! Awesome work.

: DD I'm very glad you enjoyed reading them.
The thread does seem abandoned but I recently started correcting mistakes in the older translations and have some new ones sitting on my pc that will be added once I'm done with that. ; > So yes, will definitely continue.

Hello~
Some time ago I translated all of Madeth gray'lls lyrics to German and reading through those translations again I thought that their stories are so cool I should do it once more, this time in English, and share them with everyone who might be interested. orz
This time I also want to include all the small poems and stories printed on booklets and CDs that aren't directly related to a song and arrange everything in a way to make the tragedy a little more coherent because all the songs are loosely connected.
 
I'll post every song individually and add a list with the links here to keep things tidy. ;D
The structure is a somewhat chronical order, but if there are multiple versions I'll mostly choose the newer ones, because Hisuis writing improved quite a lot over time. There will propably be 6 acts, even though I know a classical drama should only have 5...

I'd very much appreciate any help finding mistakes. D; Neither English nor Japanese is my native language and the lyrics are so bizarre it's not always easy. Please note that in some songs the imagery and scenes described are very graphic.
 
Hisui mentioned in Interviews that he started to write grotesque and apocalyptic lyrics after surviving the great Kobe earthquake that killed 6434 people in his hometown, including his girlfriend.
