^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ happy for him too, euclid is a good label! i'll die 100x over if he joins Guild as their vocalist lolol

This CD is also available on closetchild: http://www.closetchild-cd.jp/product/56563 I haven't tried ordering from there cos I got it from their live but it seems like you have to contact them to add it to your cart though (try the お問い合わせ button). Maybe someone can try and let the rest of us know? Oh and taro didn't leave the band, he "graduated" and changed his stage name to tsukimi lol.

Komorebi already explained the importance of fidelity in translation but i'll just add this: even if you're not "putting it forward as though it was something the artist actually said" a translation by definition finds an equivalent or at least a very good approximation to the original. A translation isn't simply a "review" of the original or whatever happens to be the translator's opinions on it. So it's my belief that every single translator whether you're doing for fun or professionally should have the basic commitment to convey the meaning of the original. As for what you're saying about interpretations: of course it's valid, but ideally a translator would strive to uncouple his/her interpretation of the text from the meaning of the text, so as to allow for readers to make their own interpretation from a translation that's as close to the source text as possible.

haha yeah メリーバッドエンド and ASTARIA both participated in those VAs despite being Nagoya bands. technically Nagoya isn't in the Kansai region (which starts from Shiga and Mie and includes 5 other prefectures to their west), but maybe at that time they didn't think they'd be able to find enough bands in Nagoya to release a VA by themselves.

V.A. 妖幻鏡 -NAGOYA- vol.1 尾張V系音源集 will be released on 2017/07/05. Participating bands: ASTARIA / UNDER FALL JUSTICE / DEVIZE / メリーバッドエンド / Lucifer's underground / 麗麗 / Roub and more…

ASTARIA new album will be released on 2017/09/27. Details to be announced.

Use a program called iTMS Scrubber but it needs to be updated. See:
