[SOLVED] 'live-distributed' (and other CD-related terms) in japanese

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, didn't know where to post this question, so please remove if necessary.

At first I was wondering how do you say 'live-distributed' in japanese, and then I wondered all of the other terms. :oops:

 

I mean, I think we all know the basic terms like 'one-coin' (ワンコイン), 'album' (アルバム), 'single' (シングル)....

 

But is there a "dictionary" where we can understand most of this? 'Cause it would be very helpful to someone that wants to find information that it's not available in english, (like I was trying to w)

 

Hope you can help to make one if there isn't such thing! thanks. ☆

There was a "visual kei dictionary" site, although it seems to be dead now. Luckily you can still access an archived older version of it which still has plenty of content over at

Not completely related, but they also have a nice guide for going to VK lives in japan https://web.archive.org/web/20080613183900/http://www.rushedblue.com/live101.html
