Song titles that don’t make half sense
I’m sure you have encountered plenty of song titles that sound cool at first but don’t seem to make much sense when you think about them. I’m not talking about Engrish titles (e.g. “Can you feel crying alone?” by tiaraway) … Continue reading
Aya Hirano can’t sing
That’s the truth and you know it. Well she certainly sings better than me, but so does most of the entire population of this planet! I will be lying if I say that I don’t like “God knows…”, but I … Continue reading

Neowing has caught up with my trickery
My perfect strategy for saving up on CD/DVD shipping has been flushed down the infinite void of a JR train station toilet by the insidious conspiracy known as Neowing (better known as CDJapan).

Lost my music

God knows…
I finally translated “God knows…“, the insert song of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu. I feel that the lyrics really suit Haruhi and I am not sure if the feel is still there after my translation. Well, hope you like it. … Continue reading

Da Capo II: ã¾ã¶ã—ãã¦ã¿ãˆãªã„
I was bored, so I transcribed Nanaka’s D.C. II image song by ear… You can get a low-quality encode here. A few parts were quite iffy, especially “æ„›ã™ã¹ãã¨æ€ã†æ™‚ã‚’”.

For the three you out there who wondered what I have been doing for the past few days: No, I did not die from the joy of rewatching D.C. II promo video over and over again. Instead, I’ve been putting … Continue reading
