It has been a while, everyone! I got a job as an assistant teaching introductory Japanese at the University of my province, which has been a challenge, but a lot of fun.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Jun Togawa and Yokoe Kurahashi of late—Yokoe is a new discovery for me, and I adore her music. I thought I’d give a crack at translating one of her songs from iroiro (2007). I’m sure I’ll be back with more soon. For now, please enjoy!

Dig In (いただきます) by Yoeko Kurahashi

あなたを食べてもいいですか


Is it alright if I eat you?


無人のニュースは四時を告げ

You’ll become my blood, become my flesh

シチューの匂いは五時の歌

The wafting smell of a five-o-clock stew is the call of the evening


カラスが夕焼け連れてく

Continuing along with posting translations, here is Lilith’s song, which is my favourite of the bunch! They’re all fantastic, but I adore cooking, which as you soon will see, is the theme of this song. You can view all of the songs from the Asteria event here.

Sweet Sweet Heart by Chie Sawaguchi

Good morning are the words I send to you, still in a dream

Opening the curtain, the sun rushes in, a new morning has begun!

With the feelings passed down through in this frying pan, I’ll make a delicious, exciting meal, that tastes just like mama’s!

Shall I make this?

Fluffy, fluffy eggs

Octopus wieners

Cramming together all my favourite things

Of course, all homemade!

Secretly being together with my bashful honey like this, my sweet sweet heart!

Hello!! Tales Of isn’t really known for character songs, but strangely enough, the cast of Tales Of Destiny does in fact have character songs. They aren’t from the original game, but rather from an event from Tales Of Asteria, and aren’t very well known. They’re rather short songs that were used as background music for fights, and they’re very fun. As there aren’t any English translations of them, I’ve translated them, and will be posting them here today, starting with Johnny. You can listen to all of the songs and read the accompanying translations here.

Connecting the World by Koichi Yamadera (Johnny/Karyl)

Woah, woah, woah, woah…

Woah, woah, woah, woah…

I’m Johnny, with my guitar in hand, I’ll introduce everyone!

First is Stahn, with hair fluttering in the wind!

Holding his sword high, if he swings down

He’ll turn darkness to light, true strength.

He’ll teach you the meaning of bravery!

Black-haired, lovely Rutee,

Unyielding, courageous, Rutee

Ever-vigilant Rutee,

Always money-hungry Rutee!

Hey, I can hear you, singing that soothing lullaby!

“I hate audaciously laid-back, over-familiar brats like you!”

Leon Magnus!

That cold-looking face is a veil to cover the depth of his passionate love!

Long time no see! Here’s a translation from Sakurano Mimito’s solo from Denonbu produced by Snail’s House, entitled Princess Memeism.

Princess Memeism

こっち向いて　逸らさないで

Come my way! Don’t turn away!

私だけ　見ていて

I want you to look at me!

誰より　かわいい

私だけ　愛して

Cuter than anyone else,

I want you to love me alone!

かわいいも大好きも　全部が私のものよ

Praise and your love, they all belong to me!

I won’t hand ‘em over to anyone else!

女の子だもん　かわいい私を　見て

I want to be called cute, isn’t it natural?

I am a girl, after all! Look upon the cute me!

強がる日々　誰にも見せられない

弱い自分が一番嫌いで

I put on a brave front, day by day, never letting my feelings show

I hate my weak self the most of all

まだまだまだ足りない　わかってる

あの子に届かない　バカみたい

And yet, I’m never enough, it’s strange

I won’t lose to her, either, though it’s foolish

また意識しちゃってさ

私は私だから　誰かと比べたりなんかしないでよ

I’m myself, incomparable to anyone else!

I am a girl, after all! Look upon the cute me!

誰よりも煌めく　世界が釘付けになる

プレイを魅せるの

Shining more than anyone else, I’ll captivate the whole world!

I’ll put on an enchanting play!

“Kawaii”を奏でる　世界が私で染まる

フロアを沸かすの

I’ll dye the world in my cuteness,

From this glittering stage!

こっち向いて　逸らさないで

私だけ　見ていて

Come my way! Don’t turn away!

I want you to look at me alone!

私だけ　愛して

Cuter than anyone else,

I want you to love me alone!

Performer Praline's Grand Ship, God Arrange

Hello! This is extremely far past the original release of Bravely Second, but the only translation I could find was stated to be done with Google Translate and is riddled with errors, so I thought I'd quickly translate the lyrics of Praline's song in Bravely Second, which is her drinking song.

If you fall in love, you’re going to lose, big brother!

Today’s panties are strawberry patterned!

Here I go!

If you decide to drink,

Tonight’ll be a party!

Let’s make a racket!

Lying on the floor, yelling “you idiot!”

I’ll be takin’ all of your alcohol, puddin’!

If you fall in love, you’ve already lost, big brother!

Hurry up and take my hand!!

One, two, show me your best call!

Let’s go crazy together!! Ei!!!

As a sidenote, call refers to an idol’s call and response during live concerts, where the idol calls out a prompt and the audience responds.

Hello, everyone! This is a bit delayed as I’ve been quite busy with schoolwork, but I translated Aoi Mukou’s ending theme from Totono: A Love Story. I’ve seen this song’s title translated as Galactic Merry-Go-Round within the game itself, but I’d entitle it Merry-Go-Round of the Stars. I may upload a hardsubbed version onto YouTube at a later point or contribute to another upload of the song, but for now, here are the lyrics! I hope you enjoy. Even if you haven’t played the game, I recommend listening to the song here.

Merry-Go-Round of the Stars/Galatic Merry-Go-Round/星のメリーゴーランド

空は晴れて　まぶしいくらい　このセカイの真ん中で

The sky is spectacularly clear

In the centre of this world

気まぐれなネコ見てる

Looking at a fickle kitty

ハッピーエンドはおあずけね　サヨナラセカイ 　また会いましょ

Our Happy End is on hold

Farewell to this world

Let’s meet again somewhere else

たったひとりの恋人

To my one and only lover

待ってるよキミこと　かならず迎えに来て

呼んでるよ　カミサマの声がきこえる

I’ll be waiting for you

You’ll surely come to see me

Calling out

I can hear the voice of God

忘れられない思い出は　連れて行くね　どこまでも

離れたくない　だけど

Unforgettable memories will lead me to you, no matter where you are

Though I don't want to be separated

いつでもつながってる　かならず会えるから

巡る星たちみたい　回るメリーゴーランド

We’ll always be connected

I know we’ll meet again, as I continue

Spinning around like the stars on this

Circling Merry-Go-Round

キミに届け　デンパ飛ばすの

たぐりよせて　願いこめて

Sending to you

My electro-magnetic waves

Reeling you in

いつでもつながってる　かならず会えるから

巡る星たちみたい　回るメリーゴーランド

We’ll always be connected

I know we’ll meet again, as I continue

Spinning around like the stars on this

Circling Merry-Go-Round

メリーゴーランド

Merry-Go-Round

メリーゴーランド

Merry-Go-Round

My Angel (HoneyWorks)

Hello, everyone! This is my first song translation of My Angel (私の天使) by HoneyWorks, and while it’s rough I hope everyone can enjoy it! Hopefully it can tide you over until a more official translation releases later on Youtube. You can expect more translations from me at a later date of HoneyWorks and various other J-POP groups. Feel free to send any song translation requests my way (Japanese to English exclusively), as I need some practice! Thanks so much, I hope you enjoy.

My little sister, I love you

My little angel, very very cute

My little sister, I love you

Do you know what I mean?

Listen, listen, I’m your big sis!

Let’s play, let’s play, you can’t even speak yet, can you?

I didn’t think you’d want hand-me-downs, but instead you gratefully put them on

I have to play the part of perfection, the ideal sister

My weaknesses are things you can’t see, that’s why they’re weaknesses

When there’s equal opportunity, I won’t lose!

With your dreams on the right, and my dreams on the left

Swinging side by side, we’re the type that won’t give up even if we lose our way

When you want to cry, cry as much as you’d like

When you want to smile, smile as much as you’d like

When you’re tired, let’s rest

When you’re troubled, let’s consult together, because

You’re my angel

My little sister, I love you

My little angel, very very cute

My little sister, I love you

Do you know what I mean?

Turning around, glancing at you, I don’t know what to say

Am I worrying too much? I’m sure there’s things you can’t talk about, too

I’m bad at being myself, forgetting something is absolutely a no-go

I have to play the part of perfection, the ideal sister

I spare no effort, triumphantly raising my level

God is certainly watching… let’s give him a show!

Not your made-up smile, I like the real you

When anxieties pile up, let’s eat sweets

When you’re frustrated, we’ll sleep it off

On rainy days, let’s rest instead

If you get wet, I’ll dry you off

The reason? You’re my angel

Since I’ve first seen you make that expression, you’ve been adorable

Looking proud, you carry yourself with confidence

Look at her, world!

SENA (spoken): She’s always followed closely behind me, and before I knew it, she began to walk towards her own dreams, too. Um… everyone, please support her too!

My little angel, I love you! One, two, I love you!

My little angel, I love you! One, two, I love you!

You shouldn’t be bothered by things such as rumours

When there’s equal opportunity, I won’t lose!

The dreams you’ve described, the dreams I’ve described

I promise you I’ll grant them, okay! Cross my fingers!

With your dreams on the right, and my dreams on the left

Swinging side by side, we’ll be connected wherever we go

When you want to cry, cry as much as you’d like

When you want to smile, smile as much as you’d like

When you’re tired, let’s rest

When you’re troubled, let’s consult together, because

You’re my angel

My little sister, I love you

My little angel, very very cute

My little sister, I love you

Do you know what I mean?
