I've recently really gotten into Acid Black Cherry after watching their PV for Spell Magic (as well as the PV for Black Cherry <3). I tracked down the lyrics on a Japanese lyrics site, transcribed them, compared them to a scan of the lyrics sheet, and THEN confirmed my transcription with my Japanese buddy. Then I romanized them. I might translate this song at a later date... for now, just be content in knowing it's about sex.

Oh, yea, if you want to download this PV, I have it up on my PV upload page.

How can someone who doesn't speak this language natively write such moving lyrics? This song is beautifulz. T__T

Right then, here's the Japanese lyrics, romaji, and translation for LM.C's song Haunted House　Make a Secret. This was the b-side of their Oh My Juliet single. My comments follow after the translation.

Any comments and corrections would be greatly appreciated!!!

Does anyone else feel moved by this song?

So ESP Guitars has managed to snag all the (guitar-playing) members of Gazette. Aoi, Uruha, and Reita all have their own pages, too. You can see the specs on their guitars and also the (painfully high) prices, should you desire their guitars for yourself. XD

Aoi's guitar is gorgeous. Just, you know, random comment there. And I love the "God of Rock" image on Uruha's too. XD!

I found the kanji lyrics for Hyena FINALLY after a bitchload of searching online. Someone romanized it on Batsu but they made a ton of mistakes, so I did my own romanizing for anyone who's interested. ^^; It's hard to follow along with his screaming to make sure I did it right, but it should be fairly accurate. Lemme know if anyone sees any mistakes? I'll do the other songs as well if anyone wants them.

I have no clue what this song is about. :D!

So, possibly because I was feeling a bit masochistic, I spent a few hours last night typing up the Japanese for Gazette's "Filth in the Beauty" single. Now, mind you, this is only the Japanese lyrics for all three songs. I did romanize "Filth in the Beauty" (as that took, what, like five minutes, seeing as most of the song is in English). "Rich Excretement" seems to be a crazy mash of kanji in long, long strings... I don't even want to try it. Crucify Sorrow might not be as bad, but to be perfectly honest, I don't feel like doing it. 8D! So here ya go, for whoever's interested.

( Filth in the beauty romaji )


For those of you who can't pick it up from the English, Filth in the Beauty seems to be about an incestual relationship between a father and his daughter. I would assume that this is a non-consentual relationship, as part of the Japanese says something like "without asking, I seek your crimson lotus" (a nice euphanism for saying he wants her virginity). Also, at the end, it seems the daughter has killed her father.
(Is this not a total rip off the concept of Embryo? At least she's not pregnant, I hope.)
(I'm not sure if I like this song now as much as I did o.o; The song's concept = ew for me now.)

Maybe now that this is out, the people over at romaji will romanize it? :D?

This song is so much love right now that I went ahead and typed up the lyrics for it (surprisingly easy, actually, as any kanji I didn't recognize on the lyrics sheet, I was able to figure out from the pronunciation of it in the song o.o; Damn. Either my listening is getting damn good or Maya just pronounces shit really well). I also romanized it, but I'm sure there's tons of mistakes and some of the spacing is probably wrong, too. But that's okay. I might translate it too, as this is a damn easy song to understand (and somewhat sad T___T). For those of you whom this does any good for, enjoy!

Oh, and if you've never heard the song, snag it!
