終焉を謳うアリエッタ (Shuuen wo Utau Arietta) - CD presentation page

So this is a "new" lostfairy CD, but most of the songs are "old" and slightly rewritten. I checked the booklet and there are only minimal differences between their originals and the new version. Thus I will only translate the one song with significant differences and point the differences out here and in the old posts. Haven't heard the crossfade? See below! On the cover you see Melusine (purple haired girl in the black dress), Colette (brown haired girl in blue x white with a headbow) and Alisha (girl with pink hair)


So the tracklist is as follows:

1. ニゲルの肖像
2. Re Storia ~花の戯れ~
3. 背徳のアンティフォナ
4. Black Lolita

1. Nigel r no shouzou, Jet Black Portrait. I uh, might not want to change the title knowing internet culture of nowadays... But I now know that it meant Jet Black. Comes from Melusine's Boukyaku CD.  Differences are minimal, no more katakana to curse the text. Amended the post.

2. Re Storia -Hana no Tawamure- is a remix of Colette's Operetta CD's Tawamure no Hanabatake, these lyrics are very different and thus will have another post!

3. Haitoku no Antiphona the third, in all senses, third song of the album, third appearance in all the -LostFairy- discography. As far as I know, all versions same lyrics (Transylvania, Nostalgia Prelude and this CD), even the has the same singers as the 2nd version, so I will not amend any post.

4. Black Lolita from Alisha's CD. Has a small difference in the nigel no kyouen, but afaik that's the
only difference. I'll have a look later. But this is a very minor change and won't get a new post I think.

The order in which I like the songs is 1=2=3=4, haha what an unexpected order eh, I like all songs a lot and they are all lovely in their own way. I love almost all -LostFairy- songs, I am a "doorgewinterde veteraan" as they call it in Dutch haha, I have listened to -LostFairy- that much, I think I rolled into this hole like 5+ years ago? Has been so long that I came to appreciate all songs. I almost never skip a song when it's on random play!

Ah before you stop reading: There are some new conversations between the girls on the cover on each booklet page, nothing very major, but find the translation below!.

Nigelr no shouzou page:
Contains a picture of Melusine saying:
歪んだ愛情は・・・ 心に深い闇を生み・・・ 私を蝕んでゆく――
"This distorted affection... brings a deep darkness inside my heart...
It gnaws my body..."

Hana no Tawamure page:
Contains a picture of Colette saying:
???

Antiphone page:
Contains a picture of Carmilla saying:
ひとつの終焉と ひとつの運命; the demise of one and the fate of the other

Black Lolita page:
とある場所で開かれた、特別な装いでのお茶会
黒いフリルを身に纏った少女たちにとっての「黒」とは?

A tea party with a special attire is held at a certain place,
What does "black" mean to the girls wearing black frills?

Melusine: Darkness
Priscilla: Death
Alisha: The opposite of white!
