エル・ナ・ディア幻想譚 ～闇の邂逅 (El'Na Dia Gensoutan ~ Yami no Kaikou) - El'Na Dia Fantasia ~ Encounter in the Dark - CD Presentation Page

The door to fantasy, has been opened.

*Melusine's theme plays*

Feeling a nostalgic power, this surely is that person's... ah... there is no doubt. Brought by the one who rules the abyss, a wave of darkness. Cladded in a darkness-coloured dress, drawing magic crests...

To this place, decorated with blue roses made with that forbidden magic, I have been summoned.
People and spirits, an encounter in the darkness. A place so dark, an abyss light doesn't reach,  but that is a place where the spirits of darkness feel at home.

If you listen closely, you can hear the silent darkness play a beautiful melody...

The door of fantasies has been opened...

(from track 1: 闇を伝う旋律 (Yami wo Tsutau Senritsu) - A melody that tells darkness)

Yes, a very nostalgic power. The power of translation. Welcome back. It has been a long long long while since I last posted. This has its reason. I went to Japan for a month. I have been at M3-51, I have actually met Noël and Sayu from -LostFairy- I think haha. I have also shaken hands with Lyse from Ariabl' eyes and Rena I think? Hatsuki Yura was nowhere to be found. I have met Wasabeep, Shirosaki Aya, Tatsh, Tsukagoshi, Katakiri Rekka, Tsukino, Aitsuki Nakuru, Sennzai, Natsume from Mistoria, Komatsu Rina and Paspal from Symholic and many more people I have been fan of. For their privacy I have not taken pictures sadly. 

Back on topic of -LostFairy-, our dear Maousama actually was there in his maou-sama clothes and it looked great. The -LostFairy- stand was very cute, I bought more LostFairy and ArsMagna CDs and the El Na' Dia CD with the poster (It... kind of survived to the Netherlands..?) and when I looked at my CD collection I was like oh yeah, translation lol, so many things to do. 

The title of this CD is El Na Dia Fantasia ~ Encounter of darkness. A CD in which Sariah Noir (Noël related Vtuber.. my theory is that it actually is Noël with a voice changer hahahahah) and Melusine meet...This CD has 1 story track (see above) and 1 vocal track, which is called El'Na Dia. The CD also contained a holographic card of saria-chan. For the sake of I also included my Melusine haha.

If you have not heard the XFD yet... check it out here!

This CD is 10/10 even though it only has 2 tracks lol. I like the intertwining voice lines in El'Na Dia! Please look forward to the translation.. soon tm!

Dimeoz - CD Presentation Page

Finally I am finishing up the initial Xorsizer trilogy, with Dimeoz being the third entry. What happens exactly? I am not too sure... something with a demon blade and something with summoning.. lmao, well not yet in any case. I don't think I have seen half of the kanji and coined words before. 

Edit: I still don't understand the story lol. What I can vaguely grasp is that Xorsizer finds a demon sword in hell and it slowly starts corrupting him and he keeps on slaying. In the end he finally is freeed from the curse.

Have you heard the Xorssfade yet? Check it out below

Also if you like what you hear, consider supporting Paspal on BOOTH

The order in which I like the songs is 6>1>2>5>4>3, they are all quite good, but the NOCTURNE feels a bit too disbalanced for my tastes to listen often. I really like the chant in it though!
Tracklist:

1. 狂咲セシ終宵ノ桜  (Kuruizeshi Yoi no Sakura) - Cherry blossoms going crazy in the night
2. ひとへごころ (Hitoegokoro) - Human heart
3. NOCTURNE
4. 血染め白雪(Revival Mix)- (Chizome Shirayuki) - Bloodstained Snow White
5. 雅(Miyabi) - Elegance
6. Secret Snow
+instrumentals

Secret Snow is a Paspal-rehash of the Symholic 4th album's 雪と月と花びら (Yuki to Tsuki to Hanabira)

Alisia - CD presentation page

It has been an eternity. My translation fingers have been twitching to put this translation out for Christmas while still retaining quality. I think I did a decent job at that. Lately life just has been a bit of a biatch in the sense, so I am happy I could keep my mind of things by making some exciting translations.

My god these lyrics were so so so interesting, lots of coined words, distopia/utopia theme and the liberation of the people who lived in there, I loved it so much. I thought Symholic lyrics were hard, but this CD really was NEXT LEVEL. Ironically the songs became easier throughout the CD. Difficulty spiked at song 3 and then song 4 and 5 were easier. I also think Paspal's voice is very nice to listen to. The soft timbre he has and the high notes he can produce, a very suave and nice voice in my opinion.

Have you heard the XorssFade (haha) yet? No? Please check it out!

Also does Xorsizer have Heterochromia?!? Damn, I always scream that I need a heterochromia goth-waifu, (Kidding of course, I'm straight), but I'd take any heterochromia detail! Heterochromia is very underrated!

Tracklist:

1. Hello,  Brave world!
2. EXTRACTION
3. Command Bullet
4. 崩壊の引数 (Houkai no Hikisuu) - Argument of destruction
5. 瑠璃色のセカイ Another Mix (Ruriiro no Sekai) - Lapis Lazuli coloured World
6. 絶望の四重奏 (Xrossover Mix) - Zetsubou no Quartet
+ instrumentals

So let's move on to the story and the order in which I liked the tracks the most.

The story is pretty straightforward, the world is introduced, a utopia/distopia in which people are living. Xorsizer comes and hacks into the system by extracting information with SQL in the database and corrupts the code. Then he finds out the flaw of the system, that people possess intelligence despite their memory being rewritten every time. This he uses against the system and liberates everyone. Another song in the end, which used to be a Hatsune Miku song, hints to the creation of utopia. It was made out of obsession for a certain someone's "lover".
Song 6 is a remix from Symholic's 5th album, Senketsu ni Sasagu Sandome no Kokkyou, I have not retranslated it, as the lyrics remain (exactly?) the same. I can imagine that in this song the "madness" of Xorsizer and the world is shown. Bloodshed, eternal war, a quartet of despair.

The order in which I liked the tracks the most is actually pretty hard to determine, I liked all the songs a lot and I think this might be my favourite Xorsizer album! They all have an amazing symphonic composition with some cyber breakdowns, very very very cool. Paspal, you are so gifted! Please make more Xorsizer CDs in the future, I'd love to listen and translate them.

2>3=4>6>5>1 might be my final answer. Song 1 still is very nice, but I think it's the least interesting one out of all the others? Darn it's hard to give a good judgement if you like everything!

Well please enjoy the translations and Merry Christmas <3

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!

Ansrail CD presentation page

Oh look, it's tuesday (?) the 13th!  I AM ALIVE VERY MUCH!!!!!!!

I passed my master defence... but still need to go on internship so.. ye... I have SOME time to translate. I will be putting out the Ansrail CD and the LostFairy arietta cd hopefully before you guys may call me Aurora MSc, Master of Scandiu... i mean Science.

So the CD was preceded by an upload "Lalue - Naraku he to ochita Tenshi", with a fully animated PV done by the people who did the Tokyo.Meltimelt pvs. Haven't heard the crossfade yet?!? Check it out here: 

My favourite song is definitely 8, closely followed by 5. I love the despair in both songs, and I love the leitmotif of 5. The climbing melody reminds me of Trails in the Sky's leitmotif, which is one of my favourites. I'm not a big fan of beretta's voice though. She suddenly is popular but I'm not really fan of her, her voice sounds muffled and doesn't sound as unique and clear as Rina's voice. I checked out her solo albums as well, Im just kind of sad that some of those were really good but her vocals were actually bad, muffled and emotionless at best. Sorry for the critique, hope she grows on me, but I am really disappointed by her. Anyway, then the songs follow in order 6>7>1>3>4>2. 6 was a very good song, 7 threw me back a few CDs, very nice nostalgia vibe. 1 was a pretty decent starter, the last -ology song. Then 3, it was kind of tame... and 4 was definitely not something I would listen to normally... the Latin was... interesting so to say. 2 actually wouldn't be a bad song, but Beretta's vocals are so mid I had to put it on the bottom...

The story told in this CD is basically that the only friend Lalue had was a big liar and turned against her because she couldn't obtain her goal. Lalue obtained the end-game weapon and slayed god, things Michelle couldn't do, that is why she wanted vengeance, but in the end she was defeated by a saddened Lalue, who really thought Michelle was her most dear friend... Booklet pages are translated in the Daten song page, as I have done before with the other symholic translations.

Tracklist:

1    Anthology
2    親愛なるあなたへ - Shinainaru anata e - To my dearest you
3    君に手渡した一輪の花 - Kimi ni Tewatashita Ichirin no hana - The Flower I gave you

5    ■■■■■ - ?????

戯曲幻想メルヴェイユ (Gikyokugensou Merveilles) - CD Presentation Page

Merry Christmas, Happy birthday Noël! I hereby present you the presentation page of -LostFairy-'s third Cross Fantasia!

I just finished my Symholic x Xorsizer stuff so I almost wanted to type X-fantasia hahahaha! This CD is a cross-over between the Madrigale CD and a new character named Olivia. The two girls meet in a bar and drink... I remember making a preview post of the -LostFairy- streams long ago and Noël made the remark that Alisha is only 18 and can't drink, but as it is another world it is all fine!! I think back then I also joked about their boobs being huge, Olivia being an F cup but looking much bigger than Alisha with her G cup LOL. I can't believe that announcement came out before Ciel de Miel, it feels like an eternity ago.

I'm not going to re hype as much as I would, neither will I link the crossfade here, as I already made a hype post in October... So let's get to business.

Story ＆ Compose : Noël

This CD is very good with good gothic vibes! I guess I like the songs in order: 12>10>02>06>04>14>08

The Hungarian Dance no 05 reference in Dancing Shadow haha, I sometimes don't know why I have that much classical knowledge, I guess it's just me having been a violinist until my mid teens. Only track 10 and 14 are remakes from the Madrigale CD. Rest is all original iirc!

I don't think I will re-translate Mugen Alicetale and Soirée, the differences are quite minimal, there is another voice line by Alisha in Soirée and a slightly different way of denoting the lyrics. Mugen Alicetale is the same, except for that the lyrics are written down on a different way as well (will be reflected in the kanji transcription for both songs).

Symholic 10th CD x Xorsizer 4th CD - X - 邂逅せし双璧の剣影 - (Kaisouseshi Souheki no claidheamh mòr) - Presentation page

Hello and welcome back to my blog. (Do I have any returning readers?)

I proudly present you the presentation page of the Xorsizer 4th CD x Symholic Xth CD! Kaisouseshi Souheki no claidheamh mòr! According to Paspal 剣影 is pronounced as クライァヴ・モール!  The ancient Scottic Gaelic pronunciation!

Seriously Paspal, you are so talented. This CD is so amazing... the lyrics were also a new level of hard though haha. I made multiple memes about how hard this was for me to decipher. 

 

 

Okay memes aside... Let's return to X talk. The X stands for Symholic's 10th (Roman number X) CD. the X of Xorsizer and the x of cross(x) over! The vocals are done by Lalue and Xorsizer (Komatsu Rina and Paspal xD).

Look at this art! It's so cool and intense! The obi gives this quote to introduce the CD:

今　振り翳せ、終の傷を奏で合う双璧の《奏鳴曲》
Symholic≠Xorsizerによる《美旋律》コラボレーション

Now, Brandish! Together we play the final wound, the <sonata> of the twin swords!
Symholic≠Xorsizer's "Beautiful Melody" collaboration!

I expected Zenoth to be the final entry in the Lalue story, as Paspal denoted the God to be the Last Boss, but apparently there is sequel now and it kind of becomes a... tetralogy!

Tracklist:

1. 双璧の奏鳴曲 (Souheki no Sonata) - Sonata of the Twin Swords
2. Orthology
3. 純神ノ剣 -Virgin Blade- (Junshin no Tsurugi -Virgin Blade-) - The Pure God's Sword -Virgin Blade-
4. 穢魔ノ剣 -Awful Blade- (Aima no Tsurugi) - The Defiler's Sword -Awful Blade-
5. RESONANCE
6. X

And instrumentals for track 1 - 5!

All the songs were great, but my favourite track was track 4 without doubt. Second place is for track 1, the heated powerful duet is just what I needed. After that I think track 5, 2 and 3 follow in that order.

The Booklet pages that contain the end of the story have been published under the post "X"
