Nageki no Oto | Song of Lamentation

KOKIA

Romanji transliteration by @why-raven

大地に咲いた花は静かに　争いを見守っている 何かを守ろうとする度　誰かが犠牲になるの

何のための戦いだったのかと　沈黙の中で心は嘆いた Broken Blade

今は信じよう　未来はこの想いに値する価値のあるものだと 一つの愛を守るため　すり抜けていった　全てに意味があったと…

このまま時が止まればいい　愛する人が笑う

誰もがそんな日常を望んだだけ　それなのに今　心は嘆いた Broken Blade

命あればいいと　思っていた　大事なもの　奪い去られてしまうまで 壊れ行く　心の音　聞こえた気がした　このままでいいのか？と…

今は信じよう　未来はこの想いに値する価値のあるものだと 一つの愛を守るため　すり抜けていった　全てに意味があったと…

daichi ni saita hana wa shizuka ni　arasoi wo mimamotte iru nani ka wo mamorou to suru tabi　dareka ga gisei ni naru no

nan no tame no tatakaidatta no ka to　chinmoku no naka de kokoro wa nageita Broken Blade

quiz: japanese spirit animal — yiuno.

Jorōgumo — Spider Lady.

Jorōgumo are lone warriors who prefer to live solitary lives. You possess a cunning intelligence that makes you an excellent tactician, but you are left with an equally cold heart and see other humans as nothing more than insects to feed on—whether that’s just using them as sources of knowledge… or something far more sinister. You’d rather spend the night in with a glass of wine and a game of solo chess than go out raving or even to the pub. Jorōgumo can be skillful deceivers and powerful shape-shifters when they need to get ahead; however, when confronted with genuine compassion and sentiment, they can get their mental web in a serious tangle. Remember: letting your guard down with others may actually yield magical results beyond anything a textbook could ever provide.

For many Eorzeans, immortality is their answer to ascend the limitations of finite life. To Yiuno, however, it is a curse to eternal solitude. How many centuries—or perhaps even millennia—have come and gone? Even as he listens to the clock ticking away in the shadow of an inn room, time has stopped for Yiuno since the day he and his twin sister, Yiuna, were banished from their clan eons ago.

Though death has forsaken him and his soul is barred from ever rejoining the lifestream, Yiuno isn’t impregnable—blood still runs through his veins just like you and I. He still feels pain as raw as the knife that impales him… over and over again. His body and mind have screamed for release countless times, until the voice decays helplessly into the limbo, leaving only a numbing silence behind.

“If I cannot die, then I will live on. Even if I must trample over other lives to do so.”

This time, and maybe just a little, he is grateful for the longevity as a blessing in disguise. The passage of time becomes a tool to hone and polish his survival skills: knowledge sharpens his mind, magic broadens his capability, and experience creates his many faces in society. A fierce warrior who can stand his own ground on the battlefield, and a shapeshifting liar who has lived quietly in the shadows of known history.

As for the people around him, they are like candles lit up by the hand of gods, its flame burning brightly in the darkness. Their lives wane with each passing time, then they flicker and give way to the void…

Until he meets Sora. A young Auri girl who throws his stale life into a complete mess. A budding and excitable adventurer who shows him a new meaning to life.

Yiuno is willing to devote everything he has for this Warrior of Darkness… even when these unexpected changes will open fresh wounds in his long frozen heart.

ULTIMA —Ultimate Illusion— Boss Theme of Ultima | The Weapon’s Refrain (Ultimate)

“Be careful what you wish for, lest you get consumed by the despair of unfulfilled desires.”

Despite her cute appearance and elegant mannerism, this Musicart is earnest and stubborn to a fault, causing others to frequently alienate her. She is known as the “Flower that Blooms on the Battlefield” due to her lust for blood and explosive fighting style.

I Want to Know Classical Music in Detail! (anime ver.)

It's been a while after I last post a translation here, but I've been doing this illustration series about Takt op. Destiny's Musicarts and their respective composers!

Yup, I translate, clean, and typeset all of these on my own (●´⌓`●) But I love how these turned out so this can be a great educational post for Takt op. fans who wants to know about the classical music background on this series! I hope you enjoy!

I also had a compiled twitter thread of this too so go HERE for the thread!

Rinne —Reincarnation— (acoustic ver.)

V.W.P. (Virtual Witch Phenomenon)

English translation by @why-raven

You think you’re a god? Is this a divine punishment? I’m not at your mercy

A future that will change And friends that won’t Intersecting thoughts that never go well

Flashbacks of despair I can’t keep reliving this

Everything I once threw away I came here to get it back I want to protect it all And lose nothing Before this fever fades into the haze Theories of hope are reborn

When I open my eyes To find myself in a similar world My knees are shaking

Escape is not an option A crumbling world lies before me

Flashbacks of intention Humanity comes to a standstill Despair rumbles from within

Everything I once threw away I came here to get it back I can’t lose it all again I’ve been burning with rage Don’t feel pity for me Theories of hope on repeat

I’m tired of saying goodbye If I have face it again, I will

Things I’ve lost that day I came here to get them back The soul is undressed There’s nowhere left to run Call me a fool for my ignorance But I still believe in hope

If I’m reborn again and again I’ll seize the future

神様のつもりか？ 天罰のつもりか？ 言いなりになんてなるか

変わりゆく未来と 変わらない仲間と どうにもうまくいかない交差する思考

フラッシュバックする絶望 繰り返すままじゃいられない

一度捨てたもの 全て取り戻すためにここに来た 守りたいものばかりだ 全て失ってたまるか この熱が霞(かすみ)に消える前に 希望論は輪廻する

目を覚ませばそこは 同じような世界 膝が震えている

退場は許されない 目の前に広がる ボロボロに朽ちた世界

フラッシュバックする意向 人類は立ち止まる 絶望が腹を鳴らす

一度捨てたもの 全て取り戻すためにここに来た 二度と失ってたまるか 怒りで身を焦がしてきた 哀れだって思わないでくれ 希望論を繰り返せ

さよならはいい飽きた 繰り返すなら何度でも 立ち向かうさ

あの日こぼれ落ちたものを 取り戻すためにここに来た 魂は着飾らないもう どこにも逃げやしない わからずやだと馬鹿にしてくれ それでも希望を信じている

輪廻するなら何度でも 未来を　掴み取れ
