Someone posted about it back ... here. >>778

I only found out through here myself, haha. Jimang is awesome, as always.

>> No.921  

It makes me happy to see Jimang's solo work getting some more exposure, but it's also kind of worrying.

His voice is a bit esoteric, I think. A lot of people seem to not like it very much. Personally, I think it's pretty amazing, but it probably even took me a little bit of getting used to, which I only did due to the rest of SH's work.
I'm not sure what kind of criticism wider solo exposure might bring him, though.

>> No.927  

>>921
that's actually a good point... it did take me quite some time to get used to his voice. I think his voice has a very... distinct sound, it might not be for everyone. but I think his plus point is his 'acting' in his songs; he definitely sounds like he's all into the song. Uhh I hope I make sense.

>> No.933  

His comments on his solo work certainly adds to the respect I have for him as a writer. Reading the liner notes to hakanaki monotachi e as I listened to the album was quite a nice experience.

>> No.937  

I thought i heard Lemi's voice in the second track, but found nothing in the booklet...
His songs have such a SH feeling, at least that's what i feel, since i haven't listened to his other singles.

There's a thread somewhere around here with most of his solo albums.

I'm fairly certain this single is the first thing he's released since he put out a new album last summer.

Offenburg, territory of Preuzehn...

Without choking on the scent of bloody rain enough to induce dizziness, the man laughed...

The 182nd year of the Flandre calender. "The Battle at Aragon"
A Flandre force of 5000 men led by General Alvarez
Crossed the mountain ranges of Pyreenes and began their attack on Castilla territory
On the plains of Aragon, they engaged in combat with
Castilla Defense forces stationed in northern territory, numbering 12000 men

Every time they walk forward in courage, death pools around their feet
Their keen-edged blades flash by, and the enemies' fighting spirit[heart] is deluded

Not trying to pick, but a lot of the translations of the song names seem too...literal? I know artistic license is up to the translator, but there's a few I think need mentioning.

> The hourglass of cycles

'Rinne' - Word for the Buddhist Samsara, or, the cycle of death and rebirth. I usually just call it 'The Hourglass of Death and Rebirth' to be more concise.

> Fantasies of Thanatos

I've always known 'gensou' to be more often used as 'illusion', but I've seen them interchangable.

I had great fun jumping to this while watching Moirancon DVD. Surprisingly it took numerous pleas before Revo thought to include this song in Moira's encore.

Welcome to the marverous super dimension,

Aren't twilight and sunset interchangable...? Or that's what I've thought.

And don't even ask me why I chose hand when fully knowing ude means arm. It's just one of those weird things that I have no control over. It's like that time when 'warewa' meant 'we will' to me.

I did use Hourglass of Death and Rebirth in my first translation...right in this thread, actually. But I decided to shorten it because...I don't have a good excuse. Just getting tired of typing.

I've rarely encountered 'iwaku', and the short title doesn't give me much to work with. But if it fits with the character, then sure, why not.

I know the meaning behind Tadoritsuku, but doesn't far reaching mean 'having a wide scope of influence'?

Twilight is actually the period of time after sunset. It'd be closer to the concept of dusk, I think.

Personally, I've always translated "Tadoritsuku no Uta" as "The Song that Finally Arrives", although it's kind of hard to come up with a concise definition in English that fully retains the original concept.

>> No.957  

I think 'The Song of Arrival' fits better as a translation.

Greetings, it has been a while since I've posted here, hasn't it? I apologize, but I've been pursuing other interests for the moment, as the very last thing I want to do is start getting tired of Sound Horizon.

Don't worry, though, I'm not going to take the site down any time soon; in fact, I renewed the domain name registration just the end of May. I was vaguely worried you might somehow fill up the fairly meager server space I have, but we seem to be safe there- we're not even close to half full.

Anyway, I learned that some of the servers from my host were compromised a couple weeks back, and this site's server was on the list. There was no lasting damage, but there was a warning that the site may have been redirected to a malware site for a very short period of time.

I doubt this affects anyone here, and it was quite a while back (July 9 [I was on vacation for two weeks at the time]), but I thought I'd warn you just in case. Specific details follow:

WARNING: During a short period of time during the attack, your site may have been redirected to a malware page promoting a "Web Accelerator" program. This file contains a virus identified as "Backdoor.Win32.VanBot!IK." Though the exposure time was very short, (less than 30 minutes) there is a possibility that users may have downloaded it. I would suggest informing your users of this and recommend that they run a virus scan and take measures to ensure their system is clean if they happened to download it.

I was an idiot and got the malware page because during the attack I sort of refreshed the page every minute or something like that. :'D But anyway, glad that the site's on the up and up.

Ohh, so that's why it was down. I was worried you had closed the site for a bit. It's so nice having a SH imageboard/BBS like this.

I would think my antivirus or firewall would've caught the malware, but I think I'll run a check now just to make sure. Thank you. ^^

Ah, thank you for the heads-up! Will do a system check to be sure. Thank you for all your efforts and the space you lend out to us!

Ah, thanks for the links! Both are absolutely amazing - I'll never stop being amazed by NicoNico users.

The Rozen Maiden one is beautifully done, and I was delighted to see one made for "El no Rakuen [->side:E->]" and "Kimi ga Umaretekuru Sekai". The Baccano! one is just adorable. Everyone fit into their roles so well, especially Shaytan and Layla (and suddenly, I understand all the BAKKAPURU jokes).

When it comes to SH MAD traces, I can only think of this one, which is set to Maaya Sakamoto's "Loop" (one of Tsubasa Chronicle's EDs): http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5968417

Hello everyone! I'm Kurobara (aka soichirokun).

I've been working for the support and "promotion" of sound horizon overseas. I have a channel in youtube (/soichirokun) with some translations and DVD uploads, and I've been posting in the Sound Horizon loooong thread in MCanime.

I've been taking some looks to this message board these days, and I think you would be interested in the following:

I've been growing a beta-project for a Sound Horizon Internarional Fansite, a website to gather AAAALLL the SH information available in english.

This website is http://sanhora.webs.com and its beta title is WHITE CROW.

I thought you all would like to participate in this long-waited and hard work, so I've created a message board inside the website to allow people to send messages, tips, collaborations, opinions...to improve the website.

Kurobara - interesting site! =D I'm especially interested in the Sound Horizon glossary page; even that can go a long way to helping understand their songs.

Been checking SH stuff on pixiv for the last few days, and gotten quite a few comic strips. From Esper Gakuen crack, Orpheus's jealousy attacks, yaoi fangirl!Misia to serious adaptations of the songs and character inspection, pixiv is full of variety.

I've decided to share some comic strips as well as a translation of them since they're priceless. And feel free to dump your SH comic strip folder here as well(actually scratch that. Please dump them here. I'm hungry for them.) Feel free to request translations as well although I'll probably translate the ones that strike my fancy(read:contain massive dosages of Elefseus) anyways.XD I'm pretty desperate for SH right now.

I actually like both. Aramary's version is fun to sing and has a great beat, while Revo and YUUKI's version is sweeter, sadder and fits more with the theme of the song.

Admittedly, though, I do find myself leaning towards the Triumph version. It was a great live performance, and the arrangement was simply beautiful.

>> No.594  

It's hard to choose between them, because both has its own merit.
For example in the story aspect, the original version has narration part which explain the background story better. On the other hand the triumph version while omit them, add more lines to the lyrics in order to create 'better atmosphere' to be sung together by the love couple. IMHO the latter is more an 'extended version' for the original.

>> No.595  

I think I prefer the Triumph one, because (as the anon above said) it has a "better atmosphere".

However, for the music I prefer the Lost one. So I guess both have their own merits :)

>> No.597  

I agree that Aramary's version is more of a 'storytelling' song, while the Triumph version is more emotional. I think I slightly prefer the Triumph version.

>> No.598  

IMO, Triumph version has a lot better singing, and hence is a lot more pleasant to listen to. I prefer the more mellow instrumentals as opposed to the more.... I dunno, clinky? Lost version. Didn't actually like the song much until I heard the Triumph version. Like in Lost, I'd far prefer The Game in the Cage or Red Flower.
