Kururin Paradise - All Magic Showcase (English Translation Attempt)
updated
Yes, Lon. If you've been here a while, you know I'm all about Lon cause she is excellent and cute and also her vocals can cure depression^_^
I just felt so happy listening to her that first time back 5 years ago~!
YOU SEE (Insert flashback transition here!)
It was 2020 during the heat of the summer pandemic, and I was a bored little 26 year old something that was looking up new themes for my 3DS:O I didn't know you could do that UNTIL that summer!
Either way, I found a theme that took my heart frame one, and it was for Lon's Sweet Magic Cover! It was cheery, pink, gorgeous, and affordable!
...But I couldn't:P It was limited time, and it had been pulled a year prior:(((
"Well, darn!" I thought. What do I do now?
...I could, you know...still buy the album:3 It looks like something I'd keep for ever and ever and ever, even if I was huffing and puffing for my last breath of air as a geezer reminiscing on the good old dreams of living youthfully for an even longer period than "Forever and ever~!"
If anything, it's like a small little capsule to break out whenever life gets hard. My escape from the suckage that the IRL Realm constantly gives me. My sanctuary that reinforces how cool life CAN be:333 (It also reminds me of a doctor friend I made through the album that, while I unfortunately lost down the road to my own errors, I still think fondly of their kindness to share their time with me.)
For that, I treasure it like a second heart gifted by someone no longer with us.
I even got the cool keychain and sticker that came with the CD!
Now if only I can get my hands on the two extra songs that HMV sold as an extra, but I dunno if they've been dumped online:333 (Recochoku certainly doesn't have them. GRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrr....)
Back to this, I made it my mission to translate every song on this album, even if they've been translated before (And boy has THIS number been done!), but I wanted to try it myself!!! I am still learning Japanese, after all!
Even if I'm hokey dokey, there is an effort that must be made:3
And so, I bring you a translation attempt about cake, sweets and falling in love that brings my story full circle, and at the most perfect time, too!!!
I even got my cool 3DS after some searching on hShop! How kind of them to keep it:DDD!
---
(LIKE ALWAYS, I took some liberties with my translation:O Some things may not be 1-1, but I hope the intent is still intact, cause if not, then I won't feel very free trying to fix it later:O)
ALSO KNOWN AS JUNKY - スィートマジック (カバー:ろん)
I wanted this back in 2020, but couldn't buy it cause it was limited time only:(((
If I'm the last J-POP ZOO fan in the world, so be it!!!:D I get to flaunt it now!
And since it's still Summer Explosion 25, I need to give a second look at a title not many have seen since copies are rare...and for rich people:3
Knuckles Chaotix is ready to show you the short lived world of 32X! Remember that silly extension to the Genesis? No...and neither does your wallet.
Have you ever longed to be with someone so much, you felt tethered to their soul? Well, look no further, you're basically controlling the actions of TWO!
And if your first thought is a memetic, "OH NO. OH NO. GIVE IT YOUR BEST---OH NO" then dial that back a bit, cause while it gets cumbersome, the 32 bit world has a lot of jank that wraps around to being quite comical when you're just trying to go straight:3
It's a total blast! And that's why it's REALLY called "Blast Processing!"
Take that, Plumber Boy!

Doubly so if you're an eternal newbie, but that's okay!
I have the persistence that others could only dream of scribbling out!
Here's just a taste of my many days journey to turn Junk Mall into English for all to enjoy!!!

This took 3 hours for 6 pages:O
Less than a hundred now!!! We're on fire!?
Music: Pink Ball Activate from Kirby: Planet Robobot!
Sure, most of them may be Key Games, but whatevers! We're gonna have fun:3 What was your favorite reveal during this direct:D?
Mine was the fact that I bought that Pac Man Game on the PS2, only for this to be revealed here:(
...
At least my version has Ms. Pac Man :D!
Now you too can see why I haven't streamed in decades! (But would love to!)
Info on my two big projects as well as some little ones can be warped to below:3 May you be elucidated and never doubt my broken brain:3
...I really wish I could live life like a candy bar made of computer parts.

In today's episode, our hero, Will, decides he's gotta find a golden ship somewhere in the mountains that was full of people that knew Daddy-o at some point in the past! Probably!
The higher we seem to travel, the more I conk out as the thoughts of riches and freedom break the distance! But at least our quirky friends are here? How'd they even find us!? Do I have an airtag stuck on me???
Who put that there?

Late in the early months of 2009, the house was empty for a few days, and the computer was all mine:O
What was a 14 year old with unlimited (Yet limited) access to the internet to do? I had no money, no one to talk to, no social media (No one was online)
Guess it's emulation time! But I can't play Megaman X4 like I wanted, cause the computer's not beefy enough:O
I wonder if I can now:D
For the moment, let's try Illusion of Gaia, another one of Enix's quirky outings staring a fun loving youngin who has to go find his dad who had an equal love of long journeys and big towers! I accept this, and hope I can scratch that Zelda-like Itch, cause it's very up that alley~!
...I just need to keep my eyes open, cause I don't remember being THIS sleepy for streams!

In the final episode of this stream series, our digitally bound heroes are on a race against time as the Fudge Fructose Faction have Coneru's best friend in chains for world domination! (That's how they've been hitting rewind all this time!) And boy is she furious! Not just for being a vessel for society's malnutrition, but for losing to Coneru at Chinese Checkers... (People take their hobbies waaaaay too seriously:3)
Can Conerates make it through the first four levels for the third time and rekindle a long distance friendship before the purplish/pinkish thunderbolts render fruits extinct?
Will the cats on Mr. Moonviewer's House be safe?
Will Coneru ever get to reenact her favorite comics in Shonen Shampoo?
Will I fall asleep during my cardio climb???
Find out the answer to these questions somewhere else! I'm busy baking donuts for a character that doesn't exist.
(NOTE: The bit about optional stages was a mistranslation:O It's okay, though! I learned better:3)

In today's episode, our digitally bound heroes are on the rise to the Fructose Hater Clan House once again, and things, while samey, are still exciting as the Shubashuba Dude has his own robot named for a philosopher to catch fists with!
He's a toughie, and the battle is neck and neck, but even a victory leads us back to square one with thankfully a higher level, but now dealing with a thunderstorm of dimensionally disturbing proportions where a jealously familiar face to our starbound friend is held prisoner!
But who? And why?
It looks like even silly donut girls deal with drama~!

In today's episode, our digitally bound heroes are bound to play this song and dance from birth till death as we're replaying Stages 1 and 2 with slightly more difficult level layouts!
Things are certainly more hectic, and more immediate! Even the bad guy shows up early flaunting over the fact that our "Rival" is gonna nuke us in the days to come!
Oof, I can't wait! Or can I? I think we'll just bush them, smash em, ka-blash them like everything else in this game! Man, woman, child, and fruit hater!

In the final episode of this chapter, our two podunk delinquents and nation's fluffiest boy go through layers and layers of worlds we cannot see to find the villain and their big sword making even more worlds to the point that one of the AOT Titans pops up with his fetus children to commence the rumbling until our heroes think to put a flashlight down it's throat!
Suddenly, everything is better! Even Goat Mom who was getting her dance on with Bone Man until 2026 when nature takes over the city for some reasons~ (Seriously, what a mood whiplash, but I'm also glad they're chill:3)
And thus, Gaster was pleased for now...
But still impatient:3 We'll get there! To that prophecy, even if we don't know what the ending is!
Someone tell me!

In today's episode, our podunk delinquents and world's fluffiest boy go deeper into churchland to find a region of decorations and other important pieces that regrettably have nothing to look up to, just words from eras past.
Oh, but look at all the cool friends we can make, like the holy water water, the myriad of plastic cups, and even a great pumpkin!
And don't forget the ghostly goo that speaks...Mandarin?
I think so, anyhoo!
And best of all is the old turtle hermit whose bulging eye gives me K-Rool Vibes, but instead of a banana holic, this guy's a sage of words! Just look at that pen go~! And don't get them started on the hammer in the back! Now that really smashes in the point!
No need for erasers!
Also streamed on June 8th 2025
In today's episode, our podunk delinquents make good on their promise to do study buddy shenanigans at the holiday house, when in secret, all this really is is a ruse for them to find clues to the bunker where the chess knight is keeping the spear of justice who took a trip into damsel in distressville between the two chapters!
Everything culminates in a guitar found in a room that belonged to MIA Girl which supposedly has the one thing that can help our heroes get inside the big double doors down south, but that can wait for another day:O We have two girls bonding and a potential relationship on the rise!
SHIP IT! SHIP IT!
Er, don't we have a dark world to do this chapt---
Oh! There it is! In the church! It was raining, you see! Her mom was being a corkblocker, you see! And now we're here cause the house is locked...
You see?

In today's episode, our podunk delinquents and fluffiest boy end up back in the land beyond night to meet their friends old and new and see everyone's reaction to having a tv thrown inside:D
Amazingly, it doesn't smash to bits, but instead becomes a real boy? (Boy if only we could do that in real life!) We even get to meet their offscreen assistant which comes in flavors of 3! Lean, bling, and purring! All you have to do is shout and shut it in one of the game's more quirky aspects (In a game chock full of them!)
...How does that work on consoles~?
And reviews are in! The Cathodes are a hit! After all, ILOVETV and so do you!!!

The morning after dealing with a tv obsessed with jump cuts and funky fonts comes a trip into serious lane with a weekly church visit containing practically everyone in town! (Yes, even the dancing spike boy)
Man this place is popular! (Also, don't these things usually happen on Sunday? Mmm, different cultures, me thinks!)
Either way, our podunk delinquents had a project to work on, didn't they? Libraries didn't work out for obvious reasons, so how about a hang out at the holiday house? It comes complete with piano playing and gingerbread men that taste like...ice?

Whatevs:O It's Deltarune Today!!! And I needed to stream this because I've been starved for new stimuli from this series for 3 1/2 years, and I refuse to do anything except talk about it till the day is done:3

3 years ago, our two podunk delinquents were swooped up into the realm of I CAN'T SEE Land once again. Now, in the present, the gloves come off and they're immediately scooped up into a fun little gameshow full of heart unhealthy dangers, brain melting quizzes that get meta mega, and carry so many little minigames, I wouldn't be surprised if they show up in another chapter and gain their own little speedrun streams in AGDQ or some silliness, right?
All of this is orchestrated by the TV Man who looks straight out of Mario Party with his 3Dish 2D Model, and he's juggling a gacha with our names on it if they survive the day without any trauma~
We'll try. There's always something that has to happen and it makes this happy little world hard to stomach sometimes:(((
We'll keep on, though. We're the...we're the fun gang, r-r-right?
In today's episode, our digitally bound heroes are in Hydrocity Zone for two seconds before realizing they're in the confines of a hotel, lugging a pretty big keycard down for an elevator they could've punched a freaking hole through this whole time just to play bowling with the big boys upstairs:O It's such a shame they didn't give us a chance to appreciate the more finer aspects of event planning~
The same could be same of their boss, a very bishonen and winged wonder who traps us in his fructose hating labyrinth that leads with his inevitable defeat (No duh~), but the sore loser hits the literal reset button and now we have to play the whole game again! (And it's much cloudier this time:O Totally unfitting for the dating scene~ Can you say "Major Ewws"?)
If I have to beat 4 super gods and go back to fight the incarnation of chaos, we're gonna have plagiarism problems herexDDD

What's this!? The cute girl from 2021 on Twitter had a game made about her!?!? What do you mean?
I just thought she was the master of gif animations~! To think it was all to hype up a steam powered platforming adventure where she stars with Socrates, her dimensional space sharing...robot...statue...friend...person?
And golly, what a much shorter level than the demo! Where's all the difficulty! I guess they must've realized it was as hard as getting shocked by a lightning rod~!
BZZZZZTTTTT
I do NOT speak from experience, mind you:O Light is tasty, but I was more into pretzels, which you need to bake with an oven...
An oven...powered by lightning!
Somehow it all connects if you stretch your brain hard enough!

The year is 20XX and Shinjuku, a once bustling district of Tokyo, Japan is beset by a bunch of mask wearing mukimuki gentlevillains named the "F*** Fructose Squad" who have been making it difficult for the locals to get their needed supply of vitamins, and now people are getting sick!
Thankfully, Coneru swoops in by accident, trying to cosplay a cat, and what a serendipitous encounter it is, cause Dr. Moonviewer's robot also came to life and is actually powering her projection:O
He is the lightning that charges us up:O Or something~
Now it's up to our star-crossed eccentrics to scour the lands of modernica to stop those haters of all that is healthy and nutritious.
After all, who in the world could hate Ambrosia Salad? Don't you want to live forever?

Lady Luck, thank you for helping me out with the clown:3
Spammer won't be too much of an issue, so everything from here is smooth sailing:3 Even finding the man in the tree won't be so hard:D
Phew! I'm outta practice!
But I never ever stopped trying to support others!
That said,
This is Yuukimae! She's a...cat ninja chuuni something something who is obsessed with Levi Ackerman from AOT!
Yes, the one that says, "ERWE---" a whole lot! That dude.
The same dude that gives Monkey Trouble some legit trouble:3
She has a fun stream on Sundays where she plays something truly terrifying that'll really get you shaking so hard, people'll start thinking you just walked out of the arctics!
BRRR!!!
And you know the best part about Yuukimae?
She's a Fujoshi!!! Hell yes!
I have a deep and unimpeded respect for Fujoshi.
Their passion for their craft and adoration is something to be acknowledged and admired!
Good on you for liking what you like, you silly Gooner Goddess you~!
I'll be here in the sidelines cheering you on till the day I lose my breath, cause I think all this chemical mixing I'm doing in my room with bleach is doing something to my lungs:3

BGM: Celestial Judgement from Visions of Mana!
It's already in English!
If they do this more often, I may be out of a job~!
Anyhoo, this was reacted to at the end of one of my translation attempt streams when I remembered, "OH YEAH! Don't I have something to listen to?"
In reality, I have a LOT to listen to. It's just that this is a priority~!
Sorry for the bad sound:3 I'll keep it high next time~!
Also known as ポルカドットスティングレイー魔物
Approximately a couple days after I should've, Peaches can see the horizon, and boy is it too cloudy to see the obvious terror that awaits on the other side!
Mr. Magic Turtle kidnapped the wrong person! But then again, he always does that cause the script requires him to get thrown into the sea to feel sorry for himself for about 13 minutes before hatching some new scheme on some new hardware we haven't even heard of yet~!
Perhaps this is the prequel to NSMB? It DID come out not long after this title~! 2006, everyone!
Whatevs~ The most important question in all of this mushroom liberation is this:
Where did our umbrelloo go?
If you have a talking umbrella, don't you think that has some kind of value? The curse was never lifted, the old man was never found. Don't tell me he's just in some closet somewhere gathering dust!
Who's the real villain? The princess or her forgetfulness???
I always have to do something for this day of days:D (No one else will!)
And while I didn't have anything to show off last year due to it falling two days before the 5 Months of Sadness (I'm trademarking that, by the by!) I'm happy to say that due to developments behind the scenes, I'm now gonna show this tropical treat off! (And a few more details about where this channel is going, including a much coveted thing with the number "2" attached!
Everyone loves 2! Except for the folks who would ruin a sequel to a really good thing!
But this isn't about sequels! It's about...

Err...more on that later. For now, just take a load off on what really matters most!

Remember when I used to be a creative soul???
Yeah, neither do I!
Syke! I totally still am, cause I've been working on projects like the Junk Mall Translation, the Magical Vacation Guidebook Translation, and of course, THIS.
Let's talk about it!
I looooove J-POP! It's my boom and has been since I jumped in in early 2019, and one of the first groups I found was Sangatsu no Phantasia, where Mia (That's the girl in blue!) and her musical posse talk about their love of the month of March!
It's a goated month, and I respect their craft!
Somewhere along the lines, I found out about Nanawoakari and her mega cute style! (She's the girl in pink!)
They finally decided, "Girl, we need a collab song! It'll be listened to TONS!"
"Good idea, Nanawo. But what should it be about!?"
"Angels! Duh~!"
"Mmm! That makes sense! You're an angel already! I should learn to be one myself, too!"
"I'm a useless one! But the sentiment stands!"
"Should we commission someone to do the melody?"
"Yeah! I'm thinking the person who did Alien Alien can whip up something fierce!"
"Great idea!"
"IKR?"
"Good talk! Looking forward to gaining my own set of wings!"
"Mua ha ha!"

That's not how that convo went, probs:P
What DID happen, however, was the long production time for this translation~!
It took about 3 weeks for the translation proper, 1 week or so for the illustrations, and then practically the WHOLE month of April to piece the assets together in video form!
Some days, I'd come from work, and just crash over the thought of working on this:O (Let it be! Let it be~!)
One night, I remember the sound on the vid just...stopped working:P I was so frustrated, until I found out that the video project itself was corrupted, so I had to process it into a brand new project and hit RESUME!
And the drawings:O OMG, the drawings:O
There were so...many...drawings...
And almost all of them had to be drawn THRICE for the gif effect:O My hands are burning! But they burn for this craft, and I can't help but feel proud of that:3
In the end, though? I really gotta keep these videos simple:3 No more craziness~! No more massive scopes! (I hope you love the drawings, though:3)
I'm just gonna leave that for the BIG BIG translations~!
Now then, I think I need a nap and a big bowl of fried broccoli, cause my nutrition level is dead from laboring over this color fest:O
Whose pan is that? Lemme borrow it!!!

(LIKE ALWAYS, I took some liberties with my translation:O Some things may not be 1-1, but I hope the intent is still intact, cause if not, then I won't feel very free trying to fix it later:O)

And thus, after a year long struggle, the battle against languages comes to a close...
FOR NOW.
And yes, there will always be other projects, big or small that come past this day, but let's not talk about those details right now.
You came to see the fruits of one robot's labor to turn words into other words and give you something to feel cool about: A small niche game about spacegoing teens who wanna save their teacher and maybe even the whole universe while they're at it!
Complete with maps, guideposts, and even little tips and tricks that may even make you chuckle (I HOPE) as you touch down on Planet X, here's the Magical Starsign Official Guidebook English Translation Attempt in all of it's cosmic glory~!
...
Originally, I had this released in 2023 chronicling what went down during the mighty comeback year of 2022, and all was well. Until they weren't!
There were issues I gradually became aware of in the back end, and even the front end of this silly video's development. Some were out of my control. But some elements were totally in my control, and that was what I had to take charge to correct. (No, that doesn't include grammatical errors. I do NOT have the assets to the project anymore to fix that:/)
So! If you notice a change or two from it's original posting two years ago, (Heck! The whole video is 21 minutes longer!) then that's the reason why!
All that matters to me is that, no matter how small, you enjoy this first giganto outing I did in the translation nation~!
As for what's next? Well, see for yourself! I've already been showing off given how long it's been since!
Can ya see the ocean? It's closer than you think!

Approximately two DAYS after the last stream after the last one after the las---
Last time, I swear~
Peaches wants to chill out after a weekend at the beach where ice cream trucks ahoy were too plenty. She's too poor now!
She had to sell her kingdom~!
Replacing that, there is a lot of...ice cream?
Look, does anyone else just shove ice into their mouth and just pretend?
I'd recommend it wholly, but maybe stay away from the yellow ones that the Abominable Snowman tries to hand you:3
Approximately two months after the last stream after the last one after the las---
WE GET IT.
Peaches takes a scenic tour of the shifting sand land as the weather is great, and the temp seems right! All we need is a martini, some live music, and some friends to hang with, and all's gucci.
It's a shame that the toads are gone. They would do:P There's also that silly squid that's squirting his innards all over the beach:P
No one likes that. You're a buzz kill, squidloo~! Who brought their umbrella to ease this sudden weather difference?
...Oh? Just me. Well then.
Only this time, it's heralding the end of our wait for info on this silly 2witch!
Are you excited??? I am:D But I refuse to buy this game until next year:D
I have secrets in production that cannot be revealed for a while, so just wait~!
Let's spend another day in wait while seeing what next I should spend my money on:O
I suppose this video will help:3 We've got an hour of products, and I'm eyeing two of them!
Ha! TWO! 2witch! It all connects in the end~!

This was on my mind for too long since it's June 2024 release, and finally, one day recently, I got off the train getting home, and I uttered the first few lines of this translation that I just fashioned up out of the blue,
and I knew. I had to translate this.
Hoshino Mair, the Rock V Singer who has come quite a long ways since her start back in the late 10s!
She's got two albums, one major record album, and even toured across Japan last year and made new friends:D How's that for growth?:DDD
There's so many fun songs and serious songs ranging from tune love to being a super star or even running! Running! Fast!!!
I need to give a shot to many of them, but for now, let's talk about this tune:D
Semete, Aoku~
Of all the songs I've tried translating, this is probably the one with the easiest message to decipher: Musicians (Or even just people making their own creations) and the struggle they face to be heard will go through it, but triumph with the youthful energy they bear in the end. Or at the very least, they will ascend beyond doubt and reach their audience, amplifying their self-esteem to inspire future works and future people as well~
And thus, the cycle continues~!
Since Mair is a singer and DID do the lyrics for the song, it's only natural it should mainly be about musicians~! The unsung heroes of our eardrums~!
Regarding the "AOKU" part, I believe it's taking the word "Blue" and turning it into an adverb~ And since "Blue" can be seen as being "Unripe" or "Inexperienced", I interpreted that as "Young", which fits with my interpretation of young people keeping on keeping on~!
The melody is so...melancholy, but also very slash slash and hope!
...
HA! Slashslash? Er, look~
The only brain process I can be right now is mega silly though:D
At the very least, you will know, Dangerous rumors afoot
~!
---
ALSO, that whole matching the lips was no easy feat, but I couldn't NOT do it for the whole song:O
It was originally gonna be for the chorus ONLY, but then...ideas kept evolving, as they do~!
And it just kept going, and going, and going!
And here we are, with all of the lip flaps:D They feel so alive, my drawing!!!
Is this the next form of V-Tubing:DDD?
...
...
I'm not doing THAT part again. G'night~!!!

(LIKE ALWAYS, I took some liberties with my translation:O Some things may not be 1-1, but I hope the intent is still intact, cause if not, then I won't feel very free trying to fix it later:O)
Well, who cares about that! We've got all these cool games like Tomodachi Life, and Metroid: Psychic Edition, and even Not Harry Potter, but indie!
And then there's my favorite: Watercolor the RPG!
Yesssss, that one needs a stream, doesn't it:DDD?
You may on your last breath, OG Swotch, but I still love ya:D Let's see what else you can muster in this last year or so~!!!
And here's to one more week!
Approximately one week after my last week right after the last one, Peaches gets tired of being scared out of her mind by the tales of kidnapped carpenters, and gets a little festive where Volcanion calls home in the hottest part of Paldea, except for the fact this is an island, and NOT the Iberian Peninsula , and Volcanion originates a few miles north of that joint anyhoo.
...
It's the fire level 4 worlds early, and who would complain with such a bop in the background~! You can even bop the Wednesday Caterpillar on the nose and watch him crash out so hard, he experiences muscle atrophy enough to a point that we can pop it like a zit~!
The explosion is so gross and large, we've gotta wash our face off~! Let's go find a good source of water to contaminate~!
Approximately one week after my last week, Peaches stops chopping down trees in the forest and uses the proceeds to build a mansion that immediately gets populated with the departed that probs lost their lives via logging accidents. (Trust me, I know.)
As for the big guy at the end? He's the foreman, the one who rules over all the lumberjacks that ended up dying. You see, he needed friends on the other side, and since he didn't have family, he had to hold onto someone for eternity. He has workers, so that explains why things are the way they are~!
With his defeat, Peaches not only stopped Bowwow's Plot a bit more, but we also freed a lot of really innocent people from being trapped with a possessive man, so that's two for two!
Approximately one month after my last stream, Peach finally decides that grasslands are boring and decides to jump head first into preventing the pregnancy of funny undies plant at the tip of the prairie, bringing the world's headcount down by 1, and a whole flurry of potential 1s as well!
Now resources will last for a bit longer before Mushroom Forest loses all it's flowing and gushing water~ Unless they drink it from her tears, of which she has as much energy for that as her vibe gauge is willing to allow:O
As for me? I'm flipping tired. Lemme nap~
It's Valentine's Day! Er, WAS...
Yeah, for the moment, I'll just say that it is:3 Play along, k~?
It's Valentine's Day, and what's a better way to eat your own heart out than by getting screened at an airport - MV Style!
But we can't do that just yet:O We have an hour to kill! What do we do!?!?!
Oh, um, well, I, ah...
DS GAME! Come to me! I don't care which! Just make sure it has platforming! And platforming accessories!
Oh, and it must be pink!
Oh, and I never had played it before for extra fundles~! (I got to world 4 as a 23 year old, so it mostly counts?)
Enter this late 2005/Early 2006 title about a princess who just wants to stroll, but Mr. Magic Turtle just doesn't know how to take the word "No" for once in his life~
I show you peaches, Jack~! Come over here! Er...once I'm done crying through this collapsible bridge:O Emotions are power, after all~!
Imagine in Moustache Man had emotions! How do you think his moustache would feel?
I have! Take this translation attempt for example! I've been working on it for about a month when it shouldn't have taken that long, but the thing is...
I have some serious vertigo going on as of about a week ago, and I still dunno how it's getting resolved!
And yet, in spite of all that, I'm here! Fighting for the silliness I believe in, cause I can never be stopped! Even if I land up in a hospital bed! (Someone help me.)
Originally, this was going to be released on my birthday, but I couldn't think of a song translation to release this month, so I opted to save another translation for that day instead!
J-POP ZOO!
Remember that fun little album that Lon (Yes, LON. The legendary utaite from forever ago?) put out in 2015?
Check the calendars! It's 10 years old this year, and you better believe I'm gonna try and translate every song in this silly CD as a commemoration event!
ER, minus those extra songs only available at HMV or so~ I...can't get a hold of those:/
But if anyone has them~...
---
This song is called SPICA!
Heeeeey, isn't that a star in the sky?
What's the song even about anyhoo?
Well, I can only surmise it's about a friend or a lover who is hopeful towards the future with someone in their sights, but is brought down, not only by a broken past, but many other moody moods that ultimately don't falter them as they've got that shine still! Skewered as it may be:3
...I THINK?
Between getting lazy with the drawings and the absolute heck it took to create a script that made...sorta sense? My brain's too fried right nowD:
How about you? What do YOU think!? Let's hear your impressions on 1998 Adventures, and then let's party over tea~! BECAUSE.
------
(LIKE ALWAYS, I took some liberties with my translation:O Some things may not be 1-1, but I hope the intent is still intact, cause if not, then I won't feel very free trying to fix it later:O)
Instead, we're getting a Valentine's Day MV entirely about the airport and getting screened by security...IN TROPICAL HANDMADE STYLE! Because yes:3
Did you expect anything particular? Like a "Racing into the airport to meet your lover" kinda story?
Well too badxD Let's prepare for our overseas journey by thinking about the scariest part of flight: Those guys in the blue suits who wanna know where you came from, where you're going, and what you're gonna do when you get there!
PSST! Just lie!
Tell em you work for Charlie's Produce, and your boss is a dude who's named Walter, who really likes walnuts, and you lost a bet, and that's why you're flying to Cancun at 3 AM~!
I wonder where Shizuku and the team are headed:O It better be Fukuoka~ I hear it's beautiful:3 Especially that tower!
It just dominates the stars at night with all those lights! Isn't technology incredible?:D

ALSO, I attempted a translation of this song, too!

In the final episode of this stream series, our monster catching neglectful now has access to the highest peak of both regions. But before they can scale it to fight off one of the primary colors who is now 3 years more saturated, the god of all monsters, Wheel Llama descends with a mission solely for this random trainer: "Help me deliver judgment on my disciples who have strayed on their heavenly duties."
THUS, they must scurry through the routes they'd seen a million times before, felling that which we call legendary and would normally catch if we had a brain in locales that didn't exist in 2000 for some reason involving memory limitations.
None of this matters in the end~ I wanna move on with life:D
Let the gods meet their end by the hands of the lazy! And maybe, once they're done, we can go make snowmen in some random spot up north near Hokkaido.
In today's episode, our monster catching neglectful is sweeping through the eastern lands in the hopes of snagging every badge they can to be the top dog in the consciousness of all!
They do get a little sleepy, however. So it's not like this was an easy feat to see through, especially with all this walking wearing out the soles of their shoes~ Or their patience:D
But it is what must be done since there are no 3D Printers or Etsys in this world to forge our way through victory's door here. It's still 2010, after all!
In today's episode, our monster catching neglectful goes down a winding road full of bikers, bug catchers, lame birds, and even cities that once had purpose, but now no longer do:O
Isn't that a shame?
It doesn't matter, because all the while, the beautiful plant they picked up is nurturing itself on it's way to the top of the mountain where it'll slaughter all foes that keep it from being NO.1!
But that can wait for later:3 Let's do some city life living up in the midwest!
In today's episode, our monster catching neglectful explores a freaky looking cave without a candle to their name, which ultimately leads them in circles till they remember that the internet exists to help light the way:D Not with the brightness setting, either, but with a map to give them some of a general "How-to" on where to move so they can move ever closer to the newly built radio tower of the fallen from a few years ago~
Am I the only one that feels it was kinda weird they got rid of the cemetery for...radio usage? Very strange switch up~
Thing's better be hot this year:O Every odd numbered year tends to be hot:O Both literally and figuratively~! I wanna feel like I'm melting darn it!
Well, whatevs. Let's just get the formalities outta the way:O
Welcome to a new year of silly song translation attempts!
This one comes courtesy of Polkadot Stingray, my fav band in the universe!
And even more special is the fact that this song in particular is their FIRST EVER song to be used as an anime opening!!! WHOOOOO~!
The Anime in question's called, "I have a crush at work!" and it's about two workers in different departments of the same company building who've hit it off, but are hushhush about it cause it would cause drama to stir:O
But wait, doesn't drama stir even if they don't tell through like, other means or so?
PRECISELY! And that's what makes a kooky romcom like this so funny to watch!
Speaking of watch, I think it's on Bilibili, and with subtitles, too for all those still learning! (Like myself~!)
As for the song's meaning?
Hmm, I wanna say the speaker is Yui, the main girl and her struggles through life before Masugu, the main dude came along and things got chill, but also not at times~!
What do YOU think???
Tell me in the comments! Or, you know...you could tell me your favorite flavor of pencil as well:O
Either or~!
Oh yeah, before I dip, that suitcase isn't Stufwell:P I hate that b-word! No, rather, it's a suitcase from the official promo art for the song, but with a face:D
Everything has to have a face! Even the unknown.... Ooooooooohhhhhh~!!!!
---
(LIKE ALWAYS, I took some liberties with my translation:O Some things may not be 1-1, but I hope the intent is still intact, cause if not, then I won't feel very free trying to fix it later:O)
JUST A NOTE! I had to reupload this due to a number of errors I noticed from last time! Hopefully, there will be no more errors henceforth! Just interpretations! Kinda like when you look at a color and say, "This is orange!" but someone else sees..."Thorange!"
---
If I had to describe this song in one word, it would definitely be
"COOL!"
Welcome back to my silly attempts at translating Polka Stingray Music!
Today's episode is about OUT, a song made at the same time as JO-DEKI!
For those who remember that song, they can imagine some real perkiness to it that was hiding a real tragic story underneath about possibly the state of the band and it's future!
It was a nice juxtaposition that lead to yet another ear worm among fans, and myself included! And not to mention all the cool callbacks to old MVs, too!
This song on the other hand is devoid of the visual references, devoid of the juxtaposition, and it just PURE SONG.
Even the MV just has the four doing their stuff surrounded by the void with their only light being a single spotlight:O
Though it IS a very big spotlight! So at least they have that going for them!
But it's a lot simpler than the craziness of before, but it makes up for that with how WILD the melody's become!
Seriously, What the fudge! This song is so good! It's catchy! It's evocative! There's some parts that just go like, "How'd they do that!? Was it magic!?"
Yes. It was the magic of Harushi:3
I'm no expert in translating, but as I was going about this song, it felt directed towards something or someone!
I kept fighting with myself on whether it was one or the other.
Could it be about a person? A person whose presence brings pain just based on their poisonous lifestyle? Are they not living their best life and it affects the speaker's ability to feel healthy in both mind and spirit?
Maybe they're a metaphorical villain that lives inside us all? Another side of oneself that drags us down and doesn't carpe the diem, so the only choice is to tell them to get OUT! (Hell, maybe it all ties in to the same feelings that were conveyed during JO-DEKI but under a different lens! That song was super happy, so this song can be just straight up with what it wants to say. "No BS" as the young kids say!)
Or maybe it's about the fact that I still can't get that darn coveted time share at Palm Springs:O
...No! No! Not that one!
Another thing that was really hard was directing the lines:O Who are they going towards? The speaker? The "YOU" they refer to?
The further I go along, the more I have to keep these things in mind, be more aware of them, know how to take apart the context and be like, "Ahh! I see it now!"
Either way, that's another attempt, and the memorization game will press on:O
BUT! That's gonna have to wait!
I have a new game to play, and one I've been waiting for since 2007!
Remember that year!? Lots of sunny days, and flip flop devices!
You could even hear them in your sleep!
*SLAM*

(LIKE ALWAYS, I took some liberties with my translation:O Some things may not be 1-1, but I hope the intent is still intact, cause if not, then I won't feel very free trying to fix it later:O)
In today's episode, our monster catching neglectful has a thief to catch to counter the fact that the train to Pseudo Kansai doesn't work anymore, meaning that no one's functioning how they should:O
Kinda like a person without carbs! (Unless they do ketones, but maaaaaan good luck with that one~)
More importantly, our beautiful plant we caught in the last part is hurt! They're surrounded by greatness but can't achieve the happy without a little bit of leafage stored in a very specific rock sold in a very specific place!
With the department store on the other side of the map, how are we gonna contribute to the betterment of Mother Nature now:OOO???
Why through luck, of course.
In today's episode, our monster catching neglectful heads east for strength to dominate the planet of Poke, but gets sleepy twice, and then sees a cool band redo one of their oldest songs, so I guess ruling the world's off the table...
FOR NOW!
What did we accomplish:O?
In today's episode, our monster catching neglectful, now the hero and best catcher of Pseudo Kansai does something, but the author went to work, so...
BELATED NEW YEARS!
I'm doing my lonely island thing this episode!
In the final episode of this stream series, our hero goes through the final gauntlet that separates him and victory over our recently acquired antagonist who'd eventually turn tail to be a hero in a completely different game...probably: A mislabled fear factor level complete with eyeballs that chase you, a sea made of webs, and even the mighty claw that's so secure, you can count on it to get you where you need to go unless you get electrocuted, which is ALWAYS possible in a world like this~
Either way, our hero ends up past all that, and into the nightmare platformer where one wrong move means he's gotta do it all again~! (IMAGINE! It's just like Tower of Anxiety again, but just a tad less masochistic!)
But it looks like the ride's not finished when Rocket literally rolls a ball right into the contraption, earning him the respect of everyone involved, up to and including the staff that are now forever drilled within the credits zone of this silly little experience.
Yowsers. How did I stay sane:O I want my fixed fantasy physics back~!
In today's episode, our hero is in the clouds exploring the same area inspired by the tales told from far far in the eastern lands long long ago!
The Arabian Nights! Where cool buildings, snakes, genies, and magic are commonplace! Now that's a world I need so I can take a carpet to work:D
We'd never see folks have a late day again~! It helps that the whole course is all about this little rug, and he plays so well! Especially compared to the nightmare glider on Volcano Panic Island that changed controls depending on your direction:O Can you say, "GUH-ROSSSS!!!"
This is a peaceful day! And I can say that's an awesome way to start the year!
Go 2025!!!
Seriously, you should buy some of the rice she has on sale:O It's a labor of love for mother earth, just like how this drawing is a labor of love for her and all she does:O She is GORGEOUS, and her ASMR Vid is like...heavenly, which makes sense!!!
Okay, I'm calmxD But she only started a few months ago, and I hope her farm grows as strong as the carrots slowly budding forth~!
Yum! I need some, too:O
BGM: Monster of the Forest - Children of Mana
