Hajimari to Owari no Uta (English Subbed) GetProphetic 2012-08-15 | Another wonderful song from Kikuo. Maybe not as dark as his usual ones...then again, considering how he's used the phrase "go into the world of dreams" in his songs before, maybe not.English title: Song of Beginning and EndingSong: KikuoSinger: MikuSubs: yours trulySorry the subs are a little off. Youtube was being a jerk and messed them up ;_;Anyway, enjoy! I own nothing except my own subs.
[初音ミク] *flowery fairy* (English Sub) GetProphetic 2013-04-25 | This song was a request by vatonix--sorry it took me so long! The translation was actually pretty simple but I had a Japanese friend make sure everything was accurate just in case. She doesn't have a youtube channel or anything like that or I would link you guys to it, but anyway I'm really grateful for her help! :)I hope you enjoy the song and video--please see translation notes below!title:*flowery fairy*music/lyrics: Don (どん)vocal: Hatsune Mikuvideo:KaYaIllustration: AOnico original: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15922203translation: meAs always, I own nothing except my own translation. Feel free to use it with credit! Thanks :)Translation notes:There's really not much to say about it, except I can anticipate a few comments about my use of the word "king" since the person in question looks rather feminine. To be honest I wasn't too sure what to do about that because the word used, 王, usually just means "king" and there were no gender-specific pronouns in the song. Although vgperson recently translated 王 as "majesty" in her translation of "Death Should Not Have Taken Thee," another song where the so-called king was a female character. "Majesty" just didn't sound right here though, so I went with the basic definition.
[初音ミク] Sincerely, Anonymous (某〇×△□より) (English Sub) GetProphetic 2013-03-29 | Another saiB song! I really like his style and even though the lyrics are pretty hard to make sense of, I hope the translation helps you enjoy the song more. According to saiB's original comments on the nico upload, the "you" in this song does not refer to a different person per se, but instead to the speaker's past self. (Specifically, the speaker as a child) To me this is a song about loss of innocence but of course it is open to interpretation.Please see translation notes below!title: 某〇×△□より (Sincerely, Anonymous)vocal: Hatsune Mikumusic: saiBvideo: saiBnico original: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9023529translation: meAs always, I own nothing except my own translation. Feel free to use it with credit! Thanks :)Translation notes:OK, so first about the title. 某 is pronounced "bou" and it basically means "unnamed person." 〇×△□ has no real meaning--it's like **** or a space filler when something is omitted. And より (yori) at the end is something like a letter closing; it generally means "from." So really the title translates straight as "From ***** Someone" but that just sounded awkward so I changed it around a little bit.Some things were very difficult to put into English tenses because there was no tense specified in the original. For example, the "afraid of hurting other people" bit had no tense but I figured that since the part before it was in past, then it made sense to do this one the same way.Please PM me if you have questions about my translation. Thanks! :)
[鏡音リン・レン] Coward Crossing (English Subs) GetProphetic 2013-03-28 | This was the first Nekomushi song I ever heard and I was surprised to see there's no translation up yet. I absolutely love Rin's strong voice here. Please see translation notes below because this was a very dense song and there's some stuff that didn't fully come through. Also please remember that this translation is not perfect and everything should be taken with a grain of salt. Thanks! title: 臆病踏切 (okubyou fumikiri) (Coward Crossing)vocal: Kagamine Rin/Lenmusic: NekomushiIllustration: Ette (Jimi)nico original: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17643924translation: meAs always, I own nothing except my own translation. Feel free to use it with credit! Thanks :)Translation notes:First of all, the title is a little bit confusing. I chose "coward crossing" because I thought it sounded the best but it could also be translated as "Cowardly Crossing," "Railroad Crossing of Cowardice," etc. "fumikiri" also has some other meanings, like "determination" and "starting line," but I figured since there's a railroad crossing in the actual picture it made more sense to go with that.The word I translated as "flaw" has a broader meaning of "hole." Basically Rin is not specifically talking about flaws, but just about missing parts of her that make her inadequate. But "flaw" sounded better so I went with that.Also, the "noise I no longer want to hear" is literally just "a noise I don't wish for anymore." But I think that "hear" flows a lot better since it's talking about a noise. Just keep in mind that it's probably not a literal noise; more like a distraction.There are a few other little things but I don't think they bear mentioning. Please PM me if you have any questions about my translation! :)
[Hatsune Miku] Raujika (English Sub) GetProphetic 2013-01-24 | According to the author's comments, this was the first time saiB wrote a "love song." I'd say he did pretty well for the first time, wouldn't you?This was a request from Delilah the arachnid :) It's been out for quite a while so I was surprised to see it didn't have a translation yet. The translation wasn't too tricky but the timing on the subs was absolute hell, and I had to use about three different programs in the end to get it to this point. I really wanted to keep the original timing of the video, but because of the different language structure things came out looking a little weird here and there. Sorry about that! I hope you can enjoy the video anyway :)title: Raujikavocal: Hatsune Mikumusic: saiBnico original:http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm16526758translation: meAs always, I own nothing except my own translation. Feel free to use it with credit! Thanks :)Translation notes:As far as I can tell, "Raujika" has no real meaning. This shouldn't be surprising coming from saiB though, I suppose.The idea of dying something can sometimes be a symbol for sex, especially if the color being used is red, but I really have no idea if that was what saiB was going for. Maybe I just have my mind in the gutter, haha.Also according to saiB he was trying to make a pop song but ended up putting guitar in because he "doesn't understand pop music at all." I'd beg to differ but either way I'm glad he ended up using guitar.
[初音ミク] We are friends, arent We? (English Sub) GetProphetic 2013-01-17 | I noticed people on nico commenting that this song's melody was beautiful, yet somehow unsettling at the same time. When you look at the lyrics, it's easy to see why. Still, I love the calm singing voice of Miku mixed with the frenetic background sounds--it's really an amazing song.title: We are friends, aren't We?vocal: Hatsune Mikumusic: Miyazawa Moyoyoillustration: Asagirinico original: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17642557translation: meThis song is available on iTunes! Just type "moyoyomiyazawa" in the search bar.As always I own nothing except my own translation.Feel free to use this translation with credit. Thank you!Scroll down for translation notes and my own interpretation of the song. :)Notes:First of all, if you look at the picture there are some interesting things about it. For one thing, the girl on the right is wearing what looks like a winter school uniform while the one on the left is wearing a summer outfit. So it's clear that they're not in the same time. On top of that, they're both holding stuffed rabbits but the girl on the left's rabbit is stained in red.It's also pretty clear that the girl on the right in standing on the roof of a building. But the walkway in front of her, in the direction that she's happily looking, is transparent, suggesting that it's not actually there. She sees that if she steps off the roof of the building, she'll be walking toward her friend but really that is all an illusion. That's just my take on the picture, however. It's open to interpretation just as the song itself is.As for the translation, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense in some parts but it was a fairly straightforward translation in most regards. One thing that was a bit difficult is that it never says "I" in the whole song. "We" is actually used but as for the other places where I used "I", there was actually no subject. Usually it's safe to assume that the speaker is the subject in these cases, so that's what I did. But keep in mind that technically the subject could be anybody.Also, the last line actually used the word "going" rather than "coming" but these concepts are a little different in Japanese. "Coming" is an action that can only take place in the sense of something moving toward yourself. So you can't say something like "I'm coming to meet you" in Japanese--it ends up as "I'm going to meet you." And since the line before this one was addressed to the friend, I figured the next line would be too. It's kind of complicated but basically I think it was suggesting that the other girl is already in "the next world" and that distinction would be lost if I kept it as "going." orz
[鏡音リン] 嫌なヲツカイ (The Disgusting Wotsukai) English Sub GetProphetic 2013-01-10 | Another Rin song! Thank you so much to DelilahtheSpider for suggesting it because otherwise there's no way I would even have known about this producer. I didn't translate "Wotsukai" because it just doesn't flow well, so if you're curious please see the translation notes below! Anyway I really love this song's chaotic and creepy style, and I hope you do too. Thanks for watching!music, lyrics, and arrangement: Roreruvocaloid: Kagamine Rin(no video credit was given in the original so I'm assuming it's also credited to Rorero. In any case it is not mine)translation: yours trulynico original: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm16562654As always, I own nothing except my translation. Feel free to use this translation with credit.Translation notes:"Wotsukai" doesn't translate as a single word because it begins with a particle, not a regular letter. In other words, Japanese words are never written with this "wo" in the beginning, or usually in the word at all. Basically "wo" is the particle you see between an action and a direct object that indicates that the action is being performed on that object (for example, "house wo refurnish"). In this case, "wo tsukai" would usually mean "Use the (something)". But since the only thing before "wo" is not a noun but an adjective, it doesn't make sense. Even so, I think it could reasonably be translated as "Use the disgusting" if you ignore the fact that there's no noun there. Since it's a character's name, though, I decided not to translate it this way and just to leave this note in the description. The word "iya," which I translated as disgusting, was also really hard to translate. In Japanese it has a variety of meanings, including "disagreeable," "hated," "unpleasant," or even "reluctant" and "no." Probably the most accurate translation is DO NOT WANT, but of course that doesn't flow any better. Haha.Sorry if the subs are hard to read in places. Please message me if you have suggestions about my translation! :)
初音ミク The Idiot who Raised his Middle Finger at the Center of the World (ENG sub) GetProphetic 2013-01-02 | Well, I tried. This was probably the hardest translation I've ever done because of all the bits and pieces that used really old kanji and the other parts that used no kanji at all. So the translation definitely is not perfect, but I hope it gives you somewhat of a better idea of what this awesome song is all about. If you have suggestions for the translation, please let me know! Translation notes below.Anyone is free to use these lyrics as long as you credit me. As always, all other credit goes to the original Nico producer. I own my translation, nothing else.Title：世界の中心で中指を立てた馬鹿者(Sekai no Chuushin de Nakayubi wo Tateta Bakamono) / The Idiot who Raised his Middle Finger at the Center of the WorldSinger：初音ミク(Hatsune Miku)Producer：ショミ(般P) / Shomi(Pan-P)original Nico upload: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17023715translation: GetPropheticTranslation notes: The "Dossena" bit is something I really don't understand, I looked it up online and all I found was pictures and info about some footballer. So I don't really understand the connection between that but if you have any ideas please let me know!The NOに has a double meaning--one being "although" (which is what Japanese speakers would probably hear if they were just listening to it) and the other meaning could either from "from NO" or "to NO." I wasn't really sure how to translate this part so I just went with the double meaning.The "Killer Killer" bit is pronounced as "Kira kira," which is used with the sun the the stars near the end of the song. So this is another double meaning, especially since the "kira" bit comes right after the word "killer" shows up.
【初音ミク♥】Mr.wonderboy【ENG Hardsub MMD-PV】 GetProphetic 2012-12-23 | This was a very old hardsub request from Brittany--sorry it took me so long! This TRANSLATION IS NOT MINE. There already was a really good translation up so I figured if I made my own it wouldn't be much different anyway. Anyway this translation belongs to wingarea, and here's a link to his/her channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/wingareaThe only thing I did was put the English translation to the MMD video someone reposted from nico. I really don't own anything here.But anyway, I think it really helps to have the English on this PV because it really helps explain some of Miku's expressions and things in the video.

Kudryavka 鏡音リン (English Sub) GetProphetic 2012-12-16 | The tragic story of Laika, the first animal in outer space. Miku's Laika song is much more famous than this one, but they're equally moving. In fact this is the first song that's actually made my cry while translating it. Sorry if the subs are hard to read--I have a lot of trouble with formatting. I would recommend watching in a bigger screen to read them better. Also sorry for the double text in one place, I don't know what happened there. I actually subbed this entire thing in Aegisub first, then attempted multiple times to actually put the subs in the video, but eventually just gave up and used VideoPad again. *sigh* I am going to keep working on learing Aegis though because that's what the really good youtube translators use.

夕暮れ蝉日記 (Diary of Evening Cicadas) (ENG SUB) GetProphetic 2012-10-05 | Sorry for all the downer subs lately. Really! For some reason I just really love sad vocaloid songs. But this one gets pretty intense, just to warn you.Translation notes below!song: Mafumafuvideo: △○□×Vocal: IAnico original: www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm18897678translation and subs: meI think this song is really genius in the way it uses the metaphor of the cicada, something with a very fleeting lifespan, to make a connection to the girl being bullied in the story. I did my best to make the subs sound good, but the style this song was in omitted a lot of particles and connectors so there are probably mistakes in the translation. If you have questions/suggestions, please PM me!Anyway, translation notes:The parts where the song uses "naite" are really interesting because although the meaning in this song is always "cry," it's like English in that it can mean to actually cry (sob) or it can mean "to cry out." In this case the kanji change with the different meanings, but the words sound the same, so it really helps with the comparison to the cicada.The part about the "empty husk" at the end is also referencing this comparison.As you might know, the sound of cicadas is often thought of as a bad sign, or kind of a harbinger of bad fortune to come.I think that's about it for now! Enjoy the song!As always, I own nothing except my own subs and translation.

I had actually never heard of the song before because it's quite obscure, but it's really gorgeous and it's a shame it doesn't have more views. I hope you enjoy it!If you're wondering why I didn't use the original art and video, that's because my video-ripping program was acting up again. I had to get a little creative, but I think it turned out OK. The subtitles were actually pretty straightforward this time, but I still might have made some mistakes so please let me know if you have questions about my translation!Oh, and another thing I did differently this time was adding the Japanese subtitles. I might keep doing this in the future or I might not, but I hope you enjoy seeing them up there along with the English!If you want romaji, please PM me and I'll put it in the description. Personally though, I kind of hate romaji (sorry!) because it just strips all the meaning out of the language. But if you want it so you can sing along or something, that's fine. Sorry, I guess that sounded kind of judgemental. (laugh)
せかいのはじまりのさいごのうた (Worlds End Song) (ENG SUB) GetProphetic 2012-09-08 | Major tearjerker warning. It's a beautiful song and video, though.This was a request from BlazeinTheMorningDew (thanks!) Sorry I'm doing these so out of order--this song just was stuck in my mind and there wasn't all that much to sub, so I did it before a lot of earlier requests. ;_; I can't help it, I'm a slave to my emotions.Translation notes below!song: せかいのはじまりのさいごのうた (Sekai no Hajimari no Saigo no Uta)Official English title: World's End Song (official) Literal English title: The Last Song of the Beginning of the Worldsong: Babuchansinger: Hatsune Mikuart: Asahirovideo: Junbeinico original: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17857735translation and subs: meAvailable on iTunes: iTune Store http://itunes.apple.com/album/hajimarinoowari/id523047170Translation notes:I don't think there are any major things I need to point out about the translation, but I'll write some notes anyway. Sometimes I had to change around word order a lot to make it sound good in English, and so things might be a little awkward here and there. As an interesting note, the "Now I want to close my eyes" part sounds almost exactly like "Now I'm all alone" because instead of the usual word for eye, "me", a different word, "hitomi" is used. It sounds a lot more like "hitori," meaning single or alone. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but it's very interesting.As always, please PM me if you have comments or questions about my translation.

GUMI - Masked bitcH (ENG SUB) GetProphetic 2012-09-07 | I absolutely love it when Giga-P works with Gumi's voice. The results are always amazing, no exceptions at all.

So it's like a game interface (like DDR with the arrows/hearts) where you're playing against Gumi.Also, in the very beginning, the scrolling text is supposed to be like song selections in a rhythm game. The first two are the names of previous songs by Giga-P, to be specific "Streamline Prism" and "Tetrodotoxin Synthesizer No. 2." I own nothing except my own translation and subs!

交感ノート (Notebook of Mutual Sympathy) (English Subbed) GetProphetic 2012-09-03 | Wow, this is one of those great songs that sounds pretty innocent but actually is a bit darker than you'd think. Me gusta. Translation notes are below, and otherwise enjoy the song!title: 交感ノート (Koukan Note)English title: Notebook of Mutual Sympathy)song: YMsinger: GUMInico original:http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15366375translation and subs: meTranslation notes: The words I translated as "exchange" can also mean "join" or "bring together" but since the title had the word "mutual" in it I went with exchange instead, especially because of the whole "sending letters" metaphor. Near the end, Gumi says "mon" which is a somewhat childish way of speaking. It's the line where she's saying something like "you're still unchanging, smiling" so it's like she's annoyed at him and pouting.And "note" can either be translated as a literal note, or as a notebook. This song kind of reminded me of Death Note, what with the demon and the notebook, so I went with the latter. If you have questions about the sub or think there are mistakes, please PM me!

ボクを忘れた空想紀行 (Journal of My Forgotten Fantasies) GetProphetic 2012-08-28 | Another lovely song from Kikuo. As always, Miku's voice is absolutely beautiful especially on the long, drawn-out notes.

Translation notes are below.title: ボクを忘れた空想紀行 (Boku wo Wasureta Kuusou Nikki)English title: Journal of My Forgotten Fantasiessong: Kikuosinger: Hatsune Mikuart: not mine, please PM me if you know who the artist is!translation and subs: mealbum: Kikuomikunico original: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm12105428Translation notes: The "miku miku" at the beginning doesn't really translate to anything, so I'm fairly sure Miku's just saying her own name. This would also make sense because the original art for the song was a picture of her.Also, the word "mikkuri" is used in several places instead of "hikkuri," which means to turn upside down. I'm 99% sure this is just a play on words, though, because a lot of the nico nico comments seemed to comment on it a lot and think it was really funny.Please PM me if you have suggestions for the subs! Thanks :)I own nothing except my own translation and subtitles!
夢のまにまに (At the Mercy of a Dream) English Subbed GetProphetic 2012-08-24 | Yet another situation where subs might not actually enhance your understanding of the song that much. But it is a song about a dream, after all, so maybe it doesn't have to make total sense. Enjoy!Title: 夢のまにまに (Yume no Manimani)English title: At the Marcy of a DreamSong by: PowaPowa-PMovie by: 84yentranslation and subs by: meTranslation notes:The actual line dealing with flowers mentions a specific unit of measurement that amounts to 3.75 grams. But since (as far as I know) it's not a measurement used in English, I just translated it more generally so it wouldn't sound as awkward. Also, the beginning word "crime" can also be translated as "sin."I got a little more creative with the subs this time, so I hope you like it!Here are the original Japanese lyrics:ねえ、きっと彼は罪を犯した不完全なままの言い訳を並べた彼の口を塞いだそう、言いそびれた言葉紡いだ君が言うことが全て嘘だったならこれから僕は ぎゅうぎゅう詰めの中に紛れ込んだ「それ」を探しだしますずっと醒めない夢を見てた負けて嬉し花一匁君は。。。僕が沈む前、吐いた息を白く染めた日に 刻みつけた朝が来る頃に泣いた君も蝶を追いかけていた僕が見ていた夢は僕が見ていた夢は君が見ていた夢だ君が言うことが全て本当ならこれから君は、からっぽな夢の中逃げ場の無い「それ」を捕まえるはずきっと「それ」を見つけられるはずきっと敵わない恋をした負けて嬉し花一匁ずっと。。。I own nothing except my own subs and translation!
Matsuri-Bayashi (Revision) (English Subbed) GetProphetic 2012-08-22 | Please read the description!Title: 祭囃子 (Revision) romaji: Matsuri-Bayashisong by: mayukosingers: Rin and Len KagamineEnglish title: Festival Band/ Festival Musicnico original: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm7968525translation and subs: meI own nothing except my own translation and subs!Welp, this one was really difficult to translate without a lyrics sheet and as a result there was a lot more guesswork involved in this translation than I was hoping for. But it should at least give you an idea of what the song is about,and most parts of it are accurate. If you have suggestions for improvements, please PM me!Notes:For those who don't know, "kitsune" means "fox." I chose not to translate this word because in this case, the kitsune isn't a regular fox; it's more like a spirit.Sorry about the awkward subtitle lengths--some really long, some really short. I did my best to make the subs accurate and to do that I had to mess around with word order, which made the subs get a little weird here and there. They should be readable, though.Also, I apologize for the low quality of the image and for the black bars on the side. Nicofox hasn't been working for me lately so I had to use a lower-quality video-ripping software.Anyway, I hope you enjoy the song :) And if you want a treat, go check out the original (non-revised) version of this song on nico. I stumbled across it while looking for this original video, and it's....rather unsettling. Here it is: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm7968513One last thing: if you look at Rin and Len's yukata, you'll see that they're worn with the right flap over the left. This is the way that corpses are traditionally dressed for burial in Japan--you would never wear a yukata or kimono this way. Just something to think about.

星くずの掃除婦 (English Subbed) GetProphetic 2012-08-16 | This one kind of reminds me of "Soshite Kimi wa Tsuki ni Natta." This is from Kikuo's first vocaloid album, Kikuomiku, which I HIGHLY recommend buying. It's one of the lesser-known songs on it, so I hope you enjoy it! It really is beautiful.Please watch in HD!English title: Cleaning Lady of Stardustromaji: Hoshikuzu no Soujifusong by: Kikuosinger: Hatsune Mikusubs: mepicture: found on google, let me know if you know the artist!I own nothing except my own subs.
