(Is it a coincidence the melody is circus music?) Listening to the whole album probably would have clarified story and motifs. Some translation trivia:2:01 - Literally, "If you keep cutting off your hands and fingers."1:56, 3:09 - There are at least three entities: boku (I), kimi (you), anata (You).0:59, etc. - I struggled with rendering "tei." The hiragana in isolation means at least 15 different things, but my best guess is that it's TadanoCo's usual wordplay for half of "teitei"...half-loftiness, half-prominence.

terry - What I Dreamed (僕が見た夢) zcatcracker 2013-08-26 | A stylish song for the night, covered by terry.This ended up being his last (solo) work on Nico Nico Douga, as he declared his retirement on March 3, 2012, shortly after this cover was uploaded.(But with "World Lampshade" uploaded Aug. 28th, 2013, he's apparently back.)Romaji Title: boku ga mita yumeVocals: terry (http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/11341776)Music & Words: (Kari)-P / （仮）PArt & Movie: Mujun (矛盾)Original Hatsune Miku song: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm13292706Reprinted from Nico Nico Douga: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17059497I've loved this cover since it was first posted. Also great song to play while driving on a night-time freeway.
GUMI - Summer Skies, With Us Under An Umbrella (夏の空と君の傘下で) zcatcracker 2013-08-23 | "A story of what was never said in the end.""sanka" (傘下) is written as "under an umbrella," but it also generally means one's affiliation or relation to someone else. So, the title can also be read as something like, "Summer skies, from being involved with you."Romaji Title: natsu no sora to kimi to sanka deMusic & Words: utmlArt: hieMastering: cheapReprinted from Nico Nico Douga: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21646208Summer rains never end well.
Kagamine Rin & Len - Kyun Koi (キュン♡コイ) zcatcracker 2013-08-14 | 100% sugary cuteness I had to translate unironically."kyun" is Japanese onomatopoeia for one's heart contracting into itself, usually because of something cute or endearing. The title could've been "Heart-Imploding Love" I suppose, but is that too far of a stretch?Music & Words: LettuceP (レタスP)Art & Video: 7:24Piano: GOTSOff-vocal: http://piapro.jp/p83pReprinted from Nico Nico Douga: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21439210(My hardsubbing is cheap, yeah.)

GUMI - Da Vincis Confession (ダヴィンチの告白) zcatcracker 2013-07-28 | "Are you a Mason?"The Vocaloid debut from 666, with tuning by a Mr. Yamaguchi. Apparently, the lyrics were originally in English, but I can't find it. I'm also not that well-informed about the Freemasons, so if viewers spot anything, do give a shout. Oh, but there's a clear one at 0:17 : In Eminenti was a Papal Bull banning Catholics from becoming Freemasons.(1:15 and 2:41 : Those are total guesses. KisamierofRuairi's sounds close enough.)作者様へ：曲を削除されたい場合は声をかけていいですよ！早速動きます。Romaji Title: Da Vinci no KokuhakuMusic & Words: 666http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/38133363twitter.com/666_illumiArt: Hebitsukai (へびつかい)http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=37332219Movie: Moyashi (もやし(★｀･ω･)ゞ)http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/12836772Vocal Adjustment: Mr.Yamaguchitwitter.com/666_YamaguchiOff-vocals: http://piapro.jp/illumi_666Reprinted from Nico Nico Douga: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21442972
TMDC & Nobunaga - 1925 (acoustic guitar ver.) zcatcracker 2013-07-22 | This may be blasphemous, but I hadn't actually given the lyrics for 1925 a close look until recently. Other translations that I could find missed some of the punniness, so here's my take. While I'm at it, here's a mash-up duet of TMDC and Nobunaga, featuring Yuzuki Riyu's acoustic guitar arrangement.Singers (w/ links to their solo covers):Nobunaga (のぶなが)http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm13216210TMDChttp://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm13287829Art: Hakucha (白茶)Acoustic guitar arrangement: Yuzuki Riyuhttp://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/20670022http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm13738606Original song "1925" by T-POCKET:http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm8430328Mix: Gou* (豪*)Reprinted from Nico Nico Douga: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm13294974
