Beautiful: The Carole King Musical



I thought for a long while about how I should write about this and in the end decided that I will just focus on my thoughts and observations without delving into the details of the actual story of the musical. This is mainly because  the plot is readily available in the musical's [wikipedia] and I dunno,  I'd like to believe we will be getting a BD/DVD release of it eventually (maybe with MUSEUM III?) and you can then see it for yourself.

Regarding S.C. NANA NET Fan Club Event VII


Considering I have a decent track record of attending all Nana-centric events, figured I should write a short informative post about the fast approaching S.C. NANA NET Fan Club Event Ⅶ.

NANA MIZUKI LIVE ZIPANGU 2017 千秋楽 at Saitama!


Finally my last report is here! It's a bit bare boned as I poured all my love to the first Saitama night. You'll get to see this one for yourself on the BD/DVD real soon anyway, so maybe it's fine. Right? :3 Now that I have LIVE ZIPANGU out of the way, I'll probably write about Beautiful next. Maybe.

NANA MIZUKI LIVE ZIPANGU 2017 13本目 at Saitama!


I only took 2 weeks for this report! Whoaaaa! Such an improvement from the usual. Then again, this was my favorite from all the LIVE ZIPANGU concerts I went to and once you read the report you'll know why. It felt really special for a handful of reasons and I am really glad I got to experience it. This night really made ZIPANGU become one of my favorite lives so far.

NANA MIZUKI LIVE ZIPANGU 2017 11本目 at Niigata!


So half a year later I finally manage to squeeze out my first (FIRST! orz) LIVE ZIPANGU report. It has been hard juggling work, the desire to change some stuff in my life and a torn muscle in my right armpit. I'll probably keep the next reports a bit shorter and focus on the most interesting stuff, so hopefully that will streamline the process a bit. Well, onwards!

熱情のマリア -Translation-


As promised, it is time to tackle the request from pipio and ℓoro - Netsujou no Maria.

Over the course of translating Nana songs, I have come to realize that one of my favorite things is when the song challenges me to think about much more than what is explicitly said in it. It's like solving a mystery - the mystery of what she was thinking of and what she wanted to convey when she wrote that particular song. To my joy, Netsujou no Maria (=Maria of Passion) provided me with  plenty of these, encouraging me to understand it.

BLUE -Translation-

宇宙戦艦ヤマト2199 追憶の航海

I am finally back from my long lyric translation hiatus! 

My quality checker had a lot of wonderful things keeping him busy and I didn't want to publish something that might come across as not fully thought through, so it ended up being a while. I'll be working through some of my backlog now (yes, I haven't  forgotten any of the translation wishes I have received... I hope), starting with the request from Vincent Vincent way back when Nana sang BLUE in LIVE THEATER (yikes, it really has been a while I am so sorry orz).
