恋想花火 (Fireworks of Romantic Feelings) -Translation-

I know this is a summer song, but I've been really wanting to translate it as it is one of my top favorites from Nana ever so don't judge me for doing so in the middle of winter lol. Before I dive in though I'd like to mention that the title itself contains a made up word, 恋想 (=rensou), in it so there isn't really a "correct" translation for it and I went for what seemed to be close to the intended meaning. The two kanji there mean 恋 "love/yearning" and 想 "idea/thought". And then for the song itself - QC by Chinatsu as always!

NANA MIZUKI LIVE ISLAND 2018 Wave 01 in Miyagi

Happy Holidays everyone! Figured I'd squeeze a report out as an Xmas present for you all so here it is! I have one more LIVE ISLAND report in the pipeline after this (I went to three, but for personal reasons I am skipping the report on one. I am sorry everyone! Please look forward to the final in Met Life Dome at least) and a lot of various other events I'm planning to cover (such as KING SUPER LIVE 2018, Pop Cast Epic, TGS stage event and Persona 5 shenanigans..), but hopefully those should be pretty quick to write up. Or I am being overly optimistic. We'll see!

NANA MIZUKI LIVE PARK 2016

Koshien iku yooo!

So once again, as has become my habit, here is my LIVE PARK report months after it actually happened. Maybe next year I can do better? One can only keep hoping! On the bright side, I am proud to still be done with this a couple of months before the BD/DVD release... so from that perspective I at least didn't do as bad a job as I did with LIVE GALAXY! That has to be progress... right, RIGHT??? (T^T)

Thoughts on「 恋想花火」

I have the LIVE GALAXY reports under works, but I have been once again delayed by various things like getting a new laptop (old one pretty much died and the migration process was... painful to say the least orz) and then I have some done excessive country hopping (3 different countries this week, wohoo). But they are coming up slowly, but surely!

I wanted to take a little break from those, however, to talk a little about 恋想花火, which is the third song in the upcoming single STARTING NOW. I've found myself truly captivated by it recently after hearing it on M no Sekai.
