Red Breeze -Translation-

 

Before diving into the new songs in the ADRENALIZED single, I am taking a moment to translate a couple of my dear QC Chinatsu's favorite songs - namely Red Breeze and glitch! 

QC credits here go to her of course as well.

DNA -Dance 'n' Amuse- -Translation-

 

I was really itching to do the translation for DNA -Dance 'n' Amuse- since it's without any doubt my favorite song from DELIGHTED REVIVER and is living constantly rent free in my mind. So thank you for making it come 2nd in my translation poll a while back and giving me a legit excuse to dig into it! 

It's pretty different from other Nana songs with even a bit of a Latin vibe to it, which definitely played a part in reeling me in so hard since I've always been a fan of Shakira as well and as her songs are typically very sensual I kind of got possessed into make the translation for DNA -Dance 'n' Amuse- as sexy as I possibly could.

NANA MIZUKI LIVE HOME 2022 Road 10 at Aichi

Kept you waiting, huh? And here it is, my last LIVE HOME report! Sorry that I returned to my usual tardy self for this last one, even though I managed to pump out all the ones before it in a pretty timely manner.... work has just been really hectic for the past month or so and I had no energy to spare. ^^;; Anyways, hope you've been enjoying the journey with me, because what a ride it's been!

NANA MIZUKI LIVE HOME 2022 Road 09 at Aichi

Looks like I am back on my bullshit aka tardy with reports! Sorry about that! Been pretty busy with work the past few weeks so I had to put all of this in the backburner for a bit. But here I am with a report again and only one more to go after!

Sooooooo..... here's another concert I wasn't supposed to attend. ^^;; We were planning to just go to the final, but then the itch to go on the first Nagoya night as well grew and grew since we'd already be in town anyway... and yep, the rest is history. And with that I gained one more extra report to write lol. xD

Probably will be keeping this one kind of short since 99% of it is just a rinse and repeat of songs I've already written about in previous reports.

ストラトスフィア (Stratosphere) -Translation-

Unexpectedly (to me anyway) Stratosphere scored the most points in my recent translation poll on Twitter so here it is! I have to say that before I got to translating I hadn't realized how terribly sad this song actually is. I mean, it also is imbued with hope, but yeah, also still very sad too.

I'm sure this will be felt deeply by everyone who has been hit hardest by Covid and lost people they care about; for me as well it makes my heart ache for all the time I have lost with the those dear to me due to essentially being stuck in Japan these past few years, such as with my parents who aren't getting any younger - I'd be lying if I said I wasn't terrified of facing the truth of how time has chipped away at them when I finally can visit again.

QC shoutout goes once again to Chinatsu. \o/

NANA MIZUKI LIVE HOME 2022 Road 06 at Saitama

Was kinda worried if I would be able to finish both Saitama reports before it was time for Nagoya.... and somehow I did! Go me! Though, I can't believe we are already nearing the end of LIVE HOME.... I do hope we get some news about the next live we can look forward to during this weekend's final and I hope even more that by that time Japan will have realized that letting people enter the country will be more beneficial to the economy than trying to force young folks to drink more alcohol... <.<;; 

Anyway, let's get on with the report!

NANA MIZUKI LIVE HOME 2022 Road 05 at Saitama

Back with the first of two Saitama reports! I thought I could dish this one out even a bit faster thanks to taking a couple of days off for Obon, but somehow I have been just very sleepy all the time. Hard to say if it's because of work or my body not being used to running to concerts almost every weekend anymore. In any case, I've had to take some time to recharge as well.

Anyways, onwards to the report!

NANA MIZUKI LIVE HOME 2022 Road 04 at Ibaraki

Congrats on conquering all 47 prefectures Nana!!

As I mentioned in my previous report, I didn't actually have plans to attend an Ibaraki live.... but here we are! I had to correct my oversight when I realized Ibaraki would mark the end of Nana's goal to have a live in all of Japan's 47 prefectures. Also fittingly for the LIVE HOME theme, we made a road trip out of it and it ended up actually being the first time we drove in Japan so far! It was a lot of fun! Again, since no live pics are available yet, I'll be seasoning the post with some random road trip pics for you to enjoy.

Also as part of my updated report style, I'm going to start color coding the songs that appeared for the first time in the rotation for each concert I attend this tour, so you'll know with a glance which parts of the report might be the most different from previous one I already wrote.

NANA MIZUKI LIVE HOME 2022 Road 01 at Hyogo

Starting my marathon of LIVE HOME reports with the very first one in Hyogo! I already mentioned this on my Twitter as well, but my heart goes out to all of you who still could not enter Japan to attend the tour due to the frustrating entry restrictions. I'm really sorry you could not be here even now to start healing from the past few years by filling your heart with the things you love again. I truly hope next time you will be able to be here once more. When the time comes I'd like to meet more of you and make plenty of fun memories together to make up for all bad times! Stay safe and keep taking care of yourself till then <3 

In the meanwhile, I'm doing my best to attend quite a few lives this tour, so you can at least have plenty of reports, if nothing else.
