"The Servant of Evil" Şarkısının 15. Yıldönümü anısına!

For the 15th Anniversary of "The Servant of Evil" song!

Is anyone know where i could get raw versions of Aku no kko comics? I would like to translate them later on.

[kiseki-no-robotto-translations]

Me everytime when i listen to Story of Evil Series, i feel like my 14 year old self again.

I’m rewatching some vocaloid stuff.. I feel like I’m 14 again uwu

[beneaththetangles]

Anyone else feel that heat? No, that’s not the dog days of summer—they’ve come to an end. That’s romance you’re feeling! A host of new releases put love at the front and center, including volumes of The Ice Guy and the Cool Girl and Gazing at the Star Next Door, while others like My Girlfriend’s Child and Kusunoki’s Flunking Her High School Glow-Up point toward romantic relationships while focusing on other topics. Oh, and there’s still plenty of fantasy in the mix in this week’s releases as well. Check out our reviews and let us know what you’re reading these days!

Moon Walkers - romaji & Eng translation

Artist: VΔLZ Original lyrics: buzzG Translation and romanization by Snowdust64

=====

Formatting is as follows: - Mostly a line-for-line translation, but the grammar didn’t always work out. - As usual, implied pronouns are in brackets with my best guesses. - Text from the original lyrics that was already in English is denoted in bold. - Text that was changed from katakana to English is denoted in ALL CAPS. I did this to make certain words more readable.

Additional translation notes at the end.

fuyū suru Adamusukī-gata   ayashiku yurayura   toritsukareteru seidō o sorenai no ga BETTER   saredo michi o eranda

Floating and Adamski-shaped, suspiciously swaying, [I’m] intrigued It would be better not to stray from the correct path, but [I] still chose the unknown

iro chigai no mitsu no hoshi ga Overlap daitan futeki ni uchū de kappo deka sugiru mashō no hishō-tai o oikakeru nara kimi to janakya iyada yo

Three stars of different colors overlap Striding fearlessly through space To chase after that gigantic, diabolical flying object [I] don’t want to if it’s not with you

tsuki ni tatte kakero   bokura ryūsei hiai mo ayau-sa mo utau yō ni kimi ga ima tonari de odoridasu kara kikareau STEP ga hibiite   MOON WALKERS

Standing on the moon, let’s run, we shooting stars As if singing of sorrow and danger Because you’ll dance alongside [me] now, The attracting steps will resonate    Moon walkers

azawarau Adamusukī   sugoshi teru   mata mui ni takitsukerarete michi ikusaki wa kemono michi ga hora   saredo if no mukō e

Ridiculed Adamski    Passing the time, and once again in vain Ignited * Even to unknown destinations, there are paths made by the wild **   But, beyond the "if"

moshimo bokura deawanakereba Fiction kōshisōniku no kabane ni natte kami mo akuma mo mihanashi tadarō monogatari wa kimi ga inakya dameda yo

If there was a fiction where we never met [I] would become a useless walking corpse *** Surely abandoned by both gods and demons If you’re not in it, the story is no good

toki o ima   tomete   kodō no bīto de zen mo aku mo nai mujō no banka o kanadetara tonari de hohoemu kara   koō suru kiseki no yoru ni It's showtime

Stop time at this moment, and with the beat of your heart If [you’ll] play an elegy for the ephemeral that is neither good nor evil I'll smile alongside you    On this miraculous night that resonates It’s showtime

matataku inochi to tsuki no WALTZ o odorō kimyō na hikari ni te o nobasu tabi no tsudzuki o

Let’s dance a waltz of this dazzling life and of the moon Continuing on a journey of reaching out toward that cryptic light

dareka o omou kara koso no minikusa to magai mono da to omoishitta zetsubō to kore wa dare no sei?   rin'ne   kakeru tsugi no sei?  kudaranai   kimi inai   asu ni imi wa nai zenbu kakaete hikatte ikō ze

The ugliness that comes from thinking of someone And the despair in realizing that it’s fake Whose fault is this? Reincarnation, the next life [I'll] bet on? How pointless    Without you, tomorrow holds no meaning Let's embrace it all and shine on

tsuki ni tatte kakero   bokura ryūsei namida mo mayoi mo kasumu SPEED de kakenukete   inochi-goto moetsukitemo zutto zutto hibiite   odori tsudzukete MOON WALKERS

Standing on the moon, let’s run, we shooting stars At a speed fast enough to blur out both tears and hesitation Running onward    Even if it burns up [our] lives [We’ll] resonate for ever and ever, continuing to dance Moon walkers

===== Translation notes =====

*  ‘takitsukerarete’ – ‘to be set on fire.’ As a metaphor, it means ‘to be provoked,’ like when something suddenly rouses you to action. Can be in a negative or a positive way.

**  ‘kemono michi’ – Literally, 'animal path,' referring to natural paths through the wilderness that are made by animals passing through. They may be crude and wandering, but they are paths nonetheless.

***  ‘kōshisōniku’ – A phrase adopted from Chinese that means a moving body without thought or soul; in English, what we might call a walking corpse. In Japanese the meaning has evolved a bit, and now is used to describe a useless/worthless person. (In this line of the lyrics, the word for ‘corpse’ appears separately, so it ended up in my translation anyway.)

In exploring what "Adamski" was referring to, I found two possibilities:

1. George Adamski, a controversial writer and speaker who claimed to have seen hundreds of UFOs in his lifetime, as well as befriended aliens and traveled aboard their spaceships.

2. The Adamski effect, a photo-editing technique named after Josh Adamski, featuring heavy motion blur of the background while sparing the people/objects of attention in the image.

Based on the rest of the lyrics, I would favor the first option, but a simple search of just "Adamski" turned up more results for the second, so I didn't want to discount it.

Arashi dan Aku

Tulisanku kali ini adalah salah satu cerita behind the scene. Artinya, cerita di balik layar yang...well, mungkin belum banyak orang tahu. Aku pengen banget bagikan cerita ini karena harus ada lebih banyak orang lagi yang tahu betapa awesome idolaku ini!

Aku bahkan nggak kenal mereka secara personal, tetapi lima orang ini sudah menyelamatkan hidupku. Literally.

Aku kenal om-om ini sejak SMA. Pada semester kedua kelas X, ada guru bahasa Indonesia memutarkan satu dorama (istilah drama dalam jejepangan) berjudul Yamada Taro Monogatari di kelasku. Tokoh utamanya adalah dua personel Arashi, Sakurai Sho dan Kazunari Ninomiya. Lagu opening nya saat itu adalah Happiness by Arashi. Doramanya seru banget dan jujur aku cukup hooked up sama tokoh Mimura Takuya yang diperankan Sho. Aku minta semua file episode doramanya ke guruku tersebut dan memutuskan akan menontonnya saat liburan.

Dan yes, karena menghabiskan waktu nonton Yamada Taro Monogatari saat perpulangan asrama, aku mulai suka sama Arashi. Aku jadi kenal member selain Sho dan Nino: Ohno Satoshi (Oh-chan / Riida), Aiba Masaki (Aiba-chan), dan Matsumoto Jun (MatsuJun).

Like, sukaaaa banget!

Aku menemukan video profil perjalanan mereka di YouTube waktu mencari tahu tentang mereka. Menonton video tersebut membuatku makin kesengsem sama om-om ini. They. Are. Cool. Meski debut besar-besaran di Hawaii pada 1999 dan sempat sukses, album dan konser mereka sempat flop banget di era Pikanchi, to the point susah cari penonton buat konser mereka di Yokohama. Nama mereka baru naik lagi setelah MatsuJun ambil role sebagai Domyouji Tsukasa dalam dorama Hana Yori Dango (mungkin kalian pernah nonton dorama ini). Itu pun MatsuJun sengaja ambil role tersebut buat menaikkan nama Arashi. Dalam Secret Talk di single Wish yang jadi original soundtrack dramanya MatsuJun, member Arashi bahkan roasting dengan berterima kasih sama MatsuJun.

Kurang lebih verbatimnya gini, "Makasih ya, MatsuJun. Doramamu bikin member Arashi jadi ada kerjaan,".

Ish, sedih kalau ingat masa itu :")

Kalau dibandingin, mungkin kurang lebih sama kayak sensasi BTS di Korea Selatan, dari awalnya flop akhirnya sukses besar. Bedanya, pasar musik mereka fokus sama Jepang doang.

...

So, untuk menceritakan lebih lanjut bagaimana aku bisa suka banget sama Arashi, aku akan mulai dari masa-masa sulitku di SMA. Karena untuk alasan itulah aku menulis bahwa they saved my life.

Aku punya ketakutan waktu dapat jatah piket asrama dan sekolah. Piket apapun. Aku takut kalau ketahuan ada satu spot yang masih nggak bersih, dimaki-maki, dan disuruh mengulang. Aku nggak keberatan sih sebenarnya buat mengulang, tapi harusnya...minus makiannya nggak, sih?

"Percuma kamu pintar di sekolah kalau ngerjain pekerjaan rumah aja nggak bisa! Jadi istri macam apa kamu nanti?".

Yah, kurang lebih begitu.

Itu masih masalah piket. Aku juga dipermasalahkan karena dianggap "juggling" dua cowok di saat bersamaan. Padahal, dua orang cowok ini sahabatku semua dan we were so inseparable.

Aku juga kehilangan ruang privasi. Sejak orang tahu apa yang kutulis dalam diari, diariku sering dicari dan dibuka. Setelah itu, yep, they used my own words against me.

Dan sebenarnya masih ada lain-lainnya. But, let's close it here.

Honestly, mentalku jatuh banget. Terutama pada tahun pertama dan kedua, kayaknya nggak ada hari tanpa nangis dan isolated. Aku sampai sekarang bahkan nggak tahu kenapa masih hidup aja diriku ini.

Karena orang yang pernah bully aku at some points mengalami hal yang sama persis kayak yang kualami. Dan dia hampir "lewat" setelah...well, you know.

Dalam masa-masa sulit itulah aku menemukan Arashi. Aku lupa apa persisnya lagu pertama yang kudengar dari mereka. Namun, aku masih ingat lagu-lagu pertama yang kumasukkan ke dalam playlist: Fight Song, Sakura Sake, Pikanchi Double, A.Ra.Shi, Kitto Daijoubu, Kotoba Yori Taisetsuna Mono, Nice na Kokoroiki, dan Hadashi no Mirai.

Dan aku juga masih ingat gimana perasaanku waktu mendengarkan lagu mereka.

Iya, aku nangis waktu dengernya! Tapi, kali ini bukan karena sedih. Aku nangis karena merasa menemukan harapan buat melanjutkan hidup. Aku nangis karena ingat aku masih muda banget, sayang kalau stuck di sini aja. Aku ngerasa seperti ada orang-orang yang duduk di sebelahku, pukpuk bahuku, dan bilang, "Kamu nggak sendirian. Kamu nggak akan pernah sendirian,".

Aku ingat pernah sedih banget karena suatu hal. Kemudian, aku dengerin lagu Fight Song, lupa sih ini di sekolah atau di asrama. Waktu sampai di lirik ini:

Hito wa hito jibun wa jibun (Orang lain ya orang lain, kamu ya kamu) Kurabeta jiten de maketeru (Kamu udah kalah begitu bandingin dirimu sama orang lain) Jibun ni makenai tsuyosa ga (Semangatmu untuk nggak pernah kalah sama diri sendiri) Donna kabe wo mo kowashiteku (Bakal meruntuhkan halangan apapun di depanmu)

Aku langsung nangis sejadi-jadinya.

Dan aku masih nangis kok sampai sekarang kalau dengerin bagian lirik itu, haha.

Lima om-om random ini memberiku hidup yang baru lewat lagu-lagu mereka. Hidup yang sepenuhnya milik diriku sendiri. Hidup yang gimana pun sucks-nya bakal tetap kunikmati.

Aku ingat ada tiga orang pelaku bully yang udah minta maaf langsung kepadaku. Dua orang di antara mereka pernah bertanya begini:

"Kok kamu bisa sih kuat banget, Nis?".

Aku nggak bisa jawab dengan proper pada saat itu. Namun, kalau diijinkan menjawab sekarang, aku akan menunjuk Arashi. It's all thanks to them. Lagu-lagu mereka bikin aku mau melanjutkan hidup. Lagu-lagu mereka bikin aku mau buat berjuang, meski rasanya tuh pengen memaki shibal setiap saat ya, haha.

Asli, aku akui banyak boyband yang secara visual, vokal, dan koreografinya jauh lebih baik dari Arashi. Secara standar hiburan, apalagi kalau merujuk Korea, mereka ga cakep-cakep amat.

Namun, apa yang bikin mereka juara buatku adalah liriknya yang menyentuh hati orang lain.

Lirik-lirik sederhana itulah yang menyelamatkan hidupku.

some sentiments about Tamamori Yuta's acting journey - part 1

*💛 : drama main role || 💛💛 : movie main role

Gokusen 3 SP & Gokusen The Movie (2009) - as Takasugi Reita

It's the first time I saw Tamamori Yuta~! I started watching Gokusen series from Gokusen 2 then when I saw Tama, I'm not exactly sure what was it, there's something adorable about him that stuck on me. I got interested in him and searched more about him, found that he is one of Kis-My-Ft2 members, one of Johnny's junior groups that hadn't officially debuted yet. I already knew Kat-tun at that time, Kisumai got me interested for a while before some things in life put me away from internet world.

Support roles in Shiawase ni Narou yo (2011), Saikou no Jinsei no Owarikata (2012), Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou The Movie (2012), Zeni no Sensou (2015)

I watched all his small roles after I watched his big/bigger roles~ I actually skipped almost everything except his parts (gomen) >_<

Ikemen desu ne (2011) as Katsuragi Ren 💛

Tama's first main role in drama!! I've watched the Korean drama they adapted long years ago (maybe soon after it aired at that time) but I watched this Japanese adaptation after I'm interested in Tama again (will mention this later on the drama that made me into him). Maybe because I watched this 10 years later, I cringed so hard ; x ; ugyah- I enjoyed the Korean one (story pretty much the same in adaptation) when I was much younger but not anymore? 😅 I even have the pig-rabbit doll from this drama that I bought soon after I watched the original long years ago haha~ The only reason I watched this whole (cringey) drama was because Tama, of course. Somehow he matched his role pretty well. First main role (and his real main job is idol) which not bad, pretty good for his career.

Ataru (2012) as Ebina Sho

Tama-chan acting with Nakai-san!! Tama's supporting role here was good and I enjoyed watching this drama, it's pretty nice and exciting~

Nobunaga no Chef (2013) & Nobunaga no Chef Season 2 (2014) as Ken 💛

Tama's main role for 2 seasons drama!! French chef travels to the Sengoku period (time-slip), eventually becomes the chef of Nobunaga Oda. It was pretty nice drama to watch. Tama got his main role here after the director (iirc) watched his (really) hard work on variety show, and he did it pretty well.

Pin to Kona (2013) as Kawamura Kyonosuke 💛

I like Tama's main role here~! His character is adorable and kind, he did well and I enjoyed watching this drama~ I'm not fond of main female character here but kabuki world as setting is quite interesting.

Yonimo Kimyou na Monogatari 2014 Spring Special - Neet na Kare to Cute na Kanojo, Honto ni Atta Kowai Hanashi 2015 Summer Special - Doko Made mo Tsuitekuru, Yonimo Kimyou na Monogatari 2019 Rain Special - Sakasama Shoujo no Tame no Piano Sonata (one of main roles in special dramas)

from these 3 drama specials I like Sakasama Shoujo no Tame no Piano Sonata the most, simply because Tama as pianist~! 笑 It's the most interesting from all 3 too. Neet na Kare to Cute na Kanojo is the kind of story I'm not interested to watch, it's okay~ I tend to avoid horror story but since it's Tama, I watched Doko Made mo Tsuitekuru with anxious heart ;_; (it's scarier since it based on true story?)

Seishun Tantei Haruya: Otona no Aku wo Yurusanai! (2015) as Asagi Haruya 💛

didn't enjoy watching this drama, watched it only because Tama's there ;_; one of his (drama) friends there becomes his good friend in real life, lovely~

Raintree no Kuni (2015) as Sakisaka Nobuyuki 💛💛

Tama's first main role in movie!! It's pretty okay~ not the kind of romance I enjoy though. Tama worked hard learning kansai dialect here, he did pretty nice in this movie.

Reverse (2017) as Asami Kosuke

THIS. When I first watched this (was it 2021?) I just finished watching one drama with Tama in it that made me interested in him again. I started watching this before checking casts, I used to see good reviews about this drama and finally watched it after several years. I was surprised to see Tama in this drama, first he looks different!! and then his acting here, I really enjoyed watching him~! his character gave me various feelings and Tama did very well. Heard that he really learned about acting from the director here and it improved him, like a turning point. I really wish Tama gets more chances to do grey/darker roles ; ;

Juuyou Sankounin Tantei (2017) as Maneki Kei 💛

Tama's acting improves gradually year by year but it's more apparent starting from 2017 (reverse drama). Actually I didn't really enjoy this drama, I also not fond of main female character here (again ; ;), but visuals, good~ When watching 2017's dramas of Tama I realized that his acting style is the type of acting I like a lot (the most), subtle and profound acting.

Parallel World Love Story (2019) as Tsuruga Takashi 💛💛

great actors and actress, adapted from a novel by popular mystery author, Higashino Keigo, I feel like this movie can be much more but okay, it still impactful personally because it's Tama's first bed scene >///< really, Tama is great in more complex/darker roles. Tama in this movie is very different with real him, and he did it very well.

--continue to part 2--
