i said this on our twitter but i could go on an entire essay-length rant about how the instrument choices for kurapika's 2011 character theme (hi ni moeru hitomi) are absolutely genius
the gentle intro of the piano broken by the pipe organ and electric guitar, the way the different instruments all flow together like a dance, the lighter string instruments during the chorus. everything about it rahgrgahgshrghdngagshggah

Eyes Burning Scarlet (Hi ni Moeru Hitomi)
Within me pride and sorrow coexist
At departure and meeting’s interstice
And yet as time flows, simply and surely,
The errors of my past are repeated regardless
In soundless whispers I can hear them speak
The cries of ancestors preceding me
Those silent echoes, reverberating,
Like a flower holding its breath they are suspended softly
History is full of dark and light
Inheriting their will I am the only one who sees the sight
Gazes filled with fire, intensely hot desire hardens my resolve
Turn scarlet, bright scarlet, red eyes burning with my passion
The proof of our suffering; may it never be erased from this world!
Containing my rage, these scarlet eyes;
Allow them to house my solemn oath
Faint souls entrapped in hopeless agony
Betray their regrets as they’re scattering
Let us stand with them, honour their memory,
And pray their dignity can shine on, radiantly
Emotion recessed deep within my mind
Cannot suppress the enemy’s designs
Almost within reach, yet outside my grasp,
I’m drawing closer yet returning like a ripple in a pond’s glass
Sinners of this world, they alone
Are shackled by the wicked crimes for which they can never atone
Inlaid in my chest, determination crests to slice my heartstrings
Turn scarlet, bright scarlet, red eyes burning with my passion
I pray to have strength to never once avert my eyes from the sight!
Containing this prayer, these scarlet eyes;
Allow them to persist, eternal
Scattered in this world these eyes innumerable;
Tangled in a spider’s sickly thread
If I must weave destiny, to preserve life’s sanctity then,
The limits that confine my strength, I’ll surpass them all
Smoldering, igniting, aflame my eyes are a pyre!
Never fade, never fade, undying vengeful desire!
Turn scarlet, bright scarlet, red eyes burning with my passion
The proof of our suffering; may it never be erased from this world!
Containing my rage, these scarlet eyes;
Allow them to house my solemn oath!

hmm, those aren't the lyrics for feather hearthache bestie
also, I need some help identifying this character based from his description, do you know who this is?
"An idol whose late-father was also an idol, and who wants to shine with his own brilliance. Outside his sunny, simple-minded disposition, Subaru's also very passionate. He adores anything that sparkles. With a singing voice that shines, his performances are bursting with energy.
A member of Starmaker Production's Trickstar."

Eyes Burning Scarlet (Hi ni Moeru Hitomi): Lyricist's Notes
This is my first time writing full translyrics for a song and posting them online. It’s totally new for me, and although I am still a novice I wanted to try this because Kurapika is my favorite character in HxH and I was shocked that his character song doesn’t have English translyrics yet. I wanted to give this a shot, with the thought of maintaining the noble red color of the song in mind.
What I found most difficult to maintain was the sense of conjugation in the chorus. For example, in the first chorus the last phrase ends in the volitional form. However, my translation resembles the causative form in Japanese. Since I had to work around syllable counts for the translyrics I relied on Kurapika’s characterization to inform the lyrics when I couldn’t maintain fidelity. Here, I passed the “volition” from Kurapika to his ancestors, since they are the driving force of his resolve throughout the series. Other than that, the other specific thing I struggled with was translating the iconic “Akaku” from the chorus. The meaning is quite clear (it’s simply “red”) but the English word does not lend itself to those three repeated beats. I toyed with the idea of using other red words (“vermillion” works exceptionally well) but in the end I didn’t want to betray the symbolism of scarlet for Kurapika’s character.
I’d like to give my gratitude to the og translator willeke4439 on live journal, without their accurate and clear translations that served as my basis this long process would’ve become even longer ^^;
