符號化せられたる旋轉の内なる暗號は、悟る爲に設けられたり、
核となる心の働きぞ、我等が領ける國に於ける唯一の限りなり、
散り亂れたりながらも彩やかなる、位相的なる外側の夢の眺め、
有らゆる段階の動きを變化せしむるに能ふ可し。
先天的にして亞分子的なる、此れ等有らゆる物の質、
有らゆる形は物質主義によりて覆ひ隱されたる形の無さなればなり。

core psychic functions, the only limit within our domain:
the diffuse, yet still vivid, topological outer dreamscape,
capable of transformation upon all levels of animation,
innate & submolecular, the quality of all these things;
for all form is formlessness disguised by materialism.

First of all, I just want to tell thank for your hard work. You've done an amazing job for the English community with your translations. My enjoyment of GBF's songs would not be nearly as great if it wasn't for the fact that I'm actually able to understand what the singer is actually singing and what the lyrics actually mean.
2nd, if it isn't too much trouble for you could you add Cloudy World the original song from Stella Magna's album to your translation backlog because it's the only Granblue related song that has sung lyrics that I haven't been able to find any lyrics for at all not even Japanese lyrics.
I'm just genuinely curious about the lyrics to this song considering the fact that this song released in a Granblue related album and the fact that Ono Yuuki is the main and solo vocalist for this song makes me wonder if this song is just a unofficial theme song for Danchou.
But please don't feel pressured, you'vs done amazing work and that can't be stated enough.
Wow. Thank you so much for the kind words, that means a ton. It's a bit hard for me to truly know how much what I'm doing has impact, so I appreciate this more than I can convey. These messages really do so much to keep me going!
To answer your second question: Cloudy World is already on my list! You'll be happy to know it seems to directly refer Over The Sky, which is another song the MCs did.
To tide things over while I work on the translations, I'd like to give you the lyrics to the song since you said you can't find them online anywhere. I've transcribed these from the CD jacket. This does not include my translation draft, but at least you'll be able to sing along. I'll place it under the cut.
Thank you for your message!

Quick wdtyg AU doodle and fic
Tumblr media
Fic:
Mikey didn't know when he woke up, but he did, and his soul almost shot out of his body when he noticed the figure towering over him an his brothers
Quickly he stood up, startling said figure that it backed away a bit
After squinting at whatever being was watching him, he fekt relived to recognise the person
"Leo!" he said "you can't do this to me dude"
His brother stared at him for a bit before muttering a small barely heard 'sorry'
They both sat in silence before mikey came to a realization
"Wait— were you watching us while we were sleeping?" he asked gesturing to his two other brothers sitting next to him
Leo did noting but nod
"Dude... That's creepy" mikey said with a shudder
Leo looked at him before slowly lowering his gaze
" Leo, did you sleep?"
Leo shook his head
"dude you need to sleep"
Leo shook his head again
"need to keep you safe" his brother finally spoke with a very scratchy and raspy voice, mikey almost winced at it, "can't keep you out of my sight..."
"Leo—"
"can't do it again" his brother interrupted him, "can't close my eyes and- and let you dissappear again, not again"
They both sat in silence after that, before mikey came to an idea
Without any warnings, Mikey sprung upwards standing up before grabbing Leo by the hand and dragging him near where their other brothers slept
"here, sit!" Mikey said
Leo looked at him confused eyes meeting Mukey's, but he sat down nonetheless
Mikey then started manhandling his other brother carefully so they won't wake up and dragged them towards leo, placing donnie between leo's legs, and he put raph on leo's lap.
Before leo could voice any of his confusion, mikey took the lead
"Here! like this we'll be safe around your arms even when asleep! So if anything attempts to take us, you'll be alert and you'd wake up!" Mikey chirped with a wide smile on his face before tucking himself under leo's arm
"We'll be safe Leo, and we'll be right here when we wake up, we promise"
Leo did nothing but stare, before tightening a grip on his brothers, a look on his face almost as if he's weighing his options
"Try to get some shut eye Leo, okay?" Mikey interrupted his train of thoughts
Leo looked back at him, his eyelids feeling heavier by the second and his body screaming at him to get some rest
He smiled a little before lowering his head, then whispered.
"Okay..."

New Year's Eve
The night was crisp and cold. Mikey and Shadow were taking a long evening walk as they often did, mostly to get out of the house but tonight it was also to celebrate the end of the year alone before heading home to enjoy it with the whole family. Their lives were insanely busy in a sense, but their day to day was still fairly mundane and they both often needed the distraction. They paused in the middle of the park to have a moment of quiet, away from the gathering crowds.
"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else than right here with you." Shadow sighed.
"Yeah. It can be loud and crowded and stinky, but I love it just the same. "
She leaned against him, laying her head on his shoulder. "With everything you have experienced it's hard to believe this is even on your radar."
He chuckled. "Yeah, I guess. But there isn't anything like being home no matter where you've been. Home is where the heart is after all and everything I love is here."
His hand snaked around her waist as they both let out a deep breath.
Mukey let out a chuckle. "Hey, there's a guy over there watching. Filming or taking pics or something. You want to give him a bit of a show? Show the world how spe-shell you are? How we make an egg-cellent pair? That you’ve stolen a pizza my heart?"
"Hmmm. I don't think I'd mind if you can handle it. My doctor says I'm lacking vitamin U after all" she hummed as she turned to face him, her hand finding its way to his chest.
Mikey trailed his finger up along her back to place his whole hand on her cheek with a grin. "I love you so much."
She gave him a coy grin as her fingers reached around the back of his neck to pull him down for a kiss. "Well, I have to keep up with you don't I?"
"Oh you don't have a problem doing that baby, life without you is like a broken pencil… totally pointless."
His hand left her cheek and made the journey to the middle of her back. They spent a few long minutes making out, giving their audience of one as innocent of a show as they could manage. When Shadow pulled back and chuckled, he looked directly over at the person attempting to subtly capture the moment and gave a small wave.
"You're awful" she laughed as she smacked his jacket.
"You are so lucky I restrain myself."
"You know, you're right. I should be thanking you. Instead of pictures of us kissing it could be you doing any number of other questionable things, like holding my hand or giving me some token of affection or even *gasp* picking me up and carrying me home."
"I have to admit, all this has made it a bit harder *heh* to know when I can go down on you in public. Wanna head home or should we see just how much he can handle?"
She took his hand and started heading back to their apartment. "It's cold hon. I think he might get burned if we got too steamy out here."

A New History of Shinto, By John Breen and Mark Teeuwen
Tumblr media
One of my favorite books to recommend people who want a more in depth look at the history of Shinto itself, and all the political and social changes.
Chapter 1: An Alternative Approach to the History of Shinto
Hearkening back to the concept mentioned here:
Of course, the fact that Shinto hardly functions as a religious identity does not mean that shrines are taken lightly. As "religious juridical persons" (shūkyō hōnjin) in law, shrines cannot be supported by public funds under Japan's postwar constitution. ①They depend for their upkeep on the largess of the inhabitants of their "parish" and the general public. Without a steady stream of income, no shrine can survive; a shrine priest much less so. When a shrine ceases to make itself relevant to the community on which it depends, it will disappear almost instantly.
⁠—Page 2
① From the end notes: "Shrines can, however, receive public subsidies for the maintenance of buildings and objects that are recognized as cultural properties (bunka-zai) or national treasures (kokuhō), or for the staging of events that have been designated as intangible cultural properties (mukei bunkazai)."
Apart from New Year, festivals (matsuri) are the main occasions on which shrines really come to life. Shrine festivals reflect local traditions and are spread across the year. Large festivals last for many days and give cultural identity to whole cities, as well as attracting thousands of visitors and tourists. Small festivals are intimate affairs, not unlike neighborhood parties... Festivals tend to be run by the local community it's rather than the shrine priests, who take center-stage only as ritual specialists performing liturgical tasks such as the transfer of the kami to the mikoshi or the recitation of prayers... Typical of shrine festivals is that they engage large parts of the community in their proceedings and that they envelop the community in a carnivalesque atmosphere in which much is allowed and all is forgiven.
⁠—Page 4
