The Blue

__________

Shomotsu was a small kojin trader who frequented Sui-No-Sato, trading journals and books from the outside world, and where Ridel got most of his books from. She was very fond of the boy, and helped him escape Sui-No-Sato when he asked for her aid around 5 years prior. She blamed herself when it was assumed that he didn't make it to the surface...

And here is the seventh and final part of my 20th anniversary series !

Part I Part II Part III Part IV Part V Part VI

As usual : Song titles link to individual mp3 file download

All 6 songs can also be downloaded together, in a zip file, from the link at the bottom

I believe I might have accidentally saved some of the best for last haha. Either this goes hard or it just follows the goth way i've been on, rencently or both :D

+DéspairsRay+ - Marry of the blood

I promise the file is properly tagged, i just missed spelling it that way lol.

Marry of the blood was found on the MaVERICK maxi-single, released in 2003

Eliphas Levi - rebirth

When I discovered that song, it was wrongly labeled as Dir en grey, so I literally spent years not really investigating and thinking this must have just been an old song or something XD So I actually discovered Eliphas Levi by accident lol

Rebirth was the middle track of the リデルの赤い書物 (LIDDEL no akai shomotsu), released in 1998

(yes i chose this one on purpose lol)

Eve of Destiny - You Killed Me First

Of course, me being the kind of person who wants to know everything about everyone interesting, i wanted to know what Közi did after Malice Mizer, so of course I came across Eve of Destiny. And i come from a goth background, musically, so if was just bound to happen, really :)

You Killed Me First was apparently only released on a compilation for the German magazine Astan, in 2003

fiction - LUCIFERという名のお人形 (lucifer to iu na no oningyou)

This is another song I found on a rotation blog :D Along with Luci'fer's tsubasa orareta vampire, from the same rotation, they became my introduction to Luci'fer Luscious Violenoue's music :)

Lucifer to iu na no oningyou was the title track of the album, released in 1997

Madeth Gray'll - Lucifer

The iconicest of the iconic songs ! If you only had one song from Madeth Gray'll to listen to, that should probably be it :3

Lucifer was found on the Lucifer~魔鏡に映る呪われた罪人達と生命の終焉~ (Lucifer ~ makyou ni utsuru norowareta zaijintachi to seimei no shuuen~) album from 2000

Bonus :

Dir en grey - THE FINAL

:D

THE FINAL was a single from 2004 indeed :)

Nampō Roku, Book 5:  Nambō Sōkei’s Conclusion to Book Five.

❖ [Nambō Sōkei's Letter to Rikyū -- apparently upon receiving the collection of sketches back from him.]

    With respect to the teachings on the daisu, [I] am overjoyed that [you] have deigned to transmit these fifty or so pages [to me], together with the sixteen others that [illustrate] the arrangements for the kyū-dai and naka-ita.  Verily, when handing down these teachings, [you have included] frequent rubrications and other things of that sort while preparing this scroll, which [I discovered while] inspecting it.  If [I] understand the point of all of this, [it is that you] have made [the appropriate] corrections.

    I will close here.

          Eleventh Month, Fifth Day.                                                                                                                                                  Nambō Sōkei

      ��                 to Hōsen shukō [抛筌主公].

==============================================

❖ [Rikyū's Reply to Nambō Sōkei -- which he seems to have written on the same piece of paper, immediately following the text of Sōkei’s missive.]

                        [With reference to] the preceding:

    Having glanced through this scroll, so to speak:  over the course of many years none of [the arrangements] have been lost.  And [since you] have diligently gathered them together, as a gesture of obedience [to a fellow traveler] on the Way [I passed my comments along to you].  There is naturally no difference in the ceremony [between one arrangement and another].

    Nevertheless, if you should look elsewhere, you will find that the transmitted teachings have become diluted.  You should keep such opinions out of your mind.  Otherwise, wiping your head, might you not become confused by these changes?  Because, for your training, it is better to dispense with books.

    Having said that much....

          Eleventh Month, Twenty-eighth Day.                                                                                                                                        Sōeki

                       Nambō

◎ The two letters translated here are found at the end of some versions of Book Five of the Nampō Roku.  Because of the highly anomalous language*, both are almost certainly spurious.

    That said, the original texts of the two letters are as follows:

    These letters would seem to have been contrived to suggest that all of the kaki-ire [書入] were written by Rikyū.  Since many of them are known to have been added by Tachibana Jitsuzan and the Enkaku-ji scholars, this fact would seem to argue against accepting these two letters as authentic. ___________ *They are written in what people of the Edo period (and into the early modern era) considered “academic Chinese.”

    This sort of language, and its idiom, do not match either Nambō Sōkei's numerous comments that are preserved throughout the Nampō Roku, nor the language used in Rikyū's own densho (almost all of which contain epistolary and/or dedicatory passages).

    Furthermore, in Nambō Sōkei's letter, Rikyū is addressed as Hōsen shukō [抛筌主公], Hōsen refers to Rikyū's purported sai-gō [齋號] Hosen-sai [抛筌齋] (shukō means “lord” or “master”).  However, the use of this name seems to begin with Urasenke’s 11th generation iemoto Gengen-sai Sōshitsu [玄々齋宗室; 1810 ~ 1877] (and it is in his copy of the Nampō Roku that the letters that are translated in this post apparently were found).  In none of the surviving material that passed between Rikyū and Nambō Sōkei (such as the Nambō-ate no densho [南坊宛の傳書]) is this name ever used; neither is it found in any of Rikyū's other surviving writings or correspondence.

    Tanaka Senshō also states that the letters are associated with the “Sen family version” of the Nampō Roku (which means the copy of the text owned by Gengen-sai); while, according to him, they are missing from the other versions of the text that he has inspected.  He, furthermore, adds that the presence of these letters may be taken as verification of the Sen family’s version’s authenticity.  (In Tanaka's writings, “Sen family” invariably means Urasenke, since it was a teacher affiliated with Urasenke who brought Tanaka into the practice of chanoyu; and, later, he was initiated into the ōhi [奥秘], or most secret teachings, by Yūmyō-sai Genshitsu [又玅齋玄室; 1852 ~ 1917], the 12th generation iemoto and Gengen-sai's son-in-law.)  Tanaka also verifies that Urasenke’s daisu-temae (which he learned from Yūmyō-sai) are consistent with what is found in Book Five of the Nampō Roku.

†Kiyu [几右] means a desk.  Tanaka's version of the text has o-migi [御右], which would mean “[in reference to] the preceding [material].”  Kiyu, then, is most likely a miscopying.

Sakura Taisen Song Box

Released: April 15, 2009 (digital only)

Available at iTunes

This is like a mashup of 2003′s “Complete Song Box” and 2006′s “Zenkyokushuu,” only with a lot less content: it’s got 120 songs, while the aforementioned collections had 139 and 122, respectively. For the price, though, it’s still a good deal for people who just want a lot of Sakura Taisen songs, not necessarily all of them.

Songs with a “—” instead of a number are songs that were part of the physical collections but that are not included in the digital version

Barabara is a terrible word and I'm fairly certain it's also a pun. It's a sound effect word that means scattered, one bara is roses (also sometimes manly men) and Barubara/Barbara is probably also based on this pun. Unrelated, Seazer did Baramon薔薇門/Rose Gate once withTenjo Sajiki which had the Bara no Kakumei薔薇の革命, which was Rose Revolution, but it was about gay dudes. And it's suki yoooooo~ Admittedly, when Akio says 薔薇の門 bara no mon/Rose Gate in the last episode, it's all I can think about. That isn't relevant here, but I felt everyone needed to know. I like to think barabara is also rose petals because of course I do.

The 'aruaru' in 'achikochi barabara aruaru barbara' is translated as "I am I am" the first lines that say barabara achikochi have 散在点在 and the two repeated kanji are also 'aru' sometimes which is basically 'exist' and while aruaru already is a phrase, it means so many things and we had a similar line with most the sentence, so I used that.

I wanted the last lines to say ‘my own me is mine’, but it really kinda just trails off :/

I maybe also admitted to someone I never actually learnt English in an actual educational or professional setting earlier today.

My real me is scattered

Song no. 12 of Seazer’s new Utena album, most likely the reason for that Barbara in the title. I love this song. And Seazer is part of the reason why I’m studying Japanese, so I might as well give it a try.

I just want to clarfy that my Japanese level is pretty basic and not enough to try to translate Seazer songs of all things, I did asked for help in some parts, still don’t take any of this at face value and feel free to input:

My real me is scattered (バラバラバラバラバラ) My real me is scattered (バラバラバラバラバラ) My real me is scattered (barabarabarabarabara) My real me is scattered (barabarabarabarabara)

My real me is scattered (scattered scattered)¹ My real me is scattered (scattered scattered)

星座星雲惑星のように (バラバラバラバラバラ) バラバラあちこち散在点在 (バラバラバラバラバラ) 無限の細胞のように (バラバラバラバラバラ) バラバラあちこち散在点在 (バラバラバラバラバラ) まるで点描画のように (バラバラバラバラバラ) 《画法》スパッタリングのように seiza seiun wakusei no you ni (barabarabarabarabara) barabara achikochi sanzai tenza (barabarabarabarabara) mugen no saibou no you ni (barabarabarabarabara) barabara achikochi sanzai tenzai (barabarabarabarabara) marude tenbyou ga no you ni (barabarabarabarabara) supattaringu no you ni

Like a constellation, nebula, planet (scattered scattered) Scattered, all over the place scattered, dotted (scattered scattered) Like infinite cells (scattered scattered) Scattered, all over the place scattered, dotted (scattered scattered) Just like a pointillist painting (scattered scattered) «Art of painting» Like ink spattering

My real me is scattered (バラバラバラバラバラ) My real me is scattered (バラバラバラバラバラ) My real me is scattered (barabarabarabarabara) My real me is scattered (barabarabarabarabara)

My real me is scattered (scattered scattered) My real me is scattered (scattered scattered)

あるいはこぅも思ぅ わたし空想書物によってあるもの わたし幻想書籍によっているもの わたし幻獣辞典によって変化しつづけ わたしあなたの夢で成るもの aruiwa kou mo omou watashi kuusou shomotsu ni yotte aru mono watashi gensou shoseki ni yotte iru mono watashi genjuujiten ni yotte henka shi tsudzuke watashi anata no yume de naru mono

Or perhaps also like this I am according to a fantasy book I am according to a illusory publication I continue to change according to the Book of Imaginary Beings​² I shall fullfil your dreams

わたしあなたの目線で存在し わたしあなたの言葉で語れるもの わたしあなたの力で運動し わたしあなたの夢で成るもの watashi anata no mesen de sonzai shi watashi anata no kotoba de katareru mono watashi anata no chikara de undou shi watashi anata no yume de naru mono

I exist in your view³ I shall speak with your words I shall move with your forze I shall fulfil your dreams

ああまぼろし夢幻のわたしのわたしは わたしの目線で成るもの aa maboroshi mugen no watashi no watashi wa watashi no mesen de naru mono

Ah! The me of the illusory dream me⁴ shall fulfill my view³

わたしのわたしはわたしの (My real me is scattered) わたしのわたしはわたしの (My real me is scattered) わたしのわたしはわたしの (My real me is scattered) あちこちバラバラあるあるバラバラ わたしのわたしはわたしの (My real me is scattered) あちこちバラバラあるあるバラバラ わたしのわたしはわたしの… watashi no watashi wa watashi no (My real me is scattered) watashi no watashi wa watashi no (My real me is scattered) watashi no watashi wa watashi no (My real me is scattered) achikochi barabara aru aru barabara watashi no watashi wa watashi no (My real me is scattered) achikochi barabara aru aru barabara watashi no watashi wa watashi no…

my me is my (My real me is scattered) my me is my (My real me is scattered) my me is my (My real me is scattered) all over the place is scattered scattered my me is my (My real me is scattered) all over the place is scattered scattered my me is my…

¹ バラバラ (barabara) is not a verb, but an onomatopeia for something scattering. Is common for Japanese people to use onomatopeias in sentences.

² 幻獣辞典 (genjuujiten) refers to El Libro de los Seres Imaginarios, or Book of Imaginary Beings in English, a book by Argentinian Jorge Luis Borges, basically a dictionary of 120 fantastical beings found in myth, legends, folklore and literature.

³  目線 (mesen) usually means gaze or someone’s point of view, but my teacher told me that here it could probably be talking about “what someone has their view upon” like a goal. Hard to put a definitive meaning since the lyrics talk about both, being what is dictated by something else and fulfilling someone’s dreams 

⁴ I wanted to see if there was a particular reason why  まぼろし (maboroshi/illusion) was writen in hiragana instead on kanji, turns out  まぼろし is the Japanese title for  Sous le sable or Under the sand, a French film by  François Ozon. The film is about awoman whose husband goes missing while swimming in the sea and she goes into denial and acts like he is still living with her. The decomposed is later found, but she doesn’t acept that is her husband. I can’t assure you this is revelant, but it could be!
