Keep in mind that by no means am I a professional translator—I simply self-taught myself JP and am still currently honing my skills in this.
I work alone in what I’m doing unless stated so (i.e., I do the proofing, translating, sourcing of the raws) and also have a life behind the monitor like everybody else.
That being said, some of my Enstars translations are worked with other people. More specifically, they were proofed by other people.
Please read FAQ in regards with retranslations to your native language and translyrics usage.
If you have read everything above, please proceed.
Here are the list of the translations I’ve worked on so far (arranged per series):

Today's catch
These are fishes we caught in the ocean yesterday. I’d like you to have it as a meal. There’s no need to worry about our stock. Since we Forest Guardians have to be wary of the Infected Automata each passing day, going out to the ocean with you and learning about fishing was truly a valuable experience. I’ve watched dawn break time and time again as the night breeze blew along the coastline numerous times. Even though it was the same scenery I saw every time, it felt like a joyous moment with you and every one by my side.
…While I may have intentionally never said anything, today is my activation day. I never had any good memories after I had undergone the Structurization for demi-human type Structures, so it was reasonable that I never mentioned it.
But it’s different now. My relationship with others and the cherished memories that came with it, as well as the construction of New Sofia… Seeing how things would go from here on out, I’m starting to believe that a new day would surely come no matter how long winter nights would be.
From: Rosetta’s Mail―Part 1
Snowstorm in the afternoon
However, our situation’s slowly becoming better now. We’re gathered around the hearth talking to each other, indulging in pine needle tea along with the seafood we’ve procured and the Forest Guardian’s special fruit cake, and then…
......
…and then you came along and joined the conversation. When the snowstorm lets up, I’ll escort you until we’ve reached your base.
From: Rosetta’s Mail―Part 2
Hope everyone had a fantastic holiday! I will be posting quite a few stuff over the next few days with so much stuff piled up while on holiday rest and first off would be Ayla's and Rosetta's Activation Day mail!

[Push Notification] Art Exhibit Interview
◜Lateral Arc◝ Art Exhibit Interview |
Ayla ― ”Pursuing the colorful world reflected in our eyes”
Article publication date: December 15 | Interviewed by the Garden Ventures |
Today is the start of the up-and-coming artist Ayla’s exhibit “◜Lateral Arc◝,” held at Exhibit Building C-06! The exhibit delivers a prismatic visual symposium that transcends time and space, expressing the sentiments and encounters of the people in the current Era. Regardless of the massive response on the first day, it has beaten the venue’s previous record of the most number of visitors. Several pieces displayed have a ◜Lateral Arc◝ with the joint operations between the Arts Association and the Elite Corps. Our team of journalists had the honor to interview Miss Ayla.
Q: Could you please tell us why you chose such a theme for the exhibit this time around?
A: Although “art” is but a tiny existence in our time today, that is exactly what makes up the driving force we deeply contemplate when it comes to “art.” For instance, I see the blue skies in front of me as the most vivid and biggest canvas there could ever be. But the canvas’ color reflected in other people’s eyes is different, right? What I want to draw are the different forms of this world reflected from their view. I believe it’s good that people have their own interpretation of what “reality” is.
Q: All the artwork displayed here is impressive. I know it’s possible to know the production process by “recreating the scene” via the device located beside each of the art pieces here, but why display it in that manner?
A: I was inspired by a previous mission I participated in on Earth. As for the devices installed… It’s my way of thanking the person who took care of me during the production of these pieces. They gave me the inspiration for this and have always been supportive of me. They probably aren’t aware of it, but it’s because they’ve always been fighting for the sake of humanity’s future… I wanted the world reflected in those people’s eyes to continue to exist. Their existence always gives us strength in one way or another.
Q: In regards to the last, blank artwork displayed called “Masterpiece,” you mentioned that someone once said that “it’s because the next piece is yet to be completed that it’s the perfect masterpiece.” What do you make about this interpretation of it?
A: Ahaha! That’s a really interesting interpretation of it. I love it! But all the pieces displayed in the art exhibit are pieces I’m proud of. …Ah! I just thought of what could my next piece be! Oh dear, I’m so excited that I wanna draw it so badly right now!
Q: It’s truly a “surge of inspiration!” Then, could you please tell us about what your next piece is? Not just me, but Miss Ayla’s fans are also looking forward to what your “masterpiece” would be… Even just a tiny spoiler, please!
A: Hehe, I’d like to keep it a secret for now. Talking about the details of my work takes up a lot of courage, you know?
From: Writer | Montpellier
From Ayla
Hi there, Commander~! It’s been so long, did you perhaps miss me? I got your cake and activation day present, thank you so much! Golly gee, why do you always know the things that make me happy?
My art exhibition starts today. For me, today is a really important day. Because there is a day like this I was able to let the whole world see a new perspective and outlook in life, I was able to experience the cruel reality beyond those shelters. Since you’re such a busy person, I was able to ask the Arts Association to display the art pieces for an additional day after the last day of the exhibit for you. I’ll be your specialized guide that day and give you a tour around the venue! And also, I prepared a surprise for you so look forward to that, okay?
It was pretty difficult to express all of the battles everyone’s fighting in a piece of artwork, but… Thanks to you and everyone, I was able to grasp the monuments of this war we’re fighting, I was able to pick up and weave fragments of the stars and show its glow to a greater crowd of people. Hehe, was our conversation seriously heavy? Pretty sure that my mood hasn’t switched off from “exhibit mode,” that’s why. Oh yeah, I have a wish I want you to grant, but… I want to draw your portrait!
They say that it’s okay to make a wish on one’s activation day, right? So I want you to be my model! I know you’re thinking that I’m already drawing you as we’re speaking, but I still wanna draw you even after I already drew plenty of times now. …It’s only when I draw that I can have your gaze all to myself, see? Or something along those lines, hehe. Saying it made me feel a bit shy about it. Anyway, come to my atelier when you got the time! I don’t mind if it’s late, I’ll be waiting for you.
From: Ayla’s Mail
I hope everyone's enjoying the holidays and also the latest patch with Lightning Amplifier No. 21! I'll be posting Bambinatta's Activation Day memoir for this year for everyone who is a White Swan/Egress Unit lore enthusiast out there! I will be working on the log-in bonus "Bridal Letters" along with Ayla's Activation Day memoir so look forward to those.
Did Bambinatta celebrate her activation day with the Commander? Read more on the cut down below (*´▽｀*)
An invitation from the White Swan Unit
This morning, Bambinatta has received the present you left on the White Swan’s break room. I would like to express my gratitude for the gift.
Master has told me that I “shouldn’t be inclined to accept alms from others,” and so… if it’s all right with you, I’d like to head over to your unit’s break room. I shall indulge you in some tea time. In an attempt to meet with my external memory module’s maintenance at 2 in the afternoon, we may not be able to make time… until after today’s scheduled maintenance. Master also said that you could place an additional order for one more person if you wish to. I would be glad if you respond to our invitation.
Was it presumptuous of Bambinatta… to give back to the Commander as a token of appreciation for your gift? If it’s inconvenient for you, please give me the order to leave your return gift on a designated location of your choosing.
From: Bambinatta’s Mail―Part 1
Why are you apologizing?
I’ve told you it was okay to just order me to leave your gift at a designated location, but you still apologized to Bambinatta. Did I made it awkward for you?
You told me before that one should firmly stick to their word, but… If Bambinatta wants to stay by the Commander and Master’s side, I shouldn’t feel anxious about losing my memory data. However… If I do lose it, I might forget your birthday. I don’t want to forget when the Commander’s birthday is. Master also said that “it was the first time somebody celebrated Bambinatta’s activation day.” That’s why it is an imperative for Bambinatta to celebrate the Commander’s birthday. It’s a little early, but I’ve attached your birthday present in this mail. I’d be glad if you like it.
Among Bambinatta’s memory data, the image of the Commander’s troubled look trying to remember things is recorded in her memory module, so I gave you a box you could put away these token of remembrance. You can place those items inside this box so they won’t be forgotten along with the memory data that becomes obsolete. I store the gifts I receive from you inside the box. It’s Bambinatta’s precious treasure. I’ll be sure to cherish it dearly.
Commander, thank you so much for today.
From: Bambinatta’s Mail―Part 2
As mentioned in the previous post, I will be doing a compilation post of the voiced message for the 3rd anniversary. This will be updated over time in line with both their posts on their official social media accounts.
You can read more about what their message is on the cut below (≧▽≦)
Lucia
Hello? Is this the Commander? It's Lucia. It's our first transmission after such a long time, huh. Truth be told, I can feel some kind of strange interference in my model. Is it because I'm far away from you and I'm not used to it that I have become more sensitive to such change? Or is there a different reason altogether, I wonder... More importantly, now that the mission sorties for the Gray Raven Unit have lessened, I, uhm... have this new pastime called stargazing.
I thought about it from time to time, but the Gray Raven Unit is similar to the constellations in the sky. Although we've gone in different directions, if you connect each of the stars with a line, we form a single constellation. So even if we're all far apart from each other, the light we shine will always connect us. In our group, the one who shines the most is you, (Commander). If you're with us, we won't feel anxious on straying from our path, no matter how dark our surroundings would become. (Commander), I bid you the best of luck from here on. The Gray Raven Unit will always be here, waiting for your return.
Lee
Hello, Commander. It's Lee. It's been a while since we've talked like this. Everyone in the Gray Raven Unit are doing well. You once said before that we generally can find a solution even to the most difficult problems we face, but there are several problems right now that are beyond what we could resolve on our own that even drawing up a simulacrum couldn't provide a solution. For instance, hmm... Let's see.. Say, if perhaps there's a method to bring home someone who's doing their utmost best somewhere in this world. Huh? You haven't been away for that long?
......I don't think so. ...It's about time you return here. Your room is still the same, nothing has been touched. Although I think the way one part of how things are placed in your room are ridiculous, it doesn't feel strange because that's how you are. So...... ...Please come back as soon as you can. You hear me?
Luna
It's been a while, Commander of the Gray Raven. Surely I don't need to tell you who this is you're talking to, right? Big sister and I have heard a great deal of your and the Gray Raven Unit's “efforts.” What is precisely necessary so the aspiration you've once mentioned becomes a reality I wonder. Imagine that life could still bloom in these vast, afflicted lands. The resiliency of humans truly is surprising.
Another thing is that lofty tower still has secrets to tell, its influence seemingly affects the Ascendant's Network. As of late, big sister― ...No, forget it. It'd be better if you knew nothing about it. I'm only here to tell you something. Don't do anything dangerous like last time. If something happened to your body, it has nothing to do with me. It would only lessen one more person to keep an eye on. So long. Let us meet again somewhere if you're still alive by then, (Commander).
No. 21
First, press this button here, and then this one here... Oh, it's a transmission from the Commander. Listen (Commander), I got a new model. Its ears and tail are fluffy. It's really strong and cute too. With this model, I feel like I can beat Noctis plenty of times. ...Hm? Why is Noctis laughing? Oh, since this is a voice call transmission, you won't be able to see us over the call. So hurry up and come back. I'll be waiting for you here.
You want a simple explanation as to how did this happen? Hrrmmm, it's still a secret right now. I wanna see the surprised look on your face when you see me. I have so many things I wanna tell you until now, but I'll save it for another day. ...But... Be-fore that... I better obliterate Noctis, who's interfering with our call.
Vera
Oh, it's the Commander of the Gray Raven Unit. You just forcibly let the Cerberus Unit do your job, huh. Pretty ballsy of you to make me do your desk work. So how does that feel? Did spending your days with such a laid-back behavior until now suddenly make you feel sluggish? Or are you just not used to constantly being on a battlefield? Though we don't have enough of this " Commander " training apparatus in the Cerberus Unit's training room, would you like to try and have a first-hand experience? I can physically and mentally let you experience an instantaneous wake-up call from your slovenliness.
Come, it's time for training. I'll have your private transmission channel blacklisted so my subordinates' focus won't wander off mid-training. You're welcome. I'm simply doing what I must do. Or were you expecting to have a conversation with me at your leisure? If that's the case... if you encode a certain document left on your desk and also dispose of the documents on our unit after you're done with that, then I suppose we can chit-chat for a few hours. I'll let you remember your combat senses. It'll be a problem if you die in battle. Noctis, No. 21, I'll triple today's training if you two keep on eavesdropping.
Noctis
Hellllooo? Can you hear me? 'sup there, Commander, long time no see. How are ya these days? Guess there's no need for lil' old me to worry 'boutcha, but hey, the weather's nice today. HUH!? Why the hell do you know 'bout how I recently procured a custom-made equipment!? …? Ugh, for real? So word's got out as far as your place, dang, that's surprising. It's not that big of a deal, really, I just got even more buffed. Whaddya think, Commander? If you got nothin' to else to do, wanna help me out choosing parts?
Those guys don't understand my sense of taste and told me that all the parts I chose and thought was lit were “lame af,” ya know? They don't get me at all. Guess that just means that you and I are on the same wavelength huh. When I'm done with my thing, imma go to ya and talk 'bout it face to face. What business do I have witcha? It's, uh, just the usual directives. No need to worry 'bout it. ...Anyway! Just hurry up and come back, (Commander)! I'll be waitin' for ya here! I gotta go! Imma hang up now! ...Huh? Do I just gotta push this button here? Let's see... This transmission device...
Alpha
Was the transmission intercepted again? Tch... Well, it is what it is. Been a while, Commander of the Gray Raven. By the time you've received this message, I've already embarked on a new journey. Something is lurking in the abyss lately... While I could slow down its tracks, it might also affect those around you. That's why I sent you this message.
Well, you can give a response whenever you feel like it. I still can't tell you where I'm headed for this time. But if you're dying of curiosity, I'll tell you when I will return from this journey. Wait patiently like the adult you are. Oh, it's gotten late now. It's about time I head out already. Let's meet again someday. When that time comes... our lives have become relevant to each other.
Selena
Conductor, can you hear my voice? It truly has been so long. I've been wondering since then what kind of scenery have you seen during your journey. I wanted to see them together with you if possible. I've continually been walking a long journey on a moonless night. At the end of that road, there was a figure of someone holding an iris in their hand, in a place shining with light. I knew that person was you. Conductor, I believe that you'll find me one day. I too... will be waiting for you.
Speaking of, what I wish to tell you is that I've met this “Ayla” person before. While I do not remember much about my past, I recognized the feeling of how she is someone has become such a strong and brilliant person inside me. If our paths were to cross paths again, I'd love to have a conversation with her. Time's almost up. Conductor, let us continue where we left off on our dance the next time we meet. Let's dance until the song's finale. And ultimately, I pray that our dance will always continue for all time.
Karenina
Hello... He~llo? Commander of the Gray Raven, respond if you can hear me, dammit! D-don't get me wrong! I only contacted you 'cause there's something I wanna sound out! Teddy told me to “look for any hobby and take a breather” since I've always buried myself with work lately, so... I want your opinion on that.
What do you think about music? Wouldn't it be cool if I tried playing the guitar or the piano? It might be unexpectedly interesting to form a band, stand on stage, and perform a song and dance. ...Hey, you're not thinking of anything strange, are you!? No, that doesn't mean I wanna show it to you or anything! I heard that playing musical instruments and dancing is hard, but I'm gonna easily master those since I'm a genius! Don't you think so? Wahahahahaha! Time to try it out this instant. Catch you later!
Happy 3rd anniversary to the PGR JP servers! In celebration to the game's 3rd year in operation on Japan, there is a 3-day log-in bonus along with a voiced message from certain characters for the players each day. I might just make a compiled post of that some time this week along with Bambinatta's activation day memoir. But first, here's Bianca's memoir.
More on her activation day mail on the cut down below (*´▽｀*)
I've received your invitation mail
I plan on inviting you out for dinner during our time off duty, but I didn’t think that you’d be the one inviting me instead. When I received your message, I… felt so glad.
As the captain of the Purification Squad, it’s hard to imagine I could go out to the city outside of mission-related purposes…
Pray forgive my lack of consideration in consideration of today as a special day. I shall wait for you tonight, at the meeting time we’ve agreed on.
P.S.
Please reply if you have any model rigs you’d like me to change into for tonight.
From: Bianca’s Mail―Part 1
Thank you so much for today
I didn’t expect that you would be able to book us a seat and table at the Annulus Holographic Theater and Restaurant… It was such a good movie. The final scene at the end where the actor was gazing at the sea from the window was especially quite significant. I think it feels almost too good to be true that Structures could easily preserve such a joyful memory within our memory modules…
Please take this camera, Commander. Although I thought of recording on film a fragment of their memories with this camera, whenever I see you through the finder, I… I wanted to know how I am reflected in your eyes beyond the camera’s finder. I’ve heard that it’s okay for one to make a special wish on their activation day. Please, I’d like you to capture the memories we’ve made on camera.
…You might be surprised, but this is my only wish on my activation day. If we can leave behind the memories we’ve made in this form, we can treasure these pieces of our memory in a photo album and not just within my heart.
…It’s already late, so you might be already resting by the time you’ve read this mail. I hope that you dream of that scene where you gaze upon the sea from the window. Good night.

I hope everyone's enjoying the latest PGR patch content! I took a few day's break in posting and here's the last of the October celebrants' activation day memoir! Luna's mail coincides with the duration of the Wintry Shackles patch so there are some bits of what happened during A New Divide patch update and also the aforementioned patch.

#%?""< "Unknown Sender" "―..........
◼▮▬▬◼▮▮▮▮◼▬▬
…My sister told me that today is my activation day. To put it plainly, on this day several years ago is the day I willingly gave up being “human” and joined the Ascendants’ Network. Humans are feeble existence who forget everything as time passes. That is why although it was recorded as a “special day,” it is their justification for their guilt of neglect.
Structures remember the day I was activated while humans couldn’t remember the day I was born―everything is recorded in their Sea of Consciousness the moment they have undergone Structurization. The emotions I felt that day were fear, resentment, betrayal, and the pain of getting stabbed by a knife and shot by a bullet. But of course, I’ve “exacted vengeance” for what they did to me.
By now, past grudges are slowly washed away with time as those people imparted nothing but this world’s harsh reality driven into my body and soul. I came this far with the blood of those wrongful humans on my hands in the same way as they had done. However, the chance and need for reconciliation have been long gone. I do not make any excuses for my actions, unlike those people. I for one, think those despicable humans are like irredeemable trash I do not need to give heed to.
You, however… are different.
From: Luna’s Mail―Part 1
Maybe...
My sister said that it’d be best to contact you before we depart elsewhere. …We haven’t seen each other, not since City Number 075 I believe.
After I left the Moon, sister… has been at peace more than ever. Perhaps it may have been due to the changes in the Ascendants’ Network. My desire and the other voice within my own acknowledged that we sisters can continue living together and that you humans can pave the way for a future. In that said road, it is necessary for foolish people like you to be linked to the Ascendants’ Network.
…You wish to protect all you cherish even if it means standing along the grips of death… You truly are a fool. However, it may be a part of human emotion. You’ve proved the meaning of what it means to be human. That is why we will not die until we’ve reformed this star. I promise.
…This is something I’ve brought from the moon. Big sister has one part of this with her, but this one’s yours. Interestingly enough, have you ever been to the moon? It is completely different from the Earth. Neither turmoils nor the sound of automata could be heard up there, only absolute silence.
Why not try and visit that place sometime in the future?
From: Luna’s Mail―Part 2
Here is Camu's activation day mail! It's interesting to read how Camu's and Kamui's personalities are in their respective memoirs. Personally speaking, both of them have a unique endearing point that's adorable in one point (*´▽｀*)
How are they different? You can know the different through Camu's mail on the cut down below (≧▽≦)
.........
………This has got to be your idea. While I do share the same activation day as Kamui, he ain’t that fussy about such things. It made me expect some sort of surprise. …I didn’t think you were going to cook some food for today. Aside from how it looks, the taste’s not bad. Straight away, it’s better than what Chrome, Kamui or Wanshi made.
…And also, I’m also thankful that you also have cake. It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted sugary, sweet cream.
Though it’s been some time since we’ve all gathered, this ain’t that bad. I don’t know if it’s ‘cause I’ve been here for a long time or ‘cause for a different reason altogether, but the world doesn’t seem to be as awful as it was before…
…It’s nothing. More importantly, you know I always have take-outs for dinner, right? Even though you’ve cooked food for my activation day…… No, it’s not because all of that food’s gonna be wasted. Forget what I said.
From: Camu’s Mail―Part 1
DON'T EAT THAT!
Hey! You idiot! Don’t eat just about anything without even checking if it’s safe to eat!
I’ll be the one who’d be questioned for “attempted murder of Commander (Commander)” by the court-martial if there was something inside the food you ate. So that bento box I sent over to you was… uh, something I cooked for myself in celebration of my activation day. I thought that if you could also cook, then maybe I could too. But in reality… it got burned. Just some of it. That’s why when I was about to throw it away and just buy a new one, I didn’t expect you to eat all of it.
You haven’t eaten anything good from your usual. Inside this bento is the Hellicious Golden Egg Fried Rice I bought from that food stall in the shopping area, and also grilled rice cakes with cheese? Or something of the sort. I’ve already checked if it’s edible so stop worrying, there shouldn’t be any problem this time. I’ve had enough of today’s activation day celebration, but, well… It’s not that awful so to speak.
…Oi, you’ll have to “make up for it” if you cause any trouble, am I right? There’s this one place I’ve been curious about. This is perfect, I’ll have you go to that place and try out their menu. I’ve reserved a week’s worth of meals for next week. You better show up every day when it’s dinner time. I’ll be waiting until you show up.
See you tomorrow.
From: Camu’s Mail―Part 2
Today's gonna be a back-to-back activation day memoir posts! That's right, it's Kamui's and Camu's! Much like how the players received their in-game mail, I'll also be posting Camu's later so look forward to that! For now, I'll be posting Kamui's first off!
You can read more of his activation day mail on the cut below (≧▽≦)
Incoming Mission, Ready for Duty!
It’s been so long, Commander! Contacting you like this feels really strange! What’s this kinda thing called again? Was it “e-mailing?” Like waiting for your reply is just so cool!
―wait, no, this ain’t the time for that! I was about to tell you that I got assigned on a solo mission to support you, and Cap’n strangely gave me the okay for it! Just thinking about fighting with you together is exciting! I’m excited as heck! I’m so glad that I’ll be able to spend time together, no matter what kind of mission we are gonna do!
Probably by the time you receive this email, I think I’m on my way towards the mission area! I’ll show you how much I’ve improved!
See you later!
From: Kamui’s Mail―Part 1
SOO Fricking Happy!
So today’s “mission” is my activation day surprise party, huh! I thought that there was something fishy about that, but I didn’t expect this kind of surprise!
More importantly, the activation day gift from you all! I’ve always wanted this, but how did you guys know!? Did somebody look at my browsing logs? Was it the Cap’n? Nah, maybe it’s Wanshi? Or… was it actually you, Commander!? I totally won’t forget today, ever! Speaking of which, did you also prepare something for Camu? I’m curious what kinda reaction he will have!
Oops, I almost forgot! I also have a present for you, Commander! I didn’t make this, but it’s part of my precious collection… Tah-dah! It’s a hero’s greatsword! Isn’t it cool!? I’ve always wanted to give it to you for the longest time, but the timing wasn’t good every time… I’m glad I’ve finally handed it over to you~!
Structures like us are kinda like heroes on the battlefield all around the world, but you’re also a hero, y’know. You always have our backs whenever we’re fighting. That’s why we’re able to safely walk towards the future together. Awww man~~~! It’s kinda embarrassing to say it like this here, but thanks for everything you do!
Not just for today’s big surprise, but for also protecting this world, for always watching out for us. Thanks a bunch!
From: Kamui’s Mail―Part 2
As previously stated, I will be posting the activation day mail for this year's October celebrants and first off the list will be Vera's mail. This year was greeted with her second Character Image Song along with the implemented activation day memoirs.
What kind of day was her activation day for her? You can read more on the cut down below (≧▽≦)
Reserved you a ticket
Commander? Surely you know what day it is today, right? Of course, it’s my activation day.
You don’t have any missions today, do you? I’ll let you know that I “just happened to see” your schedule for today since I just “took a peek” at it out of boredom.
With that said, let’s go watch an opera. The show will start an hour from now in the afternoon. You don’t have to come, but I might let you in on a secret you’re dying to know about if you do decide to come and watch the play.
Ahah, then let’s talk more about it later.
From: Vera’s Mail―Part 1
30 Minutes until it starts
Come on now, where are you? I’m already inside the theater, you know?
I’ll let you know just in case, but the seating numbers are at 9C and 9D. You’re not gonna ask me to come pick you up outside the opera house, are you? So the great FOS alumni can’t even keep their word now?
Let me know ahead of time if you can’t make it due to unforeseen circumstances, will you. I won’t be leaving until you contact me.

Vera Character Image Song “Shine of LIFE” Lyrics Translation
In celebration of both Vera's activation day along with her victory in last year's EdenFes on the JP servers, we are presented with her Character Image Song, "Shine of LIFE" (*´▽｀*) You can listen to the full version over on the PGR JP's official YT Page.
I'll also be posting the October activation day celebrants' memoirs over the next few days so stay tuned for that!
Below the cut is the lyrics translation (≧▽≦)
Song Title: Shine of LIFE
Sung by: Vera (CV: Inoue Marina)
Lyrics, Composition & Arrangement: Mellowcle
噓で固めた真実など
飲み込んでしまえ 救いはない
どれだけの痛み重なって
越えた先にある未来は
This is the Shine of LIFE
Uso de katameta shinjitsu nado
Nomikondeshimae Sukui ha nai
Dore dake no itami kasanatte
Koeta saki ni aru mirai ha
This is the Shine of LIFE
There's no saving those buried in these treacheries,
even this world's truth built upon deceit and lies
All of our pain and plight have kept on piling up
A future that awaits beyond this suffering
This is the Shine of LIFE
Togeru senjou ni hitofuri no
Yaiba ga moyuru hanayaka ni
Inori mo negai mo imi nado nasanai kara
Ikinuku tame ni erabu michi ha hitotsu dake
A single swing of the blade burns with brilliance
in a blaze of glory throughout these trenches
The meaning of all these dreams and prayers have gone without memorial
There is only one road we must take to survive all of this ordeal
それは Shine of LIFE
命を燃やしてく
答えはいらない
手にしたものが全て
抗えない運命に抗った先に見えたのは
それは Shine of LIFE
何より美しく輝いて
Sore ha Shine of LIFE
Inochi wo moyashiteku
Kotae ha iranai
Te ni shita mono ga subete
Aragaenai unmei ni aragatta saki ni mieta no ha
Sore ha Shine of LIFE
Nani yori utshukushiku kagayaite
That is the Shine of LIFE
The candle of our life burns so bright
Twisted answers be damned
Fervidly grasp all we've seen and felt
What I see beyond struggling against this indomitable fate we all face
It is the Shine of LIFE
emitting the most beautiful light there would ever be
Dareka no tame ni ikiru to ka
Jibun wo gisei ni shitari to ka
Kawari yuku tomadoi ha tou ni suteta
Ikinuku tame ni eranda michi wo susumu dake
Whether it'd be living for someone else in life
or making the sacrifice for the greater good,
I've long cast aside these constantly changing hesitations
We must keep walking on this path we've chosen and keep on living
これは Shine of LIFE
見てきた惨状に
言葉はいらない
立ち向かうことが全て
受け継いだ旗の指し示す先に待つのは
それは Shine of LIFE
ほら今も儚く輝いて
Kore ha Shine of LIFE
Mitekita sanjou ni
Kotoba ha iranai
Tachimukau koto ga subete
Uketsuida hata no sashishimesu saki ni matsu no ha
Sore ha Shine of LIFE
Hora ima mo hakanaku kagayaite
This is the Shine of LIFE
There are no words needed to describe
every sorrow and torment
I will stand my ground and face the whole world
What awaits beyond the inherited banner guiding every step of our way
It is the Shine of LIFE
Still blazing ever so fleetingly even to this day
Arifureta monogatari mitai na
sekai ha doko ni
Egaita story
Hitoshirenu glory
Mogaki tsudzuketa towa ni kagayaku
Just like every story that has been ever told,
we leave our mark in this world
Yearning for our stories
and all the unseen glories
to radiantly blaze with these incessant woes for all time
それは Shine of LIFE
命を燃やしてく
答えはいらない
手にしたものが全て
抗えない運命に抗った先に見えたのは
それは Shine of LIFE
何より美しく輝いて
Sore ha Shine of LIFE
Inochi wo moyashiteku
Kotae ha iranai
Te ni shita mono ga subete
Aragaenai unmei ni aragatta saki ni mieta no ha
Sore ha Shine of LIFE
Nani yori utshukushiku kagayaite
That is the Shine of LIFE
The candle of our life burns so bright
Twisted answers be damned
Fervidly grasp all we've seen and felt
What I see beyond struggling against this indomitable fate we all face
It is the Shine of LIFE
emitting the most beautiful light there would ever be
I'm back with Sophia's Activation Day Mail for this year. First off, I'd like to apologize to everyone that I've missed one line on the second mail of Selena's Activation Day memoir. I've already added the missing line to the post so it should be everything now. Again, I apologize and I'll try to avoid this kind of flub in the future.
With 3 more celebrants this month, I hope everyone's looking forward to it as much as I do.
You can check how did Sophia celebrated her activation day this year since the big incident from Surviving Glimmer on the cut down below (*´▽｀*)
You are cordially invited to Adeliek's Gala
To Commander (Commander),
Writing you a letter like this feels a bit formal. But since you are someone important, Jamila told me that I should properly write a formal letter to you… Changyu taught me to use this. ...―I’ll just rewrite this again.
Dear (Commander), we’ve been― Thanks for always looking out for us. Time has moderately passed since the previous incident, but the Adeliek’s situation has changed lately and work for bodyguards have also increased…
I’m sorry. I can’t write that well. Jamila said that now is precisely the time everyone needs a boost to their spirits. Also, today is my “activation day.” Since it’s a day that should be celebrated, they’ve prepared a new model coating for me. On top of that, I was also nominated to be the party’s lead dancer. I hope that everyone who comes would feel a little better with this, even for just a bit.
(Commander), I would like to cordially invite you to our temporary base, as Adeliek’s representative. If you were to come, let’s watch over the Azil being rebuilt together.
Oh, and if it’s okay with you, I want you to also check the waste gas retrieval system’s B section. I’m in-charge with the main section, but I think it’s worth-seeing how you handle it. I’ll be waiting for your response.
The place is...―
From: Sophia’s Mail―Part 1
My bad, I forgot to tell you
I’m sorry, I was in a hurry that I forgot to write down where the party will be held. As an apology, I’ve also enclosed a maracas with this letter. I got it when I was still part of the maintenance team and I’ve used it every now and then when I started dancing. The sound it makes is really pretty. This isn’t a gift, it’s a token of apology. I won’t get it back, or am I looking for compensation in return. I just want you to have it. If you take good care of it, I’ll also pay for the storage fee―I’ll have to show you my gratitude for it.
If there comes a day that I’ll be able to dance freely one day, I’d like you to play this maracas for me. The people from the maintenance team who also used this had fun playing it. That’s why I think you’d also have fun with the maracas. Probably.
Please refer to the file attached with a coordinate for the party’s location.
We look forward to your arrival―
You definitely have to come, okay?
From: Sophia’s Mail―Part 2
Hey I hope everyone's having fun on the JP server with the Wintry Shackles update. I'm here with Selena's Activation Day Mail this year! Sophia's will be uploaded in the next few days so stay tuned for that.
That being said, how did Selena celebrate her activation day? You can learn more about it on the cut below (*´▽｀*)
From The World Administration's Arts Association
Hello, Commander. This letter is written by, yours truly, Ayla from the Arts Association.
Thanks to you, we just finished parsing the signal of the “Mermaid’s Song” you caught the other day. I wanted to send it to you immediately, but I thought I should do it today instead. Today is Selena’s Activation Day. Specifically, today is the day she decided to become a Structure and embark on a journey to seek out “the truth.” It’s a bit complicated in itself, but… That’s gonna be something to talk about some time in the future.
When we explored the terrain, there was an amber where the signal source of “Mermaid Song” was. This may be a guess, but I think Selena left it there. Hence, why I thought of handing it over to you. I don’t know why, but I believe that you should have this amber instead. Allow me to borrow this instance and also send a few things I wanna tell her.
Happy Activation Day, Selena!
From: Ayla’s Mail―Part 1
Parsed Information on the "Mermaid's Song"
“I don’t know what kind of place I’m at right now, nor do I know where I should head next. I cannot fathom how far my legs will take me as the horizon overlooking this world simply halts a boundless scenery.
…Suddenly, there are times where a melancholic emotion is about to well inside me. Even though I march on, the words hidden within the depths of my heart heedlessly speak. “Fiercely as this tempest flows, it seethes more restlessly. The torrential rain poured from the skies, capsizing the highest of towers and weather vanes on roofs like a downpour cascade.” I long for the fervor in my heart to be quenched and all that I felt be seized. Only then would I perhaps know where I must make headway, and yet…
Today is another day I’ve arrived in another unfamiliar place. I can hear the river flowing from the verdant hill, and the depths of this chasmic valley could echo the sounds of the violin well. Listening to the low rumbles of a waterfall stream, it makes me want to perform one song. Even though it wasn’t a proper stage to perform in or it is a place where there are any audiences, curtain calls and applause at the end, I… simply kept on playing until my heart was satisfied.
As I set aside this musical instrument, a sparrow brought a cerulean amber. Inside its resin was a flower I’ve never seen before. After staring at it for a while, I placed this small piece of jewel on the ground. I wish that it would convey emotions worth a thousand words. I hope that someone will pick this up someday. This I pray in my heart...
May this selfsame scenery I saw with my own two eyes also be reflected in the eyes of those people amid of their wayward pilgrim, just like how I experienced it.”

Alpha Crimson Dusk Image Song "Echo" Lyrics Translation
It's patch day on the JP servers and in celebration of Alpha's latest version, we were given the short JP version of her Crimson Dusk Image song on last week's live stream. Full access to the full version is now available on their official YT channel (≧▽≦)
You can read the translation on the cut down below (*‘∀‘)
Song Title: 鳴響 (Echo)
Sung by: Alpha (CV: Ishikawa Yui)
Composer: Ghost Final
Producer: Vanguard Sound Studio
Lyrical Editor: Kuroneko
言い訳だって 疑心だって
暁の闇描いて
決意の瞬間(とき)
心の鉄枷(くさり)を破って
Iiwake datte Gishin datte
Akatsuki no yami egaite
Ketsui no toki
Kokoro no kusari wo yabutte
All the apprehension, down to whys and where ofs
render the dusk surrounding daybreak's skies
In these crucial moments,
I will break the shackles binding my heart and fate
儚く見えた瞳
奥に宿る強き想い
おぼろなその面影
溶けゆく この深淵へ
Hakanaku mieta hitomi
Oku ni yadoru tsuyoki omoi
Oboro na sono omokage
Toketeyuku kono shin-en he
These eyes reflect the emptiness it sees
A spark resolute lies deep beyond this unease
The traces left have now been faint at best,
slowly sinking to the depths of this abyss
あの天穹（そら）を裂いた雷鳴
身にやどる枷断ち切れ
この太刀轟かせ
迷わずに道斬り拓け
Ano sora wo saita raimei
Mi ni yadoru kase tachikire
Kono tachi todorokase
Mayowazu ni michi kirihirake
A bolt of light cleaving through the heavens
breaks free these fetters deterring my limit
My blade recoils the wintry bonds
Cast aside the doubts, carve through a new path to take
偽りから 終わりから
罪の花は咲いてきた
気づいた瞬間(とき)
全ての縛りが裂かれた
Itsuwari kara Owari kara
Tsumi no hana ha saitekita
Kidzuita toki
Subete no shibari ga sakareta
'cause the lies have piled up, 'cause the end is nigh us,
scions of sin bloomed in crimson abyss
Once I was/ more aware,
All the binding shackles were sundered without trace
儚く見えた瞳
奥に宿る強き想い
おぼろなその面影
溶けゆく この深淵へ
Hakanaku mieta hitomi
Oku ni yadoru tsuyoki omoi
Oboro na sono omokage
Toketeyuku kono shin-en he
These eyes reflect the emptiness it sees
A spark resolute lies deep beyond this unease
The traces left have now been faint at best,
slowly sinking to the depths of this abyss
あの天穹（そら）を裂いた雷鳴
身にやどる枷断ち切れ
この太刀轟かせ
躊躇わず道を歩め
Ano sora wo saita raimei
Mi ni yadoru kase tachikire
Kono tachi todorokase
Tamerawazu michi wo ayume
A bolt of light cleaving through the heavens
breaks free these fetters deterring my limit
My blade recoils the wintry bonds
I walk this path beyond the shadow of doubts
あの天穹（そら）を裂いた雷鳴
深淵の闇を払え
この心 響かせ
恐れずに進め 未来へ
Ano sora wo saita raimei
Shin-en no yami wo harae
Kono kokoro hibikase
Osorezu ni susume Mirai he
The bolt of light cleaving through the heavens
shall disperse the deep-seated, hollow darkness
Roar loud like thunder, my steadfast soul
Fearlessly march to the future with a clear goal
Good day! Here’s the 3rd update of Chara Profiles I promised to post. It’s Bianca’s Physical S-Class Version! Voyage among Dregs update is a roller coaster ride of emotion for Bianca as a Character and the amount of shivers it sent me whether it was how KuroGe made it eerie or how the patch was released perfectly in time for the 2.5 Anniversary of the JP Server is just chef’s kiss. I’ll be working on Qu’s and hopefully get it done beore Spiral of Chronos update hits in along with one new project listing which is the Birthday Mails you get in game this year.
You can read more about Bianca in her A-Class Version’s Interlude Story here or on the cut down below!(*‘ω‘ *)
