Hello, hello~! I'm very happy to finally share my translations for the Tsuki Kagetsu pamphlet~
Tsuki Kagetsu is onmyouji-themed, and its world is filled with mysterious forces, spirits, and the people who keep it in control.
It has pretty dark undertones too, which is really enjoyable and offers a lot of food for thought in terms of theories and headcanons!
Lore-wise, it is implied to be very political, but aside from bits and pieces shown through the characters' lores, it doesn't dive too deep into it. (Although I wish it did LMAO)
Either way, it establishes a strong lore while still leaving some stuff up to interpretation so fans can have fun with it~!
Like with every other AGF theme, I am once again saying that I wish to see it adapted on stage someday, too!
(I have not given up on Picatrix stage yet...!😂)
Thank you to Rakuen for helping me get my copy~!
Notes, and masterpost under the cut, enjoy~!
A few notes:
A bit of a trigger warning:
There are multiple mentions of death, near-death experiences, and abuse (specifically child abuse) in the lore, so please be mindful as you read.
The characters have two sets of quotes, one from the picture uploaded on Twitter, and then there's the quote in the pamphlet.
I've labeled them "Pictured Quote (Twitter Quote)" and "Pamphlet Quote" respectively, to avoid confusion.
All character pictures and designs are property of TsukiPro and the respective artists.
I do not claim ownership of them whatsoever. I only did the translations.
If any of the links are wonky (not working or linking to the wrong file), please don't hesitate to send me an ask/DM so I can update!
※ Please don’t re-post and re-translate these without permission!!!
If you enjoyed this, please consider buying me a ko-fi here to support my work! It’ll be a really big help. (o^▽^o)
I am also open for comms if anyone's interested. Thank you!
It's time for Tsukipro units' new visuals! Every other year, they get new illustrations in their new stage costumes. SOARA and Growth character designs are by Tohiro (@tohiro1 on Twitter). SOARA's comments are below!
---------
Ohara Sora: "All right everyone... Let's go~‼️Make some noise❗"
Arihata Morihito: "Even though we're already adults, let's leap out, youth! Thank you for supporting SOARA!"
Kagurazaka Soushi: "Alright let's do this, everyone."
Munakata Ren: "Don't forget your original intentions, and don't take the fundamentals for granted. Always be courteous!"
Nanase Nozomu: "Heyo! Are you guys enjoying our music~? 🎶"
This is a drawing I made for Tsukipro secret santa on Twitter. I don't know why but recently Ryota is my muse in Growth. I really want to draw him in various costume and theme. And since all Growth song fits my aesthetic I just enjoy drawing this while looping all their song.
黄昏のメロディア (tasogare no melodia) - lyrics&translation
hello! this is my first post on this account, but i’ll keep it short. i’m going to post my future projects here, mostly translations of various tsukipro songs. english is not my first language and i am not fluent in japanese yet, so if you spot any mistakes by all means tell me! the ask box is always open.
regarding this particular translation, tasogare no melodia has always been my favourite growth song - it perfectly encapsulates what i love about the unit and is, first and foremost, a beautiful piece of music. the lyrics make me feel a particular sort of way every time i listen to it, so i hope i managed to convey that with my translation too!
kanji lyrics are taken from llamalikesarah.blogspot.com
translation&lyrics under the cut
祭りの宵 賑わい
通りに並ぶ 匂い
悩みも ひととき忘れ去って
結ばれた人々の幸せ 祈る
This evening’s festival is bustling
Delicious smells fill the streets
It’s as if you could leave all your worries behind
I pray for everyone’s happiness
The wind rustles the rice fields
The rain brings about a blessing
A group of children frolics around
I embrace tightly the warmth of these passing days
I will replay this melody to you
For as long as it takes, as long as it takes, I’ll be waiting here
If I can’t do that, the promised sound will cower
There is nothing here, nothing here, in this place
The flowing patterns on the water
Accentuate vivid colors of the berries
The wrinkles on these hands increase
With each wonderful meeting
遠く 丘になずむ 煙り
与えられた 糧と共に
いのち結ぶ 記憶 伝えてゆくよ
The smoke forever tied to the faraway hills
Simultaneously bestows sustenance
And transmits memories binding the people
言葉じゃなくて 心から愛し合えたら
どんなときも どんなときも 辛くない
また明日ねと つぶやいた 黄昏ぼっち
何にもない 何にもない この場所で
If we learn how to love not with words, but from our hearts
No matter when, no matter when, it won’t be hard
Muttering “see you tomorrow” at the quickly fading dusk
There’s nothing here, nothing here, in this place
This shapeless light emanating from these gathered stones
Is like lightning that’s struck my chest
Meetings, then partings
Sinking, then resurfacing
Once again, we meet by chance
I will replay this melody to you
For as long as it takes, as long as it takes, I’ll be waiting here
If I can’t do that, the promised sound will cower
There is nothing here, nothing here, in this place
Right now, my eyes don’t reflect you
But no matter what, no matter what, I will not forget
“Goodbye, see you”, smiling at dusk
There’s nothing here, nothing here, in this place
[Download] ALIVE Movie: SOARA -Let It Be- English Subtitles
The wait is over! This was my first time subbing a movie all by myself~ Thank you so much to @ryota-kunstranslations for proofreading and helping catch the fast, mumbling lines lol.
This took a little longer to finish than I had hoped since life got in the way, and even with the pandemic I couldn’t wfh. By the time I got home I’d be too mentally drained to sit and translate stuff. Little by little, I managed to finally finish and here we are~
Link to the subtitle file is below the cut. There’s also a link to a copy of the movie hardsubbed which I ripped from my own DVD in case you don’t have the video file yourself! With things not quite back to normal in the world, I hope I can spread some positivity and ease boredom. (Just please do not reupload the video, thank u)
