Babelfish is horrible, especially at Japanese. "The it is, and others festival"??! LOL Reminds me of the time I put something in and got "It is the is." I shit you not.

Anyway, here's a slightly better translation, w/ romanizations just for extra fun:

1. Opening Title (oopuningu taitoru)
2. Linda Linda (rinda rinda)
3. After School (houkago)
4. Scenery of 4 People (yonin no fuukei)
5. My Right Hand (boku no migite)
6. Early Afternoon One Day (aru hi no hirusagari)
7. April Mirage
8. Holly Festival (hiiragi matsuri)
9. SAYONARA-NOSTALGIA
10. Blown by the Wind (kaze ni fukarete)
11. Cat Walk
12. Important Time (taisetsu na jikan)
13. Son's Dream (son no yume) *
14. Kei, Kyouko and Nozomi (kei to kyouko to nozomi) *
15. The Evening Road Home (yuugure no kaerimichi)
16. Dazzling Afternoon (mabayui gogo)
17. The Water is Wide
18. Gentle/kind Time (yasashii jikan)
19. Wanderer/Vagabond (fuuraibou)
20. 3:30p.m.
21. Unending Song (owaranai uta)

* The 4 main characters' names are Son (the Korean girl- rhymes with zone, not 'sun'), Kei, Kyouko, and Nozomi. Babelfish is pretty bad at recognizing proper names.

Original tracklist for ID3 purists (including cover art) is here.


Observations: Haven't seen the movie, but I've seen the trailers, and HOLY SHIT- the Linda Linda song is INSANELY popular over here [in Japan]. Seems to be popular as a drinking song, too. They've even got it on Taiko no Tatsujin at the arcades. Imagine my surprise when I show up here randomly & find out that fucking JAMES did the rest of the soundtrack. o_O; I need to keep up more... -_-;


PS: working on trying to get a new DB server set up for spfc, since the old one that keeps crashing is at my old work (on a machine I have no access to), and my emails pleading for someone to restart the freakin' thing have gone ignored for like, a month. Sorry for anyone who's missed it... -_-;

that's some elite translation work.

[mistle]

cool. i've been wondering where all the japanese fans were at

japan!

[kittykat1979]

Yeah, i've got this cd, it's not too bad. In the liner notes it mentions some of the other projects that James has been doing recently, including writing the ending theme for a movie called 'the tesseract'... does anyone out there have this?

[Cool As Ice Cream]

Thanks for the translations.
