Song title translations over here! > https://revolutionarygirlmarco.tumblr.c … apocalypse

Man I didn't know about the new album until these couple of days. I know IRG won't disappoint Thanks!!

I'm also curious about the lyrics... Would it be possible to ask someone who has the CD for huge favor and scan the lyrics if they're available?

When I get the CD, I will definitely either scan or transcribe the lyrics if no one else has by that point. I don't know when that will be, though; it might take a while since I ordered through a shopping service in order to get the bonus CD.

That's alright. Take your time. Thanks!!

Oh! In case you guys dunno yet, allegoriest did the translation for one of the songs, ç¦ æ›¸ç›®éŒ²â€•å¤©ä½¿å¹»è¦šã€Šå©¬é¬¼è«–ã€‹ç¯‡â€•Forbidden Book Catalogue―Angelic Hallucination 《Lewd Demonic Discourse》Compilation―.

You can check it out on their tumblr. It's pretty neat:

Ohh! Thank Allegoriest! Allegoriest translated the song because allegoriest is the most delicious of duelists.

Meanwhile I'm listening to the "complete version" of Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku, and... I am having trouble processing the fact that there is actually a huge chunk of lyrics that I never knew about until now.

I did a bing search for ファルサリア, and I actually managed to find out what it means and how it's written! It's Pharsalia, which is a Roman epic poem! It has an article on English Wikipedia.

I would probably translate the title as "I, Revolution, Pharsalia <<other word>> because there's no possessive particle and "Revolution" and "Pharsalia" are both nouns. It'd be great if someone really familiar with Japanese grammar would give an opinion on that, though.

Jisho.com (reliable online Japanese to English dictionary) tells me that the last bits are each is made up of two words: one two-kana compound and then 譜, which means, basically, (written) record: specifically, it's used for records of games like chess and Go, for sheet music, and for family trees. I was curious as to whether it was used in evolutionary biology as well, and the answer is yes, sometimes, though there are more specific terms for "phylogenetic tree" and "cladogram."

Origin Record works fine, but if you want to convey ancestry (and still have it end in 'record' like the other title) you could go with Ancestry Record.

変身 is difficult to translate because it refers to the biological process of metamorphosis, but it's also the word used for "transformation" in super sentai and magical girl shows; it's not very specific. I'd probably go with "transformation" as well. ...Well, actually... thesaurus.com suggests "transmutation" and that has the bonus of bringing up associations with alchemy, but it's totally up to you.

As for the track titles... I feel like I should tell you at this point that the translation of the title of Tsuwabuki's duel song (soundtrack 2, track 5) in our audiology section has a mistake. アルシブラ isn't algebra; it's... archibras; you can see this doing a Google search for the katakana (that's how I found out, except with bing). An archibras is... well, this French writer named Charles Fourier thought that eventually humankind would advance towards a state of perfection that would include... an archibras, which is a word he made up for... a tail with an eye and a claw on its end. It is super obscure and not something people can be expected to know about. My best guess as to why it's in the song title is that it has to do with the "absolute man" idea the song conveys.

The book "archibras" was coined in was A New Amorous World, but unfortunately, I couldn't find anything about an English translation of that.

Oh man, it sounds like they use the same melody at the end of the bonus edition of The Inversion of Me and My Room that they used at the end of Earth as a Character Gallery in CD 4, huh?

Mainly for my own avidly burning interest and to test my almost non-existant grasp of Japanese, I decided to try and '''''translate'''' the fourth song on the album: https://sta.sh/06lrqwfon3t If you thought Seazer was done with prehistorical metaphors after Paleozoic Within the Body, think again.
I know next to nothing about Japanese grammer so I'm only really sharing this in case it would be of use to any more experianced translator in any way.

The Japanese text is copied and pasted from the PDF that Gio provided, but I can't vouch for it myself because I translated from the original scan instead (my computer was being slow with the PDF file)
I'm tempted to have a go at a couple of the other simpler seeming songs like My Real Me Is Scattered or maybe Baroque Rock, simply because I'm dying to know what they're about - if I do I'll post those as well if anyone else is interested or would like to proofread anything.

omg I love you all

This album seems to me very much in line with the other one, OST 7. I know it's like...almost but not clearly SKU though, in this case. But I feel like the cover is definitely of Utena and Anthy, so that's that.

For you translator kids, the cd booklet in the new site section (ohtori.nu/resources) has all the song lyrics for the first 8 albums.

Someone else translated this album's version of Absolute Destiny Apocalypse! Here's the post with some additional commentary: https://revolutionarygirlmarco.tumblr.c … 8%E7%89%88.
That's right where I was in translating the CD myself, so everything up to this point has been translated now (I'm still working in the document I linked to earlier)... though I haven't yet gone back over the lyrics I translated and made thorough notes.
