Kanji:

電子の海　沈みゆく
暗き闇に　落ちてゆく
逆さ吊りの街に立つ
冷たさに　目を奪われた

仮面　かむり　偽りの
姿　写し　身を焼かん
殻の外は　ひび割れる
哀しさに　抗える鼓動

chain of lie, your love, your heart
あの日の君のように　仮面に伏せ
chain of lie, your love, your heart
形の無いモノに　名前をつけた

君は誰の為にある
血よ　廻りて　甦れ
愛に生きて　時を駆け
君よ　嗚呼　その胸にあれ

change your life, your love, your heart
繰り返す　終わりに　別れを告げ
change your life, your love, your heart
生まれた時のように　名前をつけた　嗚呼

溢れる想いは　そう　君を待つ　運命　引き寄せる　希望
この過ちを断つ　この真実を得る　時は来た

Romaji:

Denshi no umi shizumiyuku
Kuraki yami ni ochiteyuku
Sakasazuri no machi ni tatsu
Tsumetasa ni me wo ubawareta

Kamen kamuri itsuwari no
Sugata utsushi mi wo yakan
Kara no soto ha hibiwareru
Kanashisa ni aragaeru kodou

chain of lie, your love, your heart
Ano hi no kimi no you ni kamen ni fuse
chain of lie, your love, your heart
Katachi no nai MONO ni namae wo tsuketa

Kimi ha dare no tame ni aru
Chi yo megurite yomigaere
Ai ni ikite toki wo kake
Kimi yo ahh sono mune ni are

change your life, your love, your heart
Kurikaesu owari ni wakare wo tsuge
change your life, your love, your heart
Umareta toki no you ni namae wo tsuketa ahh

Afureru omoi ha sou kimi wo matsu unmei hikiyoseru kibou
Kono ayamachi wo tatsu kono shinjitsu wo eru toki ha kita

I finally found someone’s posting of the raw lyrics of Killer Song, Owari no Sekai kara, and Kimi ni airplane, so here’s the romaji and stuff. And kanji as well. I’m not too confident in making a translation without anything to check against, so… Yeah.

I never actually heard anything about this new collaboration between Maeda Jun and Yanagi Nagi, Flaming June, until I saw its release on Comiket 81. When I saw “麻枝准ｘやなぎなぎ”, I just had to have a listen, and man, totally blown away. The lyrics really give off this very Maeda Jun-like bittersweetness, and musically speaking, Killer Song carries a very Girls Dead Monster-esque vibe, Owari no Sekai kara has more of a general Key feel, while Kimi no airplane is one of the few ballads I’ve really liked. But enough about that. All you need you know is that it’s a godly awesome collaboration.

Hit the jump for the actual lyrics!

To be absolutely blunt, I joined up the Secret Santa Project because I’ve been running out of steam for this blog for the past, year or so. Maybe it’s just in need of a reboot. But anyway. The Secret Santa Project is a little thing by Reverse Thieves, it’s a nice way to get random people to watch semi-random shows. In particular shows that person A thought person B ought to have watched, but didn’t for some reason or another.

The three shows I was given by my person A were:

• Kimi ga Nozomu Eien
• Nyan Koi!
• Potemayo

Prologue
Yeah, actually these came at a pretty awkward time. On the day of my thesis defense, just November 4, I was thinking of getting myself a reward if we passed with flying colors (i.e. pass with revisions). I was thinking of getting something not-so-cheap, not-so-expensive, and these fit the bill quite nicely. I was also thinking of the HD-330 from the same company, but from what I’ve heard, this can’s one of the most balanced, nicest-sounding ones so what the hey. Since my defense was schedulded pretty late, I kinda thought of just jumping to gun and getting them beforehand. Anyway, a lot of stuff happened along the way, like me being late because I got them. But anywho, now they’re here.
By the way, I’m not affiliated with Superlux or any of its distributors. Not that I would mind. And I just grabbed the rest of the pictures below off Google image search, plus the Superlux site and Headroom for the graphs.

So how are they?

What started out as an inside-joke from a random comment has somehow turned into this.

That is all.

And yes, no one has yet to claim those wife spots.
