So, as I previously announced, words of love is moving and has now become jrocktrans.

As I am moving entries that I have posted here to over there, I am deleting them from here. So, you may (or may not) have noticed the number of articles on here is slowly diminishing. In the end, all that is left will be this post.

I think this will be my final post on here, so I say:

Farewell! And thank you for visiting words of love!
I hope I will see you at jrocktrans!
moo.

aaaaand she’s back. kinda.

Look who’s back.

So, I started this great journey… I left this blog for a different provider. Then I started coding a website, and then I started making a website on a few different places like weebly, and then I came back to wordpress…. and I started a new blog and played around with it and things are turning out the way I want them to. So, I ended up back at wordpress but I have a different URL and name for the site and myself now. You can read all about that at over there…

My new NEW home

I’m slowly moving over all of my translations onto the new site because a lot of them are undergoing a revision process. I hope you like it

[Tatsuro] Hybrid Combat Interview vol. 13 Guest: jealkb (part one)

ame — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 08:26:02 +0000

Don’t worry, this is the first time you have seen this series on this site, and it is the 13th volume. I’ll go back and do the other 12 later. I felt like translating something Mucc related and I hadn’t read this one yet, so I was translating as I read this.

This is a series that BARKS has going on, where Tatsuro has an interview/conversation with another musician. The concept is “hybrid” so usually, the opponent is from a different genre but this time, it’s jealkb. The interview is like 3 pages long, and this is most of the first page, so look out for at least 2 more posts after this. (Hopefully, I will complete this by the end of this week… Let’s pray I do! haha)

This article has been moved.

[VAMPS] 4ROOMS Radio 5/12/2010

Long time no update. (Sorry, it’s not hyde’s interview… I haven’t started that yet and I’m super busy with school ><) Just have this small bit, from one of many VAMPS radio appearances. I couldn’t listen to it obviously, but this was on their site so I did a quick and dirty translation. Go to the site and you will also be able to see a photo. (See HYDE’s new blonde hair?) It’s 3 AM so sorry if there are sentence fluency issues.

4ROOMS Radio 5/12/2010

PARCO PEOPLE FILE
Today’s guests are HYDE-san and K.A.Z-san of VAMPS, who just released their new single “DEVIL SIDE” today!!

Q: Do you come to Shibuya?
“[I (or possibly we?)] walked around here with Acid Black Cherry’s yasu-kun looking for shoes.”

Q: Please tell us a devil side of each other.
HYDE: Apparently, he was really scary in the past. Even though he has a laid-back image now.
K.A.Z: He’s like a mischievous kid. More of a sadistic side rather than devil side. When he speaks during lives, he teases our fans.

Q: Which iPhone app do you recommend?
“The one that I find most important is the mic that is installed by default. I use it for composing. I bought a voice recorder for composing purposes but it was difficult to use. The iPhone one is easier to use and the sound is good. So there’s a lot in there. I just take this with me and go to the park to write lyrics.”

Q: Today was also the release date for live DVD “VAMPS LIVE 2009″! What kind of DVD is it?
“It contains the tour final from last year and also has a documentary. It’s worth seeing.”

And now, Ishida quiiiiiz!! [Ishida is one of the MCs]
VAMPS’ debut date was July 2, 2008. On that day, 62 years ago on July 2, 1946, a renown Japanese comedian was born! Now, who is this comedian?
“Kiyoshi Yasushi!”
That’s correct—-

HYDE: “Despair awaits you at the goal!” [= a line said by Kamen Rider Accel when executing a "Maximum Drive attack" from the TV series "Kamen Rider W"] I’m VAMPS’ HYDE and
K.A.Z: I’m K.A.Z.
HYDE: Umm we’re composing right now,
K.A.Z: Yes.
HYDE: Well, I’m the one composing, but, umm, it seems we are going overseas for recording soon.
K.A.Z: Yes.
HYDE: The most troublesome part about going overseas is [not having] the washlet.
K.A.Z: (Nods)
HYDE: Also, umm, Japanese food.
K.A.Z: Yeah.
HYDE: It’s sad that we won’t be able to eat Japanese food.
K.A.Z: Also, the shower doesn’t work that well sometimes.
HYDE: Yeah, sometimes it doesn’t drain well either. One time, all of it came out.
K.A.Z: All of what?
HYDE: All of the sewage came back up.
K.A.Z: Ahhh~…
(. . .Silence. . .)
K.A.Z:The water system…
HYDE: The water system…
K.A.Z: is weak.
HYDE: Yeah. Is there something you’re looking forward to?
K.A.Z: Umm, the place we’re going to is a bit on the countryside, so it might be nice to take walks, in the morning.
HYDE: Yeah. I hope we can make a good song.
K.A.Z: Yeah.
HYDE: Well, that’s pretty much why we’re going anyway. I hope you’re looking forward to it. Ne?
K.A.Z: Yes.
HYDE: So, this was VAMPS’ HYDE and
K.A.Z: K.A.Z.

I wonder where they’re going…?
