+Hamasaki Ayumi - YOU
+Crystal Kay - Kitto
+Kobukuro - Donna Sora demo
Yay requests all fulfilled. My laptop is going in for repairs (FINALLY, took them FOREVER to admit that the disc drive was, in fact, broken), so I might be kind of AWOL for a while. Hooray.
06-25-10
+KOKIA - Birth
+KOKIA - Sekai no Owari ni
+KOKIA - Tsumihoroboshi no Uta
+Amuro Namie - SWEET 19 BLUES
I'm finally almost caught up with KOKIA's lyrics, and she releases another single. Must. Get. I'm up to her most recent album, REAL WORLD, which is definitely my favorite, even more so than THE VOICE. Gawd, how could one person be so freaking awesome without just exploding?
Since I'm so close to finishing (at least in my mind, until I look at the list of songs I have yet to translate, plus requests, eep, and manga translating, double eep), I think I'm going to start a grander project, to translate Amuro Namie, Hamasaki Ayumi, and Utada Hikaru's discographies. What do you think?

Not dead, not chainsaw juggling.
Hey dudes and dudettes, I'm still alive. I had a bunch of files I had just been too lazy to format sitting around, so even though I've been crazy busy (moving, going to France for a week, moving AGAIN with my office), I wanted to assure you that I'm still updating the site, and longing for things to settle down so I can get back to translating. I know many of you are waiting on Skip Beat 157, but I honestly don't know when I'm going to have time to get to it. *Flight attendant voice* We thank you for your continued patience.

+Aikawa Nanase - midnight blue
+Hamasaki Ayumi - until that Day...
I translated midnight blue a long time ago, uploaded it to the site, and there was some sort of error and it became a blank page, and I hadn't saved the file. Hopefully that won't happen again because I'm sick of translating that song.

+KOKIA - Kono Mune no Kurushimi ga Itooshii Hodo ni Ikite
+KOKIA - Senka no Hana
I've been CRAZY busy lately, but I wanted to make time to do some translating because it calms me. KOKIA's new album, REAL WORLD, just came out the other day. It's AWESOME. I think I may love it more than The Voice, and that is saying something.
03-25-10
+KOKIA - Douke
+KOKIA - Gematoria
+KOKIA - Yoake~rebirth
I don't know if you could call it a "translation" for Gematoria so much as a cop out. Sorry, guys, the code-breakers are still working on that one.

It's been a while, hey? Sometimes life catches up with you and the world of the internet has to take a backseat. KOKIA's coming out with a new album at the end of the month, so I'd better do some catching up myself!

What? Is it Chanukah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa all on the same day? Yes, yes, leave your sacrificial goats and garlands on the landing, please.
Yeah those first few pages were a breeze, WHOO I'M GONNA FINISH THIS IN RECORD TIME, and then HEY. PAGE 14, YOU CAN DIE IN A FIRE. I never want to zoom in that far on anything ever again. Don't you even start with me on the technical names for anatomy right now. I will cut you.

If I ever get around to it). I've got some requests to keep me busy for a while. If you ever have anything crazy that no one has ever heard of and you want to sing along, I'm your (wo)man!

Yay, I'm back on the wagon! It feels good to be productive. I really want to redesign the site, but I have few skillz, so it takes me forever and there's lots of frustrated screaming at the computer. It's almost the 1 year anniversary of the site, and I can't just keep updating this main page all sloppy like. If you have some crazy awesome web designing skills and don't mind working for free (or for drawings. . .I draw, too!), I would love to hear from you at unrelatedwaffle [at] gmail.

+Skip Beat 151 TRANSLATION
I'm truly sorry for the delay, everybody, but real life does get in the way sometimes all the time. My big project at work is over, so I can focus a little more on my own stuff when I get home again, including requests. Enjoy, albeit totally belatedly!
01-11-10
Yep, no update yet. I was 2/3 done with the Skip Beat translation and for some reason, the file I have saved is missing the last 6, very text-dense pages. >8(! やる気なくなるよ. I'm also crazy busy at my day job right now, so when I get home I can't even look at a computer screen anymore. I don't blame you if you go elsewhere for this chapter, but I've promised myself I'd finish it. . .eventually. It's not like it was that exciting, anyway, right? *nervous laugh*
01-03-10
+Amuro Namie - The Meaning of Us
Happy New Year! I've been slacking what with the long weekend, festivities, etc. Hopefully I'll get back on the translating wagon this week. I'm 2/3 done with the latest Skip Beat chapter, although I'm sure most of you have gone elsewhere by now. Oh well! Be patient!

A couple days early, even! Thank you, internet. I must make a special note not to use this translation without my express permission. There was some kerfuffle with the last chapter and there were some hurt feelings on all sides. Let's all just enjoy manga and not make it a competition.

+KOKIA - Chiisa na Uta
+KOKIA - Nanimo kamo ga Hoshi ni Natte
+KOKIA - Watashi ni Dekiru koto
I urge you, if you've never heard it, to listen to Watashi ni Dekiru koto, especially if you're feeling down and alone and like no one understands you. One of the things I really love about Kokia is that she really does care about the world, and strangers, and wants to give something to mankind through her music. None of us are really alone, and I'm not talking in the creepy "deity of your choice is always watching you" kind of way.

10-02-09
NEWS: I have moved all Skip Beat translations to pineapple pizza, which was my old manga translation site in high school and college, and I'm just going to update manga translations there from now on. Blue Light is dedicated to lyric translations, and the layout is geared towards that. Be sure to check both sites often for frequent updates!
+Kimi ni Todoke Episode 20 Translation - on pineapple pizza
I just got into Kimi ni Todoke, oh, last weekend, and it has CONSUMED MY LIFE. I'm anxiously awaiting a Bessatsu Margaret from October so I can read the latest ultimate climactic chapter, so I needed some way to satisfy that need for KnT.

Well, the raws for Skip Beat 146 making the rounds are Chinese, not Japanese, and the nearest Japanese bookstore won't have the latest Hana to Yume for a month, so I guess I'm not translating this one (unless one of you kind souls has the Japanese raws). Oh well, it wasn't such a great chapter anyway. More KOKIA, plugging along...

Long time no see, eh? I'm trying to improve my French a little because I'm applying to grad school in that field, and Japanese keeps interfering. I'm really jittery (but productive!) today because I had that Tazo "Awake" tea. My caffeine tolerance has totally debased. I had no idea how much caffeine was in that tea before I drank it, and now I'll never drink it again. *zoom*
09-03-09
+LISA - Bad Men
+Hamasaki Ayumi - Haru yo, Koi
+Hamasaki Ayumi - NEVER EVER
Bad Men is a hilarious song. I'm sad I couldn't find the lyrics for the ad-libbed parts. Maybe I'll go back and add them from listening later, because "Fuck it, bring the hook back!" is just too funny. Definitely a pick-me-up.
And "Haru yo, Koi" is not originally by Hamasaki Ayumi, but that's the version I own, so that's where I'm sticking the lyrics.

Thankfully, there wasn't a lot of teeny tiny text, and this chapter was interesting, so I got to it in a timely fashion. Enjoy! And for the person who spoiled the chapter by posting a goddamn YOUTUBE VIDEO of it that came up on google's main page, please DIAF.
P.S. If anyone has Bom Bom or CARE, I'd looove to hear them ;D Let me know if you do, they're on less well-known albums that aren't purchasable anymore.

+KOKIA - Whisper
+KOKIA - Hana
When I wasn't trying to translate all of KOKIA's songs, she took like two years to release a new album. Now that I'm trying desperately to catch up, she releases every two months. Not that I'm complaining, but I guess I'd better keep trucking along if you all want her to keep releasing.

All last month I was studying for the GRE, and now I'm free! Well, except from grad school applications. To those of you still waiting for the translation of the latest Skip Beat chapter, I'm working on it.

Hi, everyone. I know you're waiting patiently (or not so patiently) for the translation to Skip Beat 143, but I had a very busy weekend, so I didn't have time to get to it. It will definitely be finished tomorrow, so just hold on for a little longer!

Whooo, enjoy! I thought I would have updated the site layout by this time. Shows how much I know. To those of you that have made requests, rest assured, I'm working on them.
06-08-09
+KOKIA - Kirari
Wow, guys, I am totally overwhelmed by the amount of traffic that Skip Beat translation generated. Thank you so much. I hope you all enjoyed it. I was also contacted by FrankyHouse to use it in their *ahem*unauthorized*ahem* adaptation. I couldn't be more flattered.
I've also been inspired to revamp the site's layout, making it easier for me to update and add new sections, but I'm easily frustrated by HTML and CSS, so we'll see how long that takes me. I'll probably spend more time making the banner than coding the pages, knowing me.
06-05-09

I love Skip Beat, and I'm sick of seeing subpar, hard-to-read translations out there. So here you are, manga lovers. When I'm not too lazy, I'll put up a manga section on the site.

KOKIA's lyrics prior to 2003 are ridiculously hard to find. You'd think goo music would be all over that, but really they don't care about anything released before The Power of Smile, for some reason. I have no reliable source for "melody," and I'm sick of searching for it. If you happen to have the original insert, and could scan it for me, please let me know.

For some reason, Kienai Negai does not want to use the CSS. I have tried everything, and I've pretty much given up. I only copy and paste my lyrics into the same damn format every time, but this time it just freaked out and won't use it. I don't know, it's insane, and I'm sick of trying to deal with it. The lyrics are there, it's just not pink and beautiful, haHA.

Welcome to Blue Light Translations. I know the layout is pink, but I just felt like it. Don't ask me why this site is called what it is, because it just popped into my head as I was making the folder for it. I'm sure it's already a copyrighted name or some such, and I'll be forced to change it one day.
I'm truly lazy when it comes to coding layouts, and I just wanted to get some translations up and raring to go, so hopefully the content will outweighany aesthetic expectations you had.
