playing catch-up

[insaneneko]

Been trying to catch up with comments, have gotten through some but not nearly all yet. ;_;

Also, a meme I've been putting off for long enough:

Reply and I'll give you a letter and you have to find five songs that start with that letter and post them to your journal.

I got R from svz_insanity. I tried to pick songs I probably haven't shared before:

Rinnetensei by Core of Soul

Been meaning to share this for ever and ever, but I was having problems translating it (I like the lyrics) and, well, forgot about it until now:


リンネテンセイ

昨日が前世のようで
明日が来世のようで
今どこにいるのかも
よくわからないけれど

明日もまた出逢えたらこう言おうね

愛してる
それだけが
合い言葉

I will see you again　生まれ変わっても
ほくろ星と
歌声
目印に
きっと見つけ出して
リンネテンセイ　with you

あなたがいなくなるか
私が先逝くとき
。。。笑っていいから聞いてね
時の旅人よ

後を追わずに信じて生きようね

なんになる
まだ知らぬ
次の　life
I will see you again　生まれ変わっても
側にいたい
短い人生をずっと繰り返して

Rinnetensei

kinou ga zense no you de
ashita ga raise no you de
ima doko ni irunokamo
yokuwakaranaikeredo

ashita mo mata deaetara kou iou ne

aishiteru
soredakega
aikotoba

I will see you again umarekawattemo
hokuroboshi to
utagoe
mejirushi ni
kitto mitsukedashite
rinnetensei with you

anata ga inakunaru ka
watashi ga saki ikutoki
...waratte ii kara kiite ne
toki no tabibito yo

ato wo owazu ni shinjite ikiyou ne

nan ni naru
mada shiranu
tsugi no life
I will see you again umarekawattemo
soba ni itai
mijikai jinsei wo zutto kurikaeshite

Circle of Transmigration

Yesterday was like a past life
Tomorrow is like the next life
I don't really know
Where I am now

If we meet again tomorrow, let's say this

I love you
That's all
Our password

I will see you again
Even if we're reincarnated
With a beauty mark
and your singing voice
As signs
I will surely find you
And go through the circle of transmigration with you

When you are no longer here
Or when I go first
...You can laugh, but listen
Oh, traveller of time

Let's believe and live, without following the other

The next life
We don't know how it will turn out yet
I will see you again
Even if we're reincarnated
I want to be with you
Living our short lives over and over forever


Rise and Shine by Bonnie Pink
Upbeat and disgustingly catchy song from her Golden Tears album.

Reila by Gazette
Catchy rock song from a group I've never heard of. I love the piano riff.

Redemption by Gackt
From the game Dirge of Cerebus, I initially didn't like this song but after hearing it a lot I've come to like it quite a bit.

Razor Valentine by Thea Gilmore
I thought I was going with an all-Japanese list, but I had to include this one. I love the slow, funky feel of the song, the scratchy old record sound, and the bizarre lyrics:

I love you like a whisper
I love you all alone
I love you like a murder babe
I'm burying the bones
I love you like the last shot
At the bottom of the bottle
I love you razor valentine

If anyone wants to play, just ask!
