Which series should I do first?
Translyrics.exe
Hello, I go by exe around here. I'm pretty much new to everything and spend my time flitting between singing, writing translyrics, and transcribing pretty piano covers (ayano's theory of happiness, summertime record) but almost never finish anything. I usually upload my things onto box.com, but I'm trying to keeping track of my stuff here too.
For those who've done this often, do you have any tips? I try to match accents on syllables, but it gets hard to do sometimes so all I can manage sometimes is to keep the general meaning of the song but not its specific content. What do you think is the most important aspect of writing translyrics? Is rhyming necessary?

EDIT (2015/04/08): woah it's been a while....

- World Domination How-To (ハウトゥー世界征服)-unfinished:
Who's the person wearing tears on their face almost every day?
Fighting mocking laughs twice as hard, brush them all away
At the moment what I wish,
Is for them to not exist
Before long it wasn't knives or explosives in my hands
Let us make a promise that no matter what life throws at us
We won't settle to be just a number in the dust
Every day is all the same,
Living life without an aim
But it's still too soon to give up on this race
Now today, at the terminal station I
Stop and stare as they pass on by
Tomorrow's me stops and stares at this future, unsure
Who will be the one,
The stupid one,
The selfish one,
Who answers to none?

Re: Translyrics.exe
starting mousou zei even though jougen isn't finished yet because the bridge and chorus is stumping me. the odd number of lines make a rhyming scheme really awkward in some places... arghh
Re: Translyrics.exe
Do you think you can link to the songs, too? ^ ^ That way we know which song it is since sometimes there are repeat names.
Re: Translyrics.exe
^__^ No problem. I just wanted to make sure since there is a Tackey and Tsubasa song also called Jougen no Tsuki. I like your lyrics for that song by the way!
Re: Translyrics.exe
thanks! :DD
i tried to make it more poetic as befitting such a beautiful song...but i failed

Re: Translyrics.exe
Let me know when you're done with Jougen no Tsuki. >w< I'd love to give it a shot. It's such a nice song!
Re: Translyrics.exe
of course! though that may take a while, because i have a huge list of songs i want to do and just thinking about jougen saps my determination...
in other news, drowning in a wave of sadness has been added! giving up on rhyming for now with this one; too many syllables ;~;

Re: Translyrics.exe
your lyrics are really good. kudos.
just take your time - can't rush creativity, after all.
would you mind if i started up a groupdub using your credited translyrics sometime in the distant future?

Re: Translyrics.exe
thank you <33 i don't know why but i've been churning out lyrics pretty quickly recently, despite being stuck on jougen, which is good. i think i'll try working on it tomorrow again...
and i don't mind the groupdub at all! it's an honour *sparkles* (let me join too~~~)
also, updated: drowning in a wave of sadness, done! (but changes may be made)
next: finish jougen, and start world domination how-to!

Re: Translyrics.exe
i added a short self-cover of jougen, if anyone's interested in hearing how it sounds >w<
Re: Translyrics.exe
>w< thank you!
you'd be surprised how easy it is to write translyrics. it just takes a lot of effort to make it good enough that others don't need a ref to sing it.

...enjoy <3
- lyrics:
i'm truly glad that you appeared to me, in a time when i felt lost at sea
and yet i know this time together we spent was meant to come to an end
and now this heart of mine carries our memories, bittersweet,
towards a goodbye we've always known; once again i'll walk alone
if i was told that to stay by your side, i would have to live another's life
then i would rather turn myself to a stone, content to pond-skip when thrown
avoiding matters deep, across the waters i will leap
and if i should sink or if i drown, at least i won't drag you down
all i wish is for the thoughts in my head to have reached you,
why can't my feelings bridge this gap
bravery deserts me and choking past my throat
are excuses, that you'll "never understand"
somehow through no fault of yours, somewhere along the way,
you gave me more credit, more than what i deserve
so please tell me, why me?
all this sadness deep within me, this weakness in me,
i bear them without complaint
if you were to smile right at me, i'd smile back at you,
despite the pain that remained
now the world, once blurred in my sight -
it melts in my sight, these murky layers of ice
this miracle flooding through me, sets my heart aflame
the warmth of your voice floods through me, calling out my name
if i was told that you would drift astray, wander aimlessly and lose your way
if i could find another to take your place; i wonder - would my heart race?
avoiding matters plain, we turn a blind eye to the strain
and if this should play out once again, at least we'll still laugh then
all of my prayers and all of my promises
can't do anything to frightening dreams:
small things they multiply and grow like a cancer 'til
one day i'll find you consumed for good
somehow through no fault of yours, somewhere along the way,
you saw a greater worth in me i truly don't deserve
so please tell me, why me?
stay with me - i'm begging you please, i'm begging you please,
i can't make it through this endless night
hold my hand and never let go, please never let go,
please fill my days with your light
colours burst as i close my eyes -
i open my eyes, to this vivid world you showed me
what will i do now without you? life won't be the same
what more can i do without you... can i call your name?
ever since i was born, i knew this from the very start:
"i just want to disappear, and i just don't want to stay here"
ever since that moment, i've looked for no one but you
one day, i know we'll meet
on that day, i'll hear your voice
all this sadness deep within me, this weakness in me,
i bear them without complaint
if you were to smile right at me, i'd smile back at you,
despite the pain that remained
now the world, once blurred in my sight -
it melts in my sight, these murky layers of ice
this miracle flooding through me, sets my heart aflame
the warmth of your voice floods through me, calling out my name
what more can i do without you - can i call your name?
Re: Translyrics.exe
another set of translyrics, this time it's a reply version of buzzG's world lampshade! it's sort of a surprise collaboration with luna (a surprise even to her haha) in that i finished her wip for her bday ((hearts
- lyrics:
- You thought you'd lost reasons to smile
As you forgot the dreams you could grasp on
"Well, even if you say your touch will make me fade away,
Let me hold your hand, if we're together it will be okay"
Is what I said
And felt back then...
But this life's just not what I wanted
I've put on a mask that can hide it
The words I said before can't give me courage anymore
I can't bear my thoughts, can't you see that I'm all on my own?
Walking down this path of longing,
If I cannot take this pain of mine, then how could I meet you again?
Or strike a chord to inspire both of us to live once more?
This entire world has shut me out, I know it
There is no place for me, yet I can't escape it
Tell me, if I tried to run to you, now would I
Hear you calling my name and be held in your arms?
But I've locked up my heart to that blaze, ‘cause I’m afraid I will burn and be hurt
I'm trying to see far beyond me
Eluding what's been right before me
Caught in this loneliness, it feels like I will suffocate
Yet it’s what us, selfish people, have to come to accept
Alone in this hopeless world, I reach for your fading light
Without you I can't hold on,
A shadow that will disappear into the darkening sky
The time we spent together burn into ashes
I can't let go
I won't let go
It's all that I have left of you...
Blinded in this world you've left to me, I'm stumbling,
As if I'm in a room with all of the lights out
Even if you're not here with me, I wonder
If turning on a lamp will help me see?
This entire world has shut me out, I know it
There is no place for me, yet I won't escape it
Even if I ran to you, I know that I won't
Hear you calling my name and be held in your arms
But I've opened my heart to that blaze, 'cause I'm no longer afraid I'll be hurt
I will never forget you
This warmth you've kindled here inside me burns at a steady thirty-six degrees
