Okay, I finished translating the full version of Dlanor's Image song!

Here are some notes on the song (for those who don't feel like going to the Youtube page and reading the description):

-Dogura Magura is a Japanese mystery by Yumeno Kyuusaku. It has no english translation, so I don't really know what it is about, but here's a short description (halfway down page):

-Orient Express is an obvious reference to the Agatha Christie mystery Murder on the Orient Express.

-"the yellow room" is a reference to The Mystery of the Yellow Room by Gaston Leroux, which is considered the quintessential closed room mystery.

- "In darkness as dark as Rue MORGUE" is a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's mystery The Murders in the Rue Morgue.

If you actually want to read the kanji/romaji at the top, go HD because it's really hard to see. And the vid is kinda hacked together -I'm sorry, I did this really late at night- I may upload a better version later.



I've also done short versions of the other three songs in the album. I'm planning on finishing them, too.

Spoiler for Lots of space (Ange/Amakusa, Kyrie, and Beato EP5 Image songs):


Like usual, feedback is appreciated. If you find something, leave a comment on the video, please - I'm far more likely to read that. Be merciless, but not cruel.
