You can also write your own, but I prefer to just copy-paste it.
 * 1) Make a new page called Talk:USER NAME/Archive 1 (so in your case Talk:ElectricRaichu/Archive 1).
 * 2) Copy-paste this message on top of the new page: This is an archive of past discussions. Please do not edit the content of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on my current talk page.

Translation Requests
Hi, sorry if this has been asked before but do you take translation requests? CandyCaneMoe (talk) 05:14, January 6, 2019 (UTC) Good to know you take translation requests, It would be nice if you translated the song キルミー.

Rikei Joshi wa Warawanai/Ningen Dokku feat. Kagamine Rin & Len
A translation has been added to the page. If there's time, check at least a sample and make sure it is good. This translation was hard and long, so I am a little insecure of it, unlike that with Static and Boku ga Namae o Yobu Hi.


 * I started having a look and revised the first few verses. I'm not confident, but I think the verse starting 君の気体検知機濡らして is making requests because the second line ends with 溶かせ which could be imperative. However, it could also be combinative form of the passive, and that would fit more comfortably with the last line of the verse which is why I'm not sure.
 * I think それなら今すぐ服を脱いでね refers to the boy's clothes because he's being put on the lab bench.
 * I'll try and do some more when I have the time. ElectricRaichu (talk) 02:50, January 9, 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the checking. Please make sure the translated title is correct too, because I was insecure if "笑わない" is interpreted there as "laugh" or "smile". RandomAir BGM (talk) 03:10, January 9, 2019 (UTC)
 * Pretty sure it should be "smile". The video shows her not smiling, not smiling but not laughing. - ElectricRaichu
 * Did you actually hear the song? Rin sung the verse, "それなら今すぐ服を脱いでね" .  Do you actually think she wants the boy to take her clothes off? RandomAir BGM (talk) 18:22, January 9, 2019 (UTC)

Really? I thought it was Len asking her to undress him ... Their voices have been so distorted they're barely distinguishable. Anyway, I'll go through and colour the parts now. If you don't mind, could you check I've got them right? ElectricRaichu (talk) 21:49, January 9, 2019 (UTC) Me too. Len's and Rin's voices were unusually different here then in other songs. But still, you did the coloring right. Do you have time to check the rest of this? And after them, you can finally conclude the correction for Static and Boku ga Namae o Yobu Hi. Soon, I will add a translation to the Watashi ga Koi o Shiru Hi, Terekakushi Shishunki and so there. RandomAir BGM (talk) 22:28, January 9, 2019 (UTC)


 * Sorry I got sidetracked with Anisong's requests because they were much easier to handle (the translations were already pretty good) and I didn't get to finish science girl today. I'll try to look at it again tomorrow. ElectricRaichu (talk) 08:33, January 10, 2019 (UTC)
 * Something's come up IRL so I might not have much time the next few days. ElectricRaichu (talk) 03:32, January 12, 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Raichu!
I've added new official English translations of my songs. Rainy did a quick check, but could you please as native speaker take a quick look too?

Shin'en no Hashi ni

Senmou

Asa ga Kuru mae ni

Thank you!!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Hi, thank you very much for your help! I made changes according to your remarks in Englishi translation. The only thing I cannot change now, is japanese lyrics in 朝が来る前に, because this song is already released..

verse 3 踊れている is potential and the -te iru form sounds a bit strange to me, but maybe it would mean "we get to dance" or something like that. verse 4 starting a line with が is irregular. Usually in lyrics particles are kept with what they apply to, even if the phrases of the melody suggest otherwise, but it's still understandable so it's up to you. 1) 踊れている - is my very huge mistake, that I didn't realize before.. There should be 踊っている. Maybe I can fix it later, by releasing a new "remastered" version of this song. 2) が　should be in the raw with 永遠の愛, but in this case the rhyme would be lost. I don't know if I could just skip this particle like japanese often skip in daily conversations.. But anyway I'll try to avoid such things in future songs.

Hey, who plays the elec. guitar in the song? all guitar parts and solos in my songs are played by me on live guitar. Bass, drums and piano are made with VST plugins in FL studio. Mixing and mastering are still on bad level, but I try to improve the quality with every new song^_^

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your help and advices!

New Page Request/Yappa Saikyou by HoneyWorks feat. Hatsune Miku & GUMI
Hey. Since Amandelen no longer takes page creation requests, could you please create a page for this new HoneyWorks song? If there's time, I'll plan a translation after I finish "Tomodachi Yori Daijina Hito". RandomAir BGM (talk) 18:26, January 18, 2019 (UTC)


 * Things have settled down a bit at home, except the heatwave is still ongoing, so I'll add it to my list of current requests, but it might take some time until I get to it. ElectricRaichu (talk) 01:02, January 19, 2019 (UTC)

New song, need your help
Hi, seems I need your help again. I've made English translation for my nes song Eimin no Sekai e Since I'm not a native English speaker, I would like to ask you to make a review, if you have some time. Thank you in advance!! Aniforce

I made some small amendments but mostly it's pretty good. There is a mistake in the Japanese, though. It should be 帰還不能限界点. Also, 最後 when referring to one's final moment can be written 最期. I would have used that in the last verse.

Thanks! You are very attentive as always ^_^ I made a mistake in 帰還不能限界点 while writing text in MS word.. And the worst thing is that I cannot change it now in video on YouTube. So I hope people will excuse me for that.. And I didn't know there are two ways of writing 最後 and 最期, thanks for the info:) I have N4 lvl and going to try N3 this year, so in my songs there are some words I used first time and didn't know them before, but writing songs helps me to learn new words^_^

TYDH Request Update + Ippun Ichibyou Kimi to Boku no/HoneyWorks meets Sphere
I finished the video of Tomodachi Yori Daijina Hito. AngelChu was right, the translation was pretty simple but still, if you don't mind, please give it a quick check. I took whole yesterday to do it, in Saturday, I was busy in real life, so I might have made mistakes.

This HoneyWorks song has nothing to do with Vocaloid, but I think it's immensely beautiful. I understand most of the lines in this song, but I am in hesitation with the "忘れない一分一秒君の言葉"  line, and am not sure if the translated version is either, "I won't forget a minute or second of your words", or "This minute and second that I won't forget, it's all your words". Which interpretation would you take? RandomAir BGM (talk) 23:38, January 21, 2019 (UTC)

Male/Female language question?

白い雪のプリンセスは
I hope I am not in the way, but I had to reword some stuff and fix 1 mistake in the translation. Just in case you forgot, or didn't know, "二乗" means, "squared, to square (in power)". I've been learning Japanese math topics such as algebra & geometry about shapes, pythagereom theorem, etc.., for a while and found out about that recently. Double would mean either "ダブル" or "倍増". And also I had to re-word some stuff that didn't feel like the song was dramatic (because it is). You can see what I changed in the edits, and possibly you could understand why I changed it.

Question about "Dasu, Dashite, Dashita"
I think "dasu" is a separate word because it's a particle put at the end of a verb, and it means, "to start (doing something)". Why do we have to merge it with other words in Romaji?

And also, when verbs take command form they use te, de, se, ke, and ze (male only). But doesn't it look wierd that -suru (to do) inflects to "shite" and turns into other weird forms like "shichatteru, shichau". Also isn't it wierd that "sagasu" (to search) inflects all the way from that to "sagashi". Plus, "watasu" (to hand over) turns into "watashi", (which can confuse other people with the pronoun version meaning "I"). Is there any answer or conclusion to this?

Damsukekun said it was 'neutral' though I'm sure some could be changed to be more accurate (more specifically "I won't let you speak kiss" stands out as "off"/incorrect to me :'D)

Well, Dame just said it's neutral because I mean, that's like the type of English he understands...lol no offense though. He even types "not a few", trying to mean "few". But it's forgivable, because English has to be your native language for perfect speaking (not even I speak it perfectly). Anyway, I made a translation for that song a long time ago, so I fixed it in accordance with my lines. Didn't add my credit though. I don't need any.

(ElectricRaichu) can you please check and finish the translation for the "Science Girl "? Or is it done already?

Adminship (again)?
Hey,

I asked you about adminship a while ago, and was wondering if you're still interested in being an admin if we skipped the Request for Adminship process and I just made you an admin? That's largely how it works on Vocaloid Wiki as well, so I figured it should be all right to do so. Amandelen (talk) 10:08, March 2, 2019 (UTC)


 * I'm glad you're still interested! I'll make the announcement somewhere today. Amandelen (talk) 08:41, March 3, 2019 (UTC)


 * It seems all regular users are in favour of you becoming admin, so I've updated your user rights. If you need help with anything, feel free to ask me! I hope you have a nice day =). Amandelen (talk) 12:14, March 4, 2019 (UTC)

Hello again,

You're right about the main features. There's also the Admin Dashboard which has some handy links. I'll try to give you a quick rundown on how I do things like blocking/etc and I'll also give you some links for further reading if you're interested. I also want to mention that this is the way I do things and it works for me, but I in no way think this is always the best way to handle things.

Protecting pages
I personally only protect pages if they are vandalised frequently (i.e. more than once a month) or if an unrecommended translation keeps being added no matter how many times it's been removed. I'll usually do an infinite protection (as it can always be removed) and keep it open for regular users (so the block only affects anons and users who didn't register with their e-mail). To protect a page, you should hover over the arrow next to the edit button and click on "protect" in the drop-down menu. There's an article about protecting pages on the community central too.

Deleting pages
I personally don't really like deleting pages so I don't do it often. Normally, I'd only delete pages if they are covers that we don't allow on the wiki, if they're duplicated pages, or if the lyrics of the song can't be obtained anywhere (including the video). That being said, you might have noticed that recently a user keeps making new pages with almost no layout and no lyrics, and if I can't find the transcribed lyrics of the songs they add I delete the page too. I don't really like doing that since (as I mentioned) I don't like deleting pages, but they've been told multiple times that they should find the lyrics to the song first before making a page and they don't seem to listen. As such I don't really see any other option than just deleting it and hoping they'll get the hint that way. Another exception was the +IMPALE page, which I removed because an employee of fandom removed it over on Vocaloid Wiki. I thought it was kind of inevitable that they'd remove it here too. Deleting works in the same way as protecting, except that you should click on "delete" instead of protect. More info can be found here.

Blocking users
I usually only block users immediately if they're either said something really racist/sexist/homophobic/etc. or if they removed whole blocks of content from pages (such as this edit). Otherwise I tend to give users multiple warnings that their behaviour should stop, and if after three warnings they don't I'll block them. The length of the block is something I struggle with myself, but I usually try to keep it on the shorter side (i.e. two months max) unless they have been blocked before for similar reasons or they vandalised multiple pages. To block a user, you should go to their user page, click "Contributions" and click "Block" at the top of the page. More info can be found here.

Other features
The only other feature I use semi-frequently is the Announcements feature, which I use when I want to propose something (e.g. a layout change, a new admin) or when something other of relevance to the whole site happens (e.g. Niconico links not working properly and why). You can access it yourself by going to the admin dashboard, selecting the "general" tab (top right), and clicking on "Announcements" (second row, fifth icon). I then give it a short title and link to a forum thread about the topic.

That's about all there is to it I think. I hope this helps! Amandelen (talk) 09:47, March 6, 2019 (UTC)

Some Translation Help
Hey, it's been a while!

Some good news has hit me that I've passed the JLPT N2! Not the best score, but hey, I passed :D

I have a couple of questions about translating HEART by MermaidP. I have the tentative translation on my blog, but the main problems are here bolded:

考えたってつまんないの　くだらない

If I thought about it, it really is boring and trivial

There's a lot of this 考えたって in this song, and from looking it up, it seems to be a type of conditional used with どう考えたって but I'm not quite sure how to take the って in this case.

ココロから壊れてくとしたって　君のこと　忘れられないんだ

Even if my body and soul is breaking apart, I am unable to forget about you

This is another one I'm struggling with, and it comes down once again to this って, and some of it from the とした. From what I know, とする can be used in a variety of ways, indicating trying something after a volitional しようとする and to hypothisize or assume something 彼にとって正直が必要とする or something along the lines of something being decided, like 授業をサボる学生が多いから、毎日通わないなら居残りしなければなれないルールとする学校が普通. But I don't remember seeing a ～ていくとする before, and with the って along side it, I have no idea what it means. I don't know if the って is even a speech marker or a conditional at this point, or neither and something Mermaid P decided to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Request
[//vocaloidlyrics.fandom.com/wiki/Angry https://vocaloidlyrics.fandom.com/wiki/Angry] Do you think you could translate the JP section of this? (i think the composer used google translate to begin with, so it should be quick/fairly easy compared to someone who's first language is JP)

Kirara
子供と大人の間で / 忙しく変わる心を / 大丈夫だよきっと晴れるよ / この夏は特別なんだ

I'd translate this line as "In the space between children and adults, (our) hearts are busy changing. It's okay, it'll (this tough time) surely pass. (Afterall, without a doubt, ect.)This summer is special" The なんだ is used for emphasis to stress that this summer is exceptional and different from the others. The part about the space between children and adult could also be summarized as 'during puberty/adolescence' but that's less literal.

Sorry if this wasn't very helpful, but this is just my impression of this verse. Feel free to hit me up if you need anymore help :D

Damesuke said it was done by a native speaker but there's still some mistakes (or i suppose we could wait for Forgetful to do the translation as usual but I believe she's on hiatus)

Re: Two language versions
It depends. If the song is made by the same author, then the second method you mention (with the tabs) would be the correct one (an example of such a format would be this page, but one with tabs works fine too). We've never really added fanmade covers in another language, so we don't really have a set procedure for that. I guess it should be treated as a spin-off, though.

Urgent: Questionable/explicit lyrics
Tokina just informed me (in private) about this message. I think we should get explicit material off of this wiki as fast as possible to prevent locking from happening to this wiki as well. Maybe we can copy-paste it to Vocaloid Database (for now) and just put a link to that website? That way we'll still have the lyrics, and we'll be able to come up with a more detailed plan together with the community later. Amandelen (talk) 18:33, April 3, 2019 (UTC)


 * Edit: Tokina also pointed me to Miraheze, which has less strict guidelines (Uncyclopedia is also on there, which contains VERY explicit pages). There are detailed guidelines on how to export a wikia to it, so that's another option. If we're going that route we should probably make a community announcement first though. Amandelen (talk) 19:21, April 3, 2019 (UTC)


 * Edit2: I apologize for the spam, but I'm finding things as I go along and want to make sure you have all relevant information. As can be seen by looking at this wiki (?) that is part of Miraheze, lyrics seem to be allowed. We probably should put a disclaimer to mention that if the author requests it, things can be removed (like mentioned on the front page now), but it seems like they'll accept lyrics wikis. Amandelen (talk) 19:39, April 3, 2019 (UTC)

Before I start, I apologize if this is kind of jumbled/messy. I've had a long day and I'm exhausted, but I don't want to leave your message unanswered. I'll try to compose a more coherent reply tomorrow. Using Vocaloid Database as a lyrics host seems to be the best solution to me right now (especially since riipah is mostly okay with it). I personally think censoring out some things if the majority of the song is okay shouldn't be a problem (as we've been doing it with swear words for quite some time). I think for the rules, we should remove content that is of the following: "...lyrics with extreme sexual content, extreme violence (and especially sexual violence) as well as white supremacist and racist lyrics.". This is part of the message that was left on Lyrics wiki, and while it's still not very clear it's a bit more direct than the TOS. We should probably also add a sentence to the explicit lyrics template that if fandom finds the content to be offending we will remove the lyrics. I'll start making a template for removed lyrics either tomorrow or this weekend. I'm not sure if we should delete songs based on titles, as there is a possibility (especially if the song is popular) that the page will just be added back, but I can't really make up my mind right now so I'll articulate this point better tomorrow. Amandelen (talk) 20:47, April 4, 2019 (UTC)

As for deleting songs based on titles, I don't think that it's a good idea because the song will probably be added back (especially if it's a popular song, like for example Gigantic OTN). Removing the pages permanently will probably lead to us having to explain why a song is not here over and over again, so I think a better solution is to just censor the title. As for explicit images, we should probably just remove those and replace them with boxart. Amandelen (talk) 17:10, April 5, 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with the procedure you proposed. Here is a list of songs with the Explicit template. As most pages should be properly marked by now I think we should only check these pages for offending content. The questionable template often only has mild swearing or vague references, so those shouldn't really be a problem. I'll start working on the template for removed lyrics today.

Azalea Ghost
Hi ElectricRaichu, there's this part in Azalea Ghost that I'm having the hardest time trying to unravel. From listening to the song and watching the PV over and over again, I understand the gist of the story, but it's this part that's really bothering me:

キミを守る街は切なく尖った

まるでボクは振りかざす刃で


 * The town that protects you became painfully sharp


 * It was like I wielded a blade overhead and…

I don't know if 尖る in this case is anything other than to 'sharpen' because I think it links into the next line of the Ghost feeling as if he held a blade high above his head. It can also mean to be 'displeased/upset' but I think there's a definte connection to the next line as the hypothetical blade is now being brandished by the Ghost, or so he feels like it is. Before really sitting down and taking this song one line at a time, I thought that the second line meant something like "It felt like I was stabbed with a knife" but nothing like that is in here. Or is this a metaphor for the girl dying in the town, and he's relating the town to a weapon like a blade that he held since he feels responsible for her death? I just can't figure out what's between the lines here.

Since this following section is at the end, I'm not quite sure if the girl is actually dead, or if he is supposing she is:

キミを守る街にキミはいなくて

それならボクはこの街の孤独な亡霊だ


 * In the town that protects you, you are no more


 * In that case I am the lonely ghost of this town

The last line says:

愛も知らないまま　生き続けよう


 * As I don't know love, let's continue living

There was imagery that had the girl looking lifeless in a pile of red flowers, and after that she is referred to somewhat abstractly, so at first I thought she got killed, but after getting to this part I'm not quite sure. Maybe at the end she too became a ghost and that's why they can 'continue living'? Or is this all just hypothetical in the sense that one day she will die and he'll end up all alone again?

I know you're tired and need rest, so don't feel like you need to get back to me on this right away! I hope you feel better :D

Vaffisuco (talk) 03:00, April 4, 2019 (UTC)

Ohh I completely overlooked the 2nd meaing of 尖る which makes a lot more sense considering that he as the personification of the town is able to feel her death and feels responsible since the girl died.

My general understanding of the story is that there is this kinda crappy and desolate town which the narrator personifies. The PV has a figure of a boy with mechanical parts like gears and pipes coming out of him. He continues to live and live, growing bored and cynical of his position, but the girl is then born/comes into the town, and he begins to feel for her. Since he is the spirit of the city, the girl is unable to notice him even though he tries to make himself known to her. The town starts to wonder it he would be 'free' if the love he held for the girl and the girl herself went away, but he becomes anxious at the thought of the girl going away because he wonders "who's she would become". The girl then passes away/ is killed, but even in spite of that the town decides to continue living.

I don't know if you're a fan of Tohma's works, but this one in particular is really interesting! There's even some fan-works inspired from this concept floating around.

Thank you so much for the help! I really appreciate it!

translation check
Hello,

I know, you seem rather busy, recently... but when you have some time, I'd appreciate some assistance.

The truth is, though mostly I provide just occasional edits on here, romaji checks and such, I've been trying to understand more of the lyrics themselves, and translating them, as well. Especially, what I've been concerned with for a while, is some of Nayutan Seijin's songs-- one of my favorite artists, I know his music well-- and in particular, what I'm about to ask about, is the song Kinsei no Dance.

There's a translation up right now, I know; one I see is by someone listed as neutral, but... I rather disliked it. Even aside from the mistakes in English, there were a few lines I could easily see had been misinterpreted... and I'd already had one in progress myself, so I eventually pushed myself to finish it.

If you could, I'd like it looked over... I try to consider things carefully as I can, but I know I don't have a lot of experience, and there's only so far I can get on my own. So, I'm asking you.

I've posted it to a blog post, here.

Sorry if I rambled on a bit. Please treat me kindly..

Edit: was so anxious about this I forgot to title the message yay

Thanks! I think it's fine. I guess it wasn't translated by VG b/c it wasn't part of the offiical lyrics/more of someone saying it in the backing

Re:Check out this picture
Thanks for reaching me out even if I'm quite inactive on VLW and there's a chance that I don't notice your question. By the way, congratulations for acquiring an admin status!

About the costume you asked for, it looks very autentic; it'a national costume from Łowicz in Central Poland (a picture title may works as a little guidance). this photo of boy and girl from an article about Łowicz costumes could be used as reference. The boy in the photo has flowers weaved onto his sleeves but they aren't a mandatory part of the costume.

Maybe you haven't noticed it, but a building design behind the boy peaked my interest, especially flowery paintings on window shutters. I searched a while and looks like the illustrator used photos of buildings from Łowicz skansen - this photo was taken the closest to a place where the boy could sit in real.

About the translation of Otoko no Ko Memorable...
So a few days ago, I was listening to cillia's cover of Otoko no Ko Memorable, and I noticed that the translation looked a little... okay, very spotty. So I decided to check Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki, see if they had a better translation.

They didn't. The page for Otoko no Ko Memorable has the exact same translation from M-I-S-A-K-I.

Is there anyway you could revise the translation, or retranslate the whole song? Yes, I know, you might feel like you have to wash your hands of it afterwards, but it'll all be worth it.

(Btw this is the same anon who asked you to make corrections to the lyrics for REVOLVER. I'm consulting you specifically because you helped me out before, and I admire your skills.)

Re: user page images
Ah, I didn't really notice that the standard message I sent came across as if I suggested that they did it deliberately orz. I'll try to change it up a bit soon to make it more apologetic. We're quite direct in my culture (at least people outside of it say we are), so a message like that isn't really seen as accusatory where I live, which is probably why I didn't notice. Thank you for pointing it out, though! I'm not really a fan of (2) because I'm afraid we'd get in trouble if copyrighted images/images the author doesn't want reuploaded or the like were uploaded. When they're used in articles it's done for illustrative purposes, so more often than not it's seen as okay in that case. However, when it's done for personal use it's a bit different I believe. We could do it anyway if you think it won't be a problem, though. I remember reading about this somewhere in wikia's guidelines back in the day, but I'm not sure where. I've also found a way to edit the template, so I've gone ahead and changed it. If we decide to go with (2) anyway we can always just undo my edit. By the way, if we're talking about images anyway, I've been wondering what to do about illustrators who don't allow reprints (like Danjou Oozora and Suuji). When I've noticed an artist prohibits reprints I've tried to add images of the title screen instead of the illustration, but that doesn't always work. I thought we could maybe change pages which those images with boxart or piapro stock images, and leave a message somewhere that the illustrator forbids reprints. What do you think about this? Amandelen (talk) 21:42, June 17, 2019 (UTC)


 * I think it's quite essential that I find the article where I read that it was okay to use images in the way we do, so I'll go looking for that this weekend or next week (I probably won't have enough time to do it this week). In the meantime, I've found this template on Vocaloid Wiki, where it states that the way in which we use images is counted as fair use under USA law. We might need to make a similar template for our images if we want to convey this to users. As for making it known to users, we could try to make a list like the translator license list that we have. If a user uploads such an image anyway we can always remove it again and politely explain why it was removed. I believe that as long as we remove offending material in a timely matter that we shouldn't get in trouble.
 * Also, on the issue of copyright, we should probably make a small notice somewhere on each song page (maybe in the song box so it automatically updates all pages?) that lyrics generally don't fall under CC-BY-SA, since the new message below each page now mentiones "Community content is available under CC-BY-SA unless otherwise noted.". I'll try to have a look at that soon to see if the infobox can be modified that way (I'll just try it out in a sandbox, so no permanent changes yet). What do you think about this? Amandelen (talk) 14:07, June 18, 2019 (UTC)


 * I'll try to see if I'm able to change the message this weekend, too. Amandelen (talk) 13:07, June 19, 2019 (UTC)

Okay I've found the message displayed below pages here. Problem is, I don't have permission to edit it. I guess our best option is to add a notice somewhere that the license for the lyrics is different? I also can't find the article about images I was talking about. I did find this template, which I'll try to modify to better convey what license images fall under.

Hope you'll feel better soon! Please take all the time you need to get better!

 * While I'm here anyway, I've made a test infobox here. When you hover over "Producer(s)" with your mouse, it'll display the following message: "The lyrics on this page are available under Copyright. Please contact the producer before using the lyrics. If the producer(s) want their content to be removed, please leave a comment on this page or contact an administrator.". What are your thoughts on it? Amandelen (talk) 13:55, June 29, 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback! It helps me improve the templates. I've changed the message on the Unverified Translation template to yours. It might take a while for it to show up correctly on the template documentation, but posting it should give the new version. English is replaced with the original language of the lyrics. For example:. As for the infobox template, I mainly copied the message on the bottom of Lyrics Wiki pages, and I thought contacting an admin was the fastest way to remove the lyrics. I see how that might not be the best idea, though. I've changed the message to "The lyrics on this page may be subject to Copyright. If the copyright holder wants their content to be removed, please leave a comment on this page." for now, but it should probably be changed further in the future. As for artist verification, we might be able to ask for verification like Vocaloid Database does. I agree with keeping the page up when possible, and I've made a draft template with the reason the lyrics has been removed here (although I'm not really happy with the way the message is worded yet).

New Translation
Hi, I tried to add a translation to this page

君のいない世界には音も色もない (Kimi no Inai Sekai ni wa Oto mo Iro mo nai)

but I am only a starter on the lyric translation. ^ ^

When I actually tried to add them, the admin says it has to be checked by a native Japanese person, would you like to offer help?

Feel free to point out mistakes I've made

And if it's about the style of translation, feel free to comment or give suggestions.

I just leave it here for now (still a bit uncertain about several lines.

For some reason, we can never be molded into one existence
 * I've promptly noticed that

I wish I can be with you
 * Since I am so weak and fragile

Even if only for now, May I hold your hand tight?
 * The heat superimposed by you makes me feel the extra coldness

Please leave the world after me
 * Even if it is only for one second,

There is no sound or color left for me
 * In the world without you

But I don't care who it is
 * Wonder if anybody will laugh at me

Even though I know nothing beyond the things I already know Please still trust me I Don't know whether the sky is going to shine or rain, It's like a drawn curtain So without seeing anything, I grieved at the things that I concealed Open the window and it was too That I have to turn my eyes back
 * Because I believe one day I will think like that


 * And it is you who said, "It'll be fine."


 * I came to the world alone unable to find support


 * Though I shall long have understood the pain like this


 * But since you give acceptance and give me denial,


 * If my heart that was made from those words have any heaviness,


 * I want it to be double in size (?)

Please leave the world after me
 * Even if it is only for one second,

I can not even take a breathe
 * In the world without you


 * As the chances to get worried like this will not be much in remaining,


 * please tell me the things you deem important
 * I still remember that since the day that I was near your side in the seat by the window
 * I still remember that since the day that I was near your side in the seat by the window


 * I have always been thinking about you


 * I have always been thinking about you
