About

心色、魂路 (Kokoro-iro, Tamashi-iro) is a personal J-pop fan translation site of Makemi. All of the translations are her own. The original lyrics are copyright their respective artists. She is not an official translator, and uses these translations mainly to practice her Japanese. She has passed the (pre-2010) JLPT 三級 but is currently in an epic struggle with 二級. For a full disclaimer on her translations, please read the Notes section.

She is currently an ALT living in the land of the Rising Sun.

Feel free to email her regarding any of her translations or suggestions for songs to add. =)

Enjoy!

Updates

Well it's been a long time in coming, but I've finally redone the site. The old one was an affront to the internet. This is my first project that required advanced css, so please be kind. ^^;;

The song list has been redone and I've finally added the 12 or so other songs that I've translated over the last year but never put up. Most of the video links are broken (curse you youtube for taking them all down!) so please bear with me as I try to find new video links.

In addition to translations, I might just post random Jpop news. God bless Lawson's montly concert ticket magazine! I just found out that my favorite artist of all time, composer Yuki Kajiura (you'll find scores of her stuff in the song list, I absolutely adore this woman) has been composing for a new band, Kalafina since 2008. Kalafina has just released a new album, Red Moon, which I am in love with! Expect to see some of their songs here in the near future.
